• Satellite A210 - 12U Slot memory failed

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A210-12U, currently had a BSOD, then finally PC would not boot at all, I managed to get it working again by removing one on the RAM bars, since I tried to install 2 sticks of RAM in various cobinations I thought that one of it was defective, it seems that both work very well , But when I put one of the in the top slot, the laptop does not start at all, not even the BIOs boot.

  I guess that means that the slot memory has failed, my question is, can it be replaced? As there is no big, if not is there the 4 GB memory sticks available as I still want to upgrad.

  Thanks in advance

  Looks like the slot is defective, or it could just be dirty. You can clean the slots using electrical cleaner from an electronics store. Do not use water or other liquids as you can the motherboard and cause damage.

  I guess you could get a Service centre to resolder the connector memory, but it can be cheaper or easier to just buy another motherboard.

  I doubt that laptop can take Modules to 4 GB RAM, 2 x 2 GB may be your only option.

  But remember that 32-bit operating systems are limited to 3 GB, and you would need 64-bit Vista to take advantage of all of 4 GB.

  PS. use Memtest (bootable CD or FD) at www.memtest.org to test RAM.

• Satellite A210-12U - DVD RW drive will recognize the DVD but no CD

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite of 4 years (model: A210-12U) that I recently restored using the recovery CD - it running Vista SP2.

  Please bear with me as this may be an ish story, but it helps to explain my problem.
  Around a year ago, a virus has made its way onto my laptop and almost destroyed the BONE - I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable software-wise after studying at the College and began the long process of trying to resolve my laptop without using the recovery CD.

  It was a patch job, but after a month or two, I had it works again and it was fine for a period of a few months or so, before, I noticed that my DVD RW drive would no longer read or burn CDs. I spent hours trawling internet forums to help without a bit of luck and was eventually convinced that it was a hardware problem.

  As I needed to use a CD burner, my cousin gave me his DVD - RW USB drive and it did not work, which means that the logic suggested that it wasn't a physical problem with the drive, rather that it was most likely a problem with the registry/OS. It was not surprising given that I had done a basic work patch following the infection by the virus a few months earlier.

  After becoming more and more frustrated with my laptop in general, I backed up my data on a portable hard drive and used the recovery CD that came with my laptop. The laptop started the CD when he was outside of the OS (according to the instructions that came with it) and restored all of the computer to its original state (and solve many of the problems that have been caused by the virus in the process).

  I have spent the last week re - install programs, the copy of backdata etc. and was trying to install a software on a CD today, when I noticed that the laptop had difficulties to access the disk. Explorer Windows knows that the drive is there; It is listed in 'My Computer' and will also be the small CD icon alongside the pointer when it tries to load the CD - suggesting that he knows that there is a CD in there.

  However, the drive will still read DVD that suggests, it could be a physical problem with the drive itself (I read somewhere on the laser need to change its angle accordingly during playback of CDs and DVDs). I have a question though, what the computer was able to read the recovery CD when I was being a complete restoration (and that she felt the same difficulties of CD playback in Windows before restoration).

  I tried all the suggested methods in similar posts on this forum - Microsoft Fix It, uninstall the drivers etc nothing helps... So yes, I am a little confused and wonder if anyone can help?

  The DVD RW drive is listed in Device Manager as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA Device.

  Thank you
  Ben

  Hi Ben

  In my opinion, this is material junk. You're right about the position of the objective. It needs to be calibrated for CDs and DVDs. If the optical disc drive cannot read one of these media in general, it can be problem of lens calibration.

  To be honest sides for this old A210 are cheap and more. I advise you to buy a new or used one on eBay. Exchange and test functionality.
  To be honest I don't believe there is a trick that can help you get it working again.

• Re: Satellite A210-12U: Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-8505 will not read discs - error Code 39

  Hello.

  I've had my A210-12U for about five months now, and recently for the past few months I had some problems with the dvd player.

  The thing is that the player will not play all discs, the drive will detect that a disc has been inserted, but it will not read. It happened for about a month but its only recently I really know whats been wrong with it.

  The drive I currently use is a CARPET * A DVD - RAM UJ-8505 ATA

  I scanned the disk for problems with the support toshiba but utility that came with something so I decided to check the drivers.

  Windows Vista gave this Message: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

  I uninstalled the drivers and drivers on there and installed new ones that I downloaded here on the toshiba site.

  What I really want to know is: is this a problem with the drivers? is it a case that the operating system does not detect the hardware? or is this a situation where I should have the disk fixed on its guarantee?

  was soon Dan

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy I put t think that it s a hardware problem. It looks like a corrupted registry entry and it should be solved easily

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  and restart the laptop

  I was wondering if someone here had an experince (good or bad) with these speakers on a similar notebook or could give me other recommendations for speakers.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I m not an owner of Logitech Z - 10 speakers, but I read a few tests and suggestions on various Web sites.

  The speakers are really good.

  The speaker system has got 5 of 5 points in machining quality and sound.
  4 of 5 points is assigned to reliability.

• Satellite A210 - 106 PSAELE: need WinXP Radeon HD 2400 driver that works

  Can Hi anyone tell me what kind of graphics card do I have?

  It says ATI Radeo HD2400, but these drivers does not when I download the WXP Catalyst of ATI drivers.
  So it must be several, a chipset, etc. I have PC Wizard, but tells me not much.

  I downloaded the drivers in this thread of Rapidshare user and they don't work as well. Any help appreciated.

  Note: I am not be difficult, but I need Windows XP for my work only. If I don't I accept Vista and crosses out of trouble...

  Check XP drivers, or at least guide us in the right direction.
  I spent more than eight hours trying to get this working and of the buy external wireless card NETWORK because was unable to get Atheros to work...
  And while we're at it, maybe you can tell me where to d/l drivers audio Realtek ALC268. Realtek.com.tw didn't. :(

  Andrew

  Hi mate,

  already tried these sites:

  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/

  There you should find the drivers, otherwise you must wait because XP support is a bit... When you know what I mean.

  With regard to the realtek driver: these attempt it since a Satellite A200. But I can't guarantee that they work. But first uninstall previous drivers and make sure that all drivers chipset/tools are installed.

  Welcome them

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't understand. You are talking about the Cd/Dvd drive missing or Dvd Toshiba player?

  Anyway, try this:

  1. access to the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Reboot the laptop and wait for the CD/DVD drive would appear once again

  or

  2 go to the page of the Toshiba driver and download dvd player

• 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?

• Satellite A210 - 11 p connected to the TV - the colors are too bright

  Just changed to the top of an A60. I used a TV S-signal with one SCART and it worked fine.

  Now on the new computer, the colors are too bright and washed out. I updated the driver but no luck.
  In fact, I find the screen on the A210 way too bright and had to calm colors to factory settings.

  Does anyone else find this?

  Any idea what the problem may be? I read the posts on the problems of black and white, but I have the color but too bright and washed out.
  Wait I got an idea of what the TV has two euroconnectors... on the second SCART, the image is black and white!

  How is it it worked well on the old A60. I'm really starting to miss that laptop. :(

  I have an A210 and I don t think that the screen is too bright.
  Fact is that some of the A210 notebooks are equipped with the real bright screen. This is a new display technology and it s great.
  I like it much better as common display without the true light.

  On my laptop satellite A210 colors are light and not washed out them. The display is perfect

  One question; have you noticed the same problem on the internal and external monitor or TV?

  > Waiting I have an idea of what the TV has two euroconnectors... on the second SCART, the image is black and white!
  Several months ago, I connected a laptop to my TV and the picture was black and white. The reason for this problem has been the assignment of pins badly on SCART cable then.
  On the other hand, it is possible that your s-video option was not enabled on the TV's.
