• Equium A210-17I do not start - how to access password protected HDD?

  My Equium A210-17I (model: PSAFJE) died recently and I'm trying to recover the contents of the hard drive.

  I hope that I can just put the drive into another laptop and start (either by using the player itself or a Live CD). Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

  Anyone have any ideas? The Equium stores a version coded the password or something?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What I've tried so far:

  1 put the drive in Toshiba Satellite C655. Request password and after 3 wrong attempts to stop.

  2. put the disc into the Compaq 610. Request of password and after 2 attempts to let me Live CD boot. However, once started, the drive is not visible at all (disabled by BIOS).

  3. with all the variations of portable password input - completed by zeros, dashes, spaces, etc.. Uppercase, backward, etc..

  In what concerns the attempts to revive the satellite (so I can remove the hard drive password):

  When it is plugged in, power and load front lights.
  When lit, the logo turns on, the fan turns and can also hear the hard drive.
  Then there's just in this State.
  No display, no beeps, no lights on the keyboard.

  Tried to start after removing the hard drive and CD-ROM drive. Also tried without the installed memory. All the same result.

  Thanks for your help.

  > Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

  It seems that the HARD drive has been guaranteed by a HARD drive password.
  Mate sorry but this password cannot be deleted if you n t know the password.

  Usually to remove the HARD drive password, you must put the HARD drive in the Toshiba laptop, have access the BIOS and there is an option called HARD drive password which allows you to remove the HARD drive KNOWN password.

• Equium A210-17i does not supply power to the top only with the power adapter plugged

  Equium A210-17i turn on when the battery is missing, but the laptop is set to the power supply dc?

  I have a dead battery and the laptop does not light with or without the battery inserted.
  The food came out 19v as it is supposed to.

  Also no led lights on the laptop when the power is connected and there is no sign of life at all by pressing power buttun.

  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  The laptop must also lights up if the battery is not inserted.
  If the adapter is ok and if it s connected to the laptop, then the power led should be lit and it should light up.
  This led indicates that AC adapter provides power to the laptop properly.

  But if the LED turns OFF then that would mean that there is no power, and in this case the laptop will not turn on.

• Fan almost constantly on my Equium A210-17I

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for a good few weeks now, and, apart from the occasional black screen, I'm very happy with it. Today, however, I noticed that the fan is almost constantly on when I don't know that it didn't need to be. Despite the laptop being on a good few hours, I'm in a very cold room and the underside of my laptop is barely warm.

  I read somewhere in the nets of the Satellite that the fan lights up in response to the use of the processor. (In addition, or whatever the temperature?) It seems strange to me if the fan has not responded to temperature.) However my CPU usage is quite stable and rarely more than 15 percent tops.

  I've also read about fan.exe, but I reason to think that it is only to turn on the fan when it won't turn? In addition, I would negate rather fan, but rather increase the threshold of what turns. There are apps for that? I had a look around vista and Toshiba applications pre-loaded, but can't seem to find anything (even if I uninstall a few things after reviewing the bloatware).

  If anyone can point me in the direction of a solution, I would be extremely grateful.

  Have you ever tried to install some software most recent powersaver to your computer, and then is installed?
  The other thing would be that the end fan/cooling is obstructed by dust, if the fan is spinning because of it...

  If it really won´t stop then I would first retrieve the machine in order to exclude some software releated problem. You are using Vista or XP?

• Equium A210 - 17I PSAFJE - Lan and Wlan don't work running Windows XP

  Hello

  I recently received this A210-17I (PSAFJE) for Christmas, but to my dismay, it was not compatible with most of my computer games, I decided to downgrade to Windows XP, after reading about how I could do this, I decided to do it myself.

  So far everything works great, with the exception of 2 factors.
  The controller Ethernet and RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor, which appear as unknown devices in Device Manager.

  I installed ALL the drivers for download from Toshiba for this specific model page and I have operational including graphics and sound rest.

  The WLAN adapter is strange for me, I downloaded this driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6& Conn = 5 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = true (the bottom one for Windows) and it seemed to install OK with the provided setup.exe. But the device is still unknown, and it will not install if the folder "Update Driver".

  I have no idea what to do about the Ethernet controller :(

  Thanks for reading.

  * EDIT: Fixed; D *.

  Looks like you have already decided to install a compatible driver of LAN and WLan.
  Am I wrong?

  It of good to know that the problem is solved

• Out of black screen on my Equium A100 - 01 M

  Hi all

  Recently bought this phone and im happy with it however,
  When you play games like world of warcraft 3D, from time to time I get screen failures, no true model, doesn't even have to build up or highly areas of Norway.
  I tried setting the lowest graphics options, tried to download the drivers updated, but still have the problem (it happens less with drivers toshiba than microsoft ones)
  When I first started all first the computer laptop Nvidia drivers in the list of installed programs, I noticed, I uninstalled them since it has a processor intel 945GM

  Everything else is fine, pace is smooth (for a laptop) and it works sweet as a nut with the exception of those annoying power failures bit

  Any help is appreciated
  Thank you

  Hello

  > When I first started the laptop I noticed some NVIDIA drivers in the list of installed programs, I have uninstalled them since it has an Intel 945GM processor
  As I know the Equium A100 series was delivered with two cards; nVidia and Intel.

  The same image of Toshiba is used on series of notebooks and therefore the driver nVidia and Intel driver have been installed on the same image.

  The laptop came with Vista I am mistaken? I noticed that a lot of games is not 100% compatible with vista drivers.
  Above all it s a graphic driver.
  It would be very interesting to know if the same screen blackouts happen XP

  You know, the Vista operating system needs much more resources than XP and Intel shared memory graphics card is not really designed to play the latest 3D games.
  In my opinion at that time the XP is recommended for play the game

• Equium A210-17I turn off randomly

  Hello

  My laptop is a little more than two years now. Since just after Christmas there now randomly turned off itself several times. Basically the screen turns off, standby-led is orange regular and the hard drive light flashes very quickly. Even when it is plugged in, the cord and battery supply turns off lights. To re - start the computer, I have to turn the power off then remove the battery and it starts normally after that (usually propose a SafeMode as a startup option).

  Sometimes the laptop was warm enough, but the last time he did not feel too (and comes to be browsing the internet). The first, some times even if I had just watched a DVD / was something the iplayer streaming and it was nice and warm. I ordered a cooling with built-in fans support where it is overheating, but it happened when on my knees too, so I'm really not block all of the fans.

  I just thought that I would ask here in case the lights were any sort of way to identify the problem, or if anyone else had a similar problem. As I say it still works well most of the time and it only did about 5 or 6 times in the last month and a half, but I'm worried still cause problems and so would work it out!

  Any help much appreciated!

  Hello

  If you have the replaced cooling fans, but have you also renewed the thermal grease? This should also be done sometimes and if your laptop is still 2 years old, it could be the problem of this stop randomly.
  Check this box!

  Otherwise, I think that he associated material s and maybe the motherboard, CPU, or RAM is the cause but your laptop should be checked by a technician of the laptop.

• Re: How to clean the screen on an Equium A210-ACE

  I bought LCD wipes and a few VDU wipes for my laptop.
  They both keep leaving smears on the screen.

  Can anyone recommend what I use to clean the screens.

  Hello

  I use a lint cloth simply and only water.
  But cell phone dealers provide a liquid special screen cleaning.
  You can use these fluids in relationship with a non fluffy cloth or a mild glass cleaner that contains no alcohol or ammonia

• Wanted to use parallel to Vista on Equium A210-17I XP

  I have a satellite A210 - 17l with Vista preinstalled on a HDD ATA with AMD Turion. Never thought to install XP over Vista on a laptop would be a complicated task.

  I've considered to run MS XP pro on a virtual machine or the implementation of a multiboot system. I did the last of them once or twice on a computer desktop, but not with Vista. Now, the thing is that there seems to be no option of virtualization for my setup. Virtual PC does not work on Vista Home premium, isn't VMware on an ATA and Xen is still not compatible with Vista at all.

  The option to install XP on another main partition seems to be as difficult as well. Tried with a slim streamed SP2 and base pro and none were able to boot from the CD. System configured to boot from DVD, but after checking the drive, it launches Vista again. Strangely, I put an old Win 98SE in the CD rom and it booted up withh options to install.

  Well, I can't work on what is happening with this, but if someone with the same successful machine to install XP or use a virtual machine, please answer.

  Perhaps someone else knows how to work around this problem?

  I have installed two operating systems on several models of different laptops without any problem. You can install Windows XP Sp2 home edition on the second partition with no problems. Download all the utilities and tools of Windows XP Home edition drivers and configure preinstalled WXP.

• All experience with Mac leopard or Tiger on Equium A210-17I

• Equium A210-17I - broken CD/DVD player

  Well, a few months back, I tried to install the game SPORE. As I put the game in my portable CD player, it makes a terrible noise, which freaked me out and made me remove the game never to install it again.

  Quick transfer to a month or more later, I read about a program called Securom break peoples CD players.
  I had not thought much of it, until I noticed that more and more of my records would not load, stupidly, I just it shrugged off tension and don't think much about it (I use this laptop in my classes so I have time to send it took off for repairs) had a bad experience with my old laptop when he disappeared for 4 months).

  Today however was the last straw, I need to restore my system, he was a bit lazy and I just felt like if it was time to clean up and start again only to find when I insert my restore disk my CD player will just not load, I have it cleaned, done everything nothing starts from it.

  I tried to restart, and then start the CD by pressing C, just a white screen. Nothing loaded, I actually had the disc just to make my laptop to load windows.

  I'm quite annoyed because my year warranty went out last month. I know that CD players are difficult to replace so I'm worried, I can do.

  Do toshiba repairs out of warranty?

  Hello

  Yes, the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country could replace the CD/DVD drive, even if the warranty has expired.
  Of course, you pay for the replacement if the guarantee is not valid

• Equium A210-17I - how to restore to factory settings?

  I want to restore my system to the factory systems but I don't have a disc. So how do we do it without having a?

  If you didn t get recovery disk your laptop probably shipped with HDD recovery option and all the info on this you will find in the document s user manuals. To be honest I m wondering you didn t pick up some info on cell phone you have.

  In any case, try to run the recovery procedure of HARD drive following the instructions in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  If this does not work, you have a big problem. Please inform us if HDD recovery works or not.

  It connects ok, but sometimes lack wireless.
  Also a few times it will stay connected for 10 minutes, but then the connection fails and I don't see why a reason.

  Everyone found this problem or can anyone help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Similar questions were a lot of times here in this forum.
  I remember that it could be solved by updating the BIOS and the driver WLan.

  I put t know what card WLan has been integrated, but all the compatible WLan drivers and BIOS of law should be placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

  Check your space for notebooks driver download and update the software items mentioned.

  Good bye
