• Satellite A30 303 keyboard does not work

  When I type something with my keyboard without characters appear on the screen. I've tried to sort by reinstall the keyboard drivers, but this makes no difference. Please, can someone advise?

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to give you any adequate explanation why this happens. In my opinion, the only thing you can do is to preinstall the device with the recovery media. If the problem persists even is the faulty keyboard or there may be a problem with the contact.

  Try to remove the keyboard from the Device Manager, and then restart the device. As far as I know, there is no special driver for keyboard and it is automatically recognized by the operating system.

• Satellite A30 - 303 unplanned shutdown?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Satellite A30-303. Somehow, independent programs open in Windows XP (Home, Pro edition, tried both), computer laptop unexpectedly shutw down, stop immediately. No message from windows, no errors of any kind, nothing, just the way it went.

  It's very strange. I have read all of the instructions, did the bios update to 1.80 (dated Sep 15) and still the same thing.

  Fact checking for viruses, all firewalls security and it did not help at all.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello Hakan

  Please check that the machine not too much heat! The symptom you describe is exactly that of a machine overheating. Check if the fan is running continuously before stopping. Also check that there is no dust in the cooling of the machine module.

• Update the BIOS on Satellite A30 303

  Having a Satellite A30-303.
  With no intern work DVD.
  Have a usb DVD boot.

  I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu. I need execute a .exe.

  Or if I can take a floppy and run the file BACK.

  Hello!

  For the Satellite A30 only one based on windows BIOS update is available.
  I think this will not work on Ubuntu and install Windows to make this update.

  Normally on Windows systems, you need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe file and start it. That's all.

• Recovery of my Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  My Satellite A30 303 needs to be recovered that XP is constantly hooked and crashing and I would also be able to create a partition with a distro of linux on it, but the problem is that the DVD - RAM drive no longer works, and I was using a DVD-RAM external for awhile drive LG GSA - 2166D to read and write CDs , but I can't get the laptop to start this device as it is USB. Is it possible to boot from this device, or is it an another workaround?

  A big thank you to anyone who can help me.

  Hello

  Don t waste time and start don t try from the external USB CD/DVD drive.
  It's just not possible!

  The BIOS does not support a boot from the USB WEIRD. The BIOS supports disk HARD, the ODD, the LAN and USB FDD as devices bootable but not CD/DVD USB drive.

  You have no other choice as to buy a compatible CD player and internal support.

  Of course, you can try to boot from LAN, but it's not very easy and you will need to configure a RIS server.

• Satellite A30 303: error of calibration on power mat * a UJ-811

  Hello, I have a problem with my satellite A30-303.
  I am trying to record CDs and DVDs. A month ago it gives me an error at the end of the recording. The error is 'Power Calibration Error'.
  How can I solve this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Toshiba Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  I read some of the comments in this forum about power calibration error and it seems that usually only the drive replacement will solve the problem.
  One reason might be poor quality media like CD/DVD
  But please check out this site:
  http://forums.Afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/93406

  But if this error occurs with all CD/DVD media, so in my opinion, the drive should be replaced

• Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

  Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

  I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

  Null value

  Hello

  It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
  It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

  But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
  You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

  Hope I could help a little.

• Should I use IDE or a SATA HDD in a Satellite A30 303

  Hi there, I was wondering what HARD drive I can get for my laptop A30-303 because the old is dying today being a machine for 4 years, so I would like to upgrade. Y at - it a maximum size of the machine, or I can put in any size of HARD drive?

  Also the HARD disk doesn't have an IDE or SATA interface?

  Hello

  As far as I remember the Satellite A30-303 PSA30E series came with a 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5). This means that you need to use the HARD drive that supports an IDE interface!

  But note; not all HARD drive sizes are supported. There is a BIOS HARD disk size limitation.
  I'm not sure on the compatible HARD disk sizes but in my opinion, you should be able to use 80 GB, 100 GB of maybe too.

  If you want to use, for example the FN + F3 or FN + F2 you need preinstalled power saving.

• Satellite A30 - 303 - drivers for Windows 7 that I can use?

  Hello!

  I just installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A30 303
  What drivers and updates download for it? I can't find any information on this topic... also toshiba detector program cannot identify my laptop...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think it might be a little difficult to get Windows 7 drivers for this good old classic... The point is that Satellite A30 isn't designed for Windows 7, then you the way simplest are using Toshiba recovery disc where all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

  I can only find Windows XP drivers on the Toshiba site, so in my opinion, it would be the best choice for this laptop.

• Satellite A30-504 modem does not

  Hi all

  Old old old Satellite A30 504 my father had problems of modem for quite awhile. Here are the symptoms exposed:

  Modem is recognized as "TOSHIBA Software Modem AMR" and classified works correctly. However, when you query the modem, I get the following message:

  + The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional. +

  Settings of resources:
  Range of e/s-2400-24FF
  E/s series 2000-207F
  IRQ 7
  (I can't change any of these settings)

  Needless to say that the modem does not work.

  Has anyone ever met such a problem before? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I really don't want to get a PCMCIA modem for this laptop, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you in advance!

• Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

  Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
  I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

  I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

  This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

  Hello

  It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
  Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
  Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

• Help: Satellite A30 101 of electricity

  Hi Tom,

  Thanks for the comments miss the *.dll error message. Let me tell u, when I first go to the menu Tools of system I see "scan disk" function isn't here. I'm looking surprisingly it wasn't there. Can you guess what happens?

  When I try to uninstall the "Toshiba Power Management Utility" as you suggested, it tells me that the source is on the web. I cheked the CD of tools, the toshiba power Saver is empty. The installation program asks a (package) MSI file which I can't locate from the CD and the web. What should I do?

  Please help me. I am a new user for laptops and know very little about hardware/software.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Well, this seems odd. If you open "My computer" and right-click on Local C: drive (or whatever you named it), then select properties from the drop-down.
  Click on the Tools tab. There should be a section called 'error checking '. Is that not available on your system? This system is offered by your business or is your private laundry?

  They all give 404 error trying to download.

  No idea where you can get these drivers as it is the laptop is a bit useless without at least some video drivers and wireless.

  Hello

  It seems that the driver could be downloaded again.
  I could download drivers for Satellite series C55 - A.
  I guess there was a temporal server problem that seems to be resolved now.

• Satellite A30 303: no update firmware for drive UJ-811 H100

  Hello!

  I have model witch toshiba A30-303 have mast * one optical drive UJ-811 H100, I have this laptop for over 2 years and I have strength to find any update on this drive I n even know if this company exists (matsu * a).

  I've changed this disc about 5 or 6 times with a new period of warranty due to reading problems.

  I'll be happy if someone knows something about the update of this player

  GEIA sou Taso,

  Matsu * one is the same company that PANASONIC which is more known for us. The UJ-811 is a quite old model (3-4 years) and very well known problems.

  You forgot to mention in your post...
  (1) exactly, what is not working on your disk (writing? read?) DVD? CD? Movies?) and also
  (2) why do you think a firmware would solve your problem. (he has none)
  (3) how often and for what purpose do you use your car,.
  (4) and finally to what type of physical environment (home? mobile? dusty?) that you are using your laptop.

  Be aware, that optical readers get very easily breakable, especially when it is used for watching/rip movies on them or access the drive streaming of games. Another possible reason would be a wrong installation / incompatible software on your PC that can cause the drive not to work properly (or even disappear).

  You can try to 'clean up unused software' on your laptop and also to put a soft recovery to check, if your CD drive will be properly again. If the problem will not go away, you need to exchange it for a different brand new maybe even one (it was 5 times that a PANASONIC drive is broken?  ;)). If you are a heavy user of DVD player (movies, tearing, Burning, blah) you should ALSO get yourself a USB external... they hardly ever get broken, are faster and more reliable, and are much less expensive to replace. One of my friends who had already 3 discs replaced in his book could confirm as the best solution.

  Kind regards
