Power on and Disc Tray Delay: Has anyone else had this issue or is it normal for the Toshiba to take this long?

I think this is normal. All HD-DVD and Bluray players have a delay in spitting out the disc tray and playing. Some mentioned the latest firmware update should speed it up a little. But don't worry about it being faulty becuase they are all like that.

I had too many problems with it, so I sent it back and got a Toshiba. I ended up having to completely factory reset it three times within two weeks. Could've just been a problem with my individual computer, but you might want to ask somebody else.

I personally had problems with the unit and disconnected from my system. My two systems are tied together with a 2 port KVM switch. If I remember correctly - one of the disks would go to sleep.

I backup on demand and have used my Toshiba once since the upgrade and I had no difficulty. Fingers crossed!

This started happening last month. I've had the unit for 2 years. Usually opening and closing the DVD tray will resolve the issue. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 tries to get the movie to play.

Mine just died Friday after using for six weeks. I am livid. I am typing right now on a Toshiba Satellite that is over five years old so clearly the new one was a lemon. Now I am off to jump through warranty hoops. Uuurgh.

thanx for posting this.. i have no idea why, and I just bought one.. so I'm going to check my dvd/cd drive too! Also, is your drive partitioned correctly? My D drive had more gigs than C..

I've had this problem many times with my Toshiba, when the battery runs all the way down or changing the battery you have to restart and go into the bios, when in there, load default settings, then restart and it should be charging again

The same thing happen to me just enter system config on computer and turn off Toshiba power save and battery will charge

Well, Shelly, it depends! First of all, it shows that it's going to take something less than a minute. However, sometimes it "speeds up" half-way through and completes...at other times, it comes to the "end", then takes another good few seconds until it finally completes. It's nothing to do with the make of disc as this can happen with the same brand. So, just be patient and wait until the message tells you 'COMPLETE'.

There could be numerous reasons for that. First, did you update your BIOS? If yes, did shutting down and restarting do anything? You could also try the FAQ's on Toshiba's website. For the record, I had no issue with mine, but it was swapped out and auto-detected.

My Toshiba laptop accepted the disk without any additional software; normal utilities in XP handled it just fine. What, exactly, is the difficulty that has inspired your request?

Good luck getting service from Toshiba's authorized service shops! It was a nightmare for me. (see post re: audio sync problem for my update.) Also, if you are even remotely dissatisfied with the item's performance, do not wait to return it to Amazon. Returned items have to be actually received by Amazon by the deadline. Items like this that are shipped via freight (Eagle) present a bigger problem to return. Expect resistance from Amazon! Again, GOOD LUCK.

I don't recall any significant or annoying delay. Maybe milliseconds, certainly not a second or more. Once switched, no display anomalys, BUT the computer that is connected/switched in upon boot up will connect at better resolution than the computer which is not, so one had a higher resolution than the other upon switching back and forth. Can't recall, but can probably set the 2nd computer resolution after switching.

I believe the delay is due to the earthquake and brown outs that resulted in Japan. This is by far the best tablet I have seen, currently considering an Acer or ASUS just so I can get rid of my iPad which I despise. But I would really prefer to have this so I am trying to fight the impulse to just do something. I believe the delays are due to circumstances out of Toshiba's control.

Standard basic approach... First, restart computer (generally solves about 80% of computer issues) and then if that does not work, shut the computer down, remove power if attached to external power, and then remove the battery. Let the computer sit for a few minutes, approximately five, then reassemble, and restart (may solve another 5% of issues). After that, if the problem persists, update display drivers. If you need to go further, you could check Toshiba customer support and Microsoft "Mr. Fix It". Outside help is next. Bob

There is a .2 second delay. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405385,00.asp?tab=Specs
