Satellite A50-512 PSA50E - IDE #0 ERROR

Does'nt SATELLITE SA50-512 it detect any hard drive.

In the bios Acpi V. 1.20, I get the msg. :
I DROVE / 0
BUILT-IN HARD DRIVE
= NO DRIVE
CD = IDE (H 170/IRQ15) SECONDARY
And the msg back. :
ERROR IDE #0

It is NOT hard drive problem, because I have tried 3 other drives from Toshiba with same rpm and CAP and 2 others in the store without a bit of luck. (All drives work perfectly on other laptops

It's a very old Pc and therefor I don't have a recovery cd to make it.

There is no Fdd with Cd bios update failed. (couldn't do diskett Bios setting update file "P0015v140" in the other computer either)
I tried everything I could find on google in addition to 3 weeks without a bit of luck.

So I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem...
Thank you

Hello

The IDE #0 error means that the HARD drive does not recognize that the HARD drive connected to the HARD disk controller.
Usually the HARD drive should be recognized.
If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS then this issue could be related to a defective HARD drive or bad settings master/slave HDD.

Check if there are a few jumpers on the HARD drive that needs to be changed!
In addition, I recommend access the BIOS and to set this back to default settings.

    Hello David

    This error occurs if there is a problem with the CD/DVD drive. For example, this error occurs if you try to use the incompatible reader. It will be interesting to see what happens if the drive is removed.

    You did any player upgrade?

  • Re: Memory limit for Satellite A50 492

    Hello

    I replaced Intel Celeron with Pentium M in my Toshiba Satellite A50 492 (PSA50E-01P02VPL). I did this partly because the manual says there is a limit superior of memory on Pentium (2 GB) than the Celeron (1 GB). Unfortunately mobile still sounds so equipped with more than 1 GB of RAM. Could you please help me how to use 2 GB with this material?

    When I traded the processor I had to program cmos or something to make it possible to run a Pentium M.
    Maybe other programming is necessary for a memory limit?

    I have updated the bios to version 1.40.

    Here are some links:

    The third limit of 1 GB of source States, but they are wrong in saying 512 MB is the maximum memory that can be inserted, cause now that I came across (PC2700, DDR 333 MHz) 1 GB in the first Bank and the second one is empty.

    Hello

    Limitation of the memory depends on the chipset of the motherboard.
    It s containing no software, so nothing will help you increase memory or to break limitation.

    It is also the din mentioned user manual

    Hello

    I'm not sure but I think that the Toshiba DVD r /-RW / RAM (number P000399450) drive must be compatible with the Satellite A50.
    It is also called DVD Super Multi drive, UJ-820BTJ6-A (G8CC0001S210)

    I found it on this page:
    http://www.impactcomputers.com/p000399450.html

    But generally the best way to control the compatible parts and devices is to contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • IDE 1 # error with Panasonic UJ - 820B in PS210E Satellite Pro 2100

    Hello
    I am a newbee on this forum. Can someone help me with the following problem?

    I try to install a Panasonic UJ - 820 B CD/DVD drive in my Toshiba SP2100 Pro PS210E - 003 DM - Satellite of THE.
    It fits perfect, but... my give me bios ide 1 # error. My bios is 1.40 and I can't find an update.
    I can't even find the master/slave switches

    DOE - anyone have a solution for this problem?

    thnx

    What to say? With short words: you try to use ODD not compatible. The assignment of pins is the same and the STRANGE may not be recognized correctly.

    Sorry but I don't have a solution for this laptop more old. Maybe partner allowed in your country can provide you with more information.

    By the way: are looking for a little to this forum. Somewhere I read about bypassing these two pins of connection (something about the PIN 45 and 47). I remember no more.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

    HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
    A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

    Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

    I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

    Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

    THX in advance people.

    Hello James

    IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

    In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

    Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

    Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

  • Satellite A40-SP151 - ide #1 error on non-existent drive.

    OK, I got a laptop Satellite A40-sp151; 3 months ago we sent it to repair and they have damaged the connector of the cd player.
    If we use it without the cd unit.

    It was fine, but yesterday I received an error ide #1, without apparent reason.
    The worst is that said error won't start the computer as it will freeze.

    Hello

    The ide #1 error means that the BIOS does not recognize the device that is connected to the #1 controller.
    Especially the HARD drive is connected to the controller of #0 and the CD/DVD drive is connected to the #1 controller.

    In your case, it seems that the CD/DVD drive is bad and that is why this error.
