• Satellite Pro A120-185 - need Vista Recovery disk - never get a

  Hello, my trusty Satellite Pro C: is completely filled, and so I would wipe and do complete a new installation of Windows.

  It came with VISTA on it when I bought it several years ago.

  It's a Satellite Pro A120-185 and the operating system only disk I got with it was just something to 'upgrade' disc of Vista.
  I bought and paid for Windows Vista with the laptop, thus so I wouldn't have a license can I reinstall?

  Please note that I am an advanced PC user, I'm not looking for ways to reduce the space that my household is good and I uninstalled everything I do not use or need.

  I just want to be able to clean the laptop and reinstall Windows Vista... is it going to be possible? (I don't see why it shouldn't be because Vista came with the laptop!). Please tell me where I can get the windows disk since?

  Hi dude

  Read the other discussions on this topic even here in the forum.

  You didn t get this disk because you create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  This was mentioned in the manual as well!

  However, here you can order the recovery disk that you didn't create yourself.

• Question about recovery for Satellite Pro A120-185

  I had a with the laptop recovery CD. I wonder if he has the operating system also (windows Vista) and I have the right to request a copy of the operating system?
  Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  And how to restore to factory State with the combination of keys on keyboard to image on the hard drive? This also restores programs and everything too?

  Hello

  You bought the laptop with pre-installed Vista OS?
  If so, the recovery CD should contains the operating system Vista, all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities and additional software.

  > Is - this CD has everything that was originally on the laptop (all software)?
  Yes, as I said above the Toshiba on the restore CD image contains everything; Operating system, drivers and programs.

  If you use the recovery for the reinstallation CD, you will set the laptop to factory settings.
  But beware, this procedure will format you whole HARD disk and will delete the existing partitions.

  If you want to install from the recovery CD, try to boot from this CD and follow the guide line. It is very easy.

• Upgrade memory to the Satellite Pro A120-185 PSAC1E

  The original installed memory of 1 GB in my trusty old A120 is now become a bit of a factor limiting and I want to upgrade to the full 4 GB. I checked this site and it says that the memory runs at 533 MHz.

  However, looking at various other sites suggested that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!

  Anyone knows which is the right speed?
  Obviously, I want to put a faster RAM in it when I update, but if we can't run it, I don't want to waste money I can't use memory especially.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > However looking at various other sites given to think that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!
  Depends on the FSB (front side bus)

  If the FSB would allow the 667 Mhz, then the modules of memory also would go to 667 Mhz. If the FSB supports only 533 Mhz then your modules will be run max 533 Mhz even though the modules support 667 Mhz.
  Simply said; the FSB can slow down the speed of the memory.

• Satellite Pro A120 broken and battery power problems

  Hello

  I have an A120 with XP pro on it, now it is around the age of 11 months. The other day that the power failed, the wire of the adapter came loose and short circuit blowing power. Please can someone tell me how I can contact toshiba to get news that the laptop is still under warnety, I can't find a phone or e-mail contact anyhere.

  Also, I noticed that the battery life has decreased dramatically, I used to get 3.5 to 4 hours on full battery, now I get about 1.3 hours, which seems unacceptable to me. The laoptop is under the same constraints of cpu power, as it was when I brought it is not that I use also the right of the battery until it is dead and do not supply current when the battery is fully charged.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A120-10W - function keys not working not not from the cloth of hard drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120-10W under Windows XP Pro SP3, and just had my hard drive erased, because of virus. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't use function keys to change the brightness etc. I looked in various forums help however most seem to give answers for Windows 7 or vista. 7
  Can someone please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As you can see in other threads, you need special drivers/tools for the keys FN get their work because there is no standard Windows driver for these keys.

  In any case, you must download the common Modules like Akuma wrote. After installing the key should start working again.
  You can download the tools on the official website of Toshiba.

  If you have problems with the installation or it succeeded, just after a few comments. ;)

• Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

  I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

  Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

  Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

  Hello

  Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
  Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

  Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
  the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

  and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

  So, what phone do you use?

• Satellite Pro A120 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance
  Concerning

  > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

• Black screen after hibernation - Satellite Pro A120 mode

  I have the following on my A120 problem:

  My Satellite Pro A 120 with professional vista crashes after I close the lid.
  The current settings in the power management standby is extended when the lid is closed, but I also tried with the sleep settings.

  After I opened my top once again, black screen appears and restart windows.
  Vista offers a solution online after the accident, but nothing appears as a result of the audit.

  Someone had this problem?
  I would appreciate any kind of advice.

  Hello

  I see you are using Vista on this laptop.
  This laptop has been pre-installed with Windows XP. Am I wrong?

  It would be very interesting to know if the same thing happens with the OS pre-installed Toshiba. Please check this!

  That say these issues can be caused by wrong or not entirely compatible graphics driver or lack of MS patches/fixes.

  I recommend checking out the various graphics and update the operating system drivers to the last State

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

  I installed windows 2000 on an A120, the system is fully packed and service updated before I even start to install the necessary drivers, I am unable to restart the system. I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

  The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?
  The drivers of Toshiba W2k for Satellite Pro A120 have been published and are ready!

  But please pay attention to the Toshiba drivers.
  There are two different sets of Satellite Pro A120, with different drivers W2k!
  After choosing the good laptop and download the drivers please follow the proper installation order that is indicated in the document "installation instructions"! Check it!

  I think that if you follow this guide line everything works and runs correctly. Good luck
