• Satellite Pro 4290: How to solve the problem of error IDE #1

  I recently purchased a DVD - ROM drive to put my optical drive Sat Pro 4290 a CD in DVD - ROM. As suspects, I am the problem if the drive is not recognized and get error IDE #1.

  I can get windows XP to recognize the disk by deleting the secondary IDE channel in the material and then look up the new material again. Then installs the IDE channel and then detects and installs the DVD-ROM and works very well. I restart the computer laptop and back to square one!

  I understand that it is something to do with the settings of the motherboard and someone has solved this welding pins in different locations on the IDE connectors.

  I don't want to risk it and I was wondering if anyone finds an easier way to do it?

  Thank you very much

  > I understand it's something to do with the settings of the motherboard and someone has solved this welding pins in different locations on the IDE connectors.

  Set to true if not 100%. This isn't a matter of adjustment on the motherboard, but the setting of the CD/DVD drive.
  The Player supports different master\slave\c-salt settings and if they are not compatible BIOS does not correctly recognize drive.

  On external hard drives (for desktop) it s possible to change these settings by changing the jumper, but it is not possible for readers portable slim.
  Portable settings are stored in the firmware!

  I found various non-legal tools that can change the master/slave/c-salt settings but I wouldn't recommend using it.
  The risks are too high so that the reader will have some damage.

  So, try to replace the drive with a compatible

• Satellite Pro A210 - dead on the screen pixel

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Satellite Pro A210 seris.
  Professional Vitsa.

  When I first turned it on, I noticed at the same time there is a broken pixel!

  The ASP said that unless at least 7 pixals are broken, they won't do anything!

  I am now wondering, how long it will be before more pixels don't work more, or if it will stay the same it is to say:
  Just the one pixel?
  Anyone know what I can do about it and that it will be just a matter of short time before my monitor goes together?

  I would really apprecaite any advice with this, from course I am sure you will understand that I am new to laptops.

  Thanks so much for anyone who can give me some info etc. or help with this.

• Satellite Pro M30: Where to find the new battery

  Hello

  I think I need a new battery for my Satellite Pro M30. When the battery is fully charged, it will be only for a few minutes. The light comes on when connected to AC so I know that it charges.

  I guess my battery died (I had the computer for almost three years now) and I need to get a new battery. Problem is, I don't know where to find it. The Toshiba homepage doesn't seem to provide.

  Is anyoine knows what to do?

  Thaks!

  Hello

  Your suggestion is right! This really looks like a dead battery and replacement is necessary.
  So, you know the details of the battery?
  Usually, batteries compatible and taken in charge are listed on the Toshiba site Options & accessories.

  I found this site on the European site of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> product-> Options & accessories
  Here, you can choose your laptop model and you will get a list of compatible parts

  Oh compatible parts you can order the ASP in your country.

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

  Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

  By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

  I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
  Any ideas?
  Concerning
  Phil

  Hello

  Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
  In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
  The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

• Satellite Pro L300-1AQ only to charge the battery while the phone is in use

  I have a Toshiba SP L300-1AQ.

  In the last month we started having problems with it quit unexpectedly, even on power outlet.
  This morning I used it for about a half hour. When I started the battery level was 39% full, so I plugged it into the outlet. The fire area on the front of the laptop came and taskbar in Windows icon showed it was plugged and load (battery light was orange).

  After half an hour, I checked the battery and it was down to 16%. I turned down the brightness of the screen to try to reduce energy consumption, but less than a minute at the level of the battery was down to 15%. The toolbar icon and power lights both still power showing tasks. The power adapter was cold to the touch. I expect that it is hot. It seems to me that the power adapter does not provide enough power to run the laptop and recharge the battery. If the laptop is in sleep mode, the battery may charge.

  We need a new power adapter?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's really hard to say what the reason is but first of all, I think its hardware problem and not software related.
  Maybe the card mother doesn t charge battery problem more or the AC/DC adapter is defective. So can you test another adapter AC/DC to a friend for example? It would be interesting to know because if an AC/DC adapter works it seems to be a problem with the motherboard.

  I don t have Satellite Pro L300, I only Satellite L300 but it works really well and I can t notice a problem with the battery charging. It s all ok again :)

• Satellite Pro 4290: error IDE1 with reader of DVD - RW NEC AD - 7543

  Hello..

  I SatellitePro old 4200ser. 4290 journal...
  .. and I burn DVD and CD...
  ..
  This laptop was built with STD CDROM...
  and then have Player DVD/CDRW (combo)...
  (is not good in the car, have problems with some type of media)

  .. I buy the new DVD - RW NEC AD - 7543A, player
  .. Install it inside... and BIOS post "IDE1 Error '...
  .. and the drive does not, of course...

  .. How can I solve this problem... ??

  (MASTER, SLAVE, CS, switch..?) Select... ??)
  (bios and firmware are latest witch I find on the web)

  .. or is that someone who have any other DVDRW drive
  with the work in this Notepad...?

  Hello

  As far as I know a? IDE1 Errora? means that the STRANGE is not compatible with this unit. Probably the pin assignment is not the right one. Problem is that every ODD will not work on all laptops models and before buy you one, it is important to know what chances are compatible.

  Otherwise, your unit is old enough (about 6 years) and I really donâ? believe that you will be able to find any compatible DVD burner. In my opinion, only way is to use an external and connect using the PCMCIA card. Sorry, but I na? t see another possibility. Maybe someone else has the best recommendation.

• Satellite Pro A120 - dead in my keyboard keys

  Hello!

  Some keys on the keyboard of my laptop died. He started only with the keys V, M, dot comma, apostrophe, delete and end. But after 2 weeks, the keys B, N, slash and enter also died. I already cleaned the keyboard, but nothing happens.

  You guys can help me with this? Thank you.

  Hello

  Hmm, I think that in the case of you only a keyboard replacement.
  Of course, you can easily remove the unique keys from the buttons on the keyboard and might clean the space under the keys, but I n t think that it might help to solve your problem.

  Try to contact local ASP and ask for help. The technician can help you with the replacement of keyboard, and if the warranty is valid, everything must be done for free.

• Satellite Pro 4290 and Belkin G + MIMO - Internet access card is not possible

  I recently purchased a Belkin Wireless g MIMO notebook card to connect to my home network. The card works fine transfer files between computers, but when it connects to the Internet (regardless of the browser) it suddenly freezes with no conflict.

  However if I connect via a wired Ethernet connection, it works fine. The laptop has 64 MB of RAM and running Win2K.
  All advice?

  Hallo Pedro

  According to your description, this device works well, and I presume the State in Device Manager indicates that this device is working properly.

  All of a sudden Frost is mainly caused by a misunderstanding between hardware and software. It is not easy to give you any precise explanation why this happens and I recommend you visit the support page of producer and check if this behavior of map is known and if there is no solution.

• Satellite Pro L100 - where can I get a battery?

  It gives me an error on the battery indicator that the battery needs to be replaced
  Where can I get a battery

  New battery can be ordered from Toshiba ASP (certified partner).
  You can also loom for a battery in the internet.
  Remove the battery from the laptop and there should be a label with the part number.
  Look for this part number in internet to find compatible battery.

• Satellite Pro L20 dies on 70% of the battery

  battery has about 3.15 hours remaining, and the laptop turns off twice and reset the clock and date at 11 pm on January 10, 2005. technical help say that I need to send the laptop battery all etc. away just to have the battery replaced. I'm not happy.

  the problem would be - something more deep internally?

  Hello

  It's strange, and I guess it could be something wrong on the motherboard.
  If the technician says you must send the laptop everything so I don't see any other possibility.
  I think that the diagnostic test is necessary to know what goes wrong.
  Believe me without any test that it is not easy to say why this happens.

• Satellite Pro A210 - recover the HARD internal disk

  Happy new year guys – love the active forum community!

  My Satellite Pro A210 dead spectacular a few months back and being out of warranty, I did my best to fix it - diagnosis I think has a faulty motherboard (No bios loading, no start-up through external boot disks/drives) and if I do regular backups, there are always a few files that get missed so connected the HARD drive to another PC to find the HARD drive died in that it is not even turn.

  Is it possible, even bother to try to change the circuit printed out the HARD drive, like-for-like, or is the circuit "listens" on the disc (even if it could lead to another Board blown) or what are my options to get the HARD drive looked at and repaired, at what price?

  Sorry if this is a stupid question

  Hi bearoon,

  This means you want to replace the Control Board on the underside of the HARD drive itself?

  Well, theoretically it of possible, but note: you can only replace it with a Board of 100% same HARD drive. If you use it from another HARD disk you can destroy the HARD drive and everything on it always makes not readable so it s sensitive technique.
  So before of you exchange it make sure that the model numbers of the two HARD drives are 100% identical.

  I've never done this on 2.5 portable hard drives but a few years ago I did it on my drive HARD 3.5 from desktop and it worked and so I was able to recover my data. The reason was that t wasn't HDD spinning up more (totally dead) and the problem was the faulty Control Board.

• Satellite Pro A210: Battery drains fast access

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro A210 news from Jan. The battery seems if discharge very quickly during normal use so I´d be interested if someone could let me know what kind of life you get from your.

  More problematic is that when the left in hibernation it drains the battery in about 36 hours, once again I´d be interested in your experiences.

  It seems to load normally so I wonder if the pc is attractive more current than it should. I spotted a wire on the basis of knowledge of Toshiba which mentioned Wake on Lan, causing similar problems recommend have disabled in bios, I checked and it is turned off.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Andy

  Hello

  generally, the battery should last about 2 hours (surfing, writing, etc.). I mean it depends of many factors such as:

  1 powersaving settings
  2. applications from running
  3 execution of application
  4. connected devices (such as USB - HDD, etc...)

  regarding the Hibernate: this is normal. What did YOU expect?
  It would also be great if you could tell me how long your machine usually in battery mode works... would be really useful ;)

• Question about Satellite Pro L100 battery

  I have a Satellite Pro L100 with a model PA3450U-1BRS battery. My friend gave my number model PA342OU-1BRS L10 battery.

  Would this work in my laptop? What means 4300mAh? Mine has 2000mAh? Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  I don't know if it would work, the most important thing is that the tension specific to your machine. The battery fits in your machine (I mean in your battery housing?).

  The mAh xxxx means the ability, so if you have more capacity then your machine will run longer on battery.

  But if I were you I wouldn to experiment with my machine, because if you put the battery in the machine and batt damage your system, then you haven´t no warranty and your computer will become a heavy paperweight.

  See you soon
