• Replace the DVD/CD-RW a DVDRW on Satellite 5000-204?

  I just bought a new NEC ND - 6650A mounted in my Toshiba Satellite 5000-204. It fits well, despite the wedge had to be cut in a corner, but everything fits perfectly.

  Before I bought it, I called Toshiba and they said, that it will not work, I would only put need updated BIOS. I've updated the bios (I have version 1.80), but the laptop does not recognize the drive.

  I tried to access the BIOS by pressing ESC at the start, but after that, a message appears saying: 'Press F1 to the default' and not more options are available. How can I access the BIOS settings?

  When it starts, the DVD player turns on the light, so I guess that is not a problem with the drive itself.

  Any suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

  Hi David

  And what happens if you press F1? After that, you should be able to enter the BIOS settings.

• Satellite M40: upgrade XP Home, XP Pro

  I have a copy not used Windows XP Pro upgrade from 2000 , but cannot install on my Satellite M40 as XP Home tells me that I have a newer version installed. How can I put using XP PRO 2000 on my 2005 M40 build
  Can it be done?

  Hello

  If I understand you correctly, you want to have Windows XP Professional on your laptop. As far as I know, you need a full version of XP Pro to improve your system this way.

  Which copy of Windows you have, XP or 2000?

• How to make compatible CD/DVD player on Satellite 5000-204

  Hi all

  I see a thread on the replacement of CD/DVD drive on this laptop, but it was closed, so I write this post.
  Most of the recent unit is to select "cable" type and will not be recognized many laptops Toshiba.

  To fix that you should look for a disc for which you can find an update of firmware that change, that he either "reverse CSEL" type, Nec or Optiarc
  If you buy a player that cannot recognize (like me) read below.

  I have replaced the DVD-ROM/CD-RW unit with a Pioneer DVR - KD08 DVD burner.
  This device is a "cable select" type (like most of the other recent unit) so we can't recognize this portable (and many other models from Toshiba). The solution is to connect the PIN 45 and 47 together on the disc or on the adapter connector (this second solution is simple).

  If you look at the car by behind those pins are the second and third from the left on the top row of the pins of the connector.
  The connector adapter, it is simpler connect these pins (carefully) with an iron solder directly on the circuit board.
  Obviously on the circuit, the pins are the second and third from the right.
  After that, the device will recognize ok.

  Hey Buddy

  First of all thank you for the participation in the forum it of always nice to have users who shares experience and knowledge.

  Thank you for this info how compatible CD/DVD player.
  But to be honest I'm a bit skeptical because there is a chance that the player could be damage during this procedure.
  If everyone could do but only at own risk!

  Usually the compatible players are included in the user manual and it would be useful to take a look in the user manual before you buy a compatible player NOT ;)

  Cheers mate

• Start a 5000-204 Satellite USB stick drive

  I have the following problem.
  I have a little old and obsolete toshiba laptop Satellite 5000-204 who crossed thousands of problems latelty.
  I want to restore its original root formatting software and reinstalling all OS with the recovery cd.

  And start problems here: my DVD/CD-RW drive is broken, and it's just deas not read no matter what cd more... so I was wondering if it is possible to work around this limitation in my system and gt to install the OS to return in another way...

  Any advice on how to get my laptop back in action?

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Well, booting from the USB key is not possible.
  The BIOS doesn't support such possibility of starting.

  What you could do is to remove the laptop HARD drive and was able to connect to another computer through USB.
  Format the HARD drive, then make two partitions the two FAT32.
  Copy the folder I386 from your CD to install XP on the second partition.
  Start the installation calling winnt.exe.
  Install XP on the partition of frist.
  After the installation is complete, you can use the XP "convert.exe" command to change FAT32 to NTFS partitions. Run "convert.exe /?' in a DOS window to get the correct settings"

  This procedure should help to reinstall Win XP on the HARD disk without using the CD/DVD drive

• Re: Can not find drivers for Satellite A200-204

  Dear Experts.

  I'm trying to download the driver for my Satellite A200-204 updates, but I can't seem to find this product in the list of products on this Web site.
  Can someone help me to define under which product family is A200-204?

  Thanks in advance.
  Kind regards
  Elias

  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit.
  There should be a serial number and placed model!

  I think that Sat A200-204 is PSAE6E family. But check also!

• Satellite 5000 Bluetooth or not

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite 5000 today and one that sold me was told that equipped with a built-in Bluetooth device, but when I press the FN + F8 key nothing happen. I search the Web but can't find a list or something with the data sheet for this laptop (is not new). Can someone tell me whether or not have a Bluetooth device is integrated?
  Sorry for my English

  Hello

  I'm not sure but I think that some of the 5000 series have a Bluetooth connection. Why you didn t see a complete description of the notebook (5000-XXX)? Put the wireless card and check the FN + F8 key combination. If Bluetooth is onboard, it will appear in the window that appears by pressing FN + F8.

• Satellite 1805-204 does not start

  Computer laptop just down one day, said the motherboard was the question replacing the motherboard with a new Board of Directors. Always the same thing.

  Green power lights, LCD begins lights HD then stops. Then maybe two or three hours or days before able to get that much. Replace the CPU & fan climb too. Almost brand new. Please, any help would be great. Support where I bought the jury does not return calls or e-mail, won't throw $ 150.00 at the door. Check the power pack.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  First of all, you should tell us what laptop, you have exactly. The! 805 204 does not know me do you mean Satellite 1805-204?

  OK, the motherboard has been exchanged and also CPU. I m right?
  It's really hard to say why laptop stops itself but perhaps the new mother card is too bad and you're lucky just bald.
  In addition, perhaps he could a problem with the AC adapter. If you can try another adapter, check this please!

• Open the cover satellite 5000?

  I tried to open my lap top to get out the dvd drive, but I can't get the cover off. for me, it seems that there are still 4 screws left but does not unscrew. I thought u could just remove the dvd drive. If it screws or do I have to pull harder (I don't want anything of the things up.

  Hello

  Sorry I have to say that the DVD to the Satellite 5000 series drive is fixed mounted!

  As far as I know no disassembly of the plans are available on the net!

  Only one Service Toshiba partner has access to the plans!

  You can try to open it, but at your own risk!
  There is a high risk to damage the laptop, i.e. wrong screw in ca to cover damage to the motherboard or the cover!

• Restoration of an old Satellite A100-204

  I am struggling to find any software at all for my Satellite A100-204.
  I had to reinstall windows XP on it and obviously lost all software pre-installed to the touchpad, software control unit wifi etc etc. It's been a while since I used this machine, so I don't remember even what software have even called, still less how they worked!
  The machine is a hand so I have none of the provided disks.

  Is there anywhere in support of Toshiba systems to get the software for a machine of this old?

  Thanks in advance.

  I think Liam has already mentioned what you need: the drivers are placed in the archive area of the Toshiba UE driver page.
  Installation command isn't very important; Simply start by current drivers such as chipset, LAN, WLan, etc.
  Finally, install the Toshiba tools and utilities.

• A few questions about the Satellite A200 - 204 (PSAE6E)

  I recently bought a Toshiba model Satellite A200 - 204 (PSAE6E) bought the 05/12/2008, the garage.
  NATIONAL ALVAREZ (Al Khoudh, Oman),

  Sealed opening box, I realized that product had two questions, I immediately reported it to the dealer.
  (1) red spot on the LCD (Pixel damage)
  (2) LCD junk shows up after every 10-15 minutes of use.

  For the Point 1.*
  The Service Center authorized returned the noteback quote myself
  "The question of a white spot on the LCD is not the responsibility of the Department."

  For the point 2.
  The dealer has made installation of o/s for 2-3 hours of surveillance.
  Now ask to take me to authorized service center and keep for 2-3 days of surveillance.
  only then can the material be confirmed (as appropriate).

  However, I would like an honest of any opinion if this can be termed as "DEAD ON ARRIVAL" & can I request a replacement in these circumstances!
  Kind regards

  Hey Buddy

  As far as I know dead on arrival questions are always issues between business partners.
  So if something is wrong with your laptop, you could request a laptop replacement. You should ask your dealer to laptop.

  Now, I want to say something about your question;

  I found helpful article from Toshiba on the dead pixel problems:
  [What is the maximum number allowed and the type of fault of pixel your monitor LCD Toshiba can expose by 1 million pixels? | http://support.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm]

  Usually it is not big thing to do because there is a kind of tolerance of dead pixels.
  Only if the number of dead pixel is larger, then the number described in the document above the ASP will replace the screen.
  The best advice is to go back to the dealer and replace the notebook.

  On this second volume of Toshiba, you can find more information about the tolerance of dead pixel:
  [I have one or more bad pixels on my screen, I can fix? | http://support.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ350079001NR01.htm]

  Good luck

• How can I get inside my Satellite L10-204?

  Hi all!

  Anyone know how I can open my nootbook?
  Where can I find information on the inside?
  I need it because I have to clean the cooler.

  Thank you

  (My model: Satellite L10-204)

  Hello Michal

  Without Maintenance manuals, you should not disassemble the laptop. as you probably know disassemble the operation must be performed in order to avoid damage to equipment.

  Unfortunately, I see that he just a problem: Maintenance manuals is not a public document. If you want to clean your laptop, try to please with vacuum.

  + A user wrote here on this forum: a good way to clear this accumulation of dust is to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the aspiration air grills so that dust is sucked on. Just put the hose against the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds and block any gaps around the pipe with a cloth. +

• How to connect my Satellite 5000-104 to a TV?

  Hi, I hope someone can help. I have an old Toshiba S5000-104 which works perfectly. However, I wanted to plug into a TV screen and there is a handset very strange video-out/line connector (not a standard composite or s-video) and I do not know the type of cable that would be required for the connection. If anyone knows, your help would be very appreciated!

  Thank you

  R

  Hello

  Hmm, as I m not wrong not the Satellite 5000-104 has been equipped with a video 15-pin VGA and TV output port composite video jack with stereo audio 3.5.

  VGA video port can be used to connect the external monitor and the composite output TV connect to TV to the laptop.

  I think you should Google for composite 3.5 mm cable and I sure that you will find a compatible m.

• Satellite S1800-204: memory upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-204 memory which I just try to improve, two sticks of Kingston, 64 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM (like the one provided with the laptop) to two sticks of Crucial 256 MB PC100 144pin SODIMM. The laptop will post more, and even if the power light is on it will not start. The screen remains black. The manual of user leads me to believe that it is capable of supporting up to 512 MB and I can not find all the features that say the new memory should not be working.

  Can someone help to solve my problem or tell me where I have gone wrong? I hope we have not bombed just from all this money for nothing.

  Spanky

  Hello

  Yes. I also think that you should check if your modules are compatible.
  I found in the official document that this device supports these modules:

  PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
  PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
  PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

  As far as I know that you can upgrade this laptop up. 512 MB memory SDRAM (2x256MB).
