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 PSA15E: Encryption WPA WLan is missing

    I reinstall a Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E-018PC-OF.
    The problem I have is to get the WPA available for the wireless network card.
    Do I did wrong.
    Reinstallation of XP SP2 full.
    Installed Toshiba drivers. I used the drivers Intel Pro set.

    There is nothing wrong! WiFi encryption type depends on the WLan card specifications and not the driver WLan.

    If the equipment (WLan card) does not support WPA encryption, then you will be not able to use it! The update of the driver won't help you!

    You need to replace the WLan card with another that supports WPA or you are going to buy additional WLan USB key that supports this encryption too.

  • 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 4340 is compatible with Wlan?

    my friend has offered its satellite pro 4340 for my work to a level of children. I need to connect to the internet on this subject. what I'd like to know is: is - this compatible with the radio? If I bought this wireless could it be plugged in and used? is this a laptop useless? I have no IDE on computers

    Hello Wendy

    I found some info on this unit, and I'll try to give you some advice on its use. First be sure the unit is in good condition and it starts. This unit is initially shipped with Windows 98SE. According to RAM, you can also use other operating systems.

    Please talk with your friend and ask him which OS is pre-installed and the amount of RAM is here. Maybe someone can give you some useful tips on more operating system installation or how to use it in the best way.

    This laptop is definitely not pointless and it's very good for children and they can use it to learn more about the use of the laptop and also how to deal with operating system (basic knowledge).

    Computer laptop itself has no wireless card but you can use the PCMCIA WLAN card. To find more information please contact your local dealer to PC. They can give you important information about compatibility, and you can also ask them to install the device and also test in store for you.

    If I forgot something please ask again and make your friend under pressure with price. ;)

  • Re: Satellite Pro L630-14F - questions with WLAN

    Hello

    After a reinstall full Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop, the wifi does not work.

    After (and during) start-up, the orange led stills (and non-white as others...)
    Holding the Fn key and F8 doesn't change (or close the led or do anything become white), other keyboard shortcuts works very well (numlock, sounds, brightness, etc.)
    I have download the drivers for wireless LAN from the download page of the toshiba website (the french location, because I'm french).
    Uninstall the driver in w7 64, reboot, run the downloaded file (the driver) and the broadcom network adapter appears in w7 (Yes great!)
    My wlan led orange stills, Fn + F8 key does not change.
    I have uninstall (again), reboot, re install the setup.exe file and received this message: windows cannot find the file...?
    By pressing the Fn button the hotbar falls down (as before), so I'm looking utilities hotkey for 64 bit windows 7, but it exists only on the site for XP.

    What should I do to have the wifi works fine on my brand-new L630?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    What do you mean with bath a re-install?
    Have you installed recovery image, that you got with your laptop)? I want to tell you once again, factory settings?

  • 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: 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.

    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 comes with: error IDE #0, PXE-E61media test failed

    I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite pro A10.
    When I received it, it was working and being a noob I tried to install a network card and create a wireless network with my desktop using XP when it did not work I plugged my ethernet (from my desktop) cable on the laptop and flashed upwards with a small number can not? dll etc etc.

    Now I unplugged the ethernet cable and when I try to boot my laptop it comes up with:

    "ERROR IDE #0".

    Insert system disk in drive

    HI Tom,

    The error message that you receive indicate that your laptop is trying to start the connection to the LAN rather than from his own hard drive or a CD-ROM. I suggest that you verify that the boot sequence is specified correctly in your BIOS, or alternatively, you can press F12 during your market and you should get the boot device menu sequence appears so that you can specify that you want to boot from your hard drive.

    Kind regards

    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.

    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. :))

    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.

    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. ;)
