My Satellite A105 is waste of time

Hello

I have a Satellite A105-S4094. Last week, I noticed that he lost time. He has been trolling for more than 30 minutes each time.

Anyone know why this would happen and how to fix it?

Thank you
Terry

BRIXX may agree. Connect your laptop to the power adapter and leave it 48 hours connected to the power supply.

The BIOS battery may be empty.

  • My Satellite P100 (PSPA3E) waste of time

    Hello!

    For example: if I turn off Monday 17:00 and put it on the next day 12:00 time is still between 17:00 and the date is also incorrect.
    Sometimes the time is set automatically 2 hours in the past.

    So with this machine, it is only a year and a half old.

  • Satellite A105-S2051: common Module not found. This configuration will be terminated

    Hello

    I installed Windows XP but when I try to install any utility (like the Hotkey Utility) I get the message:

    TOSHIBA common Module not found. This configuration will be terminated.

    I can't find the "Toshiba ACPI common Modules for Windows XP" on the Toshiba web site. I tried the web site in English,

    I tried every single link in the support for the Satellite A105-S2051 page.
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    There is nothing like the Module 'common '.

    I have lived a great incredible waste of time while searching for the reader.

    So please, any help would be welcome.

    Hello

    I found Toshiba ACPI common Modules for Windows XP (Toshiba value-added Logic Device) in some different sets of Satellite A105.

    For example: A105-S271 A105-S2711 A105-S361 A105-S3611, A105-S2719, A105-S2712, A105-S2713, A105-S2716, A105-S2717

    Go for no apparent reason the A105-S2051 is not there.

    However, try the Toshiba ACPI common Modules of different A105.

    Maybe the latter won't work.

  • Satellite A105-S2141 - software compatibility problem Modem region

    Hello!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2141 computer laptop bought in the United States. I am currently in a small country knowm as "Maldives" and unable to successfully connect and use the modem connection.

    The selection of region internal modem utility does not include the Maldives in the list and if I select a random country as "current location" I can connect only if I keep the speed of the modem at 2400. What should do? I tried the upgrade, but no uogrades are available. Other computers can connect normally on the same telephone line.

    Kindly advice. Is there another available modem which can be downloaded? Any other loophole?

    Post edited by: Luke_1

    Hello

    You don't need to use this utility select region of preinstalled modem.
    You can choose the Maldives using own settings of Windows.

    Choose Control Panel-> Phone & Modem Options->-> my position (Edit button)-> country (Maldives) dialing rules

    On the Modem tab, you can choose the modem you are using and can check the properties. Here, you can set the maximum port to a higher speed.

    Cheers and enjoy yourself on Maldives... big Islands... I wish that I would have enough time and money for the holiday he...

  • Subject: Driver issues in Satellite A105-S4064

    I recently had to wipe a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S4064 of my fiance because of many viruses and spyware. I did the reinstall with XP pro. She had none of its original CD that came with the laptop, so I had to try to download all my drivers on Toshiba USA website. I was able to get the wireless, LAN, and Audio devices installed successfully by pilots on the Web site. I am only able to find a NVIDIA driver on the Toshiba site but when I try to run the setup it's just errors out because the display device is not a NVIDIA product.

    The thing that got me really confused was that I checked Device Manager before I wiped the initial installation and the display driver that was listed was a Mobile Intel (R) 945 GM. I went on the Intel site and downloaded their Intel 945GM Express chipset family drivers but the following devices still have points of exclamation mark next to them in my device manager: display the device software modem and mass storage device driver. I searched high and low on the Toshiba site and cannot find the drivers that appear to work correctly. Can someone help me find the drivers I need to get the last of my devices installed correctly? Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate your help!

    You are right. I checked the specifications of the laptop and it is listed Intel Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Chip. I really don't understand why the NVIDIA card is listed on the download page.

    In any case when you want to install the drivers, you must follow a sequence of installations. After the installation of the OS, you need to install driver chipset first. After doing this display driver installation. Continue with sound, modem, and LAN driver.

    According to this order of facilities, everything should be OK.

  • ENERGY SAVING does not work! Satellite A105

    Please read very carefully, as I tried to make it as detailed as possible. I had this problem before, and when I installed the new BIOS driver, it fixed itself. I'm not so lucky this time. Also, please AVOID recommending to use my recovery CD, because I know, it is possible to solve this problem without it, and the restore CD is the easy/practical answer on how to solve this problem.

    OK, so I just installed the new BIOS software, and now my TOSHIBA Power Saver won't work. I use a Satellite A105-S4284 on Windows XP SP2. When I start the computer, I get this message:

    TPSODDCtl.exe - Ordinal not found
    The 21 ordinal not found in dynamic link TPSMainCtl.dll library.
    Ok

    I know that this refers to the power of Eve, but I don't know what to do about this.

    In addition, I searched other forums on this issue. When I open the control panel and switch to Classic view, TOSHIBA Power Saver icon is there. I double click on it, and I get this message:

    Cannot open, as "TOSHIBA Power Saver" is not running.
    In order to run it, please open "Power Options" in the Control Panel, then choose "TOSHIBA Power Saver" in the list box "Power schemes" on Page "power schemes".
    Ok

    I open power options, and toshiba power sleep mode is already selected. I tried to apply another and switching back, but this did not help.

    I tried to reinstall both the power of Eve AND the common modules on the site of TOSHIBA drivers, and which did not help. I tried to uninstall the energy saver all together, and I get this error message:

    Cannot locate the Setup log 'C:\Program Toshiba Saver\uninst.isu. Uninstallation will not continue.

    I opened the saving folder in the location above, and there are two files: TPSTrace (a plain text file) and TPwrSetup. $$$ (Note: the ' $' are not mistakes, that's what he said). The plain text file contains this message:

    A fatal error has occurred. The program will end. Code: 0x45A location: TPSDel.cpp (230)

    Help, please! Thanks in advance for all time!

    Looks like something in your system is really messed up. Because you won´t be advised to recover your machine, so I can't give you any suspicion because that would REALLY be the one and the only option to solve this problem.

    If some software Toshiba uninstall NOT etc then it won´t repair itself, or it can be sorted out by re-installled or force too install apps...
    Maybe you make you a few remarks and then save your files in order to recover your machine?

    Would be the best method. Otherwise: good luck!

  • Re: Satellite A105 stops after 60 seconds (NOT a heat problem)

    Satellite A105-s4344 stops after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo was removed from bevels and all devices removed unnecessary (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with those well known. AC adapter / CC exchanged and battery by the well known. Does the same on the AC or DC inputs only.

    I have not yet flashed the BIOS (at 60 seconds, that would be silly). But, I'm looking to replace or flashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0

    I don't know what heat genration detection using this system, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you don't know that I'm referring to).

    Before reballing North and South of the bridge and flashing, I thought that I would get feedback from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)

    P.S. the first person to ask what OS I use will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my list of respect.

    > P.S. the first person to ask what OS I use will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my list of respect.
    :) :) :) Best thing I've seen in this forum.

    Back to your problem.
    I'm not a technician but this is just my opinion on all of this. The fact is that after your laptop on CPU switch in seconds only reaches very high temperatures. You can turn on your laptop and just enter the BIOS settings and the same should happen again.

    I can't say for sure if it's 100% thermal or not question but what else can be responsible for decommissioning? CPU will be warm in just a few seconds. Significant change structure with temperature change and I can only imagine a contact will be interrupted.

    On this forum, we have had many reports similar as when portable cold starts and works well, but after that little time is off without reason. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it sounds like heat or deliver bad contacts. Let's see what other people have to say about it.

  • Satellite A105-S2101 - can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

    I have this laptop Satellite A105-S2101, and the LCD breathed on me in two years.

    Fortunately, I can still use the VGA and S-video output but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, no longer is I can watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it will not accept VGA or S-video as default is just my broken - up, good for nothing always blurry LCD anyway.
    It's only when I'm in Windows mode can I switch to an external monitor.

    The reason I'm writing is, if it is necessary to add anything to an EMP update - this is the time and it would be something to add. What the devil?

    Have you tried another player?
    I prefer the VLC media player. He plays the most video and audio files, it s freeware and easy to use. Check it!

    Have you changed something on your hardware or software configuration before this happened?
    Maybe it's time to reinstall the drive Media Express

  • My Satellite A105 is trolling

    I have a Satellite A105-S4074 and we work badly lately, I did not install any drivers or program. The problem is as a 'delay' in everything I do. I noticed that when I was listening to music or when I started a program that has sounds because they cannot be read fluently.

    I have this problem windows starts slower that it usually does. I had this problem once and the solution was to reinstall windows. I wish that any solution that you can give me. Thank you for your attention.

    Hello

    To be honest, I also think that the new installation of the operating system is the best solution. Especially if you don't have enough experience with the operating system.

    This time, you can try to optimize the HARD drive activity and run the Disk Defragmenter tool. You can find it under start all programs accessories tools drive system Defragmenter.

    Please mark the C volume and click DEFRAGMENT.
    After you have finished, restart your laptop. Please post the results. There are a few more things you can of but we do this step by step.

    Good bye

  • In Satellite A105-S2236 RAM upgrade problems

    I'm working on a Satellite A105-S2236 for a customer. She has Windows Vista Basic - and did not come with 512 MB of RAM, so it is very slow. I went by Crucial and got another chip 512 MB for this computer - after installation, it shows again that 512 - I tried to change the chips, each chip individiually running into the two slots to see if 1 chip or locations did not work, and everything works fine - except with 2 512 chips - it shows more than 512 RAM.

    I spent some time on the phone with Toshiba - bascially for them to tell me that the motherboard is picky and will not recognize 2 different brand of chips of RAM. 2 chips are quite identical features except the one who came there is Samsung and the new is Crucial. I can't believe they don't work together.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You won't believe me, but many people have reported the same issue with the essential modules. The best thing you can do is to return and buy products known and of good quality. If you want one, order the module of RAM Kingston. They will work for sure.

    Homepage of Kingston. You can find a list of all compatible RAM for your laptop model.

  • Satellite A105-S4164 problem new Bios

    I recently updated the Bios ACPI BIOS Flash version 5.90 for Tecra A7/Satellite A105 (Intel) (PTA70U) and restart, the computer hangs at the Toshiba "in touch with tomorrow" screen. I can press F2 to load the utlites system but it loads just forever and nothing happens. I can't close F12 to enter the boot menu, it does nothing, I can't get another screen where it tells me the version of the bios somehow and I can press F2 to get into setup but it restarts right after a long time on the toshiba screen. I am now just leave this sit hoping it will start after a long period of time.

    So, is there something wrong or should he take this long and if there is something wrong how can we all fixing, or reinstalling windows?
    I run windows XP pro and don't have a CD that came with the computer.

    Any advice would be a great help thanks, Sean

    These problems occur if something went wrong in the BIOS update procedure or if you used a bad BIOS and update bad procedure.

    In most cases, the common user is powerless you can do anything!
    All you can do is contact the ASP in your country for a fix.

  • Re: Satellite A105 - recovery DVDs cannot start

    Hello

    Satellite A105-S4064 my boss was a serious problem, the only solution was to do a restore of the operating system. I have inserted the first DVD and started the process. He then asked for the second disc, after some time, there was an error that it could not continue.

    After another chance, I got a new error when I start with disk 1, the error was "NTLDR is missing", then I tried with a different Windows XP CD which also impossible to format the HARD drive.

    The HARD drive would be defective beyond repairs? Please help me, summer work on during these last days. Thanks in advance

    I agree with you and think that this problem occurs due to faulty HARD drive. Try to get a new one and start installation of recovery.

    You have done the right thing and tried OS installation with facilities of Microsoft CD, but you can see that the problem persists. It must be because of faulty HARD drive. I really don't see any other explanation.

  • Satellite A105-S4274: need driver ethernet XP & screen is sometimes black

    I recently reformatted a Satellite A105-S4274.

    He has Xp SP3 I can't find the correct Ethernet driver.
    I installed all those on site pilot Toshibas to this model and stands still as no driver in the Device Manager.

    I also noticed that sometimes the computer goes black screen on me.
    Do not fall asleep, but go just black. Any ideas on what causes this?

    Maybe the driver problem?

    Hello

    Driver Ethernet means both: LAN or WLan.
    What device is already listed in device-> network cards Manager?

    If the LAN card is already listed then you need WLan card driver.
    If the wireless network card is listed then you need to install the LAN driver.

    With regard to the black screen.
    This happens if you touch the laptop for some time t n?
    S notebook my screen password if I put t touch for a while.
    I put the settings in Toshiba Power Saver-> screen and the screen turns OFF after 10 min.

    1 work dosent Touchpad, but I'am not really taken worth on this subject because I use a mouse anyway.

    The biggest problem is that off, he starts up again on its own.

    Sometimes, when the captain is restored it restarts itselff, sometimes not.

    But will always be with battery. Resulting in a dead battery.

    Have looked everywhere in this specific problem with no luck answer so have resorted to a new thread. If anyone can help, so thanks in advance. exact model, Satellite A105-S4547

  • The battery is not satellite A105-s4364

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-s4364 (winXP) year. 6 months later, my battery won't charge and no power at all. I even if the battery is bad, so I just use my a/c. 2 months later, I bought a new battery (it has 40% of the power when I buy).

    So I install the new battery and the battery light on, I am that everything will be ok. 4 hours later, I disconnect the a/c, the a/c & battery light flashing and still says 40% of the battery power. This means that only a not charge my battery.

    So I went to the Web from Toshiba site, they said the need to update the Bios to correct the problems. So I installed the new Bios software. But it does not solve my pc.

    Still does not and can not turn on my pc with battery, that means it will not turn on if I just plug the a/c (before no need to turn any time with battery).

    What I do now, first install my battery, the power light and connect the a/c, but the light will be off about 2 seconds, so I need to plug the a/c in 2 sec.
    The very bad, it is does not charge my battery, but my pc needs the battery to turn on and now the battery has only 11% of the power.

    I don't know anyone use Toshiba, so nobody can't help me to charge the battery.
    Anyone know how to fix or has the same happen b4?
    Very needing help here, hope you guys understand what I have said here.

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    > 2 months later, I bought a new battery (it has 40% of the power when I buy).
    It's very strange because of my knowledge, the new battery must be completely empty.
    In any case, according to the details in your ad, I think supply electronic books could malfunction.

    It's very strange:
    > What I do now, first install my battery, the power light and connect the a/c, but the light will be off about 2 seconds, so I need to plug the a/c in 2 sec. The very bad, it is does not charge my battery, but my pc needs the battery to turn on and now the battery has only 11% of the power.
    Usually, you should be able to turn on the laptop using the AC adapter only.
    The battery should t be necessary and you should be able to use the laptop without the battery also.

    I think that the battery and the adapter must be checked first place and if the two parties would be authorized technician must check the electronic power supply.

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest at this time.
