• Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

  Hello

  I can not access my LAN or internet.
  I use a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

  When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, the message "LAN Cable" disconnected.
  The same message is displayed using connectivity doctor ConfigFree.

  I have changed several cables, used cables that worked on other computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.

  Near the LAN port LEDs are not lightning (or orange or green, no)

  I already read messages here in the forum (and other forums) and I can't get the ethernet card works.

  Do you think the problem is with the card or the operating system.

  Can you help me?
  Sorry for my English

  First, check to see if the network card has been recognized in the Device Manager.
  Under network adapters, you should see the LAN card.

  If there is a yellow exclamation point near network card then the driver has not been installed correctly or there is another serious error.

  In the first case I recommend the withdrawal of the LAN card from the Device Manager and after new reboot, you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!

  In addition, you must set TCP/IP parameters automatically because the router assigns the IP address automatically.

  Please check and report the results

  Good luck

• Lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk

  Hi all! I lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk. Anyone could copy it for me? Or, there is somewhere I can get it? Thank you! Be well!

  > Could someone copy it for me?

  Toshiba Forum is not an emporium of recovery disks!
  I guess that a recovery could be ordered from the ASP.

  If this laptop is too old then it will not be possible to get the collection of the ASP.
  In this case, you need to install the XP from your own disc, and then the pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

• Updated satellite A20-S103 - CPU and RAM

  I have toshiba satellite a20-s103 and I want to spend the cpu and ram.

  I need more to upgrade the processor that the RAM, the socket is socket p, please if you find any compatible cpu or ram from e - bay or if you find elsewhere, new cpu, or second hand in a good situation, please report it!

  and please tell me if intel core 2 duo or quad is compatible
  If you find the intel core 2 quad or compatible with that laptop duo, please report!

  Thank you very much!!!

  Guess what buddy.
  Forget the CPU upgrade!

  It is a very old notebook support old chipset.
  I'm quite sure that the chipset would not support Intel Core CPU m.

  In addition, the memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 MB)
  More is not possible.

  In my opinion, if you need more performance, buy a laptop (maybe good work 2nd unit) supporting the newer parts.

• Satellite a20 s103 wifi problem

  Hello!
  I inserted a card MSI mp54g2 mini pci wifi in my computer Toshiba Satellite a20 s103 and it does not work properly. The signal level is very low, although I tested it in the same room where was my AP (dlink dl-624 +). I found that there are 2 cables inside the computer (Brown and white) and two locations on the wifi card (in the hand). I don't know how I connect them, yet I tried all possible combinations and none of them does not change the signal level. Also, I found that even though the antena is not connected, the signal level is the same.
  Can someone help me with this one? !!
  Please help me!
  THX :)

  HI TEC

  Connect cable o white HANDS and black to THE and try again.

• Satellite A20-S103: can't burn CDs

  I use satellite A20-S103.
  my laptop won't burn CD more!
  This laptop uses a combo CDRw-DVD-ROM
  It reads, but he's not burn CDs?
  I looked in the tools and utilities cdrom. I saw a driver called DVDRAM. also I searched toshiba.com drivers latest. She also wrote driver DVDRAM here.

  What is the true driver?
  What can I do to fix this?

  Hello

  As far as I know, DVD player is automatically recognized by the operating system and you n t need to install any driver. Driver DVD-RAM is something else and it is not only the driver but the little tool too and must be installed if the unit has DVD - RAM drive.

  If you can't burn CD the only thing you can do is to do some tests.
  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The reader will be recognized and installed automatically
  Check if you have any success with the media from different manufacturers
  Try to clean the lens

  If this does not help, I guess that your drive should be replaced.

  Good luck!

• Need Win7 BIOS update for Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE)

  Hello

  I can't find the new BIOS update that includes SLIC 2.1 for my Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) table.
  I found "ACPI BIOS Flash version 2.00 for Satellite A215 (PSAFGU/PSAFHU)" (link: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1871687& rpn = PSAFGU & modelFilter = A210-ST1616 & SelCategorie = 2756709 & selFamily = 1073768663), but I'm not sure, which is suitable for my laptop model. It is mentioned in the list of the applicable models A210-ST1616. It is compatible with my laptop Satellite A210 series model for?

  Also I find this link to download BIOS: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=EU. Can be here is the answer to the question of mine?

  People, please help with suggestions?

  Hi eldorado24,

  Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) belongs to the European models because it s listed on the page of Toshiba Europe. This means that the Australian page BIOS update will not work and it s listed for the other models (PSAFGU/PSAFHU). If this update is not done for your laptop.

  On the European (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp) page, you can search for newer BIOS version:
  Laptop > Satellite > Satellite a series > Satellite A210 > PSAELE

• Compatible BIOS ACPI for Satellite Pro A30

  Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1 GB RAM and 2.8 GHZ P4 processor. I was wondering when toshiba would provide ACPI compatible BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, when running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will work Windows Vista professional, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.

  So I started the upgrade of Windows XP, and once the computer is restarted to begin installation of Vista I was faced with the blue screen, indicating that my BIOS is not fully ACPI.

  It seems such a shame that the machine is up to running under Vista, but Toshiba did not provide updates to bios ACPI. My bios version is 1.80.

  Any idea?

  Hi Keith

  Sorry to say but I agree with the above stanislaus.
  I'm wondering if this laptop has Vista capable sticker? Not?
  Well well, in such cases, it of not a big surprise that Vista can not be installed.

  Of course, I installed Vista on my M40 unit.
  I was a lucky guy ;) But I put t expect that Vista will run on each computer on this world some laptops really supports Vista and some not :(

  By the way: I found this document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7201SK002HR01.htm

  Seems that the old A30 is not supported for Vista

• Satellite A20 - S103 SD card reader

  I searched with google and browsed the site but could not find the answer to my question. I have a 512 MB Apacer MMC card for my Nokia N-Gage QD. I wanted to use the SD card reader in my A20-S103 to put stuff on the MMC card. And since they are supposed to be compatible, I figure it should work. Needless to say, this isn't: Pei

  SD controller driver is installed correctly, but I can't install the driver for the card. Then I get an error "tdevcon failed" and the pilot won't settle.

  The drive is even compatible with the MMC in my A20?

  Thnx in advance :)

  Hello

  AFAIK MMC card can not be used with your device. You simply insert the SD cards. In my opinion, the only possibility is to buy a small external USB drive.

  Good bye
