• Satellite Pro A120 - error function keys not working and affected

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04Q00VEN.

  A couple of weeks, I started to have a dialog "Error of TouchED" to come to the start box (containing the message: 'Thotkey' recovery has no code error 0 X 00031402, 0x00000002) and at the same time the function keys did not work.

  I spent several hours as a result of the wide variety of questions that have been posted on this forum and elsewhere regarding this problem with computers laptop Toshiba, but nothing has worked. I reinstalled all the drivers from my initial backup disk, installed new drivers on the Toshiba site, updated the bios and restored the system to date before the problem started to occur. I also can't find Thotkey.exe everywhere on my machine.

  Can anyone help with this? It seems to be a common problem, for which he doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. Any useful response would be really appreciated.

• Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

  I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

  Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

  Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

  Hello

  Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
  Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

  Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
  the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

  and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

  So, what phone do you use?

• Installation problems after upgrade the HDD on Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)

  Hello

  I've recently updated my Satellite Pro A120 with more memory and a larger hard drive. The memory I installed is 2 x 1 GB Module (DDR2-667) and the product number of the hard drive is MK2035GSS.

  My computer recognizes both of these upgradges, but since their installation I was able to install all applications (for example Norton Security etc) on my laptop - they seem to spend 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in which the installation process and then just quit smoking and become insensitive or an error message appears. I even tried to put the product recovery disc to try and erase everything and start over but even that does not load in entirely. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Also, I get messages of constant error on the screen and it blue screens and restarts frequently.

  If anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause, I would be extremely grateful for any help!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  just a question, than to the manufacturer that are the memory modules? And similar modules? Or do you have that you have installed other modules later.
  We can exclude the HARD drive because it doesn´t HARD drive installed. they do not cause bluescreens or similar. In very rare cases, the disk HARD COULD cause errors, but then the pladder or BSOD´s must be REALLY damaged and in your case, the HARD drive is brand new.

  It might be, that memory modules are not compatible with your machine. To avoid these incompatibility issues, you must use the modules of well-known such as kingston and toshiba brands. (I'd rather kingston, they work like a charm in my A100 Sat :))

  Would appreciate comments on your part.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Praise for Toshiba - I own a Satellite Pro A120 model: PSAC1A - 00K 005

  Hi all

  Here's a bunch of praise from a proud Australian customer!

  I currently own a Satellite Pro A120 (model: PSAC1A - K 00, 005) Windows XP Professional... I do not have an ounce of trouble with this computer and not have it to a Toshiba service center in the almost three years I've owned it so far! This computer received training from me at the moment and never gave me any major problems!

  The only problem I had (and it wasn't linked computer) was that my modem to broadband wireless gave the soul and I had to have a professional appearance of home - COMPUTER problem is the modem! I had previously updated a week before and it overloaded for sodomy and he said, "I don't want to play more!" and stopped working! This then cost me $ 299 for a new modem and on the reverse a new first a loser who has been blamed by my ISP and I went back and got a new free! What prompted my parents to go out and buy a Satellite A300 (unknown model yet!) so that they can use it in their business!

  Toshiba, you are to be congratulated on a great product and I will buy only a portable Toshiba in the future!

• Satellite Pro A120: No reason apparent IExplorer closes

  Without apparent reason, Internet Explorer announces that it has encountered a problem and needs to close, I can run Outlook Express, MSN Messenger and can access the internet using Mozilla Firefox but despite having downloaded Internet 7 again, this will not work.

  I use a Satellite Pro A120 with Norton Internet Security 2006 which is updated, I have a virus scanner and found nothing, which can be the fault.

  Just a few questions:
  -What service pack is installed?
  -What updates microsoft and patches are installed?
  -have you checked the Web microsoft and google for this error page?

  And my last question: why would you use IE? In my opinion, Firefox is much better and faster than IE. :)

  I guess the phone asking you the BIOS password
  I think it's only a plausible explanation of this error message

• Satellite Pro A120 - Second hard drive on secondary IDE channel

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 xp sp3.
  I tried so it can recognize a 2nd hard drive on the secondary ide channel, but it will not. CD player has been removed and replaced by one of them, the with the pata to sata interface.

  [http://newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_27&produc ts_id = 245]

  The second hard drive is a 500 GB seagate sata drive. Drive is spinning and powered but not appearing is not in the Manager of management or storage device.

  In the Bio (uptodate), it shows me it but won't let me change it.

  The readers of e/s
  Built on the disk HARD = serial ATA port 0
  CD rom = secondary ide (170H - IRQ 15)

  For me, the material is able to support two HARD drives that you remove the cd player, but it seems that the bio is me locking out the deselection of CD-ROM on the second IDE channel.
  Please could someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

  Thank you
  Zander

  Hello

  I read this story carefully and to be honest I m not sure if a second HDD (instead of the STRANGE) can be used

  My knowledge the IDE second controller does support all the ODD (CD/dvd drive) due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  I think it's the same case, why the second HDD is not recognized correctly

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

  However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

  I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

  Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

  Hoping that someone is able to help!

  Hi James

  You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

  > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

  This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
  Handling can damage the module!

  In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

  To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
  The two should be compatible.

• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• CD not recognized - Satellite Pro A120

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista professional. I have a problem with the DVD player (Mat * a DVD - RAM) because sometimes when I insert a CD of the software, the disk turns but does not recognize the drive.

  I tried different CD, but the problem is the same. I can only solve the problem by restarting the computer. That always seems to happen unless the PC has barely started.

  I installed the latest version of the BIOS and still have the problem.

  Hello

  Hear you the CD cannot be read or the AutoPlay window does not appear?
  Have you used the CD s compatible?

  In the manual, you should find a list of compatible CD s & s DVD.
  But be aware that the user guide lists only the manufacturers of CD and DVD and NOT sellers like TDK or Verbatim, etc...

  In the internet, you could find some freeware software that finds this which is the manufacturing of CD or DVD.
  Then, you can compare your CD/DVD with compatible manufacturers manufacturing and supported in the operating manual.

  If the CD or DVD is not listed as compatible support or supported various compatibility problems could appear.

• Satellite Pro A120 has network problems

  Mr President.

  I, Jayarajan.C.N, working as an Assistant Executive Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala, India.
  We had a laptop brand Thoshiba (Satellite Pro A120 type; PTA83L-08L02N model number; SL.no. Y6131B1488H) as part of a package of type brand MD - 2000 Tesient relay.

  We use this laptop for other official purposes also. It works smoothly.

  But we were faced with the following problems:
  1. we could connect the computer laptop in Local Area Networking with other desktop computers and laptop. But we could not transmit or receive data from the other computer.

  2. we could connect us the laptop to the network in ad-hoc mode wireless and the laptop showed the link as 'excellent '. But as in the case of LAN, data may not be transferred or received.

  3. we tried to use dial-up modem to the laptop. But we do not have internet access. The error showed was 'busy line (error 676) '. In fact, the line was not busy.

  4. we checked to access internet using Reliance Netconnect USB modem after installing its software. He also failed in showing the "username & passwords are wrong in this area.

  5. I added an init string in the Toshiba modem commands: AT & FX1. But before that, I made a mistake. I installed the Client Services for Netware. After that, the connection mode was changed. But I don't know how to uninstall "client services for Netware". I selected the account control user - change the way users log on or off, I received the following message: "client for Netware has disabled the display of welcome and quick user agrees." To restore these features, you must uninstall client services for Netware. As I said before, I don't know how to uninstall the same. Now during log on, I have to use ctrl + alt + delete to log on.

  After you have added the string init AT & FX1, I have only seen the modem trying to catch the net until the "veryfying username and password. But he could not catch the net. Please note that I had installed the client services for Netware. I saw that the modem has been "connecting" even after a few minutes and I noticed the system reacted very slowly.

  In short, we cannot achieve any type of networking and by error logging has been changed...
  We ask your advice detailed without delay.
  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you
  Dan Gent

  > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD burner does not burn audio and video files

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro A120 with a cd/dvd burner MAT * a uj-8415. It works very well with data Brüning, but...

  When you try to burn the MP3 files or video files on DVD or CD/r or any type of audio file, it suddenly gives me an error message telling me that the cd can no longer be used.

  I tried hole Sonic (RecordNow), through Nero 6, and also directly by dragging and dropping files, but all was in vain. This MATI * a uj-8415 machine has also made the same error while burning a DVD double layer.

  Again, the unit reads all types of CD and DVD and writes also all types of files with the exception of the audio and video.

  Can you help me please to solve this problem?

  Hello

  I know that some mp3 files and audio are protected against copying and burning on different CDs or DVDs so could not work? ¦

  Other reasons why you can't write these files to CD or DVD is simply a problem of compatibility between the STRANGE and the CD or DVD.
  According to my experience, not all CD or DVD is supported, and these compatibility issues are not really rare.

  I also have another idea.
  Have you heard of burning of problems caused by the bad registry entry? I mean the upper and lower filters...

  Please check this doc MS:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  .. .and see if it helps.
