Replacing the fan cooling on Satellite Pro A120

My fan has stopped working and I need a replacement. I have an origin, but cannot get the laptop apart. I unscrewed everything I can think of, but the laptop will not party near the DVD player.

I take the itelf road out to reveal a hidden screw? Can anyone offer advice on how to do it. Thank you

I m wondering why do you if you have no experience with the disassembly of the laptop.
Such action could damage other expensive parts like motherboard, etc.
I think that your warranty is no longer valid

First the CD/DVD drive must be removed I m not 100% sure, but I think that the CD drive is fixed with two screws. one at the bottom of the unit and the second screw under the keyboard.

Look man it looks like, but as it s a first time for you and, therefore, it would be advisable to ask the technician for this work!

    Thank you

    Before you exchange the cooling fan you have to disassemble everything laptop. How this is described in the manual, but the problem is that this document is not a public document, so you won't be able to find it for download.

    I guess that's portable US model, so you can ask for help on the Toshiba U.S. forum.

  • Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

    I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

    I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

    I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

    And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

    In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

    8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

    Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

  • Replace a keyboard on a Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    A replacement for is keyboard come for a satellite Pro A120. It needs to be replaced due to one of the door-clip cap was broken off and is now the key in place.

    Can someone guide me through the replacement of the keyboard on this device please?

    Thank you
    Steve

    Hello

    Usually something like this should be done by a technician because the replacement of the keyboard could cancel the validity of the warranty!
    Anyway.
    To set the keyboard with the 2 screws that are hidden beneath the thin cover above the F1, F2, etc. keys

    -Insert the tip of your finger into the slot on each side and remove the door-keyboard.
    -Remove the 2 screws securing the keyboard.
    -Lift the upper part of the keyboard while freeing up the hook and turn the keyboard
    face down on the palmrest.
    -Remove the 1 screw and plate of keyboard.
    -Disconnect the keyboard cable from the CN3230 connector on the system board and
    Remove the keyboard.

    All that s. But as said above, if you have no experience and don't want to lose the warranty, contact the technician!

  • Can be upgraded the firmware on my Satellite Pro A120 to accept SDHC cards

    I have a Satellite Pro A120 and use the slot for SD card frequently, however, the capacity of memory cards can sometimes be restrictive, is it possible to update the firmware for SDHC cards and if so, how.

    Hello

    Unfortunately not possible since it s card reader has NO firmware and it s a stand-alone device that has nothing to do with the BIOS (firmware) of the machine.

    So, if she can't simply do not support. :/

  • Not able to install the common module on satellite Pro A120

    Hi guys:
    I recently reinstalled xp professional on my satellite pro A120. I could download and install the main drivers of http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com and my phone is functional. However, I did not all sounds and (F6 & F7 and toggle) function keys not working, even after insalling the sound card. I read some of the posts on this forum and found that I needed insall the 'common' module to make them functional. I downloaded the driver from module common too, but when I run the Setup it starts initially, but fails both the configuration is complete.

    The same thing happens also with a few other drivers as saver of energy etc... I was not able to run the Setup program for the common module & driver power saver, basically, nothing happens after I have the respective installation.

    Can anyone help please?

    Pravesh

    As far as I know on the download page you can find the installation instructions with exact installation document order how to install drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
    You have installed all the stuff after this installation order?

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Satellite Pro A100

    Hi all

    Just a quick question about the graphics card in my Satellite pro a100 computer laptop. I heard different stories about this.

    The ATI RAdeon Mobility x 1400 card can be replaced on this laptop. If so how easy it is to do and how I could tell which cards would be compatible?

    Thank you

    MAcca.

    You cannot remove, replace or update the graphics card.
    The graphics chip is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it.
    In addition, the motherboard is compatible only with the current graphics chip.

    Good bye

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite Pro M10

    Are there requirements on what kind of HD, I can use,

    for example it does not matter if I chose one of them (not thinking of which one will be faster):
    Toshiba MK6026GAX 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 16 MB)
    Toshiba MK6032GAX, 60GB (5400 RPM, ATA-6, 8 MB)
    Toshiba MK6034GAX 60 GB (5400 RPM, ATA100, 8 MB)

    with sincere friendships.
    Vincent Jansen

    I don t think that there might be a problem with these drives.
    A HARD disk supports an ATA100. But if the controller of the laptop will not support the ATA100 laptop will not use the full transfer of performance and data on the HARD drive. That all the s, but the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive without any problem

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120-189 - RAM who do I take for the upgrade?

    Hello everyone

    I want to upgrade the RAM for my Satellite Pro A120-189, model number PSACIE-05V021EN, as the laptop is quite slow (I use Vista 32 bit business).
    I was wondering what is the maximum RAM for my laptop, and how compatible RAM module I might add (for now, I have 1 GB of RAM).

    Thank you in advance for your help!
    Best
    Husband

    Hello

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This is why you must use two modules of 2 GB with DDR2 (533 MHz) technology.

    You can get new RAM to each computer store or authorized service provider. I have good experiences with high-quality Kingston modules.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

    I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

    I was hoping you could advise me.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Hello!

    Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
    Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

    However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
    But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.
