• Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
  Does anyone no what I can do?
  Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

  Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
  If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

  Please provide more info. You see error messages?

• Satellite A30 PSA30E - battery won't charge

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop ((n° de pièce = PSA30E-00E5-FR) and recently when plugged in, the battery is not, in fact he tell Chargers.) When the laptop is turned off, if you plug the battery icon orange lights and charges of battery, but when you start the laptop to halfway through start orange icon battery turns off and the battery won't charge. If you start the laptop just using the battery once it is in place and ongoing enforcement if you plug the nothing happening for example the battery charge orange icon does not illuminate.

  The power is always on the laptop the screen stays on its setting of intensity, but the laptop turns off when the battery runs down to 0%.
  I removed the battery and tried power the laptop just using the power grid, but the laptop does not turn on.

  Any ideas what wrong?

  If it is the battery which batteries would be compatible with my laptop to replace and how do 2nd hand/battery cost these days for my laptop?

  My battery model number = PA3250U-1BRS
  K000002280

  I found a battery on a site that resembles a Toshiba Satellite A35 (don't remember if it's A30 or Pro A30) - looking at the Toshiba Satellite A35, it's the same as my Toshiba Satellite A30 it would be compatible?

  Thanks for your time...

  Hello

  Eventually it s a battery but problem is just a suggestion.
  I do not recommend buying a second hand battery because second hand battery will discharge a lot faster.
  In my opinion, you should buy a new one.

  I googled a little bit for PA3250U-1BRS and found a few deals online, it seems that you can get it for 50-60 euros

  Regarding the battery A35.
  I think that it should be compatible with your laptop. The A35 is a Toshiba US series (A30 is the European model) and it of very similar to A30.

• Satellite A30 PSA30E suddenly turned off

  My A30 satellite seems to work ok as long as the air can move freely under the fans. When the power is low and you plug it in, it turns off after about 5 minutes. You must charge the battery and remove the sector so that it works without going out suddenly while you're busy using it. All solutions? or the reasons why. Did the last update of the BIOS.

  Hey guys,.

  Maybe you should do the following:

  Take a can compressed air to an electronic market, blast, some air trough the vents of your laptop and try if your machines are chrashing... sometimes simply it s one with cpu clobbed dust fan and and a clobbed cooling system, causing problems like yours.

  It s worth a try...

• Satellite A30-PSA30E Intel 2200BG wireless problem

  Hello
  I bought the new wireless card intel 2200BG miniPCI for my Toshiba laptop. I have card connected to the miniPCI slot free and both cables are connected as well.
  My problem is that this hardware switch on the right side of my laptop does not work (no led light). The original Intel software is posting I have material activate this card. Can you help me please?

  Hi Michael

  I hope that you have connected the card properly. The white cable must be connected to the HAND and a black to the power supply please check if the card is recognized and properly installed. The status is displayed in the Device Manager. The wireless adapter should appear under network adapters.

• Satellite A30 (PSA30E - 1896C-EN) what wireless card

  Hi all
  Having rebiult my A30, with your help, I'm looking to install a wireless card. The user manual says: "Mini-PCI card. But does not specify the size (and yet some providers seem to have different sizes for the mini-PCI). Furthermore, by reading the existing threads, they seem to suggest keeping an eye on "n" standard (forthcoming).

  Can you describe the key points that I have to watch out for when buying this wireless card for this laptop, please?

  With gratitude, Robin

  > User manual says: "Mini-PCI card. But does not specify the size (and yet some providers seem to have different sizes for the mini-PCI).

  Mini-PCI slot is a standard interface supported by all hardware manufacturers.
  There are no sizes different mini-PCI! There could be a mini-PCI or PCI slot.
  However, the user above posted a WLan card reference number. I recommend googoling for this issue in order to find the right wireless network card.

• Satellite A30 PSA30E cannot start properly - PXE - E61: Media Test Failure

  Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
  I decided to use the recovery cd to format my laptop and do a clean install, because it became very slow.
  It takes an age to start etc.

  I followed the instructions on the leaflet that was packaged with the CD and everything seems to work very well.
  The files seem to be loading but after abuot 7-8 minutes (about 15% in the process) is an error page came with the following.

  "For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8138/ 810 X PCI.
  PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
  "PXE - MOF: PXE Rom of output.

  I noticed that the power supply has been very hot and the bottom of the computer was also very hot so perhaps thought that the power supply is maybe defective. I had an another same PSU so tried again with this.

  Same problem again!
  Do you think that the hard drive is faulty? I haven't noticed any problems before, except for the slow response generally.

  I would be grateful for any useful comment.

  Hello

  This message usually if the laptop cannot find a bootable device and finally tires to boot from LAN.
  But if the boot to LAN is not possible then the message PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable would appear on the screen.

  Generally, this will happen if the HARD drive is not accessible (dead or defective) or the laptop cannot boot from the disc.

  I think that you should first check if it would be possible to solve this problem by using a new HARD drive.

  Goodbye & good luck

• Wireless driver does not work on Satellite A30-PSA30E

  All the ideas that is suitable for the above model driver, I downloaded about 5 drivers wireless on the site, but none seems not to work.

  What do you mean with the driver does not work?

  Do you have an error message or what?

  Have you checked if your laptop supports a minPCI wireless network card?

  If your mobile phone does not support an internal WLan card then you will not be able to install the WLan card driver :) very simple

• Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

  Hello

  Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

  (a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

  (b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

  (c) who knows what else could go wrong

  I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

  Someone at - it ideas?

  David

  Hello

  First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

  OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

  But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

  I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.

• Need new BIOS for Satellite A30 - 404 to upgrade to a larger HARD drive

  I want to install a new (larger) disk on my Satellite A30-404.
  He says have Bios version 1.80.
  I probably need more recent (since it was purchased in 2003).

  Y at - it a newer version for this machine?

  Hello

  Latest BIOS version can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Currently, the version of the BIOS 1.80 is available and published for the Satellite A30 PSA30E.

  By the way; a more recent BIOS will not help to use a bigger HDD!
  The point is that your laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
  Since the ATA-5 interface supports the 28-bit LBA addresses you should be possible to use Max 128 GB OF HARD DRIVE. I think that this is the maximum size, which is possible.

• With Satellite A30 power problems

  Hello

  Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

  Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

  These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

  Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

  Thank you

  Ben

  Hi mate,

  had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
  But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

  I guess that the motherboard is gone...

  That's all

  See you soon

• Satellite A30 213: broken in the power supply pin

  I have so many problems with this.
  I'd rather put it in the trash than to fix it, but unfortunately I have important documents that I have not saved.

  Basically, the PIN into the Jack of the laptop is broken and I can't be able to my laptop and my battery is running out of power

  The battery is in the battery-compatible A30 - 213 in the A30 714?

  And someone has other solutions?

  Please answer as soon as possible

  Hello

  First of all a few words about the battery.
  If I m not wrong not the Satellite A30 213 uses the same battery as the A30-714.
  Therefore, you should be able to use the same battery in both units A30.

  With regard to the question on another solution.
  Well, there is only one real solution. The power supply needs to be replaced.
  I m not sure if it s only plugged or soldered on the map. However, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  This should be always replaced by a mobile technician because the dismantling procedure is very delicate and difficult.

  Best regards and good luck

• Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.
  I found some Chargers compatible with laptops Satellite A30 on another site, but they are quite expensive (about £55). Another less expensive option?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
  a wrong voltage or whatever.

  I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

  My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

  Cost: $ 37

  After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
  Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
  If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

  You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.
