• Satellite A30 - 303 unplanned shutdown?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop Satellite A30-303. Somehow, independent programs open in Windows XP (Home, Pro edition, tried both), computer laptop unexpectedly shutw down, stop immediately. No message from windows, no errors of any kind, nothing, just the way it went.

  It's very strange. I have read all of the instructions, did the bios update to 1.80 (dated Sep 15) and still the same thing.

  Fact checking for viruses, all firewalls security and it did not help at all.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,
  Kind regards

  Hello Hakan

  Please check that the machine not too much heat! The symptom you describe is exactly that of a machine overheating. Check if the fan is running continuously before stopping. Also check that there is no dust in the cooling of the machine module.

• Satellite A30 - 303 - drivers for Windows 7 that I can use?

  Hello!

  I just installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A30 303
  What drivers and updates download for it? I can't find any information on this topic... also toshiba detector program cannot identify my laptop...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think it might be a little difficult to get Windows 7 drivers for this good old classic... The point is that Satellite A30 isn't designed for Windows 7, then you the way simplest are using Toshiba recovery disc where all the drivers and tools are already preinstalled.

  I can only find Windows XP drivers on the Toshiba site, so in my opinion, it would be the best choice for this laptop.

• Satellite A30 303: error of calibration on power mat * a UJ-811

  Hello, I have a problem with my satellite A30-303.
  I am trying to record CDs and DVDs. A month ago it gives me an error at the end of the recording. The error is 'Power Calibration Error'.
  How can I solve this?

  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  I read some of the comments in this forum about power calibration error and it seems that usually only the drive replacement will solve the problem.
  One reason might be poor quality media like CD/DVD
  But please check out this site:

  But if this error occurs with all CD/DVD media, so in my opinion, the drive should be replaced

• Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

  Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

  I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

  Hello

  It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
  It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

  But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
  You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

  Hope I could help a little.

• Update the BIOS on Satellite A30 303

  Having a Satellite A30-303.
  With no intern work DVD.
  Have a usb DVD boot.

  I wonder if I can update Bios from Ubuntu. I need execute a .exe.

  Or if I can take a floppy and run the file BACK.

  Hello!

  For the Satellite A30 only one based on windows BIOS update is available.
  I think this will not work on Ubuntu and install Windows to make this update.

  Normally on Windows systems, you need to download the BIOS update, extract the .exe file and start it. That's all.

  Good bye

• Recovery of my Satellite A30 303

  Hello

  My Satellite A30 303 needs to be recovered that XP is constantly hooked and crashing and I would also be able to create a partition with a distro of linux on it, but the problem is that the DVD - RAM drive no longer works, and I was using a DVD-RAM external for awhile drive LG GSA - 2166D to read and write CDs , but I can't get the laptop to start this device as it is USB. Is it possible to boot from this device, or is it an another workaround?

  A big thank you to anyone who can help me.

  Hello

  Don t waste time and start don t try from the external USB CD/DVD drive.
  It's just not possible!

  The BIOS does not support a boot from the USB WEIRD. The BIOS supports disk HARD, the ODD, the LAN and USB FDD as devices bootable but not CD/DVD USB drive.

  You have no other choice as to buy a compatible CD player and internal support.

  Of course, you can try to boot from LAN, but it's not very easy and you will need to configure a RIS server.

• Should I use IDE or a SATA HDD in a Satellite A30 303

  Hi there, I was wondering what HARD drive I can get for my laptop A30-303 because the old is dying today being a machine for 4 years, so I would like to upgrade. Y at - it a maximum size of the machine, or I can put in any size of HARD drive?

  Also the HARD disk doesn't have an IDE or SATA interface?

  Hello

  As far as I remember the Satellite A30-303 PSA30E series came with a 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive.
  The laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5). This means that you need to use the HARD drive that supports an IDE interface!

  But note; not all HARD drive sizes are supported. There is a BIOS HARD disk size limitation.
  I'm not sure on the compatible HARD disk sizes but in my opinion, you should be able to use 80 GB, 100 GB of maybe too.

• Satellite A30 303 stops automatically

  My Satellite SA30-303 keeps power off. I suspect it is an overheating problem. Any suggestions?

  Hello

  You might be right.
  To my knowledge the OS could the laptop will stop if the temperature increased at the critical level.

  You know that each device preinstalled in the notebook produced heat.
  Sometimes more operating devices with maximum performance.
  The devices run with maximum when performance performance heavyweight like games runs on the laptop.

  On my laptop Toshiba power saver determines the method of cooling and the processing speed of the CPU. I think that this is also preinstalled on your laptop. Therefore, you should first check these options.

  In addition, you should check your module cooling fans. Sometimes the dust and debris keep the laptop cooling properly.
  You must also have sufficient free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.

• Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

  After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

  Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

  The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

  Hello

  Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

• Satellite A30-414 turn off randomly

  Hi, I'm new here. I own this Satellite A30-414. It works well, but it turns off randomly. I explain.

  I might use it for non-stop days, it works well, but sometimes it empties and turns off. Then it always turns on the second attempt. I mean, after the stop, I turn it on, I see the MESSAGE, then it turns off again. The second time I turn it on it goes OK and starts Windows XP Pro SP3. There is no particular action, I do it turns off, it can happen any application at any time. As I said, it can stay for days, connected to the internet via wifi or lan, download P2P stuff, no problem not turn off.

  I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway. Maybe I'm thniking more heating unsoldered some brazing under BGA chips, so it might need a redistribution of some chips, maybe the graphics chip

  Can you help me please?

  Thanx

  Hi satiropan,

  > I thought it was the temperature because it's warm enough, so I run it on a laptop computer have lower airflow, not at all, it turns off randomly anyway.
  Such an external Notebook Cooler will not help you solve this problem. The internal cooling fan is designed and tested for this laptop and everything will work perfectly even on high usage. External cooling is not necessary.

  It's old enough laptop model, so I imagine that a lot of dust blocking the cooling fan. Therefore, clean it with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. The exact procedure is described here:

• Satellite A200 - 1C0 - overheating and close

  Hello world:

  I ve got a Satellite A200 - 1C0 PSAE0E and since one month, it stops due to overheating (hybridized with hot CPU). The fact is that when I restart the computer to the BIOS screen, fan of the processor begins to work at a very high speed (to cool the CPU), but to start Windows to start the fan suddenly stops, and the fact is that the CPU is always at 78 degrees celsius.

  I tried updating the BIOS, reinstall windows recovery partition and all components, but it does not solve anything. Also tried to install Windows 7 and still nothing and windows Xp and still nothing. I Don t know what else to do. Help will be apreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Hey,.

  To properly clean your cooling system, see this article from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  Another reason could be the old thermal grease and maybe, it must be renewed. If t, you can do it yourself, ask a technician for laptop help! :)

• Satellite A30 303: no update firmware for drive UJ-811 H100

  Hello!

  I have model witch toshiba A30-303 have mast * one optical drive UJ-811 H100, I have this laptop for over 2 years and I have strength to find any update on this drive I n even know if this company exists (matsu * a).

  I've changed this disc about 5 or 6 times with a new period of warranty due to reading problems.

  I'll be happy if someone knows something about the update of this player

  GEIA sou Taso,

  Matsu * one is the same company that PANASONIC which is more known for us. The UJ-811 is a quite old model (3-4 years) and very well known problems.

  You forgot to mention in your post...
  (1) exactly, what is not working on your disk (writing? read?) DVD? CD? Movies?) and also
  (2) why do you think a firmware would solve your problem. (he has none)
  (3) how often and for what purpose do you use your car,.
  (4) and finally to what type of physical environment (home? mobile? dusty?) that you are using your laptop.

  Be aware, that optical readers get very easily breakable, especially when it is used for watching/rip movies on them or access the drive streaming of games. Another possible reason would be a wrong installation / incompatible software on your PC that can cause the drive not to work properly (or even disappear).

  You can try to 'clean up unused software' on your laptop and also to put a soft recovery to check, if your CD drive will be properly again. If the problem will not go away, you need to exchange it for a different brand new maybe even one (it was 5 times that a PANASONIC drive is broken?  ;)). If you are a heavy user of DVD player (movies, tearing, Burning, blah) you should ALSO get yourself a USB external... they hardly ever get broken, are faster and more reliable, and are much less expensive to replace. One of my friends who had already 3 discs replaced in his book could confirm as the best solution.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A30 cleaning (overheating)

  OK here the same old problem, overheating.
  now able to go n im getting my hands durty and clean my LT, ive done b4 with DTs and other LTs, however, as im in College, and have little time and its vital that I don't mean anyhting, (ive been having one of the seasonal months where I don't want to risk what anything, because everything goes wrong) so im planing on doing the old shell out money for a work I can do myself to save myself the hassle.

  I need to find a place that will clean up on my LT, reapply thermal past etc etc and wondered if anyone had any suggestions of WHO to try.

  I have a feeling that my warranty was exhausted (thought don't know, I need to find my documentation: S). so I can't ask Peter Tosh, do it.

  everyone has ideas or suggestions, I am 100% positive, it is a problem of overheating and that would solve my problems as the work im doing United is rather processor intensive and am using my LT as I don't have access to my DT
  Thanks in advance.

  HI Francesca.

  Do not disassemble your laptop, you could try to suck the dust/debris by the grids of aspiration of fan with a vacuum cleaner. I use this technique on my A30 regularly.

  This has the advantage of not requiring any disassembly, so there is no risk of disturbing all the internal components.

• Satellite Pro A210 - keyboard and touchpad stop working after hibernation

  I installed Windows 7 (32 bit) on my Satellite Pro A210 and have a similar problem. When it starts OK but after hibernation the keyboard and touchpad stop working after 3 minutes. The only way to fix it is a re-boot of the force.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Hello

  You have installed all the drivers for your laptop? I mean especially the chipset driver.
  Check this box!

  If you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager, you must install all the missing drivers.

  Last but not least don't forget to install all Windows 7 updates available that you can get thorugh Windows Update.

  Sorry, but that's all I can say at the moment
