  3 replace the inverter - continuous flashing
  4. replace the screen - continuous flashing
  5 reset the default settings of the bios - continuous flashing
  6. started in safe mode - continuous flashing

  In my view it's hard to say what's wrong here.
  You said that if you connect the external monitor, the display is OK means (in my opinion) than the motherboard and graphics card should be ok.

  I think you should visit a next engineer downtown to get verified material sound much less expensive than buying the following parts.

• Satellite A30 - 203 - didn't turn, just flashing lights

  My Satellite A30-203 does not illuminate. When I press the power button / nothing happens, but if I remove the power then when I press the power button all the lights other thanthe lights HD lights up and the power lights going outs and less than half a second after the rest of the lights will turn off.

  Is this what can I do with it?

  Hey,.

  In my opinion, there is nothing that you can do it sounds like a bad material work because Windows installation doesn t affect the startup procedure until Windows starts so you have a hardware problem.

  What you can try is the following:

  If it doesn t work you need professional help from technicians of laptop I think

• Satellite A30-514 looks very dead

  Satellite A30-514 friend is sitting right here in front of me:

  1. the switch does nothing; push or pressed.
  2. every six seconds a motor turns for a second
  3. in the six second gaps the disk and CD lights flashing briefly, and there is a slight click
  4. then the disk and CD lights flashing just until the engine is running
  5. the screen shows nothing
  6. I tried to get to the BIOS (ESC, F1, F2, Del, F12) - nothing.
  7. a bootable CD in the drive does nothing.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you, Tom

  In my view, there is nothing that you can do it alone. The laptop must be verified with special diagnostics tools. Ask your friend did it last days with this laptop.

  Maybe update the BIOS?

  > I have a lot of data and images on the disc that I didn't lose

  I have bad news boyfriend. The message missing operating system means that the laptop can not find the operating system on the HARD drive. And do you know why the laptop can not find the OS (operating system)?
  Because the HARD drive is DEAD!

  I had the same behavior, 2 years ago. My 4 year old HARD drive was dead. It was an accident of the head and I lost all my files :(

  But fortunately, I created backups on CD so I could restore my photos and my mp3.

• Satellite A30 - does not start after the RAM to level

  Hello

  I recently installed a crucial for memory
  my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite A30. However, when I try and
  restart the laptop, he tries to restart the fan turns on then turns off with a beep sound and this is not
  even to get to the Toshiba start screen.

  The memory I installed is 1 GB, 200-pin SO-DIMM, 128 X 64, DDR 333, CL2.5, part number CT12864X335.

  "Memory module PC2700 DDR 1 GB, 200-pin SODIMM

  I have
  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
  slot machines, but it still has the same problem.

  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.

• Satellite A30 - update BIOS cannot access bios and no light to full charge

  Hello

  Like a fool I upgraded my bios (to 1.80) for Satellite A30 (PSA30E). I've noticed two problems.

  (a) during start-up I no longer get any what welcome screen and can not access the bios or boot from other devices - so if I want to boot from the CD now I can not - for example impossible to reinstall the operating system in the future

  (b) the battery suddenly was not fully charged and constantly hangs on 99% (apparently)

  (c) who knows what else could go wrong

  I'd like to undo what I've done, but it does not seem possible. How the hell can I solve it, since clearly the update of the bios is incorrect. Find a bios update file earlier (and how to use it)? Can I fix it?

  Someone at - it ideas?

  David

  Hello

  First may to ask why you have updated the BIOS. If everything works, the update of the BIOS is not necessary.

  OK, how have you tried to access the BIOS? Usually the F2 key must be pressed immediately after starting the laptop. You can try to press several times.

  But you can start from STRANGE on different ways. You can press C button and the specifications will enable booting from the drive or you press F12 and you choose the STRANGE as a source of start-up.

  I put t know why the power of the battery freezes at 99%, but you can try to remove the battery and wait several times. Then reconnect and check the status of the battery.

• Satellite A30 won't boot to the top

  My computer does not start at the top. Yesterday, I had the blue screen but then restarted and everything was OK. Woke up this morning to the computer does not start. I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. I got the Toshiba screen, then the black screen to choose 'Start normally', 'last good settings', 'safe mode', "safe mode with network" etc.

  I chose normal startup, then I get the Windows XP screen with the blue bar. When that has been loaded, he went back to the initial screen for Toshiba and then continues to repeat. I also tried safe mode, but that charge or the other.

  What should I do? I don't want to erase the hard drive because there a lot of important data (family photos, work) etc. Please help me

  Thank you!

  You can remove the HARD 2.5 laptop drive and you can connect it via USB to another PC. Then you may be able to save any important files.
  After this procedure the plug back in the HARD drive and boot from the recovery CD to reinstall the OS.

• Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

  Hi friends.
  I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
  I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
  Error message:
  "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

  If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

  The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

  to apologize for my bad English.

  Hello

  It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
  I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

  But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

  Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
  It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

  But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
  I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

• 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.

• Updated the BIOS on Satellite A30

  Hello

  I'm about to update the BIOS on my computer Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop (Service Pack 3).
  I downloaded the BIOS updated and decided to update the BIOS from Windows such as recommended on the Toshiba site.

  On the site he mentions before the BIOS upgrade, please ensure the following:

  Laptop BIOS update:

  Before upgrading the BIOS level, please do the following:
  -Portable is in stand-alone mode.
  -Laptop is plugged into the mains.
  -Laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode.
  -Remove all PC cards.

  1 Windows based BIOS update:
  1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
  2. ensure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.
  3 run the *.exe extracted to the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.
  4. the BIOS update will be done automatically.
  5. after a few minutes, the computer will restart automatically.

  I'm not sure of what he means by laptop computer must be in boot mode and not recovery mode

  What is the startup mode and how to fix my laptop in this mode?
  Can't I just run the file downloaded from my office?

  Thank you;

  As mentioned by Garrett; You must download the package from the BIOS, then unzip it and then you can run the exe file.
  Usually it s no matter where the package was decompressed!

• Satellite A30 - battery discharges when connected to the network

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me!
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. He has recently started to discharge the battery when it is connected to and running off, the sector. If the screen icon shows current alternative (mode full power), but the % of the battery decreases by 5% per minute.

  The battery on the laptop light is off. If I turned off the pc, the light will go orange, load. When I restart, it stays orange for a few seconds, then turns off again.

  Is this a problem with the battery or load main, or something else? Please help, this is driving me crazy, that I keep having to turn it off to recharge!

  Thank you very much

  I think battery is responsible for this. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, so I guess the battery is the best.
  Remove the battery and check the label of the battery. You will find the exact reference. using this part number, you can order new battery for your laptop satellite.

• Re: No sound on Satellite A30

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30-232 model. For awhile I have no sound. First of all, I tried to re-install the audio driver unfortunately when I try to deinstallieren driver restarts at the window (a blue screen appears) so thay only I can delete is safe mode. After so many try, I decided to use the recovery disk, but again the same problem it really is strange no? (I'm sure that the sound card is ok because in safe mode, I hear the beep).

  Please me know because I think for a long time, but I found no solution.

  Thank you very much

  Yes, it's really strange.

  Have you checked Manager and State of the card device after the installation of clean operating system?
  Have you checked the sound settings and volume knob?

  The same situation with headphones?

• Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

  Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
  I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

  I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

  This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

  Hello

  It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
  Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
  Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.
