I bought one of these years ago and real quick

Unusual, but not uncommon for a power surge to damage the switchmode power supply in this unit. Repairs could prove very expensive and/or uneconomical for what is now an older model DVD recorder, but you can always submit it to an authorised Toshiba service centre, obtain a quote on the likely costs involved to restore this to original working order, then you can make a firm decision afterwards on the economics of fixing this or not - up to you.

Having said that, the PSU may or may not be severely destroyed by the surge. It depends on how many components were affected which determines the cost. In many cases, the workshop may be able to order in a replacement PSU board, fit it, check the machine out, and charge accordingly.

It is easier, quicker, and in nearly every case more reliable to replace an entire board (refurbished or new if available) in an appliance.

If you do send it off for repair, don't forget to mention the disc stuck in it and you would like that disc returned to you along with the repaired unit. Most workshops are honest, but mention the disc anyway just in case. Good luck.

Toshiba is generally a reliable brand and they make good products, and they fail like everything else over time, but in your case, the surge was most likely as a result of poor voltage filtering in the power supply.

I have a RS-TX 20,

Unfortunately you will need either a router as you mentioned, or a real landline. Magicjack does not support data connections of any type (such as a fax for example) and this setup requires a data connection.

Your best bet is to just get a simple wireless router, here is one that retails for around $100 in a store, but can be found online here for $30 with free shipping and no tax. Here is a link to that one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VMAYAM?ie=UTF8&tag=dependascient-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001VMAYAM

It is refurbished, but still has a full warranty, so there is no worries about buying it. Also you could get this one if you are wary of buying refurbished, but that first one will work better if you ever plan to use a computer with it:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BI1XNE?ie=UTF8&tag=dependascient-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000BI1XNE


But either of those will fix your issue and get it up and running.

Thanks

I have a Toshiba RS-TX20 TiVo that suddenly

hello,
you can solve this by opening the back cover of the DVD player.
first clean the lens with a dry cotton bud to clean the lens , you have to do this with care because the lens is fragile.
secondly, power on the player and check if the lens beam up a red light, if it does not the problem could be from the ribbon cable use to connect the lens to the printed circuit board or the lens may be faulty,replace to confirm the faulty one.
take care...

Dvd will not eject

Your track is stuck, you need to try and find something thin & lite to slide under your dvd track and kind of push it in an upward direction to eject. This should throw your dvd track back in place.

System constantly re-booting

While this post is very late to answer this question, here is where I found a solution with the DVD still inside. When I used this solution, the whole system reset and worked.

http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/archive/index.php/t-277275.html

"I had the exact same problem tonight. I put in a DVD and it locked my Toshiba RS-TX20 up. It simply wouldn't respond to anything but unplugging. Then it went into this infinite loop of trying to power up.

I finally got it to boot:

Hold the eject button on the unit continuously while it boots up (be patient!). It didn't open the tray until a couple minutes into the powering up process. After I took out the disc, it booted up normally at the next try.

I am guessing that there's a very small window during the booting process that the dvd drive isn't locked and you have to push the eject button in that small window to get the tray open. Since we don't know when the drive is unlocked, the best bet is to hold down the eject button continuously.

I hope this helps!"

Toshiba 42RV500E sound issue

This is a known issue with this TV. The following might resolve it: Check Mute and Volume: Ensure that the TV is not muted and that the volume is set appropriately. Sometimes accidental button presses can lead to muted sound or low volume. Inspect External Speakers: If you're using external speakers, verify their connections. Loose cables or faulty speakers can cause sound issues. Test Different Inputs: Connect a non-HDMI device (such as a DVD player) to the TV. Observe if the sound distortion occurs. If it doesn't, the problem might be related to the HDMI signal from your Virgin box. HDMI Troubleshooting: If the issue persists with the DVD player over HDMI, consider the following: HDMI Cable: Check the HDMI cable for damage or loose connections. Virgin Signal: Contact Virgin to inspect the signal/lines and replace the box if necessary. Mainboard Replacement (if needed): If the sound distortion persists, it could be due to a faulty sound processor chip on the TV's mainboard. In this case, consider replacing the mainboard.

Change batteries on my toshiba se-r0001 remote

  1. Locate the Battery Cover: Look for the battery cover on the back of the remote control. It is usually a small compartment that can be easily opened.
  2. Remove the Battery Cover: Depending on the design, there may be a latch, screw, or sliding mechanism to secure the battery cover. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to open the compartment.
  3. Remove Old Batteries: Take out the old batteries from the battery compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, so you know how to insert the new ones correctly.
  4. Check Battery Polarity: Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside the battery compartment. Make sure to insert the new batteries with the correct polarity to match these markings.
  5. Insert New Batteries: Place the new batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are properly aligned with the correct polarity. Press them down gently to make sure they are secure.
  6. Replace Battery Cover: After inserting the new batteries, close the battery compartment cover securely. If it has a latch or screw, make sure it is fastened properly.
  7. Test the Remote: Point the remote at the device it controls (such as a Toshiba TV) and test whether it responds to your commands. If the remote is working correctly, you have successfully replaced the batteries.
  8. Dispose of Old Batteries: If the old batteries are no longer usable, make sure to dispose of them properly. Many communities have designated recycling locations for batteries.

Toshiba 47" flatscreen. Power up

The information provided suggests that there might be an issue with the main board of the electronic device. However, it's important to consider a few factors before deciding to replace the main board:
  1. Check for Error Codes or Diagnostic Signals: Some devices have error codes or diagnostic signals that can provide more specific information about the issue. Check the device's manual or documentation for any error codes or signals associated with the flashing LED or other symptoms.
  2. Perform a Hard Reset: Before replacing any components, try performing a hard reset on the device. This involves turning off the power, unplugging the device, and waiting for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on. Sometimes, this can resolve temporary glitches.
  3. Consult Manufacturer Support: Contact the manufacturer's customer support or refer to the product's support resources. They may be able to provide troubleshooting steps specific to your device and guide you on whether a main board replacement is necessary.
  4. Professional Inspection: If you are not familiar with electronic repairs, consider consulting a professional technician. They can inspect the device, run diagnostics, and provide a more accurate assessment of the issue.
  5. Check Warranty: If the device is still under warranty, replacing components yourself may void the warranty. Check the warranty terms and conditions before attempting any repairs.
  6. Consider Other Factors: The issue might not solely be with the main board. Power supply issues, faulty connectors, or other components could contribute to the problem. A thorough inspection can help identify the root cause.
If, after considering these factors, you still believe that the main board is the likely culprit and you are comfortable with the replacement process, you can proceed with replacing it. However, exercising caution and exploring all available troubleshooting options is advisable before making any decisions.
