  Hello

  Well, if the AC adapt is plugged and the yellow/orange flashing light, so it could be a power supply error.
  If the unit works only with the battery and flashing light orange so it could be a low capacity battery or the machine is not plugged in.
  I think you should contact the service partner to solve this error.

  Good bye

• Satellite A10, how will we change access BIOS Menu?

  I have a big problem with the Toshiba Satellite A10.
  I want to re install Windows XP by starting in the CD Rom, but by default, the startup is for HD.

  Turn on my laptop, pressins press ESC, then F1, we have the menu of the BIOS, BUT we can only change the time and the password.
  I don't know how for the Windows BOOT PRIORITY to change the setting.

  Please help me!
  I would change the Boot Configuration, but impossible in the menu of the BIOS even by perform F12 key when from the laptop.

  Hi nclaude,

  Normally, you enter by turning on the laptop by pressing the ESC key, then F1 to bios.

  If you can only change the time, it could be that you without administrative rights in the bios.

  Perhaps you or someone else has entered a supervisor password to save the bios of unauthorized changes!

  But you can also boot CD-ROM by pressing c (for the cd Rom) in the startup process.

  hope this helps you

• Satellite A10: I lost the recovery CD - how do I get one?

  Hello

  I am trying to reinstall Windows XP on my Satellite A10, but I lost the recovery CD.
  I had a 'normal' Windows XP installation CD I try to use to reinstall, but installation will not take the serial number on the botton of my laptop...

  Do you know what is a workaround for this?
  And ultimately how to get a copy of the installation CD...

  Best regards

  Even

  The key that is located on the bottom of the unit is only an OEM key.
  This means that it only works with the OEM preinstalled and bundled with the laptop version. Simply said, you can't use this key with other Windows operating systems.

  If you want to reinstall the operating system from the original Windows CD, then you must use the key that belongs to this CD!

  However, you can order a new CD from recovery of the ASP in your country.
  Simply contact the guys. They might help you to order.

• Satellite A10-S177: flashing main indcator

  I have a Satellite A10-S177 that won't start. When the plug by hand or the main battery indicator flashes amber color and nothing happens when you press the button.
  It seems to be a pace in the 2 flashing flashes, 2 flashes 3 flash remains for a second then 2 blinks then stop for 2 seconds and so on. I checked the power supply and I have 15 volts output.

  Can you help me?

  Thank you

  Hi John,.

  The sequence of flashing normally indicates a hardware failure in Notepad. Unfortunately, you will need to have the ckecked from the unit by an authorized Service partner to diagnose what exactly is the problem.

  Kind regards

• How to recover the Satellite A10?

  I have a Satellite A10.
  After insering the recovery disc 1 a tab instead of tab C. Now I'm back and I have no idea how to do to return to my homepage or drive D to continue the recovery. I have no idea how to use BACK.

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused
  The recovery procedure is very easy and you n t need to do anything in the BACK.

  In order to recover the laptop, you will need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

  Satellite A10 series is old and the recovery procedure is different in the new procedure, but you should certainly receive some messages how product

  I recommend repeat get back again;
  Put the right recovery disk in the drive and boot from the CD by pressing the C key. You can use F12 and then you may choose the CD/DVD drive in the boot menu

• Re: Satellite A10-S100 - how to replace the keyboard?

  I need to replace the card key of my Satellite A10-S100.

  What are the steps I should follow? I have to unscrew all the screws in the back?

  Hi mate,

  You never exchanged a keyboard or any other part of the equipment of a laptop? Well, maybe you should ask a technician for laptop help

  I m not Satellite A10 owner but normally you remove the keyboard first (between the keyboard and display) bracket. Under the keyboard support, you will find a few screw now the keyboard. Remove them and then you can lift the keyboard but be Ume with the cable on the underside of the keyboard.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A10 - how to get the new job of CPU?

  Hi all

  Cut long story short:

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A10 former model Celeron 1.8 Ghz processor, running Windows XP SP3.

  Just bought a 2.5 Ghz Celeron processor SL75T, verified even FSB, same PIN, compared to the current 1.8 Ghz via Ebay.

  Do you have a swap and replace the 1.8 Ghz with the last 2.5 Ghz, the laptop is able to start, but it just hangs before entered into normal windows.

  I tried safe mode, it went smooth, however intermittently crashes, too, but unless I could enter and change some settings.

  Initially thought it was the power of thermal design of the 24.5W old abreast 35W. Although without any solid evidence to me i.e. get made reliable on temperature processor 3rd party software (coz the 3rd party software cannot run in safe mode environment), the fan is still running strong, just changed new fan not too long.

  My hunch is that, when I was in Safe Mode Windows, I could see that in the list of the hardware in the Device Manager, the processor is still showing old clocked at 1.8 Ghz and not the latest 2.5 Ghz? However, when I right click on my computer and select Properties ==> system properties, it is show 2.49 Ghz-very good, just not inside the hardware of the Device Manager list. I tried to uninstall, but it still does not work after that several reboot.

  I don't think that there is no driver for the change of processor, what should I do to avoid this 2.5 Ghz to hang up every time before, it tries to go in normal windows? I think that this should be an operating system problem I right? (not sure) Please enlighten. Thank you!!

  Hello

  in my opinion, your motherboard is not strong enough to continue to run this processor and any 2.5 Ghz Celeron processor SL75T has the same FSB and the stem.

• How to install Hotkeys on Satellite A10 521

  Hello

  I had the problem earlier by installing common modules. The installation program does not start but if look at the registry, I have a key named common Modules:
  MEU computador\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA

  I tried to install shortcuts for hotkey-dd-xp-100010002-.zip. I did a right click on Tfnf5Wxp.inf (in directoryhotkey-dd-xp-100010002-en\WinXP)

  I can see now a REG_BINARY named TFnF5 in the TOSHIBA\Common Modules\Run key

  He unfortunately didn't improve the behavior of the hotkeys on my Satellite A10-521. Which may stem from the fact that the windows version is Portuguese?

  I wonder if it might be a good idea to spend the large amount of time to install a XP Home Edition french (as it was in the beginning) instead of a Portuguese XP pro?

  Hello

  For me it s a clear case. According to your message you have an error message common modules. Toshiba common modules are very important and necessary to run other tools of Toshiba.

  I would recommend so reinstall the common modules again!

  The European Toshiba driver page provides the * Module common v6.01.00 * for Win XP.

  Download and install this utility!

  Good luck and best regards

• How can I remove the flashing lights on the photos?

  It's very strange and really curious what it is. Sometimes on the images, e.g. bing images and even now on my flash drive images, there are little flashing lights that looks almost like Christmas lights usually located on dark areas of images. Simply load the flash player and seen even on here so I wonder if it has anything to do with the flash player. Has anyone ever heard talk about this before? Thank you

  original title: strange lights on photos

  OK I got it is VLC it. While playing a video with VLC, images appear in this way. Strange one indeed lol.

• Satellite A10 dies after the power LED blink

  Hello

  I have a problem with the power supply of my Toshiba Satellite A10. Sometimes, after the computer sat for some time, I have a problem with the power. The "plugged power cable" - LED will start to blink and shortly after, the computer just dies.

  It can also have the time to go into a lower energy state before he does. When it happened once, it will most likely happen also when I restart the computer, but after a much shorter time. WXP won't even have time to start. If I stop to select the source of start-up, the problem will occur anyway, this isn't the software. It should also be noticed that when the computer is not turned off, the 'smart power' - is on correctly.

  I know that my battery is not very good. Completely loaded, the computer can run for maybe 3 minutes with only the battery. I know that I must have a battery connected, even if I use the power cable, but this occurs even when the mine problem. The battery would be pretty bad not even allow me to use the computer with a cable?

  It should be added, that sometimes I can use the computer for long periods of time without this problem to happen. I also have a problem with the battery not being not properly in physical contact with the pins of the computer, but this isn't the problem here, because I have the same problem with the battery removed and me holding the battery in place.

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  You description is very long and detailed and it of still not easy to say what's wrong.
  Usually, the DC-In witness lights up green when DC is provided FRO the AC current. If the output voltage of the adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  So I think that is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

• Cannot start by Satellite A10-S703 from sleep mode

  My boss gave me a Satellite A10-S703 running windows XP. I was tooling autour, when suddenly the computer is in sleep mode (LED flashes orange). I tried pressing the power button, but nothing happens. What should I do? I am seriously at the end of the roll and will be in hot water if I can't get the thing started. Help, please.

  Hello

  It of very strange that the laptop switches mode standby during the work on this.
  Anyway, you can try this way:
  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery from the laptop and wait several times. It's not easy to tell how long to wait but wait 10-15 minutes

  Replace the battery in the notebook, and then connect the power adapter. Try turning on the laptop computer.

  To my knowledge, this is a common procedure if such question comes on the laptop.
