• Satellite A30 303: Question on replacement of the CPU

  Hi all

  I recently tried to clean the dust from my laptop.
  I removed the cpu and trying to put it back in the place I folded one of the pins. Now, I tried to draw on the pins but have no chance that the laptop shows just a white screen.

  Is there someone who can fix bent pins?

  Also where can I get a replacement CPU attached to a radiator of? I'm after a 3.06 GHz intel pentium 4

  Hello

  It is a very stupid situation. It seems you have damage the CPU!
  Usually, this occurs if users have no experience and try to remove and to correct some things that should be done by a technician.

  Impossible to fix the CPU damage only the replacement could help.

  > but have no luck as the laptop shows just a white screen.
  > Is there anyone who can fix bent pins?

  As you say that you tried to start Notepad. How did insert the processor on the motherboard if the pins are bent?

  Regarding your question about the replacement of the CPU; the replacement of the CPU is not advisable on laptops and not easy. Especially the microcode and DMI must be updated after the replacement of the CPU and the motherboard. Without these updates, the CPU on the 600 MHz or the laptop overheating or primer will not work!

  > Also where could I get a replacement CPU attached to a radiator of? I'm after a 3.06 GHz intel pentium 4

  If you want to know what s CPU could be compatible, please check your type of chipset used on this laptop and check the specifications of the Intel page!

  Finally, I would recommend asking a technician a laptop get the laptop working again.

  Good luck

• Dialup modem satellite A30-203 questions

  I have a 203 SA30 about 3½ years on which the built in V90 modem failed 2 years ago. I use it now and again for internet dial-up when I go to the USA on vacation and since then, I have been using a PCMCIA modem.

  I tried some of the solutions previously listed on this forum without success and thought I'd try the recovery disks provided with the machine.

  My question is what are the traps to achieve as a limited Rémy PC. I am fully aware that I have to back up all my files and re-install programs and disks will take me back to its original state.

  I will also have to sit for a few hours, get updates (including service pack 2).
  I fear, however, that this can take a few unexpected problems that I can't manage and end up with a useless machine. Is it a matter of just follow the instructions on the screen?

  Shows Device Manager all is well with the modem and it is listed as a Toshiba Software modem by Agere (PCI Bus 0, device 31, function 6) and the pilot is the last 'available. '

  Can anyone help please?

  Hi Ben,

  Don't be too worried to reinstall your OS recovery CD. As you have already said, you will need to back up your own files first and then re - install extra software once the recovery of the operating system is complete.

  If you use Microsoft Update, and then the required updates will be loaded in the correct order and you will be asked to restart from time to time.

  It is very important that following the recovery process, you install and configure your antivirus product before connect you to the internet for the first time and you also need to update the virus database. The technique for this will depend on which anti-virus product you are using.

  Good luck

• Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

  After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

  Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

  The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

  Hello

  Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

• Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

  Hi all

  My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

  I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

  I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

  Kind regards
  Nova

  Hello

  Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

  If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
  Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

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

  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 - question about the CPU temperature

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

  My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

  I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

  I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

  The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

• Satellite A30 does not start with the USB device connected at boot time

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A30 and sometimes it does not start.
  After turning on, not even the BIOS starts.
  even if sometimes the BIOS starts, but the OS does not load.

  I figured out that its related to USB devices connected at boot time.
  If no USB devices are connected, it starts without a problem.
  Even if the start-up is suspended, as soon as you unplug start it BIOS USB devices.
  Its ok to connect USB devices later, once the system has started.
  I disabled "removable devices boot" and "network startup."
  just in case, but it makes no difference.

  BIOS is version the most recent (1.70) and it comes up with all kinds of USB devices.
  printer, mouse and (self-powered) external USB hard disk.

  Is this a known issue?
  There is no known workaround solution?

  Hello

  I put t know why this happens, but it has to do with the BIOS.
  The same thing happened on my old laptop. I couldn't start my unit while the USB printer has been turned on and connected.
  The only solution is to disconnect the external USB device during the boot process.

  RSY you should check if the order of boot in the BIOS has been on the HARD drive first.

• Questions of Touchpad on Satellite A30

  Hi all

  Recently, I sent my Satellite A30 for repairs because the touchpad is dead. Since I had 'fix', his erratic behavior. Sometimes, I lost all the horizontal movement, with only the operation of the vertical direction. Sometimes during a windows session, I lose the feature full touchpad (including the left/right button).

  I also noticed that a fresh windows session allows me to use scrolling (side of the touchpad) and also rear ease in web browsers. However, after a few moments, windows stopss recognizing the scroll and the b/f gestures (even if the touchpad in my tray icon highlights the fact that I use).

  I've updated my ALPS drivers to the latest version, but that didn't fix it.

  I'm guessing that it's a software issue and not a hardware fault as a reboot solves these problems temporarily. I don't know if there is a hardware problem that confuses the software. I have no idea.

  If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this before, please let me know as it's more boring.

  See you soon,.

  Jason

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why this touchpad problem.
  Questions sometimes very strange occur due to overheating. I noticed that if the temperature goes down to the critical level of the operating system stops, the laptop crashes or many strange issues occurs as a malfunction of the touchpad. In your case, I recommend that you check the cooling modules and try to use the vacuum cleaner for cleaning. Maybe it helps.

  The second possibility is that the touchpad has a malfunction. You know, it has been replaced in the past and it is possible that there is something wrong with the hardware.
  You can contact Toshiba service partner and explain the situation after the replacement of touchpad.

  Good luck

• Questions about various issues on a Satellite A30

  OK, for starters, I don't know much about computers without talking about laptops, but my husband is "generally" with them, but now that we have major problems.

  I have a Satellite A30 (not sure if he's a pro, because it does not mention it in the manual and Stephen is about to have a heart attack right now, and is not on the laptop so impossible to verify the BIOS).

  Anyway. Problems began some time, in fact not long ago after that missed warranty. I bought it used and I loved it when I got it.

  Ok
  Problem 1. -Overheating, we finally solved by it own every now and then, problem solved.

  Problem 2. -USB 2.0. Some things work some don't. My Nikon camera does not work via USB but my Lumix made. My mobile struggles. Just buy a card reader, worked on the laptop of Stephen, but not the A30. Dongle Bluetooth does not work. All these elements, used to work.

  Problem 3. -I can put my processor speed 1.6 GHz or 3.06 GHz. overheated really easily on 3.06 and tends to slow down and seems to be faster at 1, 6 GHz and not overheating on 1.6 end so keep on that. Although the pain. Even with extra under cooler portable computer fan base.

  Problem 4. -Not that I'm an expert, but I think that my diet is missing. I still have my laptop plugged in about 90% of the time. I put the laptop on and it will use the power adapter for a while then goes on battery power. If the power adapter that was what it was, not the battery. Then when the battery reaches the end of its power, it's just going and I have to wait until she sees again until I can turn it back on. I find this very annoying.

  PROBLEM 5. -As 2 days ago, there have been totally and absolutely kaput. Don't even connect. It also goes further than Windows XP start then an error message saying something about a lack. DLL file. Stephen said he has sorted that but has not solved the problem. We decided that it was only a hard drive problem so bought an external for she and Stephen case after 2 days managed to download everything from the laptop HARD drive. It's a 40gig HARD drive. Some files have been deformed and had to be removed so the thinking that was the problem so went out to buy a new but went for a 120gig. Formatted Stephen on his laptop and then went to transfer my A30 but the same problems. Now I wonder if 120Gig is too much. At the mo Stephen takes on his HARD drive to put in mine and vice versa. His laptop he's grateful as a 120GHz, but according to him, my BIOS is not very clear and does not tell you anything about it. As I said I know nothing about computers. I'm really clutching at straws here. Stephen was brought up on computers, but is more used for desktop computers and we decided to sell our laptops and buy a desk to update high spec but I doubt that I would get a lot of money now for my A30 if it does not work.

  Any ideas would be useful to roll again.

  Sorry for this thread may be so long but well that Stephen will not admit to it, he really needs help and I can try and give information, you help us.

  BTW, I read in my manual that it can take up to 80Gig HARD drive but more important in the future, so we thought it would be nice with 120 now because they are available if this is any help to you.

  Hello

  you have always guaranteed on this machine? If yes then TOMORROW bring to an authorized service partner.

  Why? The problem is that this machine has a Pentium 4 that gets really hot, and if the cooling system is clobbed with dust, then cooling paste which transfers heat between the cpu and the cooling module dries and it cannot transfer heat with precision to the cooling module copper.

  I suggest to go to a technician and advises him to exchange the cooling paste, really, it will trigger the stability of your system.

  Believe me. :)

  The other thing with USB is: sometimes there is not enough power in the system and I guess that the problem is on the AC adapter. Buy a new adapter sector and you probably won´t have stability problems, USB and much more. I can't say for sure, but I solved a problem with a 2430 Satellite I've had and that's quite the same model like yours, it has just a few other colors, but the pattern is the same.

  I had this problem of heat and I solved it by exchanging cooling paste, but then the machine was no more warranty, and I am somewhat familiar with computers.

  I had problems with my AC too, but my mistake was another because he mades some noise and after a while, it stops working. Now, that system did not work properly and after exchanging the AC everything was good again.

  With regard to the HARD drive: I can't talk about something because I use just a 60 GB drive. You'll find it probably our yourself or an experienced user here in the forum might help you.

  I wish you good luck with your machine and a good weekend

• Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

  Good afternoon

  Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

  Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

  Kind regards

  Dave Smith

  Hello Dave

  I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

• 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.

• Question about card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

  Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

  I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

  Null value

  Hello

  It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
  It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

  But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
  You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

  Hope I could help a little.

  Good bye
