Satellite A210 - 11 p and Radeon 2600HD replacement

Hello world

I "did a search on this topic but don't find any results, so why shaped not only ask you my question friendly people.

I just bought the laptop Satellite A210 - 11 p and I'm very happy with it, but one thing I'm unsure of is the graphics card.

I have the Radeon 2600HD and his performance is very good, but I heard somewhere that it is a dedicated and non-integrated gpu.
Would it mean that in the future I could replace the 2600 with something better or I'm stuck with it forever?

Thanks in advance.

.

Please don t mix the laptop and desktop PC technology.
Laptops cannot be upgraded as desktop computers.

All you can do is upgrade the memory and the HARD drive.
The replacement of the graphics card is not possible.

The GPU is soldered and fixed on the map and you can not delete it!

  • Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) and the full support of Windows XP Home edition

    When Toshiba engineers starts to move and get value added package for Windows XP for models PSAELE? It is very difficult?

    Found all the drivers, but the keys (Fn + F1-12) do not work! You go there for support customers or and sit, while Microsoft pays money for its Vista crap?

    1 year I'm waiting for the package of drivers and utilities full XP for my A210 - 16G?, but he did not communicate!

    I ask the support of customers instead of Vista support!

    Oh, moderators work faster then toshiba laptop support =)))

    Seems that Windows XP drivers are not out on the Satellite A210 - 16G (PSAELE) series.
    Why? Who knows, but always is he that the XP tools that control the functionality of the FN are not available especially for the A210 PSAELE

    Then you can try to install the tools available for other series with your own hands and hopefully they will work. Sorry, but that's all you can do

  • Satellite A210 PCI memory and SM Bus drivers

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A210-12U running Windows Vista 32-bit, and in the last days it has failed to find the drivers for PCI memory controller and the driver of the Bus SM initially upwards. He then asks pilots as it interprets that there new material.

    I also discovered that I can no longer use the CD-ROM drive or the SD card reader, so I guess that the two problems are related?

    Can someone point me in the direction of the pilots asked?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think and I'm quite sure that the PCI memory controller and SM Bus driver is bound to the controller CD card SD card reader needs the driver.

  • Satellite A210-1AP - battery and power supply problem

    A few weeks ago I received my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.

    Since then, I got problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.
    When the cable is in the laptop running on battery power I do not know why. Then when I turn it off battery led is lit Orange and the battery is charging.
    When the PC is turned on, the indicator light does not work and the battery becomes lower.

    So I wonder what the problem is.
    I read somewhere that this problem could solve the BIOS update.
    So anyone have experience like this.
    Also how is installed BIOS, I saw there is an installer for windows (so I guess it isn't hard).

    And somehow can back up old BIOS so I can go back if something bad happens.

    > A few weeks I got my laptop (Satellite A210) reapair and the motherboard was changed.
    > Since then, I had problem with the battery when it is inside and power cable is pluged.

    In my opinion, the technician has done something wrong
    The point is that this problem occurs after the exchange of motherboard and I think what this is about.

    Contact the ASP who repaired the laptop and explain your problem.
    I doubt that a BIOS update would solve this problem. I think it s a question an electrician

  • WinXP on Satellite A210-131 - modem and installation of SM bus controller

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 adapter - 131, which came with Windows Vista. I uninstalled and installed Win XP and SP2 and I have several problems in my device manager:

    I've got "Modem device on high definition audio bus" and "sm bus controller" with an exclamation mark. I have respected the order of installation instructions, I tried the modem drivers, even for different countries (the laptop was purchased in Germany, now I am in Romania). I started to install the modem driver, I have a progress bar that ends after a certain time, but after that nothing happens. I restarted and I get the same message! I've looked everywhere, I don't know what to do, please give some advice! And what of the sm bus controller? I also tried to uninstall some devices that appear after the modem in the list of instructions, and then try again with the modem but no result.
    Help, please!
    Thanks ;)

    Hi Paul

    Sorry, but it is not easy to give advice when the drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite A210 aren't available yet.

    If the modem is not that important to leave you it until the drivers will be available. Who cares about modem? Can you live without it?

  • Satellite A210: Synaptics TouchPad and the fn in Win 7 do not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 11 t (PSAEGE). Tired of Windows Vista, I changed to Windows 7.

    Everything works well except the Synaptics TouchPad and the key FN. Does anyone have ideas on this?

    Hello

  • Satellite A210 - 10 c and Win7 - SD card no longer works

    Hello, I have a question. Maybe someone has a solution to the following problem:

    I have the model Toshiba A210 - 10 c. I replaced the RAM to 4 GB and now run a vanilla install of Windows7 ultimate 64-bit. System works now very fast and reliable. The only problem is that the SD card is not detected. Does anyone know where to find the driver for Windows 7 64 bit for it. I probably only go back to 32-bit SW more just to get a pilot. A driver for a newer model would work?

    Thanks for your comments - Rainer

    Hello

    Is the card reader for SD card, already recognized in the device properly Manager?

    I can understand you without downgrading to Vista 32 bit is no option for you because you need an OS 64-bit for the use of all 4 GB of RAM.

    But not don t worry, you should try the 64 bit Vista driver as Timox wrote. Usually the Vista drivers also work on Windows 7. If not, you can try Windows 7 64 bit to another laptop as Satellite A300 model. It should also work on your model. :)

  • Satellite A210-19 b and a200-204 is the expandable video card?

    Well, unfortunately this is not possible.

    The graphics chip is soldered on the map and you will not be able to delete

    I recommend you research a little in this forum for similar issues.

  • Re: Satellite A210 - cannot start and how can I backup my data?

    Hi, after installing some software of spyware on my vista A210 (spysweeper) I rebooted my laptop, restart it went straight to the Boot Manager and load insert me my recovery disc and follow the instructions in an effective way. The only options I have with this disc to format my hard drive, it seems to indicate that it will erase everything (that would include things on my partitioned drive?).

    No there is no way to start the PC in safe mode? I tried using the F8 key, but couldn't get the SafeMode menu by using the recovery disk to start my machine. So when I chose to start windows in safe mode it loaded the disc in place.

    This sounds like a familiar problem, if so someone knows how can I restore the last parameters of weeks without access to windows?

    I'll have to swallow and format my drive, on the partition that I have a few photos, etc. that I've not saved yet a trip last week so I want to only do this as a last resort?

    Would I be able to go buy a copy of vista and fix it using the CD? My laptop came with windows vista installed but no windows disk.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    Thank you.

    If you are not able to go into the F8 advanced boot menu, you cannot start in safe mode. It's done.
    I think the only way is to reinstall Vista.

    The reason why the laptop came without installation disk is the disk HARD on the second partition a folder called "HDDRecovery". This folder contains the factory settings and you can restore it if you go to the menu of advanced, boot repair my computer and then you can select the Toshiba Recovery feature.
    In addition, you always get a reminder message that you must burn this image to a DVD:
    + Important INFORMATION +.

    + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
    + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
    + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
    + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

    + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
    + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.
    + Gets severely damaged.

    However, now it is too late to burn the recovery disc.
    In your case, I would order a Toshiba Recovery disk directly. Then, you can reinstall the laptop and the Toshiba drive already contains all the drivers and tools.
    Here you can order: [https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx]

    If you use the recovery disk Toshiba that the whole HARD disk will be formatted. You should back up your data before doing this.
    To do this, you can buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive from the laptop, put it in the case and plug it into another PC or laptop. Then, you are able to save your data.

    I hope I could help you.

  • Satellite A210, XP downgrade and the failure of the Ethernet

    I have a laptop Toshiba A210 8 months old and recently downgraded from Vista to XP. Then, I found that although I could connect to my wireless LAN I continually a "cable disconnected" error message when I tried an Ethernet connection. This topic has worked well for Vista.

    I have a Realtek 8139 network card. I've updated the Toshiba BIOS and all drivers card NETWORK (Toshiba and Microsoft). I can connect to the local network at the shop I bought this computer to, but not at home, or the shop where I buy my desktops, and service had installed XP downgrade. I tried all the connections on my home LAN, which otherwise works fine for my desktop PC, my PS3 and my XBox 360. I have a Netgear router.

    Suggestions as to what the problem might be, or even better a solution?

    Doug

    > I can connect on the local network to the shop I bought this computer to, but not at home

    You mean that your laptop can be successfully connected to LAN in the shop, but not at home
    Well, to me this looks like a problem of compatibility in connection with your router.

    To be honest, I also installed Win XP on my A210 but the LAN works without problems WLan and LAN-> no problem.

    Maybe you need to update the firmware on routers and but in addition, I recommend that you check for updates to Windows XP and update the LAN driver too

  • Satellite A210-184: How can I restore the OS?

    Hmm... strange...

    anyway... I bougth this computer a few years ago, and now I want to format it, but since the CD drive broke down near after buying the computer ive not been able to do a restore using my CD

    So I borrowed an external Cd-rom drive... and yet it does not start from him...
    I tried all the possible solutions can be found on the internet, and yet it is not possible...

    When I try to restore from a previous backup, I can't restore factory default, even when I choose the partition hidden... as there is no files on it... apparently its empty...

    I tried the press C, 0, repair F8 and everything... won't let me...
    When I reach the menu and press the last option "restore windows to defautl" it just says: "If the files are damaged or corrupt, please use Witch of the cd provided with your computer..." This option is to press OK (not then like some said guides)... and brings back me to the original menu...

    I tried the "full pc recovery", but I get the message "theres no directory valid blah blah blah, insert the CD rigth and or a HARD drive or select the backup location ', but it won't let me select any other directory...

    So overall...

    Cannot restore from the hidden partition and cannot restore from cd when even he supposed to work...
    Cannot install xp on it, Vista is blocked... and cannot restore factory default...

    So overall... I received a computer witch is more or less just useless in vu and im really consider throw it...

    I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...

    Hi dude

    > I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...
    I put t agree with you.

    First of all I m owner of the satellite A210 as well and my laptop work properly since the first day.

    My A210 was not equipped with HARD drive recovery option, but there was a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that helps create the recovery disk.

    If you want to retrieve the laptop, you need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

    If you are not able to boot from the disc then your ODD (CD/DVD) drive may be defective.
    This means that you need to replace the ODD.

    But note; not all dimensions are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings
    And this isn't just a case for Toshiba laptop, but for all mobile phones from different manufacturers!
    Ratings slimline don t support no rider, but are controlled by the firmware software and, therefore, you should choose one compatible

    You can also read a user manual are enough details and information about the recovery process so well in most cases, reading allows you to get more information

    Please help me.

    I need the display driver for Satellite A210 - 16F WXP (ATI Radeon HD2600).

  • Re: Satellite A210-19 WinXP SP3 Card Reader/Buletooth question f

    Hello.
    I have laptop Satellite A210-19 f and I can't read any card in my player card on WinXp SP3.
    Utils installed SD and card reader controller.
    It does not work. Also my bluetooth does not work too. After installing bluetooth monitor noething happened.

    Any suggestions?

    _Regarding SD card problem: _
    Go to Device Manager, remove the SD card reader, restart the laptop and reinstall the driver from SD card.
    The problem could be that XP drivers are not released for the A200 PSAELE series.

    In this case, you will need to use the Flash Media Driver of Texas Instruments, which was released for other series.

    _Regarding the problem of Bluetooth: _
    BT monitor is not the driver!
    You need the battery Bluetooth!
