Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

Hello Jodie

I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.

  • Satellite A30 - problem writing to DVD

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba A30 (PSA 33F) satellite some time ago and have just tried to burn on a dvd, but it is not being seen by the dvd-r/rw. So, I get a message that there is no cd in the drive.
    But I can burn CD but not dvd.

    It will play dvd movies, but the play/stop/pause buttons ETC don't work.

    I tried deleting the Device Manager but has not solved the problems.

    Search the Toshiba web site that says I must install the driver ram dvd but who did not.

    Any advice welcome.

    Hi William,.

    Can you confirm that your A30 has a DVD burner? My Satellite A30 came only with a CD burner (a TEAC DW224E) so I had to replace it (with a CARPET * A UJ825) in order to burn DVDs.

  • Satellite C655D - problem with recovery

    Hello
    I have the Satellite C655D-S5515 with no additional DVD.
    I want it back or fabric.
    When, during boot press 0, not getting no RECOVERY option not only choose the operating system (Windows 7 only).
    How can I make laptop recovery?

    At first, I must say that since a long time, Toshiba and many other manufacturers of laptop also, doesn t offer disk facility with new laptops. Recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and the laptop owner should create backup recovery, recovery media creation. Its operation is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

    In General, when your laptop has a factory settings and changes nothing, you should be able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. I don't know what the problem with your machine and what is the reason why this option is not available, but what you need now is the installation of recovery disc.

    If you don't you should be able to order it. For making this visit https://support.toshiba.com/repair?orderType=SFF

    Good luck

  • Satellite M645 - problem with files from Ipod

    I recently had two other notebooks die on me so why I got a brand new Toshiba Satellite M645.
    I have two ipods with music on them from one of the computers.
    When we follow the ways to transfer music on my new computer that I will meet different problems with each of them.

    The first problem is on my video Ipod.
    After clicking on the hidden folders and etc when I find the music file, it shows the files for everything except music.
    Here is the list of files, it gives me

    Calendards
    contacts
    garbage
    NISAM
    Notes
    recycler
    ground
    USB 2.0 driver
    zurim

    If someone could help me with this, or maybe send me to another forum or page that might help me.

    My other is an ipod touch.

    And when going to the devices, it rises driver device USB mobile apple instead of an ipod just like my other.
    When you click on it instead of display the files it just go to the properties and has two tabs, general and material.

    Once more if anyone knows how I might be able to get these on my new computer, I would be very grateful

    That has nothing to do with Toshiba but with your Ipod.

    On the other hand; I have an iPhone and the management of the files it s similar iPod.
    All files need iTunes and using iTunes, you can control files and move between computer and ipod

    However, I recommend you to visit the forum for ipod problems

    I bougth Satellite A350 with MS Windows Vista Home Premium a few days ago and I have the problem with wireless Internet. It is impossible. I have a connection with my wireless linksys router and that's all. I can't connect to the Internet. I can't get the IP address of the DHCP server, and it is "limited connectivity".

  • Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

    But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you

    (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

    > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
    If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
    When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

    Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

    What operating system do you use?

  • satellite A30: problems after upgrade to XP Prof

    I have two problems with the A30...

    I bought with XP Home and then upgraded to XP Pro, 1 problem, when I tried to install SP2, the laptop went into a loop of reloading, and the only way to solve was to return back to its original state, so is there a problem with the A30, XP Pro and SP2, do I need a bios update?

    The second issue is with the VGA port, I can't use an external monitor or projector when you use the function/F5 keys use the A30 Inter (r) Extreme Graphics, I asked the store where it was purchased and they said to re - install the driver original from tools and cd drivers, this installation still fails or locks into place

    all ideas

    Hello

    After the upgrade XP Home to Prof. you need to install the drivers and tools in good order! Moreover, some features do not work properly! This order are located on the CD of tools in an html file.

    For the function FN and F5, you need the hotkey utility

    An update of the BIOS is also useful to do!
    After that the system could work.

  • Satellite L505D - problem with mode standby in Windows 7

    It's me again, in the last thread:

    "Hello friends,

    I have a big problem when Windows 7 updated itself. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505D. When I close the lid, it will automatically 'sleep' mode. Unfortunately, the screen is black and the laptop is still in progress, I have to stop it and then turn. Is it a problem with the driver 'stack '? Please, help me :)). "

    The mode 'sleep' worked perfeclty for a few days and it's still gone... What more when I try to enter the mode "sleep" I can't do anything on the laptop, it still works on the white screen and the transformers fan works high speed. In recent days, when the "sleep mode" worked, windows has no update...

    I don't know what is happening... :) Weird problem, isn't?

    It is not easy to say why this is happening. In your last post, you wrote about some updates of windows. Who knows what's wrong there.
    If nothing is done, not even system restore and you want to use the standby mode I recommend you save all your data and install the new OS by using recovery mode.

    With the settings everything's going to be OK but then be careful with updates.

  • Satellite L300: Problem with webcam

    Hello. Sorry for my English. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-w15
    I have a problem with the webcam. Tried tons of different drivers. Official drivers from this web site, drivers by number of VID/PID... nothing helps. I think that someone has tried to change firmware on webcam and set bad firmware. Can you tell what webcam is installed on this laptop? Chicony? What model? Now, the web cam code is: USB\VID_0C45 & PID_62C0 & MI_00\6 & B22C026 & 1 0000
    Search by this code, I realized it's webcam from another laptop, Toshiba l300... you can what can I do? Can I change firmware to normal? Where can I take it? For what sex cam should look for firmware...

    Windows xp. tried to reinstall windows... nothing has changed

    Can you please install original OS that you got with your laptop and check the webcam feature?
    Or you got this cam without pre-installed software?
    > I think someone tried to change firmware on webcam and set the bad firmware
    As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any firmware for cam, just pilot and Toshiba webcam application. No more than that.

    What operating system do you use?
    You have installed and configured? I ask this question because I don't understand how someone can have access to your laptop?

  • Satellite L870: Problem with USB to serial interface with FTDI chipset

    Hi all

    bought a L870 year last to run software amateur radio via USB to the serial interface.
    Interface uses the FTDI chipset.

    The problem I have is that the switch on the led on the interface flashes green to red several times to indicate that it works, but then must remain on green but task on every minute she goes through the same process again.

    All the controls on the drivers and the Manager of devices indicates that everything is ok. No problem with interface on computers laptops happens or advent.

    Is there anything on the Toshiba laurys usb ports every minute.

    Thanking you in advance for any ideas

    First of all, I must say that there are different models of L870 Satellite on the market supporting different hardware and software. Some are preinstalled with 8 and some Win with Win 7.

    In addition the L870 supports USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 standard.
    If you recommend to check the different USB ports and check if your software works correctly with the USB 3.0 standard.

  • Satellite 1905 - problem with the touchpad after awakening from Hibernation/standby

    Greetings.

    I've known a few interesting problems with my Satellite 1905 - S301.
    Whenever he wakes up from hibernation/standby my touchpad stopped accepting "taps" as a click on the left button of the mouse. It works normally with finger motion detection, but stops at all but it is quite annoying to restart the machine whenever he returns from hibernation mode.

    I've done a small workaround and after I close the laptop lid still works but this isn't the way it should work, I would have preferred that she either Hibernate than running for 10 hours without any sense;).

    Can someone give me the solution to this problem, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards
    Akar

    Hello

    I agree with you. It s very boring to restart the machine each time to use the touchpad.
    This problem appears on the first day?

    I think there might be a software problem and, possibly, the new installation of operating system recovery CD Toshiba could help.
    I know, the complete installation is not the best solution, but it might help.

    You should also check you the touchpad. Satellite 1905 - S301 was designed for the U.S. market and so I checked the American website for available drivers.
    It seems that 5.3.203.2 is a newer version of the Alps touchpad driver for Windows XP.

    I suggest to reinstall the touchpad driver and check if there is no improvement.

  • Satellite P300 - problems with the buttons of enlightenment

    First of all, I would like to apologize for my bad English, I'm French actually.

    Hi, I bought a laptop Satellite P300, a couple of days, and already I have a problem with tactile keys (one on top of the keyboard).

    Actually, the only one of the left, which is supposed to turn off the sound used to keep away the keys lights and Satellite logo. One day (and I don't know why), when I pressed her, she actually cut the sound. And now, the first two keys (mute and shortcut of windows media) do not work, but the other four (Media Player control).
    I tried Toshiba Assist, and the tool for the configuration of the pushbuttons (I don't know the English name of this tool) but I couldn't set the keys, they were not on the list "button name".

    So, does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?

    I apologize again for my English.

    Hello

    I assume you are using Windows Vista because you bought the laptop a couple of days and so I think that you should try to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. This package determines the buttons of the lighting that you mean and others (for example the FN keys too).

    The latest version, you can download the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    1. download the latest PPV on the Toshiba site
    2. go in Control Panel > Add/Remove programs. Find the Toshiba value added package and remove it
    3. restart the laptop
    4. download and install CCleaner. This cool cleans up the registry of Windows and system files. He should find some registry keys of Toshiba you should remove with CCleaner.
    5 reboot the laptop
    6. install the PPV that you already downloaded
    7 restart once again

  • Satellite A200 - problems with the AC adapter / CC

    Hello

    The problem concerns a Satellite A200 (PSAF6A-02H01N).

    Recently, there was problems with the laptop, taking several attempts to boot to Vista, it would lock up while loading or just hang and freeze just after loading Vista.
    But once it was up and the laptop running would be happy working for hours with the AC adapter is plugged in.

    The problem got worse now and the laptop will not load Vista end without crashing.
    We have now reduced the computer down to have only a problem when the power adapter is connected.
    The laptop battery will charge normally with the AC adapter is plugged in and the laptop on standby or off.

    The problem persists with the AC adapter is plugged in and the battery removed.
    The laptop will start and run perfectly with battery and no power adapter plugged. Once the AC adapter is plugged in the laptop indicates that the battery is charging and then after a few seconds it crash or freeze and the only escape is a full stop.
    The laptop will not work under the battery power for 30 minutes max.
    I checked the output voltage of the AC adapter and this seems to be a consistent 19.4 Volts.

    Is this only a problem of AC adapter or the problem with the laptop?

    Thanks in advance...

    I lifted the previous discussions on this problem and found one that was very similar, but unfortunately the user decided not to find the problem of the road, save money and buy a new laptop instead! Hmm. !! .. seems to me like this might be a prob. material. Maybe a new motherboard?... anyone have an idea of what are the costs for that perhaps? .. an ASP or decent technician backstreet?...
