• Satellite A30 - Wifi PCMCIA does not work

  Hello, please help.
  I connected a PCMCIA Wifi Netgear card for wireless access. Unfortunately, even if I get all the signs that I am connected, internet Explorer will not access the internet. I checked all firewall and antivirus, etc...
  Here, I get a sign that I'm connected, but it does not work. I even get an ip address, I'm confused.
  I connect with ethernet without problem.
  I have the same problem connecting with a USB Wifi adapter, it does not connect.
  It seems that something is blocking before connection to the network card.

  Help, please.

• Satellite Pro A40 fell on the wireless network card; Damaged PCMCIA slot

  This morning my Satellite Pro A40 (Celeron 2.6) fell 40 cm. He fell right on the wireless network card that has been inserted. This card is still alive and so is the rest of the laptop, but the PCMCIA location is little damaged. I can insert PC cards almost completely, just the last piece (when the pins are) wrong.

  I removed the cover near the CPU, and there, I could see the inside PCMCIA slot; I could see the main part and the last part where the pins are. That little part as is pushed upward, as you can see in the pictures.

  I think I'd be able to fix myself this PCMCIA slot, but I can't remove it. I removed all the screws on the rear plate, but he is still blocked.

  Pics:

  PCMCIA slot

  The PCMCIA location; on the left, you will see the part with the pins, which is pushed upward. It's also what I see when I look at the pins in the PCMCIA slot. as they are pushed down, but I don't think they are folded.

  Wireless network card

  Wireless network card; It is a little damaged but it still works.

  Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the back plate, or another way to remove the PCMCIA slot and fix it?

  Hi Steve

  Well, I can give t well you not answer how you can just remove the PCMCIA slot.
  There are a lot of screws and to my knowledge, it is necessary to remove all covers and screws that are placed at the bottom of the unit and inside under the keyboard.
  Please check this specific device. Perhaps you have overlooked a few screws.

  But if it is impossible to remove the PCMCIA slot of the unit, I recommend to ask the service partner for a detailed instruction.

  Good luck

  Good bye

• Satellite A30 213: broken in the power supply pin

  I have so many problems with this.
  I'd rather put it in the trash than to fix it, but unfortunately I have important documents that I have not saved.

  Basically, the PIN into the Jack of the laptop is broken and I can't be able to my laptop and my battery is running out of power

  The battery is in the battery-compatible A30 - 213 in the A30 714?

  And someone has other solutions?

  Please answer as soon as possible

  Hello

  First of all a few words about the battery.
  If I m not wrong not the Satellite A30 213 uses the same battery as the A30-714.
  Therefore, you should be able to use the same battery in both units A30.

  With regard to the question on another solution.
  Well, there is only one real solution. The power supply needs to be replaced.
  I m not sure if it s only plugged or soldered on the map. However, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  This should be always replaced by a mobile technician because the dismantling procedure is very delicate and difficult.

  Best regards and good luck

• Reassemble Satellite A30

  Hi all, beginner's.

  It was so great to have the Satellite A30, that I had to disassemble it had broken pins in the external power Jack and the total repair cost!

  Motherboard has been returned with the new socket and I put it back together again. BUT, there are two wires (a black & white one ending in the endpoints rubber, almost as if they should be able to fit into two pins somewhere) that come from the display unit and disappear into slot oblong m/Board.

  No one knows where they are connected - PC repair shop suggested they floated around the bock wireless on M/Board - I would like to know the location appropriate for them.
  Robin

  Hello

  These two mysterious son belong to the antennas wireless located in the cover of your screen and the little Gizmo on each wire is equipped with a mini-coax plug. The white wire is the main antenna and the black is the auxiliary. , so if you connect the wires on a map wireless take care and check the connector on the wifi card to one that is the main and auxiliary

  Hope I could help you.

• Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

  Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
  The built-in modem does not work.

  * Explanation: *.
  The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
  The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

  When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

  I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
  I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

  This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
  Thank you
  S.

• Satellite A30 - 151 - what memory module can use?

  Hello

  I have TOSHIBA Satellite A30-151 with 768 MB of DDR1 memory.
  I want to upgrade. What is the best memory that I can buy?

  the card says:
  Max 2 048 MB.

  So, how many slots I? I can buy 2 x 1 Go DDR1-333 memory? Can it be more than 333 then?

  Thank you
  NIR.

  Hello

  It is really an oldie
  As far as I know that you can upgrade the RAM up to 2 GB of RAM
  The bus (FSB) front-end speed seems to support 533 Mhz and that's why you should be able to use the 533 Mhz RAM modules.

  PS: The laptop must support 2 slots of memory if you are able to put 2 x 1 GB RAM

• Satellite A30-504 modem does not

  Hi all

  Old old old Satellite A30 504 my father had problems of modem for quite awhile. Here are the symptoms exposed:

  Modem is recognized as "TOSHIBA Software Modem AMR" and classified works correctly. However, when you query the modem, I get the following message:

  + The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional. +

  Settings of resources:
  Range of e/s-2400-24FF
  E/s series 2000-207F
  IRQ 7
  (I can't change any of these settings)

  Needless to say that the modem does not work.

  Has anyone ever met such a problem before? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I really don't want to get a PCMCIA modem for this laptop, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you in advance!

  took out and put back the old memory and the laptop boots
  normally and is OK, I even tried to put the memory in different

  This suggests that memory is faulty, as bought crucial memory must be compatible with my laptop?

  Thanks for your time,

  You have this problem if you use modules or only the new module?

  If you only use the new module, the case is clear. The new module is defective or is not compatible with the laptop.
  I think you should get back on the computer dealer and request a new. Maybe you can get a Kingston module because I have only good experience with this production.

  If you use both modules, they are not compatible. You should only use the modules with the same specifications.

• Possible motherboard on Satellite A30 problem

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30 laptop computer. Recently, he began to fade until it is still on.

  Whatever the dough / battery and AC or AC only whenever I turn on the laptop the front led light for one minute and then go off. If I keep the power button then the lights are light and flick off, once again but after release of the CD LED power button / Power LED flick on then tap off and the HARD disk activity light turns very weakly for a millisecond before the device shows no power.

  I tried the new memory in two slots
  new CPU using the new thermal grease
  Boot diskless HARD and CD

  I disassembled the unit and can see no obvious damage to components or to the motherboard. The welding of the motherboard looks also good.

  If I plug the power cable then the battery charge indicator is Amber for 2 sec and then green. As soon as you press the power button the foregoing occurs again.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your machine has a malfunction serious mainboard. Welds may be ok, but you have a microscope to check as a senior technician or engineer? The other point: it may be a faulty resistor or capacitor or something else, personally, I think it must be something like that from the points of error described on something of the power subsystem.
  You can also try another thing: If you have your removed keyboard could look under the motherboard, then you can try to unplug a cable which must be located on the lower part before the entrance of the handrest. It s not a thin rather a high flatcable which should be for the Panel in the front of your machine (which is for multimedia keys and so forth) and unplug it. Check what happens if nothing, then you def. malfunction mainboard, if the machine starts then the front pcb is defective and must be replaced.

• Satellite A30 - PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello

  I got a Satellite A30-064 as gift. The guy who gave it to me, said its broken. I checked the forum startup error message:

  + PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE - M0F: exit PXE ROM +

  I can boot in the BIOS, change the HARD drive. The two old or new are properly recognized in the BIOS. Boot order is correct (not LAN).

  I have to give it to the recycling station? I don't not want to was wrong, it seems to me the error which is left is on the motherboard. Would this be a machine "Oops, I spilled my coffee on the keyboard?

  Has anyone managed to get rid of a similar problem?

  Usually this error message appears because the laptop tries to start from LAN because she doesn t recognize other bootable devices like ODD or HARD disk.

  Usually if the HARD drive would be recognized then this message PXE - E61 appears.

  What happens if you insert a bootable CD and press the C key immediately after starting the laptop?
  The C button should allow booting from ODD.

  Please check this!

• Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.
  I found some Chargers compatible with laptops Satellite A30 on another site, but they are quite expensive (about £55). Another less expensive option?

  Thank you

  Thomas

  Hello

  Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
  a wrong voltage or whatever.

  I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

  My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

  Cost: $ 37

  After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
  Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
  If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

  You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.

• Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

  I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

  I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
  First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

  I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
  The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

  Hello

  Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

  Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

  Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

• Satellite M40x-105 - PCMCIA wireless LAN card

  Hi guys. One question.

  In a Toshiba Satellite M40X-105 that has a pcmcia Type II card slot, will be this LAN card wireless ZYXEL G-170 s card 802.11 wireless g CardBus, work? Card CardBus is only compatible with pitches type II 32-bit card right?

  Is the laptop has a map of 32 or 16 bits? Thank you

  Hey,.

  In general I put t see a reason why it should not work = PC card slot PCMCIA slot.
  Only cards express don t work because express card is the successor of PCMCIA.

  An alternative you can buy a USB key with the WLAN functionality if you prefer this way. ;)

• I inserted the wireless network card, but it does not work on Satellite A30

  Hello please, be gentle, lol.

  I have a Satellite A30, no manuals, disks etc. of second hand.
  I had to buy a wireless card and installed it myself (error?).

  The card is an Intel P/N: PA3362U 1MPC.

  My is... have issue I installed it properly (see below), and can someone point me in the right direction for the correct driver?

  (Correct?) installation... .clipped perfectly in the slot in the compartment in the base of the laptop. Two sons rolled? one longer than the other?
  I plugged them as follows... more long wire to THE & shorter wire by HAND (on map)? Does this sound correct?
  How could I not if it works?

  The LED does not illuminate when the wifi switch is on?
  Is it normal when the driver not installed? FN + F8 has no effect? Again the ths is normal without driver installed?

  Thank you in advance, I'm completely stuck here... Matt

  Hello

  The PA3362U 1MPC seems to be a network wireless Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG MiniPCI Type 3b card. I think it is s ok and should be compatible.

  The WLan driver should be found here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/
  Take the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 driver.

  > I plugged these as follows... more long wire to THE & shorter wire by HAND (on map)? Does this sound correct?
  I put t know which wire is short or long, but the two sons are different in color.
  Should the white cable goes to the hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage

  Well, you will not be able to connect to the Wlan ;)

  > Is - this normal when the driver is not installed? FN + F8 has no effect? Again the ths is normal without driver installed?
  You should check if the other FN keys work correctly. If other n t FN keys work then Fn + F8 does not work too

  PS: you can activate the WLan also in Device Manager-> properties-> tab advanced Wlan card
