Title: toshiba 4960 troubles
Post by: Ed. on March 04, 2005, 08:25:38 AM

i recently bought a 4960 and it worked great for the last couple of months, only now i'm having some troubles.  i bought it used, but i know that has nothing to do with it cuz i bought it from someone on this board, and i trust them.  I'm thinking the problem is with the power.  When I turn it on now, the display flashes from dim to bright and when i eject the tray, its really jerky, like it'll come out a little bit and then pause, come out a little bit more, pause, until it comes out.  when i put a dvd in it, it'll do the same thing when the tray closes and it takes forever for the dvd to load, however, it won't play.

I'm guessing that somehow the unit isn't getting a constant stream of power.  any ideas?  the problem started happening when i was at work, and my roommates discovered it.  however, i don't know if they're telling me the whole truth or not, for all i know, they could have been messing with it.

any ideas?
