• Satellite A210-17I extinguished but battery led amber goes when reconnected AC

  I've seen a few discussions on the batteries is discharged quickly.
  To be honest, when my Satellite A210-17I is on batteries, they last for 1 hour + / 15 min and recharge relatively fast.

  The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.

  It happened when I had only Vista as well as now with only XP in the boot menu (Vista still not deleted).
  I have no alarm clock apps in the start menu and could not understand what Windows or Toshiba apps should force the laptop to wake up while it is turned off.

  Someone at - he a clue, any similar experiences, comments?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Sorry, but I could t find problems with your laptop.
  Is that battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  I have an A210 with an AMD processor and my battery out lasts for about 1 hour 20 minutes using only internet Explorer.
  The point is that all parts high performance like CPU and GPU ATI needs and wastes a lot of energy when running it only with the battery.

  > The strange thing is when I worked on AC and stop and unplug all night, I always find the battery when connecting to Acre the next orange light.
  It is perhaps strange to you, but this is normal behavior for laptop.
  A wake on LAN (WOL) function could be the reason for the flow of this power.

  Check this doc from Toshiba:
  [Battery draining 15-20% when it is turned off during the night | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm]

  On the other hand, the battery still loses 2-4% of the power. Also if the WOL function would be disabled.
  There is also an interesting Toshiba doc who could confirm.

• Equium A210-17I do not start - how to access password protected HDD?

  My Equium A210-17I (model: PSAFJE) died recently and I'm trying to recover the contents of the hard drive.

  I hope that I can just put the drive into another laptop and start (either by using the player itself or a Live CD). Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

  Anyone have any ideas? The Equium stores a version coded the password or something?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  What I've tried so far:

  1 put the drive in Toshiba Satellite C655. Request password and after 3 wrong attempts to stop.

  2. put the disc into the Compaq 610. Request of password and after 2 attempts to let me Live CD boot. However, once started, the drive is not visible at all (disabled by BIOS).

  3. with all the variations of portable password input - completed by zeros, dashes, spaces, etc.. Uppercase, backward, etc..

  In what concerns the attempts to revive the satellite (so I can remove the hard drive password):

  When it is plugged in, power and load front lights.
  When lit, the logo turns on, the fan turns and can also hear the hard drive.
  Then there's just in this State.
  No display, no beeps, no lights on the keyboard.

  Tried to start after removing the hard drive and CD-ROM drive. Also tried without the installed memory. All the same result.

  Thanks for your help.

  > Unfortunately, when I put the drive in another machine, it prompts me for a password HDD/SSD but say that the password is incorrect.

  It seems that the HARD drive has been guaranteed by a HARD drive password.
  Mate sorry but this password cannot be deleted if you n t know the password.

  Usually to remove the HARD drive password, you must put the HARD drive in the Toshiba laptop, have access the BIOS and there is an option called HARD drive password which allows you to remove the HARD drive KNOWN password.

• Satellite A210 - BIOS does not work after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a satellite A210-17 for a few years now, but I made the mistake to go to the Microsoft Web site
  to make a BIOS setting to day and once I installed upgrading BIOS, that the laptop did not return ever on, black screen.

  I brought a guy in the month city 3 or 4 he is, he said, it could replace a bios chip if necessary
  but did nothing or I would have heard of him now.

  Is it possible that I can get the bios chip and have him install for me?
  I don't have 200 euros to replace the whole motherboard.

  This laptop was brilliant before that.

  Thanks in advance

  Update the BIOS is a very serious procedure, and the use of fake and not compatible BIOS would damage the motherboard.

  To be honest, I don t think that the replacement of the EPROM would help you that of course, the BIOS is stored on EPROM module but in most cases this chip is soldered to the motherboard and the EPROM replacement will not be easy

  To my knowledge the EPROM module could be flashed once more using the crisis disk BIOS and the special procedure. Usually, these updates of the crisis of the BIOS can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba and that don t require the replacement of the EPROM module.

  I also read in this forum that some guy tried to Flash the EPROM module to clean hands in some cases, it worked, but in different cases such update does not work correctly

  However, I recommend you to use the advanced search option forum and check a few different discussions on crisis disk BIOS / update

  Otherwise I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and products BIOS Update of the crisis

• Satellite A210-248 does not recognize the 840 ECO mSATA SSD

  I want to build in my Satellite A210-248 on the port of msata ssd.

  When I build in the ssd bios dind't find the ssd, so I can't install windows in the ssd

  Hello

  Satellite A210 does not support port mSATA and therefore the mSATA SSD module cannot be used.
  Probably, you have found a mini-PCI on the motherboard slot. It certainly looks like mSATA but its not the same thing.

• Equium A210-17i does not supply power to the top only with the power adapter plugged

  Equium A210-17i turn on when the battery is missing, but the laptop is set to the power supply dc?

  I have a dead battery and the laptop does not light with or without the battery inserted.
  The food came out 19v as it is supposed to.

  Also no led lights on the laptop when the power is connected and there is no sign of life at all by pressing power buttun.

  Thanks for any response.

  Hello

  The laptop must also lights up if the battery is not inserted.
  If the adapter is ok and if it s connected to the laptop, then the power led should be lit and it should light up.
  This led indicates that AC adapter provides power to the laptop properly.

  But if the LED turns OFF then that would mean that there is no power, and in this case the laptop will not turn on.

  Hi guys,.

• Satellite A210-17I HARD drive replacement

  As the title suggests, I'm an Equium A210-17I... He suffered a fall while the car was still running.
  In any case, long story short, I reflected on a replacement of Hitatchi Travelstar and saw it as a good opportunity to update my space... IE: change my broken 160 GB drive to a replacement of 300 GB +.

  Now I'm sure with all the 2.5 "Travelstar with a SATA interface?

  Any help would be awesome on the subject... Here is an example of the type of replacement drive, I thought I'd do, but I kinda scared to buy the wrong one:

  This is just an example...

  Cheers for reading!
  Your comments are welcome, because this stuff is all pretty new to me!

  Hi dude

  Yes, you will need a SATA HDD!
  The 2.5 "SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive would be OK.
  To avoid a problem with a 300 GB HARD drive, because the SATA HDD controller should support more HARD drive as well.

• Satellite A210-1AO does not start

  Hello

  I could use a little help. My 4 year old A210 1AO worked perfectly until today (except to change the HARD disk a few months before). Tonight, I tried to turn it on, but almost nothing happens. The light 'on' is on, the battery the power and light also, but I get no image. The fan is running (and after a few seconds goes out, as usual), ODD jobs, and that's it. I tried to start it without the RAM modules, without the HARD drive and nothing has changed. I removed the battery and you press the 'power' for 30 seconds, still nothing. And the curious thing is that now powers the laptop too using the buttons 'media' and 'browser '.

  Does anyone have an idea what could have happened?
  I should also mention that I took good care of the laptop, used a big laptop cooler with a 20 cm fan and used mainly to watch movies and surf the internet (for games and other stuff that I use a PC)

  Any idea will be highly appreciated.

  Thank you in advanced,
  Adrian

  First of all its pity to hear that your laptop no longer works.
  I don t think that Flash memory USB flash BIOS might help you.

  First the laptop must turn on even if the BIOS is not being updated so I think it s not BIOS issue permanently.

  Secondly, you said that you tried to start the machine without memory modules
  You should try to start the machine with memory inserted in the slot and should repeat this with two modules in each location.

  But to be honest, I'm not very well if it would help you it looks like a serious hardware problem and possibly the motherboard is affected: (m

• Satellite A210-199 does not start successfully after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I've got Sat A210-199.
  Yesterday I updated the BIOS, and after that problems occurred:

  While restarting my computer does not start. When I enter the BIOS after a while, it shuts down.
  I guess all this because the temperature of the CPU:

  When I do nothing it is 77 C. I don't think it's normal: (.)
  Computer is very recent, so it's probably not dust inside. And it's so hot from the start, but after the new BIOS, something bad happens.

  Why this temp is so high?
  There is no any process background or something.
  Is this normal?
  And what about this new BIOS?

  To be honest, something like this should not happen. I really don't understand why this is happening. I have updated the BIOS on friends A200 and mine P200 and everything works fine. Here on this forum we can only speculate on this issue, but what you need exactly's professional opinion.

  This probably not help but install recovery image and check with the factory settings. Make sure you also on the lower side cooling fan is not blocked and the laptop can be cooled properly. If the problem persists, you should contact the nearest authorized maintainer and clarify this issue.

  Sorry, but I don't really know what you can do in this situation. I don't see any other way to solve this problem.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A210: ODD does not work - driver may be corrupted or missing - Code 39

  The STRANGE ('TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS - L632H ATA Device") does not work on my laptop more.

  In Device Manager, the Properties dialog box says "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

  laptop: A210
  OS: Vista 32 bit

  I think the material is OK, as I install dual-boot linux, the STRANGE works very well under linux.

  I found updates of firmware STRANGE on the Toshiba site, but these cannot be installed with the drivers dysfunctional.

  Is it possible to find the drivers somewhere? (I can use google, but I don't know if driver download sites are trustworthy).

  Any other ideas?

  Hello

  This has been discussed a lot of time here;
  The workaround is;
  -remove the ODD of Device Manager
  -access 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}

• Satellite A210-19Z: could not get internet to work with Windows XP installed

  Hello

  When I install Windows XP on my Satellite I can not get Internet to work

  Do I have to install drivers or so?
  Please post links to the drivers if so.

  Christian

  Of course you need readers.

  If you have connected your router with a LAN cable, then you will need to install the LAN driver. If you want to use the network WiFi WLan driver must be installed also.
  If your computer laptop doesn t supports the WLan card then the WLan driver is not required

  All the drivers (if available) XP can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page!

  For example, I would change the button music to open Windows Media Player to iTunes open.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Yes, West a little program that allows you to assign another applications for the Toshiba help buttons and the internet.

  You can do this by clicking on start-> programs-> Toshiba-> Utilities-> Toshiba Assist-> Optimize-> controls Button Toshiba

  There, you can assign a program for these two buttons.

  That's all. :)
