• "ALERT: System Protection failure ' on my Satellite Pro A120"

  Got home laptop today, switched on and straight away I am facing a BACK style screen saying:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Anyone know what the hell it means, and what could be the password? I never put no password on this point, except one for the connection to Windows, which I know would not that and it was not.

  Hello

  This laptop has a preinstalled Toshiba security help.
  You have set no password with this utility?

  I m not 100% sure what means this failure.
  Maybe a HARD disk password has been set.
  It would be a value case because without the HARD drive, the HARD drive password is inaccessible and unusable

  However, if you didn t fix anything, I would recommend is to ask the dealer to phone for the password.
  Maybe he's got something or you will contact the ASP in your country

• Tecra A8 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  He y. I have Tecra A8 EZ 8313. yesterday, when I turn it on I have white screen and message like:
  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password:

  nothing works. I can not even get into the BIOS.
  I don't know what this is... nothing found in internet.

  Maybe someone have the same problem here if some can help me solve this problem.

  Please help :)

  Hello

  It looks like a BIOS problem and it seems that the password of the BIOS would be necessary.
  Looks like you need to contact Toshiba ASP and ask them to reset the BIOS defaults and clear the password.

• Qosmio G40 - ALERT: System Protection failure

  I used my Qosmio G40 - Vista with no problems since I bought it in November 2007.

  A week ago, he started acting funny. Whenever I turn it on, I get a black screen with the following message:

  ALERT: System Protection failure
  Password =

  Now need a password...
  I had never put no password to the BIOS level, or the level of Windows, so there is no password I could enter.
  So I'm stuck, because the laptop does not accept the ENTER key without any password entry.
  I also tried standard passwords like "Toshiba" nothing helps.

  Can someone help me with this issue?

  Best regards.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you are talking about BIOS password.
  First of all; There is no default password BIOS.

  I have no idea why the laptop asks you a BIOS password if you didn't put in the past, but the point is that it s is not possible to delete or modify the BIOS password without knowing the old password.

  In this case only the Toshiba ASP may be able to remove the password.
  So I have no other recommendation on contact an ASP in your country and by asking guys to remove the password.

• Satellite Pro A120 - clock system is slow

  Hi all,

  Since a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).
  Usually I realize it after turning on the laptop, sometimes even when the operating system is woking! I tried all types of virus/malware/spyware scan, system restore point. I guess the problem is the used battery from the RTC. Is it possible even if the data is correct?

  Thanks in advance

  Marco

  > Sice a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).

  I'm afraid I n t m understand what you mean by system clock is slow.
  The BIOS clock shows incorrect data or time?

  Have you tried to change the time in the BIOS and then to check the time in Windows XP?

  Do this!

• Dynabook SS 1700MY - ' alert: System protection USB key set failure.

  Toshiba dynabook SS 1700MY displays "alert: System protection USB key set failure.

  So here's the story:
  I accidentally tickled my friend that is using his laptop and he spilled his Coke into the laptop.
  I told her to turn it off, and then he wiped his spill in the keyboard.

  Then, when he tried to open it. He opened Fortunately, but it says:
  Alert: System protection failure.
  Set the USB key:

  Me and my friend do not know what it is. Just reply to us if you know what is this 'USB key '.

  We do not know what it is, so please tell us if you know what is the USB

  Dynabook SS 1700MY is not known to me... I guess this isn't a European model for Toshiba laptop...

  The error message looks like a BIOS password. It seems that the security of the system has been compromised.

  Unknown BIOS password can be removed from the laptop user but can be removed by the Toshiba authorised service provider available in your area.
  So you will need to return the unit to an ASP for a password reset.

• Satellite PRO A120 BIOS PASS RESET BIOS RESPONSE CODE.

  Hello
  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120. Has long been asking me a password when starting.

  The BIOS password prompt:
  ALERT: System protection failure.
  Password =

  I found a place that is the problem of BIOS and should be updated. Official toshiba ASP 67 fees plus costs of delivery to reset the BIOS. Somehow, I find that pressing TAB, CTRL, Shift and ENTER the Code response request.
  The ASP can provide this code for free?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  To be honest, I have no idea about these codes. Try contacting Asp ask them if they offer this code, don't think not if someone can answer this question in this forum.

• Re: Satellite Pro A120: cannot select an option on the recovery disk

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has recently been faced with the "alert: System protection failure! "password:" problem that it turned up on some BIOS password unknown on its own in the middle of normal operation.

  I got that fixed local Toshiba ASP.
  But now, when I was about to reinstall the Windows cos she had slow, the possibility that the recovery media normally give to just format the first partition become invalid.

  In the settings dialog box, the option is always there but it cannot be selected by clicking on it (from the color of the background showing this option not valid currently)... which means that the only selection (selected by default) is format all of the 38 GB... I don't want to do.

  Someone knows what is wrong and how can I solve this problem.

  I assume that you are using Windows XP and the restore CD also contains the XP operating system.
  It s also interesting if this option has worked in the past?  :|

  However, it s really mysterious that the solution cannot be executed and unfortunately I do not know why it happened

  In the worst case, you'll have to back up data from the HARD drive and format the whole HARD drive :(

• Qosmio F10-100: startup problem - the system protection failure

  Hello

  A few days ago, I started my Qosmio QF10-100 and an error, it says:

  Alert: System protection failure.
  Password =...

  I 'google' the error nothing helps, the solutions are not compatible with this type of laptop and I'm not going to pay someone to fix it if it's just a simple password.

  I would like to know what is the default password, because I'm 100% sure that I have not put it, or if there is other ways to restore. My guarantee is only from 2004-2005, it is out of the question.

  Looks like a rare problem, hopefully it's fixable.

  Thank you
  Matt.

  Hello

  For me, it looks like a BIOS password has been set. Maybe I m wrong, but in my opinion it should be set a BIOS password or maybe a drive HARD this password which is hard to say.

  Unfortunately, if you n t know the password you will not be able to start Notepad :(
  But buddy don t worry, the local ASP would be able to remove a BIOS password.

  No matter if you warranty is valid or not. You should contact the guy in your country and have to ask for help.

  I'm not sure how much it would cost but I n t thinks it might be expensive.

  Goodbye & good luck

• Operating system on Satellite Pro A120 freezes

  I've recently updated bios to the most recent available. After that, I rebooted and now windows freezes at the point where it seems to load driver ACPI. Then after about 10 seconds, fan gets boosted to 100% of the speed and then it will not go further. I also tried to reinstall the system, but once it is done with the progressbar that both vista and xp to run before the installation, it freezes again.

  Last thing I tried was to run Windows XP (security error) which works very well. To me, it seems that the bios has a problem any. Anyone know what can be the problem?

  Hello

  Are you sure you used a good BIOS for a series of good laptop to 100%?
  The European driver Toshiba page you will find two different sets of Satellite Pro A120.

  Satellite Pro A120 PSAC0E the BIOS 3, 30-win is available and for PSAC1E, you will find a 3 BIOS, 40-win

• Satellite Pro A120: Need all drivers and the easyguard for Win 7

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, that I bought in 2007 and I am very satisfied.
  It had Windows Vista professional, but I have recently installed Windows 7 and it is where my dilemmas has started.

  My touchpad is not working properly, its scrolling feature works, to be specified. I installed the latest driver for ALPS touch pad, but the problem remains.

  Then, when I checked the system, I noticed two devices listed and it says that there are no drivers installed for them. I can't know what devices are and where to find the drivers.
  They are here:
  1st: ACPI\TOS6208\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!
  2nd: ACPI\TOS620A\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!

  And my third problem is about the sets of Toshiba programs and public services.
  My laptop came with Toshiba Easyguard, with protection against theft and other programs of Toshiba, and now I've lost all. Is there a way I can get them?

  I must say that I have no intention to return in Windows Vista, if any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you all for your responses and help!

  Hello

  In my IMHO the additional features of touchpad and other devices don't work correctly because the installed drivers are not designed for Win 7 and are perhaps not fully compatible with Win 7.

  Who knows if drivers Win 7 would come out for series Sat A120 we will see
  At that time I didn t find Win 7 drivers specific for A120.

  But if there are some beta Windows 7 drivers on the US page:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Maybe you are lucky and some drivers running on your A120.

• Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD burner does not burn audio and video files

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro A120 with a cd/dvd burner MAT * a uj-8415. It works very well with data Brüning, but...

  When you try to burn the MP3 files or video files on DVD or CD/r or any type of audio file, it suddenly gives me an error message telling me that the cd can no longer be used.

  I tried hole Sonic (RecordNow), through Nero 6, and also directly by dragging and dropping files, but all was in vain. This MATI * a uj-8415 machine has also made the same error while burning a DVD double layer.

  Again, the unit reads all types of CD and DVD and writes also all types of files with the exception of the audio and video.

  Can you help me please to solve this problem?

  Hello

  I know that some mp3 files and audio are protected against copying and burning on different CDs or DVDs so could not work? ¦

  Other reasons why you can't write these files to CD or DVD is simply a problem of compatibility between the STRANGE and the CD or DVD.
  According to my experience, not all CD or DVD is supported, and these compatibility issues are not really rare.

  I also have another idea.
  Have you heard of burning of problems caused by the bad registry entry? I mean the upper and lower filters...

  Please check this doc MS:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  .. .and see if it helps.

• On my Satellite Pro A120 possibly defective keyboard controller

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-223 dual core and that's my problem with the keyboard.

  I get this irritating message at the start with BEEBS, where it says PXE - E61 Media Test Failure among others. Then I opened it everything and put everything back once again, the problem seems to go away at first and then comes back, this time, when everything starts up; the letter a? NA? is continually and automatically entered on the research that I click on.

  I later bought a new keyboard, and all kind of went well until the 3rd day with my new keyboard. The problem is back!

  I did research on my problem online, and realizes that the keyboard controller may be at fault here. I don't think the keyboard is defective, it is brand new and I typed hardly something with her, I also took extra precautions when connecting the cable to the system.

  If it is the controller, should what steps and procedures I take in order to define precisely the problem, or perhaps to resolve?

  I don't have a warranty on this machine, and I'm not too eager to spend huge sums on a new motherboard, but I'm ready to if it is necessary.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi mate,

  the first error message "PXE - E61 Media Test Failure" is more related startup, so another order of boot (HDD-> CDROM->-> NETWORK FDD) probably solves this problem.

  With regard to your controller keyboard problem: I think that the cable must be realigned PROPERLY since these errors come from a misaligned keyboard cable or a really damaged keyboard controller (where I am skeptical that the keyboard controller is broken).

  I know that you have taken additional precautions when connecting the keyboard, but this time took a few extra super uber mega special care when connecting it. Especially during the connection, check that the small black hook that keeps the cable is properly glued on the port.

  Would appreciate feedback on your part...

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A120: How can I identify the disk - bar codes?

  I had my hard drive stolen at work with all the things my company on... The person was taken, but the police want to show me its mine, everyone in my office has the same confidential files.

  My question is: among the labels of codes bars on my hard drive... is one that would connect to my computer?
  Or is there something that can be sound from my computer?

  The computer is a satellite pro A120

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I'm no expert, but I think that something like that does not exist. HARD drive is the product of mass and also one Extensible parts on every laptop.

  I must say that the previous user has the right idea. If you use the password to protect your operating system, it may be the best evidence for you.

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E, who owns a DVD player, I tried to write on a DVD RAM, and he says the copy is write protected, I checked help and it says to install the driver of DVD from tools and disk utilities, but I can't find the drive with the rest of the bits provided with the computer when I got it earlier.

  Is there anywhere I can download this driver?
  Thank you

  Hello
  One question; What operating system do you use? Looking for XP or Vista drivers?
  The Toshiba driver page provides all the necessary drivers. There is a new update 5.20 - B70A DLA . CA? OS independent and Ca s? s a good idea to install it.
  This is the problem for writing or formatting DVD-RAM disk.

  PS; The DVD-RAM driver is also available but only for W2k
  The XP and W2k DVD-RAM driver is available by satellite Pro A120 PSAC0E
