• Very low noise of satellite A75-S211

  Just installed fresh Win XP Pro SP2 integrated. Support Web site of the downloaded drivers for this version of Toshiba laptop. All recognized devices, driver installed and no conflict. But...
  ... sound is very very very LOW! I can hear only if I put the the volume slider to the top and put my ear to the speaker. I downloaded from www.realtek.com.tw updated AC 97 driver version and the problem persists (no driver installation using setup.exe but pointing to the .inf file in the extracted folder of WDM of downloaded the driver file - I'm not fan of SW resident installed by setup.exe with driver).
  I found a few posts here about problems with audio in XP SP2. It seems a common problem for Toshiba laptops in the case of XP SP2 :-(

  Hello

  There are many different opinions on the installation of SP2. I have two units with SP2 and I there is no problems.

  I did not try to install Windows XP Home SP2 integrated edition. I installed additional SP2 and it works very well.

  AFAIK the A75 is American machine. Please visit this link

• Heat and a very slow Satellite A75-S211

  I read on a post above that the air vents on the laptops can become dusty, so I vacumed both on the computer of my girlfriend (who is the computer problem here).

  Fans were executed at the top almost constantly for some time. I managed to remove three large dust balls (had to pick them across the screens). This does wonders for the fan speed that seem normal now, and I guess that heat is better, even if I haven't used the computer much more before.

  I downloaded a utility that I learned on another forum and determined that the processor was working about 40 degrees C, 104 F. I think it's maximum recommended, but I'm not sure. My questions are this (assuming the heat problem is, essentially, cured):

  is there a reduced efficiency as the computer takes to guard against overheating of the processor (I'm sure there is) and should be turned "off" once the temperature problem is solved (particularly if the question was for a long time)?

  are there programs diagnosis out there that can tell me if the processor is damaged by heat or any other cause?

  Thank you

  Hi Larry,

  Assuming you are using the Toshiba Power Management utility rather than the version of Microsoft then your laptop will usually follow a behavioral feature if the CPU is too hot.

  In general, as you have already discovered, fans will increase in speed and frequency until they work at top speed for most of the time (assuming that the power management utility is set for maximum performance). If the CPU is always too hot then the laptop is finally off himself in order to avoid any damage. However it is likely that the CPU you will get even hotter since turning off also stops the cooling fans.

  The Toshiba power management utility can also be set to change this behavior by slowing down the CPU in order to keep more expenses and thus reduce the noise caused by the cooling fans.

  After a reboot, the power management utility must return to its designated frame, which will be all you had set it initially.

  The thermal switch that controls the auto standby except in case of overheating of the CPU should have quite a high cost to ensure that the processor is not damaged.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A75-S211 is very slow

  I've been to a malware expert forum and posted Hijack this logs and this machine is more than likely own. Awhile back, we had to replace the modem due to problems of dispersal of heat (so they said) and I fear that the thing is about to fry itself now. There there, diagnostics that I can use? I've defragged and there about 79% free disk space and it is clean. Help.

  Hi Larry

  Different are many different booklets a series and it will be interesting to know than the one you have. For example I have Satellite A100 and it works fine.

  If the slow functioning of mobile I think it's mainly because of the user himself and if you have enough PC experience I'm sure you know very well what you need to do to make it faster. ;)

• Contact cannot install and launch the Satellite A75-S211

  I've recently upgraded the OS on my laptop windows XP Home Edition to professional edition, how ever after the upgrade, I am not able to use the scroll on my touch pad function.

  I removed the program and then try to reinstall the touch and the launch, but he keeps telling me that the installation failed because this software is only for PC Toshiba.

  If one can offer any help it will be greatly appreciated.

  If this isn't the case, then you already have a good answer.

• Satellite A75 laptop cannot read a SD 2 GB card

  I have no problem reading and transfer of files of my 512 MB SD card, but when I insert my 2 GB card, the computer will not read the card. He shows up as a drive in the Manager for devices with no error message, but does not as a drive in Explorer, and I can't seem to be recognized by all programs that automatically detects and read SD cards. When I try to go to the direction of the car to see what it says, the module hangs and does not come to the top with my records until I remove the SD card. Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a computer problem or a card problem and is there a solution.

  Thanks for any help.

  I think that it is a driver problem. This laptop is quite old and it occasionally 2 GB SD cards were not available on the market. So now you have a problem.
  What you can try is to install the driver of some newer model laptop SD card reader. Of course, not the more recent but just the model produced after Satellite A75. Perhaps Satellite A85.

  Hi people

  I have a Toshiba satellite A75 - s209
  With: 3.06 GHz, 768 MB Ram DDR. ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP...

  I just bougth (Test Drive Unlimited) a game, it needs 256 MB to grafik.

  Hello

  According to the Toshiba site we the notebooks graphics card supports up to 128 MB shared memory.

  Unfortunately, it seems that you cannot increase the amount of memory. Buddy is not possible, it s a simple hardware limitation!

• Satellite A75 impromptu turning-off (Help!)

  Hello!
  Well, I own a Toshiba Satellite A75-S2112 old of almost 4 months.
  I bought in the States and moved to Germany, to go to College. So the thing is, my laptop started to turn self about 1 half a month... at this time, was not on a regular basis and well, I decided to ignore it, because it seems to have stopped once I turned off and leave my computer laptop "rest."

  But since 2 days ago, the problem is really big. It will be just off; just like that. I thought it might be a horse of Troy, a virus or something, but it is even off the power during Windows startup - just by displaying the "Microsoft Windows XP" logo.

  So, what guys do you think it could be? And can it be resolved? It will be as a replacement for laptop, or it'll just be fixed? If Yes, what should I do and where should I apply / send it in Germany?

  I'm really worried, because I'm in a foreign country, and I don't know how to get it fixed here. And my laptop is essential during my course of study :(

  I have the same time, I'll try to save all my info.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this!

  Best regards

  Hi Pierre,.

  After reading the description of your problem, my first thought is that your laptop is overheating. A thermal trigger will work if it detects that the CPU is not too hot. This will cause the cell to lose power instantly, i.e. no controlled stop.

  I would recommend to clear any dust and accumulated debris from the heatsink to the CPU. Given that your unit is still under warranty, I will try to use a vacuum to suck up dust out through the suction fan grids. There are a lot of threads about this problem on this forum.

  If this not solves your problem, do not try to disassemble the radiator yourself, as this would negate your warranty.

  You can find your nearest Toshiba approved repairman since Toshiba Germany website:

  Finally, make sure that your laptop is always placed so that sufficient air can get into the ventilation system. Indeed, don't put it on your lap or on a soft surface (carpet or upholstery).

  Good luck

• Starting problem with a Satellite A75-S226

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A75-S226, recently bought application

  My problem is that whenever the computer cover is closed, it I cannot restore the operating system. So, I have to turn off the computer and try to start again. This is where the problem occurs when I try to start, the fan will start briefly then turns off, the screen remains black and there is no sound, the pulp and power lights are on and green and the circle around the power button is blue. I can't open the CD player or get no response from keyboard and mouse.

  The same thing happens when I am on battery. This problem occurs frequently and sometimes can be solved in constant reset, however, at times it will not work.

  Help would be appreciated.

  Hello
  did you install additional software on your laptop?
  For example Antivirus Tools, system monitoring tools, firewalls?

  Good bye

• Where to find recovery for Satellite A75-S112 discs

  Hello

  I lost my restore disk in my laptop Toshiba A75-S112, with serial number 45236406K.
  I'm having the hardest time to get a new copy. I contacted the service centers in my area, but they were no help, as they claim that they are not and can not have or sell the recovery disks.

  Yet, they can recover my machine for me. I can recover my machine on mine, I just need the disc. I contacted Toshiba support by phone and received a file number to help me in my quest to get the recovery disk, but I was told no what to do or where to go with the file number. The file number is 1-788-803-502.

  I'd appreciate any help on my current situation.

  It's very strange because each maintainer authorized Toshiba should be able to order the recovery CD.
  Satellite A75-S112 is designed for the American market.
  This is perhaps a reason why the ASP cannot get this recovery for you CD.

  Here is a link to all the Toshiba of ASP.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT

  I put t know if it is possible, but maybe you have to contact an ASP in the United States for compatible recovery CD!

  However, if you have an original Microsoft Windows CD so that you could install the OS from this CD and then you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba of Toshiba page we.

• Satellite A75-5211 just turns off

  Hi, I had this problem in the past once and he's back now. My computer is a Satellite A75-5211. When I play any game on it (like MVP Baseball 2005), at some point the computer just turns off without any warning. It's as if all the power is just part of him! I can start again, and then everything is normal.

  In the past, the problem disappeared for a few months, but it happens regularly now. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Also, I use the program hardware sensors monitor 4.2 and it tells me that my CPU1 temperature is 60.0 ° c, while the temperature of the HARD drive is 37.0

  If this problem cannot be solved by a technician in person, where is the nearest place that I can go? I live in Canterbury, UK.
  Thank you
  Sebastian

  To me, this looks also because of overheating.
  This probably occurs because the game is a heavy application that requires complete laptop. In this case the CPU and graphics card produce a lot of heat, and therefore the temperature rises to a higher level.
  Then the operating system shut down the laptop to prevent damage.

  As mentioned you should check the fans and cooling modules and possibly try to clean with the vacuum cleaner. In addition, there should be enough free space around the laptop to the circulation air properly.

• Satellite A75: Permanent vertical line on the screen

  I had a Satellite A75 for about 1 1/2 years and a few weeks ago a thin line from top to bottom on the screen. The line appears as soon as the power comes on and is constantly when the computer is turned on. The color of the line depends on what should be the color of the screen. If the screen should be black, the line is green and if the screen should be white, the line is light purple. And all the rest.

  I think it's probably something wrong with the screen itself or the graphics card. Does anyone have ideas on how to determine the cause of the line and what it would take to fix it?

  Jon

  HI jon,

  The normal test to identify this type of aberration of the display is to connect an external monitor to the laptop. Then if the problem also appears on the external monitor, it's a fault with the graphics card. If the problem does not appear while the fault lies with the LCD display itself.

  My personal feeling is that the LCD is likely to be at fault, but any authorized service center would be able to test this for you.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A75: Problem external USB 2.0 DVD writer

  Hi Arek

  In my opinion, there are many reasons that may be responsible for this problem.

  One of them is a conflict with other software of CD burning, that is currently or was once installed on the system. These other recording programs registry changes is the normal cause and only for cleaning the registry after removing the software will solve the problem.

  You have some other burning software installed on your device?
