• Satellite A80-154: Questions on BIOS/cooling

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  I recently bought a Satellite A80 154 of the German retailer "Media Markt" for only EUR 1299,-.

  Although the general impression of the laptop is fine, I have two questions that make me think back to the seller. The questions are:

  (1) cooling system is too strong, in particular Linux, which is my main platform. However, the problem occurs on Windows, where I am able to slow down the CPU frequency (but not GPU) with an average success in terms of reduction of sound intensity.

  (2) bios of a laptop is by Phoenix and not Toshiba, which I expect to find (it's a big problem for me, since the Linux kernel for Toshiba laptops support is much better than that of Phoenix BIOS).

  Here are my questions:

  Toshiba selling different versions of the Satellite A80 154? (for example a good market with Phoenix bios and more expensive with a Toshiba bios and improved cooling). If they did, I would invest the additional EUR 300,- and buy one directly from Toshiba (if possible at all). I also ask, because I tried to update the Bios with version 1.70 - WIN (is this Toshiba BIOS?) from the BIOS download site unfortunately without success (he complains about the size of the bad bios).
  Is it possible to operate an A80-154 with BIOS Toshiba (and this would reduce the level of noise)?

  Sincerely yours.
  Martin Spindler.
  PS: Will to sell Toshiba laptops supports the new standard MXM in the near future?
  PPS: Please respond directly to the [email protected]

  Hello

  1, on the volume of the cooling system, I can only advice you the Toshiba Power Saver or 4.23 SPEEDFAN tool.

  2, which has your BIOS model depends on the series of products. If you want a Toshiba BIOS, you must choose a laptop as the M40 Satellite, Tecra M3, Tecra A4 or Tecra M4.
  You can also ask your local dealer or test it!

  Good bye

• Satellite A80 - 154 - keyboard and Touchpad are not working

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A80 154

  The keyboard doesn t work.
  I see the light, but no key worked. The same thing with the touchpad.
  I can t go into Bios.

  When I plug a keyboard and USB mouse in works fine.
  I am looking for a new Ebay. The best offers $ 24 + $ 6!

  I see in the Windows, the keyboard and the touchpad with one!
  I put t know what the problem is, but it's not a prob of Windows.
  It doesn t work either in Bios.

  Thank you for the help

  Hello

  It looks like a hardware problem.
  If the warranty is valid, you can contact the ASP in your country for a verification of the material.

  If the warranty is not valid, you can first check if the keyboard cable is properly connected to the motherboard.
  If it s properly connected then a keyboard failure is possible and it would be wise to check if a replacement would help solve this problem.

  Compatible parts can be ordered also from the ASP in your country.

• Satellite A80-154 - cooling module very hard

  Hello

  Since a few days, my A80-154 laptop cooling unit is very strong from time to time.
  It is a gurgling noise, which, well, doesn't sound like a cooler should sound.

  It occurs mainly when I turn on my computer.
  My computer is about 2 years old.

  Is there someone who has the same problem? Or even someone who can tell me how to solve this problem?

  Best regards

  Matthias Mentschel

  Hello

  In my opinion, there are two possible reasons why buzz comes from the cooling module.

  (1) the cooling module is clogged and dust and debris to prevent courteous race fans
  (2) the malfunctioning of the cooling module and must be replaced

  Well, in both cases, the laptop must be disassembled to check what's exactly wrong.
  I see that you are a beginner and I wouldn't recommend open Notepad by yourself.

  Ask a technician for laptop to help him avoid further damage of laptop!

  Good luck

• Need to swap the CPU of a Satellite A80 154 fan

  Hey there,

  I use a Satellite A80. My CPU fan no longer works and I want to change it.
  Anyone know where I can get a guit maintenace and service for the A80 know how open and change the FAN or someone knows how to change the fan?
  Thx a lot

  Hello

  I think it would look better in your situation contact a local authorized service partner because exchanging a fan in a notebook is not like exchanging into a desktop computer.
  Just a suggestion: click on the following link:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ASP_SUPPORT

  You can call and send maybe your machine for them. Should be more advisable to give some expert to do this because you can cause serious damage to your machine when you are not familiar with these electronic components to your machine.

• Satellite A80 129 DVD-RAM write speed problem

  Hi all!

  I have a problem. the thing is that I want to write in NERO 6 (last version purchased) a CD or DVD, but we will only write to me at slow speeds. In this laptop I MAST * a DVD-RAM UJ-830 s with DVD-R 8 x and 24 x CD - R write speed said.

  When I try to write on a CD it gives me only 16 x write speed, then where is x 24? It goes same for DVD, as I want to burn DVDs and it gives me only 2 x write speed.

  Please, do not put this fault on a CD or DVD, cause in my country there are limited suppliers of this type of media, so I won't change my media. They worked with my previous PC CD - RW fine, no speed problem.

  I want to know also if this is lack of DVD - RAM, where then find firmware for this burner?

  Thanks for your replies.

  BR, Kekec

  You should try to update nero, it might solve the problem.

  Also an update of the firmware can help, go to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

• Satellite A80-115: reader of DVD Multi not closing

  Hi all

  My Satellite A80-115 multi DVD player has problems of closure; I sometimes try up to 10 times before locking the drive in place.
  Everyone knows about similar problems?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Hi Tom,

  As you will understand, the CD tray use a mechanical lock to hold it firm when you use. The latch is locked to prevent opening while the disc actually rotates the drawer.

  If you have problems closing the drawer, then it will probably indicate wear or damage the physical locking mechanism. Access to the lock will be the degree of disassembly and it will be very difficult to opbtain the components of the lock, so I think that the best option would be to replace the disk.

  If your device is still covered by a warranty it should be done by authorized service center.

  If your warranty has expired, then you can consider replacing the drive yourself. Several suppliers are located on the internet.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A80 127. I have a problem with my CD player.

  When I tried to upgrade my XP Home Edition of XP Pro SP2, display said the restart that he couldn't play in my CD player. During the inspection, I found that my CD/DVD drive is unable to read CDs if it can read the DVD. From what I remember, it was working fine a few days before.

  I tried to locate the source of the problem and with the option of troubleshooting, I found that I have a yellow exclamation mark against my SCSI/RAID host controller in my device (with error code 39) Manager. I could not update the driver it give me an error message. In addition, there was a controller SCSI/RAID of Nero. I tried to remove to check if the main works, but always without success.

  Any suggestion would be great, and in the meantime I'll try to find similar topics.

  Thank you

• A80-157 LCD upgrade to the A80 - 154

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A80 - 157 (model .es), which seems to be the same model as the A80 - 154 (model .de) except the screen. They have the same graphics card.

  A80 - 157 has a XGA 15 '' LCD
  A80 - 154 has a SXGA 15 '' LCD

  I wonder if I could spend my A80-157, with the A80-154 LCD replacement screen.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I checked these two models Toshiba Satellite A80 and A80-157 unit supports max 1,024 x 768 internal resolution.
  Satellite A80 154 supports the 1,400 x 1,050.

  The screen both have the same measures, and in my view, that it should be possible to replace this poster.
  But if you do, you will lose the warranty.

• Keyboard and beep on startup with Satellite A80 problem

  Post edited by: habib00

  Hello h,.

  I suggest you to bring your machine to a local service partner, or at least by a technician who is familiar with toshiba laptops, because your question looks quite related to the material.
  Someone pour some liquids above? I had the same problem a few years ago that my sister pours coke on the keyboard of my satellite 2430. :(

  Would like to hear a response from you :)

• Satellite A80 121 does not start and make a beep after every 15 seconds

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A80-121, and it won't work. Yesterday, worked all very well, but now it does not start.
  When I press the button the button normally has a blue color, then the screen stays black, no image at all, then the fan stops. Then I got a beep every 15 seconds.

  Can someone help me what is wrong?

  Thank you very much for your help

  Hello!

  It sounds like a hardware malfunction...
  If you have installed two RAM sticks try it with a single. Check it!

  I m not a technician to laptop but the problem may be with the motherboard, RAM or CPU, but this is my personal opinion.

  Good bye

• Problem of its satellite A80 129

  I bought the laptop Satellite A80-129 a few days ago. I decided to install Win XP Prof instead of Win XP Home, which came with the laptop. After installing all kinds of software, I noticed something weird. His knowledge was quite low.

  I checked all kinds of possible parameters of volume everywhere and it is set to max everywhere possible. Also, I checked the volume on the laptop dial and it is also turned to MAX I installed WM Player 10, RealPlayer, Quicktime and Winamp 5.08.

  After playing some of my music, I came across something interesting. While I was playing my music in Winamp, I also played a small video file in WM Player 10 and that's sound was really loud. Immediately I looked at which audio codec is used in this video and this is WMA 9 (64 kbit/s, 48 kHz stereo, (A / V) 1-pass CBR). When I stop the playback of this video, sound volume decreases again.

  I also tried sound in other software such as RealPlayer and Quicktime, and only after I read this audio video gets really strong in all players. Any suggestions?

  I would point out also that no matter if I play music (mp3, wav, audio CD..) or video (avi, mpeg, rm,...), audio is still low. Only after that I have play this specific video, the sound becomes strong to all players, playing music or video.

  I also have problems with energy saver. If I install it, everything I write in the world is so slow, it appears letter-by-letter although I already wrote the entire sentence. If I uninstall, then everything is back to normal. Why is this happening?

  I would really appreciate a response.

  Best regards, Kekec

  Hi Kekec

  It's very strange because that all tools & utilities should work fine using Windows XP Home and Professional. Have you had all of these problems at the beginning with OS preinstalled by Toshiba? The original operating system provided by Toshiba included SP2. Have you installed it too?

• Satellite A80 - problem of product recovery

  Hello world!

  I have my Satellite A80-144 for almost 4 years now, but now my baby seems to be not more happy and were on strike. I have used my product recovery DVD-rom in the hope of bringing back the good old days No go!

  What are the lost areas warning or error partitions defined and all that blah, blah, blah, which doesn't help me a lot without YOUR professional opinion.

  Following all the instructions on the screen during the recovery procedure did not help. What should do? The hard drive is formatted now, but it does not start. Always a mistake.

  Help, please! Thank you very much!

  Hello

  > What are the lost areas warning or error partitions defined and all that blah, blah, blah,.
  According to the statement, a HARD disk failure is possible.
  You receive a message about lost areas and damaged partitions and in my opinion, this is displayed because the HARD drive is not ok.
  If you can try to format the HARD drive, but that won't help I recommend to replace the HARD drive

• Satellite A80 - after sound upgrade code only RAM

  Hello

  Just tried to update my RAM of the original 512 MB to 2 GB but now empty black screen and beep code: triple - single - triple - single
  I have downloaded and run the upgrade of BIOS from the toshiba site - but no change. I also tried to install the RAM 1 GB at a time, but no difference.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Use you to upgrade 2 GB RAM a module or two 1 GB modules?
  What are the exact specifications of the RAM? You should check if they are compatible with the laptop.

  I checked the Satellite A80 manual and it can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use two modules of 1 GB with PC2100 DDR - RAM specification.
  Check this box!

  Also two identical modules must be installed to avoid compatibility problems.
  I have good experiences with the Kingston modules.
