• 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.

• Satellite Pro A10 - fan problem?

  Hello!

  I have read and looked for similar topics/issues, but I did find something similar...

  I have a problem in my notebook, which seems that I can't get rid... Whenever I use my pc a little more difficult (part No.: scan disc with anti-virus, zip a file, etc.) it overheats and shuts down.

  I opened, cleaned the fan (it wasn't bad btw) and continues today.
  But I noticed something is that it seems that the fan does not work at full power.
  When I turn it on (after overheating), the fan runs really at full power, but a few seconds later, the speed decreases and it constantly to keep the same speed and if try to do the same task, overheating again...

  The fan seems ok because it stops when the pc it's not hot, but everytime I try it overload, it keeps overheating, how can I solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance! Kind regards.

  Hello Fred

  As a first step please can you me to which you would like a response? If you wait for Toshiba technician for the response form you can wait very long because it is user in the forum.

  Second, I don't know exactly what it looks like in your case, but I noticed a similar behavior on my Satellite M70. After pressing power for a few seconds, cooling fan works at, I believe at full speed, but when load WXP start the cooling fan stops running. At this point Toshiba power saver (or power options Windows XP Home edition) controls the speed of the processor and cooling method. The entire operation is controlled by this tool.

  I really don't understand why you are upset because of this. If the laptop works fine now without overheating be happy and enjoy this good old classic.

  One more thing: next time be nice and Admin will not nice edit. :)

• Satellite Pro A300 (PSAG0E) UK - strange behavior

  If anyone has encountered this before?

  My A300 (Vista) works perfectly on the battery.

  However, when it is plugged in it will charge about 30 seconds after the Vista desktop loaded. This will be repeated endlessly.

  Safe mode works fine on battery and sector.

  All tips (other than to use it on battery?)

  Back up all your important data, reinstall the original functionality of Vista and test with the factory settings.
  In my opinion it should work fine again.

• Satellite Pro A10 wireless problems

  I am having trouble getting my laptop to a linksys adapter
  I installed it to the letter, but there is no icon in network connections.
  The router is working ok and I can connect to Internet, but no sign of the adapter.

  I have uninstalled several times including the use of registry clean softaware obtained at toshiba
  What I can / should I implement first ethernet cable?
  If the function/f8 key play a role in this?

  My notebook says specification is extensible wireless and I need some advice please

  Dave Martin

  Hi Dave

  You must first check if the material is properly recognized by the system.
  First, you insert the card (I guess it's a card PC, right?).
  After this, Windos should either charge automatically the drivers for the card or should ask you for drivers.
  If that works, you will get an additional network card in respect of the class of network devices in Device Manager.
  This is an important check!
  If all goes well up to this point, there should be a new available network connection and it should be wireless.

  Tell us the first not - worked and you need to provide the drivers?

• 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 - 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.

• 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 - 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.

• 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

• 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 - SP2 or 3 slows the performance of XP?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E that, over the years, had become very slow.

  Recently, I upgraded it's RAM from 256 to the maximum of 1 GB to try to speed things up, but it did not help.

  Then I reformatted the hard drive and reloaded the system using the Toshiba recovery disks. It worked well and the system performance has been excellent. However, with online safety in mind, I loaded the Windows SP2 (to go then to SP3) and it took the system back to where I started - very, very slow, in fact pretty much unusable.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba compatible SP2 and SP3 on this laptop model?

  If yes how install them without killing performance?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  According to me, SP2 or SP3 is supported on this Toshiba laptop because two Service Packs are contains important security updates and I think that's not the problem.

  If you install SP2 or SP3 you also get the center of security and better Windows Firewall. Maybe you should disable these two services given that the slowdown in the performance of the system (I always disable the two services).
  Just go to start-run-services.msc online online and disable both services and set the startup type to disabled.

  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.

• 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!
