• Small Windows XP need help for Satellite A215-S5849

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849, which came with Windows Vista home premium.
  Some time previously, I installed Windows XP SP3 and I also installed some drivers I found here:

  [Page where I downloaded the drivers, click on: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably comparable, coz on my Vista CD provided with the drivers, he also says its for A210/A215)

  Main problem is... is there a simple way to get all the drivers XP for A215... [It is another page, where I have tried exactly my laptop and WIN XP drivers, its many for vista. Select this option to filter for XP... not many riders to tell me id, click on | http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?MOID=1998646&RPN=PSAFGU&CT=D L&BV_SessionID=@@@1886836112.1220191695@@@&BV_En gineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0]

  I have this small problem I'd like to solve:

  1) Fn + F5 does not work... I have 2 monitors and I can't use the Fn + F5 keyboard shortcut... I have downloaded the driver... and other Fn keys work... but not F5... I searched the forum and the web and found something that I should have a "devices utility display change of ' installed, but this is only available for notebooks (Ive looked, but I found only old driver for this). How can I make Fn + F5 works under Win XP on A215?

  (2) also in my device manager I have three "Base system device" undentified "other instruments". Is this ok... or do I have some drivers or something?

  (3) and I have a question about this utility: [link here, click on: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=1903653&moid=1998646&rpn= PSAFGU&BV_SessionID=@@@0768822790.1220188011@@@& BV_EngineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0 & ct = D L & all_docs = false]
  This would install all the drivers available for the laptop? If not, what will do, perhaps to update?

  (4) and also... multimedia keys... is possible to select play/pause, stop, next, prev buttons to program other than windows media player. ID like to run these keys on winamp, Ive downloaded a plugin for winamp, and it worked on Vista, but not on XP... in the control of Toshiba utility I can only sellect programs start with the CD/DVD and Internet buttons. Ive read sound is not possible, but it worked when I installed the plugin on Vista.

  Please read this and help.
  -----------------------

  Just in case I added the drivers I installed below. Do not really need to read what I think, but I add...

  The discs that I have installed:

  Hotkey Utility, Toshiba
  Common module, Toshiba
  Controls, Toshiba
  Display driver, ATI
  Toshiba Power Saver
  His driver, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation
  Utilities SD
  Wireless Lan Client Manager, Atheros
  Touch Pad Driver, Synaptics
  CPU driver, AMD
  Atheros wlan driver
  Software of the camera, Chicony

  Available pilots were fairly simple, coz there are an only one available for LAN, audio, Hotkeys etc. I so did not have much choice. I also checked for the material they were made and manufacturer who they are (I found the good... for example, the realtek drivers for my device realtek audio...)

  > I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably similar coz my CD with the drivers on Vista it says also it s for A210/A215)

  The A215 is a series of portable US and typically you use the Toshiba driver page us in order to get all of the compatible XP drivers.
  There is no guarantee that drivers Toshiba XP from the European page driver Toshiba work fine on the laptop Toshiba us.

  With regard to the point;

  (1) you are right. Change the display control device utility the FN + F5 key combination and the Hotkey Utility are also the FN + F5 combination work.
  This tool is available for some A210 series such as the PSAFGE series. But it does not work on all A210/A215 series.

  (2) this could be a card reader. Check if it s already installed. But note; After installing XP you will always have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager because some hardware rely only on Windows Vista. There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  (3) in my opinion the Toshiba Software updates for Windows Vista/XP reminds on a few new updates of software available that have been published on the U.S. from Toshiba page.

  (4) I have the same problem and I think there is no way to change this in XP.
  Toshiba utility for XP controls is simply different that the version for Vista and in my eyes there is nothing to do.

• Satellite A215-S5849 - cuts off while installing XP

  Hello
  I am a system integrator and have a client who wishes to remove Vista and restore its Satellite A215 to XP recently.

  Unfortunately, the machine will not end the XP installation. I can load the cd and see the HARD drive and partitions so I know it is not a driver of SATA type or f6 related disk i/o. He gets throughout the textual part of the installation, but immeadiately plant outside after the first restart during the loading of the GUI installation part. Since that's when device drivers are loaded and the registry hive is built, I think that perhaps driver display.

  What of weird is theres no BSOD or error code reported. The laptop cuts just immeadiately power on setup windows gui loading. No problem from the cd, but not any version of xp Vista re-loads. I have tried Home - Pro - and MEdia center 2005 versions of xp, both OEM and retail box, no version of xp will complete the installation. The model No. side to the bottom is PSAFGU-07101J.

  Anyone has any ideas.

  Hello

  I think the reason is clear: you use a bad SATA driver I think, because you need one suitable for the installation of Windows XP.

  I checked the Toshiba page we where is your laptop. I think it might be a little difficult to get all the drivers because it s official XP unsupported. So in your case I check the Intel page and download the Intel for Windows XP Storage Manager.

  If you have other questions, use the search in the forum here. You will find hundreds of threads here!

• Satellite A215 - turn trouble

  I have a Satellite A215. I have a hard time to start after hitting the power button. Must be done several times. Someone once told me to take out the battery, wait about 15 seconds, put it in and try it. It works sometimes, but it need a solution to this problem without taking out the battery whenever I want to turn on the laptop.

  Hi Johnny28,

  Strange, but maybe the power button is faulty and needs replacement or a another part, but in fact, my opinion is it s a bad material work because it s not related software problem

  In my opinion, it would be best if you contact an authorized service provider because guys can check your laptop if s button power itself or something else. ;)

• Re: Satellite A215-S7444 just stops after an hour of use

  I have a satellite A215-S7444.
  My problem is that if I'm on the computer after about an hour or two the computer just stops.
  I already tried to change the power settings management that worked for awhile, but my laptop still turns off after a while.

  Hi Patrick

  I'm quite sure that your laptop stops automatically due to the temperature inside the laptop.
  It of a simply overheating issue that could be caused by clogged cooling grids.

  From time to time it s a good idea to clean the fans. Especially dust prevents the cooling modules works correctly, and therefore the temperature rises.

  I made good experiences with the jet of compressed air. These sprays can be purchased from dealers of computer/laptop.
  In addition you could try to google for some online also offers.

  Good bye

• Can't turn on my Satellite A215

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215, was used for 1 year and a half. One day, suddenly, he just made a short "pop" sound and crashed. Cannot activate it since then.

  More than that, small fires showing me the connection ca, use of the HDD, etc. battery status are also dead. Normally, the battery one had all the time, even if the laptop is offline. In addition, I noticed that when I plug in the charger, it starts to beep. The charger is very well, it has been tested on other laptops, and I also tried to use another charger for my laptop, without result.
  My warranty is gone, so I can't count on that. I brought the laptop Toshiba official service, they told me that they have to replace the motherboard (it would cost more than a new laptop). They do not work with motherboards, they just replace them.

  My question would be if there is any chance to repair the motherboard (assuming that the power circuit chip is a party, or something like that).
  Someone knows something about it?

  Thank you for your time

  Hello

  Not as good as s, what happened with your laptop, but you could try to remove the battery and the AC adapter, wait an hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try it.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced, and I doubt that the motherboard can be repaired. It's very complicated.

• I messed up on Satellite A215 BIOS

  Laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747

  wanted to put update the BIOS to the black screen problem intermittent, had the opportunity to update the BIOS of Yes hell which seems easy for me way to update Windows, machine stops (as it was supposed to) and when I tried to power it on again I get Toshiba logo with "Press F2 for Setup or F12 for boot devices" - that's all , no key on the keyboard does not cause a response from what I can find I might have to replace the card mother darn or buy a new computer.

• Toshiba satellite A215 S6816

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 S6816 and the DVD rom does not detect the inserted disc. I've already tried Microsoft automated troubleshooting services, but it still does not work. He says that this device is missing and not detected. I wonder ' coz every time I insert the disc I could hear turn but Windows cannot detect the drive. Do I need to install a new DVD driver for my laptop?

  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

• Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

  I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

  After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

  I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
  pls someone helo me :(

  Hello

  Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

  You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

  Please try again. It should work somehow.

• Satellite A215-s4697 - HARD drive round and round

  I have a Satellite A215-s4697. AMD Turion 54 x 2 Dual Core technology tl-52 with 1 GB of ram.
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  The hard drive on this thing just turns and turns and that the computer is slow.
  Im making here mail web (IE is the only thing that I opened) and it runs without interruption.
  Sometimes the computer crashes then releases sometimes it says: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and I restart.

  When I plug it to the tv to watch a show off hulu.com, for example, the player can run for 10 minutes before Detroit back work.
  However, then it works. That's so slow that it's frustrating.

  Any ideas.

  I tried the improve performance including removal of old programs, clean disc of deleted files and installers, ect.

  Thank you.

  Hi Seahunt,

  First of all, you must back up all data on the HARD drive. If the disk HARD still turns upward it sounds like this it becomes defective and must be replaced don t store on important data

  You can get a new HDD to a service provider authorized or an another computer store. As much as I now you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

• Touchpad Satellite A215 - S4747 not continue once the finger reaches the end of the buffer

  I have a Satellite A215-S4747 and have downgraded to XP. Everything is great, but I noticed that my touchpad does not continue when my finger reaches the edge as before.

  I see a Synaptics Touchpad driver in the Device Manager version 10.0.3.2 and dated 27/06/2007. Ideas?

  Hello

  Please, check the touchpad settings and make sure that the configuration is the same as before. I hope that you wrote on the tap zones (each edge is configured as a button). Please do not forget that the tap zones are not enabled.

  In this case, you can use the whole touchpad.

• Satellite A215-S7444 - freezes after Hibernation mode

  I have a Satellite A215-S7444 which is 2 years. It came with a 32-bit version of Vista. I just do a custom install of Windows7 64 bit. It seems that after coming out of standby the laptop hangs and I have to do a hard reboot.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.

  Hello

  Do you have also installed all the drivers for your laptop from the Web from Toshiba site? Make sure that there is no yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

  In addition, I would try to update the BIOS. You should find it here:

  Before the BIOS update, close all running programs and make sure that you are logged on as administrator.

  Hi, I have a Satellite A215, bought a month ago.
  Yesterday, I received a message and stupidly, I activate a series of programs but I don't know what was the purpose... the fact is that many programs do not run and I receive a report he said thar was a program compatibility in ConfigFre switch Manager.
  He also says:

  The first thing you can try to remove and reinstall ConfigFree.
  To be honest ConfigFree is one of the best designed Toshiba Utilities and it works very stabile. I really don't understand what you've done. Remove it from the system and install again.

• Satellite A215-S4817 - update the BIOS

  Hi, I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

  In addition, this Web of Toshiba site does not recognize my serial number, and it cannot complete the application auto-defaut either. Maybe I have a more serious problem? The real problem is that my laptop will crash occasionally (screen goes completely black), but a hard restart to fix it. I was told I need to update BIOS, but maybe I need something different.

  Thanks for your help!

  > I'm trying to find the update of the BIOS for a Satellite A215-S4817. I tried several BIOS updates for numbers of similar but not exact model without success.

• Satellite A215-S7422 - missing NDTRL

  I have this model of laptop Satellite A215 S7422 and I used it had just typed a note about this, he threw down to get a printer to connect to it.
  When I came back, it was in screensaver mode and would come out of him.

  He stops and tried several things he lights and start, but then I just get a black screen with the cursor in the corner just flashing.
  My son took and delete the whole hard drive. So now it says NDTRL missing or what ever is this operating system.

  The recovery disk will not help it does nothing for my computer.

  Find an operating for this drive fix my computer? Thank you

  Hello

  I think that you need to reinstall new OS.
  Seems impossible to boot the operating system.

  In my opinion, you need to reinstall the operating system.
  I put t know why you say that recover the drive can not help you
  Usually, you should be able to restore the operating system using the recovery disk.
  Put it in the ODD and the start-up of this disc to start the recovery process.

  Alternatively, you can use an original disc of MS Windows.
  The drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.
