• 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.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cooling fan runs constantly

  Hello

  Bought a satellite pro A120 "Intel centrino duo" in January and for the last two weeks, the fan runs continuously. Even when the cold portable OS, it runs complete but even just word processing or done yesterday it runs very hot. I need to access the fan to have a look for dust etc but I couldn't for access!

  If anyone knows how that would be great. Either that or somebody can suggest any way to stop the laptop gets so hot. I tried on mode low power - without change, and it also works on different surfaces, but no change.

  Any help much appreciated. Thank you

  Hello Dougie

  In my opinion you should not do much and check anything because your laptop is new and under warranty. If something is suspicious to you, please contact your dealer local or much better is to contact directly the authorized services.

  Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

• 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.

  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!

• What is the correct way to "downgrade" from Vista to XP on Satellite Pro A120?

  I want to downgrade to XP. I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E. How should I proceed? TIA.

  Hello

  First of all see if all drivers are available for this machine.
  You can check this link:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  http://209.167.114.38/support/download/ln_byModel.asp

  Then download the drivers and burn them to a CD/DVD. Back up your data on a DVD or external HARD drive.
  After you have done all these things, just put the CD in your drive and install XP and then install all the drivers and you'll be lucky.

  Please ask, if you have any questions...

• Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

  I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
  Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

  But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

  Does not seem to want to go.
  Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  One question; Why are you doing this?
  I mean why you want to open the notebook?
  Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
  If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

  The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
  Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.

• 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

  I don't know the situation in Australia, but I can't imagine Toshiba ceased production of this battery.
  Put this number in Google and you will find many shops online in the world where you can order this battery.

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E) - TV problem

  Hello
  My laptop "Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)" computer does not connect to any type of TV (digital or analog). I tried many different kind of connections to SCART-VGA to VGA-HDMI. I think something is wrong with the VGA output because apparently the Intel graphic card supports the TV/monitor output as the software driver suggests. However, I can't connect the laptop to an external monitor rather easily and without hassle.
  Someone there has the same problem and if so, do you have a solution to this problem (everything!).

  Thank you

  KAV

  Hello

  As far as I know NOT ALL Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E are equipped with the video output jack!
  I see you are using an external monitor connector!
  This port can ONLY be used with external display (screen) or a projector, but NOT with the TV!

  The TV can be connected to the s-video port that is not available!

• 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

  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.

• Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

  I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

  I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

  I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

  And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

  In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

  8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

  Win 7 would be the best choice in this case
