Display on Satellite A210-1AO problem
I have a Satellite A210-1AO running Windows Vista.
Since a couple of months, or a recurring questions arose: at random times the laptop gets lines across the entire screen. The lines aren't straight, they're more like following the shape of the image (so * they change according to the image of the screen *) and are in color (I think mostly green, but not sure). I often turn off the pc then and the next time I turn it on is fine. Once, however, during the closure, the screen went white but the pointer/cursor was always visible.
The incidents are more frequent. Once, I tried to unplug the charger when it happened and lines began to blink and be even more worrying, so I plugged the charger while I turned off the laptop.
You have any ideas what might trigger such behavior?
On the virtual path that is not easy to offer accurate diagnosis but I think the graphics card is the troublemaker and I m afraid that it will be even worse in the future.
Graphics card is part of the motherboard, so a kind easy fix or replacement is not possible.

Satellite A210 - 1AO PSAELE - black screen problem
Hello.
I have a strange problem with LCD on my Satellite A210-1AO. Sometimes LCD does not work. The problem is only at startup, only not on closing LCD display or sleep mode. If I connect an external monitor - there is a picture, but with strange random points and lines. But if I remove the battery and the power adapter and leave the laptop for hours - after all can work very well (for days or weeks, even at startup). And then the problem reappears.
Where could be the problem? Card video or LCD or something else?
> If I connect an external monitor - there is a picture, but with strange random points and lines.

I mean that the higher temperature could affect the GPU (graphics chip) that cause this lines and points
It wouldn't be unusual.Updating the graphics driver, what would you say?
You use the Toshiba page?
Do it!I've got A210 with an ATI GPU, and everything is OK!

Satellite A210-1AO: sometimes the colors on the screen become unnatural
Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 1AO two months ago and collided with a following problem.
Very rarely (once a week) on the screen colors become suddenly against natural.
The problem even if it means opening / closing of coverage.Really the material damage?
The problem is rarely enough.Hello
I m an owner of a portable Satellite A210-10Y but I didn t notice a similar problem; running under Windows XP OS or using the Vista.
I don t want to publish stories great but perhaps that the problem of color could be linked to the issue of the material.
Maybe part of laptop as displays, FL-ups or graphics card would be malfunctionsIn my view, a check of laptop would be useful and I recommend you contact the ASP.
If your warranty is the replacement of any piece of material must be covered by warranty.PS; Updating the graphics driver, what would you say? Did you use the latest graphic drivers Toshiba?

Satellite A210-1AO: modem are not not in Device Manager
I bought toshiba Satellite A210-1AO part number: PSAELE-03Q009G3 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
There are a lot of unwanted software from toshiba (bloatware) and I wanted a clen of OS windows vista installation, so I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba europe web site and update bios version 1.90.I installed vista and the driver necessary, video, recorder, bluetooth monitor, flash media... I realized that this modem is not listed, when I try to install modem driver progress bar if poster and work until the end and then disappear but modem is not listed in Device Manager.
After many tests modem is still not present or detected by the operating system.Mention that I have not any exclamation point in Device Manager and all devices are installed.
I tried to go back to the old State with toshiba recovery cd and's done it without problem but modem is not present in that too much. BIOS does not include an option to turn on or turn off the modem, so I don't know if it's the new 1.90 bios problem or what?
Else this medication works very well.How to activate the modem? modem port is of course present.
Are you 101% sure that you see the modem in Device Manager?
I have a 10Y A210 and in Device Manager, the modem is listed below the mouse and other pointing devices.

Satellite A210-1AO - RAM max support
Processor: AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60/motherboard: IAALA LA-3631 P/RAM complectation: 2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB, DDR2 RAM 667 MHz/Vista 32-bit.
For the optimization of the system PC Max RAM can I replace inside? And don't ship / suits after that (for optimizations purposes) last installation (8.1, 10) Windows edition and type of system architecture 64-bit on this PC?
Satellite A210-1AO (Psaele)
According to the specifications of the laptop , your machine can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM.
Initially, it has 2 x 1 GB inside.I recommend you buy 100% compatible memory modules and Kingston is one of the best options for you. Compatible 2 GB of RAM for your Satellite KTT667D2 part number a / 2G.
This old machine was designed for Vista, but it works perfectly with Windows 7. He is not taken in charge for Win8/Win8.1 so, in my opinion, there is no sense to install it.
Drivers, tools and utilities for the supported operating systems you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

Can satellite A210-1AO - I use SSD drive?
Can I replace the original HDD with ssd HARD drive? And where can I found the DSS Satellite A210-1AO drive compatibility list?
I doubt you can find a list of the SSD compatible discs for Satellite A210 since the Satellite A210 where not tested and not equipped with these drives
But as far as I know, there is not much difference between the use of the common SATA HDD or SSD SATA drive.As mentioned, the laptop supports the SATA controller and you can use an SSD designed for SATA controllers
Usually this SSD drive should be ok.Welcome them

Need the original BIOS for Satellite A210 - 1AO PSAELE
Hi all!
long in vain looking for the original BIOS for my satellite A210-1AO PSAELE-03Q00FRU (Vista32bit preinstalled).
Unfortunately I've updated and laptop lost the ability to disable.
VERY noisy DWD - ROM (TS-L632H) through the BIOS (but it worked without a doubt with the original BIOS)
It is also impossible to turn it off through the Device Manager (tried several times).I looked for BIOS anywhere where I could (Yes, I tried to download & support from Toshiba for Europe, USA, Canada, China, Russia - no. satellite A210 PSAELE BIOS in lists, even for the A200 PSAELE).
Written in support of the Russia of Toshiba - no result. the point is that I don't know bios original version for my model, so I tried BIOS version 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.3 - no result.
The latest idea is to physically remove the DVD-ROM, but it is the solution.So where can I find that BIOS? or you recoomend a truly customer friendly toshiba can support office?
Thanks in advance!Hello
The Toshiba driver page provides us with all versions of BIOS for Satellite A210/A215 (PSAEGU/PSAELU)

Satellite A210-1AO - support SATA2 hard drives?
I have Toshiba Satellite A210-1AO and I want to spend her hard drive.
It does support SATA2 hard drives?Hello
Disks hard SATA2 can be used in every laptop or computer with SATA interface. The new SATA2 interface has the same connector and downgrade compatible. This means that SATA2 is faster, but only in theory. Hard drives are not fast enough to achieve these speeds possible.
In addition there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface you can buy what you want and have fun with the new HARD drive! :)

Satellite A210-1AO is hot & needs drivers XP
First of all, I ask forgiveness for my English. I am originally from Ukraine, and my knowledge of English is not very good.
1. my Toshiba Satellite A210 1AO is very hot and I want to know, - is this normal?
I know the Turrion AMD x 64 processor can warms up and so I do not know to do something.2. I want to install Windows XP on my laptop. What kind of driver I need to install after installing Windows XP.
I mean, whose devices cannot operate without pilots?Thank you.
1. check if there is no dust blocks the outtakes of hot air, so yes, it is just to use a compressed air spray to clean.
2 go and visit this page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & downloads)
Select your model laptop and the XP operating system. You will find all the drivers and utilities you need. To check if there are any devices that can not install Windows, just go to control panel - system - device manager. Check all the devices with yellow exclamation points. If you're lucky, you can find out which device it is, but often not.
I suggest to download the drivers and install it.

Keys is de-energized or gives wrong output. The problems occurs randomly, either right at startup or afteravailability. Looks like it's a hardware related issue and not a problem with the OS. The problem occurs in several OS´s and even in the BIOS-meny. None of the solutions posted in this forum / other items solves the problem. The battery is not a solution (as suggested in other posts), the problem reoccurs after
availability and sometimes even right to restart the computer. (Et laisse le visage, un ordinateur portable sans une batterie est un _stationary_) =) No! It's not overheating and heat issue, this problem may occur at startup after a powerdown complete with battery and power removed.

I use the lates for my model BIOS, so make a habit/flash-update of the bios to solve the problem.
Default factory restore is not a solution either, but _différemment_ ive tried, even if this problem most def is a hardware problem.All the other solutions suggested by other posters solves the problem (most of them software related bugs in any case).

The problem started recently enough (ive had this laptop for about a year and a half) and judging by the other posts in this forum seams problem began on the same date/time to a suspect that he is a "calendar/clock" related question... but I'm not an expert and it's just a hunch (would explain why some users may experience a temporary "I solved the problem by changing keyboard-calendar" - euporia until) what they ecounter problem once again after a time of). The problem arises _completely_ radom and under any given the cirumstance...

The links that you post are not related to the A210 but L670 laptop model and it was reading about L670 and the problem has been resolved by the BIOS updatedI have a laptop A210 and this issue never happened to me.
I installed Win XP, Vista and Win 7 on the Satellite A210 and keyboard is ok.You have already updated the BIOS and fact laptop recovery and this didn't help?
OK, so it seems to be linked to the keyboard and the AEP from Toshiba technician should check what -
Satellite A210-1AO does not start
Hello
I could use a little help. My 4 year old A210 1AO worked perfectly until today (except to change the HARD disk a few months before). Tonight, I tried to turn it on, but almost nothing happens. The light 'on' is on, the battery the power and light also, but I get no image. The fan is running (and after a few seconds goes out, as usual), ODD jobs, and that's it. I tried to start it without the RAM modules, without the HARD drive and nothing has changed. I removed the battery and you press the 'power' for 30 seconds, still nothing. And the curious thing is that now powers the laptop too using the buttons 'media' and 'browser '.
Does anyone have an idea what could have happened?
I should also mention that I took good care of the laptop, used a big laptop cooler with a 20 cm fan and used mainly to watch movies and surf the internet (for games and other stuff that I use a PC)Any idea will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advanced,
AdrianFirst of all its pity to hear that your laptop no longer works.
I don t think that Flash memory USB flash BIOS might help you.First the laptop must turn on even if the BIOS is not being updated so I think it s not BIOS issue permanently.
Secondly, you said that you tried to start the machine without memory modules
You should try to start the machine with memory inserted in the slot and should repeat this with two modules in each location.But to be honest, I'm not very well if it would help you it looks like a serious hardware problem and possibly the motherboard is affected: (m

Need drivers for Windows XP / Satellite A210-1AO (PSAELE)
Hello!
I want to install Windows XP on my laptop. I tried to find the drivers for my model on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/ and found that 6 (3 updates firmware + 1 updating BIOS + WIFI + Bluetooth Stack). Where can I find the other drivers?
I also tried to find drivers for the A100 series - there is a lot to her. Maybe I can download drivers for other A - and set them on A210-1AO?
Thank you
Hello
Several XP drivers are not available for this A210 PSAELE series.
But don t give up buddySome other A210 models were equipped with the same features and so XP drivers went out to other laptops can operate on your A210.
I think you should just try to reinstall certain drivers and should test
