• How to change HDD on Satellite Pro 430CDT

  Can someone tell me where I could find simple instructions telling me how to take apart my old 430CDT to mount a hard drive more? I think replace drive 1.25 GB - with a 4 or 6 GB hard drive assuming the disks that I may need to adapt.

  I guess that the hard drive is hidden somewhere under the keyboard, but may not work on how to remove + that + without damaging it.

  I have no real experience of this sort of thing - I did nothing more complicated than the new fitting RAM to a less-ancient A120 and change hard drives around on a Satellite 320.

  Archives help, unfortunately, but it's fun to read old press releases and ads and see what was considered as performing just twelve or thirteen years - progress in the design of the computer are fast enough, isn't it? Aware that in a couple of years something with less of a terabyte of HARD drive and a quad-core processor will be also awfully outdated and limited my old 430 you like now.

  Absolutely no reason practice for this - just out of curiosity and just for fun.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated - thanks in anticipation!

  LAN installation is very easy.
  First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
  In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

  Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
  Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

• Question about change in ODDs region settings - Satellite Pro A120

  Why are there at - it limit the number of times, you can change the region settings when you watch DVDs from other countries? Why?

  They don't realize the world becomes smaller and is it possible to buy DVDs from anywhere in the world? They refuse to help the global economy? I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 with a carpet * a UJ841S optical drive that is locked on region 1, how can I get it unlocked and how do I get it so I can watch DVD so many different regions without having to be limited to the region of switching 5 times? Of course, I'm not the only person who feels this way, come on Tosh do something to help the consumer.

  Can anyone help?

  Published by: ADMIN

  Hi Paul

  What to say I put t understand this too, but there are some restrictions of manufacturers of different record companies and movie studios that don t allow you to change the region code.

  The world is divided into 7 regions of DVD.
  Region 1 - Canada and the U.S.
  Region 2 - Europe, Japan, Middle East and South Africa
  Region 3 - South and Southeast Asia
  Region 4 - Australia and South America
  Region 5 - Africa, the Russia and the rest of Asia
  Region 6 - China

  Readers of generation original DVD came with a firmware level that became known as RPC 1.
  RPC 1 discs themselves are able to play any region but depends on the installed Reader software to control which region is played.

  But most DVD players (* not matter what is manufacturing *) are equipped with the RPC-2.
  RPC 2 drives usually come with a limit of 5 change on the regions, once the counter reaches 0, your drive is locked permanently in the last region it was settled in.
  Even if you reformat or move the drive to another system, it will be always locked to the last region.

  Such a region code limitation is very annoying for everyone, but nothing to do
  Of course you will find many websites that provide any software programs and free non-legal area, but for the most part, these programs can damage firmware own disks and this would lead to bigger problems. In most cases readers cannot handle all mediums and can not read or burn to CD/DVD.

• Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

  I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
  Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

  But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

  Does not seem to want to go.
  Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  One question; Why are you doing this?
  I mean why you want to open the notebook?
  Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
  If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

  The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
  Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.

• How to turn on a microphone on a Satellite Pro A120-161?

  Data sheet: Satellite Pro A120-161, already Win XP Pro, now Vista Business.

  The microphone works in Skype, etc. The sound is coming from a computer and record is fine (I can play stuff I recorded before).

  But I can't get the computer to play the sounds from the microphone in real time (as for karaoke). There is no table for the device called a micro mixer, I can not resolve, or reactivate it (it doesn't work in the two OS' are). He was made easily on the other laptop I've had...

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I'm sure that you use the external mic because according to the specifications of your Sat Pro anyone internal. I can't test it on my laptop but I'm sure that you will not be able to send sound to the speakers directly.

  Have you used an internal microphone or external on your previous laptop model?

• Satellite Pro A120: How to set a resolution of 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 on external monitor

  Hello

  I'm considering buying an external to use with my Satellite Pro A120 monitor. The laptop has a Mobile Intel 945GM chipset and it doesn't seem as if I can choose the resolution that I would need a widescreen (1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050), with its menu of graphic properties.

  Is it possible to put one of these resolutions so that I could use an external display, or is simply not an option?

  The drivers supplied with the monitor would be likely to help him?

  Hello Thom

  Unfortunately when you have factory settings you probably won't be able to use these resolutions. I put t know if it's because of preinstalled driver or limitation technique graphics card.

  You can try to install the driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card and see if it will work (Intel or ATI). Just testing everything.

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro A120?

  I have a Satellite Pro with a system password, when I started, I asked Mr. password I was its power off for over a year now, because the number 9 key was stuck in position, so I couldn't even try to type a password.

  Two days ago, I've corrected the keyboard. Now the system will just to the point where it asks for a password but I don't know anymore, I tried more than 40 passwords I've used in my past.

  So I ve open. Removed the battery during the night. no use. I've read on this forum about the keydisk, parallel dongle. Don t have a parallel port, or floppy disk. I also read another post on this forum about a brand under the RAM that needs to be grounded and I found no such thing.

  can someone help me please? There must be a jumper on the motherboard as well.

  The system is a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120

  Hi Rob

  I know that you are so happy to pay for it. Friend of mine has paid 60 Euros for the removal of the BIOS password.
  Anyway, please believe me you can not do anything alone. Sascha is right when he wrote about the different ways for the removal of the password and your model has the worst. I mean it can't be deleted so easy.

  Your laptop uses a sort, I'll call him, code stimulus / response. Service must send a code specific to the seat and wait for the response code. If the code matches the code deleted challenge the BIOS password cvan.

  Thus, there is no way to be removed from your own.
  Sorry mate :(

• Satellite Pro A120: How can I identify the disk - bar codes?

  I had my hard drive stolen at work with all the things my company on... The person was taken, but the police want to show me its mine, everyone in my office has the same confidential files.

  My question is: among the labels of codes bars on my hard drive... is one that would connect to my computer?
  Or is there something that can be sound from my computer?

  The computer is a satellite pro A120

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I'm no expert, but I think that something like that does not exist. HARD drive is the product of mass and also one Extensible parts on every laptop.

  I must say that the previous user has the right idea. If you use the password to protect your operating system, it may be the best evidence for you.

  Hello

  Bought a satellite pro A120 "Intel centrino duo" in January and for the last two weeks, the fan runs continuously. Even when the cold portable OS, it runs complete but even just word processing or done yesterday it runs very hot. I need to access the fan to have a look for dust etc but I couldn't for access!

  If anyone knows how that would be great. Either that or somebody can suggest any way to stop the laptop gets so hot. I tried on mode low power - without change, and it also works on different surfaces, but no change.

  Any help much appreciated. Thank you

  Hello Dougie

  In my opinion you should not do much and check anything because your laptop is new and under warranty. If something is suspicious to you, please contact your dealer local or much better is to contact directly the authorized services.

  Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

• Satellite Pro A120 has network problems

  Mr President.

  I, Jayarajan.C.N, working as an Assistant Executive Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala, India.
  We had a laptop brand Thoshiba (Satellite Pro A120 type; PTA83L-08L02N model number; SL.no. Y6131B1488H) as part of a package of type brand MD - 2000 Tesient relay.

  We use this laptop for other official purposes also. It works smoothly.

  But we were faced with the following problems:
  1. we could connect the computer laptop in Local Area Networking with other desktop computers and laptop. But we could not transmit or receive data from the other computer.

  2. we could connect us the laptop to the network in ad-hoc mode wireless and the laptop showed the link as 'excellent '. But as in the case of LAN, data may not be transferred or received.

  3. we tried to use dial-up modem to the laptop. But we do not have internet access. The error showed was 'busy line (error 676) '. In fact, the line was not busy.

  4. we checked to access internet using Reliance Netconnect USB modem after installing its software. He also failed in showing the "username & passwords are wrong in this area.

  5. I added an init string in the Toshiba modem commands: AT & FX1. But before that, I made a mistake. I installed the Client Services for Netware. After that, the connection mode was changed. But I don't know how to uninstall "client services for Netware". I selected the account control user - change the way users log on or off, I received the following message: "client for Netware has disabled the display of welcome and quick user agrees." To restore these features, you must uninstall client services for Netware. As I said before, I don't know how to uninstall the same. Now during log on, I have to use ctrl + alt + delete to log on.

  After you have added the string init AT & FX1, I have only seen the modem trying to catch the net until the "veryfying username and password. But he could not catch the net. Please note that I had installed the client services for Netware. I saw that the modem has been "connecting" even after a few minutes and I noticed the system reacted very slowly.

  In short, we cannot achieve any type of networking and by error logging has been changed...
  We ask your advice detailed without delay.
  Thanks in advance.

• Re [lacemant 'Master' IDE Slimline Optical drive Satellite Pro A120

  Hello

  I am looking for a replacement CD for a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (laptop) drive.
  Been reading about this for awhile as it does not work I tried all IDE slimline drive replacements.

  From my research, it requires a slimline IDE optical drive is "rider" to master.
  Like its slimline there are select no riders while I am aware that they are made as master or cable.
  They cannot be changed by flashing the BIOS or to make a weld, or they can be bought like that.

  As I need a new in any case I would rather buy one that is guaranteed to be compatible.
  Does anyone have an idea how to tell if slimline optical IDE drivers come as master or cable select?

  Or a place to get the spare parts?
  I am also in England.

  Fine thanks
  Dan Gent

  > If only the people who make the readers have access to the file, I could use to Flash the ODD with?
  Perhaps. Always is it that you need a compatible software/firmware that would change these settings.

  > What is an ASP? Active server page ;^)
  Authorized Service provider/partner

  > Is there any where that I could buy a master drive set?
  You could try to buy a second hand car which has been mentioned in the user manual.
  I downloaded from the Toshiba page and found these drives:

  Panasonic UJ-841BJTJ-J DVD
  Panasonic UJDA770TB-A
  TEAC DV - 28TH - RT4
  TEAC CD 224TH-NT4

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)
