• Recovery CD is not repeated? Satellite A80

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A80. It came with 2 CDs a recovery CD and a "CD for additional software.

  My intention was to format the pc, but I've had problems.

  When I boot the recovery CD, there are 3 options: "Delete all Partitions", "Crush the Installation" and "Uninstall Express Media Player". I tried all these options, but none of them install windows XP, which is what it was preinstalled. When I start the laptop from the hard drive, it says "not found operating system"

  I hope I can get help here.

  Thank you!!

  Are you sure that you have started since the right recovery CD?
  You must start from the Toshiba OS recovery CD and not from the Express Media Player recovery CD!

  Don't mix the two CDs!

• Satellite A80 135 impossible to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disk

  Hello

  Ive got a laptop 2005 Satellite a80-135 that worked very well until I tried to format the HDD after a performance of Ram boost operation (kingston 1 gb Ram module).

  Just after that, the computer started showing software problems and finally crashed;
  So I decided to reinstall the entire operating system yet. and here, I found the problem I really hope you can help me

  The thing is that I can't format my hard drive to my cd player (with recovery CD in) when the machine is restarted.
  In theory, start the Panel menu should appear after the computer reboot with the C key simountaneously key but nothing happens.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Simply, the C button the STRANGE start.
  You can also try to press F12 after the laptop has been powered.
  Then the start menu should appear on the screen and then you could choose the ODD (optical disc) in order to boot from the CD.

  If this is not possible, the question is perhaps related to WEIRD malfunction or recovery disk.
  Maybe the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disc properly and so the laptop can not boot from the disc.
  You can try to copy the recovery CD using another computer and might try to start using the copied CD.
  If it does not the problem might be related to the WEIRD failure.

• Satellite A80 XP recovery work do not

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A80, I want to pass on to my children.
  Before that, I need to reinstall the XP o/s via the original product Recovery DVD-ROM.

  When I boot the disk, it tells me that it only works the * 'Toshiba PC' *-press the button and it restarts.

  Am I missing something? -Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Are you sure you used the right and compatible CD?
  Perhaps the recovery disk was created for another different Toshiba notebook?

  Moreover, something might be wrong with the DMI information, which are stored on the motherboard.
  The DMI contains different information on the laptop.
  If this info is damaged or does not exist because mobo has changed, then you will get this error message saying that it is not a Toshiba laptop or similar

  If the worst case I recommend that you install Win XP using a Microsoft Win XP CD. All the drivers of Toshiba for A80 lie on the European driver Toshiba Note page; You must choose archives to find the drivers.

• Find model Satellite A80-127 USA number

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba SA80 127. Is there a way I can find the model number of the US version of this laptop? because I probably need repairs/replacements parts (cooling fan / LCD).

  All suggestions will be useful.

  Thank you
  knockaert

  I agree with Homer

  Contact the ASP in your country and ask guys compatible fan or the cooling module

  To my knowledge there is not much difference between a European models and the American TV to laptop.

  I guess that the two laptops as Satellite A80-127 (EU) and A80-S178TD (US) would use the same cooling modules.

  But this is only my personal opinion and you should definitely ask the ASP in order to ensure that the parties are the same.

• Satellite A80 PSA80E - PXE - E61: Media failure test

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Satellite A80 PSA80E.
  "I am trying to boot the pc with the recovery DVD (I have a lot of viruses), but it's impossible because I tried to start (in Bios) only with the cd/dvd, but when he tries to start says an error: PXE - E61: Media test failure", and it do nothing.

  This is courious because if I start with the HD windows xp Home, I can use this recovery DVD, one more perfectly.

  Could someone me? Thank you very much

  This message appears because the laptop would not boot from the DVD.
  PXE - E61: Media test failure said that the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN, but the procedure was not successful.

  However, now you know why this error, but we need to know why you can not boot from the DVD

  There are two possibilities; your CD/DVD drive is faulty and cannot boot from one of the disks inserted or the inserted DVD is defective (scratched or something like that)

  This isn't a laptop problem, but certainly something wrong with your Microsoft software.
  In addition the Toshiba laptops are not delivered with Microsoft Office software.

  I think you should contact Microsoft technical support for more details.

  A hint; I recommend reinstall the MS Office XP again. Do not update from Office 97 to Office XP, but perform a new installation.

  After the new installation, refer to the MS Update site and install all belonging to Office XP updates

• 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.

• 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]

  [Edited by: admin]

  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!

  Hello

  Try to use the tool "system restore."
  This application restores the operating system to the beginning.
  Maybe it will work.

• Module Bluetooth for Satellite A80 129

  Hi all!

  Is it possible to upgrade my satellite A80-129 with a BT module or it is not possible at all?

  And if possible, what then is the right one for my laptop?

  BR, Kekec

  Hi kekec

  I found information that Bluetooth for A80 is not available. This means that there is no possibility of upgrade. In this case, the best advice is USB Bluetooth stick.

• Satellite A80-116 is online, but IE cannot display Web pages

  Hello

  Internet Explorer is opening for a split second then the message came, the page cannot be displayed. Unfortunately, now, it doesn't even work with the cellularphone anymore...

  Greetings from the Jamaica,
  hotinja

  Hello

  Believe me; It's not easy to give you a precise answer of 100% and the solution.
  But I'll try my best ;)

  From your description of the LAN or WLan card is unable to assign the IP address correctly. You should try to verify the State of the connection. To do this, simply right-click on the network icon in the taskbar. Also, try to repair the connection.

  If you use the WiFi network, please make sure that you use the encryption of law and that the MAC address filtering was not established on the Wlan router

  If this doesn't help I would recommend refreshing WLan LAN drivers.

  Good luck

• Battlefield II on a Satellite A80

  Hello

  I have the big problem that I can't play Battlefield on my laptop. The driver Nvidia are old (the latest version on the Toshiba site is 71,90). I hope that Toshiba will update the display driver as soon as possible! Is anyone here, here playing battlefield on a Satellite A80 Notebook?

  Greetings

  Hello

  If you can t find the driver for this device, you can try to search in other series of laptops that have the same graphics card.
  In addition, you can visit the graphics manufacturer for this driver. But note:
  No driver Toshiba cannot damage the graphics card. You can use it at your own risk.

  As far as I know, the Toshiba graphics card drivers have a function of protection due to overheating problems.
  In this case, you can always find the most recent graphics driver updates.
