• Satellite Pro A10 battery won't hold a charge

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10. I used it for a few years on AC power only. I tried to use it on battery, but I don't have that about 5 minutes before switching to standby mode. She descends slowly from 100 percent to about 96 percent then powers. When I plug directly support I have only 3% of the power.

  I thought if I totaled the battery, so I bought a new, but the same thing happens.

  Do you think that my new battery is duff too?
  I am running the latest version of the bios (1.30).

• Satellite Pro A10 battery replacement?

  Hi all

  I get the message "Critical autonomy" on my laptop for a while now. Now, I want to replace the battery because I killed the other: (.) However I've not done this before. How can I change the battery? Y at - it web sites you know that illustrates the process. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion in this case, it of not necessary to replace the battery.
  I guess you have worked only with battery and this message appears if the battery is empty and if the battery charge is necessary.
  In this case, you must connect the power adapter and charge the battery.

  PS: you can also try to change the alarm level of the battery at the lower level.

• Satellite Pro A10: battery discharged very quickly

  I had the laptop for about 2 years and it has been very good. But in recent weeks the battery (when not on power) discharge VERY quickly (in a minute or two) as soon as any disk activity takes place. I guess it must be the battery, but I noticed recently that even after being in power for several hours while I had used widely, he showed he was still that 90% of charge.

  I am aware that recharge the battery too frequently can cause the battery be reduced significantly but I made a point to let him unload frequently to try to avoid this.

  This one any sense?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times. After this period, only the battery loses performance and you need to replace.
  The battery is covering 1 year warranty.
  Increased time battery life it s recommended to remove the battery if the power adapter is plugged.

  In your case, I think the battery is dead, and if you want to use the laptop with the battery you need to replace.

• 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

• Replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10

  Hello
  I'm trying to find a replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10, PA3284U-1BRS, 10.8 v original battery, 3600 MAH. A couple of merchants said that it is no longer available and has been replaced by PA3285U-1BRS, the amperage is a little higher at 4400 MAH, but declared voltage is now 11.1 VOLTS. Is this normal, or are they trying to just me to pawn off the coast with something that is really not compatible with the specifications of the original part. I can't find the part for the moment available on the Toshiba site, seems to have been the only way to get a true replacement who would be sure to adapt. Battery wizards there know what would actually?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Battery (Li - ion, 6 cell, 4400mAh) part number: PA3285U-2BRS

• Satellite Pro A10: RTC battery is low or CMOS chesksum unstable

  I have a Satellite Pro A10.

  When I turn everything first laptop computer on I get RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is unstable - press F1 to set date/time. When I press F1, I get a beep and it's everything that happens. I'm unable to had to set up or do anything at all with the installation program.

  I kept it plugged in for 24 hours, but still the same results. I replaced the CMOS battery with a new. But even once, I get the exact same results.

  All that happens when I press F1 and a sound signal. Is this a sign that I have probably a problem with the motherboard?

  You can access the BIOS and could try to set the default settings, and then save the settings and start again.
  If it doesn't, then it must be another reason for this message.

  My first thought was that this error pops up because the BIOS battery is empty.
  Usually such charge as described in your ad should help get rid of this message.
  But it seems that there is a more serious problem

  I m not quite sure what this could be, but the hypothesis that a motherboard could malfunction is not wrong.
  I think that a fault of mobo might this causes too.

  But in my opinion a mobile technician must check to make sure what's wrong.

• Question about BIOS for Satellite Pro A10 files

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 and later yesterday, he won't, he past the TOSHIBA start screen and then black with a flashing cursor, it didn't leave me in advanced settings or the settings of the BIOS, a friend told me I need to Flash BIOS, I came across the site and found only a BIOS update and management told me to use the floppy drive , he said when I unzip the file I get an .exe file which I opened and it will give me three files, one for the CD ROM, one for the floppy drive and the third I don't remember, but it didn't happen, when I unzipped the files in a temporary folder, but I never had the files.

  I think I had to have it on my own laptop, and then it would be extracted properly, because my laptop does not work I can't do and even if I put the files on a disk, they are too big.

  Then...

  Where can I get the files from the BIOS that I can put on a floppy disk and then I can boot from that disk and it will fix the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  OK, follow these steps:

  Burn the file bios to CD on a CD, boot from it and update your bios. It's a simple and easy way. I Don t understand why it shouldn´t work, given that I ve updated my bios in the same way. I burned the image to CD and booted from this CD.

  Please answer perhaps you just made a mistake when you think to (I sometimes do too much, not often, but it happens..)  :)

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card

  Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.

  I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
  Any recommendation?
  Any help would be appreciated muchly.

  Hello

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  Hope this will help a little.

• Satellite Pro A10 stops on specific opportunities

  Hello!

  I am owner of a satellite Pro A10 (PSA15E). It's hard drive stop working, the pc could not find. So I bought a new, a samsung with 160 GB, IDE, of course.

  Now when I was installing windows, in the part file copy, it just stopped. When I boot it says initialization file fails, then I guess it stops when it was to transfer this important part.

  If I run the cd again, it does not format or reinstall/repair request, it loads only some files and try to start windows and then stops.

  Now, this is where the tricky part comes in: the power led in turn, then again very fast when it stops. I do not use the battery (it is already dead too), and I use an universal AC, a give, 70W adapter. I tried formatting via a LiveCD Ubuntu, with no luck, because when I choose "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" it stops a little as he thought, and then when he is about to leave the menu and do something, it stops in place.

  My only guess, is that this laptop doesn't want me more :(

  I could really use some help, I just spent some 50 on a HARD drive for him and he is the only laptop that I have. I don't think that it is a question of temperature because it stops just at specific times, on some specific choices. If I just let it hang there in the menu (the Ubuntu live CD one) it is not closed. Only when I want him to go further.

  Any help/response is greatly appreciated, and if I take a little too much time to respond is because I don't have access to internet at work now.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Theoretically, this could be an overheating problem as Akuma wrote. Therefore, you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and can improve the cooling of the laptop.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what happens if you run Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility this work?

• 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.

• Satellite Pro A10 won't boot up - where to get the disks

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that currently does not start up Windows (XP) as it says

  The following file is corrupted or damaged:
  C:\windows\system32\config\system

  Tools & Utilities CD that came with my laptop has unfortunately been scratched and will not start.
  I have two system recovery disks, which are very good.

  My questions:

  1. is it possible to buy a replacement Tools & Utilities CD-Rom?
  2. If Yes, where to go?
  3. is there a way to restore my laptop without having to reinstall everything completely and lose all my files?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: Stuart_2007

  With regard to the point;

  (a) generally, it should be possible to order the CD of tools & utilities but I ask why?
  (b) you can buy the CD of the ASP in your country
  (c) the older recovery CD is supported by an expert mode. You can use this mode to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed. In this case only, this partition will be formatted.

  But look, man. You do not need to order the CD tools & utilities because on this CD, you will only find the Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.
