Sat Pro A120: Wireless Conectivity often falls.

Hi all!

Hope someone can help me here.
First: sorry for my English!

I am owner of the Satellite Pro A120. I only use the connection with what is provided by the defined Intel 3945 ABG wireless.
The machine runs on XP SP2.

When you are working on the laptop, aswell as on the card battery, every now and then the grave wireless conectivity. Immediately he reconnects. But it is especially embarrassing when I'm on the corporate network, so I work. I immediately make me driven.

To check if the wireless modem I use, I asked my girlfriend (who is also wireless connected with another laptop) If here connection fails as well whne mine. This is never the case. So, I thought: there must be something with the Toshiba.

Everyone recognizes this problem and has a solution?

I already did these things:
-Check the powersaving options are set to off ";
-Update the driver;

These actions have not solved the problem

thnx in advance!

Try to update the BIOS and visit the Intel page for the new version of driver WLan!
Especially the original Intel WLan driver from the Intel page version is a little more recent, and you should try to install it.

Best regards & good luck

  • Problem with Intel WM3945ABG Sat Pro P100 wireless

    I formatted my Satellite Pro P100 and re-installed XP Pro SP2 (after the driver installation guide for the Web from Toshiba site). Originally, when I installed the WiFi drivers, I didn't install the Intel wireless client as I wanted Windows XP zero config to do all necessary things. I came to use the WiFi on my Tosh yesterday with my wireless network and was faced with not being able to find either of my 2 AP - so after switch double check the WiFi was on, I started my spare laptop and found them immediately.

    Fortunately my spare laptop also has an Intel wireless card so I made sure that all my settings in the properties of the device match (best I could since one is a model of diff), but the default settings matched. I then continued to update the drivers from the Intel site - this time, I installed the Intel Wireless Client. I noticed that the Intel client icon in the system tray is lit blue (so I guess that its on), then changes the clear logo with a red on X. When I open the Intel customer and try to turn on the Radio via the menu dropdown but I get an error saying "the intel pro/wireless network connection is still disabled. Use your hardware switch to enable it. Although the wireless switch is on and the light orange light it up! Utility troubleshooting Intel said almost the same thing and the observer of events of Intel wireless display not all entries after cranking up what I am trying to turn on the radio via the client and the message I can get is "Radio off by IWA.

    In my frustration, I noticed that my keyboard has a function (FN + F8) key to activate wireless however I tried to load the hotkey Toshiba (& common Modules) wireless drivers U200 its not listed for the P100. Alas, no money after pressing FN + F8 will make any difference - I checked and the Toshiba Wireless HotKey (toshkcw.exe) runs in the 'process' of the Task Manager. Unfortunately, I've never tried this shortcut when I still had XP Home installed so I can only assume that HK is not supposed to not work.
    After that, I tried to uninstall the drivers again and reinstall the drivers from the Toshiba site downloads and always end up with the same problem.

    ... Is being short of formatting again and from scratch there anything else that I missed?

    Cheers for any help you guys can give!

    Hello

    It is really not easy to say what is missing here. As far as I know that satellite Pro P100 is already preinstalled (comes) with WXP Pro and I really don t understand why you try to install this new but without recovery media. Perhaps because of the other language?

    In any case, you can also install your own operating system. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in the correct order. Check the document facilities instructions on the download page.

    It will be really interesting to know if it was the problem with the factory settings. You cannot mix designed models of different laptops Toshiba tools because it is not the same (U200 tool for P100). This FN + F8 option should appear if the right tool or utility is preinstalled, but please don t ask me that one. It's really different from unit to unit and facilities plan is similar but not the same thing.

  • Satellie Pro A120 - network adapter wireless not recognized by any operating system

    Hello

    I have a satellite Pro A120 (I bought two - it's a long story!)

    A month ago, I replaced the battery as life batt had fallen to 30 minutes. As a result, there were major problems with windows and toshiba software compete on power management and the long and short it wasn't that XP needed to be reinstalled.

    However, due to the relocation, the wireless card is not recognized. It is not the card, I swapped it out of the computer and it works fine in my other A120. If anyone has any ideas as to why it would not be recognized and that I could do to remedy the situation?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Hello

    I have a 120-184 (1 year) and want to know if there a SATA or PATA interface? I need to upgrade the hard drive, but here? m do not know what model to buy... To be honest I don't really know the difference!

    Sorry for stupid questions,
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hey Buddy

    You need a SATA HDD.
    The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).

    As I m wrong not the satellite Pro A120 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive.

    I think you should be able to use the 100 GB or maybe a 120 GB hard drives.
    More big disk HARD s could not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

    In case you I would not try larger 120 GB HARD disk sizes.

  • Satellite Pro A60: Wireless router Questions

    Hi all
    I am a novice computer, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I just bought a BT Voyager router for Satellite Pro A60 mt, but can't seem to make it work!

    I was told that my Sat Pro has a built-in wireless inbulit receiver? (If yes how I turn it on?)
    When I conect the router to the phone line saying all the lights on the router everything is ok... but when I try to go to the line, NOTHING!

    Please can someone help me... ???

    Hello

    I checked the properties of the Satellite Pro A60 and it seems that the WiFi card is optional on this unit.
    In this case, you should check in Device Manager if the minPCI wireless network card is properly installed on your machine.
    On the right side of the laptop, you will find a switch ON / OFF wireless. If the wireless network adapter is enabled, the led at the front lights.

    Now something on the router. Each WLan router typically has an own software installation package. There should also be an instruction how to manage the router.
    You should check the router instruction

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

  • Why the Satellite Pro A120 fails to bootload?

    I am trying to unravel Pro A120, a friend he will not run the boot load sequence.

    everything looks OK in the BIOS: recognized HARD (SATA) and CD-ROM (IDE) disk.

    System check is OK.

    I tried to start the CD-ROM and HARD disk by sequencing to boot in the BIOS and you can also select one of them to start using the function key.

    All that happens is that I have a comparable to blinking cursor to a command prompt and wait for the loading of boot sequence start.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

    Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
    Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
    Have you tried the following:
    Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
    It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
    It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
    I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
    I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
    I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
    I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
    I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
    See you soon

    Hey Buddy,

    > It turns on but not at all to see clear
    This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

    It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

    In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

    Good luck! :)
