• Satellite A30 - where and how to order the recovery disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A30 range and I'm about to install a new hard drive but I don't have the original recovery disk. I told myself I can are no longer met this Toshiba directly so I wonder if someone can direct me looking for a replacement of original or copy.

  I Googled it but it is difficult to sift through to find the exact one I'm looking for.

  Thank you

  Hmm. I thought you can order the recovery CD Toshiba of the ASP in your country but if the series of laptop it is too old it would not be possible.

  However, you can also install the Windows operating system by using the Microsoft CD and then you could install the driver of Toshiba of the Toshiba driver page.
  XP driver should be placed in the box ARCHVE.

• Satellite A30 heats and turns off automatically

  Hello
  I love my computer laptop satellite A30 with part number as PSA30E. Recently, it has developed a problem. the laptop GET closes after a bit of time if connect us the power supply external source.but the work of the laptop very well if the battery is fully charged. It is not warmed up quickly because it works with the external power supply. However I noticed that the machine gets very hot after a short time, then the pc stops automatically. is that someone can help me please...

  Hi stephanie,.

  This soundslike a case of overheating caused by the heat sink of the CPU obstruction with dust and lint sucked up by the cooling fans. You will find this described in the following link:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA35/satellite-A35-fixing-overheating.htm

  You will find that it is easier to use a vacuum cleaner pipe placed on the grids of air intake based on your laptop computer, since it is very effective and doesn't involve any dismantling of you A30.

  Kind regards

  My Satellite A30 suddenly stopped allowing me to 'move or scroll' smooth - all jumps and vibrates when I try to drag.

  Is - my A30 collapse?
  It suddenly stopped allowing me to 'stand by '.
  It is set to 'stand by', then closing the lid-, but it remains lit.
  by clicking on 'Start' and closing - restart and stop buttons are lit and usable - but the position of the button is grayed out and unusable.

  any ideas? hope so.

• Satellite A30 RAM memory upgrade

  Hello.
  I have a question about my Toshiba Satellite A30 memory.
  I want to spend my memory (256 DDR 333 Mhz PC2700 SoDiMM installed chip). If I add to the original 256 MB 512 MB chip the two will work together and is a SoDIMM DDR 512 with a frequency of 400 Mhz compatible with the portable computer and 256 MB chip?
  Thank you

  Hello

  > If I add a 512 MB chip will initially 256 MB, the two work together?

  Yes, the two modules will work together. In this case, you will have 768 MB main memory.

  > is a SoDIMM DDR 512 with a frequency of 400 Mhz compatible with portable computer chip and 256 MB

  It depends on the front side bus (FSB). AFAIK the A30 supports a FSB of 533 Mhz. So the 512MM module should work at full speed to 400 Mhz.

  But note; If the memory 256MM module supports only 333 Mhz, then the fastest 512 MB module will run also with 333 Mhz. The 256 MB module will make the module second, faster more slow.

  Best regards

• Satellite A300 - temperatures and overheating

  Hey there

  I own Toshiba Satellite A300 for a year. Lately, I've noticed overheating.

  Idling, the temperature the lowest I measured using HW Monitor was 60 ° C for the processor, 50 ° C for the GPU, 42 ° C to the HARD drive. When I have several applications open, it amounts to 83 ° C for the processor and 62 ° C for GPU, during execution of system witch is quite slow. Lower part of the housing is very hot same keyboard is hot and she is uncomfortable.

  Any idea where might be a problem? Should I put it in service? Thanks for the replies.

  Andrew

  Hello

  You don't have to send it to an authorized service provider, you need to clean your laptop anytime!

  I have recommended the jet of compressed air. Blow gently and shortly the depression of the air holes of the case of the machine where the hollow air flows. This could eliminate the dust from the cooling fans.
  This procedure should be done every 3-4 months to ensure reliable operation and avoid the mistakes of the system.

  I've always used compressed air jet and I never had problems yet.

• Satellite A210-19Y and overheating

  Hello!

  I had a problem with my Satellite A210 overheating for about 4 hours after I bought it. Of course, I went straight up to the place where I bought it, but they just said it was a problem laptop normal when having an AMD processor and advised that I bought an external cooler. However, the thing is that my previous 3 laptops had all AMD processors, and each of them are always works very well, even if they are aged 3 to 7 years and none of them are overheating, even if I let them run very long (like 24 hours +).

  So my question is, is it really true, I want to buy an external cooler to be able to actually use my laptop? Should not be able to run without needing "help"? Furthermore, I use only my numere on flat tables respectively to school and my home office.

  Sorry if my English is hard to understand, it isn't my mother tongue ;)

  P.S. I installed PC-Wizard to check the temperature, and 3 minutes after the start, he spends 60 ^ o ^ C and stays on that, even if the cooler is running like crazy.

  You should not need an external cooler, laptop is designed to work properly with its factory specifications.

  You should try this:

  (1) an update of the BIOS. Go to the Toshiba website and download the latest version of the BIOS.
  (2) check the dust in the radiator. You can blow off the dust with a can of compressed air

• Upgrade of RAM for Satellite A30 213

  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.

• Satellite A30 - 203 - recovery disk does not work

  Hi all

  I have an old Satellite A30-203 and have a problem. I tried to format my laptop but the product recovery cd does not seem to work in deletion the data on my disk, its becomes blocked during loading files of ntfs? Now I am not able to retrieve a windows session would I need a new product recovery cd and would be able to get it?

  Thank you

  Hi dimation,

  It is difficult to say what is the reason of this but made is either it s a laptop problem itself or the recovery disc (e.g. scratches) causes this problem.

  In my opinion the best way to check this using a Microsoft Windows disk. If the installation completed successfully, you need a new recovery disk. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country! :)

• Satellite A30: Card sound & Chipset driver problem.

  Hi all
  I'm about to get REALLY crazy! I would really appreciate if someone can help me...

  My story is:
  I lost all my CD recovery & pilot who gave me in 2004. But I had to format my pc this weekend due to many reasons of system (bugs, unable to connect to the net, etc.).
  My first step was to Toshiba site, I downloaded all kinds of drivers for Satellite A30. And I had XP Professional SP2 from my friend and installed it. But after completing all the facilities below is the result:

  (1) NO. SOUND :(

  2 points to mark on the 2 points that are a) multimedia sound controller and b) PCI Modem in Device Manager / other devices.

  (3) Chipset installation error message: Chipset Intel (r) utility installation requires platform chipsets supported by the supported operating system. Read the section of the system requirements in the Readme.txt for more information.
  So far I checked the forums my chipset has not been installed correctly, but when I try yo install the Intel chipset 895PE (csutil-sa30-xp - 5011015.zip) I downloaded download address http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, it gives the error message and some people says to install the drivers in good order as, first install XP with SP1, and then install utilitt chipset, and then install SP2 etc... But it seems not to be easy for me...

  Really, I can repeat my FORMAT again, but in what order process...
  Thank you...

  Hello

  Just to inform that my problem has been resolved in itself :)
  I reformatted my laptop and installed new computer the original XP Pro SP2 by following the instructions.

  His problem was solved automatically, no installation utility chipset required...
  The noise problem was probably caused by lack of update Microsoft KB835221 for SP1 and KB888111 for SP2, which then was resolved with the XP of more recent origin...
