• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1A-073004) replacement battery

  I have a 3-4 year old Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-073004) who needs a new battery as the current within 10 minutes of the available battery.

  The current battery in the laptop's manufacturer PA3285U-3BAS a Toshiba 6 cells Li-ion primary battery.

  However, after contacting several local Australian retailers, they tell me that Toshiba has discontinued this particular part number.

  Are you able to advise me if this is indeed the case?

  If so, could you suggest the number of part of an appropriate substitute for the main battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello

• What model exactly is my Satellite Pro A120 and what RAM last?

  Copied from the underside of the computer:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A 120 model number PSACOE 007009EN

  The operating system is Windows XP Home Edition.

  It has 512 MB of RAM installed, but I would add an another 512 MB - or even another 1 GB, well with the process of 1.46 GHz, there is probably little to gain.

  I know very little about computers. I understand that if it's an A120, it needs DDR 667 PC 5300 2 200 pin SODIMM; If it's an A120/007 (which seems possible from the above model number), then there are DDR 533 PC 2 4200 SODIMM 200 pin.

  If in doubt, it would do any harm to buy 667 DDR - would be "backward compatible" with DDR 533? And it would work with the existing RAM if this happens be DDR 553? I hope he would; simply works at the speed of the RAM down.

  Forgive me if I seem to "disappear" - I don't know too much about my way around the forum yet, but will try to check from time to time.

  I also write another thread on startup programs - I guess it's better to stick to one main question by thread.

  Hello

  According to this page, you can use the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=42661&ft=m&St=3
  The point is that DDR2 667 MHz and 533 MHz DDR2 modules can be used.

  But everything depends on the bus (FSB) front. If the FSB would support 533 MHz max then the memory faster 667 Mhz modules should be pointing down and would go only with 533 mHz

  Hope I could help you.

  Hi caribman,

• 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 battery problem

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite Pro A120 and is a battery problem a month ago.
  The battery is not new, but recently changed, 6 months ago.
  Until a few weeks ago, it lasted about 2 hours when full load, until this time
  suddenly dropped 30-40 minutes.
  In addition, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's a few extra vibrations,
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  I initially though that there was a problem with the battery or the battery contacts, but they seem ok.
  I tried to unload it in my laboratory of the company with a power resistance: resistance absorbed 1A continuously for more than 3 hours. As the specification 4400mAh battery, I would say that the battery is ok.

  Is it possible that I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  The battery stress test above seems to show that the charging process is ok. So the problem might be with
  the provision of monitor or battery power.
  Someone at - it experience of similar problems and maybe a solution.
  Or perhaps a work around? As excluding the battery monitoring and auto turn off

  Thanks in advance
  Concerning

  > Is it possible I have a problem with the battery inside the pc management circuit?
  Perhaps, but that's just a guess only a cellphone technician may provide an exactly the answer to this question.

  > Furthermore, sometimes the power of the laptop turns off when it's some additional vibration.
  for example, if I put it on a table without the maximum protection.
  In some cases, these, is not possible to turn on the laptop, unless I have remove the battery and put it back in place.

  It is very strange, I want to say if the contacts of the battery and the battery would be ok, this symptom shouldn't its sounds strange for me, so maybe that's the key why battery don't not lasts more than 30-40 min

  However, I think you should try a new battery before checking the motherboard.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Usually something like this should be done by a technician because the replacement of the keyboard could cancel the validity of the warranty!
  Anyway.
  To set the keyboard with the 2 screws that are hidden beneath the thin cover above the F1, F2, etc. keys

  -Insert the tip of your finger into the slot on each side and remove the door-keyboard.
  -Remove the 2 screws securing the keyboard.
  -Lift the upper part of the keyboard while freeing up the hook and turn the keyboard
  face down on the palmrest.
  -Remove the 1 screw and plate of keyboard.
  -Disconnect the keyboard cable from the CN3230 connector on the system board and
  Remove the keyboard.

  All that s. But as said above, if you have no experience and don't want to lose the warranty, contact the technician!
