Keyboard with Tecra A10-112 problem

• VT is enabled on Tecra A10-112

  I am considering buying a Tecra A10-112 and I need to know if the VT instructions are enabled. It's a question mark or break for me because I want it to load 64-bit virtualization. I don't think it's as simple that if the processor supports, the BIOS must support it as well.

  I had problems before with a purchase of an Acer to find out that they had, apparently, voluntarily disabled the VT instructions and provided no way to turn them on and no way to upgrade the BIOS to allow their use.

  I use vmware on a Linux host, if that helps anyone to answer, but I don't think it'll make a difference.

  Thanks for your time

  Got an answer to my own question, so I'm just posting in case anyone else is interested.

  I just spoke to a very helpful guy called Andy, on the line to support UK. He said that Yes, it supports 64-bit virtualization. It was also very confident I could find Toshiba equipment superior to what I had owned previously. I hope it is correct.

• Tecra A10-112 - cannot use 8 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my TECRA A10 - 112 PTSB1E (Windows 7 and Server 2008), when I upgrade to 6 GB ram (1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB), there is no problem what so ever (52 MB hardware reserved + 5700 MB useful) Windows.

  But when I go to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) I get material dedicated to the memory of 4297MB and 3129MB of memory used (under windows) and I can not find how to reduce it to 6 GB levels. The bios sees 8GB, windows detects the 8 GB and the fact CPUID. I tried to update my BIOS on Toshiba support site, but I get "Computer not supported" message when I run the update file, I downloaded at Toshiba.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hello

  It would be interesting to know which modules of memory you use exactly. You use the noname or high quality, e. g. Kingston modules?

  Maybe the modules are not fully compatible, so you should test the other modules.

  Also, what program/tool tells you this information on reserved hardware memory? If the BIOS and Windows recognize 8 GB, everything should be ok.

• Tecra A10-112 views

  Hi all

  I want to start by saying that I am an installer Toshiba phone systems. As this part of the corp, I am well impressed with their products and services. Nothing is big or inconvenient for them to process. As I was installing their systems I thought Id get a portable Tosh as well, it would do well for the customers and they have a good rep in the company...

  So, I bought a Tosh Tecra A10 112. It arrived today and to be honest, it was not cheap. I had only read a study on this subject yesterday after I bought it and it has not been too positive. But I want to make my own choices. I took it out of the box and to be honest, I was not blown away by the generation or the feeling. He had looked old and not much astonishment. That said, that he is not been bought for looks. So after hours of travel on some programs and files that I have to say it works well. His young, I love the Tosh software and overall, I'm impressed.

  The only part that really disappointed me was the screen. I thought it was a real brite and compared to my Toshiba laptop screen not expensive with a version of bright true terrible Tosh looks: (.) Nobody knows why they chose this screen? It seems that it is one of the few in the range of tosh that does not have this? If I like the thinking no, I am a little let down. Its only 2 things, but the look and the lcd screen... Anyone who has an opinion on this? Like I told her for installation systems and configuration of systems high definition CCTV is not to impress the ladies, but I would have a bit more for the price range of 1000 +...

  Hello Eoghan

  This laptop model is known to me and I want to just give some comments about it. Generally Tecra series belongs to the business notebook series. This series has also different Tecra products as a series, M-series or S-series. The difference is probably available Interfaces, RAM and HARD drive.

  In my opinion the a series is the lowest in this group. What laptop a company must offer the user? She has to offer:

  -very good and stable construction
  -flexibility in the use of different operating systems (Windows XP Home, Vista edition)
  -data protection
  -accessories and options as the second battery with a higher capacity HARD drive and so on.

  All that you ve to go with your Tecra. I understand what you mean with wow effect, but for commercial purposes the most important factor is reliability and not design. I think Toshiba A10 Design makes a notebook with classic look and it can be taken anywhere. For me, Toshiba has done very good job.

  WOW effect is specific for Portege series and also for the portable multimedia Qosmio.

  So I think that you have laptop bargains with a classic but attractive look.
  TrueBrite display is very interesting point. I noticed Toshiba didn't offer this form for several different Tecras. To be honest it is unclear to me that any Tecra is offered with TrueBrite screen.

  In the end, I wish you good luck and a lot of fun with your new toy. ;)

  Good bye

• Re: Request for help with Tecra A10-156 (Vista backup media)

  Dear members of the Forum

  I am the owner of a laptop Toshiba Tecra A10-156. As the owners of this model will be aware, the machine is supplied with Windows Vista pre-installed. Also supplied is a recovery of Windows XP Professional disc, which, once loaded on the machine, remove everything on the hard drive, including the operating system Vista and the Vista hard disk recovery partition.

  The documentation that comes with the laptop warns the user if he wants to take the Windows XP program on the computer, it must burn a DVD of backup software vista before you load the XP image because if it loads Windows XP without doing that then he loses everything to do with VISTA on the machine.
  Unfortunately, when I bought my machine, I did exactly this error and load Windows XP without backup Vista Software. Load the XP dvd, hard drive was completely wiped out, including not only the Windows Vista installation, but also the recovery partition.

  Although windows XP is a good operating system, I would like the ability to restore my machine to the factory setting. When I asked what to do with Toshiba, they said that the only way they could help would be to sell me a backup DVD of Vista recovery which would cost me a little money. (more than thirty books).
  They also mentioned that if I could find another owner of A10 - 156 using vista would be ready, they could burn a DVD using their recovery from vista machine and then I would be able to use this DVD to do the job.

  As I know personally of all other owners Tecra A10, I am writing to make a plea to ask if some A10-156 (it takes as the exact model) owner would please that nature to let me have a copy of VISTA backup medium please. Of course, I'd be more than willing to pay a total amount of the Virgin DVD (s) and shipping costs.
  If someone is willing or able to help should I very grateful indeed and hope to hear from a fellow A10-156 owner as soon as possible.

  Yours sincerely
  Ian in the United Kingdom

  I hope someone here can help and maybe you should put your e-mail address for direct contact.

• Tecra A10-112 - Windows Experience Index 3.4?

  The WEI score is 3.4 with all default settings. The details are the following:

  Processor: 5.4
  Memory: 5.1
  Graphics (office performance): 3.4
  Games graphics: 3.6
  Hard drive: 5.2

  I know that the integrated graphics card isn't help the score in any way. Toshiba A300D-15 b with AMD CPU 2.1 scores 4.8 which has a graphics card dedicated.

  Do not play games, but the disappointing thing is that the performance of office are less than the score of the game.

  Now the question is do I seriously take WEI or the integrated graphics (Intel GMA 4500MHD) is quite good for the time being and for Windows 7?

  Please take into account the fact that A10 - 112 has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 and I think to the graphics card integrated is no match for this resolution in particular with Vista, what you think?

  Hello

  To be honest I think nothing of it. The Windows experience index is ok, but in my opinion it s not really significant.

  But some values are interesting;
  As much as I know graphics performance score Office represents s graphic performance of the system using the Windows Aero Desktop feature. As you've experienced the Aero needs a lot of graphical resources and in my opinion, this value is lower.

  But generally the Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD isn't bad.
  Graphics memory (performance) can increase the upgrade of the main RAM.
  Thus, for example Vista 32 bit OS:

  RAM 1 GB - dedicated video memory = 64 MB - system memory shared = 158MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 286MB
  2 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 702MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 830MB shared system memory
  RAM 3 GB - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory
  4 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory

  Vista 64-bit OS:
  RAM 1 GB - dedicated video memory = 64 MB - system memory shared = 158MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 286MB
  2 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 702MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 830MB shared system memory
  RAM 3 GB - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory
  4 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1631 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1759 MB shared system memory

• Re: Tecra A10 - USB problem on the port replicator

  I have a Tecra A10 and sometimes, when I work with her, the devices USB stopped responding if they are connected to the port replicator.
  If I connect them to the laptop, they work fine.

  I tried to update the BIOS but now when I turn on the laptop it freezes when Toshiba red letters are displayed on the screen. I can work with the laptop properly deattached starting from port replicator.

  Have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS after the update?

  If you have external devices connected to the laptop they remove and try again in the duplicator.
  Maybe you should also update your laptop chip set driver. You can find them on the Toshiba site.

  What type of problem do you have when you insert the SD card?

• Tecra A10 - 112 - the lid seems to be loose

  After the earlier disappointment with the keyboard, I turned on the computer to perform more tests.

  When I open and close the cover the cover of the screen seems to be loose.
  Do you have the same impression too? It certainly doesn't feel like any other laptop I've used in the past.

  Hi dude

  Found your topic. and all I can tell you is that if you think that it is a hardware problem, then you should contact Toshiba service partner allowed in your country (as already suggested in another thread).

  In my view, the screen should t be loose and therefore control of the laptop is recommended.

• Keyboard with Qosmio G40-108 problems

  Hello
  I have a problem with the keyboard trying to enter text. While typing I put funds, or emails or any where on the computer typing stops.
  I have to re-click in barely end I'm typing.
  It happens every time I have press the SPACEBAR key tab and enter the return key.

  All third party software is supposed to be compatible with vista. I had real problems with Qosmio G20 for 14 months, which eventually led to me have replace it with this machine.
  Other than typing I havnt had any other problems yet.

  I don't want to go back but can't seem to find a lot of online help

  Hi Symon

  To be honest, for me, it is not easy to understand what problems you have, but it will be interesting to know if you have type the problem using the Windows Notepad or Microsoft Word. Or even if you type something to open the window Internet explorer, like passwords, or perhaps the mails.

  Third party software you can be sure that everything will work perfectly.
  For more questions you can, during the initial contact, your local dealer. Maybe they can better understand exactly what is happening.

  The FN keys need to installation of common Modules and Hotkey utilities for display devices.
  Common modules must be installed first!
  Also I recommend the update to the BIOS too

• Tecra A10 - change of resolution with Docking Station problem

  Hello

  I own a Tecra A10 - 14Q and I like it a lot - it is a very beautiful piece of hardware, including the functionality of UMTS.

  When the Tecra is moored to the dock Express, and the external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 22 "with resolution 1600 * 1200) is on defining the Office to be cloned on both screens, passes resolution of 1280 * 800 on the Tecra to 800 * 600 as"best resolution.

  I tried Intel and Mobility Center graphics settings, but I can't find a way to set I want to keep the resolution 1280 * 800.

  Suspicion to do so automatically is welcome. I found that a program that now lies on my desk that I run so it redefines the resolution to 1280 * 800, but I would like to stress that resolution remains just that it is.

  Kind regards

  YaGru

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why the resolution automatically decreases

  But sometimes, if the external monitor would be connected to the Tecra A10 directly without using the Express Docking Station?

  Otherwise the problem could be linked to the dock Express (Replicator of port express?)

  Maybe the 1600 * 1200 resolution on external monitor is too high for the express port replicator and so there are some questions which s my personal suggestion
