Hello!

I have a portable A20-S103 Satellite with the BIOS password.
It is an operator who think "left the password of the bios can be a great way to give a nice headache after they me shooting."

Now, Yes, I had a nice headache, but I think that nothings impossible, maybe you can give me a way to erase that password and reuse this laptop.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, it of possible to remove the BIOS password.

But I put t know how, you need an ASP (authorized service provider). They can remove the BIOS password.

I'm sure they can help you.

    You will get no other update BIOS (traditional BIOS). Only the victory of BIOS-based are available on the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you should be able to install windows even the BIOS is not fully ACPI-compatible.

  • Satellite A20-S103: can't burn CDs

    I use satellite A20-S103.
    my laptop won't burn CD more!
    This laptop uses a combo CDRw-DVD-ROM
    It reads, but he's not burn CDs?
    I looked in the tools and utilities cdrom. I saw a driver called DVDRAM. also I searched toshiba.com drivers latest. She also wrote driver DVDRAM here.

    What is the true driver?
    What can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    As far as I know, DVD player is automatically recognized by the operating system and you n t need to install any driver. Driver DVD-RAM is something else and it is not only the driver but the little tool too and must be installed if the unit has DVD - RAM drive.

    If you can't burn CD the only thing you can do is to do some tests.
    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The reader will be recognized and installed automatically
    Check if you have any success with the media from different manufacturers
    Try to clean the lens

    If this does not help, I guess that your drive should be replaced.

    Good luck!

  • Updated satellite A20-S103 - CPU and RAM

    I have toshiba satellite a20-s103 and I want to spend the cpu and ram.

    I need more to upgrade the processor that the RAM, the socket is socket p, please if you find any compatible cpu or ram from e - bay or if you find elsewhere, new cpu, or second hand in a good situation, please report it!

    and please tell me if intel core 2 duo or quad is compatible
    If you find the intel core 2 quad or compatible with that laptop duo, please report!

    Thank you very much!!!

    Guess what buddy.
    Forget the CPU upgrade!

    It is a very old notebook support old chipset.
    I'm quite sure that the chipset would not support Intel Core CPU m.

    In addition, the memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512 MB)
    More is not possible.

    In my opinion, if you need more performance, buy a laptop (maybe good work 2nd unit) supporting the newer parts.

  • Satellite A20-S103: LAN cable disconnected

    Hello

    I can not access my LAN or internet.
    I use a Satellite A20-S103 with a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

    When I connect the Lan cable to the LAN port, the message "LAN Cable" disconnected.
    The same message is displayed using connectivity doctor ConfigFree.

    I have changed several cables, used cables that worked on other computers and the message still there and no access to the router/modem.

    Near the LAN port LEDs are not lightning (or orange or green, no)

    I already read messages here in the forum (and other forums) and I can't get the ethernet card works.

    Do you think the problem is with the card or the operating system.

    Can you help me?
    Sorry for my English

    First, check to see if the network card has been recognized in the Device Manager.
    Under network adapters, you should see the LAN card.

    If there is a yellow exclamation point near network card then the driver has not been installed correctly or there is another serious error.

    In the first case I recommend the withdrawal of the LAN card from the Device Manager and after new reboot, you should try to reinstall the driver downloaded from the Toshiba page!

    In addition, you must set TCP/IP parameters automatically because the router assigns the IP address automatically.

    Please check and report the results

    Good luck

  • Lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk

    Hi all! I lost my recovery of my Satellite A20-S103 disk. Anyone could copy it for me? Or, there is somewhere I can get it? Thank you! Be well!

    > Could someone copy it for me?

    Toshiba Forum is not an emporium of recovery disks!
    I guess that a recovery could be ordered from the ASP.

    If this laptop is too old then it will not be possible to get the collection of the ASP.
    In this case, you need to install the XP from your own disc, and then the pilots could be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite a20 s103 wifi problem

    Hello!
    I inserted a card MSI mp54g2 mini pci wifi in my computer Toshiba Satellite a20 s103 and it does not work properly. The signal level is very low, although I tested it in the same room where was my AP (dlink dl-624 +). I found that there are 2 cables inside the computer (Brown and white) and two locations on the wifi card (in the hand). I don't know how I connect them, yet I tried all possible combinations and none of them does not change the signal level. Also, I found that even though the antena is not connected, the signal level is the same.
    Can someone help me with this one? !!
    Please help me!
    THX :)

    HI TEC

    Connect cable o white HANDS and black to THE and try again.

    OK, I went to best buy for a simple upgrade and the completely * ed my laptop.

    Hello

    Your story is a bit confusing.

    But let's talk about facts;
    Firstly if you have set the BIOS password, you should be able to remove it in the BIOS if the BIOS password is known to you.

    If the BIOS password is not known to you, you will not be able to withdraw without further support from the authorized Toshiba maintainer. The BIOS password must be removed using a special procedure and tools and it can be done ONLY by an ASP.
    I think it should be clear now.

    So if you want to remove the BIOS password, and the password is not known to you, you need the ASP and you will be charged for this.

    Unfortunately, you will need the help of ASP.

    Welcome them

  • Re: How to remove BIOS password toshiba satellite L350?

    Dear Experts: -.

    I have toshiba satellite L350 laptop computer. and I forget the BIOS password.
    sameone has me remove the battery on the motherboard. I have c and 24 h without betttary.
    but when I put the battery on the motherboard. andpress on butten but still BIOS password.
    Please tell me someone how to remove password?
    Thank you.

    Computers notebooks are portable computers that can be easily stolen and protection of BIOS is the functionality of security very important which must offer the maximum on the security of the data (to block the OS startup).

    All laptops Toshiba don t have the same mechanism for BIOS password removal. Some of them are very complicated and even service cannot be removed without contacting Toshiba directly. So all of these methods, you can find on the net, especially with the battery CMOS removal will not work. It would be too easy for thieves to remove the BIOS password and have full access to the operating system.

    You can check all these documents posted by rotemanq and Googling all about you can find hundreds of similar documents, but they won't help you much.

    Best option for you is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they can do for you. It costs a little but they will remove it for you.
