• Satellite Pro M40: Can't watch DVD-> DVD region code locked

  Hello

  I know this has been asked before, but there must be a solution...

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M40 with a CARPET * a DVD UJ - 841S drive. I used my 5 times to change regions, and now I'm stuck on NTSC. I read on this forum (and others) that it is simply not possible to unlock the region once the 5 times have exhausted.

  Any information would be great, thanks.

  Hello

  As mentioned it of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
  Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
  But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!
  You may damage the disc and then you can not read or burn CD or DVD media!

  I put t know if it is possible to copy the DVD to the HDD in a simple way. I never did.
  But it of possible to reduce the DVD to the smaller size, then copy it to the HARD drive.
  For this procedure, I used DVD shrink. You can check.

• Satellite Pro A100 IO error - CD/DVD player-

  Hi all

  My car does not start or read, all I get is an error of e/s.
  She produced just out of the blue and after trying to fix it on my own I had to turn to my local computer dealer, but all he told me was to send my laptop in to Toshiba for a renovation, impossible to determine themselves what the problem was.

  I saw on the net that the carpet * a player installed on this laptop isn't the most reliable on the market, with similar errors a bit, but unfortunately, there is not too much advice on how to correct this problem.

  Is there anyone out there with a few aces up their sleeve, or the best thing just to get a new laptop?

  > fix it on my own
  As I see that you are trying to fix it yourself and nobody don't we know what you did exactly.
  I still don't know what you want to correct. Either player is working or not and that there must be a reason for it. This reason is known to you?

  In any case, the assignment of pins is not the same for all readers, and if you use some with the wrong pin assignment you will get this error. So, if you want to fix this alternative to find and swap the drive with a compatible. Nobody says you have to use the same model.

  In s manuals you can find a list with all compatible readers for your laptop model.
  Check it out.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

  Hello

  I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

  Thanks for any info that someone has!

  Willybob

  Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
  On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

  If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!

• Satellite Pro A300D - where can I get driver ceiling microphone?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D. I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista, but lost my Toshiba built in software while doing so. I can access my webcam via applications such as Skype, but my microphone no longer works.

  Where can I find the driver for the webcam/microphone software that I had before the upgrade?

  Hi PyroTails,

  The built-in mic is part of the webcam, which means that you need to download the driver for the webcam that you can get here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  After installation, it should be possible to use the internal mic. :)

This laptop model is also supported for WXP but of course the drivers and utilities and additional tools do not offer in so many different settings as a software designed for Vista.

  I have the Satellite A300 - 1LI running WXP and the sound is OK. The key is that the sound is strong. ;)

• Satellite Pro A300D - what is the model number for the keyboard?

  My husband managed to dislodge a key on my keyboard CAP and broke the clip white scissors that holds up on... (don't ask me how)

  He spoke of the authorized service center here in Norway and they sent us replacement scissors tongs (actually they sent an old non-functional keyboard), but the clips are of a different design to those on my laptop.

  I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the model/serial number of the keyboard used in the Satellite Pro A300D-151 (PSAK9E) so I can get the correct replacement part.

  I really don't want to have to replace the entire keyboard when it's just 1 scissor clips which is broken... the laptop is only 5 months old.

  Here are some pictures of the scissors clamp in question and where it attaches to the keyboard (sorry for quality)

  notsure

  Hello

  Boyfriend sorry but it is not possible to exchange a few individual keys on a keyboard, so in this case, you must replace the full keyboard. But normally, it shouldn't be so difficult.
  Either you exchange the keyboard yourself or you sent the laptop to the authorized service provider.

  The model number for the keyboard is not known to me but contact your ASP! They can order all the parts of Toshiba and they should know the right part number.

• Satellite Pro A300D - reinstalled XP - now its does not work

  Recently, I had a virus on my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A300D-14O, which meant that I had to take it to get reinstalled Windows.

  However, now, the sound does not seem to work properly.
  The volume on the laptop wheel itself does nothing.
  I tried to open Control Panel to check the sounds and audio devices, but I could not change anything in the boxes.

  I tried to download a driver from toshiba Web site was updated, but I thought that it could not find the device driver support.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  You must install the Win XP SP3!
  This package must be installed BEFORE installing the audio driver.

  Install SP3
  Then remove the audio driver (already installed) system
  Go to Device Manager and remove the sound chip of the list of devices
  Restart the device
  Now reinstall the sound card driver.

  Should work as it worked in my case as well

• Satellite Pro A300D - driver for multimedia audio controller

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro A300D and someday the built in mic, built into the camera and the speakers stopped working.

  When I checked the Device Manager, I saw that the driver for the multimedia controller wasn't working so I uninstalled and went on the toshiba site for the installation of the new driver.
  When I watched the drivers to my computer, they have everything except this driver!

  Is there anyone who knows were I can find it?
  I use the computer to work with the music and I'll record some people soon and I really need to work!

  Best regards

  Hermann

  Hi Hemmi,

  Interesting to know is which operating system you have.
  Can you post this information?

  Generally, all the drivers are placed on the Toshiba driver download page. There is an audio driver for normal output audio (speakers) and the webcam software. The latter you must also for micro because it s a part of webcam.

• Satellite Pro A300D-140 - graphic question

  Hi all

  I wonder if someone can help me. I'm having a lot of problems with my new laptop at the moment, and I'm now about to re - format and reinstall Windows.
  The question is this: when you browse the Web site with pictures or embedded videos, display struggles to scroll to the bottom and is very 'jerky' and slow. This happens in two & Firefox Internet Explorer.
  Its not just web browsers that have the problem, Word, Excel etc. all I have this problem. I produce a lot of documents and sometimes necessary, scroll through them - and performance when you scroll is a joke!

  I contacted ATI and they have washed their hands of this issue and refuse to do something.
  I tried the latest drivers, the drivers supplied with the laptop, restored to the latest drivers, made an update of the BIOS, chipset update firmware, update driver processor etc... and nothing has worked! Have really no idea on how to move forward from this.

  Any ideas / suggestions would be greatly appreciated - or if someone needs additional information, I'll check this thread.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3

  Thank you
  Dan Smith

  I don't know if my advice can help, but you have the problem with the operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

  You tried the latest drivers from Toshiba Web site or other sites?

  As far as I know that the Satellite Pro A300D has Vista as an operating system. If you need to reinstall the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc. There are all pilots understand.
