Do you have a Toshiba Satellite 1415 laptop? Do your laptop runs very lowly and even sometimes locks up? When you play DVD movie, does the video is intermittent or even freezes up? If  your laptop does have this problems, you may spend some time on this article.

If  it takes you a long time to open WinDVD player software and start playing a DVD movie. This indicates that the video and the audio output are intermittent. You may have the following choices.

You can choose to replace the DVD drive.

If it still had the same problem, you can test it with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test, and install a test hard drive and reload the original factory software.

If it doesn’t work too, you may test the momery with memory sticks with a good test memory to make sure that whether the memory has problem or not.

If your laptop is running hot too, you may check if  the dust or something covers on your CPU heatsink and clean it up. Reloading the newest BIOS version.

If all these can’t fix the problem, you can remove the modem card, wireless card, DVD drive to check the system board, the CPU, hard drive and memory stick. If it still runs slow, the problem must be that the system board or CPU is bad.

But almost everyone knows that replacing them are unworthy of you as they are too expensive.
