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.

  • Equium A210-17i does not supply power to the top only with the power adapter plugged

    Equium A210-17i turn on when the battery is missing, but the laptop is set to the power supply dc?

    I have a dead battery and the laptop does not light with or without the battery inserted.
    The food came out 19v as it is supposed to.

    Also no led lights on the laptop when the power is connected and there is no sign of life at all by pressing power buttun.

    Thanks for any response.

    Hello

    The laptop must also lights up if the battery is not inserted.
    If the adapter is ok and if it s connected to the laptop, then the power led should be lit and it should light up.
    This led indicates that AC adapter provides power to the laptop properly.

    But if the LED turns OFF then that would mean that there is no power, and in this case the laptop will not turn on.

  • 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!

  • How to access password protected external HDD PX1267E - 1 32

    Hello

    I just gave me this USB external drive to my parents who have been given by someone else, however, it is password protected and it does not meet the password factory. Is there a way I can be protected, or should I just trow away?

    Thank you

    What does the password exactly?
    I mean what is the meaning of the data protection if it would be so easy to get around password.

    Talk with your parents and try to communicate with people who give the HDD to your parents and ask for password.

  • Equium A100-147 would not start

    Equium A100-147 would not start. Only the lights next to the CapsLock F10 F11 keys are on. When the switch is pushed the lights disappear back only after about 15 seconds.

    Help, please.

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for 30 seconds. Wait a few moments, connect the power adapter only and try to start your laptop.

  • Black screen suddenly on Equium A210-17i

    The screen on my Equium A210-17i will sometimes just completely black, although always backlit. This happens usually when the computer is left on during a fairly long period of time (tonight after 3 hours) when using it.

    When it happened tonight I just internet browsing. It's happened several times, and the only way to recover whatever it is is to turn off the computer with the power button. My friend who also has the same laptop also has the same problem, and although it occurs about once a week, it's always boring. All solutions?

    It s certainly nothing wrong with you material
    I read that this problem could be related to Windows Vista bugs too

    Then all first of all you need to update the Vista for the last State.
    Then check the driver for graphics card for updates and * then you must update the BIOS if a newer version * is available

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  • Equium won't start - how to access the recovery partition?

    Hi, my sister has a 2008 Equium A200-1V0 with Vista 32-bit, that no longer starts (probably due to damage of rootkit virus). It loads the BIOS but then goes to black screen with blinking cursor.

    F8 does not work.
    F2 goes to Phoenix TrustedCore Setup utility. The Toshiba hard drive and a CD-ROM drive are listed in hand and start in the right order.

    Using F12 I can get it to boot from a Win7 64 bit repair disc that I burned using my laptop.

    However, it does not recognize the operating system or any image or restore points (because it is 64-bit) but he will be responsible for command prompt.

    To * guest *, I can launch Notepad and when I click on file / open and double click on computer it shows 4 Hard drives as follows:
    Local disc (c :))
    Data (d :)) 42 GB free of 54.5 GB
    WinRE (e :)) 1.11 GB free of 1.46 GB)
    Boot (x :)) 29.0 MB of free space of 31.5 MB (which is used by the repair disk)

    So the C: drive is listed, but without ability.

    * CHKDSK *.
    CHKDSK c: /r and press return

    «The type of the file system is NTFS.»
    Unable to determine the status and version of the volume. CHKDSK is abandoned.
    Cannot transfer messages saved in the journal of the events with the 50 State.

    * Run TESTDISK *.

    Analysis:
    Size of the partition start end in sectors
    1 P Windows RE (store) 0 32 33 191 89 26 3072000
    2 * HPFS - NTFS 191 89 27 7477 118 1 117051392
    3 P HPFS - NTFS 7477 118 2 14592 190 62 114307072 (data)

    * = Primary bootable
    When you perform a quick search, then P - list of files, the second partition it reports:
    "Cannot open the file system. Filesystem seems damaged. »

    So what I want to do is boot to Windows restore to drive E.

    My question is for Toshiba experts: If F8 does not work how to use the recovery partition?

    Laptop is:
    Part number: PSAF5E-002005KS
    Main features
    -Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor T2310
    -Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition
    -Drive DVD Super Multi (Double Layer)

    > THIS ISN'T MICROSOFT, TOSHIBA, AND GOOD PRODUCT DESIGN.
    I really put t know that should do better than to place the Microsoft sticker at the bottom.
    This product key and sticker on it's just proof that you purchased the machine with an operating system preinstalled and legal active OS version. This key belongs to original OS (recovery image) that you got with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that you can use for the activation of the operating system if you have made the decision to install the clean version of the OS.

    In General, this key is totally useless. While your computer you've got legal copy and this version, that you can install so often desired. It must not be enabled.
    > So my question still remains: can I recover my Toshiba laptop using this restore partition?
    If you want to recover using the Toshiba recovery image response is not. Cannot start HARD drive recovery facility.
    > Even with a dvd of Windows Vista is genuine, I can't reload the OS
    In my opinion you need make the clean OS installation using the clean installation or order original Toshiba Recovery disk on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx disc and install original (already active) recovery image.

  • Equium A210 - 17I PSAFJE - Lan and Wlan don't work running Windows XP

    Hello

    I recently received this A210-17I (PSAFJE) for Christmas, but to my dismay, it was not compatible with most of my computer games, I decided to downgrade to Windows XP, after reading about how I could do this, I decided to do it myself.

    So far everything works great, with the exception of 2 factors.
    The controller Ethernet and RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor, which appear as unknown devices in Device Manager.

    I installed ALL the drivers for download from Toshiba for this specific model page and I have operational including graphics and sound rest.

    The WLAN adapter is strange for me, I downloaded this driver: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6& Conn = 5 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = true (the bottom one for Windows) and it seemed to install OK with the provided setup.exe. But the device is still unknown, and it will not install if the folder "Update Driver".

    I have no idea what to do about the Ethernet controller :(

    Thanks for reading.

    * EDIT: Fixed; D *.

    Looks like you have already decided to install a compatible driver of LAN and WLan.
    Am I wrong?

    It of good to know that the problem is solved
