satellite A30: infrared

I have a satellite A30 and sideways left there is a button that toggles some sort of link, I assumed it was the infrared. However, it does not work. The infrared network adapter does not appear in the Device Manager usless that I choose to show hidden devices. Does that mean I have it or not? !! And if I do, how do I get it working

HI, Ann Marie,.

the button on the left side to LAN wireless if your laptop has a built-in wireless network card in!

As much as I know the Satellite A30 series has no infrared port! But to consider that you should put the full model name sort would present the couls infrared forum is available!

The name of the full model is on the lower side and looks like Satellite A30 - xxx

Bye and Merry Christmas

  • 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

  • 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
    Halin

    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 product recovery CD

    I need to restore the HD of Satellite A30 of my boy.
    He gave me that one DVD 'product Recovery DVD-ROM'
    He is also says "2/2", which I suppose that it is disk 2 of 2.

    This DVD is not bootable. so I guess there could be a disk of 1/2 which is bootable and contains the basic recovery program.

    My question: am reason above supported and if yes, where can we get the first DVD, since my boy seems to have lost it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Peter

    Hello

    You are right! There must be a n ° 1/2 recovery DVDs!

    If you (or your son) have lost it, you can order a new one for every Service Toshiba partner. You only have to sign a solemn declaration for MS that you have lost the CD!

    To http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the support & downloads you will find a list of partners of Service Toshiba!

    The modem uses a virtual com port. It s not a real port.
    I wonder why it usually happens after the installation of the new operating system, you must install drivers Toshiba together in the right order
    Installing the chipset utility is important

    The modem driver should do the work and you n t need to activate com ports
    Please choose the right side of the page of the Toshiba driver modem driver after installing the OS correctly. I think that's the key

  • Upgrade of RAM for Satellite A30 213

    After buying my satellite second hand I immediately found why it was for sale, the dreaded overheating.
    I cleaned the fans with compressed air and it worked fine, then my error fatal, flushed with success, I bought the RAM online and installed. It was recgonised by the system and I thought all was well until it has proved defective and crashed my operating system, no recovery was possible.

    An operating system later new XP (and £50 poorer), I'm ready to have another go, but I can't open the user manual on the Toshiba site.

    I want to get right to the RAM of a reputable suplier, but the specifications I have indicates only DDR RAM, does anyone know the full specification (pins etc) because I don't want to lose it all again?

    Hello

    Have a look here:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7249&ft=m&St=3

    You need the PC2100 200 pin SODIMM (266 MHz) DDR modules.
    You can upgrade the Satellite A30 Ram up to 2 GB. This means that you can use the 2 x 1 GB module.

    I had a good experience using modules from Kingston.

  • Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

    I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

    What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

    Hello Jodie

    I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
    I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

    In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.

    Hello

    your Satellite A30 - 151 built in a softwaremodem with an Askey chipset (Agere).

    I think the solution is to re-download the modem driver and test.

    Go to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/

    and click on Download & Driver.

    After downloading, you will need to unzip the file and start the installation. Another way to install the driver is the .inf. file, go to the Control Panel, system, hardware and Device Manager. Then go into the question mark that is the modem, and tell the driver. Here you have to choose to do it manually and when the wizard you asks to search for the file, go to the folder driver and click the file inf. complete the wizard and the pilot should work

  • With Satellite A30 power problems

    Hello

    Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

    Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

    These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

    Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

    Thank you

    Ben

    Hi mate,

    had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
    But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

    I guess that the motherboard is gone...

    That's all

    See you soon

  • New CD/DVD drive is not properly recognized on Satellite A30

    Hi all

    I just bought a new CD-RW/dvd-r for my Satellite A30 disk drive, and it does not recognize the new drive. It is certainly compatible (the player itself is the SD-R2412), but when I go to 'my computer' there is no cd drive it at all.

    I have the feeling that it could be something to do with the code of the device in Device Manager, but I don't know how to change, what is the new number, or even what to do.

    Can someone help me? -Is it something to do with the Device Manager, drivers or something else?

    Thank you, Jon

    Edit: I noticed there are a few other people with the same problem - but it is a different cause. For most people than what happens when the software is installed, and when they enter the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point.

    However - this is not the case for me. This is a new piece of hardware, and there is no yellow triangle in my device manager. I think it's the wrong device i.d. as I changed the drive itself - but do not know how to go for the implementation, so that the computer makes this new record

  • Audio driver and modem for Satellite A30 151

    I've updated my Toshiba with Windows XP PRO/SP2 laptop.
    After installing I found that Windows XP/sp2 is not installed the modem and audio devices.

    I tried to download the drivers from the site and tried to install. I got the error message saying driver software is incompatible with the version of the operating system service pack.

    I watched on the web and found that there is no driver for Windows XP/sp2 version.

    I tried both ways of performing the installation of the driver software and trying to install using the inf file.

    At the same time in vain. It is hard to believe that there is no resolution to this problem. I deal I forgot this site to have the right to files already lying in the site for Windows XP/SP2. Could someone send me the url of the software driver for the modem and Audio controllers for my system (Satellite A30 151) under Windows XP/SP2.

    Thanks in advance for all the help and your time
