• Satellite Pro A120 - fan run all the time

  OK, so this is a strange...

  I have a satellite Pro A120. It works with the fan on all the time and sometimes goes on a mayor go slowly (which I think can be reduced to overheating).

  Operating system is Ubuntu and I installed the tool of sensors that tell me about the minute the temperature is 100 degrees c and the next one is 16!

  I suspect that it is perhaps that the heat sink is full of fluff, but I can't find a guide step by step to dismantle the machine, clean it and put it back together again.

  Can anyone help with ideas or resources?

  Thank you very much

  Nathan

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the unit to clean the fans.
  You can use a jet of compressed air which helps to remove dust.
  I did it several times and it helped!

  Try it!

• 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 - 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.

• 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 cannot start when the printer is connected

  Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

  I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

  However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

  Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

  It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

  Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

  Thank you

  Adam.

  How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

• Satellite Pro L670-103 screen is dark - external monitor ok

  Hello

  Screen goes black in my Satellite Pro L670-103 while playing games. It is not completely off, but very very dark.
  System is activated and works while its happening. No flickering, changing colors.
  On the external monitor (TV via HDMI) everything works fine (so I guess that the GPU is very well).

  The beginning I had to restart the laptop and screen was once again but now it does not work and I have to wait a few more hours a sound goes on again just by itself (im leaving laptop on).

  I only use the approved oryginal drivers.
  System Windows 7 pro 64
  I guessed it might be the display inverter, but someone from the point of laptop repair told me that because my screen is RUN there is no converter and problem is with the screen itself.

  I spent hours reading various forums and UPS has been my best guess.

  Hello

  I think that its problem of converter FL.
  The FL inverter controls the backlight of the internal display.
  I think I get m with my suggestions because the external monitor looks ok.
  So it may not be a driver issue not a GPU problem

  Get in touch with the service in your country then must check this part

• Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

  I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
  I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

  Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

  How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

  Hello

  > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
  Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
  If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

  In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
  There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

• Satellite Pro C870 can run on the 5 GHz band?

  My laptop model Toshiba Satellite Pro C870 1E2 can run on the band 5 GHz with Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Tried to ask this question to Toshiba, but it seems to be a technical problem it so impossible to transmit my question for them.

  Hello

  The frequency of Wlan depending on the WLan card.
  I think that the laptop was equipped with WLan RTL8723AE Realtek card that supports the 802.11 standard B / G / N standard

  5 GHz is only available using 802.11 A or N

  802.11 N standard works on 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz but 5 GHz is available ONLY if the WLan card would support additional one 802.11 standard; That is to say 802.11 A / N.

  But Realtek RTL8723AE doesn t support 802.11 has and therefore the 5 GHz are not possible for this WLan module.

• Satellite Pro L450D - light ripple effect on external monitor

  I hope someone can help me. You just bought a new Pro L450D of Satellite and also bought a screen separate LCD (Viewsonic) to use with the laptop.

  When you use the lcd screen there are a slight ripple effect on the bottom when you look at the screen that is not pleasing to the eyes. This is not the screen that has a problem, as I have tried on other portable PCs and its fine. Have also tried another screen on the laptop and the same problem occurs. However, this problem does not the screen of the laptop itself.

  Anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem.

  Thank you

  Hi Ndev,

  Have you tried another cable for your external monitor and what (cable) connection you use exactly?

  Are you running the factory settings or you have installed your own OS?

  First of all, I would recommend updating the display driver and BIOS. The two you can download on the Toshiba site.

• How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

  Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

  It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

  Thank you.
  Gary

  Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
  Is it only a CRT monitor available?
  The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

  Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor

• Satellite Pro A120 - fan runs at full speed

  I've had my laptop for a few years, and for about a week now when I first turn on the fan runs at full speed. I restart the computer immediately and fun runs normally. I suspect overheating or dust problems since it works at full speed as soon as it is powered but not after a reboot. I left at full speed for a long time to see what is happening - I is not too annoying. I usually restart immediately.

  These laptops have the sensors of dew or something? I guess the House is cooler just now.
  Advice anyone?

  Ritchie.

  Hello

  I doubt the s sensor issue or something like that
  Cooling modules are controlled by the BIOS. The fan table that contains all the details about the features of the cooling module is stored in the BIOS and I recommend the default BIOS settings first

  So, start the laptop, press F2 and access the BIOS.
  Press F9 to get the BIOS default settings, and then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
  Of course, the cooling modules must be verified if the vents are not blocked
  The dust is more a cause of such symptoms
  Remove dust using a jet of compressed air can be useful in your situation

• Satellite Pro A120 adapter works in the USA?

  I'm leaving on a trip to the United States on business, and I don't know if I have to buy a new network for my laptop power converter.
  What is the standard converter that comes with the work of A120 in the States? Or will puff up my laptop if I try to use it?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you can use it also in the USA.
  The adapter supports the voltage 100-240 v and s 4A, 60W.

  It s adapter a universal AC and must operate in the U.S. but I think you need an adapter because the fittings are a little different.

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro A120 - how to replace the CD/DVD drive?

  Hello

  My DVD/CD drive does not work much more and I want to replace it, but cannot find a way how to remove it from the drive. Anyone able to help me with that? Which screws I need to remove and where? Thank you!

  Hi caribman,

  As much as I know the ODD of replacement is not so easy. The drive is secured by a screw and to remove this screw, you need to remove the keyboard and the other parties as well.

  In my opinion, this should be done by a technician of laptop because it s a delicate procedure. It is not as easy as on the desktop, so I would contact a professional help

• 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.
