• Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

  I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
  I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

  The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
  This can be caused by an overheating problem!

  How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
  If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

  To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
  The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

  In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.

  Hi M8

  Have you got the sound before you reinstall the operating system?

  What about the State of the sound card in Device Manager? Are there any yellow exclamation marks?

• Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

  Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

  However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

  Help would be appreciated.

  Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
  Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

  The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

  Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
  I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

• Satellite A30 921: XP does not detect the Firewire IEEE 1394 port

  I have a satellite A30 921.
  There I link port aswell. My problem is that im trying to connect my camcorder dv via I LINK and this is the first time since I bought this laptop. But XP won't dectecting it.

  Can someone help me on this problem?

  Hmm, it seems that the satellite A30 921 supports really 4pol IEEE1334 Firewire/iLink interface. Therefore, it should be possible to connect your external camcorder without big problems.

  May I ask if you are using Win XP with SP2 preinstalled?
  You should do it.

  AFAIK the SP2 contains a bug which has affected the firewire port.
  But it has been resolved with the additional patch. Check this box:

  + * Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 * +.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/885222

  I also recommend to check the firewire port in Device Manager.
  It would be desirable to remove it from the list of Device Manager, then restart the laptop for reinstalling the port once more.

• Satellite A30 921: is it possible to upgrade graphics card?

  Is it possible to update my graphics card? I have a Satellite A30 921 that comes with the Mobile Radeon 9000 card.
  I was wondering if it is possible to update my graphics card

  Hi Daniel,.

  The graphics card in your A30 is actually a built-in chip in the motherboard unlike a desktop PC where it is a separate card. This makes it rather difficult/impossible replacement without replacing the motherboard together.

  Kind regards

• Upgrade the HARD drive, memory and display on Satellite A30 921 driver

  I got a model a30-921, satellite phone for two years now. I would ask someone who could help me how to put my hard drive from 40 to the majority and the memory to 1 g. and also where can I find the latest driver for ati mobility radeon igp 9000.

  Thank you and looking forward to here from you soon.

  Hi Remelito,

  I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and I suspect it would probably work with a 100 GB drive. However, as portable hard drives tend to suffer ruptures busiest I think their close office 80 GB is perfectly o.k. for me. I tend to have 25-30 GB used with the rest of the temporary files during editing of the videos etc. The hard drive in the A30 is usually under the optical drive to remove all first in order to access the hard drive.

  Your A30 can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in two slots. Currently, you will have 2 X 128 MB or 2 X 256 MB modules of RAM installed. You can get the modules of memory in the sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB. the following URL provides information on reference numbers (the United Kingdom site), but you can Google for a suitable provider.

  Toshiba unfortunately do not provide regular updates to their display drivers (at least in my experience). Like you, I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP in my SA30 and I resorted to a driver Omega catalyst in order to play newer games. I ran this Omega driver for many months now with still no Bul. You can obtain this driver from: -.

• Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921

  Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921.
  I can't find.

  Please help me

  To be honest I really don't understand why you need the USB drivers?  :|

  Is it all the USB drivers are one included in the OS. It s no matter what operating system you have. Win XP or Vista.
  Operating systems use the own Microsoft USB drivers and installation of the USB driver is unnecessary. By the way; There is no 3rd party USB drivers ;)

  So now, it would be useful to know what operating system you have installed.
  If you are using XP then you should install SP2 and should update the operating system to the State.

  Furthermore, you shouldn't t forget to install the utility of chipsets Intel (pilot).
  You can find these drivers on the European driver Toshiba-> Sat A30 page area download.

  Hope that this information could help you get the USB port works again

• Problems of keyb/mouse on A30 - 921 reactions when you play

  OK, pretty much since I have received this laptop I had a problem with the keyboard or mouse when you play. Everything works very well, and adults in general unless you're gaming.

  The keys in the game (say HL, HL2, Quake II, GTA, etc) are used to 'paste' in a direction for a second or more, or they have a slow reaction, as with mouse clicks. You could be market forward on the left and then hit to walk upright, but he would continue to walk forward and left for an extra second or two and then go right. I formatted the computer with the recovery disc and the error remained. I then formatted with my own clean copy of XP pro and the problem is STILL there, it must be linked to the material and not related to the software. I even tried an external USB keyboard and he did the same thing.

  I have a feeling that its to do with the use of RAM or CPU, but can't be sure. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A30-921, and the shared video memory chip RAM - the video is an ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility. You can choose to use 64 MB of RAM or 128 MB of RAM, the two are still the problem.

  I am at my wits end with this, because the problem causes a lot of grief when playin fast movement of the FPS. I tried to email Toshiba and they just told me to ring customers, and I don't think they won't be of any help. Its really annoyin me since I've had this laptop partly for the reason of the game.

  If someone has an idea, it would be much appreciated.

  Specification of the laptop:
  Toshiba Satellite A30 921
  Intel Pentium 2.8 GHz processor
  512 MB OF RAM
  ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility (UMB shared 64 MB or 128 MB)
  40 GB HARD drive
  FireWire/LAN etc.

  Thanks for any help guys.

  Hello

  I asked my friend on his opinion because he is a maniac in the game what he thinks about. This laptop you is certainly not a game machine, he said. You must set the graphics settings. HL and Quake II should in his work but HL 2 has to complex graphic applications and it will not work properly.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro M70 does not read the DVD of some manufacturers

  Recently, my Satellite Pro M70 stopped reading some DVDs, specifically verbatim...
  When I put in, it is just to see any disk. If I put the same disk into any other computer, even my friends Toshiba Satellite Pro M70 - than mine, even it reads normally.

  Any ideas?

  WEIRD laser could be at fault, or it is maybe dirty. Try to clean the lens with a Microfiber cloth.
