• What are the specifications of the Satellite Pro A10

  OK this question isn't quite as noob as it sounds, well not quite...
  The question is, I look at a Satellite Pro A10 for a friend, and he seems to have no Modem connection or wireless, despite the modem plug and the switch at the front for the wireless connection. The machine is second hand, and we see that there was only a software modem of Toshiba used but it seems to have disappeared. None of the devices appear in Device Manager or anywhere else.

  Before starting the assumption that they are faulty is there anywhere on the Web from Toshiba site where I can put the serial number and look at the specifications of the machine when it was purchased (as you can with a Dell :)). It is an old machine and If the wireless has been upgraded optional and it did not buy so it won't of course work but I need to know.

• Replacement to the satellite Pro A10 hard drive

  By turning on the laptop I get IDE #0 ERROR Inter (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09 etc. Insert system disk in drive. I do and nothing happens.

  Is this to say that the hard drive is spent? If yes where can I get a replacement from? How I don't know what to buy?

  Hi Dean

  Well, the ERROR IDE #0 means that the BIOS cannot recognize devices connected to the IDE #0. Above all it s a HARD drive.
  So I presume that you HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  You can buy a compatible HARD drive from a computer or a laptop computer reseller. Of course, you can contact your local Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider) and order this HARD drive too.

  Your Pro A10 appears to bear an IDE hard drives.
  Therefore, you might choose an IDE HDD with 20, 30 GB or 40 GB

  I posted only these three sizes because I'm not sure about bigger hard drives.
  Perhaps a larger HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• Satellite Pro A10 HDD

  I have the Satellite Pro A10 C2.2GHz/XP Home/256 MB/20 GB/14TFT/DVD/WiFi. One day, the computer just froze and then resets and would not start again, and I kept getting the message:

  «PXE - E61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE, CHECK CABLE.» PXE - M0F: EXIT INTEL BOOT AGENT. "INSERT SYSTEM DISK IN.

  or

  'A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED '.

  I tried some hard disk controllers, but they are unable to get anywhere, because they cannot access the drive. Anyone know of any solution to this, or if not, where would be the best place for replacement because my warranty has run out.

  Any help appreciated,

  Thank you
  Tom

  Hi John,.

  Unfortunately, it seems that if your HARD drive has crashed. The message of your BIOS is normally what you see if the PC cannot detect any bootable devices. Usually, it is a bootable HARD drive.

  Assuming you have the Toshiba Recovery CD you could try to restore your existing system to your HDD (it will automatically reformat the hard disk first), but you might find although it will simply fail restore due to the failure of the drive.

  Your next option is to replace the HARD drive. You can do it yourself very easily, or you may prefer to take the laptop to a Service Agent for them to do. Note that you still need to rebuild your system from the recovery CD according to your choice.

  Given that your device has a 20 GB HARD drive standard you could take this opportunity to install a larger capacity drive.

• Satellite Pro A10 - no answer - enter HDD #0 error

  Pro warranty A10, student daughter portable computer reports no longer works, already suspended and finally no response from any other lights at the entrance to DC charger is connected.

  Clean fan/radiator, a lot of lint etc. removed. No obvious signs to know why the Board me dead however. Confirmed with counters that this DC of the shipper in me Board. Ordered A replacement me Board, FHZSY1, eBay and equipped, taking the precautions of static, but can not confirm that they were done by the seller.
  Now, new Board of Directors recognizes the input DC and recharged the battery OK. Tried to turn on the laptop but terrible mistake INPUT #0. Concluded that the HARD drive had also been damaged. New (Toshiba box) arrived two days later but gave the same error when mounted. BIOS won't recognize HARD at all. Tried all the messages on the verification of the connections and certainly not of mounted riders. Laptop will continue to start from a system CD, as it may then think the new me Board is OK

  Are the HARD drive of the Satellite Pro A10 different from those on the A10 satellite earlier?
  Any other ideas on this INPUT #0 error?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no different hard disks and your use of the same laptop as most other Toshiba laptops. I can just write that this error is certainly resulting HARD disk problem. The HARD drive is obviously not identified by BIOS correctly.

  Sorry but I have no more info on this subject. By the way: is the motherboard new or used one?

• Satellite Pro A10 CPU upgrade possible? Which processors?

  Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite Pro A10 CPU? What processors are supported?

  Hello

  Usually the CPU upgrade is not possible on laptops because of several reasons.
  But as far as I know that this camera was supplied with three different processors:
  Intel Celeron P4 - M (Mobile) 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz
  Well, I put t know if the CPU was only connected or soldered onto the motherboard.

  However, it s not advisable to change the CPU. It is possible that after CPU change the laptop overheating for example.

• Satellite Pro A10 - where to find the drivers

  Hello

  I have an A10 Pro Satellite I am trying to set up for a Christmas gift for my daughter, but I'm unable to do to go on line.

  I was told that I need the drivers for it.
  I was looking at this forum and I went to the download page mentioned in the discussions I've read.

  I tried to fill in the form to identify the drivers I need, but I was not able to find the good ones, as I can't find the model in the menu drop down it returns a lot of possible drivers. I downloaded a few of them on a flash drive and tried to download on the Toshiba laptop, but with no joy.

  Please can someone help me identify the correct drivers that I need to help me configure the laptop?
  Sorry to be so dence but his father and I don't know anything to do a laptop internet ready.

  Hello

  The drivers for this laptop are on the European driver Toshiba page.
  This book belongs to a series of older and so you can find the drivers in the area of the ARCHIVE.

  Check this box:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-> support download &-> download drivers

  Here, you have to choose:
  Archive-> Satellite Pro-> A-> Satellite Pro A10 Satellite Pro

  You can connect this laptop to the router using the LAN port.

  I m not very well if you'll be able to connect the laptop to the router using the WiFi because that card WLan was optional on this laptop and possibly there is no WLan card.

  If you want to check if the wireless card is installed, then you should check the device-> maps network manager
  LAN and WLan card must be registered.

• Satellite Pro A10 to the United Kingdom: impossible to find some drivers for XP

  Hello

  Just my old laptop slung and bought a 2nd hand, Satellite Pro A10 and have reformatted and installed my existing copy of XP home that uses the SP1, I managed to find all drivers I need except for the "USB Controller" and 2 instances of "Base system device".

  I can't find the USB driver anywhere, nor do I have any idea what a 'Base system device' is, any help greatly appreciated as its delay my work :/

  Thank you

  Hello

  I do not understand why you changed the operating system. I think XP Prof is the best version of Windows XP.

  Anyway, you can find all the necessary drivers on the utility CD & tools and programs. Drivers for XP Home and teacher are the same. On the CD drivers and programs are listed in the order. Follow this order during installation to avoid conflicts. And always reboot the system if necessary.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A10 won't boot up - where to get the disks

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that currently does not start up Windows (XP) as it says

  The following file is corrupted or damaged:
  C:\windows\system32\config\system

  Tools & Utilities CD that came with my laptop has unfortunately been scratched and will not start.
  I have two system recovery disks, which are very good.

  My questions:

  1. is it possible to buy a replacement Tools & Utilities CD-Rom?
  2. If Yes, where to go?
  3. is there a way to restore my laptop without having to reinstall everything completely and lose all my files?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: Stuart_2007

  With regard to the point;

  (a) generally, it should be possible to order the CD of tools & utilities but I ask why?
  (b) you can buy the CD of the ASP in your country
  (c) the older recovery CD is supported by an expert mode. You can use this mode to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed. In this case only, this partition will be formatted.

  But look, man. You do not need to order the CD tools & utilities because on this CD, you will only find the Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.

• Satellite Pro A10 - SP2 or 3 slows the performance of XP?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E that, over the years, had become very slow.

  Recently, I upgraded it's RAM from 256 to the maximum of 1 GB to try to speed things up, but it did not help.

  Then I reformatted the hard drive and reloaded the system using the Toshiba recovery disks. It worked well and the system performance has been excellent. However, with online safety in mind, I loaded the Windows SP2 (to go then to SP3) and it took the system back to where I started - very, very slow, in fact pretty much unusable.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba compatible SP2 and SP3 on this laptop model?

  If yes how install them without killing performance?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  According to me, SP2 or SP3 is supported on this Toshiba laptop because two Service Packs are contains important security updates and I think that's not the problem.

  If you install SP2 or SP3 you also get the center of security and better Windows Firewall. Maybe you should disable these two services given that the slowdown in the performance of the system (I always disable the two services).
  Just go to start-run-services.msc online online and disable both services and set the startup type to disabled.

  Good bye

  Hello

  Why do you think the motherboard is ok?
  Maybe it s a controller keyboard problem
  Did you check if the cable is correctly connected?

  In my opinion if you are sure that the keyboard is ok 100% the problem to be attached to the motherboard because there is no other party that is placed between the keyboard and the mobo.

• Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

  HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
  A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

  Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

  I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

  Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

  THX in advance people.

  Hello James

  IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

  In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

  Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

  Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.
