Toshiba Portege R500 Boot is too Slow

I have old Toshiba Portege R500 Laptop, every time the laptop was turned On, it would take a long time in booting process, about 15 minutes.  I could go for dinner while waiting until computer was ready for use :).

Now the laptop is already in normal condition again, but doesn't have the CD/DVD drive, because it is disable by disconnecting the data cable from/to the CD/DVD drive.

What I did is unplug/removing the socket to the CD/DVD drive.

• Prepare the small screw driver (plus type screw driver).
• Remove the laptop battery.
• Open the bottom cover by opening all screws first.




• See the picture: 
The location of socket must be unplug 
• Open the two screws then pull the socket to unplug.


After unplug the socket,
• Take the cover back.
• Put and tighten the screws.
• Reinstall the laptop battery.

Vaio stuck on loading screen after upgrading to Windows 10

All drivers are already installed for each device, everything is OK with this Windows 10 OS. The only problem is:  when I switch the laptop on or restarting it, after vaio logo appears then it stuck with blank screen and it takes about 2 minutes. After that, then it continues to loading Windows. After I googling about the problem, I am not only the one, other people also have the similar problem with their laptops. The cause is in the Ultra Low Power State (ULPS) system. ULPS is a feature or mode in hardware (graphics card) designed to save power by reducing energy consumption to very low levels. Now the problem is solved. If you have the same or similar problem, maybe this below step will help you too.
