• Satellite Pro A120 - no power supply the AC adapter

  Hello

  I recently had some problems with powering the my Satellite PRO A120. Initially I was not getting any power to the laptop of my adapter. I bought a new card on ebay that seems to have solved the problem as my laptop turned on once more, even if I could use it only for a few minutes on the stand alone mode as it would drain completely after a few minutes. After a few weeks, the adapter has stopped working. This led me to believe that my battery might be the problem that caused the adapter switch defective.

  I then bought a battery of reco and tried to see how long he would stay on without the adapter - even once the laptop only lasted a few minutes before I die

  I can only use my laptop with a power adapter borrowed right now. The battery is the cause or is there an underlying problem with memory or the motherboard?

  It will be expensive to fix or should I try to buy a battery and the original power cord and see if it works

  Your opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

  > After a few weeks, the adapter has stopped working. This led me to believe that my battery might be the problem that caused the adapter switch defective.

  It is a nonsense. The battery does not affect the power adapter!
  The battery loses own performance during use of the laptop and sooner or later, the battery will discharge.
  This is nothing unusual happens to all batteries

  In your case, it could be a defective battery and AC adapter malfunction
  It is very rare that the two parties would begin to malfunction at the same time, but it possible s

  However, in my view the laptop must be tested using the new battery and AC adapter.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

  OK, so this is a strange...

  I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

  Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

  I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

  Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
  You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
  I did it several times and it helped!

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

  Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

  I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

  However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

  Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

  It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

  Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

  Thank you

  Adam.

  How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

• Satellite Pro A120 - lines running on the external monitor refresh

  OK I just want to know if anyone else has this problem if they fixed

  I connected an external monitor to an A120 you can see the lines of refreshing the screen running, I changed the screen and power cables to make sure it is properly grounded and drove up the refresh rate all the way, but it happens still I was wondering if anyone else has the problem, so I know I'm not nuts

  (Yes, I did an upgrade driver and I tried another monitor the only thing what is the laptop but I don't want to get engineers out if it's something I can solve)

  Hello

  Can you please test it on a few different monitors? Perhaps your external monitor is not one that suits more.

• How to pass the Satellite Pro A120 adapter?

  My laptop runs on the battery, but now it is only 3%.
  I get a message to pass to an electrical outlet? I don't know how to do this?
  The AC power led is off.

  Help! This is a new laptop.

  I really wonder about this question usually you must simply connect the adapter to the laptop and the device should automatically switch to the main supply and should begin to charge the battery.

  Have you tried to remove the battery and use the laptop with the power adapter? Check it!

  Maybe the power adapter is faulty?  :| ….
  In this case, you must contact the ASP in your country for a control. Probably, the adapter must be replaced.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro A120 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  My DVD/CD drive does not work much more and I want to replace it, but cannot find a way how to remove it from the drive. Anyone able to help me with that? Which screws I need to remove and where? Thank you!

  Hi caribman,

  As much as I know the ODD of replacement is not so easy. The drive is secured by a screw and to remove this screw, you need to remove the keyboard and the other parties as well.

  In my opinion, this should be done by a technician of laptop because it s a delicate procedure. It is not as easy as on the desktop, so I would contact a professional help

• Satellite Pro A120 - sound works but function button and volume button are not

  Hello

  Although the sound on my laptop works well, I can no longer on / turn off or adjust the volume by using the function keys or the sound button/wheel (before the laptop).

  I think it can occur after you uninstall a boot program (controls when everything starts during startup).

  Any ideas how I can get it working again?

  Hello

  Why you n t try to adjust the operating system in the early time before you uninstalled the application?
  I think this might be the best way to get this rerun

  Otherwise, try to reinstall the Toshiba 3.23.1704.U for Win XP controls

  Greetings

• Satellite Pro A120 - how to identify the sound card

  Hello

  don't know if you can help me on this one, I have more or less the same problem.
  Bit long-winded, but we broken rececently, very clever thieves, stole a number of point with my computer with disks of Toshiba bag. (LOL) the lap top was next to the bag on the desk, they left.

  Since then contracted a virus which means I had to completely format the hard drive and installed XP.

  No problem, but now I can not find the audio drivers right. Q. How can I identify the sound card on the top of the Tower?

  You n t know what sound chip has your laptop?
  On the Europe of Toshiba page you can find the drivers for this model of laptop.
  I can see that the Realtek sound card driver has been released and so I'm 100% sure that the sound chip was made by Realtek.

• Satellite Pro A120 does not pass the POST

  Hello

  I'm a character 'J' on the upper left side of the screen immediately after the post (power on self test)?
  It will not go any futher.

  I got into the bios and everything seems fine here, I can boot from a cd, but that's all.
  Hard drive turn but not start.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  If you are able to access the BIOS.
  The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS? You see the details of the HARD drive?
  If so, then that would mean that the HARD drive is ok and BIOS can see it.

  I don't know why J appears on the screen
  Have you seen other error messages or notifications?

  You said that you can boot from the CD. Have you checked if you boot the Linux Live disk?

  This doesn t require installation on the HARD disk, theoretically you should be able to start the distribution of Linux.

• Satellite Pro A120 - do not have the original installation CD - how can I fix it?

  I booted up my laptop as normal a day and now have a black screen saying "Windows could start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM you can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM."

  I get a disk of the old company, that I bought the laptop but the computer scientist needs a reference number of the CD because it has loads for different laptops and won't give me wrong one!

  Help!

  Hello

  You can try the Win PE:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment

  This is a Lite version of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

  Otherwise, you must reinstall the operating system.
  You can use a MS windows disc clean other drivers Toshiba and tools are located on the page of the European driver Toshiba

• Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

  I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

  I was hoping you could advise me.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Hello!

  Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
  Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

  However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
  But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck
