• Satellite P200-140-CD/DVD drive does not read the CD

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite P200-140. The DVD/CD Player plays all DVDs without problem. However, it does not read CD. A message 'no disc' appears.
  I've updated the drivers, cleaned the lens, completed all the normal tasks.

  Any advise / solutions out there?

  Hello

  Maybe you should try to remove the capital letters and lowerfilters in the registry, because you can often read here in the forum:

  (1) run regedit (Start-Run-Regedit online online)
  2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
  (4) restart.

  I hope this works for you too! :)

• Satellite P200 - 17 c - freezes at loading Vista

  Hi all, I have the following system:

  Satellite P200 - 17 c
  Intel® Centrino® Core 2 Duo Processor T5450
  Genuine Windows® Vista® Ultimate Edition
  DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) drive
  2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB
  17.1 "Toshiba TruBrite® WXGA + TFT display

  The issues I'm having is that when I start the laptop, it freezes at the loading bit Windows Vista. I so can't further.

  I did some research on the internet and he advised removing the DVD drive, and then start the laptop. I did and he'll actually past Windows loading, but then the screen turns white for a while, eventually he'll in CHKDSK - here it always freezes at 31%. I was able to access the Advanced Boot Options, but it freezes trying to get into Safe Mode. I don't have a disc of recovery at hand, however, I have a Vista OS disk, I can also access the BIOS.

  Please indicate how should I proceed? Thank you

  Hi masave,.

  If your laptop also freezes if you enter mode Windows safe, it seems that the OS is confused upward and you probably have to reinstall

  In your case, I'd do a recovery facility. You can use the function of your laptop HARD drive recovery. Go to the advanced Windows (F8) boot menu and select Repair my computer. The installation of recovery will begin now.

• Satellite P200-140 - Toshiba Logo appears for a few seconds, then disappears

  I have a problem simular with a P200-140.

  When he starts the Toshiba Logo appears for a few seconds, then disappears, if I tilt the screen I can see that the image is there but the screen does not light.

  I used my projector SVGA output and which works very well. Sometimes after having started a few times the display returns and will then work fine but disappear again without warning especially if yiou closes the screen.

  I don't know if it's maybe a switch problem?
  Y at - it a contact microphone that could stick when you close the lid?

  I tried deleting and reinstalling display drivers and booting in safe mode, neither makes the difference.

  Hi Mortiss,
  Maybe the backlight of the lcd screen went... (I don't think)
  or broken wires... (!)
  or the lid switch is defectiv (rare)

  ask a servicepartner to help...

  deassemble unity... or watch this will kill your warranty...

• Satellite P200-140: cannot install software on Vista with the administrator account

  Hello

  just bought a new P200-140 Sat with windows vista at home, but I cannot load the software on the computer.

  I'm in administrator mode and when I am trying to load the software I get an error message saying "can only load software as an administrator of disconnection and reconnection as Administrator", but the problem is that I am the administrator.
  can anyone help

  Hello

  Are you sure that the admin account has been activated and you are connected with the admin rights 1005?

  I asked because the administrator in Vista OS account is disabled by default.
  Why? Well, it's an idea to Microsoft ;) and I think that the user must often work with limited rights.
  But if you want to enable this account you can do the following:

  -Right-click on the computer
  -manage
  -users and groups
  -double click on administrator
  -Remove the brand to deactivate account

  After this procedure you can connect to the Vista operating system as an administrator.

  I hope that these tips will help you.

  Good luck

• What is the "coefficient of basic" of the Satellite P200-140

  Is someone can you please tell me what is the Base for the P200-140 (WEI) Score?

  Hello

  Do you mean the basic Score of Vista?

  As far as I know the index Score of Base supports an index from 1 to 6 (6 copies)
  This index provides information on the performance of the computer and how fast the unit is.

  The problem is that the P100 series was delivered with different hardware specifications and therefore the base score can be different.
  Each part of equipment such as GPU, CPU, RAM, HARD drive affects the base score results

• Ports USB Hi-Speed on Satellite P200-140

  I use a P200-140 and it was announced as having USB 2.0 ports, but whenever I have something to connect to USB ports, the message appears: this device can perform faster if plug you it into a USB Port of speed Hi. This laptop is supposed to have 4 hi speed usb ports, then why can I not connect to them?

  This message appears usually when you connect a high-speed USB device into a port that high speed isn t.
  If you do not want to see this message every time you plug in your device, here is how get rid you of it.

  1. open Device Manager click with the right button on my computer, and select Properties.
  2 from there you click on the Hardware tab, click the Device Manager button.
  3. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers icon.
  4. Select the properties of any USB universal host controller.
  5. Select the Advanced tab.
  6. check the box which says: "Don't tell me about USB errors."

  However, this message should not appear as the laptop supports the USB 2.0 interface. It s high speed!
  I assume that it is a bug in the windows operating system. Many people in the internet have reported this and it seems that the new installation of Windows from scratch might help.

• Satellite P200 - 17 c freezes sometimes and the images have a red tint

  OK heres the problems...

  So year ago my computer crashed a lot, I am finally really bored with it so I erased the memory cool.
  Then after doing this, the problem has been resolved, but a new problem came.
  A red hue on everything I have not a clue of how else to to describe. The lines of each image for example a piece of grass has its image in red.
  It seems to just terrible and ruins all movies etc. which is annoying because im fond of youtube.com, I decided to open the laptop (which proved be a pig to open) and cannot find the problem, but when I closed the laptop and shake him a slight noise rattling at the top left of my laptop nearby speakers is here... (laptop = p200 - 17 c)

  2nd problem is that if I leave my laptop to go to a screen saver I will return to the laptop and it will randomly crash, crash not that I can't move my mouse but rather everything that says not responding do not and I turn it off because I can't do anything, has happened for about 2-3 months.
  3rd problem every time I charge the laptop, it is said that the camera is broken and it needs to be reinstalled... since it has never been installed, I don't know what's happening, it is built into the laptop!

  So, any help would be great

  Hello Adam

  In my opinion, you should contact the nearest authorized service (ASP) and speak with the technicians. First question graphic problem is for me the evidence that card doesn't work properly.

  What you can do now is to reinstall the OS with delivered Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  Test this with preinstalled OS clean and without any additional software on the subject.
  If the same thing happens again > ASP.

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

  Hello

  I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

  I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

  I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

  When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

  I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

  I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

  I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

  So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

  I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

  Pedro

  Hey Buddy,

  > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
  Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

  I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

  From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
  I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

  Check this box!

• Satellite M70 151 sometimes freeze

  Hello everyone

  I bought a laptop used by Ebay. The problem is that it won't probably work.

  If I press the case around the keypad button restars suddenly or it just freezes. Or when I'm working with all seems well but then a gel again. Then sometimes I get a blue screen 0 x 00000019 (0 x 00000020, 0 85683780, 0x856837B0, 0x0A060006)

  I already checked the RAM with Memtest drive HARD with HD Tune, HDD Health and the CPU with the first, but everything is fine.

  Something is wrong with my machine, but I don't know what that would be.

  Hope someone can help me.

  Hello!

  > If I press the case around the keypad button restars suddenly or it just freezes
  Looks like a hardware problem. Maybe it s a bad connection on the motherboard and it must be repaired or replaced motherboard.

  In your case, I would go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the laptop and determine why the laptop crashes or restarts all of a sudden.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

• Satellite P200 - all browsers crashes after 5-20 minutes

  I'm losing the will to live with this laptop.
  Satellite P200-13z with Vista 32 bit

  The question is this... no matter what browser I use, it will freeze and hang. Opera, IE and Firefox. Sometimes, it will be good and knitting for 20 minutes, sometimes it will crash in 5 minutes.

  I updated my drivers, made re - installs operating system clean, tested my RAM, stop all the but MS services, virtual memory increased, prayed in various Germanic gods.
  I have Avast and Zone Alarm connecting only Non MS. services I can stop them and see what happens, but not sure it will cause.

  I am of the opinion that we linked memory and how it is handled, as possible aligned with Adobe Flash (arrow). Maybe a Vista problem.
  Uninstalling this curse (Flash) does not seem to solve the problem either.

  Can someone point me in the right direction? 18 months trying to solve this problem... and now I need the laptop to full time it needs to be fixed.

  It is not an isolated problem that or the other, google image search "vista all the browser crash ' to see what is happening there and completely lack of knowledge or solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much in advance for a supported.

  Hello

  Do you mean exactly by accident?
  None of the browsers only freeze or you get a blue screen?

  Have you noticed the behavior even if you use another application like Word, Excel, some Windows games or something similar? This occur using only browsers?

  I have Satellite P200 too and after 2 years of use still works well.
  To be honest I've never heard that someone is looking to fix at 18 months. It can be fixed, or you need professional with that help until the warranty is valid.

• Satellite P200-1EE PSPB6E: problem of battery and Webcam

  Hiya People,

  New on the Toshiba Forums here and stuck on a problem I have with this laptop.
  I have a Satellite P200-1EE model number: PSPB6E 0GM028EN. The election House of Uni a few days ago my refuses to laptop to turn on the laptop on and happening only when I put a Power cable in.

  I took out the battery cleaned with a can of Air and put it again and it worked but the next time I did nothing happened.
  Strange thing is that, once it is running, and I take the power wire, it works fine.

  2nd problem is the software integrated Webcam won't work for me. Sometimes, and when I restarted the laptop it works fine again.
  I tried to reinstall the driver but it gives warning that the newest is already installed on my laptop.
  Am I right in thinking that its due to the new version?

  Any help or Suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance

  > Laptop on and lights up only when I put a power cable. I took out the battery cleaned with a can of Air and put it again and it worked but the next time I did nothing happened. Strange thing is that, once it is running, and I take the power wire, it works fine.

  It is maybe something wrong with the battery of laptops of s?
  How old is your laptop? Guarantee is valid?

  As far as I know, the guarantee covers the battery for one year. Then maybe you should ask and ASP in your country for a control? Maybe the battery doesn't work as it should.

  > 2nd problem is the software integrated Webcam won't work for me. Sometimes, and when I restarted the laptop it works fine again. I tried to reinstall the driver but it gives warning that the newest is already installed on my laptop. Am I right in thinking that its due to the new version?

  I n t have a solution to deliver you but I assume that it s associated with the software/driver of webcam.
  You should visit the European driver Toshiba page from time to time and need to check if an update is available.

• Satellite P200 - BIOS did not recognize my usb 3.5 drive "

  Hello
  I have a few years ago:
  Satellite P200-1FY
  Reference: PSPB6E-0QR035FR

  I just bought a new hard drive WD20EARS (2 TB) 64 MB of RAM,
  and I connected on an external box<-> SATA USB3 (closed hot 'cc'), so plugin on my toshiba via USB (USB2.0 card)

  I partitioned the drive with 2 parts (1 part FAT32 (enabled): 930KB and 1 NTFS 1, 89 GB)

  * My problem is :*
  I am not able to detect the drive by the bios (bios updated with 2.7 "bios - 20110124131826.zip"), in order, starting with partition FAT32)

  tests I've already done :*
  (1) connect this drive (WD20EARS) on a PC: HP 6530--> result b: drive is detected by the bios, it is impossible to boot the disk
  and the operating system is started correctly

  (2) plug in sametime a usb2 startup key and the disc--> result: WD20EARS disc is displayed on the selection of the bios (sometimes)
  but it is impossible to start on it. When I select the drive, the USB is booting

  Could you help me find the problem (bios, disk or box usb3) or have you updated to solve

  Kind regards

  Stand by.
  BIOS cannot detect the external HARD drive? You want to start OS saved on the external HARD drive? Is this correct?

  Tests 1 and 2 are related to this HP laptop?

• Re: Satellite P200-123 volume control wheel

  Is it a mechanical or software driven command?

  If I turn the wheeel 'up' the volume sometimes breaks down? It doesn't seem to be a 'stop' on the wheel.

  All tips are welcome

  Thank you

  Hello

  the volume control of the Satellite P200 is a software engine, so it has no physical stop like on older machines, which means that there are some disadvantages about the time to change the flight and the reaction control.
  Don t ask me why they have implemented this software wheel-driven, but each new series of machines there and it s predictable that they will stay with this technique...

  You work quietly with the steering wheel to avoid such phenomena as spin the wheel 'up', but the volume down.
  I have the same on my Tecra S5 and it drives me crazy sometimes, but I have to live with it...

• Satellite P200 - disabling Internet special button Close button walk / stop

  I have a Satellite P200. Recently, the problem that my Internet push button itself so multiple Firefox Windows begin to appear at random intervals. Sometimes 2, sometimes it's 30. Needless to say, it's pretty boring.

  I found where I can customize the buttons and make the Internet button open a different program, but it doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off completely. If I "Unregister" the Internet button, then it goes back to the default function of opening a Web browser when it is pushed.

  Is it possible to completely disable these keys?

  Thank you!
  Jason

  Hello

  I have the same model of laptop and disabling option is not known to me. What you can try is to remove the utility of technical support of added value package button.

  In Control Panel, you will find option programs and features. Click to remove the VAP. Generally, it should ask you to change the installation and you can choose which part of this package can be deleted, if it is not completely remove the VAP.

  Download the last option in the download page of Toshiba, but when the facility starts choose custom installation and uncheck the box in front of the technical support of button utility.

  So for now I see it as the only possible solution.
