• Need good driver WLAN for Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I hope someone can help.
  I have a SAT Pro A100-570 (psaa2e). I had to wipe the machine. So I put on Windows Xp.
  At all the missing drivers on the support site, but I can't find the right wireless driver.

  There are 2 on the support site that I downloaded, but did not work.
  Any help would be grateful.

  Thank you

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop has Atheros WLAN card.
  The driver must be available on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
  As I see there is Atheros driver for Windows XP Home edition. This is the version 7.7.0.233.1

  Download the procedure for extraction of the start end driver. Let the downloaded TC00147200C.exe file extract all driver files to a TEST folder on desktop.
  After extracting the file open this folder and you will find inside the folder called XPDrv. open the and run setup.exe from there.
  You can install the driver with this setup.exe file?

• Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

  Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

  Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

  I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

  Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A100 - CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Manager of peripherals and BIOS

  Can Hi anyone tell me what is wrong with this laptop?

  The problem is im using my DVD - ROM drive and it stops working. I went into Device Manager and it wasn't there and it was not in my list of drives. I went and checked the BIOS, it is not listed there either and the BIOS pick up all get them is check the cable or the conection.

  Would be grateful if some knows what happened or if my hard drive is gone.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If the CD/DVD drive is not listed in the Device Manager and BIOS, it seems to be defective and must be replaced.
  What do you think about this?

  You can exchange the car yourself. Check for a compatible CD/DVD Player user manual or go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can order a new drive to swap.

  Sorry, but if the drive is not listed in the BIOS seems to be defective.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

  People,
  I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
  It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

  I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
  That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
  He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

  I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

  I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

  Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
  Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

  Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
  But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
  However, nothing is impossible.

  What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.
  Nice to have these community users :)

• Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAC) DVD-RAM UJ - 841S cannot read audio CDs

  Sat Pro (psaac) DVD-RAM UJ - 841S will not read or play the audio CD
  Everything else works fine but put in any audio cd and nowt.
  Help?

  Hello

  As you know, each CD is compatible and supported by each optical drive.
  Can I ask you this and audio CD don t work? These are original audio CD or burn one?
  You should know that many new audio s CDs come with copy protections of different and sometimes it happens that these CD s are not readable.

  But we must first know if need all options are enable. To do this you must enter the properties of the drive and check if the option enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device has been activated successfully.

• Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
  Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

  Best regards

  Thor Hedderich

  Hello

  In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
  If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
  These hard drives are so cheap.

  Is that enough for you?
  Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

  The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
  -Remove the HARD drive cover
  -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
  -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

  I guess you know now how to put a new.

• Satellite Pro A100 carpet * dvd uj - 841 s write at very slow speed

  Hello.

  The carpet * a dvd multi drive uj - 841 s that came with my satellite pro a100 written on very slow DVD. Firmware 1.50
  I use good philips and kodak media (both rated 16 X).

  now, I know that the drive is only rated at 8 X max. But I can't even reach 6 X.

  A firmware update would solve this?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  To my knowledge, some burning applications control the burning speed to obtain the best possible results from burning
  As you probably n t know the speed of combustion higher risk of burn errors
  I burn my DVD only using a single 1 x speed.

  Then I can be sure that all DVD players would be able to play the burned DVD.

  I really would apreciate if someone can help me solve this issue.

  > During a game for half an hour, the screen darkens and a second view later, I get a blue screen.
  Well, my first thought is that this problem is related to the graphics driver.
  I mean it could be a software problem.
  But I know that a BSOD can also occur if the graphics card chip began to malfunction.
  In your case I m not sure what could cause this problem. But to play a game, that the GPU is running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature rises to a higher level the GPU can also cause a BSOD.

  Anyway, first of all, you must check if the graphics card driver update could solve this problem.
  Maybe you could use a driver from other websites but please note that this is ONLY possible at your peril!

• Carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841S does not recognize movie DVD on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A100-PSAAPE.

  Initially the played DVD movies very well, but now it does not recognize DVD movie at all.

  The drive itself is recognized and works very well with recovery DVD and CD-ROM.

  Phone support: they had me reinstall the driver and boot from the recovery DVD. This does not solve the problem. They then said to do a system restore. Tried, but it seems that the previous restorations of system are in themselves unsuccessful and the restoration of the system that has worked has not solved the problem.

  MediaPlayer and Intervideo WinDVD seem to work well, but do not find the DVD in the drive.

  They advise now reinstall me to factory setting, but don't want to build the laptop up to scratch etc, so I'm hoping that there may always be a solution.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you

  Best wishes

  Hello

  You understand that you must specify if it is a hardware or software problem.
  Unfortunately, you can find this secret only using recovery DVD (CD).
  Toshiba recovery installation will define the laptop back to the factory settings. In this case you may find whether or not the CD/DVD device is defective.

  If the player will not play the DVD after the reinstallation of the operating system, then chances are that it is a CD/DVD drive error.

  Good bye
