  CD-ROM: Pioneer DVD - RW DVR-K16A

  Whenever I put a cd in the rom it makes a series of strange noises, hard to explain, but this isn't really mather.

  At the end of the day, I take the cd see nothing hapends don't never no mather how long I wait.
  No error apears but it never had to read the cd.

  I tried a long list of solutions:
  Pilot Uppdate
  Reset dma tool
  Uninstall and reinstall

  Have you tried the method with the disassembly of the upper and lower of certain registry entries filters? If this is not the case, here's the quick tutorial:

  Go to Device Manager and remove the drive from the list of devices CD/DVD.
  Then start the registry (regedit) and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Have you tried if you can boot from the CD?
  If you can, try to reinstall your Windows XP and see if problem persists.

  Hello

  I assume that you have downloaded the zip package.
  Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
  Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.

  Can you do this?

• Satellite Pro A100-080: NVidia display driver's break in 3D games

  Hello

  I have some problems with the display driver since I bought the laptop 9 months ago. I tried to install each new driver published on the toshiba site but no driver is running stable on my system.

  The problem is that my laptop crashes with blue screen when playing 3d games and my windows vista tells me that it is the display driver causing accidents.

  I had the previous version of the driver installed several months ago and I think it's more stable than the current version. Unfortunately I lost the files for that one, but I prefer a functional driver for this laptop.

  My laptop
  Satellite Pro A100-080
  Modelno. PSAASE-00G004GR
  Made on 2007-02-20

  Thank you all in advance using the year

  The CD/DVD drive is not displayed in Device Manager is?

  Can anyone help please?

  Hello

  I'm not an expert so take what I say with a large pinch of salt and check again! I have a similar problem with my A100 except the works of CD tray very well but the machine will not play some DVD and won't play any CD several people have suggested that download ITunes affects your registry files and shortly after that the machine does not recognize the CD/DVD driver.

  The error message that said something like: "i/o device error".

  Have you tried to download a new driver? I have that have not yet done and came here to seek to verify this info myself.

  Anyone else heard about Itunes affecting your laptop in anyway?

• Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

  Hello

  The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

  Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

  Richard

  Hi Richard,

  I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

  I tried all the drivers on the Toshiba driver download site with no luck. I always left with a yellow question mark in Device Manager. (Satellite Pro 100) During installation, the window I have instull MICROSOFT BUS DRIVER BEFORE this r audio (Realtek HDA for XP).

  Where can I get this driver (Appreicate if someone could point me in the right direction), or can someone give me another piece of useful advice?

  Appreciate any help

  Thank you.

  I think that this is a known issue.

  Sometimes it s useful to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base. There, I found these interesting documents:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/835221
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/888111

  It is very important to install these patches before you install the driver.

• How to change the module RAM in Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE)?

  Hey,.

  I just bought a RAM module to fit in my currently empty home of RAM, but I never installed any portable computer memort before that. I checked a few guides, but none seem to show the kind of clips that have the Pro A100.

  Could someone help me please by pointing me in the direction of a specific guide or taking their time to explain the process.

  Thank you in advance.
  Jason

  On the side at the bottom in the middle is placed the memory cover. Remove it and you'll see two memory slots there. I assume that your device comes with the memory module and new you must put in the empty socket and just press it. Two metal brackets will fix it in the right position.

  That's all you need to do. By the way: before you start doing anything, I recommend you disconnect AC power and also to remove battery.

  You should know that many new audio s CDs come with copy protections of different and sometimes it happens that these CD s are not readable.

  But we must first know if need all options are enable. To do this you must enter the properties of the drive and check if the option enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device has been activated successfully.

• Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install the ATI display driver

  Hi all

  I experienced a series of problems with my card graph Mobility Radeon X 1400 that I'm sure that can be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. What I have to do on the Toshiba site like the ATI site offers no support for it. But I've known several problems to download the file archive.

I noticed that the file downloaded (and useless) is smaller (by more than 50%) than the expected size - I don't know if this helps all the...

  Preemptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

  Hello

  What to say I noticed that drivers download server is very slow. Resembles overload eventually all packages have not passed correctly and so this error message is displayed.
  I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I tried to download the other driver and performance is really slow, but I put t see any other solution than to try to re-download the graphic driver package

  Good luck buddy

• Get Bluesceen on Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE)

  Hi all

  I have big problems with my laptop. He started 2 months when I finally had free wireless internet. On using it, I kept getting the BSOD and thought it was a problem with my RAM. After some trial and error results achieved, it wasn't my ram still getting BSOD. I disabled wireless and used for some time, then again BSOD and startup problems. I thought that maybe a virus, so I ended up formatting my drive (as he needed anyway), but still get BSOD with error code:

  DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

  0x000000D1 (0x0000c79B, 0 x 0, 00000002 00000000, 0xF70CA16E)

  I checked on the net but no resolution. I'm about to re - install all drivers, but I think it is definitely a hardware problem because I noticed when I move around it fails always start the first time. I am running XP PRO and Bitdefender Total Security 2008. I have 2x512mb ram what do not the same but both the same specification. Any ideas anyone?

  Hi friend

  I agree, it is definitely a hardware problem. I had a Satellite A100 (PSAAE) and the BSOD appeared too. After sending the machine to a repair center and 1 week of waiting, the error never appeared again.

  Is the machine still in warranty? If so, then send it immediately to an ASP, otherwise, I'm selling the machine and buy a new one.

• Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE) - do not display

  Hi all

  You have a problem that has confused me.

  A few weeks ago my very old a100 Sat Pro (PSAACE) began to refuse to display anything on the screen.

  It comes to boot, that is, I press the power button on the cold, the system of vortices and fan will both nothing appears on the screen.

  I left the cell only and noticed she appeared on my network, so I have remote desktop connected to and everything worked, but still no display on the laptop actually.

  Thinking that perhaps it would be a weird configuration that I started by pressing Fn + F5 to switch between views, at this point, I managed to get a display on the laptop screen.

  But at the next startup, it does the same thing, that lasted a few days with me by pressing Fn + F5 to get a display.

  Then the Fn + F5 has stopped working, I was still able to remote desktop and use the laptop but I couldn't get anything to display.

  In windows, the ATI Mobility 1400 had disappeared from the Device Manager.

  I thought that the controller VGA card had blown to order it a new.

  I mounted this now, and it has not solved the problem. The Fn + F5, workaround works sometimes, but give a very weird-like display corrupt fonts etc.

  * However if I do a screenshot it and the screen on another PC and fonts appear normal. *

  The 1400 mobility is now recognized by Windows, but still nothing on the screen at during the POST, boot, or Windows.

  Fearing corruption BIOS I re flashed with the official BIOS 6.00.

  All in all the machine works fine, just no display or by pressing Fn + F5 I can sometimes get the corrupted + with screen.

  Finally, I hung on an external monitor, at no time do get any screen top regardless of the Fn + F5 or windows, POST etc...

  Any thoughts? A defective cable of LCD/FL would cause this type of problem? or even a faulty inverter Board? or because I don't have any external display I'm looking for a failure of the main card?

  Happy to make all new test someone can think...

  Thanks in advanced for the help

  Richard

  > Any ideas? A defective cable of LCD/FL would cause this type of problem? or even a faulty inverter Board? or since > I have no external display I am looking at a motherboard failure?

  I understand you; you don t get anything on an external monitor?
  Hmm, in my opinion it FL s inverter not given that the FL inverter controlled only a screen backlight
  So even if the FL inverter would be defective, you'd see something on the external monitor, but very weakly.

  Cable LCD/FL problem? Perhaps, but if the cable is defective you wouldn't see anything, even using Fn + F5 key combination.
  So finally, it could be a motherboard problem. But just a guess
