Re: Satellite Pro A40 - cannot find the boot order in the BIOS

Hi, we have a very old A40 Satellite Pro with a new hard drive.

We are tryng to change the boot order in the BIOS to recognize the CD player ready for the windows disk. However, there seems to be no option to change the BIOS not boot order, and Yes, we tried the road from Toshiba which suggests press C during startup until and F12 to select the drive during boot, or what kind of work.

Please can someone help?
concerning
Karl

PS: The current message on the screen during startup is THAT BOOTMGR is missing

Hi karl1966,

Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?

Maybe your drive is noisy and you should try another. I put t disc you used but try with Toshiba and Microsoft Windows disk recovery disk.

  • Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

    This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

    I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

    I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

    Pics:

    PCMCIA slot

    The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

    Wireless network card

    Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

    Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

    Hi Steve

    Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
    There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
    Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

    But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

    Good luck

  • Cannot find the BIOS for Satellite 1900-803

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satalite s1900-303 (model number-ps192e-00g1n-en) and I'm not.
    I have somehow locked myself out of the laptop. I used to haver a password to use the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    Somehow the password has changed and that's why I can't use the laptop at all. I contacted toshiba store and theyu said to use a loopback serial cable to fix it somehow and he also mentioned in an attempt to crush the bios with a new.

    I would like to try this, but I can't find the Bios or drivers. I was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem please.

    PS: When regestering on the toshiba site I had to enter the serial number for the laptop.
    The model under my name says 1900-803 when the sticker on the laptop clearly said 1900-803

    Hello

    > I have somehow locked myself on the laptop. I put a password for the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    I think that you have set the BIOS password.
    Unfortunately, the BIOS password can be removed from the laptop if you n t know the old password.
    You can not remove also the BOS password by updating the BIOS. If you would try to update the BIOS while the password is set then the ROM module flashes not properly and you laptop will not boot! It s dangerous!

    Only Toshiba authorised service provider can remove the BIOS password. Ask the technicians!

  • Satellite T110-11U - cannot find the router WLAN

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite T110-11U. Have had since February and loved it-fortunately it wireless used throughout the House. Then one day on a month, unless I was in the same room that the wireless router, Wireless does not work. I have 2 other laptops (and iPhone) which still connect wirelessly throughout the House and the garden without problem.
    As you can imagine, it was very strange. When I take in the garden, my other laptops are all networks wireless in the region, but my Toshiba can't find any.

    Suspecting it was a driver problem, I made sure that the wireless drivers are up-to-date. With no joy, I got the system as it was at the time of purchase (do a complete restoration by interupting, starting and leaving the hard drive to be deleted and reinstalled etc.). Still the same problem. I even changed the rooms in which the router is, and the same problem - the Toshiba cannot find the router unless the router is located a few meters from the laptop.

    Until I lose the will to live, can anyone suggest the cause of my problems, or is it time I admitted defeat and brought back to the Comet under warranty (where likely test next to a wireless router and tell me everything is fine!).

    Thank you very much

    Steve.

    Hey Buddy,

    Did you check if the wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager? There may be a yellow exclamation or unknown device. Try also updating the driver WLAN from Toshiba Web site:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    See all other WLAN routers?
    The wireless network card can be activated using a combination of keys FN + F8 and in the BIOS. In the BIOS, you should also load default settings and test again.

  • Satellite Pro A40 - cannot connect WIFI tstablish

    Hi guys

    I have a Satellite Pro Model: PSA45E - 0184H - EN

    Problem is I can not establish a wireless connection, the laptop can not be set automatically detect wireless networks?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi robs1971,

    Is your wireless network card equipped laptop? I ask this question because some Satellite Pro A40 models did not have WLAN features so I would be important to know if you have WLAN or not.

    Also check device manager if the wireless network card is installed correctly. Make sure that this latest WLAN driver is installed, and check the Toshiba WLAN Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If WLAN network is within reach and SSID is not hidden the computer will automatically recognize. Then you need to enter the encryption key and that s all! :)

  • Satellite Pro S300 - cannot extend the desktop to an external monitor

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro S300 and it won't extend the desktop to an external monitor / projector, but it will clone the desktop?

    so far I have tried:
    2 instructors and 1 projector all do the same thing, will clone but not extend.
    Reinstall the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site.
    Reinstall the latest drivers of change on the Toshiba site.

    But nothing worked, I even checked my S300 colleagues to make sure that I use the same parameters and their (of 2 other s300) extend and clone office.

    Has anyone seen this before and how solve you the problem?

    Paul

    Did you first remove the old driver before you install the new driver? If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver again. Therefore, to remove the old driver, restart the computer, use CCleaner to clean the registry and install the new version you can find on the Toshiba site.

    More I would try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

    I hope it works for you.

  • Satellite Pro U300: Cannot see the HARD drive during the installation of XP

    Due to the restrictions of the network must downgrade the operating system on a new satellite Pro U300. I am unable to run the XP + sp2 cd as it says there is no hard drive installed on the machine. I guess it's because I need 3 scsi drivers or third-party raid.

    Does anyone have these or know a place where I can get my hands on them? Or am I completely off the mark that you have another solution?

    Hello

    You need the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility for the management of your local storage, including the RAID support.

    On the European driver Toshiba page I found Robson tea for Vista package which includes the Intel Matrix Storage Management utility.

    The same can be downloaded from the Intel page for the XP operating system.

    I found this on the page of Intel:
