  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop.
  I'm trying to re - install the original windows home edition while I missed the latest windows and I don't have any OS on my laptop.

  First problem is, I'm not able to edit the topics from a hard disk to the cd room in the bios menu to change the reading order.

  Second, we're sometimes it work and I can't change point of cd rom, but after a few minutes lp albums stop while it deals with windows instalation.

  Please let me know what is the problem and how can I solve it?
  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Perhaps, the Bios is damaged and need to be reflashed

  The hard drive can be a troublemaker. To be honest, it is not easy to say what is really happening through this forum. It can turned off because of overheating, clean the tower with air jet

• Satellite A30 303 stops suddenly

  Very recently (strangely, just like the year warranty missed!) my laptop has been close so any intensive (I guess) the program is running (games, Norton Antivirus full analysis, in particular). Deleting the temporary files is a suggested by Symantec for help, but only on one occasion. It is not closed for any other use; There is no error message or accident, stopping just sudden and decommissioned. When he took over, there is no error message.

  Help please?

  Hi Roger,

  I suspect that your A30 could be overheating. There is a thermal trigger designed to cut power to the laptop if the CPU overheats. Normally this will be accompanied by an increase in the activity of fan cooling.

  You will find a lot of posts in this forum about exactly this situation, but in short, I recommend to use a hose of vacuum cleaner against the grids of aspiration of air on the bottom of the A30 fan to remove all dust and debris from the heatsink to the CPU.

  If the problem persists, it may be necessary to remove the heatsink for cleaning but this can invalidate your warranty if it is still in force.

• 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 A30-213 - stops after loading Internet pages

  My satellite A30 213 stops almost everytime, when I enter a website with a lot of uploadings. The machine rotates in about a minute or two and closed its doors. I know that my RAM is only 256 KB. Is that why and in this case, what can I do about it?

  Best regards
  Janne

  Hello

  It is not easy to give a correct answer, but the fact is that 256 MB of RAM for using Windows XP Home edition is really not much. I do not know what A30 you have exactly, but some of them can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM.

  RAM modules are not more expensive and I recommend you to upgrade to 1 GB minimum. After this the laptop will have a lot more resources and will go much faster.

• 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.

  Toshiba Satellite A30 303

  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:
  http://forums.Afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/93406

  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)

  Null value

  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.

  Good bye

• 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.

  Best regards

• 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.

  Ali

  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.

• Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

  I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
  I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

  The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
  This can be caused by an overheating problem!

  How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
  If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

  To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
  The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

  In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
  Good bye

• Satellite A30 always stop without notice

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with my laptop Satellite A30. It will always stop without notice. But the thing is that I n it's a problem of heating with the fans. The laptop turns off only to if im under the laptop to maximum power or full power from the AC adapter. Tasks that can be taxed as a full system virus scan or play games will be stopped after about 20 minutes more than the setting of high battery power or if its connection to the network and is set to full power. Using word or simple tasks are not.

  Now im thinking there may be a problem with my cpu it can not handle when it needs to perform tasks advanced on my laptop. What could be the problem? Low power my laptop works very well even when executing these advances of the tasks it is only a problem when its power on full or high.

  Any help or advice?

  Hello

  Thanks for the description I always think of it s an overheating problem.
  Current laptop saver control different modes of consumption if the laptop works with the AC adapter or with full power, the energy saver uses different power mode when the laptop will run only to batteries.

  Different consumption patterns are supported various parameters of the processor and the different method of cooling.
  Probably the CPU works with a hot and maximum performance when the power adapter is connected.

  I think you should check the cooling modules and fans. Try cleaning carefully with the vacuum cleaner. But if you have no experience with these procedures, then request a technician or a person with more experience

• 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

• Help: Satellite A30 - 303 Multidrive is not available

  I have problems with the multidrive (DVD-RW/DVDRAM/CD-RW) of my A30-303. Whenever I have insert a CD or a DVD, it delivers the following error message:

  "E:\ is not accessible.

  The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error"

  the weird thing is that after a few attempts (eject and reinsert drives) some of the disks actually read. What is a driver/firmware issue? or I have to have it replaced? BTW it is covered by the warranty?

  Hello

  Kutlaya is right. If there is failure of equipment or malfunction, the replacement will be covered by the warranty.

  In any case, it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem and have you made any changes.
