• Toshiba satellite pro m30 USB problem

  I have toshiba satellite pro m30 and HP scanjet 4600 scanner.when I connect the scanner directly to the notebok with its ' original usb cable there is no problem. But if I connect the scanner to the laptop with a laptop usb extension cable cannot initialize the scanner. There is no problem if I connect the scanner to the VAIO laptop with usb extension cable. What can I do?

  Hello

  could you describe the difference between the original USB cable and the USB extension cable?

  The laptop and the printer works correctly with the original USB cable, but it seems that the extension USB cable is an inexpensive which does not fulfill the technical specifications and the laptop has a problem with this issue.

  To solve the problem in my opinion you could do an update of the BIOS, look if for your printer is a new driver available and reinstall the USB drivers.

  Also, you could test whether USB, the same problem occurs with other cables.

  Hello Aokank

  On this forum you can find many useful sons on new models of laptops (like your) and recovery. I can write the whole strory about and explain how it works, but there is a problem: I am originally from Europe and you have a portable US model.

  I'm afraid that the principle can be a little different as here in Europe.

  So I recommend you to visit us Toshiba forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1 and I hope that someone can give you a precise answer to all your questions.

• Satellite A305-S6898 - half black screen at startup

  I bought this laptop in early March and had to return to store due to a problem at startup when half of the screen would be black on the Windows login screen. They ordered me a new I got about 3 weeks ago and I used it for about a week before I had the same problem of a half black screen on startup.

  Now he has been running really slow and there is a time, I've had it freeze on me and my screen turn into a bunch of colored lines.
  I had to reboot in safe mode and run a virus scan just to make sure it wasn't my problem.

  I do not download anything on this computer other than basic messengers and photo editing programs.
  I have a HP MP7170N desktop computer which I use to download everything that seems to work faster than the laptop and I use photo, download torrents programs and store most of my pictures and music on this one and it has only 1 GB of memory compared to this the 4 GB.

  What is the problem?
  Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do.
  I can't really go back to the shop because they give only a grace period of 14 days for returns.

  Doesn't look good for me it sounds a bit like graphic problem.
  Before contacting a professional Toshiba authorized service provider would be, it would be interesting to know if you have seen improvements after recovery procedure and BIOS updated.
  I think you n t get a recovery disk because you can create it using the verification of software preinstalled Toshiba manual how to create the recovery disk

  If, after installing new check usability of portable and so similar issues still persists.
  If nothing will change it s is strongly recommended to communicate with an ASP.

• System stuck on initiallizing partition recovery Toshiba Satellite A305 with Vista o/s HELP!

  My system crashed this afternoon. Several times, I tried running the system since the partition and then recovery from disk ordered directly from Toshiba. The system will run the recovery VERY slowly (usually taking more than 20 minutes to get to the point where I wonder how I want to restore the system. I tried all the options available (personalization of the size of the partition, back out of the box, etc.) to get to the next stage where it begins "initiallizing partition" and it hampers is permanently in this screen.

  Knowing that previous screens have taken a lot of time to load from disk, I even let it run all night and it never progresses a plus! Help, please! I just want to get all work as it did when I got it! I had many problems computer through the years and generally could fix with little or no help, but I've never seen a computer get hung up always runs the recovery of its own system.

  Please let me know if you have answers for me! Fortunately, I will provide additional details related to the technology if you need it to help diagnose the problem.

  I thank all those who are willing to help in advance!

• Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

  I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

  I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
  Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

  All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
  If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

• Cannot get my Satellite A305-s6857 to start

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305-s6857. When I push the power button the power light turns on, then I hear a click may not know the fan and cdrom light is lit in orange, no display on the screen; nothing else happens. And then the power turns off.

  I suspect there is something wrong with the BIOS, but I'm not sure. Please someone knows how can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem
  I think that as a first step, the RAM should be checked
  You should try to switch on the laptop using that one module in different locations

  If this will not help, then another part may be affected. CPU, motherboard, etc.
  In most cases it of not possible to say what role could be faulty

  Generally, a hardware diagnostic test must be done to get the details on the problem
  In m opinion that a technician should be contacted if your warranty is valid, then everything should be done free fro

• Satellite A305-S6855 - question to reinstall Windows

  So I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6855 with Vista home premium. Have 2 cd I did a reinstall on it years ago, but don't remember when I do, do I need a key series or smth for windows, or I must only put the discs and wait.

  Because I kind of recall, I needed a key to add for some reason, after my previous reinstalled but now can't find key/serial codes, because I threw everything in the box except the recovery cd

  Just put the first disc in the CD/DVD drive and start Notepad using this means of communication.
  Then follow the on-screen installation instructions
  The image of Toshiba will be installed and no additional serial key is required to activate the system. It s already active.

• Connection problems Hotmail account on Satellite A305-S6909

  I experienced a problem connecting to Hotmail using IE8 on my Toshiba laptop. I posted this problem for Windows Live and my anti-virus. The two parties have not solved the problem after 2 months. The issue started around November 20, 2009. I think it may be related to a security upgrade or CrashFree upgrade.

  Information on the basis of the problem:

  When you sign in on Hotmail on IE8, I firstly have a message that my password is incorrect. If I try to log in again, I get the login screen (no message). If I choose the enhanced security Option, my browser allows to browse several blank screens before expiring. The site of hotmail then sends a message that the site is down, etc. Also, I can connect in the rest of the Windows Live, including MSN.com. When I connect to MSN.com, I can see the sidebar that shows the last 5 emails on my hotmail account. I just can't access these emails. I have no problem with any other website.

  Where this problem does not -

  1. this problem does not exist when you use FireFox.
  2. in Safe Mode with networking, this problem does not occur on IE8.

  Attempts at a solution-

  1. I worked with my anti-virus software tech support to confirm that hotmail is not blocked by the firewall. I have confirmed that it is not a virus affecting the program.
  2. with the Windows Live team, I went through the entire process of clearing cache, flushing the dns, restoration... I reloaded even IE8 on my system.
  3 Windows Live suggested that I use Fiddler Cap in order to acquire more information. This program generates an error when I try to run it. However, it works when I run it in Mode without failure.

  Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6909
  OS: Vista 64-bit
  Browser: Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit)

  Hello

  I don t use Hotmail but it is really strange. In my opinion, it has something to do with the settings of Internet Explorer, because everything does work with Firefox. Theoretically, this means that nothing is blocking your connection and AntiVirus/firewall doesn't block these connections in Hotmail.

  In the Internet Explorer options, you have different areas, like trusted sites, restricted sites, etc.. In your case, I would like to add MSN page you need to trusted sites.
  In addition block you / allow Cookies of some Web pages. Make sure that Cookies are not blocked.

  All that s what I can tell and the time and I hope that I could help you! :)

• Satellite A305-S6825: battery

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825 and turned on after using it not for about a week. I noticed that the battery has been listed as full of 60%. Is this normal? I thought since I don't use it, it would be about 95%.

  I'm in the USA, however, cannot see a Forum of Toshiba UK. Is there a Forum of Toshiba USA?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825 and turned on after using it not for about a week. I noticed that the battery has been listed as full of 60%. Is this normal?
  This is normal and it should be mentioned in the user manual.
  I ve got a pre-installed manual user on my laptop and there is a complete description.

  > (By the way, is there not a possible way to send and its application by email to Toshiba?) "It is very difficult to follow and understand their Web site contact information, etc.).
  By the way; If you have any questions about your hardware specifications, then it s always advisable to contact a technician of portable ASP in your country.
  Guys will always help you!

• Satellite A305 - screen flashes during processing

  Not sure if this is normal behavior, but I have a new Satellite A305.
  From time to time so that he (initially), treats the entire black screen momentarily (as a quick glance) and then turn on again.

  I've never had a laptop behave like that, except at the start, so don't know if this is normal behavior or the result of a problem.

  It is not easy to give an answer to this, especially if it happens from time to time. What I can say is look at this problem and if you really think that frequently, contact the nearest service and ask for help.

  What is the problem with this utility of FM?

  He has worked on my Toshiba Satellite A305-S6858 THE FISR COUPLE OF MONTHS, then stopped working. I have since restored from the recovery disk, but that lasted for a day and then died again.
  Toshiba should get this rectified or else!

  Hello

  I don t use the utility of FM but I m wondering because normally after the installation of recovery everything should work properly again.
  Maybe you have installed the software that isn't compatible with the FM utility t

  Also, I checked the Toshiba page we and it shows an update for FM Utility. You should try to install it, maybe it works :)
