Questions of Touchpad on Satellite A30

Hi all

Recently, I sent my Satellite A30 for repairs because the touchpad is dead. Since I had 'fix', his erratic behavior. Sometimes, I lost all the horizontal movement, with only the operation of the vertical direction. Sometimes during a windows session, I lose the feature full touchpad (including the left/right button).

I also noticed that a fresh windows session allows me to use scrolling (side of the touchpad) and also rear ease in web browsers. However, after a few moments, windows stopss recognizing the scroll and the b/f gestures (even if the touchpad in my tray icon highlights the fact that I use).

I've updated my ALPS drivers to the latest version, but that didn't fix it.

I'm guessing that it's a software issue and not a hardware fault as a reboot solves these problems temporarily. I don't know if there is a hardware problem that confuses the software. I have no idea.

If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this before, please let me know as it's more boring.

See you soon,.

Hello

It's not easy to say why this touchpad problem.
Questions sometimes very strange occur due to overheating. I noticed that if the temperature goes down to the critical level of the operating system stops, the laptop crashes or many strange issues occurs as a malfunction of the touchpad. In your case, I recommend that you check the cooling modules and try to use the vacuum cleaner for cleaning. Maybe it helps.

The second possibility is that the touchpad has a malfunction. You know, it has been replaced in the past and it is possible that there is something wrong with the hardware.
You can contact Toshiba service partner and explain the situation after the replacement of touchpad.

Good luck

  • Questions of Touchpad on Satellite A100

    Hi all,

    My name is Bill, and I bought a Satellite A100 6 months.

    I am facing a strange problem with my touchpad. More precisely, the right button does not respond. Sometimes it automatically snaps and other time she made a left click unlike my settings that I put to right click.

    Usually, I use a USB external mouse and I do my job all of a sudden the right button is clicked without clicking.

    The most interesting is that I sent my laptop to my local service and they had replaced the touchpad with a new, but after a while (about 1 month) the problem reappears.

    Can - what someone knows something about this? I gather that maybe the motherboard is responsible, but I'm not sure.

    I want to note that I checked almost anything on software problems (I used the recovery CD, I installed new drivers for touchpad, I watched updated touchpad and so on)

    I think I'm very unlucky.

    Kind regards

    Bill

    Hello

    a solution would be maybe to send your machine to your servicepartner once again and to quote the problem persists.
    If they ask you, then tell you think so it may be something with the main card. Then they will check it properly.

    :)

    You know, if you have already checked everything, this may be a hardware problem.

  • Questions of Touchpad on Satellite P10-304

    Hello

    Recently, my touchpad started to malfunction. If I move my finger on it constantly when starting it works fine under windows, but inactivity for a second round causes freeze it. If I close and then restart apoint.exe, it works as long as there is a constant activity on the pavement.

    First of all, I uninstalled the drivers, then installed the latest versions. This does not solve the problem. Then, rather excessively I formatted the hard drive, the reinstalled windows and drivers, it does not solve the problem.

    I would say that it was clearly a hardware failure, but it works perfectly, as long as there is a constant activity, and when it does not freeze, restart apoint.exe sorts it until the next idle!

    Help, please

    Hello

    I think it would be only a malfunction of the equipment.
    After the new installation of operating system and drivers of Tosh the touchpad should be activated without touching them.

    But what of the function FN + F9?
    The touchpad works if you select or clear the FN + F9 key?

  • Satellite A30 RAM memory upgrade

    Hello.
    I have a question about my Toshiba Satellite A30 memory.
    I want to spend my memory (256 DDR 333 Mhz PC2700 SoDiMM installed chip). If I add to the original 256 MB 512 MB chip the two will work together and is a SoDIMM DDR 512 with a frequency of 400 Mhz compatible with the portable computer and 256 MB chip?
    Thank you

    Hello

    > If I add a 512 MB chip will initially 256 MB, the two work together?

    Yes, the two modules will work together. In this case, you will have 768 MB main memory.

    > is a SoDIMM DDR 512 with a frequency of 400 Mhz compatible with portable computer chip and 256 MB

    It depends on the front side bus (FSB). AFAIK the A30 supports a FSB of 533 Mhz. So the 512MM module should work at full speed to 400 Mhz.

    But note; If the memory 256MM module supports only 333 Mhz, then the fastest 512 MB module will run also with 333 Mhz. The 256 MB module will make the module second, faster more slow.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

    My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

    I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

    I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

    The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

  • Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

    Good afternoon

    Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

    Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

    Kind regards

    Dave Smith

    Hello Dave

    I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

  • 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

    Thomas

    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.

  • Question on recovery of product for Satellite A30 - 514

    After the start of recovery of product using OS provided a disk displayed the Setup with error number 11122 stops with the message "cannot load the bitmap file. height max 100 ".

    Also asked why recovery at startup on screen message States, loading of Windows 98, then the home XP was preinstalled on the computer.
    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Do you use a recovery CD or original copy? Satellite A30 is a unit old enough and I wonder since when you noticed this problem?

    Recovery procedure is running in MS-DOS mode. Because of this, there are still listed W98. Thing absolutely unimportant.

  • Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

    Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

    I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

    Null value

    Hello

    It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
    It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

    But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
    You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

    Hope I could help a little.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

    After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

    Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

    The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

    Hello

    Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

  • Questions about various issues on a Satellite A30

    OK, for starters, I don't know much about computers without talking about laptops, but my husband is "generally" with them, but now that we have major problems.

    I have a Satellite A30 (not sure if he's a pro, because it does not mention it in the manual and Stephen is about to have a heart attack right now, and is not on the laptop so impossible to verify the BIOS).

    Anyway. Problems began some time, in fact not long ago after that missed warranty. I bought it used and I loved it when I got it.

    Ok
    Problem 1. -Overheating, we finally solved by it own every now and then, problem solved.

    Problem 2. -USB 2.0. Some things work some don't. My Nikon camera does not work via USB but my Lumix made. My mobile struggles. Just buy a card reader, worked on the laptop of Stephen, but not the A30. Dongle Bluetooth does not work. All these elements, used to work.

    Problem 3. -I can put my processor speed 1.6 GHz or 3.06 GHz. overheated really easily on 3.06 and tends to slow down and seems to be faster at 1, 6 GHz and not overheating on 1.6 end so keep on that. Although the pain. Even with extra under cooler portable computer fan base.

    Problem 4. -Not that I'm an expert, but I think that my diet is missing. I still have my laptop plugged in about 90% of the time. I put the laptop on and it will use the power adapter for a while then goes on battery power. If the power adapter that was what it was, not the battery. Then when the battery reaches the end of its power, it's just going and I have to wait until she sees again until I can turn it back on. I find this very annoying.

    PROBLEM 5. -As 2 days ago, there have been totally and absolutely kaput. Don't even connect. It also goes further than Windows XP start then an error message saying something about a lack. DLL file. Stephen said he has sorted that but has not solved the problem. We decided that it was only a hard drive problem so bought an external for she and Stephen case after 2 days managed to download everything from the laptop HARD drive. It's a 40gig HARD drive. Some files have been deformed and had to be removed so the thinking that was the problem so went out to buy a new but went for a 120gig. Formatted Stephen on his laptop and then went to transfer my A30 but the same problems. Now I wonder if 120Gig is too much. At the mo Stephen takes on his HARD drive to put in mine and vice versa. His laptop he's grateful as a 120GHz, but according to him, my BIOS is not very clear and does not tell you anything about it. As I said I know nothing about computers. I'm really clutching at straws here. Stephen was brought up on computers, but is more used for desktop computers and we decided to sell our laptops and buy a desk to update high spec but I doubt that I would get a lot of money now for my A30 if it does not work.

    Any ideas would be useful to roll again.

    Sorry for this thread may be so long but well that Stephen will not admit to it, he really needs help and I can try and give information, you help us.

    BTW, I read in my manual that it can take up to 80Gig HARD drive but more important in the future, so we thought it would be nice with 120 now because they are available if this is any help to you.

    Hello

    you have always guaranteed on this machine? If yes then TOMORROW bring to an authorized service partner.

    Why? The problem is that this machine has a Pentium 4 that gets really hot, and if the cooling system is clobbed with dust, then cooling paste which transfers heat between the cpu and the cooling module dries and it cannot transfer heat with precision to the cooling module copper.

    I suggest to go to a technician and advises him to exchange the cooling paste, really, it will trigger the stability of your system.

    Believe me. :)

    The other thing with USB is: sometimes there is not enough power in the system and I guess that the problem is on the AC adapter. Buy a new adapter sector and you probably won´t have stability problems, USB and much more. I can't say for sure, but I solved a problem with a 2430 Satellite I've had and that's quite the same model like yours, it has just a few other colors, but the pattern is the same.

    I had this problem of heat and I solved it by exchanging cooling paste, but then the machine was no more warranty, and I am somewhat familiar with computers.

    I had problems with my AC too, but my mistake was another because he mades some noise and after a while, it stops working. Now, that system did not work properly and after exchanging the AC everything was good again.

    With regard to the HARD drive: I can't talk about something because I use just a 60 GB drive. You'll find it probably our yourself or an experienced user here in the forum might help you.

    I wish you good luck with your machine and a good weekend

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

    Hello

    My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

    The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
    The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

    In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

    The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

    But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

  • Satellite A30 product recovery CD

    I need to restore the HD of Satellite A30 of my boy.
    He gave me that one DVD 'product Recovery DVD-ROM'
    He is also says "2/2", which I suppose that it is disk 2 of 2.

    This DVD is not bootable. so I guess there could be a disk of 1/2 which is bootable and contains the basic recovery program.

    My question: am reason above supported and if yes, where can we get the first DVD, since my boy seems to have lost it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Peter

    Hello

    You are right! There must be a n ° 1/2 recovery DVDs!

    If you (or your son) have lost it, you can order a new one for every Service Toshiba partner. You only have to sign a solemn declaration for MS that you have lost the CD!

    To http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the support & downloads you will find a list of partners of Service Toshiba!
