• My Satellite Pro L450D starts with error 0xc00000e9

  Hello

  whenever I tried to start my Satellite PRO L450d-12 x it shows me,
  STATUS: 0XC00000E9
  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred.

  Have idea how to fix?
  I'd much appreciate help.

  Hello

  Can you please tell us what exactly happens when you start your laptop?

  There is obviously a problem in common between the hardware connected to the motherboard. It may be the HARD drive. Of course, it is not easy to say what exactly is the problem.

  If there is no problem for you to install OS again once I recommend you set the BIOS to default settings and install original OS that you got with your laptop. It's simple and the best method to check the operation of the equipment with the factory settings.

  If this will not help, I assume that there is a serious hardware problem.

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10 - problem with the IDE connector

  Hope someone can help me here.

  I'm trying to adapt a 80 GB HDD to the M10 and I managed to get the Hong Kong HDD caddy, but no matter where I turn, I can not find the right IDE connector.
  If anyone can give me a link to a vendor, I'd be really grateful. I had this project will for about 4 months now and she crawled to a halt.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that this Assembly to support Toshiba HDD (hard drive) (number P000370340) must be compatible for the HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

  HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
  A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

  Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

  I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

  Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

  THX in advance people.

  Hello James

  IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

  In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

  Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

  Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

• IDE #1 error on Satellite Pro A10

  Hi, my laptop Satellite Pro A10 displays IDE #1 error whenever I try to put it on. This message is all I get, even if it is shown for a short period of time - the laptop always comes back to this message, it tries to load blanbk of the screen just go and then this message appears every time! I was wondering if someone could explain what this means and how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you

  David

  Hello David

  This error occurs if there is a problem with the CD/DVD drive. For example, this error occurs if you try to use the incompatible reader. It will be interesting to see what happens if the drive is removed.

  You did any player upgrade?

• 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 - no answer - enter HDD #0 error

  Pro warranty A10, student daughter portable computer reports no longer works, already suspended and finally no response from any other lights at the entrance to DC charger is connected.

  Clean fan/radiator, a lot of lint etc. removed. No obvious signs to know why the Board me dead however. Confirmed with counters that this DC of the shipper in me Board. Ordered A replacement me Board, FHZSY1, eBay and equipped, taking the precautions of static, but can not confirm that they were done by the seller.
  Now, new Board of Directors recognizes the input DC and recharged the battery OK. Tried to turn on the laptop but terrible mistake INPUT #0. Concluded that the HARD drive had also been damaged. New (Toshiba box) arrived two days later but gave the same error when mounted. BIOS won't recognize HARD at all. Tried all the messages on the verification of the connections and certainly not of mounted riders. Laptop will continue to start from a system CD, as it may then think the new me Board is OK

  Are the HARD drive of the Satellite Pro A10 different from those on the A10 satellite earlier?
  Any other ideas on this INPUT #0 error?
  Thank you

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no different hard disks and your use of the same laptop as most other Toshiba laptops. I can just write that this error is certainly resulting HARD disk problem. The HARD drive is obviously not identified by BIOS correctly.

  Sorry but I have no more info on this subject. By the way: is the motherboard new or used one?

  Hello

  Why do you think the motherboard is ok?
  Maybe it s a controller keyboard problem
  Did you check if the cable is correctly connected?

  In my opinion if you are sure that the keyboard is ok 100% the problem to be attached to the motherboard because there is no other party that is placed between the keyboard and the mobo.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A10 - Win 7 with WLan PA3171U-1MPC

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 with a PA3171U-1MPC Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card, 160 GB HARD drive and 1 GB of RAM, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 for my son.

  He worked in XP before.
  States of Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:
  "Before installing Windows 7, go to the device manufacturer's Web site to download the latest driver for this device.
  After I installed Windows 7, install the sound driver. »

  Does anyone know if there is a driver (Windows 7) or a WinXP driver will do the job?
  If Yes, where can I download a (my XP image has been corrupted, I'll do a new installation).

  Thank you very much
  Steve

  Hello

  Firstly by Satellite Pro A10 is not Win 7 supported and therefore, you will find not all Toshiba drivers for this model of laptop. The unit is just too old.

  I put t know if Win XP WLan driver compatible with Win 7. I think that it s is not compatible. Driver Vista may be compatible with Win 7, but not Win XP driver.

  In the worst case, you will need to use an external USB WLan dongle to get wifi on this laptop.

• 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 - Wifi problem with router ZyXEL

  Hello

  I recently acquired a Satellite Pro A10 (PSA15E - 0115Q - EN) off the coast of the friend. It doesn't have a wireless card installed, but I managed to take of a Lucent MPC13A-20 that was installed without any problem, and it is recognized as a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card. However, despite the computer being able to read my neighbors wifi (next door and in the apartment on the floor), he refuses to acknowledge my router, even if I'm in the same room. My router is a ZyXEL P-660HW-T1 v2 which works very well (I tested it with another laptop).

  Can someone please help!

  Thanks in advance,
  Fred

  Hello!

  Make sure your router is using a WiFi standard that supports your card. If you use 802.11n you should drop down to 802.11 g for the tests.

  In addition, you should check the channel of your wireless network card. It should be the same as the router.

  Good bye

• Help wireless with a necessary Satellite Pro A10

  Hello I just bought a Toshiba Satellite pro A10 psa15e-03u82-en of second hand and I'm having trouble with the wireless option. This computer is equipped with a built-in wireless card?
  The light on the switch doesn't switch on when on is selected and there is no wireless option in Device Manager.
  But if you go to the support page for driver download at the web site of Toshiba drivers for wireless utilities!
  Is the map or can it be mounted under a removable hatch on the base of the laptop?
  Any help will be greatly appreciated a lot

  Hello

  the problem is that wireless is delivered optionally with this machine. This means that the machine does MUST NOT have wireless but can be equipped or bought with the wireless option added.

  You can only do the following: you can get a mini-pci wireless card (I suggest atheros, gently work cards in almost all machines) or you take the PCMCIA wireless card, so Don t you have nothing to install ON your machine.

  In the case of a mini-pci card, you can improve your machine by removing a cover on the bottom (should be more on the front of the machine) and then put the card carefully into the slot. And CAREFULLY stick antenna that plugs into the connectors on the Board. They cable cannot be repaired if you damage one of them.

  It would be better to look for a technician and allow it to install the card. I think it should be much safer. ;)

• 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.
