  Symptom:
  Keys is de-energized or gives wrong output. The problems occurs randomly, either right at startup or after availability. Looks like it's a hardware related issue and not a problem with the OS. The problem occurs in several OS´s and even in the BIOS-meny. None of the solutions posted in this forum / other items solves the problem.

  The battery is not a solution (as suggested in other posts), the problem reoccurs after availability and sometimes even right to restart the computer. (Et laisse le visage, un ordinateur portable sans une batterie est un _stationary_) =)

  No! It's not overheating and heat issue, this problem may occur at startup after a powerdown complete with battery and power removed. (and no, this isn't a problem of dust or a problem of broken / lack of cooling-fans/ventilation)

  I use the lates for my model BIOS, so make a habit/flash-update of the bios to solve the problem.
  Default factory restore is not a solution either, but _différemment_ ive tried, even if this problem most def is a hardware problem.

  All the other solutions suggested by other posters solves the problem (most of them software related bugs in any case).

  Comments:
  The problem started recently enough (ive had this laptop for about a year and a half) and judging by the other posts in this forum seams problem began on the same date/time to a suspect that he is a "calendar/clock" related question... but I'm not an expert and it's just a hunch (would explain why some users may experience a temporary "I solved the problem by changing keyboard-calendar" - euporia until) what they ecounter problem once again after a time of ).

  The problem arises _completely_ radom and under any given the cirumstance...

  Any suggestions?

  The links that you post are not related to the A210 but L670 laptop model and it was reading about L670 and the problem has been resolved by the BIOS updated

  OK, so it seems to be linked to the keyboard and the AEP from Toshiba technician should check what

• Satellite L750D - keyboard & touchpad has stopped working

  Hello guys

  My keyboard & touchpad stopped working today.
  Its a Satellite L750D Part # PSK36A-009008 7B339221W serial No.

  I tried a restore to an earlier date

  Can anyone help
  PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

  Sounds like a hardware problem.
  Try to configure the computer laptop back to factory settings. I guess you have to use an external USB keyboard in case the internal keyboard does not work.

  Here is an instruction how to perform a system restore?

• Satellite A210 - 1AO PSAELE - black screen problem

  Hello.

  I have a strange problem with LCD on my Satellite A210-1AO. Sometimes LCD does not work. The problem is only at startup, only not on closing LCD display or sleep mode. If I connect an external monitor - there is a picture, but with strange random points and lines. But if I remove the battery and the power adapter and leave the laptop for hours - after all can work very well (for days or weeks, even at startup). And then the problem reappears.

  Where could be the problem? Card video or LCD or something else?

  Have you noticed a higher temperature while this happens?
  I mean that the higher temperature could affect the GPU (graphics chip) that cause this lines and points
  It wouldn't be unusual.

  Updating the graphics driver, what would you say?
  You use the Toshiba page?
  Do it!

  I've got A210 with an ATI GPU, and everything is OK!

• Satellite A210 - heating and BIOS update problem

  My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

  Cannot load the C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT driver. SYS.

  > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
  Hi mate

  I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
  A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

  After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

  Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

  PS: My BIOS is updated...

• Satellite A210 - 4 1: Winload.exe problem after having used the product recovery disc

  Hello

  I could really do with some help here. I have a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4. Disk partitioned with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.

  Last night, I used the product recovery disc supllied with the laptop in an attempt to restore its initial configuration.

  and the end of the procedure, I find myself with a prompt cmd with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the high bit blue box indicating:

  Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 of ODD to C:\!

  Press a key to continue. Box disappears then an administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the top blue bit indicating:

  waiting for ODD vacancies...
  STRANGE drive f: loan.
  Look for support in the F: drive...
  Failed to initialize the raid class.
  No RAID - continue normally...

  X:\Windows\System32 >

  Now every time the laptop trying to restart it just comes up with the error message:

  CANNOT START WINDOWS. A RECENT HARDWARE CHANGE OR SOFTWARE MAY BE THE
  CAUSE

  Below I have then have the possibility of esc or continue with the same result of the system attempts to restart.

  The recovery disc has no option of repair on this subject.

  need help please, I have no idea.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Looks like something was wrong during the recovery procedure.
  Have you tried to recover the laptop once more?
  If this isn't the case, you should definitely try this!

  You are right; hasn t drive recovery option for the repair because the recovery disk is not the same as a MS Vista drive. The recovery disk contains image files (it s a package) and the files contains Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  So if something was happening well wrung out during the recovery procedure, you will not be able to repair the installation of the OS, but you need to run it again.

• Satellite A110: keyboard, touchpad, power problems

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A110, purchased a few months before. In recent weeks, it started randomly locking the keyboard and the touchpad (with or without external mouse plugged - although an external mouse still works).

  Now there is power to the top of the issues, with the suspended system Bios Toshiba screen, can fully initialize maybe once in five.
  Acquisition of wireless network is also very temperamental. I tried this software I can think (new drivers/virus scan/uninstall-reinstall), with the exception of a reinstall full backup disk Toshiba.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think we should first find out if the problem is software or hardware related.
  In this case the installation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD is recommended.
  After installation, the laptop should work without worries.

  But if the unit will hang and not start properly there could be something wrong with the hardware.
  I think that your warranty is valid and in this case you should always contact the ASP in your county for a check.

• Satellite A210-103 and battery problem

  I have an A210-103:
  HTTP://DE.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/INNOVATION/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/DISCONTINUEDPRODUCTPAGE.DO?SERVICE=DE&PRODUCT_ID=1 33099 & DISC_MODEL = 1
  and I bought a new battery 9 cells:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B000RSQX6U/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
  but the battery works only 150 minutes. Where can I find some info for the best performance. the old battery was 6 cells.

  only 150 minutes?
  How long it should run on battery?

  In General for this model of laptop 2 hours of uptime a pile of food is quite good.
  Time to market better? Reduce the power consumption of equipment using power saving options.
  Have you tested it already?

• Satellite L20 keyboard & touchpad work not but keyboard works in the BIOS

  On my laptop Satellite L20 not work keyboard and the touchpad and keyboard works in the BIOS, USB ports also does not (USB mouse).

  Can I get the BIOS update file (traditional update on the boot CD, no BONE!)

  Sorry for my bad English.

  If the update of the traditional BIOS is not available on the download page the only way to get it is to contact the nearest authorized service provider. They have all versions.

  But this problem of keyboard and mouse is really strange. can you use if you start the operating system in safe mode?

• Satellite M70-165 PSM70E - battery charging problem

  Hello
  My laptop is a Satellite M70-165 PSM70E. I use Windows XP Home Edition. I recently bought a new battery and it is impossible to charge more than 50%. I have updated the BIOS to 1.70 (for non Windows Vista users) and I still have the problems mentioned above. I tried to dischage completely and charge it again, several times, with no luck.

  Is there a solution?

  Another question. There is no 'EC' in the BIOS version, only "BIOS version 1.70". I hope there will be some calibration of the battery or the power management after the BIOS update, but there is no menu "Power Management" in the BIOS.

  Is this correct?

  Thanks in advance.

  > recently bought a new battery and it is impossible to charge more than 50%

  In my opinion the new battery is not OK.
  You must consult an another new battery maybe you bought a battery already used?

  > Another question. There is no 'EC' in the BIOS version, only "BIOS version 1.70".
  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find a BIOS update.
  I guess that this update contains the EC update too.

  Hi uygur,.

  at first I thought your problem your laptop want boot from LAN.

  Check the BIOS, could be formulated with pushing the ESC key when the Red TOSHIBA logo appears, enter on boot order (First Boot Device).

  I think that your PC is the first device to set startup to local network.

  Try this and keep me posted!

• Satellite A110 keyboard and battery - if it was in / work with A100?

  Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I have a toshiba satellite a100 laptop, the keyboard is damaged and the battery no longer works. I just found access to a toshiba satellite a110, which is not as high in the specs, so I wonder...

  -Keyboard toshiba satellite a110 works and adapt if it is placed in the a100?

  -Toshiba satellite a110 battery works and adapt if it is placed in the a100?

  If someone could tell me that I would be very happy.

  Thanks again for your time

  Hello

  I think the keyboard could be compatible, but I doubt the battery designed for Sat A110 would be compatible with the model A100.

  As far as I know the Satellite A100 supports the 9 cell, 6000mAh
  PA3478U-1BRS or 12 PA3400U-1BRS battery and the A110 supports PA3457U-1BRS Battery Pack Li-ion (4300mAh, 8 cells)
