  Dismantling of laptops can be difficult, you might damage it more if not done correctly.

  You must go to an ASP and ask for a quote. They can order the Toshiba part and replace it for you.

  This isn't a big job, so it should not be expensive.

• Satellite Pro A120 - battery not found

  Hello

  Technical details: I have a Satellite Pro A120, purchased about four years, running MS Vista. A year ago I noticed my battery has been virtually exhausted and bought a new battery (this one, to be exact: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028NJAL2]). Since last year it worked very well and I have no reason to suspect that the battery itself might have a problem. Most of the time, I have the laptop plugged in, in any case.

  However, recently (last few weeks, I think) I started to have occasional problems when all of a sudden I am notified that the battery can not be found - or rather, there is no actual notification, but the power icon in the changes of system tray with a small red on it X, and then the computer hangs. The touchpad still works and I can move the pointer on the screen, but absolutely nothing else says and there is no way out next to a hard reboot. Sometimes, if I catch the icon change from time to time and unplug the power cord (force the computer running on battery), it actually corrects issues. Not always, though.

  Attempts to seek similar problem descriptions online were not very useful; most of the time, the description does not exactly fit my situation or the Seraph blames the battery or the operating system (which, in my case, to be as the wrong answers, since I said the battery generally works well, and I had the same OS from the start). Also a search of these forums did not have no useful result. I'll call my go - to computer store and see if their engineers have all the answers or if it's just the time to take the old horse pasture and find a new filly, but thought that perhaps the good people on this forum may be able to offer advice (additional).

  Thanks in advance,
  Yael

  I think that no one will be able to tell what's wrong exactly; I think it is s battery issue but of course, no one can say it it s battery maybe motherboard or just a software problem. OPERATING SYSTEM.

  Usually, the software should not affect the functionality of the battery and I think that it s more material associated.
  The laptop is a little old and the battery seems to be old too so I think that the battery needs to be checked first

• Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

  I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
  Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

  But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

  Does not seem to want to go.
  Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  One question; Why are you doing this?
  I mean why you want to open the notebook?
  Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
  If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

  The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
  Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.

• Satellite Pro A120 has network problems

  Mr President.

  I, Jayarajan.C.N, working as an Assistant Executive Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala, India.
  We had a laptop brand Thoshiba (Satellite Pro A120 type; PTA83L-08L02N model number; SL.no. Y6131B1488H) as part of a package of type brand MD - 2000 Tesient relay.

  We use this laptop for other official purposes also. It works smoothly.

  But we were faced with the following problems:
  1. we could connect the computer laptop in Local Area Networking with other desktop computers and laptop. But we could not transmit or receive data from the other computer.

  2. we could connect us the laptop to the network in ad-hoc mode wireless and the laptop showed the link as 'excellent '. But as in the case of LAN, data may not be transferred or received.

  3. we tried to use dial-up modem to the laptop. But we do not have internet access. The error showed was 'busy line (error 676) '. In fact, the line was not busy.

  4. we checked to access internet using Reliance Netconnect USB modem after installing its software. He also failed in showing the "username & passwords are wrong in this area.

  5. I added an init string in the Toshiba modem commands: AT & FX1. But before that, I made a mistake. I installed the Client Services for Netware. After that, the connection mode was changed. But I don't know how to uninstall "client services for Netware". I selected the account control user - change the way users log on or off, I received the following message: "client for Netware has disabled the display of welcome and quick user agrees." To restore these features, you must uninstall client services for Netware. As I said before, I don't know how to uninstall the same. Now during log on, I have to use ctrl + alt + delete to log on.

  After you have added the string init AT & FX1, I have only seen the modem trying to catch the net until the "veryfying username and password. But he could not catch the net. Please note that I had installed the client services for Netware. I saw that the modem has been "connecting" even after a few minutes and I noticed the system reacted very slowly.

  In short, we cannot achieve any type of networking and by error logging has been changed...
  We ask your advice detailed without delay.
  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite Pro A120 - impossible to get a PCMCIA card work

  OK, I have a problem with cardbus (xp SP2) of my Satellite Pro A120.

  I use the cardbus slot to add conections firewire via an IEEE 1394 cardbus card and have been doing this for a long time. The other night, my computer came into hibernation with the card still in the slot and still in use, and when I tried to use it the next day, the card wasn't working at all.
  So I thought that had died on me and has brought another, this one to be exact [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839314003].

  When I plug the new card into the slot, windows starts the installation add something new but can't find the driver, nothing on the CD provided, and it does not conect to windows update to find an ethier. Thus, the new card does not work and do not settle, it appears just with! next to pci device.

  I have searched all over the internet to find the driver, read the manual etc. I even did a fresh install of windows so that he could find the drivers but nope.
  The only thing I can think is the slot does not except 32-bit cardbus, but in my manual it says this:

  «The computer is equipted with a pc card slot which can accomedate type II card.» Any pc card that meets the standards of the industry can be installed. Housing supports 16-bit pc cards, including pc cards 16 multifunction card and cardbus pc cards. CardBus supports a new standard for 32-bit pc cards".

  Any help please

  Thank you

  > I can't find drivers anywhere!
  Usually, it takes the CD with drivers with the product. So if you don't have it try to find the driver on the manufacturers support page.

• Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

  I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

  I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

  I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

  And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

  In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

  8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

  Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

• Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello
  I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
  Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

• Re: Satellite Pro A120 is no sound

  My father made me a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-0QJ052EN the other day off a friend.

  He used to have Windows XP, but a friend of my father installed Windows 7. When I try to play music or watch videos audio meter at the bottom right shows action but not his fate.
  I tried to download the new drivers and I googled the problem, but I can't get the audio to work.

  I'd appreciate any help I need sound for a school project.

  > watch action but no sound.
  When you open reading devices in sound properties option speakers are set by default?
  You can hear sound if you are using the headset or headphones?

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

  It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

  FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
  I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
  I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
  I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
  I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
  I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
  I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

  If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

  In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

  OK, so this is a strange...

  I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

  Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

  I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

  Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
  You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
  I did it several times and it helped!

  Try it!

• Satellite Pro A120 - clock system is slow

  Hi all,

  Since a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).
  Usually I realize it after turning on the laptop, sometimes even when the operating system is woking! I tried all types of virus/malware/spyware scan, system restore point. I guess the problem is the used battery from the RTC. Is it possible even if the data is correct?

  Thanks in advance

  Marco

  > Sice a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).

  I'm afraid I n t m understand what you mean by system clock is slow.
  The BIOS clock shows incorrect data or time?

  Have you tried to change the time in the BIOS and then to check the time in Windows XP?

  Do this!

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.
