• Satellite Pro A100 - how to get the Wlan connection works

  Help!

  I'm a total beginner, and my problem is I can get a connection without wire only when I'm really close to my BT hub.
  My son has a laptop and gets a good connection anywhere in the House and even outside.

  He thinks I have a dodgy wireless adapter, this could be the problem?
  Can I fix it myself?

  Maybe download a new driver?
  Any suggestions would be much apreciated.

  TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO A100

  Hello

  Your ad is not really useful.
  I mean that there is no detail about your problem
  You should first check if the laptop supports the wireless network card.
  This can be done in the Device Manager.

  Usually the WLan card must appear in Manager devices-> network adapters.
  If it s are not it is that the WLan card is not built in or the driver WLan is not installed. If the WLan driver is not installed then you should see yellow exclamation (or unknown device).

  But if the wireless network adapter is listed correctly then you should check if the WLan notebooks have been enabled. In order to activate the WLan you have to press FN + F8 and you put the switch on IT until the small LED flash.

  Finally, to configure the WiFi connection (right name WLan, encryption settings, etc...)

• Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD-RW drive does not work

  Hello: the dvd/CD-RW drive does not work. apparently it has been disabled somehow! Any ideas on how I can turn it back on?

  Have you tried the Device Manager and it says it works normally!

  Any ideas please?

  Thanks :)

  > apparently it has been disabled somehow
  I put t think that the disc has been disabled!

  How someone or something should turn off the drive? You have disabled the drive? I don't think so!

  You said that the drive appears in Device Manager. So I guess that the drive is enabled and is recognized by the OS.
  You are getting error messages or what's wrong?

  Perhaps the reader can read or burn CDs or DVDs.
  This happens if the lens of the drive cannot calibrate properly and can not handle the inserted media.

  Maybe the replacement drive is required!

• Satellite Pro P100 can not get the screen to work again

  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

  I bought a monitor to use when I am in the office (it's a LG Flatron L225WT), installed the software that came with it and plugged. Nothing seemed to happen, then in Toshiba HWSetup, I changed my power on the screen 'LCD + Analog RGB'.

  To cut a long story short, the external screen works perfectly now, but I cannot access the internal screen, even after changing the power supply on the display to 'Automatic Selection '. The Fn + F5 key does not appear to have any effect at all.

  I must have inadvertently done something to mess up the computer. Can anyone suggest how I could reset it back?

  TIA to all who can help you!

  -Laurence

  I put t know what laptop you have and don t know what OS you are using, but it seems that you have managed to set the external monitor as the main screen.
  You should change in display properties (right click on desktop-> properties)

  Somewhere in the settings, you should try to score the internal display (1) and should mark use this device as the primary monitor

  You won't find any similar settings or this will not help then set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. In this case all settings will be reset!

• Satellite Pro A120 - how to identify the sound card

  Hello

  don't know if you can help me on this one, I have more or less the same problem.
  Bit long-winded, but we broken rececently, very clever thieves, stole a number of point with my computer with disks of Toshiba bag. (LOL) the lap top was next to the bag on the desk, they left.

  Since then contracted a virus which means I had to completely format the hard drive and installed XP.

  No problem, but now I can not find the audio drivers right. Q. How can I identify the sound card on the top of the Tower?

  You n t know what sound chip has your laptop?
  On the Europe of Toshiba page you can find the drivers for this model of laptop.
  I can see that the Realtek sound card driver has been released and so I'm 100% sure that the sound chip was made by Realtek.

• Satellite Pro A120-185 - need Vista Recovery disk - never get a

  Hello, my trusty Satellite Pro C: is completely filled, and so I would wipe and do complete a new installation of Windows.

  It came with VISTA on it when I bought it several years ago.

  It's a Satellite Pro A120-185 and the operating system only disk I got with it was just something to 'upgrade' disc of Vista.
  I bought and paid for Windows Vista with the laptop, thus so I wouldn't have a license can I reinstall?

  Please note that I am an advanced PC user, I'm not looking for ways to reduce the space that my household is good and I uninstalled everything I do not use or need.

  I just want to be able to clean the laptop and reinstall Windows Vista... is it going to be possible? (I don't see why it shouldn't be because Vista came with the laptop!). Please tell me where I can get the windows disk since?

  Hi dude

  Read the other discussions on this topic even here in the forum.

  You didn t get this disk because you create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
  This was mentioned in the manual as well!

  However, here you can order the recovery disk that you didn't create yourself.

• Where can I get the adapter for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello

  Anyone know where I can get a dc for a Satellite Pro A120 Jack.
  These seem to be quite rare models.

  I have spent hours searching if google and portions of websites, but just can't locate it.

  Anyone?

  Hello

  All compatible Toshiba laptop parts can be ordered from the local ASP.
  The service allowed in your country could order such a part of Toshiba if it would not be in stock.

  But as far as I know the Satellite Pro A120 needs a * PA3092U-1ACA * AC universal adapter that takes in charge 15 V, 4A, 60W.

  Try to search for this part number on the net and I m you can find deals.

• Satellite Pro A120 - 169 PSAC1E: Impossible to install the 64 bit OS

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro A120 (169) model PSAC1E-04X024BT and I inserted 2 x DA-PA3513U-1M2G (Dane-Elec 2 GB SODIMM PC2-5300) memory, so a total of 4 GB of memory.

  I know to have 4 GB in a BONE, you need to run a 64 bit OS.
  But my processor is an Intel Centrino DUO T2050 1.6ghz (Intel Core DUO T2050).

  After reading the manual I was convinced that I am able to run a 64 bit OS... but the time of its installation, the Setup program will not continue... as my CPU is 32-bit...

  Is this true? Or do I have to change something in the BIOS? (Version 3.4)

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Yes, it true s that your processor supports only 32 bit and not 64 bit.
  Here, you check only the Intel specifications posted by redhawk.

  Sorry mate, but on this laptop, you can only use a 32 bit OS.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120 - I need recovery disk

  Accidentally all trying to clear up my computer deleted user accounts and so XP has been totally screwed and wouldn't let me in, even the administrator account it says did not exist (which I think is impossible), so I gave up and did a hard drive erase computer that I was about to throw in the trash as a lost cause...

  SO, what I really need, is the disc of recovery for Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, I very foolishly went and lost (look around these forums, it seems I'm not the only one!).

  Anyway, the computer running Windows XP Professional and the laptop model number is: PSAC0E-006008EN

  VERY ANNOYINGLY TOSHIBA NO LONGER SUPPORT LAPTOP DISKS OR TO SELL FOR HER RECOVERY!
  (I hope that is read by an employee of Toshiba!).

  Can anyone help or suggest where to get a recovery disc please? I tried Ebay and multiple searches on google but no assets came.

  Message was edited with a mug shot by: jonbad

  By the way, can someone please explain why Toshiba offer all the necessary drivers for the operating system if they do not provide you with the operating system itself - i.e., they give you a disk image which has already drivers preinstalled on it... Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, unless you had to find your own copy of windows XP, which probably won't be not work with the serial key Toshiba windows XP first and then try and download and install each driver? I do not.

  Hello

  I think that you have tried to order the recovery disk by using the online store of recovery site.
  You will not be able to order using this service, because the only Vista recovery disc could be ordered using this service.

  In your case, I would ask an ASP in your country for this disc.
  And notes; There are more FSA in your country as only.

  Then perhaps you should contact several service points.

• Re: Satellite Pro A120 is no sound

  My father made me a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-0QJ052EN the other day off a friend.

  He used to have Windows XP, but a friend of my father installed Windows 7. When I try to play music or watch videos audio meter at the bottom right shows action but not his fate.
  I tried to download the new drivers and I googled the problem, but I can't get the audio to work.

  I'd appreciate any help I need sound for a school project.

  > watch action but no sound.
  When you open reading devices in sound properties option speakers are set by default?
  You can hear sound if you are using the headset or headphones?

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

  It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

  FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
  I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
  I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
  I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
  I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
  I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
  I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

  If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

  In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

• Satellite Pro A120 - Maximum capacity of the HARD drive?

  HI - new here. I have a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A120
  Model PSAC1E-04H00VEN number

  It's less hard drive. I have a 160 GB spare hard drive but when I try to install this using the recovery disc, the operation simply sticks on the "Please wait..." message. ». The specification for the A120, I noted that it supports drives of 40 to 120 GB. Which is strictly true and so why can't I just install this 160 GB drive?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Usually the 160 GB should be no problem because the laptop supports the SATA interface and there is no limit of ability so that you can install each HARD drive.

  Be interesting to know what HARD drive you have installed exactly and if you tested on another computer because the HARD drive itself could be the problem and not on the computer. If the disc is defective recovery disc can t be installed so that you get an error message.

• Re: Satellite Pro A120-189 - RAM who do I take for the upgrade?

  Hello everyone

  I want to upgrade the RAM for my Satellite Pro A120-189, model number PSACIE-05V021EN, as the laptop is quite slow (I use Vista 32 bit business).
  I was wondering what is the maximum RAM for my laptop, and how compatible RAM module I might add (for now, I have 1 GB of RAM).

  Thank you in advance for your help!
  Best
  Husband

  Hello

  I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. This is why you must use two modules of 2 GB with DDR2 (533 MHz) technology.

  You can get new RAM to each computer store or authorized service provider. I have good experiences with high-quality Kingston modules.

• Satellite Pro A120 - no power supply the AC adapter

  Hello

  I recently had some problems with powering the my Satellite PRO A120. Initially I was not getting any power to the laptop of my adapter. I bought a new card on ebay that seems to have solved the problem as my laptop turned on once more, even if I could use it only for a few minutes on the stand alone mode as it would drain completely after a few minutes. After a few weeks, the adapter has stopped working. This led me to believe that my battery might be the problem that caused the adapter switch defective.

  I then bought a battery of reco and tried to see how long he would stay on without the adapter - even once the laptop only lasted a few minutes before I die

  I can only use my laptop with a power adapter borrowed right now. The battery is the cause or is there an underlying problem with memory or the motherboard?

  It will be expensive to fix or should I try to buy a battery and the original power cord and see if it works

  Your opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated.

  > After a few weeks, the adapter has stopped working. This led me to believe that my battery might be the problem that caused the adapter switch defective.

  It is a nonsense. The battery does not affect the power adapter!
  The battery loses own performance during use of the laptop and sooner or later, the battery will discharge.
  This is nothing unusual happens to all batteries

  In your case, it could be a defective battery and AC adapter malfunction
  It is very rare that the two parties would begin to malfunction at the same time, but it possible s

  However, in my view the laptop must be tested using the new battery and AC adapter.

• Satellite Pro A120 needs new motherboard

  Hello, I need a new motherboard for my Satellite Pro A120 laptop because I stupidly spilled a whole pint of orange on squash...
  It has been dried and cleaned but still no power, just a little orange light flashing...

  I talked to Toshiba and they said it probably needs a new motherboard...
  I've looked everywhere but I can't find a...

  can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The motherboard can be ordered from the ASP in your country, but the new mobo will be cool a small fortune because the mobo is a laptop computer cheap party.

  You can also search on some internet like Ebay or similar Web page s to get a mobo of second hand maybe you could find a second hand Satellite Pro A100 with good motherboard.

  see you soon
