• Satellite A60-106: How can I remove the old CD/DVD player

  Hello
  I have a Satellite SA60-106 and want to date my DVD/RW X 1 on a 8 X DVD/RW.
  How can I remove the old DVD to replace with a new one.

  Please help if you can email [email protected]

  Hi, Malcolm

  For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

  At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

  I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

• 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: How to set a resolution of 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 on external monitor

  Hello

  I'm considering buying an external to use with my Satellite Pro A120 monitor. The laptop has a Mobile Intel 945GM chipset and it doesn't seem as if I can choose the resolution that I would need a widescreen (1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050), with its menu of graphic properties.

  Is it possible to put one of these resolutions so that I could use an external display, or is simply not an option?

  The drivers supplied with the monitor would be likely to help him?

  Hello Thom

  Unfortunately when you have factory settings you probably won't be able to use these resolutions. I put t know if it's because of preinstalled driver or limitation technique graphics card.

  You can try to install the driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card and see if it will work (Intel or ATI). Just testing everything.

• Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

  I installed windows 2000 on an A120, the system is fully packed and service updated before I even start to install the necessary drivers, I am unable to restart the system. I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

  The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?
  The drivers of Toshiba W2k for Satellite Pro A120 have been published and are ready!

  But please pay attention to the Toshiba drivers.
  There are two different sets of Satellite Pro A120, with different drivers W2k!
  After choosing the good laptop and download the drivers please follow the proper installation order that is indicated in the document "installation instructions"! Check it!

  I think that if you follow this guide line everything works and runs correctly. Good luck

• 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 L750-A218 - how easily / safely remove the MMC card

  Hello

  I just tried the MMS and inserted a MMC console.
  I have a question now. After eject devices.

  How to remove it properly. I tried pushing gently so that it would make the ticking and make out but that has not worked. I didn't force and ruin the slot. I can get out, but I have to raise the laptop.
  On the user manual. Those are the steps for removal:

  1. open the icon remove the device safely and eject media on the Windows taskbar.
  2. tap media memory and click on the left Touch Pad button.
  3. Enter the media up and out of the computer to remove it.

  I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
  Also, tell me if pushing the MMC will be out or not.

  Hello

  What card insert you? MMC (MultiMediaCard)?
  Usually you will need to enter the card and pull it out of the computer s slot to remove the media but when you insert the support of memory in the wrong direction, you will not be able to remove

  > I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
  In most cases the task bar contains a small icon showing that the media card is inserted...
  We must therefore stop this read/write process before removing the card...

• Satellite Pro A120 - Jerky empty reading after installing new HARD drive

  Just installed a new hard drive in my Satellite Pro A120. Made a full new install Vista, installed all the drivers but video playback is choppy/jerky. Even google earth is juddery. It didn't use to be like this with the original hard drive.

  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 P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
  I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
  What can I do to recover my windows?

  Sorry for my englich!

  Thank you

  Hey Phillipe,

  Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

  1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
  This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

  2 form factor
  You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
  existing drive.

  3 speed
  Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
  with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

  The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

  Kind regards

• My cd/dvd drive has disappeared. All trying to solve the problems of the code 19 appears. How can I get the cd/dvd drive F?

  my cd/dvd drive has stopped working.  He said after a repair code 19.  How to restore the drive?

  Hello

  19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
