Satellite M30X-159 - laptop crashes + USB problem

I bought my M30X in February, in April, all 3 USB ports failed. I tried to install the update to the Bios, reformatted nothing doesn't. In may, the motherboard has been replaced. Yesterday, I used a memory stick once again, and while the two USB ports worked properly, the laptop began to hang after that I joined the memory stick on the side right port USB - no icons on the desktop more, impossible to close, so I used a hard reset. The memory stick does not cause any problems on other machines.

I want to know is whether this incident is a source of concern and if I should replace this machine by one another, more reliable that doesn't let me down while I'm away from home and my office?

Hello

You should try to connect USB devices with an external power USB Hub, because some devices (also a small USB key) is in need of a little tension. Maybe your M30X electronic feeding is broken, so there is not enough voltage to detect your USB device!

Good bye

  • Satellite L20E - external numeric keypad USB problem

    Hello

    I have problem with my Satellite L20E - when I connect external USB numpad, it interferes with the keyboard of the computer.
    I would like to work independentaly (i.e. ' J' on my regular keyboard as a 'J' and '1' on my keypad external as '1'), but when I turn the keypad numlock, it also enables the numeric keypad of the keyboard regular (i.e. when I press the 'J', it returns the value '1') - on my previous Satellite 1410-903, this has worked.
    This bug really bothers me, because I need to enter large amounts of numbers.

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hello

    Believe it s not a little money. Please try to activate the function with the FN + F11 key combination. This function turns on and the small gray signs to your keyboard. Well, also check the function FN + F10

    Please also check the chapter 5 of the user manual. You will find lots of information on the keyboard

  • Satellite M30X: Problems with external USB 2.0 HARD drive

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I bought recently a 200 GB external hard drive. It has its own power supply. If I connect with USB 2.0 on my laptop, it happens to disconnect and reconnect leads him. Sometimes it works, so I can put data on the disc. Then again, he diconnects and reconnects repeatedly. I've tried a different USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I plugged the external hard drive to many other computers (Laptop and Tower) and it STILL works! It is that with my cell phone, it disconnects and reconnects all the time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for a half an hour or two and then the action begins again...

    If anyone can help?

    Hello

  • Problems of transfer of files on the laptop with USB - Satellite Pro L100

    I have a Topfield Freeview box that connects to my Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 via a very short USB cable. The box can read MP3s that I add via the USB connection.

    My previous laptop added to hundreds of songs without any problem at all. However, this new Toshiba there are very particular problems.

    I can send files of the TNT box to the laptop via USB with no problems, but if I try to send files (for example an MP3) Unlike - laptop box - it stutter and often fail. From time to time an entire song (only 4-5 MB) may be transferred without problems, but normally, it will not work. As I said, I can send 100 MB s, the other direction and everything works fine.

    I tried transfer MP3s from my laptop and on the TNT housing with non-Toshiba laptop from a friend today and worked well. This collaboration with knowing I could do the same with my old laptop, suggests that the problem is clearly with the laptop. There must be a reason this notebook can transfer information via USB in a much better than in the other direction.

    Is there anything I can do to upgrade drivers or software to allow my laptop works properly?

    [Edited by: admin]

    I put t know why this happens and I can only suggest.
    For example on my laptop when something be transferred from an external source laptop and another way the software Anti Virus check all files and so it takes much more time.

    I just disabled the anti scan antivirus and firewall and the transfer was going faster.

    Eventually he s has the same problem on your laptop

  • Satellite M30X powers off the power when you touch the USB port

    Hello everyone, just registered and it is the first problem:
    As there is no general hardware forum, I post my problem here.

    I got it twice, my laptop
    (Product: Satellite M30X, Version: PSA72E - 008010GR) just went completely off.

    Motherboard:

    NorthBridge: Intel i855GME
    SouthBridge: (ICH4-M) of 82801DBM LPC Interface Bridge
    Motherboard model: Toshiba EAL20

    USB:

    82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI controller #1-3
    Version: 1.0
    Interface: UHCI
    Frequency: 48 MHz

    82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB 2.0 EHCI controller
    Version: 2.0
    Interface: EHCI

    I have the latest Intel Chipset drivers installed and Windows XP Home SP3 with all updates.

    Once when I hit just the back USB ports with a USB plug, the other time when I unplugged my bluetooth key (climbing din't remove it).
    There was no blue screen or message of any kind, not even in the registry after you start the system again or this fatal system error box when you start after a system error.

    Just a total failure. But it works fine the rest of the time. I also tried to remake the script, but it didn't work.
    I have cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and has taken a good look, but saw no difference to the side track.
    Maybe the clamps of the wand to shield a little more out to the contact pins on the rear.

    What bothers me a bit, it's some time ago, I had the laptop one computer my knees and I forgot that a memory stick has been connected to the rear. The stick was pushed up and was slightly damaged.
    Still works well. Now for me, that I broke the USB port Insider somehing.
    I could not determine also the loose parts or unfirm at all.

    Y at - it there, diagnostic software that measures the motto of the port or power problems?
    I have a multimeter, fetch short-circuits with it?

    I saw a package of drivers Intel for USB 2.0 over there, but I can't find it on their page, advice?

    Thank you very much for your help, I just wanted to update my RAM and now I am not so shure if my laptop will last the next week.

    Fabian

    Hello

    I put t know any diagnostic software that could analyze this question, I think that a technician of the ASP may be able to provide exactly this question results

    > What bothers me a little is that some time ago, I had the laptop and my knees and I forgot that a memory stick has been connected to the rear. The stick was pushed up and was slightly damaged.

    I think this might be the reason why the laptop stopped while you touch the USB port eventually ports were damaged by using the memory stick, this could cause the laptop off

    However, what we can do is to provide some suggestions and assumptions
    It you want to know why this is happening exactly, then you need to contact a technician laptop for a control.

  • Satellite M30x not recognizing not all USB ports

    My Satellite M30x has recently ceased to recognize all USB devices are connected that he, being a huge super biff computer I can only assume all my USB ports are totally exhausted.

    If anyone has any other theories id be more than happy to hear... Thanks :)

    Hello

    Something similar happened on my laptop. The laptop has stopped to recognize the external device (USB HDD). Someone told me that it happened because I used the safely remove. Usually, if you want to for example disconnect the USB HDD or USB key, you must use the remove before disconnecting the device from the laptop.
    I just deleted all ports USB device and Manager after restarting the laptop operating system recognized all the USB ports again. Further, I have connected my external HARD drive, and it worked!

    I put t know which external USB devices you use, but sometimes the machines cannot be allowed because the ports USB don t provide enough power.
    In this case, you can disable the mode without power failure in the USB hub properties in Device Manager.

    Good luck

  • Toshiba satellite pro m30 USB problem

    I have toshiba satellite pro m30 and HP scanjet 4600 scanner.when I connect the scanner directly to the notebok with its ' original usb cable there is no problem. But if I connect the scanner to the laptop with a laptop usb extension cable cannot initialize the scanner. There is no problem if I connect the scanner to the VAIO laptop with usb extension cable. What can I do?

    Hello

    could you describe the difference between the original USB cable and the USB extension cable?

    The laptop and the printer works correctly with the original USB cable, but it seems that the extension USB cable is an inexpensive which does not fulfill the technical specifications and the laptop has a problem with this issue.

    To solve the problem in my opinion you could do an update of the BIOS, look if for your printer is a new driver available and reinstall the USB drivers.

    Also, you could test whether USB, the same problem occurs with other cables.

  • Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

    I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

    Hello
    Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

  • Power supply with Satellite M30x problem

    When I connect my Satellite M30X in power, he sometimes shows the power light and the battery light. It can then be turned on and will start and run.
    Most of the time the power light blinks and the battery light stay out: it will not illuminate.

    When it turns on, it will work for a period of a minute or two till about 4 hours and stops randomly.
    Now the led starts flashing and continues to Flash while it is powered.

    There must be some problem with electronic control gear. Strange is that this problem occurs from time to time.
    Sorry, but if you want to get rid of it you must contact Toshiba service and let check your laptop.

    To be honest, it can happen that
    Entire motherboard must be exchanged, and it can be quite expensive. Might be time for the new laptop computer. Satellite M30 is really old.

    What do you think of all this?

  • Satellite M30X starting problems

    Hello!

    My Satellite M30X doesn't start normally more. When I press the power button, it turns on, the fan starts, but nothing happens. Or sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes before then the Toshiba logo appears, it begins in place.

    After that, I sometimes get a message that the Smart HD feature has detected a failure in my HD. But not all the time.

    I have Linux and Win XP on my hard drive. When I use Win XP, it starts normally, then after a few minutes, I get the BOD with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Or sometimes, the system just hangs. If I boot mode safe, everyting works fine.

    On Linux, the system freezes after 30 minutes of use.

    I'm tempted to think that I just need to reformat my HD (I have a 100gig HD of Fujitsu), and everything will be fine. I have to try again. And also once again, on Win XP Safe Mode, everything works very well - I can't even use WLAN, and I am writing this same post! But if it's just a software or an OS problem, why not not my laptop start normally? I mean, why is that sometimes it does not start at all (the Toshiba logo does not appear), and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on so that it works. Sometimes it is not boot at all, no matter how many times I try it turn on and off. The power on light comes on, fan will start, then fan turns off, light is always turned on and nothing happens. Or it could be caused by a faulty hard drive? Is that why it sometimes does not start at all? But if it is the HD, why is there not a problem in Mode safe?

    It is so weird coz it wasn't a problem before, and he appeared out of the blue.

    Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a hardware problem. I think it works in safe mode because other such graphics card device drivers are not loaded.
    As I know the IRQL error also occurs if the blue screen of death appears on the screen. I think that it us something wrong with the graphics card or the memory modules.
    I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba for help.

  • Re: Satellite M30X - battery won't charge unless the laptop is turned off!

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30X who is about 4 years old and all of a sudden, she stopped electric network load when the laptop is turned on but strangely fees - although very slowly - when it is turned off.

    Any ideas please.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    If you want and if you can, then you could try to replace the battery to check if this problem is related to a dysfunction of the accumulator.
    I mean your battery is 4 years old and it wouldn't be nothing unusual if your battery does not work as it should.
    My battery is about 6 years old and 3 years may not be loaded correctly.

    But note that these are only suggestions and if you want to be 100% sure, you should ask a technician for a detailed notebook check.

    Hello

    How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

    Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.
