Satellite Pro L300 series-player Dvd slow running and jumping

Hello

Having really annoying problems with the DVD player on my laptop. I watched a DVD long enough last night on this matter (about 5 hours!) and it was fine. Now today when I came to watch something else on this subject, it is slow really. It took about 10 minutes to start, and I continued to hear 3 beeps followed by slightly stronger than his usual purr! I just got to work, but now it keeps crashing the scenes and then crashed altogether. When he does not play, it is very bad as the audio works well, but the scenes are jumping around!

Anyone have any ideas as to whats wrong here? Is - fixable? I only bought the laptop 2 months ago so enough that annoyed that something has gone wrong already!

Michelle

Hello

This happens when you restart your laptop?
This happens if you watch movies (original DVD movies) DVD only or if you look at another video file?

Is this behavior for some certain movie or this problem occurs with all DVD movies?

You know, it's not easy to say something concrete about it. It is important to see how it works and exactly what is happening. Try to do some tests with different audio/video media and display the results.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

    I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
    He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

    I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

    but the laptop is really really slow.
    It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

    the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

    but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

    I have trie all to my knowledge.
    I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

    I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

    He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

    My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

    can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

    > anyone can confirm this?
    Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
    Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

    First laptop computer is an oldie.
    The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

    I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

    However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

  • Satellite Pro A200 series - CD/DVD-rw does not work

    I've had the laptop for a few months and it's great but now I try to add documents and music on CD or DVD and it will not write. The machine can play DVD +/-R/RW and CD.

    I have tried both DVD + RW is simply not found and the CD - RW try to write, but then the operation cannot have place towards the end of the process it says it cannot be completed.

    Any advice?
    Drives running on my desktop drives are very good.

    Hi Rebecca

    In most cases, these CD/DVD burning issues are related to mediums is not compatible.
    You should know that not all of the CDs or DVDs of different manufacturers are compatible and supported
    I would recommend so test different CD and DVD.

    What burning software do you use?
    I use the program Nero Burning Rom. It of great and supports many useful features. This software tested the CD/DVD drive and controls and sets the best burning speed.
    Sometimes it s useful to run these tests to ensure the best combustion parameters.

    But you question might be linked to the failure of hardware too.
    Sometimes the reader cannot process a CD or a DVD because the lens can not calibrate correctly. In this case, the disk must be replaced :(

    So finally I recommend that you check the different CD & DVD, and if the problem persists, contact the ASP in your country for a control.

    Bye and good luck

    Can anyone help?

    What model of laptop do you have exactly?

  • Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A - 02L 001) - remove Vista and install Windows XP

    I'm waiting for delivery of a L300. I also bought XP I want to install XP as soon as I get the L300. The laptop comes with Vista installed which I never liked.

    I intended to create a Vista recovery disc just to make sure before you start the conversion.
    I was going to do the installation of XP reformat the disk and partition of the HD.
    I was also going to download all of the drivers XP for my model on the Toshiba site, the installation then the XP installation had finished.

    Is there anything I should be aware of, or have missed?

    Hello!

    I think you are right but before doing something I will give you a few words of advice:

    Before you do something on your laptop or begin to install Windows XP, you must create the Toshiba in Windows Vista recovery disk. I know that you n t like Vista but with these discs every time you can restore your laptop factory settings. Independent that you have installed on your laptop. You must start only to drive recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. The factory settings will be restored in a few minutes and you should not install additional drivers. The disc already contains all the drivers and tools of Toshiba and so you can save a lot of time! Also if you have problems with your laptop you can test with the settings to determine if it s a software or hardware problem. As you can see it of very useful and easy the recovery disc.

    According to installing XP you need a disc of Microsoft. You must format the HARD drive and you can then create the partitions you want. In your case, I'd a partition for the system and one for your data. The point is that if you need to reinstall Windows XP at a certain point you should not back up the data first because they are already stored on the second partition and to reinstall Windows XP, you need to format only the first partition. Of course, you can do what you want, but then I install Windows on my notebooks.

    Finally and above all drivers that you find on the Australian site of Toshiba, that of right. I think that it shouldn't be a problem to install it so just download all the and the tools of Toshiba. After that, the XP installation is complete and you can do what you want.
    In addition, if you have installed all the drivers and tools for XP you can make an image of your installation. For example with Acronis True Image. Therefore, you can restore your installation of XP every time and I think it can help you save time. I have good experiences with Acronis and I do a picture of my too custom installations.

    I hope this was helpful for you and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
    Have fun with your new notebook from Toshiba! :)

    Good bye

  • 8 issues of the new owner of the Satellite Pro L300

    Hello to all forum users!

    I bought a new Toshiba, the Satellite Pro L300 laptop and have until January 14 to test - if it looks like it is not working properly I will return it to the store where I bought it.

    Here is a list of questions I have:

    1. whenever I turn on the laptop or it is suspension or hibernation mode, and when I disable it, the cd/dvd drive makes a clumsy mechanical noise.

    It seems to me like the cart that transports the laser and optics is running in a mechanical stop.

    Is this normal?

    2. There is a hot sub-pixel on the screen (in blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and does not return.

    Should I worry about this?

    3. when I run the test memory at the start of the system, she says she'll start windows automatically at the end of the trial and show me the results of the test.

    It performs the test, Vista boot, but I see no reports of results.

    Where can I find the report?
    Is there a known issue with this test?

    4. the service program Toshiba to perform diagnostics of slot Vista does not work. Whenever I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get an error message Vista saying a defect was found in the KERNEL32.dll module.

    Where can I get a fix for this?
    I have already installed the updated files on the Toshiba web site for the "Value Pack", which is where this utility, but still not the error message.

    5. I want access the settings of the bios at startup, but have not found a way to do it again.
    F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal boot system.
    ESC is not me in bios Setup either.
    There is a utility for bios Toshiba that I can run Vista, and I see that any upgrade bios firmware should also be done through Vista.

    Is there a way to access bios at startup?

    6. I would like to run XP on this system and realized that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) is compatible XP, and I should be able to download all the drivers from Toshiba to run under XP.

    Does anyone do this?

    7. the laptop and configured Vista Basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for "Vista OEMAct Business." I was captivated by this laptop as the option to revert to XP Pro with Vista business. The box did not come with any CD or DVD and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.

    This is reason enough to return the laptop in the store where I bought it, which is a chore, I prefer to avoid if I can install Vista Business.

    Can someone help me understand what is happening here?

    8. is there a way to contact technical support by e-mail?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer all of these questions!

    Hello

    Two weeks ago, I worked several days on friends Satellite Pro L300. Your questions are interesting and I will try to provide an answer or comment.

    1 this is normal behavior. I noticed it on other models of computer laptop too. Right now I use Satellite P200D and I noticed the same thing.

    2. of course, you may have noticed a dead on the screen pixel and more on what you can read on
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ8702EI0000R01.htm

    3. maybe follow links can help a better understanding:
    http://web1.Toshiba.ca/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001369.htm
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial146.html

    4. what to say about this? I t has not noticed this error and I can recommend just reinstall full VAP. Remove preinstalled system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

    5. When you start the laptop downstairs you can find info how to enter the BIOS settings. It usually takes F2. I really don't understand what is wrong in your case, but must work F2. Press immediately after turning on your laptop. Press several times. You have to work

    6. If you can find the download page of drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba Windows XP Home edition, you should be able to install and configure Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop. For the installation of Windows XP edition family please use Windows XP SP2 home edition.

    7. This must be clarified with your local dealer. The fact is that Toshiba doesn t offer any CD/DVD and recovery DVDs must be created by the owner of the laptop. I presume that you didn t seen or read Toshiba reminder about it. This point explains exactly what needs to be done.
    The recovery media can be created using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator. The shortcut is placed on the desktop.

    8. I'm afraid, you must contact the hotline, but as far as I know Toshiba's toll-free hotline.
    Call and ask if there is something you want to know.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L300 29V - hard drive is dead

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-29V only about 2 months, and suddenly the hard drive (very full) is apparently dead.

    Initially the laptop starts Windows correctly, but now the HD is not yet recognized in the BIOS. If it goes beyond the Toshiba splash screen, I get the thing PXE saying "a cable is unplugged. I tried to re-allocation of places the reader twice, but still nothing.

    It's really disturbing, because I had transferred recently practically my whole LIFE on it on other computers which many many many hours of musical recordings that I can't really afford to lose.

    I think I'll have to buy a HD dock and see if I can read and copy the data.

    Does anyone else have this problem? It is likely that the drive could have been erased?

    I should also mention that a day or two before this happened, my girlfriend was using etc. Open Mobile (Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word,) - computer I pressed the power button that normally makes hibernate - and when I turned it back, rather than resume where he left off, the computer started from zero and no work/windows were saved.

    I'm afraid that might be some stupid day, Avira, or on the Windows updates without end that has damaged something...

    EDIT: OK, I have a picture of the error I received before complete failure, but I can't download it here. Here is the text (on a blue screen):

    -----
    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    If it is a new installation, ask your hardware manufacturer or software, the windows updates, you might need.

    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use safe Mote to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Hi mate,

    First of all, I must say that I have this Satellite L300 too. But I didn t have no problem, the HARD drive works fine for 1.5 years and I use this laptop for Internet and emails everyday. I m very satisfied.

    However, what do you hear now?

    I hope that you can copy your data to another device and you will need a new HARD drive for your Satellite Pro L300. That's fact!
    In addition, there are a few good programs that they can the recovery of data from faulty hard drives. Just search with Google, you will find some interesting links.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L300 Windows 7 Upgrade - DVD player no longer works

    I have use a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade disk that could be my problem. I used the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and Windows 7 Ultimate disc.

    I tried to download and install the latest Windows 7 32 bit DVD Toshiba drivers but still no joy.

    Can someone advise procedure I should follow to correct, if I need to downgrade back to Vista, hope not!

  • Satellite Pro L300 - XP runs slowly

    Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E - Windows XP
    Works slow intermittently, but shows inactive in the Task Manager. Disable anti virus etc, but always slowly works intermittently.

    Can anyone offer advice please?

    Hey mate,

    First I must say that it is really hard to say why your laptop is running slowly. There are several reasons for this problem, but it would be interesting to know if you have installed the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba or did you install XP yourself using a disc of Microsoft? In this case, you should try this again with the Toshiba recovery disc. It contains a picture of the factory settings and so, your laptop should work correctly.

    In addition, I would recommend to defragment the HARD disk, disable some services and startup programs that you don't need and you try a good antivirus like AntiVir. After that, clean you the registry with CCleaner.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L300 - where to get the recovery DVDs

    Hello

    Can someone help me please.

    My satellite pro L300 laptop has crashed I have repaired.
    Unfortunately, I have no operating system such as Windows Vista recovery disk.

    I can't find how to get these discs on Toshibe website or to be honest, that these disks are correctly as.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Hello

    The laptop supports recovery of HARD drive option. This means that you can reinstall the image of Toshiba without using the recovery DVD. You must boot up the laptop and press the F8 key. The advanced boot menu is displayed and there you choose the first option to fix my computer. Then choose recovery Toshiba (last option) and start the installation.

    After this installation, you can use the Toshiba pre-installed called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator to create an own recovery DVDs software of engraving

    But if you have formatted the HARD drive, the repair option won't work because the recovery folder has also been removed. In this case, you will not be abele to create clean restore DVD.

    But you can order it here:
