• Satellite U300-13U - can't read or burn a DVD

  I recently had to install Windows 7 Professional and Office 2010 on my Satellite U300-13U, as it appeared, that I had a virus. My DVD didn't work initially after the new facility, about a month ago. But now I can't play a DVD, nor can I burn on a DVD.

  Can you help me? Diane

  HI diane83,

  Is the CD/DVD drive listed in Device Manager can and you will see if you open my computer? Maybe it s just a driver problem and so the CD/DVD drive isn't recognized properly. Check Device Manager and if you can see the reader of CD/DVD right click it and select uninstall. This will remove the drive, and if you restart the computer it will automatically be recognized.

  Check this box!

  A friend is considering the Toshiba Satellite U300-13u, which comes with Vista.
  He wants to install XP. XP drivers compatible with this model?

  Colin

  Just a note;
  You should first take a look in the installation instruction txt file is also downloadable from the page of the Toshiba driver before you start the installation procedure.
  The proper installation order is required for all drivers!

• Where can I get a minPCI card for Satellite U300-13U Bluetooth?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U300-13U which when I bought it I thought a bluetooth but it doesn't...

  There is a mini PCI express slot I can see next to the WiFi card, but I can't find anywhere that sells a mini PCIe card bluetooth, can anyone recommend one or a Duel WiFi / Bluetooth.

  I use a bluetooth USB dongle but want it built in.

  Thank you!

  I guess that your laptop has the part PSU30E-xxxxx number. All models with PSU31E-xxxx have BT on board. All these books have BT label on the lower side with part number for the BT module. Maybe someone can give you this number.

  To be honest, you must be sure if BT update is possible or not. I imagine that you will not be able to be upgraded. If possible, contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask if anything like that is possible. They must know this.

• Satellite A105-S4344 - DVD playback is slow & audio is choppy

  I'm having a problem with DVD playback on my a105-s4344.

  DVD playback is delayed, slow and audio is choppy and delayed also.

  BUT the movies that I play through iTunes work well, those who are bought and on my hard drive.

  It only occurs with DVDs I try to play in any program I try to play the movie.

  I tried several movies, new, old, burned, bought, etc.

  All the same problem.

  Help. I don't know what to do.

  Hello

  If this delay seems to play only the movies and audio by using the CD/DVD drive, then you should check this short work around:

  1) access Device Manager
  (2) expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI option
  (3) go to the primary IDE channel-> properties-> Advanced settings
  (4) here, you should check if DMA if available has been chosen
  If it s not set to DMA if available, then remove the primary IDE channel of the list of devices and reboot the laptop.
  After that the laptop has started again, check again the single point and check if DMA if available appears again

• Satellite Pro M50 DVD playback issues

  Hello
  When I got to my laptop the DVD player worked perfectly well. Now, every time I have read the DVD the CPU peaks at 100% constantly, & video skips & freezes & the sound skips & POPs every two seconds.

  I am still under my M50 with standard spec, all I've done is upgraded the RAM to 2 GB. The DVD player is a carpet * a DVD/CDRW UJDA770 & I'm running on Windows XP SP2. I have about 8 GB of space on my HDD remaining.

  Someone at - it ideas? I searched updates driver for the player, but can not find. I tried DVD playback on the two WMP11 & for the Intervideo Win DVD & I get the same problems.

  Hello

  just a small suggestion:

  Clean your hard drive of unnecessary programs and uninstall everything that has to do with reading/Codecs and the like.
  Then, reinstall your DVD program and try again.

  If this didn t helped you can backup all your data, recover you the system with the restore CD but don t install any other 3rd party software but install "K-lite Codec Pack", then Windvd. After performing these steps, check if it work s.

  Work since some programs are should know disrupt a correct reading of certain media such as DVDs.

  Good luck and good weekend

• Satellite U300-13U - iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration

  Please can someone help me? I have a laptop U300-13U and that you have installed iTunes on it. However, when I open iTunes I get an error message saying 'iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration and may not play correctly' which is an understatement - it does not at all!

  I uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, but in vain. I have searched and exhausted the iTunes support boards but have nowhere either. The sound is fine as I can read CDs with no problems at all. The only suggestion I can get is that there may be a problem with the audio device magnet is not Apple and vice versa.

  Does anyone have AN idea at all as to what might be going on here? I'm completely out of my depth, I'm just a simple girl who wants to play his music!

  Thank you so much.

  Hello

  I don t use iTunes so I m not an expert player but first of all, you must give us some important information:
  -What operating system do you use?
  -Are you using the factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) or your own version of Windows
  -Do you have the yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager?

  OK, iTunes says that there is an audio configuration problem so do you trying to update the audio driver? If this isn't the case, you should try it.
  See the Web from Toshiba site for an update and see what happens. Then validate your result:

• 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. :(

• 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 U300 - CD/DVD drive cannot read disks

  My CD/DVD drive does not work.

  It can be heard at work (or maybe working), but it cannot read the discs - music films or niether. The 'properties', says the disk is full, but can not read the contents. Neither is it give details of the content.

  If I run iTunes or Real Player, suffice to say it is a blank disc in the drive and told me to get ready to burn to a disc. But in his own info says that the disc is full! Windows XP sees the drive in 'Properties' and said that it is complete, but does not display the contents of the disc. Devices, said the drive (type HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-U10N) "working properly".

  I have turned off the HDD (software protection movement) protection because he stirs a warning whenever the unit darn picked. I tried to use the drive with it on and outside. My computer is 18 months old (I think), but this problem has existed for a year and gets more and more frustrating.

  Help please.

• Satellite U300-13U does not start and the recovery disc fails to too much work

  Hi all

  I have the above computer (or should I say my wife) & it is nothing that a good pain since the first day we got it.
  I have had it about 2 years & had to reformat the HD at least 6-8 times using the product recovery disc as laptop starts.
  The laptop runs Vista.

  In any case, problem I have now is that new laptop does not start, but for some reason any product recovery disc also does not work...
  What I can do...

  I have read on various forums that it might work if I reformat the HD first using some s/w on a bootable CD but how / what S/W can I use...?
  The laptop has a SATA HD 160 GB installed. How can I check that it all works.
  I don't know if the current problem is S/W or related material...

  Toshiba has a utility that I can use...?

  Thanks a lot for all the help...

  John

  Hello

  What happened exactly?
  Do you receive error messages by using the recovery disk?

  Check if the HARD drive is OK! You can check in the BIOS.
  If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then the HARD drive and HARD drive found BIOS is not dead.

  Usually, you might start Notepad with the help of a Live disc for example Bart PE
  It s a bootable windows CD/DVD live

  This can allows you to format the HARD disk, and then use the recovery disc!

• Satellite U300-152: DVD Player hangs after two chapters of the film

  I have read the DVD using Windows Media Player, Media Center and Player Toshiba DVD movie but he eventually hangs and does not continue.

  I tried another DVD movie but it's the same deal, it doesn't push through. Do you think that there is a problem in the DVD-ROM or is it just the DVD movie? Anyway, it's a hacked DVD, a copy, I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

  Spare part for my ignorance. I'm new with this stuff. Ciao. Thank you.

  > Its a DVD hacked a copy I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

  That s not quite right.
  Of course, the CD/DVD drive can read different media but sometimes it possible s that the CD or DVD media can be not fully supported by CD/DVD drive. That s nothing unusual

  But it would be very interesting to know if you can watch original DVD movies. ?:|
  I mean not a copy or something like that.

  If you will be able to watch different films on DVD, then there s nothing wrong with your CD/DVD drive.

• Satellite U300: Toshiba DVD player does not work properly

  Hello, yesterday I downloaded a new driver for Toshiba DVD player (only had the laptop a week or two).

  Now when I try to play a DVD it tells me "unable to output the video to an external device. Please change your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after the end of the application"

  Now, I closed the dvd and then did as he said with the Fn + F5 keys, but this seems to get me nowhere. It appears the laptop and the lcd screen icons are highlighted.

  Any suggestions please?

  Hi mate,

  It seems that the pilot has some sort of problems. What you might try is to restore the system to a previous restore point.
  With luck, you could play your DVD´s again with the player from Toshiba, but I suggest you wait for the next update, maybe they will fix this problem.

  You can also use the "VideoLan" drive which is freeware and probably one of the best available players that can play almost all formats. If you want to try the drive, then just go here-> www.videolan.org/

  Otherwise, you can perform a restore, use the Toshiba DVD player and wait until toshiba released a new update that works...

• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.
  Nice to have these community users :)
