Satellite P30-133 CD/DVD not recognized in Win XP

A few months ago that the CD/DVD drive disappeared from windows XP home SP2
It is visible in the list of the BIOS boot, but I'm not sure if it turns elsewhere in the bios.

The BIOS also seems to be ad slowly started upward. I have reset the BIOS to default settings and the player was available for long enough to reinstall windows. Resttting the deafault BIOS does not work every time. Everything is now on the machine is a new installation of windows and the drive is not visible. Light on the DVD/CD drive flashes on startup every time, but it will not read a bootable disc.

The disc was found in another machine and works fine. What is a BIOS problem or a motherboard problem.
I am reluctant to spend huge sums of money on this laptop, as he already had a new motherboard a couple of years.

Any help or advice appreciated.
This isn't a problem that will be solved by the registry hack 'filter '.

Have you tried a BIOS update?

You reinstall Windows using the recovery disk? Or have you installed Street copy of XP?

Try to boot from a Bootable CD, if it does not, then the motherboard may be faulty, or the drive has intermittent problems.

  • Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E: Touchpad not recognized using Win XP SP2

    Hi all

    I just got a Satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E, which is preloaded with Vista. It is also comes with a 'product' XP SP2 recovery CD I had to use because of some software work with Vista compatibility issues.

    Unfortunately, everything works well except the Touchpad, which is not recognized by XP at all (without entries, error or not, in the Device Manager).
    The "Recovery" of XP CD installed the drivers of the Alps and the Toshiba Touchpad utility (for turning on and outside), so it seems that it is supposed to work.

    It is activated in the BIOS (which I have also flashed to the latest version, just in case) and is enabled in the software. I also rebuilt the laptop using the "Recovery" CD (the touchpad is not also recognized by starting on the CD "Recovery" which I guess uses WinPE).

    It does not work on Vista, so it shouldn't be a hardware problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy

    Well in your case I would recommend going to the Device Manager and remove the touchpad in the list of devices.

    Then visit the European driver Toshiba page, choose your model of laptop, Win XP OS and download the driver for the Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad.

    Install both drivers, reboot the laptop and check if your touchpad will work correctly.

    Good luck

    Hi Mark

    As you know the burning speed depends mainly on blank media.
    As far as I know silent acoustics is very useful when, for example, listening to CDs of music on your device and in this case the DVD player will drop the speed to market and you can listen to music without the noise of road.

  • Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

    Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
    I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

    I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

    This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

    It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
    Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?

  • Satellite P30 133 blocks due to overheating

    I have a P30-133 which overheats and crashes regularly. It will not work on a flat surface, it must be away from any surface to give fans a chance to cool enough. Is this a known issue with the P30-133 and, if so, is it possible to solve?

    I also notice that my battery not upward. These problems could be related?

    Hello

    I don't want to speculate on known issues, but what I know is that Satellite P30 is very old model of laptop. It takes about 6 years. If your laptop has never been cleaned, I imagine that the cooling system is full of dust.

    I phone 4 years old and I already cleaned 2 times. You can't imagine how many dust I found inside.
    I can imagine, is that, after so long time, the small rubber feet down are slim now and there is not enough space between you laptop and the desktop. What I do is to rehabilitate the part of the laptop to two boxes of music CD and then there is more space and portable can be cooled a lot better.

    Think about these two things. Maybe it will help you.

  • Satellite Click Mini L9W - keyboard not recognized B

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Tablet PC Satellite click Mini L9W - B. The keyboard is not recognized on this subject.

    I tried to clean the connector, restart the Tablet several times, tried to load with or whitout the keyboard, but nothing works!
    I do not think that the problem is with the battery, as I've seen on other topics as the tablet doesn't detect even the keyboard when I plug. The Tablet does not detect the keyboard battery.

    So, if you can give me advice or assistance to solve my problem, I would appreciate :-)

    He has no communication with the keyboard at all? (No battery detected, the touch pad and the keyboard does not?) There must be a link related question, I guess. If it was a driver related issue, then the battery would at least get detected)

    If you want to void your warranty, you can open the Tablet and keyboard dock and check that the Ribbon connectors or / and remove and replace the Ribbon connectors connectors in

  • Satellite P30: Energy saving does not work correctly

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I have problems with my energy saving mode. When I use it for games and other applications of high power, it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and stops.

    Is it for the last month or two. Before that, it was absolutelly no problem. I checked the file TPSTrace and got this error message:
    A fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x0 rental: MainFrm.cpp (1317)

    I do not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

    Hi Thomas

    It is not easy to give you an accurate diagnosis, but in my opinion your laptop isn't hot because of the energy savings. Satellite P30 is pretty old laptop and maybe you should clean your laptop.

    Have you done this before?

    This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove the preinstalled energy saver and after restarting try installing it again.

    Just FYI: Watch tool is very useful, but certainly not so important and your system can function very well without it. Because of this, I presume that portable hot is because of dust inside. With more CPU and activity hardware graphics card will be hot and must be cooled properly. If the cooling rack does not clean this cannot happen. Initially, notebook will be hot, but one day she is probably turned off without any warning.

    In the first trial step to clean your laptop and remove all the dust under cooling grill.

  • Can satellite P30-133 - I use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro?

    Hello

    Is it safe to use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro model P30-133? There is some question in aluminium.
    I'm not sure of the cooler which is set up as a standard in this model. Aluminium coolers are not suitable.

    Hello!

    I doubt that ASP uses the cheapest stuff on the market. I think they use the same thermal grease like Toshiba and it is pretested. I never had problems with the cooling on my Toshiba laptop. The fan only works if the CPU is in use, but that's normal, because otherwise the laptop is overheating.

    Anyway, Coollaboratory Liquid Pro is theoretically 9 times better as other thermal grease, but in practice, it of only up to 5 ° C better. In addition it can t be used on aluminum coolers.
    The Arctic Cooling MX2 and it's a little better than the Arctic Silver 5. In addition it of cheaper and easier to use and remove. I also use it.
    Check it! You will be surprised of the Arctic Cooling MX2.
