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.

Is it possible to copy the DVD (film) on my hard drive and watch it then?
There must be a way!

Any information would be great, thanks.
See you soon,.

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 A105-S2101 - can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

    I have this laptop Satellite A105-S2101, and the LCD breathed on me in two years.

    Fortunately, I can still use the VGA and S-video output but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, no longer is I can watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it will not accept VGA or S-video as default is just my broken - up, good for nothing always blurry LCD anyway.
    It's only when I'm in Windows mode can I switch to an external monitor.

    The reason I'm writing is, if it is necessary to add anything to an EMP update - this is the time and it would be something to add. What the devil?

    Have you tried another player?
    I prefer the VLC media player. He plays the most video and audio files, it s freeware and easy to use. Check it!

    Have you changed something on your hardware or software configuration before this happened?
    Maybe it's time to reinstall the drive Media Express

  • Satellite Pro A300D: Can I old DVD player to downgrade firmware

    Is it possible to recover the old firmware (1.50 worm) or newer for DVRTD08A drive?

    Unfortunately, I flashed this drive with the wrong firmware version 1.54 to DVRTD08L with label flash function.

    My drive does not have this feature. This firmware will not affect the player functionality?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you can download only the updates of the firmware which are available on the European driver Toshiba page.
    If your favorite firmware update is available, then you would be able to downgrade it.
    Is there no firmware then you can not change this :(

    > Will this feature of player firmware affect?
    It's not easy to tell in many cases, you can still use the CD/DVD drive and will not see any changes, but sometimes this incorrect firmware can damage the disc and make it unusable.

  • Satellite Pro M40: Files on DVD/CD not visible

    If data are burned to DVD or CD (+ R or + RW completed another manufacturer) then inserted in my Satellite Pro M40 PC he can see folder names but he cannot see all the files in the folder. When you click on the files, he says they are empty!

    When the same disks are inserted on other devices (on DVD players connected to a TV), records show the files and files open without problem.

    Sometimes the same disc when inserted in the pc, can be detected as drive is invalid

    Audio and video disks are no problem and open immediately.

    I am at a loss because even if I backed up all my data I can't re - insert the data if I lose it.

    Hello

    There are different reasons why you CD/DVD drive doesn t manage burned CDs.
    First all CD or DVD is compatible.
    I had a lot of problems with my mediums sometimes burned the disc was able to read, sometimes, it was not possible.

    I changed the burn at a lower speed, and which has slightly improved the situation. I also changed burning software.
    Now I use the Nero burning Rom software. It s really good program.

    But the main reason for these problems is the anomaly of lens laser discs. After a long period of work of the lens cannot calibrate properly and therefore can't handle the media inserted in this case only a replacement drive helps.

  • Hello. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?

    Hello.. How can I watch DVD movies on my new iMac?

    You need to buy an external DVD drive. Apple made one, or you can buy a third-party DVD player.  Amazon has many others and OWC (www.macsales.com) have too many choices.

    iMacs have not included DVD players with them for the years also remember, you can only watch regular DVDs. If the movies are Blue Ray, OS X will not support, in other words Blue Ray is not visible unless you buy a Blue Ray software.

  • Need advice on the Satellite Pro M40

    I wonder if someone could advise me. We just bought 8 smart tips for our school with these I ordered 8 portable computers SatProM40. When I ordered them I checked the spec as follows

    Toshiba SatProM40 - Celeron M360 1.4 GHz - RAM 256 MB - HD 40 GB-CD RW/DVD-ROM combo - Mdm - Lan EN - FAST EN - Win XP Pro - 15.4 "TFT.

    I checked before I ordered that the RAM was 256 because I had heard that it is the minimum recommended to switch to XP.

    Laptops take almost 5 minutes to turn on and everything takes an age to work it's really frustrating and they are totally useless for our school because the entire lesson is included with get the computers to run anything.

    I checked the system information and found laptops were running of 192 MB RAM and rang the provider. I was told that they used 64 MB for the graphics card and that's why they had provided a RAM of 256 MB computer.

    My question to someone who can help:-c' is a normal practice. If I had known this I would have ordered a laptop computer with more RAM to compensate.

    He would welcome any advice that would help us get our children working on their new computers. Thank you.

    Hi Lisa

    In my view, Satellite Pro M40 is nice unit for school work, but I agree with you really is 256 MB minimum RAM and I recommend you buy more 256 MB or 512 MB, depending on your budget.

    The compatible RAM modules are:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 2M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 2M 51)

    Problem is that this device uses shared memory and that means that RAM will be used also for graphic designers. If there is someone who has a good knowledge of PC that they check all running processes. Many of them are unnecessary and can be disabled. I also noticed that preinstalled Antivir asks (Norton) slow OS quickly. If all units are not connected to the internet I recommend you to remove it.
    By the way: there are many applications of good antivir which works well and don't slow down the operating system currently running.

    Good luck!

  • Restoration of my Satellite Pro M40 to factory settings

    I recently got a laptop Satellite Pro M40 and it suffers from an infection. Before installing Norton I want to restore to as if it were new. I put t need no data on this at all and I don t have all the disks that have initially come with it.

    Can someone please?

    If you want to have the factory again settings you need original recovery installation CD/DVD. Otherwise, you can do clean install of OS using the facilities of Microsoft CD.

    For the first option, you need to order original recovery media by service provider authorized in your country. The second option install the Microsoft OS installations CD.

  • Satellite Pro M40 RAM fit laptop model L650?

    Hello

    I recently upgraded from my Satellite Pro M40 to a L650 because the M40 is dead.
    I was wondering if I could use the ram that I put in, in the L650?

    I'm guessing it will not, but thought I'd ask just in case.

    Thank you

    Sorry, but I don t know why this combination. Max RAM on M40 is 2x1GB and I think you're in L650 2x2gb. Right?

    It makes no sense to me.
    I put t know what L650 you have exactly, but some models can be upgraded up to 8 GB, so it will be better for you to upgrade with a 4 GB of RAM L650. Part number is PA3677U-1M4G.

    By the way: there are different bus clock etc new notebook you should only use modules compatible and faster.

  • Satellite Pro M40: screen remains dark until Windows has fully loaded

    Hello to all here.
    I have a problem with my laptop. My laptop is a Satellite Pro M40.

    When I turn on my laptop, I found the backlight won't come... the screen will stay dark until it has fully loaded into Windows. I've checked all my food, and there all fine options. Even if I can get the Bios screen its impossible to read the txt because without backlight. I tried to hold the Fn & F7... joy of Noy.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Richard

    Hello Richard

    I didn't see anything like that before and I'm a bit confused why you can't see the BIOS settings, but running the OS. Use of the FN + F7 key combination won't help because this option only works on Windows and not on the level of the BACK.

    If possible try to plug the external monitor and test again. In any case I put t think you can fix it yourself. Try please contact Toshiba authorized partner in your country. Explain the situation and see what they say.

    If you discover that something please let us know. It will be really interesting to know why this happen.
