Vibrating and sound crackles on Satellite L30 PSL33E

Help, please. I have the laptop above, and the sound is driving me crazy, whenever I try to play music distortion, vibrating and cracking which makes it completely ruins the pleasure to try to listen to music, it seems worse, when the hard drive light flashes quickly.

The noise problem is not only limited to play music, the sounds of windows system is just as bad.

Also is it supposed to be this intermitant "whoosing" sound like waves on a shoreline of sea from the region of cooling fan?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I m an owner of the Satellite L30 with Vista. It s my second notebook.
I can listen to my mp3 without any problems! Everything works beautifully.
The laptop is a little slower with Vista, but it's ok.

One question; Have you noticed the same audio issues if you are playing an audio CD?
It would be very interesting to know if the sound is bad if you listen to mp3 files stored on the HARD drive.

Did you check the sound options? In the control panel in Vista, you should find the Realtek HD audio manager.
It s also installed on my laptop.
Here, you can set the different sound effects, speaker setup and the default format.

I would recommend this review!

  • Satellite L30 PSL33E: No sound after downgrade to XP

    My laptop (Toshiba Satellite L30 PSL33E) provided with Windows Vista but it is very slow with this OS and one of my friends downgrade my OS XP.
    But now, the built-in speaker does not work. Where can I find driver for them.

    Excuse me for my English, but I never learn this language :) sorry ;)

    Hello

    Solution is simply ;) you must first install the Microsoft patches (patches) KB888111 and KB835221.

    These two hotfixes must be installed before you try to install the audio driver!

    Here's my advice;
    First, install * KB888111, KB835221 * and then restart the device and after this short intervention, install sound driver that was downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page.

    I hope this helps you.

    Best regards

  • Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

    Hello

    I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

    I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

    I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

    When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

    I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

    I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

    I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

    So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

    I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

    Pedro

    Hey Buddy,

    > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
    Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

    I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

    From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
    I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

    Nice anyone got advice or tips, thanks

    It's very strange

    The error message says something about RAID but the L30 does not support the RAID and also the RAID drivers are not necessary.

    I m a bit confused and I think there could be something wrong with the HARD drive.
    Have you tried to reinstall the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows?

    Try this format the disk using this CD, and then try again to reinstall the operating system.

    If this does not work then a HARD disk problem is possible

  • Satellite L30 PSL33E - new HARD disc but startup fails

    Computer laptop screen then start the system restart and start windows normally.

    I tried both options, the screen turns white and the same options appear while it sticks right in this continuous loop.

    Could it be a problem with the new HARD drive or restore disk any help appreciated

    Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

    Have you checked the memory modules?
    These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

    But as I have already said, we can always provides suggestions and be 100% sure what part is affected a notebook check would be needed!

  • Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

    Hello

    My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

    It completely off and now won't start at all.
    Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
    No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

    She tried without the battery.

    A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

    Any ideas what this blink code means?

    Thanks in advance,
    D.

    I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

    In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
    Why?

    because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
    It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

    I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

  • Satellite L30 PSL33E - how to access the recovery partition

    Hi all

    I have a L30 (psl33e) who has the tact recovery partition, but I can't find how to access.

    I don't remember a CD recovery and thought that now zero or F10 key when turn the laptop would allow me to recover the system.

    If I need a recovery CD to access the partition then where I'd get that?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Ben

    Hello

    I think your L30 Sat was not equipped with a HARD drive recovery option and there is therefore no partition of HARD drive recovery!

    If your laptop would supports the recovery of HARD drive then it should be able to restore this laptop by pressing the F8 key immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
    Then you can choose the option to fix my computer.

    But as I said above, I doubt that this L30 it would support because as far as I know the recovery disk must be sent with the notebook.

    If you don t have a recovery disc, then try this site:
    https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    If you will be unable to order the disk using the above Web site then contact ASP in your country to a recovery DVD.

    Good bye

  • Upgrading processor on Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

    Hello
    Anyone know if the L30 (PSL33E) supports core 2 duo?
    And if yes, someone did - he tried?
    (also, have noticed that most new bios for these online is v2.60 and mine is v2.80 again)

    Hello

    No, I Don t it is possible because of the chipset. The chipset could not handle the new processor. The other thing is:

    How do you install? You know the instructions how to exchange the processor in a mobile system? It s not the same procedure as in a desktop computer.
    I did once and I had a lot of problems, especially with this thing 'firmware', because you will need a special DOS program that writes the microcode of the cpu in the bios because the characteristics of the processor.

    This program is available only to technicians from toshiba and I didn t have managed to get a copy of this program.

    So just forget your idea and benefit from my experience (and Don t waste money and time :))
