• Satellite Pro A120 - 169 PSAC1E: Impossible to install the 64 bit OS

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro A120 (169) model PSAC1E-04X024BT and I inserted 2 x DA-PA3513U-1M2G (Dane-Elec 2 GB SODIMM PC2-5300) memory, so a total of 4 GB of memory.

  I know to have 4 GB in a BONE, you need to run a 64 bit OS.
  But my processor is an Intel Centrino DUO T2050 1.6ghz (Intel Core DUO T2050).

  After reading the manual I was convinced that I am able to run a 64 bit OS... but the time of its installation, the Setup program will not continue... as my CPU is 32-bit...

  Is this true? Or do I have to change something in the BIOS? (Version 3.4)

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Yes, it true s that your processor supports only 32 bit and not 64 bit.
  Here, you check only the Intel specifications posted by redhawk.

  Sorry mate, but on this laptop, you can only use a 32 bit OS.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Need drivers for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello

  I got my sisters laptop (Satellite PRO A120 model PSAC1E) and because it was full of girly garbage I ve put the xp pro disc to and start again.
  Now, the problem is that there are a lot of exclamation points in my device manager. I guess the disc that came with the laptop would have sorted it, but it disappeared.
  Rather than going through downloads driver one at a time and hoping that I get what I want (some seem not to be there anyway), is there a place I can download the boot disk arrangement... the Device Manager indicates that these don t have drivers...

  Ethernet controller
  bus modem device high definition audio
  network controller
  USB controller
  unknown device
  video controller
  video controller (vga compatible)

  I'm on another pc at the moment and can download on a disc, and then put it in the laptop.
  Any help would be greatly received

  Thanks in advance
  ADE

  You can order a new disc of recovery at an authorized service provider if have lost the recovery disk that came with the noteboook.
  Just ask the registered maintainer the closest that you can find on the Toshiba site and talk with them. I think that people will try to help you. ;)

  Of course, you can install Windows XP on the laptop without recovery disk Toshiba, but it takes more time than the recovery disk. You need to download and install each driver and tool that you can find on the Toshiba site.

  In your case I print the suggested installation instructions Feliks document. Then you can walk through each driver or tool that you have already installed and you can t forget something.

  Good luck and if you have any other questions feel free! :)

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Satellite Pro A120 - can I upgrade to Windows 7?

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-045005 - purchased in Australia) I want to upgrade to Windows 7, XP
  The Toshiba Australia website says it is not compatible with Windows 7 and the Windows XP upgrade to Windows 7 is not supported.
  Searching the Web I found some sites that say they have the drivers on the computer. Only one address is the following:
  http://driver-Toshiba.blogspot.com/2009/12/Toshiba-Satellite-Pro-A120-PSAC1-for.html

  No doubt these drivers would be unofficial. They would be reliable or would it cause problems?
  I use a wireless router so would be particularly concerned if it caused problems with this

  To provide you with accurate answers, someone must have the same model of laptop and test it for you.
  To be honest, you will be very happy if someone here will do that for you.

  So my advice is: install Win7 and test these drivers only. If something is wrong or you will not be satisfied with the functionality, you can back up the operating system more former and supported when you want.

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1A-073004) replacement battery

  I have a 3-4 year old Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-073004) who needs a new battery as the current within 10 minutes of the available battery.

  The current battery in the laptop's manufacturer PA3285U-3BAS a Toshiba 6 cells Li-ion primary battery.

  However, after contacting several local Australian retailers, they tell me that Toshiba has discontinued this particular part number.

  Are you able to advise me if this is indeed the case?

  If so, could you suggest the number of part of an appropriate substitute for the main battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I don't know the situation in Australia, but I can't imagine Toshiba ceased production of this battery.
  Put this number in Google and you will find many shops online in the world where you can order this battery.

I also tried to reinstall the system, but once it is done with the progressbar that both vista and xp to run before the installation, it freezes again.

  Last thing I tried was to run Windows XP (security error) which works very well. To me, it seems that the bios has a problem any. Anyone know what can be the problem?

• Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

  Hi all

  I'm new here so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

  Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Best regards

  Dr. Feelgood

  Hello

  Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

  Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

  So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

• How to change videoram on Satellite Pro A120?

  Hello

  I own a Satellite Pro A120. The manual says that the A120 is abe to have a maximum of 128 MB videoram (shared memory). I have 512 MB internal memory.
  Now he does that less than 8 MB videoram.

  I can change it to e.g. 128/64? If so, how?
  I am not able to change it in the Bios (Version 3.40).

  Thanks in advance.

  From my experience, that is not possible you can not manually change the memory of graphics card everything is controlled by the software (graphics driver).
  This means that this driver assigns a certain amount of RAM main memory graphics so it s needed. If a higher graphics card memory is not required while the graphics driver will not assign memory to s shared graphics memory

• Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

  I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

  I was hoping you could advise me.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Hello!

  Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
  Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

  However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
  But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite Pro A120-189 - RAM who do I take for the upgrade?

  Hello everyone

  I want to upgrade the RAM for my Satellite Pro A120-189, model number PSACIE-05V021EN, as the laptop is quite slow (I use Vista 32 bit business).
  I was wondering what is the maximum RAM for my laptop, and how compatible RAM module I might add (for now, I have 1 GB of RAM).

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hello

  I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This is why you must use two modules of 2 GB with DDR2 (533 MHz) technology.

  You can get new RAM to each computer store or authorized service provider. I have good experiences with high-quality Kingston modules.

• 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?
