• 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 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!

• Satellite Pro A10 PSA15e - no more wireless Chip

  Hi all, I'm new to the forum so please be gentle with me!

  I was recently given a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 (PSA15e-01PJY-EN), unfortunately I did not to any recovery disks! (if someone could send me a copy of the diskette of recovery for this machine, I'd be over the Moon!)

  However, I recently tried to install windows xp home with the disc and used the key on the bottom of the laptop.
  Installation ran ok, but all of a sudden, he cannot see the port intel LAN.

  I ran the likes of Belarc, Device Manager and AIDA... all of a sudden since formatting, nothing can detect the WiFi chip, is this a problem with the fact that I do not use the recovery discs?

  I've not disabled in the BIOS, nor can I actually see it in the BIOS.

  Someone at - it suggestions?

  Thank you very much

• 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 - no wireless network card are not not in Device Manager

  Can you help me - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10
  Model no PSA15E-01PFQ-FR
  Series No Y3602494G
  Windows XP Pro

  On the front of this laptop is a wireless switch - this switch is set on, Windows XP Pro can't find any wireless device - Windows Device Manager shows not all adater wireless. You can advice please - what do I need to install driver - this laptop supports wireless?

  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?

• How to install the adapter wireless network in Satellite Pro A10

  I'm trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was active wireless, but when I switch the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no card listed under network adapters wireless (so I guess not).

  Is it easy to install a wireless adapter (i.e. can I do it myself or I must be done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend what card I should by (or any other that I should avoid)?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  According to the specification of the specifications your A10 Pro Satellite is WLAN ready. In notebook specification it has listed two compatible WIFI cards:
  PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802. 11a / b).

  I don't really know if you can use some faster wireless network cards with the g standard. You may be lucky and someone will post here results update WLAN card.

  I'm not sure 100% where the WLAN slot is placed but check it please under the lid placed close to the battery.

• Wireless Lan Card for Satellite Pro A10

  My Satellite Pro A10 never had a map of network wireless installed when new. I really want to add - it now to the machine in order to prolong his life, what kind of card need me?

  Hi robermd,

  If you are Satellite A10 was never equipped with wireless network card, you need to check if it s equipped of two antenna cables WLAN before you buy a wireless network card. The antennas are behind the plastic screen and usually under the keyboard you can find.

  If you n t have such WLAN cables you can t install a wireless network card.

• 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.

• 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.

  Good bye
