• Satellite Pro 6100-> DVD playback is OK, but can not read CD

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 and the reader of CD/DVD SD-C2502 on winxp sp2.
  The drive did not read any CD/DVD at the outset.
  After a DVD lens cleaner, it plays DVDs, but the Player cannot read any CD incl. music CD

  The error is 'windows cannot read the disk. The disc is damaged or... ".

  I "took off the CD/DVD drive and reconnected" and the pilot also seems to be OK.

  Any suggestions or ideas?

  Hello

  This sound like a player cannot calibrate properly and that's why the drive cannot read the CD disks.
  Especially the replacement drive is necessary and inevitable. :(

• Satellite Pro M50 DVD/CD drive keeps opening on its own

  Hello.. Basically, the subject says it all. My M50 is in very good condition, never dropped or left in the Sun, etc. and he started ejecting the disc at random points. Don't think its Malware or a virus - sometimes it will go without what happens for a few days, sometimes it'll keep popping open all the time.

  Ideas - I'm not terribly keen to open it!

  It's certainly a hardware related problem and I suggest you to exchange this drive since it s a very unusual problem cannot be solved by a software.

  I suggest you to send your machine to an ASP.

• Re: Satellite A300-211 DVD playback issue

  Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with DVD-ROM. A few times, after I inserted a dvd into the status bar, the system crashes, but it's a freak accident. DVD ROM stopped turning (flashes) and the * HDD Led * is constant on and I can't access bar tasks or the Task Manager. However, I can navigate the menus etc via the start menu.

  For example, what happens on my Vista Ultimate DVD from the insertion in the Windows environment. If I want to boot from it, it works like a charm. The same thing happened with Crysis. I mention these two DVDs, because they are perfectly no scratches and their quality is proven for me. How can I check if the HARD drive or DVD are in good condition. I have my computer laptop 48 hours now and I want a full replacement if something is wrong!

  Thank you in advance!

  It's really hard to say what the reason for this. Sorry, but I don t know him.

  To determine if it s assign you a hardware or software should install the laptop using Toshiba recovery disc. It already contains all the drivers and tools for your laptop and so you can restore the factory settings.
  Have you tried that?

• Satellite Pro M50: 896 MB of RAM available instead of 1536 MB

  I recently bought a 1 GB RAM module for my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M50. The laptop has already had a 512 MB card installed. I used the scanner memory from crucial.com to ensure what I bought compatible memory.

  I installed the 1 GB module, and now all of my system will show is that I have 896 MB of RAM available. It is of course the module 1024Mo less 128 MB for the execution of the shared video card. My BIOS shows also only 896 MB of available RAM, but if I run a program of analysis such as CPU - Z it shows 2 modules of RAM installed with a total of 1536 MB of RAM available.

  I tried the two RAM modules individually in both slots and the two modules together in both slots. Both work individually and both work in two locations in memory, but combined the module of 512 MB is not displayed. 1 024 MB module seems to be fine. I am running Win XP SP2.

  Do you have any ideas I can do to fix this?

  A second question, I used to play DVDs on my laptop, but recently, when I try, the sound crackles & pop & the DVD skips a little every two seconds... any ideas?

  See you soon!

  Hello

  I found similar issues here in this forum and especially he was bound for the bar of memory is not compatible.

  According to the information on the Toshiba Web page module the 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G) is supported and can be used.

  I put t know what the manufacture of your new memory is, but I wouldn't recommend mix parts. Try to use both modules of the same provider and use both with exactly the same specifications.

  Hope this helps a little

  Good day...

• Satellite Pro M50 - upgrade RAM does not fit

  Hi, I'm looking to upgrade the ram in a Satellite Pro M50, I bought a stick of crucial but although he mounted in the slot (and was regarded as the correct product) machine didn't post with it, I bought another stick (different brand) and installed this but get the same problem. Looking at it, I noticed that the notch in the existing stick of 256 MB is a bit (a few mm) out against the new stick and of course although they fit into the slot, the actual pins on the stick won't line up properly.

  Is this a known issue? Do I have to buy a specific brand of RAM in order to modernize the system? Crucial guarantee their RAM to work, very unusual that it didn't work that way for this system of tosh.

  Thanks in advace to anyone who can enlighten us!

  GYS

  Hi GYS

  S let speak quite clearly, for RAM upgrade, you must use compatible RAM modules. I hope you know what that means compatibility work.
  So if you want to be sure you are using the right RAM modules and compatible I recommend modules memory live 1024Mo PC2700 to use with the PA3313U-2M1G part number.

  You can upgrade your laptop up to 1 GB of RAM and using two of these modules, you will be able to use maximum RAM and also make sure that the Rams will be suitable for your system.

• Satellite Pro M50 is doing weird things perpetually

  Hello

  I come to you in a State of defeat, I have in my care at the present time a friends Satellite Pro M50, Model No.: PSM55E-003001EN, who does BIZARRE things perpetually, I tried to diagnose for a few weeks and am still absolutely perplexed.

  When started after a period of time (for example, be left overnight), the computer turns on, the rotation of the fan disc to the top, but nothing comes on the screen, it is completely blank. If you turn it off and turn back on again immediately, after that it will start and 'messages' as usual. The reason for this is a mystery to me, because it is only a problem the first time that you turn it on after a while to be turned off, then it disappears.

  Secondly, when it does not start XP, half the time that it will work fine until the screen is touched (tilted forward or backward), which either will make return empty (but always backlit), or BSOD. The other half of the time, it will start in XP, but after a few moments enclosing or suffer the cutting issue screen without being hit at all. I also tried connected to an external monitor, where the output seems to have the same behavior as the computer screen (on off the moment when you off/white/frozen etc.).

  Now, I have re-installed times mulitple XP on the computer, and (outside), it will work perfectly well in a base state being moved and tilted in all directions, I can think of trying, until I have install the ATI display driver recommended from the Web from Toshiba or legacy ATI site When the problems about screen clipping and booting into the operating system seem to start...

  I also tried to install a distribution of Ubuntu on the machine, which works properly again for awhile once installation is complete, until the machine is turned off and left overnight, the next day, wherever he hangs at startup 'Ubuntu' screen and does not start despite any number of reboots.

  I ran Memtest and it indicates that the RAM is fine, and the HARD drive was also tested and is in working condition. Now, this does not seem to point me in the direction of a flaw with the graphics chip, but I don't know if it would force the latter to expose ALL of the behaviors that shows this machine...

  Someone at - it advice about these issues? Given the age of the machine and taking into account the cost of a new phone of base, I don't think that it is worth my friend spend money on fixing the thing, I try right here save the dump.

  Thank you.

  I can't say with certainty what the problem but, as Akuma have already written, there must be a hardware problem.
  What you can do about it? You can try to find it on eBay or elsewhere mainboard handed to nine and exchange it in the hope that everything will be OK. Otherwise you can give advice to your friend to save money and buy new laptops.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro M50?

  Is it possible to upgrade the processor on a Satellite Pro M50 to say an Intel Pentium M 755 SL7EM Socket 479 (mPGA479M) or is the BIOS locked to accept only Celeron M 350J, 360J, 370, 380?

  You should first check chipset compatibility.
  IIN case the chipset would support the new processor, you have a good chance to get the laptop works properly.

  I think the old series M50 Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset support.
  So, theoretically the
  -Intel Pentium-M Dothan (725/730/740/750/760/770) 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.13 GHz
  and
  -Intel Celeron-M Dothan (350J, 360J, 370) 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz
  should be compatible.

  But be aware that portable upgrades from manufacturers don t support the CPU.
  So no one can tell which device is supported by the BIOS.

  Also, the Pentium CPU would create and produce more heat and this may affect the functionality of the laptop. In the worst case system and the RAM would be crashes due to the higher temperature.

  Hello

  The blue screen occurs due to the failure of the serious software or hardware failure. You the case looks like a hardware problem. As John said in the first response, it could be the graphics card or something similar.
  You guarantee is valid and I really recommend to contact the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country for the control of the machine.
  If replacements are needed this should be done for free because of the valid guarantee.

• Satellite Pro M50: Device Manager displays only 768 MB memory

  Hi all

  I have just rebuilt windows THAN XP on my Satellite Pro M50 and everything seems fine, except that before I reinstalled XP my device manager showed all my 1 025 Meg of memory.

  Now, it shows only 768 Meg. However, Information System shows all Meg 1 025. Any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance,

  Phil

  Hello

  I suppose that the memory was not upgraded. That I myself remember portable Pro M50 shipped with 256 MB + 512 MB modules.
  That is why I see problems with memory. It should show 768 MB.

  Hoe did you check the value of the memory in the system information?

• Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working no-error code 39

  Hi all

  My Satellite Pro A210 dvd player does not load.
  When I looked inside, he showed an error code 39.
  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still doesn't work.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the 39 error message appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in my computer.
  You can try this workaround:
  Go to Device Manager and remove the drive CD/DVD from the list of devices.
  Then go to the registry (regedit) and remove upper and lower key filters:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Then restart the device and test again
  I think this should help!

• Toshiba Satellite Pro M50 comaptible - tools for WIndows 7

  Hello world
  I own Satellite Pro M50, listed as a model on the official website of Toshiba - drivers and tools provided by Toshiba are only for XP and several of them for Vista.

  I installed Windows 7 32 bit and I am very satisfied with the speed of the computer now. Windows 7 was able to detect my devices (screen, usb, wifi, lan) and drivers updated successfully. Everything seems to work OK now.

  Problem is with Toshiba tools.
  MasterG (to whom I am very grateful, but I have not found a way how to address him directly) advised another user with the old model (M100-221) to use PPV and Flash Card Utility Support for series L500.
  (for more details: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=57586&tstart=0)
  
  I tried, and the utility of Support Flash Card worked. Now, I can use the Fn key.

  There are also a few features Toshiba I would run: Power Saver, utility TouchPad and so on. How could I know what model has tools that could function as a substitute for my only or was it just a coincidence that it worked?

  Thank you very much in advance, and greetings to the whole community of toshiba, I'm really pleased with this support forums.

  Bevo

  Hi Ben,

  It of Nice to hear that you have successfully install Windows 7 successfully on your Satellite Pro M50 and you also like the forum like me. :)

  What tools you want exactly?
  There are a few differences between XP and Windows 7 tools. For example, Power Saver already belongs to a package of added value, and you can find the parameters energy saver in Windows the Windows Management.

  The utility of touchpad you can download other laptops. AFAIK driver Synaptics and Alps Electric should work on all models, but you need to test, I n t have Satellite Pro M50.

  In addition a list of compatible tools does not for me. Just try it.
  Important is that you install Windows 7 versions or at least for Vista. I think that the XP don t work tools.

  Good luck! :)
