• Satellite A10 - problem of the fan and processor speed

  Hello

  Recently, my computer stops and overheated while clunked there fan who told me that I had to clean the fan and the heat sink. I have it done, replaced everything and then turned back on my computer. The fan seems fine now except that it only lights up for about a second and a half and then cuts off. While the computer on, it is not overheating but the fan just trying her continue again and again and again and turns off after a second or two. I think to compensate, the computer is running only a percentage of its capacity because on top the fan doesn't work does not correctly, the computer is running about 50 percent more slow it was 10 seconds before it overheated.

  When I replaced the fan, I noticed that the card that turns the fan was wobbly, which would have something to do with it?

  Assistance, alternatives or insight would be extremely appreciated.

  Best regards, Niko

  Hi mate,

  In your case, it could be that the fan cable to the motherboard could be defective. Thus, you´ve has already removed it, just so it again, remove the fan and check if the cables and connectors are OK.

  If the fan or the cable is damaged, then replace the fan. IMHO the bearings could be faulty too, so it's another reason to replace this fan (and the fan is really NOT very expensive)

  If you need some parts, google for or ask an authorized parts service center:

• Problem with booting from a cΘdΘrom-Satellite A10 - S513

  I have a laptop, Toshiba Satellite A10-S513, who does not want to start from the CD.
  To crystallize the problem, when I want to move the arrow (right or left) to access the CD-ROM icon in Start menu, nothing will be selected and it starts automatically from the HARD disk. I tried to change the startup configuration, but I couldn't because the choice of start-up has been grayed out, although I use the account controller BIOS.
  What should I do to enable booting from CD, taking into account the fact that I had done the CD several times starting.
  A few tips:
  I upgraded the operating system win XP Home to XP Pro and then installed Service Pack 2.

  Hello

  Is there the same situation if you try to boot from the CD drive, hold the C key to the start-up of unit?

• Satellite A10: WinXP SP2 & problem sound :(

  Hello!
  I have laptop Satellite A10
  System - Windows XP and SP2
  The sound does not work :(

  Everything works without SP
  Help me!!!

  Hi sm,.

  When you want to download a driver there is a document entitled information update Microsoft Windows XP SP2. All right, I see the update for Driver Sound is not necessary for your A10.

  Check sound and Audio Devices Properties all settings anyway.

  Please also check your Volume control side dial on the front of your laptop. :)

• Satellite A10-wireless problem

  Hello! I have the Satellite A10 with integrated wireless Windows XP Professional. I was trying desperately to make wireless communication integrated works, but without success. Windows has found two "Base system device", and I suspect that one of them is the wireless. I tried to install different wireless drivers that are supplied with the CD for the laptop, but so far without success - Windows refuses to accept these drivers for unknown devices. No idea what I am doing wrong? I downloaded the latest drivers wireless for A10, but nothing has changed. One of my friends suggested that the BIOS must have a setting to toggle wireless, but I couldn't find this setting in the BIOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello
  Initially, you are sure that your computer has preinstalled absolute Wifi?

  To be sure about you could give me the complete Modelnumber or serial number.

  I am so lucky to find the installed equipment.

  THX & bye

• Problems about my mouse usb (Satellite A10)

  Hi all!
  To easily write my thesis, I bought a Trust friend mouse to use it on my Satellite A10. When it is connected to the usb port, the mouse is recognized by windows, but I can move the pointer only vertically. Mouse instructions say to disable the touchpad in the Bios, but I don't know how. What is a possible solution? What can I do?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Start your laptop and the meadows to the bottom of the ESC key. After that, you can see statement you just inside the BIOS with the F1 key. Check please if you can find the settings for the pointing device. There are a few options. You can change it with the space bar. I don't know, but there must be option called simultaneous or something like that.

  In this case, you can use the internal and external mouse at the same time. I would like to know if it works properly. ;)

  Good bye

• 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.

• 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: Modem - no dial tone error 680.

  Hello

  Seems to be a common problem search the ends of the net even if I have to find a solution.
  No dial tone error 680. Satellite A10 running Windows XP SP2.
  Interviewed modem-It's ok.
  Check wait for the tone. still not connect.
  Have tried different telephone cable, ISP, reinstall the drivers, control of the region (UK).
  Check the malware, corruption of the registry. Nothing there.
  Reinstalled from the Toshiba restore CD. Still the same problem.
  The BONES of config system permit
  Check for driver updates. None.

  Manage devices only show and COM ports if Port Modem Properties settings show that it is at COM3. have tried to change to COM4 - makes no difference.

  What is the solution?

  Hello

  This error almost always occurs because the computer cannot hear regular ringing when it picks up the phone line to dial through the modem.
  Unfortunately, there is no standard solution for this problem.
  Did you check that the modem is plugged into a phone point in the wall?

• satellite A10: no com3 don't dailtone

  We have a toshiba satellite A10 with a modem internal toshiba. (XP OPERATING SYSTEM)
  We lost the connection while working, and when we tried to reconnect there was no dial tone.

  the modem works fine after interrogation he under the modem diagnostics, but just to be safe, I also tried another card modem with the same results.
  the line is very good, I use it now.
  in Device Manager, I could not see an entry for the ports, so I did a scan of hardware, but which does nothing and then I added a Compote via the Add Hardware icon in Control Panel. This solves the problem I couldn't see the ports in the Device Manager but now the thus created com3 has a yellow exclamation point and tells me that the device cannot start code 10.

  So I deleted all the devices of yellow exclamation point and the modem, then restarted and after that the modem is immediately recognized and installed but her agrees not and they must be added manually with the same result of yellow exclamation point.

  Some people suggest I get into the bios and remove or disable the ports and then start but bios does not even an entry for the ports. I get into the bios by keeping ESC pressed to the commissioning and in fact Toshiba adds a nice button on the control panel with HWsetup that gives the same options.

  so now, I ran out of options and turn to experts for help.

  Thanks, Leo

  Hello

  Code 10 means that this device cannot start. I'm a little confused about your problem. First COM 3 is a virtual port and it is normal that this port is invisible. If this port is visible, it must be with exclamation yellow because it's the virtual port, no real hardware. But it is not necessary be installed with the Add Hardware Wizard.

  Your problem can be caused by many things.

  1. delete all entries with yellow exclamations. Search for hardware changes again. Now new modem is installed, and my opinion is that should now work correctly. But remember: you must make the new dial-up network connection and old must be deleted. It is very important because the old a lot of content of information settings that installed new Modem cannot use more. Also check the properties of your modem.

  2. after the installation of your modem card, there may be some conflicts with Modem from Toshiba. If you do not use the modem card all maybe more, is useful to delete all installed software.

  3. it is also possible that you have some dialer installed on your machine. Check it!

  If that doesn t work, please let us know. And if you create your connection again, tell us what a problem was.

• 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.

• Keyboard on my Satellite A10 error

  I have a portable satellite A10. It works very well, to accept a part: the keyboard. No reason, at some unpredictable point all the special keys on the right-hand side are mixed up (as of the key (,. / '=} etc.).) So, for example when I use the key / on the screen you will see =. I tried an external keyboard: same error. The problem can be resolved by restarting the computer, but it is up to each time.

  The laptop is purchased nov 2003, tried install several drivers, nothing has worked. Everyone recognizes this problem?

  Hello

  I guess the reason for your problem may be in the language settings. {[For example, if you have a keyboard of the France and the default input language is set to English, all the keys as & ^ _]} + will be mixed.

  Please check under the Control Panel regional and language under text services and input languages Options, you will find the Details button. Go ahead and check your default input language. Should set you your regional language.

  If you have some problems after that, please write again.

  Good luck!
