• Satellite A30 PSA30E cannot start properly - PXE - E61: Media Test Failure

  Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
  I decided to use the recovery cd to format my laptop and do a clean install, because it became very slow.
  It takes an age to start etc.

  I followed the instructions on the leaflet that was packaged with the CD and everything seems to work very well.
  The files seem to be loading but after abuot 7-8 minutes (about 15% in the process) is an error page came with the following.

  "For Realtek RTL8139 (X) /8138/ 810 X PCI.
  PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
  "PXE - MOF: PXE Rom of output.

  I noticed that the power supply has been very hot and the bottom of the computer was also very hot so perhaps thought that the power supply is maybe defective. I had an another same PSU so tried again with this.

  Same problem again!
  Do you think that the hard drive is faulty? I haven't noticed any problems before, except for the slow response generally.

  I would be grateful for any useful comment.

  Hello

  This message usually if the laptop cannot find a bootable device and finally tires to boot from LAN.
  But if the boot to LAN is not possible then the message PXE - E61: Media Test Failure, check cable would appear on the screen.

  Generally, this will happen if the HARD drive is not accessible (dead or defective) or the laptop cannot boot from the disc.

  I think that you should first check if it would be possible to solve this problem by using a new HARD drive.

  Goodbye & good luck

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• Satellite A30 off completely

  I've had my Toshiba Satellite A30 about 18 months - it has recently started to 'crash' (off completely) when I run a web - cam, or a HP Deskjet 600 to a parallel port - it has the same effect when I run Macafee VirusScan and BTYahoo Spy watch software - does anyone know what my problem is?

  Hello

  I used to have a similar problem - my A30-161 would be very hot and then all of a sudden turned off. I had him for 15 months. I guess, because the antivirus scan requires more processor power that requires more power, and USB devices use the device (in most cases), it is possible that your channel of cooling near the radiator and power supply is blocked by dust. Mine was full of dust impact.

  It is under the Panel with two screws T10 (the 6 pointed star) near fans and cooling grids - be careful, however, because the CPU is under him as well.

  You can find a guide step by step with images (which are the A30) to:

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite A30: Error number (11122) cannot load the bitmap with recovery CD

  I have a Toshiba A30 I want to reformat with the recovery disk. I get that day then I get an error that reads:

  The error number (11122) cannot load the bitmap file. Height max = 100

  The hard drive has now been deleted and I can't sent this message to reformat.

  Can someone help me on this please.

  Hello

  Satellite A30 is quite old and I wonder what report you something like this after so long. I put t know exactly what is happening, but it will be interesting to know a few things:

  Have you noticed a similar problem before?
  Are you using the original disk or some copy?
  Is there a problem with the HARD drive?

  Please do a little bit more about these things.

• Satellite A30 - cannot set up the binding wireless modem

  Hello
  I have a satellite a30. I just upgraded to broadband and cannot configure the WiFi wizzard. the modem is working perfectly thanks to threads, but cannot set up wireless despite my efforts! Please can someone help?
  see you soon
  Claire

  Hello

  What's the problem?
  You are not able to see the thread or what?

  Are you sure of the laptop and built-in wireless network card?

  Remember that the WiFi card is optional on the Satellite A30 and not all models includes the Wlan miniPCI card
  Thanks for posting more details!

  PS; If the laptop supports a WLan card internal, you should check only that steps;

  -Check if the WLan adapter is enabled on the laptop. Activate the switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination!
  -Check if the windows own WLan configuration is marked
  -Be sure that you use the right WLan encryption and whether encryption is supported by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Check if the standard 802.11 WiFi, B or G is accompanied by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Make sure that the router MAC filtering option has been disabled!

  As you can see all of these options are important to connect to the wireless LAN.

• Cannot access internet sites - Satellite A30-92

  I have a laptop Satellite A30 - 92.

  Suddenly I'm unable to access most of the internet sites. Can I use it fine at high speed and on the LAN, but using the dial up, no.
  I can dial my ISP very well, but it will not download web page. Oddly enough I can get some (but very few sites), but above all no that I looked at the Device Manager and the modem works fine. Looking at the ports I have a ltp printer port, but no com port doesn't appear.

  This could be the cause and how to fix? Thank you.
  I must say I checked the firewall and even turned off.

  Must the connection by modem specific DNS and Proxy settings? Call them and find out.

  If you are using IE, try to disable Protected Mode.

  Or maybe just try another browser such as FireFox.

• 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: Cannot detect internal modem

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30. The internal modem was working fine until a few months ago, when I moved to town. Now my computer can not detect the modem at all. Please help me!

  Hello

  What you can see in the Device Manager? Is there a yellow exclamation?

  Alternatively, you can try to install the modem on this path:
  Control Panel > modems Options and > Modems. If there is no Modem didn't try to install by clicking on the Add button. Follow the instructions in the Add Hardware Wizard.

  If you can again see Modem, check all the settings in the properties of the modem (for example the adjustment wheel) and dialing rules. Is your well configured Dial-up connection (country, area code)?

  Remove the Internet connection and make it again with the Network Setup Wizard. It is very important.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30: Cannot activate WLan miniPCI card

  Have installed Intel Pro 220bg in my Satellite A30. I can't do the wireless to turn on. The switch on the side of the computer does nothing also tried fn + F8. Still nothing happens.

  Hello

  First of all it is very important to know how you installed the WLan card and if it has been installed correctly.
  I remember to connect two cables; white cable by hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage check then Device Manager if the card has been correctly recognized. You can use the driver from the Intel Web site.

  Then everything should work properly.

• Cannot connect by Satellite A30 to WLan

  Hello

  I bought used Satellite A30 for girl - can't get wireless hub.

  Can someone help please with requirements/updates at necessary level for this?

  Man thanks and greetings

  Have you checked if your laptop Satellite A30 was equipped with the LAN card internal minPCI?

  Go to Device Manager and expand network adapters area.
  The wireless network card must be included if it is available.

• Cannot activate the WLan on Satellite A30 card

  I have a satellite A30.
  In the manual, I had with the laptop it says that some models have a built in wireless. My computer has an on/off switch for the wireless, but I was not able to activate it.

  How will I know if this model wireless connection will work.

  I downloaded the drivers of this wireless Web site. After having unpacked the file, I found that there is no installation instructions or an executable file.
  What I do with the unzipped files.

  Just a note, I have a belkin wireless router and my laptop computer A30 wireless for now but I need an adapter big clumsy network plugged into a USB port

  Any help appreciated

  Thanks Mark.

  Hello Mark

  First, you must be sure that your camera comes with the wireless network card. You can check this on two tracks. The first is to check the underside of your laptop. Each camera comes with WLAN card has sticker WLAN. Otherwise you can check the entries in the device under network adapters Manager. If the unit has WLAN card that it will be there.

  As far as I know the WLAN for Satellite A30 card is optional and if the device has no card on board you can buy a compatible or use external as WLAN USB stick cards or PCMCIA WLAN cards.

• Satellite A30-151 PSA33E - cannot install the chipset driver

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A30-151 PSA33E-72KX3-EN.
  I recently Reinstalled Windows XP.

  The chipset driver that I downloaded from the web site, does not work.
  file: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/csutil-20080320162841.zip

  The message is: Intel... requires a platform chipset soustenans running on a supported operating system.

  What should do?

  Hello

  The message appears because;
  (1) the chipset driver is not compatible with the chipset
  (2) or the chipset driver is not compatible with the operating system

  It seems that this point 1) is correct.
  As much as I know Satellite A30-151 PSA33E-72KX3-EN supports the ATI graphics chip. Right?
  My knowledge this old model of laptop Satellite A30 escaped with graphics chip ATI or Intel graphics chip.
  Maybe the chipset driver is only compatible with laptops with an Intel GPU.

  However, you can install a diagnostic tool for material like Everest Home Edition.
  This will show you the chipset of s for laptop and you can download the Intel chipset driver from the Intel page.

  PS: Make sure that Win XP is up to date!

• Satellite A30 CDRW DVDRW (Mat * one) drive cannot recognize any dvd

  Hello!
  I am owner of a Satellite A30-303 with an optical drive MAST * A UJ811 (CD-RW-DVD-RW).
  Everything works perfectly until last week the player ceased to play any DVD. Appears in an error message saying that there is a problem with E/S. CDs are recognized without problems however.
  I tried to find any updated drivers for the DVD driver but I just could not.
  Please someone have an idea of what this might be and how to solve?
  Thank you!!
  Alex

  Hello

  On this path it is always not simply to say what may be the problem. As written littco check if there is some virus or any kind of malware. It is also possible that there is a technical problem and the reader can not calibrate on the right track.

  I put really know what you mean with E/S, but you can try to remove the device from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The last thing you can try is to reinstall the unit using the recovery CD. On this way, the unit will be absolutely clean. If the problem persists, obviously there is a malfunction and the drive needs to be replaced.

  By the way; have the same opinion as littco.

  Good bye
