Satellite A205 - commissioning and removal/insertion of batteries

My Satellite A205-S4607 will be two years old in May 2009 (bought from a retailer).

Have been reasonably satisfied with the equipment, but in the few months several times I had to start questions. But the solution so far, fortunately, turns out to be simple. I just remove and reinsert the battery and boot performs as usual. What is a warning of something sign? This has happened about three times over a period of 4 months or more. It just happened again today. Is this normal?
I take with me more that I used for what could be a contributing factor with the movement, but do not see why it would work loose.
After all, laptops have been designed to move.

Thanks in advance for everyone's going in!

Hmm, this should not be a common behavior of mobile. I want to say that I've never noticed this problem on one of my laptops Satellite

Just a question; Update you the BIOS to the latest?

You should do this! I noticed that new BIOS version come out from time to time, and if this strange question appears then you should check if a BIOS update would improve the functionality of the laptop.

  • Need suggestions Satellite A205-S5841 and Satellite A300-1EC

    Hello

    I need to hear now, I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 - S5841 what Dual Core 1.73 GHz.
    I intend to buy the Toshiba Satellite A300-1EC, which is Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz...

    Tell me is interesting?

    Its your choice. The A200 is too slow with the Applications that you use? Do you need to improve 3D performance? Photoshop takes too long to process the images?

    The A300 would have a faster graphics chip, faster memory, more fast/more big HDD, better connectivity, perhaps more memory, more features, grunt a little more CPU.

    Take a look at the specifications in the Brochure and decide if elements or the quicker features you would enjoy. My friend has an A300 with facial recognition (and FM radio I think!), its quite a good machine :)

    A downgrade to Windows XP should not be a problem.

    On the Web from Toshiba site we I didn t found any drivers, only a few for WiFi, reader of cards and to this day.
    But I think that this would not be a problem because you can search on external Web sites for drivers like Intel, Realtek, etc.

    Hey,.

    After installing Windows 7 have installed all of the important drivers that you can find?

    Your model of laptop is an American model, and so you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba U.S. page tools:

  • Re: Satellite A205-S5825 - not recognized by firewire DV camcorder

    I have a Satellite A205-S5825 and I can't recognize my Canon DV camcorder connected by a firewire cable.

    The same camera works perfectly with my desktop PC. My wife also has a Satellite, an A215 and it does not recognize the camcorder either. All 3 computers are running XP SP3.

    Can anyone throw any light on this? I really want to use my laptop for video editing, as my office is somewhere else.

    Thanks in advance
    600

    What do you mean with the camera is not recognized? You get a notification that a device is connected or you see an unknown device in Device Manager?
    Have you installed the software for the camera?

    Maybe you can solve the problem with an update of the BIOS. Check this on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A205-SP5820 - problem with microphones

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-SP5820, and it's been almost two months that my microphone stopped working (external & the built). Today, I installed three different drivers (the one downloaded from softonic, one page Web from Toshiba and the other from Realtek)
    They still do not work.

    What can I do?
    Thank you.

    That really strange, you have this problem with the internal and external microphone.
    The configuration of the laptop is not known to me, but if you have tried the mixture of different drivers I don't think it is unique to the pre-installed driver.

    I think that best option for you will be clean OS installation but using the Toshiba recovery image you have with your laptop. Toshiba recovery image contains fine work and drivers tested so if the problem will still be there, it can be hardware only question about.

    Clean OS installation option is right for you?

    Hello

    I'm 99.9% sure that you can use this disk, but in my opinion you should spend it with HARD drive with more capacity. I think 200 or even 250 GB should work just fine with your laptop satellite.

    I know that European Satellite A200 is supported up to 250 GB HDD.

  • BOOTMGR is missing message on Satellite A205-S5812

    Well, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A205-S5812 and is having some problems.
    Whenever I turn it on I get a black screen with the words bootmgr is missing.

    Is there a way to fix this?
    I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to understand. I can access the command prompt via the cd to repair, but it does not recognize drive c:...
    So I looked around and realized that I have a drive X: with 31.3 MB of free space of 33.7 MB.
    I have Windows Vista, so if anyone can help, I love you!

    Also, for some reason I can't do startup repair in the system recovery options.

    Hello

    The bootmgr is missing + error because s Vista Boot Manager is found on the HARD disk.
    The boot manager could be a shame because of a few problems with your HARD disk.
    The part of the error message reads:
    > Problem Signature 06: BadDisk

    It is clear that there is a BadDisk and that's why I come to the conclusion that your HARD drive should malfunctions.

    I found your other thread that describes a problem of HARD drive:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=141608

    Well, I think you need to replace the HARD drive and then must use the Toshiba Recovery disk to reinstall the operating system.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A205-S5831: TouchPad tapping cannot be disabled - SOLUTION

    There are several other online on the same forums, and I felt Toshiba was the best place to post the solution to the problem.

    Description of the problem: cannot turn off the tap of the mouse to click the feature of Vista. Synaptics driver has the opportunity to turn the feature on, and outside, but it is grayed out.

    Other forums suggested to uninstall and then reinstall the Synaptics driver. Get the latest Toshiba, or get the latest driver from Synaptics driver but none of this has worked for me. However, it claimed the driver Synaptics of Synaptics.com worked for him or her.

    Here is my solution on 2 forums on geekstogo.com (what kind of name is that anyway?):

    I had exactly the same problem and I feel obligated to post the solution I found that it would have saved me hours and maybe he will save the next person hours. I hope that everyone uses the same courtesy so forums like these are useful.

    I have a solution, but first let me vent. This problem has been quite the problem more frustrating and stupid. Why anyone who knows hit want type to click? It's such a frustrating feature. In addition, why would anyone software development does not give the user the ability to disable? Synaptics touchpad old drivers for XP are 100 times better. I don't understand the lack of functionality in the new.

    I checked on Toshiba.com for touchpad drivers for my satellite A205-S5831 and noticed that there is a driver Alps. I have downloaded this driver, uninstalled the driver Synaptics (uninstalled option programs and Featuers in the control panel) and installed the driver Alps. The Alps driver includes many options over the Synaptics driver does not work, including turning off the tap to click.

    I hope that this solution works for others.

    Info thank you for sharing this with us.

    I've also noticed that Toshiba touchpad requires two different drivers. There is Synaptics driver and the other is driver Alps.

    You need two drivers to get the full touchpad control.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A205 - Vista backup center and restoration with a WiFi hard drive

    I use Vista Ultimate Center of backup and restore to back up hard drive of my laptop Satellite A205 series on a wireless external hard drive. The external hard drive (which is formatted in NTFS) is directly attached (via USB) to my wireless router Belkin low, instead of being connected directly on my laptop.

    I know that this WiFi network hard drive is recognized by my laptop series Satellite A205, because it appears as "Drive Z:" when I click on 'My Computer'... but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my laptop Satellite A205 only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with built-in WiFi) network.

    By contrast, the version of the backup center and restaurant located on my computer to my lists one office (also Vista), drives on the computer at first - but it includes a "more:"hyperlink by which someone with rights Admin can click and access the network drives. "

    This "more:"hyperlink does not appear on the version of the backup center and restore on my laptop Toshiba Satellite 205. "

    I can't even someone at Microsoft to talk to me without first
    $ 69.95 for the 'privilege '.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi irsharp23,

    > but the version of "Backup and Restore Center" which appeared on my Satellite A205 laptop only allows backup of DVD or directly - connected hard drive not the readers of (strange for a laptop with WiFi built-in) network.
    Laughing out loud
    I think that's not a junk Toshiba. Center backup and restore is designed by Microsoft and Toshiba has nothing to do with it. So I think you need to get in touch with the guys at Microsoft to ask for a solution, or there may be an update for this tool.
    Did you check that?

    Moreover, why n t connect the external DRIVE directly to your laptop drive? I don't see a reason to connect such a disc HARD backup over the network, because this image of backup can be used only on your laptop.

    Alternative, I can recommend Acronis True Image to record images of backup on the network or if you use Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize your files between laptops and network. ;)

  • Satellite A205-s4707: High Temperature of the touchpad and HARD drive

    Hello

    just bought a toshiba satellite A205-s4707 notebook PC series and my problem is that my touch pad becomes heat when I use to a few ours.
    Is - this normal, also my drive hard temperature reaches 135 degrees fahrenheit.

    If you can help me with my problem will appreciate

    HM, I Don t think it's a problem because your machine is not working properly, doesn´t it?

    I mean, you really have a system very powerful which is packaged in a minimum of size.

    Please compare your machine with a desktop computer and you will recognize that you have some cooling devices well less than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, Don t worry, it's normal that a laptop gets a little warmer.

    If something begins to melt, then it s critical. :) But sometimes won´t. ;)

  • WLAN is disconnected and I have to restart the Satellite A205

    I've had this * Toshiba Satellite A205 Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 32 Bit Vista Home Premium computer laptop * for almost 3 years and at least once and sometimes twice a day, I have to restart find my internet connection.

    It stops just for no apparent reason. I no longer receive e-mails via Outlook and get an error page in my browser window. It is extremely frustrating because I work from home. I have Wildblue satellite internet and have had since I bought this laptop.

    I also have a desktop XP computer that accesses to the * Wildblue satellite internet * with no issues at all. This leads me to think that there is a problem with Vista and internet Satellite work together.

    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve this once and for all? I really do not have to restart my computer on a daily basis or will not be disturbed while he was working on something.

    Thank you so much in advance.

    Hello

    If I understand correctly you message the laptop worked for troubled 3years free and Wlan issue has developed now is it right?
    Have you thought about software? I mean the fact that the operating system has not been reinstalled long and that a confused OS could cause these issues?

    But before you to reinstall all the system I would recommend checking if an update of the WLan driver would help. In addition, you should check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
    While this updates will not help, reinstall (update player WLan after relocation) operating system and check if the problem still persists.

    Good luck

    Hello

    Windows XP needs a SATA driver if you want to install on the laptop with SATA HDD controller.
    Driver SATA can be found in the Intel Storage Manager.

    I advise to use nLite program to include a SATA driver in the new Windows XP CD, then boot from the XP CD created new.
    You will find details of the nLite:

  • Satellite A100 - by pressing the Enter key and BACKSPACE insert a backslash

    The keyboard on my Satellite A100 has a perculiar behavior.
    The Enter key and BACKSPACE times return the insertion point to the beginning of the next line, and then insert a backslash.

    The behavior is similar in various products such as MS Word, internet Explorer, Notepad, WordPad, to name a few.
    The BACKSPACE key returns to the top of the page in MS Word and Notepad.

    This behavior is very frustrating and makes every day very difficult calculation.

    Does anyone have a solution to this problem

    Hello

    First I thought that this could be a result keyboard or Ms Word, Notepad setting language setting
    But while reading the story one more time, I think that this problem could be linked to the failure of hardware.
    But this is just a suggestion.

    I put t know if this problem would appear on new recovered BONES.
    Have you tried to restore the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    Maybe you should do to see if it's really a hardware problem
