Re: Tight Satellite Pro A200 USB ports

Hello

I received my A200GE - 26Q Satellite Pro yesterday (yay!) and I was testing every bit of last night. The USB ports are extremely tight. I almost have the USB in the force and pull VERY hard to get it out. What develops these damage the ports/usb?

Also, is there anything we can do about it? I don't think that Toshiba will change that because they work and therefore are not eligible to be fixed under the warranty.

My DVD player is also quite noisy. Is this normal?

Hope you can help!

Help, please
Thank you
Edelweiss

Don t think that can damage anything, but if you connect or disconnect something and then be careful don't use force.

> My DVD drive is also quite noisy. Is this normal?
The CD/DVD drive is always a bit harder while working.
I guess that there s nothing unusual.

Best regards

    Even if it s really painful to get everything installed it again, I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

    > Could I have really damaged the MB. ??
    Well, it's hard to say before trying the recovery procedure.
    If the USB ports are not working after using the recovery disk (or HDD recovery), then of course: the mobo may be affected, therefore, in my view, the laptop must be set to the factory settings.

  • Satellite Pro L20 USB ports no longer work

    Hello

    A little bit ago, I experienced a few problems with my Satellite Pro L20. After he brought to life, I found out that the USB ports no longer work.

    Things I've tried so far:

    Reinstall the chipset drivers
    Update the BIOS.
    Ensure USB is enabled in BIOS
    Uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers via the Device Manager.

    The USB ports no longer work and I ran out of things to try. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If possible, try to install the operating system with recovery media. On this way, you will have to factory settings. It's the best test you can do. If the problem persists, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. Sorry but on this path is not easy to tell what the problem may be.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - USB port does not recognize the device

    My Satellite Pro M70 has three USB slots, one on the left and two (vertically one above the other) at the back of the laptop.

    The top slot to USB in the back started giving problems. Sometimes, my computer can't see all that I plugged in there. But if I unplug anything - usually the printer or the mouse - the computer will usually see it then.

    What is the problem? Can do nothing about it?

    My operating system is XP. and my laptop is 4.33 year.

    Thank you.

    Hi Mannix,

    Have you already updated the chipset drivers?

    I read in the forum about these questions and normally helps to reinstall the chipset driver. :)

  • Satellite Pro 6100: USB port does not work after the return of the mode "Eve"

    I have a strange error on my USB ports on Satttelite Pro 6100 with XP SP2.

    Two USB 1.1 ports work fine after cranking up what the laptop goes into mode 'sleep' (automatically or manually).
    The restart afret optical mouse connected to the USB port does not illuminate and the XP system displays the error message on the device not recognized on USB port.

    Plug the mouse on or off doesn't change anything. Only restart helps.

    Any ideas?

    It's very strange, but it will be interesting to see if the same problem persists with other USB devices. Can you test and post again on the results?

  • Satellite Pro L10 - USB port will not recognize devices

    Hello

    I got a L10 for 18 months. Under the guarantee, I got a replacement motherboard mounted. Everything has been ok so far. A USB port will not recognize devices, a port is ok, but randomly turns off a device attached to it and comes up with the message "USB device not recognized". The third port is ok all the time.

    Any solutions or suggestions?

    Post edited by: caddy

    I guess there is not enough power on the USB ports and external devices may not work correctly. It is not easy to say why this happens, but there may be a problem of welding.

    I recommend you contact the service again as soon as possible.

  • Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E is not grateful USB Sennheiser Headset

    Can someone let me know why my toshiba Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE7E is not auto recognition USB Sennheiser headphones?

    What do you mean with grateful self their? As far I know Sennheiser those with USB connection built into the sound card, and therefore, you will need to install the drivers.

    Sennheisers as well, but with normal stereo jack and not the USB ones. You may edit the specific model name.
    And to check if your system is your helmet in any case, go to control panel - system - device manager and see if something changes, when you plug in your headphones.

  • Two problems with my Satellite Pro A200

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200 of lamia with windows Vista.
    I found I can't connect to the internet or install hardware such as cameras or printers. The installation of the system software, but the actual hardware does not work. at first, I thought that it was not compatible, but I wonder if USB ports work correctly supposed that no matter what I connect to the top, cameras, printers, mp3 pc can't find the element even if it is automatically install advice?

    Also, I am trying to connect this pc to my existing internet connection on a desktop computer. Any advice on how to do it because nothing seems to work. Cable and wireless and the laptop has an internal modem.

    Indeed some older hardware options are not compatible with Vista. But if the 3rd party software supports Vista will not be problem using these devices.
    You know that Vista is a new OS and Microsoft releases patches and fixes regularly very important.

    I noticed this last fix that resolves to many USB issued under Vista:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941600/en-us

    I recommend the update to the Vista from time to time to fix some bugs in the OS

    > Also, I am trying to connect this pc to my existing internet connection on a desktop computer. Any advice on how to do it because nothing seems to work. Cable and wireless and the laptop has an internal modem.

    As you say your laptop is capable WLan so why you n t use the Wlan?

    I also recommend this site MS how-to:

  • The mouse no longer works on Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (on Windows and Linux)

    Hello. Suddenly, my USB mouse doesn't work on my satellite pro A200-1F9 laptop. I had this same problem on my Linux (Ubuntu Feisty) for the last week or two, but today was the first time that the mouse no longer works in Windows. Ideas for what's gone wrong? (If I boot Linux with the attached mouse, I get an error message when loading upward.) The mouse does not work it is logged at startup or I plug it later).

    Under Windows and Linux, the laptop still recognizes my external HD which also has a USB connection...

    Thanks, Shoko.

    In my opinion, you should test the USB feature. If you are 100% sure that the USB ports are working well check your mouse or try to use the other.

    Laptop mouse pad still works?

  • Satellite Pro A200 failing to connect with iphone via wifi hotspot

    My apologies if I get some of the jargon wrong, but I'm pretty useless when you want IT emits.

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and had problems connecting to various wifi connections.
    The computer could see the wifi connection and connect to it, but I wasn't able to connect to the internet.

    The question of the Office was arranged by our IT support guy (security settings on the new router we too complex for my PC or something like that), but he has not been able to solve the problem of not being able to connect to my iphone to use the 'hotspot' via the wifi function.

    Someone there knows a way to solve this, or is it a simple fact of the laptop is too old and really need to update?

    Thanks for any help that anyone is able to give.

    > Someone know a way to fix this or is it a simple fact of the laptop is too old and really need to update?

    This isn't a question of the age of the laptop
    As far as I know not that support all mobile operators
    You should first ask your mobile operator if you can use the tethering service.

    If this would be supported in my mobile operator, then connect the iphone to the laptop first
    So that you have two options: you can use the BT connection (in this case check if computer laptop also supports BT) or via a USB cable that came with the iPhone.

    (PS: as far I know to attach is supported by iOS3.0 and higher)

    After that the iphone was connected to the laptop, you must activate the tethering on iphone.
    Under settings of-> network, you should see the option internet tethering it must be enabled.
    Now you should be able to see that in the Network & Center sharing control panel.

  • Satellite PRO A200-1 s 1 with Windows 7 x 32. Touchpad does not work

    Hello world
    I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1 s 1, recovered all the drivers on the Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the webcam that doesn't work even with the previous s.o. XP or Vista...). But my Touchpad does not work... No Fn + F9, no drivers, nothing works. And in my control, Manager of Panel devices seem to be going well.
    Any suggestion?

    Hello

    You reinstall the driver for the touchpad?
    Check it!

    Also check if the option disable touchpad when USB mouse is connected is not checked. That are in the control panel-> mouse-> device settings

  • Additional SATA connector need for Satellite Pro A200

    Hello

    I own Satellite Pro A200 PC series laptop and I have room for additional hard drive. I don't have a different connector on the card but I see pins to add the connector.
    Same BIOS shows that there are two SATA ports. There is place for ssd 1.8 ". Anyone know what is the part No. This connector so that I can weld down another connector.

    Thanks in advance,

    Alen

    > I don't have a different connector on the card but I see pins to add the connector
    I assume you mean on the connector like this:

    [Pic 1 | http://www.newmodeus.com/dv9000/HPDV9000%20copy.jpg]
    [Photo 2 | http://www.newmodeus.com/dv9000/hd%20over%20dv9000%20caddy%20w%20arrows%20sml.jpg]

    In General if the second HARD drive Bay is equipped with a few pins where the connector could be connected, then you should be able to use additional HARD disk

    I think that the right connector can be ordered from Toshiba ASP or some online resellers of spare parts for laptop

  • Problems of the product on the Satellite Pro A200 recovery

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200. She runs very slowly and sometimes it crashes when I connect.
    Also the homepage was hacked and I tried several anti-spyware and they did not work.

    I have the product recovery disc, but the problem the DVD rom drive stopped working.
    The light is on, but it will not open unless you use the manual unlocking.
    I removed and checked the connections, but it seems okay.

    The CD-ROM/DVD-rom has disappeared from the Device Manager and does not come under the material.
    I tried the system restore, but it won't work.

    Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

    I tried to restart the computer and choose boot from CD, but it won't give me this option.
    I looked in the bios and only boot options it gives are hard disk, CD rom, land and FDD

    > Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

    No, this Toshiba recovery disc cannot be copied to USB flash memory and used for installing the OS. I'm afraid that it would work not m.

    But if you have a Microsoft Windows CD, you should be able to create a USB bootable flash stick. In internet, you will find lots of useful instructions step by step how create this bootable USB key.

    But boot from USB flash memory stick must be definitely possible since the BIOS supports bootable devices on:
    Drive floppy USB, HDD, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory

    Hi Peter,.

    Try you to an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If Yes, please try a new and clean Windows 7 installation. It work?

    Another question: your CD/DVD drive works properly or it appears with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?
    In your case, I would try to remove the drive from Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After that the drive will be recognized automatically.
