• Satellite A45-S150 - black screen after the recovery process

  After problems with a virus, I ran the recovery disk and reformat the hard drive and reloaded the OS. When the process pushes me to remove the disc, it begins to restart, but only shows a black screen. I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.

  The laptop came loaded with XP, but that the recovery Application is running, it says it is loading Windows 98. Could the original recovery disc was loaded with the wrong operating system?

  What's next?

  Hey,.

  > I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.
  You can install Windows using a normal Microsoft Windows disk?
  So, you can check if the problem is related to the computer laptop or recovery disk itself.

  > it says that it is loading Windows 98
  Don t worry not about this message. As far as I know it has something to do with the software that allows you to copy the recovery image on your HARD drive. Recovery disk still contains Windows XP ;)

• Satellite A45-S150 starts windows - safe mode is not possible

  My machine locked upward and when restarted, that asked me to make a selection among several options. Safe mode, safe mode network, prompt mode without failure, recent well known parameters and then just windows. It starts windows in these modes. Any help would be appreciated.

  Brad

  What to say Brad. It seems the full Windows XP operating system has crashed!
  Believe me, something like what is happening simply and I think that it s nothing unusual to anyone who use and works with Windows OS for a long time.

  You should definitely try to reinstall the OS from the Toshiba restore CD.
  But this procedure will format your HARD drive and you will lose all files stored on the HARD drive.

  But this is only one possibility to get Windows running on this laptop.

  Check it out buddy!

• Satellite A45: need to update firmware on DVR K12D drive

  Hello...
  IM new here... Well, I have a toshiba > Satellite A45 Series... which had a DVD Multi Drive (DVR K12D) inside. The problem is that his operation stopped. Sometimes she would write a CD then sometimes it spoils my CD. I used on the media player were Verbatin, Imation, Supermedium, Sony.

  Well the reader works as a very short period and then dies OFF... every time I took it to the repair center...

  The drive has been changed now 4times by toshiba support. I asked for the release of Firmware from 1.05 to 1.15 or higher. They keep answering back telling me to ask pioneer. But it is an OEM obvious by toshiba.

  The player after having been changed stops working without delay of 2 to 3 months max 4 months time and den customer tried upgrading the drive by putting a higher config recorder multi disc double tht is the 8 GB one. The satellite detects that hardware.

  been 2 years now my readers send me problems such as:

  does not read DVD
  doeant read CD RW
  don't write CD/DVDs
  sometimes DVD detects any sometimes they detect its weird.

  The only solution is to update the firmware, but how can I do? I need the update of the firmware. I called toshiba WE also, they talked for two hours and then answer that I have to contact pioneer!

  Please help me!

  Hello

  CD/DVD players support generally not all means.
  As far as I know in the manual you will find a list of the CDs and DVDs is supported and it works properly.

  In addition, it seems that this device was designed for an American market and in this case, you should look at the Toshiba Site us.

  I checked this American site:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

  There, I found several notebooks A45 and the necessary drivers. I also found a driver for DVD rom and ram. It s not a firmware update but maybe it helps.

  However, on Toshiba Europe site, I found several updates firmware for the readers and the different European books but as I said at the beginning you have a US laptop and have to look on the American website. If you don't get an update of the firmaware if you ask the manufacturing of the car.

  In addition, I want to say that you can not be sure that, after updating the firmware of the player will not work correctly. This kind of malfunction looks like a defect of lens calibration and therefore only a replacement disc can solve this problem.
  If the drive has been replaced several times so I guess that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new.

• Audio driver for Satellite A45 Pro

  I tried to check on the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp driver download page

  But I couldn't find the exact model for Satellite A45 Pro. So I tried to use the driver for Satellite Pro A40. I tried to install the downloaded driver, but it does not work. I was able to use the other driver, as for video, modem, etc. It is only the sound that has a problem. Does anyone know where you can download this driver? The exact model of the laptop is PSA45E - 0016T - from THE.

  Hello Carlo,.

  Satellite A45 was available primarily on the U.S. market and the support and download details is accessible directly from the Toshiba web site us.

  Several different models of the A45 are listed, but curiously they appear under the Satellite don't position not the satellite Pro.

  The American web site addressing:-http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cgrp.to?coid=-26367&ccid=1291021&rcid=-26367&seg=HHO

• Satellite A45 - the CPU usage is high and slow applications

  Hi all

  I'm trying to debug a hardware problem on my Toshiba Satellite A45. I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.

  THE PROBLEM: The CPU usage is high and applications slowly to a crawl after using an intensive application of memory for a few minutes, i.e. to watch a video or a game. Basically, anything that could use the screen much. If instead, I work only from a prompt, even when the application could do a lot of work, I do not encounter this problem. After stopping all applications, the CPU usage is always higher than normal (90% idle, should normally be slowed down to about 99%).

  Xorg now typically showing about 6% (normally use< 2%).="" if="" i="" at="" any="" time="" after="" this="" try="" to="" work="" in="" any="" application,="" usage="" is="" still="" bogged="" down.="" only="" a="" reset="" gets="" me="" back="" to="">

  Note: My system has always worked very well and I did not made the installation of the software or changes when it started to happen.
  However, the laptop is a 800 miles round trip at the rear of the car in a padded bag.

  DEBUG: This doesn't seem to be the RAM that I replaced the RAM and reinstall the RAM, and the problem persists. This doesn't seem to be the hard drive that I can try to run it from a Live CD (without use of HARD drive) and yet everything slows to a crawl.

  HELP: I don't know how to debug from here.
  I don't have extra pieces of hardware to make swaps.

  Any ideas more how to debug this?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > I am running Ubuntu 10.04, but I don't think that it's operating system or related software.
  It s interesting why you think that this may be software related issue

  I think that it is a typical software problem because the RAM and the HARD drive has been verified you have reported this in the message

  So what to say maybe some virus or malware likely to obstruct the CPU and the memory usage
  Or there is some process in the background that are not properly

  I recommend you to reinstall the Windows operating system or another distribution of Linux that runs NO Live CD, but which is installed on the HARD drive
  I m sure that s kind of the process that is disabled and crashes somewhere in the background

• Satellite A45-S121 unable to connect to "pull the IP Address of my wireless network.

  I try to get a Satellite A45-S121 connected to my or any public wireless network. I used several different wireless Pcmcia cards, but cannot access the Internet. All of the cards work in other portable and can connect to public wifi, but once again not this one. It shows that I am connected but I never get an IP 0.0.0.0

  It detects the Networks to connect then, but in a few minutes, she falls and rediscovered them. I did an ipconfig/release and / renew but still will not pump an IP address. I tried public wifi spots and private WEB connections but no work. Shows Device Manager all three cards work works very well.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Dave

  I fear that some router configurations will not. I recommend you contact your ISP and verify with them all the settings of the router.

  The same problem was one of my friends. There must be something wrong with the settings of the router.
  Have you ever talked with ISP?

• Satellite A45-S120 - SYSTEM32 error (CORRUPT FILE)

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-S120. I had to replace the hard drive once before because of the same error.
  When I try to turn on the putter i get-

  Lack damaged file system32\drivers\pci.sys on my screen. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

  I bought another hard drive, but when I put it in I -.

  Hello

  This error appears especially if some or all of the system files are damaged.
  Usually the new OS reinstall should solve this problem.
  Use the recovery disk to reinstall the operating system.

  But many people have reported that this could occur due to hardware failure; Modules of RAM or HARD drive may be disrupted.

  PXE - e61:media test check cable error message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN. This is especially the case if the LAN boot option has been set to the first position in the BIOS or if the HARD disk is not available or not recognized.

  In your case, it could be a new drive HARD does not appear in the BIOS, which is not recognized.

• Satellite A45-SP270 - how boot from LAN?

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite A45-SP270 and I want to install Windows XP, but the CD player does not work and I don't have floppy drive (boot USB is not available) so the only remaining option is using the LAN option, but I don't know how to use it. There is a tutorial to use the LAN Boot or another option to install XP?

  Hello

  The installation of LAN is very delicate.
  You will need to configure a RIS (remote installation of the server).
  Microsoft 2000 and more recent Server edition support this option, but I doubt you'll have obtained these BONES

  The simplest solution would be to put the folder i386 (placed on the Win XP CD) HARD disk, and then start the winnt.exe which is placed in this folder.
  This will start the installation of windows XP.

• I need a new CD Player for my Satellite A45-S120

  I need a new CD Player for my Satellite A45 S120. Is possible to use TEAC "CD-220EA"? (I don, t speak English)

  CD/DVD drive replacement is a little tricky due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  If you use a non compatible drive the BIOS does not recognize the device and youw he get an IDE error message #1.
  Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful information this disc may be compatible with your laptop.

  I found the compatible reader preinstalled on my laptop user manual.
  I put t know if the manual would provide you this information, but you should check it out.

  If you will not find any information on taken readers in charge then contact ASP in your country and ask for a CD/DVD burner made in charge.

  Good luck and greetings

• Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

  Hello.

  I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

  But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

  I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  From your description, I assume FL converter is defective and must be replaced. FL inverter is responsible for the background light and the typical symptom for faulty FL inverter is dimming or blinking display.

• Replacement HARD drive & optical drive to Satellite A45-S1202

  Can someone point me to a reader of alternative alternatives other than the CMS (100-250 GB) 5400 RPM 2.5 PATA laptop universal Hard Drives?

  Can I buy from another manufacturer... If so, what readers are recommended?
  I would like more that what came with this particular computer (60 GB), but the price of replacement of Toshiba seems quite steep.

  In addition, the A45-S1202 came with a DVD player / CD - RW. drive.

  Does anyone know of a replacement drive DVDrw/CDrw (DVD burner) that works with this model?

  Any & all help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello!

  You can buy a larger HARD drive, it's not a problem.
  Satellite A45 unknown to me but I think the bigger HARD disk should be 120 GB because the laptop has an IDE interface and the standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not recognized.
  So you need a 2.5 HARD disk and 120 GB max.

  I think you also to exchange the drive for a DVD burner, but if you want a new contact a local ASP. They can offer these discs.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10-304 - update Windows 7 problem

  I have a Satellite P10 304 to 2003 which has Windows XP, but I need to update for obvious reasons. I bought a copy of Windows 7 (32 bit) and installed without any installation problem, however I can't update Windows.

  I reinstalled, deleted the hard drive and reinstalled again. Tried the stop and start the Windows Update utility.
  Downloaded the stand-alone Windows Update.

  Updated the BIOS to V2.0 and downloaded the Toshiba Service Station application (who says no update is necessary).
  All this without success.

  My hopes were raised when I saw that the Station Service for Windows 7 32 bit software was available for the P10 304 but I am now at a loss.

  Anyone know if this laptop can be upgraded to Windows 7 and how to get updates of work?

  Help is welcome.

  Peter

  I'm sure that installation of Windows 7 update problems are not specific to Toshiba problems even if you use the Toshiba laptop.

  From my point of few, you should check the Microsoft support pages to find the solution.
  For example this:
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=Windows-7

  Just a tip: I had some problems in the past to install updates because of the antirust software. He locked the installation of some essential updates and after you disable temporal, updates could be installed...
  Missing Service Packs might concern the single installation of patches.

  Hello

  Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
  However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

  The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
  Maybe you about success.
