  Thank you very much

  Owen

  Hello

  Usually, if you have a laptop wireless switch should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try to install the driver. Then the WLAn card should appear correctly in Device Manager:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If that doesn t work, you can try a BIOS update.

  Are you running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?

  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 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

  Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
  Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
  is - that say I have:
  1 a hard drive damaged
  2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

  the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
  Would appreciate any help.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
  If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
  Then try to start the recovery procedure.

  However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

• 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

• 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 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro A10

  Hello

  I have a PSA15E A10-IN running a celeron 2.0 chip. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if what chips it would take? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In most cases, the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of the BIOS and chipset restrictions.
  But sometimes it is possible to use a different CPU, which is supported by the chipset.
  I have no idea what chipset supports your laptop, but you can check this in the Device Manager or you could install some hardware diagnostic such as Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition software.

  Then, you can view properties chipset Intel ARK on page for a list of compatible processors.

  However, Satellite Pro A10 is very old and I doubt its value to upgrade the processor because you won't see a great performance.

• 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

• Satellite Pro A10 to the United Kingdom: impossible to find some drivers for XP

  Hello

  Just my old laptop slung and bought a 2nd hand, Satellite Pro A10 and have reformatted and installed my existing copy of XP home that uses the SP1, I managed to find all drivers I need except for the "USB Controller" and 2 instances of "Base system device".

  I can't find the USB driver anywhere, nor do I have any idea what a 'Base system device' is, any help greatly appreciated as its delay my work :/

  Thank you

  [Edited by: admin August 23 05 20:01]

  Hello

  I do not understand why you changed the operating system. I think XP Prof is the best version of Windows XP.

  Anyway, you can find all the necessary drivers on the utility CD & tools and programs. Drivers for XP Home and teacher are the same. On the CD drivers and programs are listed in the order. Follow this order during installation to avoid conflicts. And always reboot the system if necessary.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A10 HDD

  I have the Satellite Pro A10 C2.2GHz/XP Home/256 MB/20 GB/14TFT/DVD/WiFi. One day, the computer just froze and then resets and would not start again, and I kept getting the message:

  «PXE - E61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE, CHECK CABLE.» PXE - M0F: EXIT INTEL BOOT AGENT. "INSERT SYSTEM DISK IN.

  or

  'A DISK READ ERROR OCCURRED '.

  I tried some hard disk controllers, but they are unable to get anywhere, because they cannot access the drive. Anyone know of any solution to this, or if not, where would be the best place for replacement because my warranty has run out.

  Any help appreciated,

  Thank you
  Tom

  Hi John,.

  Unfortunately, it seems that if your HARD drive has crashed. The message of your BIOS is normally what you see if the PC cannot detect any bootable devices. Usually, it is a bootable HARD drive.

  Assuming you have the Toshiba Recovery CD you could try to restore your existing system to your HDD (it will automatically reformat the hard disk first), but you might find although it will simply fail restore due to the failure of the drive.

  Your next option is to replace the HARD drive. You can do it yourself very easily, or you may prefer to take the laptop to a Service Agent for them to do. Note that you still need to rebuild your system from the recovery CD according to your choice.

  Given that your device has a 20 GB HARD drive standard you could take this opportunity to install a larger capacity drive.

• Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, Windows XP Service Pack 2

  Hello world
  "I have a ' Toshiba Satellite Pro A10: P4 - M 2.2 GHz/XP Pro/15" TFT/40 GB / 768 MB.
  I have installed Windows XP Service pack 2 in my book.
  After the update to Windows XP SP2, the only way to start my computer after putting in "sleep mode" or "hibernation mode" is witch power off and then start up.
  I reinstalled "Toshiba Power Saver", but nothing came of it.

  What can I do about it?

  Kind regards
  Krasteff

  Obviously the Service Pack 2 does not match current preinstalled saver.

  First installation, you have is to wait for an updated version of Toshiba Power Saver, which is XP Service Pack 2 tested. But so far, you have no "Standby" or "hibernate".

  Installation of the second. If you need to "Standby" or "Hibernate" feature, uninstall Service Pack 2 and wait until there is a solution to the problem of energy saving.

  The two sounds is not perfect, but I think the second installation is the best way. Toshiba will surely bring a new Service Pack 2 tested Power Saver version.

• 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

  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.
