• Satellite A210-17I extinguished but battery led amber goes when reconnected AC

  I've seen a few discussions on the batteries is discharged quickly.
  To be honest, when my Satellite A210-17I is on batteries, they last for 1 hour + / 15 min and recharge relatively fast.

  The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.

  It happened when I had only Vista as well as now with only XP in the boot menu (Vista still not deleted).
  I have no alarm clock apps in the start menu and could not understand what Windows or Toshiba apps should force the laptop to wake up while it is turned off.

  Someone at - he a clue, any similar experiences, comments?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Sorry, but I could t find problems with your laptop.
  Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  I have an A210 with an AMD processor and my battery out lasts for about 1 hour 20 minutes using only internet Explorer.
  The point is that all parts high performance like CPU and GPU ATI needs and wastes a lot of energy when running it only with the battery.

  > The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.
  It is perhaps strange to you, but this is normal behavior for laptop.
  A wake on LAN (WOL) function could be the reason for the flow of this power.

  Check this doc from Toshiba:
  [Battery draining 15-20% when it is turned off during the night | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm]

  On the other hand, the battery still loses 2-4% of the power. Also if the WOL function would be disabled.
  There is also an interesting Toshiba doc who could confirm.
  [My unit loses 2-4% battery by turning the device off then turn it back on. | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6B01MY000WR01.htm]

• Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

  As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
  In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

  Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

  Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

  This is just an example...

  Cheers for reading!
  Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

  Hi dude

  Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
  The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
  To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

• Satellite A210-17I does not start as it should - in fact, it does not start

  I'd really, really appreciate any help on this one.

  Saturday, I bought a Toshiba A210-17I. Monday, I plugged it in, the battery and when it was loaded, lit - Vista completed the installation and everything seemed quite well. I turned off overnight but this morning, I'm getting problems :-(

  When I turn on, the system appears at startup and in due time, I see that Windows is loading files, followed by the message "(c) Microsoft Corporation" with the progress bar. It scrolls on the screen for a while, the HARD drive light blinks several times then the screen turns off completely and it is as if the laptop is in a sort of hibernation mode - the power led (O with a vertical line) remains on.

  Exactly the same thing happens if I boot from the "product recovery" DVD - after pressing [F12] and selecting to boot from the DVD drive.
  The installed operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium OEM.
  The battery is fully charged.
  Memtest86 + v1.70 found no errors.

  Any suggestions as to what I can try next? I don't have all the data on the system so I don't care if everything is updated, I don't know hoe to proceed. Either way, I have access to (legitimate) copies of Windows 2000, Vista 32-bit & 64-bit XP and 64 - bit if this will help in any way?

  Thanks a lot for any useful comment ;-)

  Thanks for this info!

• Need driver drive HARD MK1637gsx for Satellite A210-17i

  Help

  I'm pulling out my hair with my laptop.

  He won a virus which resulted in a total relocation. However, I can't do what the HARD drive can be seen, but are not accessible. I can't create partitions or format. Loading disc for instalation of vista it clearly asks a driver but I search the internet and here's and while there are a lot of questions asking a person as provided the vital software.

  Can you help me?

  I would be very grateful.

  Hello!

  You use a Microsoft installation disc not the Toshiba Recovery disk, right?
  For Microsoft disc, you need the SATA/RAID driver. Have you downloaded?

  Also if you can not access the HARD disk I would check this with special tools:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good bye

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 do not recognize the optical disc drive

  I have a satellite A210 - 1 4 who recognize the strange.
  The drive has power and running disks but does not appear as a drive in MY COMPUTER.

  It is also not recognized in the Bios.
  I updated the Bios and tried to install the firmware but the message that the drive is not found.

  I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  If anyone has had similar problems, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  You have tested optical drive in another computer?
  In any case, if the STRANGE is not recognized in the BIOS I'm afraid controller ODD m is defective. It comes to the motherboard so there is not some sort of easy solution.
  I don't think you can do much except to swap the motherboard.

• Satellite A210-184: How can I restore the OS?

  Hmm... strange...

  anyway... I bougth this computer a few years ago, and now I want to format it, but since the CD drive broke down near after buying the computer ive not been able to do a restore using my CD

  So I borrowed an external Cd-rom drive... and yet it does not start from him...
  I tried all the possible solutions can be found on the internet, and yet it is not possible...

  When I try to restore from a previous backup, I can't restore factory default, even when I choose the partition hidden... as there is no files on it... apparently its empty...

  I tried the press C, 0, repair F8 and everything... won't let me...
  When I reach the menu and press the last option "restore windows to defautl" it just says: "If the files are damaged or corrupt, please use Witch of the cd provided with your computer..." This option is to press OK (not then like some said guides)... and brings back me to the original menu...

  I tried the "full pc recovery", but I get the message "theres no directory valid blah blah blah, insert the CD rigth and or a HARD drive or select the backup location ', but it won't let me select any other directory...

  So overall...

  Cannot restore from the hidden partition and cannot restore from cd when even he supposed to work...
  Cannot install xp on it, Vista is blocked... and cannot restore factory default...

  So overall... I received a computer witch is more or less just useless in vu and im really consider throw it...

  I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...

  Hi dude

  > I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...
  I put t agree with you.

  First of all I m owner of the satellite A210 as well and my laptop work properly since the first day.

  My A210 was not equipped with HARD drive recovery option, but there was a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that helps create the recovery disk.

  If you want to retrieve the laptop, you need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

  If you are not able to boot from the disc then your ODD (CD/DVD) drive may be defective.
  This means that you need to replace the ODD.

  But note; not all dimensions are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings
  And this isn't just a case for Toshiba laptop, but for all mobile phones from different manufacturers!
  Ratings slimline don t support no rider, but are controlled by the firmware software and, therefore, you should choose one compatible

  You can also read a user manual are enough details and information about the recovery process so well in most cases, reading allows you to get more information

• 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.

• Satellite A210 - error during recovery

  Hi all

  I received a Satellite A210 (opportunity, about two years old) by a friend. The laptop does not work at the moment. When the laptop is turned on, it displays a message "Missing Operating System". I tried using the recovery disk supplied with the machine, but it doesn't help. I get the same message "error restoring image."
  ERROR = ImageX would not apply VISTA F = \05853XSP.swm Index 2 of ODD to C =------! Press a key to continue, and it is as he goes. Currently a une machine machine second hand, that I don't know what works and what does not.

  Any ideas on where to go from here would be much appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  I never had an error message during the installation of recovery so I m not sure what the reason for this problem.

  Have you checked the BIOS? Is the drive recognized properly it?

  What happens if you try to install Windows from a Microsoft installation disc?

• Replacing a video card on Satellite A210-1 has 0

  Including those different similar can (replace) put it inside my laptop?

  We are talking on cell phones and the No.
  It is well known that the replacement of portable equipment or upgrade is very limited so your question is wrong.

  In case this GPU is defective whole mainboard needs to be replaced.

• Re: Satellite A210 - 1 c 0 - no display and not dΘmarre HARD disk

  Display Satellite A210 - 1C0 does not work. The HARD drive does not start. I believe that the BIOS is the problem.

  How reflash / recover BIOS without the use of a screen?

  Hi, MPP,

  Are you sure that the display is faulty? Wouldn t BIOS cause such a problem then there s no problem BIOS.

  I think you should test if the internal display is really defective. Simply connect an external monitor to your laptop and check the picture. If only the internal display is faulty, the laptop should boot properly and you can use it with an external monitor.

  Ronald

  Hello

  You can enter the BIOS settings? If you can do this by using F2 to start together to check and default settings if the same thing will happen again. You can try to put the bootable disc in ODD and try to check if you have access to the HARD drive.

  If the same thing will happen again and again I'm afraid the motherboard is a failure of m.

• Satellite A210-183 starts black screen no

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-183 and I change the OS from vista to XP Home when I did that I was getting the error 0251: CMOS checksum error press f1 to continue

  I reinstalled Vista recovery and everything was ok.
  So I thought it might be a windows problem. I reinstalled XP home and I ran the update for SP3.

  After the computer starts, but nothing appears on the screen, not even BIOS

  Help me please

  You see the Toshiba Logo? Did you recently change any material? Install more memory?

  I try swapping around memory, or try a single module, in which case one is defective.

  I noticed some Toshiba models have a separate BIOS for XP and Vista. To check for a proper BIOS Toshiba website, if there is no dedicated XP BIOS, just updated the BIOS with the latest version.

  XP SP3 is known to cause problems on some PCs. I could install XP SP2 instead and see how it goes.
