• Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

  HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
  A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

  Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

  I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

  Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

  THX in advance people.

  Hello James

  IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

  In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

  Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

  Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

• Satellite Pro A10: IDE #1 error - drive doesn't appear unless the CD is inserted

  Hello

  I've been recently wearing on my bed watching a DVD when I fell asleep with the laptop sitting next me on my bed. During the night, however I moved and he accidentally knocked on the side of my bed.
  The next day when I booted up the loading it said IDE #1 error since then I understand it is a mistake to CD/DVD drive, the device works very well, starts ok (except the IDE error) and I can use it as usual except that there is no DVD drive in 'My computer', which is a bit of a pain when I want to watch a movie/play a game or install something.

  The drive itself is completely insensitive, when I press the button to eject the tray, it doesn't do a thing.
  I decided to try to remove and put back the drive to see if it was struck just loose when he fell of the bed as he fell only in short way (approximately down to 18 ".)

  I removed all the covers on the bottom of the laptop and checked that all was in place correctly and to try to understand how to remove the drive but would not do too adventurous as to worsen the situation, the only thing I have done is to remove the CPU fan and remove a few stuffed animals and remove the HARD drive and glanced to make sure it was not damaged in any place) It wasn't) and then replaced and replace all covers.

  When I rebooted the system, it started fine as usual, and the player react when I press the eject button, but the DVD player (sometimes) will now appear in 'My computer', but only when I insert something (be it a DVD/game/program), then it displays the error message an error of e/s on the device there.

  Any help of you all would be a great help, I thought just remove the drive and replacing it with a new one as a DVD RW one but I do not know how, I would be very grateful for advice and guidance you could provide.

  Thank you very much
  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  It is possible that the relocation of your optical drive may be necessary to refer it to the full. Unfortunately on the A10, it will be dismantled in order to achieve its screws located under the keyboard.

  Please see the following link for the complete disassembly instructions. The DVD player is covered in step 13. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA15/SatelliteA15_laptop_disassembly_1.htm

• Black screen on Sat Pro A10

  Hello

  I have a Sat Pro A10.

  My problem is that my screen is so dark, that I can't see the content (maybe it's the backlight?). However when the computer starts, I can see the login screen of Toshiba fine. I also have the image if normal poster if I close the lid, and then open it. However the screen will stay only normal for a few seconds.

  Anyone have any ideas what is wrong here? Why does the screen work at boot and then deceive you? Is this a hardware or a software problem?

  Any help would be great.

  Hi Alex,

  It sounds like a problem with your inverter FL. You will need to take your laptop to a partner of Service allowed for it to be repaired or replaced.

  Kind regards

• Windows XP system is unstable and slow - Sat Pro A10

  Do not know if I have a Windows or a HDD problem :/

  Systems have become unstable a few days ago and started to slow down. Finally started getting delayed Windows disk write errors.

  Current situation is that Web pages with javascript on them don't work (windowsupdate, ms webmail sites), and some local programs seem not to launch (information system).

  Tried the upgrade of IE. I tried MS supports javascript trobleshooting. Run the check disk and defrag of many times.

  Think to take (Sat Pro A10) in a repair shop, but not 100% convinced that it's the hard drive that I can't find anything that verifies records that suggests a problem :(

  Any help?

  Hello

  Just a little tip: one day, when you have time, you can search for HDD Regenerator tools on the net. With this tool, you can check if the HARD drive is OK. It is always good to know that the disc has no bad sector HARD and because of this cause, to slow down the pace of operational or OS even total crash.

• Re: Sat Pro A10 and Sat 10 - the difference - need new keyboard

  Hey all!

  New ID as I am garbage to remember the passwords/log on emails...

  I have a Satellite Pro A10, which needs a new keyboard - there's loads are circulating on ebay for Satellite A10 - but not the Pro - now I'm almost 100%, it'll be the same keyboard - right? the 'Pro' ILO denounces just usually extras bits and things qhizzy-, but basically they are the same hardware platform slot - i.e. the same keyboard between the A10 Sat and Sat Pro A10

  Anyone?

  : D thank you in advance for letting me sleep at night!

  I agree with you. There is not much difference, and the construction of the laptop is the same.
  I'm 100% sure that the keyboard is the same.

• Satellite Pro A10 comes with: error IDE #0, PXE-E61media test failed

  I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite pro A10.
  When I received it, it was working and being a noob I tried to install a network card and create a wireless network with my desktop using XP when it did not work I plugged my ethernet (from my desktop) cable on the laptop and flashed upwards with a small number can not? dll etc etc.

  Now I unplugged the ethernet cable and when I try to boot my laptop it comes up with:

  "ERROR IDE #0".
  Intel (r) bootagent, FE v4.1.09

  PXE - E61: Media test failed, check that the cables
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent
  Insert system disk in drive
  Press any key ".

  HI Tom,

  The error message that you receive indicate that your laptop is trying to start the connection to the LAN rather than from his own hard drive or a CD-ROM. I suggest that you verify that the boot sequence is specified correctly in your BIOS, or alternatively, you can press F12 during your market and you should get the boot device menu sequence appears so that you can specify that you want to boot from your hard drive.

  Kind regards

• Restore media for a Sat Pro A10

  Hi, I lost my press kit for my Sat Pro but unable to download the drivers from the support site... everytime I try I just get a message saying that the file is not found. Can I download an ISO of the restore media, or someone can look at the download page for this laptop.

  Hello

  First of all, you can not download an ISO of the Toshiba Recovery CD image file!
  You can buy the CD of restoration but not download.

  If you wish, you can contact the ASP in your country and ask for this CD. It s not expensive.

  Regarding you driver problem;

  Well. I have checked the page of European disc of Toshiba and was able to download drivers for Satellite Pro A10.
  So I know exactly why you can't download the drivers but there is nothing wrong with the page.

• Satellite Pro A10: Extraction failure error occurs during my recovery procedure

  Im trying to run recovery disks on my Satellite Pro A10 but after 20 seconds trying to install recovery disc 1 gose black screen and message in corner says extraction failed.

  Can you help me please?

  Have you tried to format and delete partitions on HARD drive integers before performing the installation from the recovery CD?

  Something similar happened to me. I wasn't able to install the OS from the recovery CD.
  I simply used the original Windows CD and you have formatted the whole HARD drive.
  After this procedure the recovery CD installation worked a lot.

• IDE #0 error on Satellite Pro A10

  We have a Sat Pro A10, which displays the following error at startup; IDE #0 error.
  The bios does not appear a hard drive.
  Have you tried a new hard drive, the same error

  Hello

  This error is certainly due to the HARD drive. If there is no success with the new HARD drive should be problem with contacts or HARD disk on the motherboard controller.

  Please contact your dealer or the Toshiba ASP. Really, I don't think you can do anything alone.

• Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E: NO sound after installing Win XP

  Hello world

  I had to reinstall Win XP Home - which went well, however - now there is no sound and it says no audio device is installed. I tried to install the audio drivers on the Toshiba CD but they go as far as unpacking but then say "not installed" and Setup stops.

  I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and follow the menu to identify which drivers to download? but there are several possibilities for the
  Model A - 10 and I am not sure I have listed below models have.
  A10-S100, A10-S1001, A10-S127, A10-S128, A10-S129, A10-S1291, A10-S167, A10-S169, A10-S1691, A10 S177, A10-S178.

  I would be grateful for your advice.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  > I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and followed the menu in order to identify which drivers to download, but there are several possibilities for model A-10

  What you mean? On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find only one series Satellite Pro A10.
  Once again; Do you have a computer or a Sat Pro A10 laptop satellite A10?

  There is a driver of sound for a portable Pro A10. This is a version of audio driver Analog Devices 5.12.01.3542.
  If you are using XP SP2 please check the information provided on the page of the driver Tosh

• Satellite Pro A10 stops after 15 minutes of internet games

  Hello
  When I play games on the internet such as zuma, scherwoods my laptop sat pro A10 stops after 15 min of game
  When I start my laptop it read disk
  What can do what
  [email protected]

  Hello

  I think overheating is the problem. First of all, you can try is to clean the machine properly. I guess the CPU and graphics card works very intensive and produce a lot of heat. If the equipment cannot be cooled properly the laptop stops suddenly.

  Clean it up.

• Satellite Pro A10 HDD upgrades

  Deploy a satellite pro a10. To upgrade HDD 2181 30 GB to a bigger drive, but don't know which drives are supported. Have founf Toshiba HDD 2188 80 GB which could do the job, but the Interface is different. His ATA - 6 rather than ATA - 5 on the old disk. Would this work? or if anyone knows of a reader that works id good to know

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Sat Pro A10 has been delivered with 3 different drives - 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB.
  In my opinion the 40 GB is a maximum size of HARD drive support. It is possible that the BIOS could not acknowledge more large drives.
