• Satellite Pro A10 - How can I change the start property?

  Hello

  How can I chance the A10 coastal boot?
  With ESC, I can access the BIOS, but I can't chance anything except the time.

  Thank you
  Tobias

  Hello!

  I think you should check the BIOS again because as far as I know, there you can change the boot priority.
  In addition, you should find more options in the BIOS as only the Date and time.

  Check it!

  Good bye

• Can not start my Satellite Pro A10

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A10. When he tries to start windows, it comes up with the "We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully" etc. I tried all the options for example

  Start:
  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last known good configuration
  etc.

  None of the options works. All I get is a flow of information about drivers and it then hangs. The last driver in the list is:

  multi (0) disk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS\System32\Drive rs\Mup.sys

  I can't clear the checkpoint.

  Unfortunately, I can't find the disc that came with the laptop, so I'm well and truly stuck.

  Any suggestions?

  See you soon

  HI Leon,

  It is quite normal that there is a list of drivers displayed when you try to boot into 'safe' mode However, if initialization fails, obviously there is a problem with your operating system and your only options are to try to fix the problem by using the recovery console (you will need to boot from a CD of original Microsoft installation), or you can restore the original Toshiba CD recovery full operating system.
  A third possibility would be to start with a utility such as Norton Ghost or Acronis image backup/restore and restore a backup previously taken by an external device.

  The simplest option is to restore from a backup that is already taken, but if you don't then you would be better restore from the recovery CD Toshiba you can get at any Toshiba authorized Service partner.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A10 just turned off with warning message

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 I've had for about 2 years now. During the 2 ~ 3 days I started to have a problem very serious and boring, and you're doing something to run MS word thro to play to a very high technical game (this game can be played on an old 486 no probs) the laptop after about 20 minutes (may vary) usage turns off just with warning message it immediately restarts without any problems and then after different durations down again and again :, (. everything got a clue what the hell happens, please help. :))

  Colin B

  Hello Colin

  Portable described behavior is specific to the overheating of the material. If the laptop is not properly cooled the temperature of the material at the level critical and just turns off without warning.

  Solution is cleaning. The device must be cleaned and dust should be removed. After doing this unit can take a new breath and you won't have this problem again. You will see that run cooling fan will also soften than before.

• Satellite Pro A10: No sound after upgrade to Windows XP Home SP2

  Hello

  Just use the recovery disks on my Satellite Pro A10, no problem with the sound, and then upgraded to XP Home with SP2, no noise.

  What I've read elsewhere, this is a problem and there seems to be an answer. I spent hours looking for drivers updated without success.

  I have also contacted Toshiba support, after blow and blow that they reported the following driver, 5.12.01.3542, which is the same one that I have already installed and does not work.

  Certainly there must be something out there that works.

  Ant.

  Install the driver of his most recent available FRO this sound chip and perform all the Windows updates available on the Microsoft page!

  Update just the BONES together!

  Notes; You may have to restart the laptop and need to connect to this site several times to get all available patches.

• Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E: NO sound after installing Win XP

  Hello world

  I had to reinstall Win XP Home - which went well, however - now there is no sound and it says no audio device is installed. I tried to install the audio drivers on the Toshiba CD but they go as far as unpacking but then say "not installed" and Setup stops.

  I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and follow the menu to identify which drivers to download? but there are several possibilities for the
  Model A - 10 and I am not sure I have listed below models have.
  A10-S100, A10-S1001, A10-S127, A10-S128, A10-S129, A10-S1291, A10-S167, A10-S169, A10-S1691, A10 S177, A10-S178.

  I would be grateful for your advice.

  Thank you

  What you mean? On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find only one series Satellite Pro A10.
  Once again; Do you have a computer or a Sat Pro A10 laptop satellite A10?

  There is a driver of sound for a portable Pro A10. This is a version of audio driver Analog Devices 5.12.01.3542.
  If you are using XP SP2 please check the information provided on the page of the driver Tosh

• Satellite Pro A10 CD Burning: after having burned the CD is empty

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 and my CD burner stopped burning. Someone at - it? I also had a problem earlier where he would burn only 1 disc immediately after startup. It says it burns and goes through all the motions, but in the end the drive has nothing about it. I use Maxell discs and have had no problem before using these. If the CD burner is broken it is possible to get a replacement and they are also easy to assemble.

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is really possible that the drive is defective. Before Exchange you it the only thing, you can try is to check if there is some success if you use different empty media (producers) and burn it using a few different burning applications. I recommend you to use NERO software of engraving.

  Also be sure that the engraving option is enabled and not only option called simulation.

  Replacement should not be problematic. If I remember correctly from the drive is fixed with a screw and you can find it in the bottom corner near the drive itself.

• Satellite Pro A10 does not pass the Windows page after removing SP2

  Hello

  I have a toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A10.
  I installed windows service pack 2 week last to try to get one of these dongles TNT to work, he never so I uninstalled service pack 2 I was going to try and reinstall it to see if it would work.

  Now, my problem is that the laptop will not go at all, it gets to the windows XP page and then everything stops, someone could help me I don't know what to do!

  Thank you
  Sharon

  Hi Sharon

  Seems that the system files are corrupted on the HARD drive.
  All of the installation and the removal of the service pack has damaged some files or registry entries.

  I don t think you will be able to resolve this situation without reinstalling the OS.
  In my opinion, it's a better way to get rid of this problem.

  Take the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall everything.
  If you want to back up your data, I recommend to connect the internal HARD drive to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  Good luck

• Activation of the LAN after reinstalling Windows - Satellite Pro A10

  I gave my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 an a copy of Windows XP Pro format. In general, I use a PCMCIA Wireless Internet card, but I don't want to connect to my laptop via a physical Ethernet cable. Unfortunately I can not understand how to turn the local network on my PC (I.E. It is even not in Device Manager). Does anyone know how to do this? (IE. What Toshiba utility, I need to do this etc.)

  Hello

  It's very strange. Please visit the Toshiba download page and install Toshiba FAST ether LAN V. 6.4.14 drivers satellite A10. It should work. If the device is enabled in the Device Manager it must work when you connect the LAN cable.

• SD-C2612 IDE #1 error after wrong firmware update - Satellite Pro A10

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

  I tried flashing with the right firmware (1315) but get the message to the Primary Master and Slave as "Not ATAPI Device" and "drive not connected".

  NB: at the start, even with the deleted DVD ROM, I always get the #1 error IDE.

  Update the bios to the latest version would help or is there all the options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?

  Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

  Best regards
  Angus

  > I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

  Lol :D I have don t wonder you get the IDE #1 error message.
  As you say yourself, you have flashed the drive with the wrong firmware. This has damaged the master/slave/c-salt settings of readers and so the BIOS doesn't recognize the CD/DVD drive. But I wonder why someone flashing the drive with a bad firmware?  :| We still know that a wrong firmware can damage the CD/DVD drive... and above all it is not necessary to update the firmware.

  > Update the bios to the latest version would help
  The BISO update will not help you because you have already good BIOS and it s NOT a problem of BIOS, but the evil and not compatible firmware is stored.

  > or are there options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?
  I'm don't know if this helps, but I know that it is not desirable because it may damage the material of CD/DVD players

  I recommend you contact the ASP in your country guys might revive the CD/DVD drive. Let's hope

• Satellite Pro A10 display and DVD issues

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 about 2 1/2 years and have never had a problem with him, but the other day when I tried to watch a DVD, look at a program (InterActual Player) opened as usual and then a few more seconds later the display will change in very low resolution (something like 14 colors, almost a negative and all image was massive Although I don't remember the actual numbers) and he said that I had to reboot in order to return things to normal. I tried the same DVD in Windows Media Player, as well as to try other DVDs and initially that the DVD would play in Media Player but not Interactual but now the same thing happens any DVD or player that I use.

  Also, I went on the computer this morning and got a message saying that the battery is low (although it was because I had not plugged the computer again, nothing to do with the last errors) and the computer is in standby. I plugged in the computer and you press the power button to wake the screen is very dark but visibly pixelated (I think that's the word, he had visible points, as if someone were holding a magnifying glass up to her) and got very slowly brighter until there has been a series of narrow bright stripes, like a giant pixel or a tv test screen.
  This could be a problem with the display drivers (even though I tried to update and we found since I always see a message 'Cannot find the requested string' by the icon for display in the control panel), the screen itself, or something else entirely?

  Sorry it's so long, but I thought it is best to include all the details in case it has been important. I hope someone can help!

  Hello Nicola

  As you know on this path is not easy to say what may be the problem. In my opinion, it is important to see what is happening exactly. I assume that your problem is not caused by the display driver. Try to properly test and notice where the screen is very dark.

  If this problem is repeated again and again that I recommend you backup your data and reinstall the unit with recovery media. On this path of unity will be factory configured and you can see if the problem still occurs. If so, it may be just caused by a malfunction of the equipment.

  Good luck!

• Satellite Pro A10 - no sound?

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro A10. For some reason, the computer plays no sound whatsoever. This includes CDs, DVDs, windows startup intro, no sounds of online video.
  Ideas for basic checks for me please?
  Big thank you.

  Hi, I have the same problem myself! I tried everything but nothing helps, some bitten computer tell me it's a chip that has blown on the main map, I thought it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop than to get it fixed!

  a mine for less than a year - the power supply died after a few months - the mouse pad has been temperamental for a few months and now this! good luck with it, if you hear of any cheap magicians who can fix it then let me know!

• Satellite Pro A10 with XP SP2 works very slowly

  I have a Satellite Pro A10; 256 RAM with 18 GB of HARD drive. (In think it was sold as a nominal 20GB).
  It's not particularly loaded with the software, even if the HD is about 90% full and is used primarily for surfing the Internet and word processing. It runs very slowly and has been making slower and slower.

  Click on an item oin the Start Menu, for example to open IE and takes literally 10 to 20 minutes to open the window under construction very slowly... really!

  I have Norton Internet Security and Norton System Works and the different uses do not find anything wrong, they report. Speed disk to run after a month, but also the system scans for viruses.

  I'm going back to the top upgrade RAM 1024 and also believe that a BIOS update is available but do not know how this will change the performance, or not at all.

  I know there must be other things I need to do to improve the speed. It is virtually unusable at the moment.

  What tests can I do to pin point problems and then how can I fix?

  Hello

  In recent years, I've used the Norton Internet Security and I was not satisfied. The point is that it is a good security tool, but it significantly slows down the performance of the computer laptop or computer. Now, I m using the freeware antivirus software called AntiVir.

  I see your computer laptop support only 256 MB of RAM. It is certainly not sufficient to use the Win XP smoothly.
  Other reasons could be overloaded HDD.

  Due to the low value of RAM, the laptop uses the area on the HARD disk for paging. Paging is an important part of virtual memory. It allows to use the HARD drive for data that does not fit in physical RAM.

  All of these are responsible by the performance of your laptop.

  By the way; It is perhaps also a time for a new installation of the OS.

• Satellite Pro A10 - need information about upgrading RAM

  Dear members of Ant
  Regarding the above machine: Please can someone advise:-how many slots memory has.
  I think it's two but do not know.
  Also size maximum memory can this module we have in this laptop please.
  If it's 2 @ 1 GB per module, then we would have a total of 2 GB.

  Is the standard hard drive on this computer, a hard drive of the laptop. Can I get out the small 20 GB one and replace it with a larger. for example 120 GB etc.

  Thank you very much for your help.
  Ian

  Satellite Pro A10 two memory locations are available. Laptop computer can manage with 1 GB of RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) modules.

  This old machine uses 2.5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it has been bundled with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDD. I think you can improve it with up to 100 GB HARD drive but just to be sure he has the same connector on the HARD drive.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.
  For more information after the exact model number please.

• How to recalibrate battery on Satellite Pro A10?

  The battery that came with my laptop has begun behaving oddly a couple of months (it's almost two years, Satellite Pro A10). She arrive at about 50% and then immediately fall to about 2 percent. After setting up with this for a few months, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new battery (charge not trivial, I might add). The new battery behaves exactly the same way. Someone has any advice on how to recalibrate battery PC Toshiba laptop, or verify that the problem is with the system and not the battery itself?

  Hi Richard,

  Check in options power management Toshiba you have the right setting for your type of battery. In my opinion, there are different settings for long battery duration, high power batteries, etc..

  If the problem persists, then I recommend re-installing the power management utility to make sure that it is not at fault, and if the problem persists, then there may be a problem with the power system of your laptop, in which case you will need to return to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba.

  Good luck
