Satellite A215-S5849 - cuts off while installing XP

• 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.

• electricity cut off while I spend to lollipop

  Hello!!

  I have D6503 Z2 and did not start or activate normally after electricity cut off while I spend at lollipop... What can I do?

  P.S my warranty is almost out because I bought in Dubai and now live in Egypt and I turn to local care of Xperia in my city, but they ask you to pay $40

  You may need to perform a repair of software using PC Companion. The process will erase all internal memory. You might need to charge your device for about 1 to 2 hours until the device has so at least 60% battery.

  Make sure that the device is not connected to the computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press the power button / stop and volume until what the machine vibrates 3 times or on some devices, it must push the small button near the tray on the back of the camera or SIM).

  Open PC companion-> support area-> update phone software / Tablet-> repair my phone/Tablet blue highlighted. Follow the steps, do not plug your phone until you are prompted to press volume down while plugging in the USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you may need to run Windows 7 compatibility mode (in some cases XP).

• Satellite Pro A60 cuts off after 3 minutes

  Hello

  work in IT Support generates many puzzles, but I currently have a Satellite Pro A60 which cuts off after 3 minutes.
  I have deleted the main CPU fan and have noticed that the VGA Chip Set fan fails.

  It is not at all which makes me think that it is completely broken or there is a problem with the motherboard.
  Who is more likely and if not card mother, can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan and if so what is the part number and ball park cost?

  Matthew

  Hello

  As you already suggested this strange faucet portable bottom may be related to high temperature and to overheating.
  You are right; the malfunction of the fan could be a reason to close automatically and sometimes down.

  > can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan

  Usually, the cooling modules are pieces separately and can be replaced.
  But notebooks disassemble and replacement of cooling modules is not easy and a little more difficult for someone who has no experience and never changed something like that. It s just too risky, because this person may damage the motherboard very easily.

  So, it's probably best to contact the technician of specifications for these s replacements!
  The ASP can command the support of the head of Toshiba warehouse cooling modules and compatible and could replace it.

  Best wishes & congratulations buddy ;)

• Satellite A60-s302: 0x0000007B BSOD while installing Win XP

  Hi all

  I have an old Satillite A60 and would like to reinstall Windows XP without the Toshiba recovery cd.

  When I boot from cd I get the configuration screen (text - back like) windows and it starts to load all the files.
  But when the message "windows start Setup" appears I get a blue screen with an error "0x0000007B".

  I have to load 'RAID or SATA drivers custom' installation with the F6 key?
  If so should what drivers I use?
  Or is there another solution to this problem?

  Thanks for the help
  Peter

  Hello

  As far as I know you don t need RAID drivers and don t need all the SATA drivers.
  What version of Win XP do you use? SP2 is included?

  If this isn't the case, please include to CD Win XP SP2 using nLite.

  By the way; I would recommend setting the default BIOS (press F9 BIOS and save the changes)

• Satellite L875-116 turns off when installing graphics driver

  Computer laptop L875-116 was caught in the cycle of continuous reboot (last driver loaded CLASSPNP. (SYS). Retrieved HARD drive recovery, but laptop still caught up in the cycle of rebooting to the 6/49 - graphics driver.

  Attempt to retrieve the DVD, new was wobbling at 6/49, but eventually got to 49/49 after three hours.

  Error with Catalyst software reports of (the age AMD) and only runs pilot generic VGA.

  When tried to update the driver PC gets stuck in the new cycle of rebooting.

  If uninstalling driver update (F8, last known good configuration) that's the generic VGA driver running.

  The thoughts if it is hardware or software related?

  (Windows 7, 64-bit)

  > Any thoughts if this is hardware or software related?

  In my opinion its hardware problem.
  Eventually he s a graphics card problem.

  Usually the laptop should work correctly after or during the process of recovery if it s not the case, then basically a hardware problem is the troublemaker

  Here are several tips:
  You should try to open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, then click on diagnose and repair.

• Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE just cut off completely

  Everything was in working order last night. Today when I tried to use my laptop in the University, after awhile the laptop just cut off completely (not 'window stops', literally just cut off). At this point I noticed was the charge indicator not illuminated.

  So I checked that it was in the form correctly and everything was connected, who he was, but still no joy. I think it is maybe that my charger is dead on me.
  But I'm not positive, as when I remove the battery and reinsert it, the "power connection" comes on, even if the charge light.
  I could put my laptop then reinsert the battery, but it would be cut at random (probably because she have relatively no power left in it).

  Does anyone know if that means anything?
  When it is on, but not connected to a power supply when you move the battery icon... He thought it was still connected to a power source (if I had the power cord in or out of the laptop).

  Sorry if this seems obvious to some, just I would prefer not to buy a new charger to see that there is a problem with the socket on the back of my laptop, or a problem with the laptop battery etc. If you unplug your laptop, then remove and reinsert the battery, it lights the led "connection voltage?

  Hope to hear some reviews soon, that could help me cope with my laptop troubles.

  Thanks for reading,

  Dan

  Hello

  Simply put your laptop turns off automatically. Is this good?

  Well, for me it sounds a little like the laptop stopped automatically to prevent material damage due to a temperature high.
  Perhaps this was caused due to overheating.

  This can occurs if the modules of cooling don t work properly and can not cool with a maximum return. Generally, this is related to dust and debris blocking the cooling fans.

  This happened to me too many times there... I cleaned the cooling fan using a jet of compressed air and it helped.

  Maybe you should check this too...

• Disc of some issues concerning the recovery of Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422

  Dear all,

  I have problem with my Satellite A215 - S7422 (AMD)
  I bought this unit included Windows Vista Home Premium + recovery disk inside the packaging.
  I love the Vista fitures, amazing!
  But some programs I've had has not supported for Vista. It's too bad for me.
  So, I tried to make new partition installed Windows XP SP2.
  The problem is that my Vista not appeared more.
  So I tried to recover my Vista with my recovery disk. But unfortunately, it has not worked at all.

  Issues related to the:
  1 can recovery CD did not work if divide us the hard disk (make a few partitions)?
  2. my recovery disk file is .tib, so I try to use Acronis Image, while I have my laptop running program has not detected DVD player. I try to copy the file to two disk partition recovery empty, I can see the .tib file, but it did not work also. Can you explain what causes probably?
  3. If I format all the drives that make a player, can Recovery Disc works?

  Please do me a favor for this
  Your help will be appreciated.

  I'm not quite sure how it works on the American series, but I think that it s not very different from the series HAD m.

  (1) No, you can not divide the HARD disk by using the recovery disk. The recovery disc will format the whole HARD disk and create partitions as at the beginning.
  (2) I doubt you can burn using other 3rd party programs. Toshiba has installed creator Toshiba Recovery disk that should be used to burn the recovery disk
  (3) as I said in point 1-> recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive. It s no matter how many partitions is created on the HARD drive. Everything will be erased

• 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
