• Satellite M30x-174: cooler starts denoising when I connect USB mouse

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba satellite m30x-174 a couple of months, and I have a problem with it.
  When the computer is turned on (without the mouse into the usb port), but not ongoing enforcement programs other than windows, it runs nice and quiet, but when I connect to my mouse starts denoising. I think it's the cooler that begins. Then when I remove the mouse stops denoising again. I tried with different mouse, but it doesn't change anything.

  Nothing changes in the windows task manager when the mouse is connected/disconnected.
  Hope you can help me.

  Sorry but I have no explanation for that matter. I hope that the radiator is not too strong. In any case, in my opinion I n t see what a certain kind of problem.

• Satellite M30X-174 noisy work

  Hey,.

  A few weeks ago, I purchased a M30X-174, but I am very disappointed by the level of noise. Fans lights with 3 minute interval, making it impossible to use in the classroom or living room.
  In this case, when the powersettings is set to "low".
  The fan is on almost all the time, when the parameters are "normal or high.

  Is this a normal problem or something that you can do something?

  Hello

  You know that the unit has got many pieces of high technology (graphics card, hard drive) that produce a lot of heat. If the power settings are set to low, the unit doesn t work with 100% of the performance and the heat is less. In this case, the fan care t running all the time.
  I think it s not a malfunction.

• Satellite M30X windows 2000 installation problem

  I noticed ribooth has also posted a message with the same problem... but I haven't seen a real answer. The problem: if I try to install Windows 2000 Professional (including SP2) on my satellite M30X-130. The windows 2000 Setup program crashes with a "page in a no fault paged area" in acpi.sys just at the moment where the status in the status bar has been changed from windows 2000. If I press F7 during startup, acpi support is disabled and no page error occurs but the windows 2000 installation hangs on "the first screen" where you should be able to start, stop and? installation. There is no additional hardware installed and I'm unable to partition and format the HD with W2k. If I do it with win98 and create a FAT32 partition and try to install w2k on it I get the same ' page in a no fault paged area "acpi.sys error. Any suggestions to fix this?

  Hello
  Make sure that the system BIOS and other hardware is compatible with Windows 2000.

• Power supply with Satellite M30x problem

  When I connect my Satellite M30X in power, he sometimes shows the power light and the battery light. It can then be turned on and will start and run.
  Most of the time the power light blinks and the battery light stay out: it will not illuminate.

  When it turns on, it will work for a period of a minute or two till about 4 hours and stops randomly.
  Now the led starts flashing and continues to Flash while it is powered.

  There must be some problem with electronic control gear. Strange is that this problem occurs from time to time.
  Sorry, but if you want to get rid of it you must contact Toshiba service and let check your laptop.

  To be honest, it can happen that
  Entire motherboard must be exchanged, and it can be quite expensive. Might be time for the new laptop computer. Satellite M30 is really old.

  What do you think of all this?

• Satellite M30X starting problems

  Hello!

  My Satellite M30X doesn't start normally more. When I press the power button, it turns on, the fan starts, but nothing happens. Or sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes before then the Toshiba logo appears, it begins in place.

  After that, I sometimes get a message that the Smart HD feature has detected a failure in my HD. But not all the time.

  I have Linux and Win XP on my hard drive. When I use Win XP, it starts normally, then after a few minutes, I get the BOD with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Or sometimes, the system just hangs. If I boot mode safe, everyting works fine.

  On Linux, the system freezes after 30 minutes of use.

  I'm tempted to think that I just need to reformat my HD (I have a 100gig HD of Fujitsu), and everything will be fine. I have to try again. And also once again, on Win XP Safe Mode, everything works very well - I can't even use WLAN, and I am writing this same post! But if it's just a software or an OS problem, why not not my laptop start normally? I mean, why is that sometimes it does not start at all (the Toshiba logo does not appear), and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on so that it works. Sometimes it is not boot at all, no matter how many times I try it turn on and off. The power on light comes on, fan will start, then fan turns off, light is always turned on and nothing happens. Or it could be caused by a faulty hard drive? Is that why it sometimes does not start at all? But if it is the HD, why is there not a problem in Mode safe?

  It is so weird coz it wasn't a problem before, and he appeared out of the blue.

  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  To me, this looks like a hardware problem. I think it works in safe mode because other such graphics card device drivers are not loaded.
  As I know the IRQL error also occurs if the blue screen of death appears on the screen. I think that it us something wrong with the graphics card or the memory modules.
  I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba for help.

• Satellite M30X and Mat * a dvd - ram uj-8205 burning problems

  I have Satellite M30x and Mat * one year dvd - ram uj-8205. On the beginning everythinks worked very well, but in the last months of 2-3 that it cannot reads some CD and have problems with CD burning
  I restarted the laptop with the recovery cd, but still the same problems. Before robooting, I used nero 6, thougth perhaps, this is the problem in nero, now using just Sonic record now accompanies the DVD.

  Please anybode help me?

  Hello

  How to help you if you don't mention what CD cannot be burned (original music CD, homes burned CDs, just specific producers, only some files are not readable). Give us more info on this issue.

  Check a little better, and if there is no success is perhaps the defective drive. It is well known that some CD (a cheaper) cannot be burned properly.

• Problems on the Satellite M30X 124

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30X-124. He stopped the electric network load when the laptop is turned on. The battery seems to be OK and witnesses to support lights online when I play with the charge lead to the back of the computer. I tried another charger and it is certainly not the charger or the charging cable. The problem seems to be at the back of the laptop when the mainstream point of entry is.

  I referred to this problem in the decision-making authorized Toshiba service and they believe the problem is the motherboard and I would like to replace it (they have not seen or inspect the laptop). The only problem is that the replacement of the motherboard is like buying a new laptop for high cost. Any ideas?
  I believe that the problem must be that he connection between the charge lead and the entrance to the main power supply does not work and there may be something loose that can be fixed. I'd rather do something myself rather than spend a lot of money.

  Any ideas please.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I wouldn recommend you do it by yourself, but could try. I heard that this phenomenon comes from a loose AC plug that must be welded to the card.
  Here´s a site that should help you in your mission: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

  If in doubt then I suggest you buy a new machine, rather than spending money for your old beautiful Clipboard. ;)

• Satellite M30X: Problems with external USB 2.0 HARD drive

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite M30X. I bought recently a 200 GB external hard drive. It has its own power supply. If I connect with USB 2.0 on my laptop, it happens to disconnect and reconnect leads him. Sometimes it works, so I can put data on the disc. Then again, he diconnects and reconnects repeatedly. I've tried a different USB Port, but there is no difference. It's very strange, because I plugged the external hard drive to many other computers (Laptop and Tower) and it STILL works! It is that with my cell phone, it disconnects and reconnects all the time. As I said, not always. Sometimes it works for a half an hour or two and then the action begins again...

  If anyone can help?

• Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

  Hello

  I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

  1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
  2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
  3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

  It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

  Thank you for your help

  Todier

  Hello!

  If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

  But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
  You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?

• Type of keyboard on Satellite M30X-130

  I need to change this keyboard---> COMPAL P/N PK13CW10180 - Darfon P/N 99.N5682.30E - MODEL NSK-T430E - K000016100 WK442K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE
  but on the internet, the models I found that they have these characteristics---> MODEL MP-03436I0-698 - P/N PK13CW10280 - K000016100 WKA16K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE

  The only difference I've seen looking at the photos is the dish that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.
  My doubt is about the feature and if they are hardware compatible.

  Can someone help me in this choice?

  Thanks a lot for all

  Michele

  Satellite M30X is old enough laptop model, so I think that you should have no big problems to get the new keyboard. I had similar problem on my old Satellite M70 and I bought the new keyboard on eBay.

  At this time keyboards were quite similar and a keyboard could be used on some models of laptops. eBay is the right place to find different hardware parts for old models of laptops and keyboards.
  Unfortunately I can't help you with this keyboard control, so if you find the specification that says that it is compatible with M30X you can buy it.

  Don't spend a lot of money for it. as I've written before on eBay you can find keyboards for reasonable price.

• How to connect a device to capture video for Satellite M30X 127

  I'm going round in circles trying to find a video capture device that will work with a laptop computer and would be grateful for advice. For example, I am now looking to the ' Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking autour (but not Pinnacle, which seem to have a bad reputation for the elements of capture).

  Problems include:

  1. the main problem is - many video capture devices require a "line-in" for PC for audio transfer of good quality. This laptop is not a line in, only headphones and mike catches. In addition, I also tried a few RCA pins into the 3.5 mm headset jack, and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from the VCR to my PC?

  2. the ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a type of SIX pins. M30X is a FOUR pin type. There are adapters available?

  3. Some capture programs seem to require a huge capacity of RAM. A laptop will be adapted to do the job? (I just want to capture old VCR to PC vhs tapes, and then burn it to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  You are right! You must use an external device for the transmission of signals to your laptop. I put t know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. I used the USB data transfer.

  "Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me, but I put t see why this shouldn't work well." Use made software for video capture and there should not be any problem.

  The only thing is that, after registration of video equipment together must be prepared to burn and the unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy it and to use on the way I recommend to extend the RAM to 1 GB.

  Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)
