  A I had a problem of driver somewhere? I think it's the 945 chipset.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest, it's really hard for us, users, to say what causes this problem and I think you should test more yourself

  Anyway, you have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  You should also check if all Windows updates are installed and if you have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.

• Satellite Pro L870-18R - no boot after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  Bought the "SATELLITE PRO L870-18R" alongside a "Intel Core i7-3740QM 2.70 GHz FCPGA988 L3 6 MB 4 Cores CPU 2.70 GHz" to upgrade the processor and get a beautiful machine.

  Boots of machine as expected with its stock i3, but white LED will blink once and no post when upgrading the processor is applied.
  Is their a bios that will support this CPU, otherwise what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

  Is their a bios that will support this CPU

  BIOS updates are not released to allow new media of CPU, but the BIOS updates are released to fix possible problems for laptop...

  If this is not the case, what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

  Still is it that manufacturers of mobile phones do not support updates on own laptops... This means that there is no further information on the possible processors and supported.

  However, a new processor usually requires a BIOS and chipsets support... so in case you want to make these updates (of course only at your own risk) then you will need to use a CPU that is supported by the Intel Chipset. But there is no guarantee that this notebook would functions even if you use a processor that would be supported by the chipset...

• Why the Satellite Pro A120 fails to bootload?

  I am trying to unravel Pro A120, a friend he will not run the boot load sequence.

  I tried to start the CD-ROM and HARD disk by sequencing to boot in the BIOS and you can also select one of them to start using the function key.

  All that happens is that I have a comparable to blinking cursor to a command prompt and wait for the loading of boot sequence start.

  HARD drive is recognized correctly by the operating system installer?

• Satellite Pro L670-18F - pilots missing after updating BIOS

  I have a Satellite Pro L670-18F and I recently updated the BIOS to version 1.5, recommended by the site, but now my internet speed is VERY slow and I have some devices in the Device Manager without drivers related to the bios (from Googling) and so I realized that the bios has been a problem.

  Does anyone know this laptop came with to downgrade the BIOS version? Also, if I reinstall windows will I receive a new bios version or will it would not affected?

  Hey,.

  Did you download and install the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop? Satellite Pro L670-18F belongs to the series of PSK3FE AFAIK, so have you chosen BIOS for this series of model?

  In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Just press F9 key if you are in the BIOS Setup.

  If you reinstall Windows, the BIOS will not be affected. BIOS and Windows are different, you will always have the latest version of the even you change your operating system.

• No sound of Satellite Pro A120

  Hello

  I recently lost all sound on my Satellite Pro A120. I am running XP SP2 and tried to uninstall and reinstall the Raltek drivers. Before that I went through the windows help program, but that only told me that everything was working fine. Can someone help me please.

  *@Allen237*
  Tecra 9100 is oldie! Don t compare this notebook with a series of Satellite A120.
  The sound does not work because the Yamaha audio driver does not support the Microsoft SP1 and SP2! This is the reason!

  *@jeffjames*
  To get the sound on the XP all Microsoft patches and hotfixes must be installed! Use the MS update page to get all the updates!
  Very important are the audio patches; KB835221and KB888111

  Remove all audio drivers, install patches and then after restart the compatible audio driver!

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) does not start after upgrading RAM

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me here, I recently bought a Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC0E) and decided to upgrade the RAM. I bought a stick of 512 MB of curries with the following specifications: DDR PC2700 200-pin 333 Mhz SODIMM (64 x 64).

  However, the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this, but after you insert the RAM into the available slot, the computer laptop wouldn't boot, and instead, I had the flashing sequence on the LED from 2,3,3.

  I was told it might be a problem matching, then tried to remove the original RAM and booting with just the new stick, still the same error. I tried it in the slots and still no joy. It starts very well with the original 256 MB of RAM, but refuses to take the new RAM.

  Are there any known issues? Can anyone suggest something that I can do wrong? I followed the usual steps of upgrade to remove all power cables and the battery before the upgrade, but still no joy.

  Hoping that someone is able to help!

  Hi James

  You simply have bad memory modules and is not a compatible uses.

  > the first problem I encountered was an alignment problem. A little effort and handling solved this,

  This should not happen! The right modules can be inserted without any problem of alignment!
  Handling can damage the module!

  In my opinion, you should use another and supported the RAM module.

  To my knowledge, you can use the PA3512U-1M1G (DDR2-667 1 GB Memory Kit) or (PA3411U-2M1G) DDR2-533 1 GB
  The two should be compatible.

• Installation problems after upgrade the HDD on Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)

  Hello

  I've recently updated my Satellite Pro A120 with more memory and a larger hard drive. The memory I installed is 2 x 1 GB Module (DDR2-667) and the product number of the hard drive is MK2035GSS.

  My computer recognizes both of these upgradges, but since their installation I was able to install all applications (for example Norton Security etc) on my laptop - they seem to spend 1/2 to 3/4 of the way in which the installation process and then just quit smoking and become insensitive or an error message appears. I even tried to put the product recovery disc to try and erase everything and start over but even that does not load in entirely. Any ideas of what could be the cause? Also, I get messages of constant error on the screen and it blue screens and restarts frequently.

  If anyone has any ideas on what could be the cause, I would be extremely grateful for any help!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  just a question, than to the manufacturer that are the memory modules? And similar modules? Or do you have that you have installed other modules later.
  We can exclude the HARD drive because it doesn´t HARD drive installed. they do not cause bluescreens or similar. In very rare cases, the disk HARD COULD cause errors, but then the pladder or BSOD´s must be REALLY damaged and in your case, the HARD drive is brand new.

  It might be, that memory modules are not compatible with your machine. To avoid these incompatibility issues, you must use the modules of well-known such as kingston and toshiba brands. (I'd rather kingston, they work like a charm in my A100 Sat :))

  Would appreciate comments on your part.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A120: After upgrade Vista control volume does not work

  Hello, can help them.

  I have a satellite Pro A120, and because I used the upgrade disk to upgrade to Vista, I was not able to control the volume button on roller on the front of my laptop.

  I see that someone has posted a repsonce for someone who uses an A100 series, but value added package for the A120 doesn't include this utility.

  Thank you

  David

  Discovered since I posted this question, by downloading the latest sound card driver, I can now control my sound on the roll switch on the front of the machine, but there is no display appears on the screen, as he did with XP.

• 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)
