Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

  • Need device driver IrDA for XP for Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E

    I install win XP sp II in a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E.

    Thank you

    Are you 100% that this laptop supports an IrDA port?

    By the way; all laptops with an IrDA port use a common Microsoft Windows driver to run the IrDA port.

    But once again; the question is: is this laptop supports IrDA port? I think that this feuture is not available

  • 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! :)

  • Replace a keyboard on a Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    A replacement for is keyboard come for a satellite Pro A120. It needs to be replaced due to one of the door-clip cap was broken off and is now the key in place.

    Can someone guide me through the replacement of the keyboard on this device please?

    Thank you
    Steve

    Hello

    Usually something like this should be done by a technician because the replacement of the keyboard could cancel the validity of the warranty!
    Anyway.
    To set the keyboard with the 2 screws that are hidden beneath the thin cover above the F1, F2, etc. keys

    -Insert the tip of your finger into the slot on each side and remove the door-keyboard.
    -Remove the 2 screws securing the keyboard.
    -Lift the upper part of the keyboard while freeing up the hook and turn the keyboard
    face down on the palmrest.
    -Remove the 1 screw and plate of keyboard.
    -Disconnect the keyboard cable from the CN3230 connector on the system board and
    Remove the keyboard.

    All that s. But as said above, if you have no experience and don't want to lose the warranty, contact the technician!

  • How to extend the memory of card display for Satellite Pro A120?

    I would like to expand the memory used by the graphics card because its at this stage only 8 MB, I want to make this 64 MB. Total memory in the computer laptop AI 512 MB. Normally you can do this in the BIOS but I can't find any option to do this.

    Someone at - it an idea how to proceed?

    What graphics card you have?
    What is a processor ATI or nVidia GPU?

    Graphics memory of my knowledge depends on the size of the main memory.
    The larger main memory, the largest memory GPU.

    However, if your graphics card supports shared memory and then the graphics card driver controls the amount of GPU automatically.
    In other words, if the GPU memory is not required then shared the GPU memory is set to a lower value.

  • 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.
