Installation problems after upgrade the HDD on Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)

Hello

I've recently updated my Satellite Pro A120 with more memory and a larger hard drive. The memory I installed is 2 x 1 GB Module (DDR2-667) and the product number of the hard drive is MK2035GSS.

My computer recognizes both of these upgradges, but since their installation I was able to install all applications (for example Norton Security etc) on my laptop - they seem to spend 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in which the installation process and then just quit smoking and become insensitive or an error message appears. I even tried to put the product recovery disc to try and erase everything and start over but even that does not load in entirely. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Also, I get messages of constant error on the screen and it blue screens and restarts frequently.

If anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause, I would be extremely grateful for any help!

Thank you very much

Hello

just a question, than to the manufacturer that are the memory modules? And similar modules? Or do you have that you have installed other modules later.
We can exclude the HARD drive because it doesn´t HARD drive installed. they do not cause bluescreens or similar. In very rare cases, the disk HARD COULD cause errors, but then the pladder or BSOD´s must be REALLY damaged and in your case, the HARD drive is brand new.

It might be, that memory modules are not compatible with your machine. To avoid these incompatibility issues, you must use the modules of well-known such as kingston and toshiba brands. (I'd rather kingston, they work like a charm in my A100 Sat :))

Would appreciate comments on your part.

See you soon

  • Problems after updating the BIOS on Satellite Pro P200

    I recently buy a Satellite Pro P200 running Windows Vista Business. Yesterday, I updated the BIOS to the version 1.50 supplied with the machine to 1.80 available on the Toshiba site. I double checked that I was using BIOS correct update for the Pro P200 Satellitel running Vista.

    After updating the BIOS, I have now two problems:

    1. whenever I start and join the office, I get an error message "record of Vista has stopped working". This problem has been identified as toshibavistaregistration.exe here: [link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99805]

    2 Control Panel > system now shows the processor and the memory (RAM) as "not available". Execution of the diagnostic PC Toshoba tool and looking at basic information show also no information on the memory (RAM) Although the processor information here. There may be pieces others missing too under the eyes of list shorter than before the update of the BIOS.

    Basically, I want to get everything working again as it should, but cannot find any information on these issues.

    After further review, it appears that the update of the BIOS is not the cause of the problems.

    Immediately after updating the BIOS, I had a major system crash. It turns out that this is what has caused problems.

    After a system restore to a point before the update of the BIOS and the major system crash, now everything is working again with BIOS version 1.8 in place.

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E) - TV problem

    Hello
    My laptop "Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)" computer does not connect to any type of TV (digital or analog). I tried many different kind of connections to SCART-VGA to VGA-HDMI. I think something is wrong with the VGA output because apparently the Intel graphic card supports the TV/monitor output as the software driver suggests. However, I can't connect the laptop to an external monitor rather easily and without hassle.
    Someone there has the same problem and if so, do you have a solution to this problem (everything!).

    Thank you

    Hello

    As far as I know NOT ALL Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E are equipped with the video output jack!
    I see you are using an external monitor connector!
    This port can ONLY be used with external display (screen) or a projector, but NOT with the TV!

    The TV can be connected to the s-video port that is not available!

    By the way; all laptops with an IrDA port use a common Microsoft Windows driver to run the IrDA port.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - PSAC1E Modem Driver WinXP

    Hello everyone,

    I have Satellite Pro A120 - PSAC1E and I'm looking to WinXP Driver Modem, can someone tell me where to get it?
    I tried to download driver for this model on the site of Toshiba, but with no luck to find the modem driver that I have found to reset the drivers.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi dude

    The modem driver was published on the European driver Toshiba page.
    I'm sure because I checked the pilot site and found all the necessary drivers for XP and the modem in the Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1 driver download area.

    May I ask if you have installed the drivers of Toshiba in the right order?
    It is very important.
    Backgrounder statement instillation on the pilot website shows you how to install all the drivers.

    Just a note; You can install the driver for the modem from Device Manager.
    You must mark the unknown device (modem) and have point to the driver files that have been unpacked in the downloaded modem driver package.

    All compatible Toshiba laptop parts can be ordered from the local ASP.
    The service allowed in your country could order such a part of Toshiba if it would not be in stock.

    But as far as I know the Satellite Pro A120 needs a * PA3092U-1ACA * AC universal adapter that takes in charge 15 V, 4A, 60W.

    Try to search for this part number on the net and I m you can find deals.

  • Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1A-073004) replacement battery

    I have a 3-4 year old Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-073004) who needs a new battery as the current within 10 minutes of the available battery.

    The current battery in the laptop's manufacturer PA3285U-3BAS a Toshiba 6 cells Li-ion primary battery.

    However, after contacting several local Australian retailers, they tell me that Toshiba has discontinued this particular part number.

    Are you able to advise me if this is indeed the case?

    If so, could you suggest the number of part of an appropriate substitute for the main battery?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I don't know the situation in Australia, but I can't imagine Toshiba ceased production of this battery.
    Put this number in Google and you will find many shops online in the world where you can order this battery.

  • Audio lost after upgrade to Vista on a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E

    Hello

    I just upgraded to vista and I lost my audio. I tried all the latest orders, still no luck. The pc says the driver is installed and the device works correctly, but I can't hear anything. Volume is 100% also.

    Any ideas?

    Well, first of all how someone should provide advice, if you n t write anything on the name cell phone you! ???
    Then please provide more details on your laptop!

    I noticed the same problem on the satellite U200. After upgrading from XP to Vista there is no sound, but the audio driver has been correctly installed and audio chipset has also been recognized correctly.

    After a long investigation, I found a solution here in the forum.
    First, it was important to increase the volume to the maximum with XP installed. Together sound controls must also be set to max.
    Be sure to use the RIGHT driver sound after the new installation of Vista.
    Not all drivers are working!

  • Behavior of cooling after only the BIOS Flash - Satellite Pro A300

    Hello everyone,

    I have two laptop computers, Satellite Pro A300 Satellite A300. Both have the same configuration, C2D E8300 2 GB, ATI 3650 512 MB and so on...

    Today I flashed BIOS to the latest version (from V3.90 to V4.20) on both of them. Version 3.90 cooling was OK, fan worked only when it was necessary. But now after that flashing the BIOS fan runs constantly, he does not stop.

    What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    My question is, what is the problem with cooling in the new version (v4.20)? And how to fix this?
    Yet once again, the problem did not exist before flashing the BIOS and the problem is on both computers.

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards
    Osman

    > What I did in Vista under Toshiba Power Saver Power Options, I changed the cooling method of maximum Performance to optimised battery, reverse cooling operation, but coverage (keyboard area) has become a bit warmer.

    I doubt that there could be something wrong, I want to say that you said that after changing the method in cooling Toshiba Power Saver, the fans don't run all the time
    Usually the cooling modules are controlled by energy savings and the BIOS contains only the table fan.

    Keyboard of my laptop or on the left side of the laptop becomes too hot because on this side, you find the cooling modules that blow hot air

    Nothing so unusual...

  • Can I upgrade the CPU T2310 Satellite Pro L40 - 15A series laptop PC?

    Hi, (I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I search 'Satellite pro l40 series' I couldn't find any relevant response)

    I've been looking around the net & found contradictory answers to this question so far, so I hope that this forum may be able to help.

    I have a 15 D portable computer Satellite pro L40 and I want to upgrade the processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1 GHz 1 MB 800 CPU or something similar.

    I found the following issues http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html

    "f consider you a CPU upgrade, there is not a lot of options." The Intel GL960 value express notebook chip supports only up to FSB 533 Mhz processors. So, does not allow most of the Core 2 Duo CPU update (with 667 MHz). "

    But then, I also read that the GL960 can run 800 MHz processors?

    I also asked the question on ebay to the seller of the CPU T2310 & received this response

    «SHOULD be OK, but your T2310 533 Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800 Mhz.»

    Motherboards intel more modern should easily accept a 800 mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. May be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40, also with 800 mhz chip, because it would be a good indicator.

    And if I can't pass a T2310 because of the 800 mhz too is their a 533 mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production that my current Ghz CPU T2310 1.46.

    I've only had this PC 4 years again, it seems not to be very mobile friendly if this resource could not be designed to handle upgrades.

    Thanks for the tips.

    Problem is that upgrading the CPU is not taken in charge and everything you do is at your own risk.

  • Upgrade the screen on Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 and I am very happy with it. However, I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the screen for a full HD, one? And if yes, can you point out some retailers to do this, instead of the United Kingdom.

    I did a quick search online, but couldn't see anything. Currently deprived of sleep with my studies, so I'm not myself confidence haha.

    Thanks in advance.

    Fraser

    As much as I know these upgrades are not taken in charge and it is not as for me that Toshiba offers several different screens for each laptop model. In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask if a different view can be used on your machine. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can verify this.

    In general the laptop is as a sort of package of different hardware components. Some of them have the best hardware configuration and cost more than one sort of standard notebooks.

    Until you bought your laptop have you checked specification of the notebook?
