• Re: Need Satellite A210-10y - 3D CAD program doesn't work - new display driver

  Hello

  First of al I have a toshiba Satellite A210-10y, but I have a question for the display driver.
  I have a problem with a program of 3D CAD and a suggestion to solve the problem, is to update the display driver.

  But I can ' find a new driver on the driver support. It seems that Toshiba leave support after 3 months after the introduction.
  Because that's when the most recent driver is out. Is this true or do I go to the wrong place.

  Greetz Tom

  Hello

  The laptop seems to support the Mobility Radeon® X 2400 graphics chip.
  Have you tried the driver released by ATI?

  Toshiba usually provides own pilots on the European driver Toshiba page. But if this version is too old for you, then you should check the driver from makers of graphics chips. Of course there is no guarantee if such driver would be fine, so you will need to test this you know good luck

• Satellite A210-10Y increase procedure RAM & warranty

  Hi all

  I have a satellite A210-10Y with 2 GB of RAM. But now I want to increase the memory to 4 GB.
  (which is possible to do so).

  My question is; When I open the back of my laptop to install the RAM card, this will end my right to the warranty? Ending date of my warranty has not jet been passed and is still due for a few months, and I'm having some problems with the hard drive so I want to make use of the warranty, some days.

  I was also wondering if there are differences in quality between the manufacturers of these cards and what would be the best option for me to choose. I already found a site that looks great to me:

  www.Kingston.com

  In addition, I understand that my current RAM consists of two cards of 1024 MB each. Is does that mean I have to buy two full nine cards each containing 2 GB?

  Thank you very much for your help in advance!

  Hello!

  Yes, it is possible to increase the RAM to 4 GB.
  It is the maximum size that the chipset is not supported.
  Of course, you can buy RAM Kingston. It is a good RAM and many users bought these modules if you are looking for a little bit in the forum. The part No. for 2GB on accessories for Toshiba is: PA3513U-1M2G

  And you will not lose the warranty. It easy to change or update the RAM to use s.

  An upgrade to 4 GB, you have two 2 GB modules.

  Good bye

• hard disk Smart failure imminent

  just got a failure message imminent smart hdd at boot my brand new HP Envy 16.  I can boot windows but it s really irritating.  Can it be fixed or is it just send it back?

  THX

  The best answer, especially if its new and still under warranty, is to send to HP to fix them. The permanent solution is to replace the hard drive. It can stop working for a while, he could die tomorrow. If it's showing smart errors, it is preferable to replace.

• Satellite A210-1AO: sometimes the colors on the screen become unnatural

  Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 1AO two months ago and collided with a following problem.
  Very rarely (once a week) on the screen colors become suddenly against natural.
  The problem even if it means opening / closing of coverage.

  Really the material damage?
  The problem is rarely enough.

  Hello

  I m an owner of a portable Satellite A210-10Y but I didn t notice a similar problem; running under Windows XP OS or using the Vista.

  I don t want to publish stories great but perhaps that the problem of color could be linked to the issue of the material.
  Maybe part of laptop as displays, FL-ups or graphics card would be malfunctions

  In my view, a check of laptop would be useful and I recommend you contact the ASP.
  If your warranty is the replacement of any piece of material must be covered by warranty.

  PS; Updating the graphics driver, what would you say? Did you use the latest graphic drivers Toshiba?

• Satellite L550 - SMART failure HARD disk reports early - what to do?

  Toshiba Satellite L550-113

  At startup, I get a fault HARD drive reporting mini-message soon, and I am asked to by pressing F1 before will continue to Windows (Vista 32 bit).

  The message of the Toshiba HDD application alert is as follows:

  Disk0
  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict who monitors the HARD drive, operating status. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a backup for the data on your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new drive for replacement if necessary.

  I ordered a new HARD drive to replace the failed HDD (can't be bothered p * ssing all with the support of the RMA and tech).

  However, is it possible to repair the old HDD once it's been deleted? If I have the reformat, it would do anything, or is it more serious than that?

  Hello

  What should do? Back up all your data as soon as possible. You have created recovery DVD?
  If this is not the case, do. When you redeem your laptop HARD drive, you can use this recovery disc to install the operating system and have once again the factory settings.

  What is with guarantee s notebook? I mean that if the warranty is still valid, you can request service Toshiba to replace HARD drive.

• Satellite L30 - 10V - smart failure hard disk

  My laptop s son frozen then it happened and THE new, and as he loaded up Vista again said that there was a mistake and restarted itself and continued in this loop until I put in the disc of resettlement (GMR400705EN0) provided with the laptop and resisted F12 at startup.

  Everything seemed well forward. He explained he would be completely erase all data on the disk hard drive then I'm gone come with it until it crashed at 12% and said hit any key to continue when I did all this I had was a blank screen Toshiba. I did it again and this time he got up to 60% then it is the same thing as now when I turn on the laptop it say "planned smart failure hard disk 4 Toshiba MK8037GSX-(S1) WARNING: immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive, a failure may be imminent press F1 to continue."

  So do you have any ideas as to what the problem is and will be I need to replace his drive hard as the laptop is a little over a year old and has not been used much?

  Help me please anyone!

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say, but I fear that your HARD drive will die soon. You must, as soon as possible, back up all important data and get the new HARD drive. The replacement is not so complicated and you can do it alone.

  If you need assistance please let us know. There are a lot of people on this forum with a lot of experience and. You're not alone ;)!

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

  _The symptoms are: _

  * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

  * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

  What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

  Hey Buddy,

  For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

  Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

  If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.

• Satellite A350D-10Y - failure of the external graphics card?

  Hello guys,.

  I have a toshiba Satellite A350D-10Y and I get some sounds of the sound system of the laptop, but a kind of Mermaid on the mother, accompanied by lights driver dvd, map emitte acoustics is two short beeps. I'm getting these two short beeps loops within a period of 5 seconds +-.

  I downloaded a video for you, to listen to the sound emitted by the MB, in the end you can hear better because you get less noise from the cpu fan:

  Feature of the motherboard: ATI external graphics card

  Things I've done:
  -Remove the battery and try to put on without it.
  -Switch of RAM on the slot a RAM
  -Clean cpu fan one its exhaust
  -Change is the motherboard on a new

  Now, the problem was taken up to, or is the processor or the external graphics card.

  I think that the problem of the graphics card, because if these was a problem of the processor, I'd get the audio system of the laptop beeps and not a buzzer next to the MB.

  Can anyone here help me?

  From my point of few it of not possible to say what s wrong with the laptop without running certain diagnostic tests and check the part.

  The often shorter and emits a beep when turning procedure appears due to the POST (power on self-test) failure.

  This essential POST routine determines the available memory real quantity and checks for the presence of required hardware components.
  In case one of the hardware components would be defective, the power on self test could not be transmitted correctly and the laptop would begin to create some beeps.

  If you are sure that the modules of memory so that the card mother isn't affected, then one of the pieces referred to as CPU / GPU can be the troublemaker.

• Re: Satellite A210 - reinstall external HARD disk files

• Satellite P215 get SMART failure on hard drive

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for a year now, and just recently, I noticed everything using that everything has become much slower and more something else that I couldn't run as much multitasking I could before without the screen freeze and have to wait until he gets treated. The level of multitasking is not serious, I mean that a laptop of this caliber should be able to have a streaming of youtube video play without problem as both messenger and Microsoft Word have. Recently, it has been quite frustrating and makes me want to throw computer laptop in the room, but I persevere. Moreover, I also realized that the game I used to play works is no longer (I wonder if it's the same question)

  I formatted the hard drive and installed windows vista (with the CD that was given to me when I bought the computer) and the first time he had actually installation problems I had to do it twice. The second time it has installed fine and it worked for a week and then it started to slow down terribly again.

  After restart the computer message popped up indicating SMART: failure on hard drive Hitachi-(s1) 4, so I followed the instructions given by another thread with a similar problem. I tried the hitachi Drive Fitness Test and the program would not even load, it would get to the point where it says «Loading DFT»... ' and he would just stay there... I guess that is not compatible with Vista or something.

  What can I do in addition to evidence of the replacement of the hard drive? The cause of the downturn from the computer to the bass and the game does not work because of the HD about to fail? If there is a way to solve this problem, I would like to know

  Thank you
  Michael

  In my view the HARD disk, you should be exchanged and Yes, it could be the reason why the computer slows down, and some games do not work.
  I had the same problem a few years ago on my desktop PC computer is very slow and I can t install a game. Whenever I tried it, I got a BSOD. Then I switched the HARD drive and everything worked very well.

  I put t know why the Drive Fitness Test does not start on your computer, but if you get a SMART error HARD drive should be exchanged permanently.

  If your laptop is under warranty, you must contact an ASP. Then the repair should be free.

  Good luck!
