  Hi people anyone can help?

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, which is not used for a long time,
  When I plug in and turn on I get nothing except the lights on the front of the laptop, green power telling me light the d/c plug is plugged in,
  loading light but the power of the light on the front of the battery flashes green twice, then amber once and the fan runs but nothing else at all.

  Could someone tell me wots wrong and how to fix it please?

  Hello

  Indicator of DC IN ((deuxieme left) lights green when the power adapter DC voltage.
  If the adapters output voltage is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange.

  ((Troisième de gauche), the power led lights green when the computer is turned on. If you select the "sleep mode" indicator flashes (a second to two seconds) while the computer shuts down.

  If you notice other behaviors of indicator, then it means that something might be wrong on the motherboard. It is not possible to say what could be the problem here, but first, you should check out the bars of memory. Try to turn on the device using a single module.
  If this is not enough, then a malfunction of the motherboard would be possible.

• How to turn on a microphone on a Satellite Pro A120-161?

  Data sheet: Satellite Pro A120-161, already Win XP Pro, now Vista Business.

  The microphone works in Skype, etc. The sound is coming from a computer and record is fine (I can play stuff I recorded before).

  But I can't get the computer to play the sounds from the microphone in real time (as for karaoke). There is no table for the device called a micro mixer, I can not resolve, or reactivate it (it doesn't work in the two OS' are). He was made easily on the other laptop I've had...

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I'm sure that you use the external mic because according to the specifications of your Sat Pro anyone internal. I can't test it on my laptop but I'm sure that you will not be able to send sound to the speakers directly.

  Have you used an internal microphone or external on your previous laptop model?

• 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.

  Can someone guide me through the replacement of the keyboard on this device please?

  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!

• Satellite Pro A120 - screen flickers when you activate another monitor

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, who has a problem with the computer screen to turn off image poor qulity (looks like interference) when you use the function key and activate a second monitor, but the image on the 2nd monitor is fine. I also discovered that the second monitor doesn't have to be physically connected to the main display having the problem, as soon as you activate the second screen the problem starts. However, as soon as you disable the second monitor, the computer screen looks perfect.

  I updated the BIOS of these two and the graphics driver, but the problem still persists.
  Any ideas?

  Why don't you tell us what portable external that you use?

  Have you tried to put the good resolution of monitor 1 (s notebook LCD) after the switch to the external display? I can imagine LCD becomes bad resolution and it must be changed.

  Please play with all the display settings. I used my cell phone so many times with different external screens and I was always able to configure this works well in any mode offered.

• 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 - clock system is slow

  Hi all,

  Since a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).
  Usually I realize it after turning on the laptop, sometimes even when the operating system is woking! I tried all types of virus/malware/spyware scan, system restore point. I guess the problem is the used battery from the RTC. Is it possible even if the data is correct?

  Thanks in advance

  Marco

  > Sice a few days on my Satellite Pro A120 Windows XP system clock is slow (the data are correct).

  I'm afraid I n t m understand what you mean by system clock is slow.
  The BIOS clock shows incorrect data or time?

  Have you tried to change the time in the BIOS and then to check the time in Windows XP?

  Do this!

• Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

  Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
  Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
  Have you tried the following:
  Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
  It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
  It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
  I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
  I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
  I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
  I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
  I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  > It turns on but not at all to see clear
  This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

  It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

  Good luck! :)

• 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 hangs sometimes

  Hello

  I've had my Satellite Pro A120 for a little over a month now, and during that time, he has frozen maybe five or six times. This is the type of crash response system, which completely stops can be recovered by using the Task Manager to end the process, and the only cure is to turn off and on again. When this happened, the laptop did not turn all particularly demanding programs, maybe Word, iTunes, or Mozilla Firefox.

  This could be due to overheating? The Unit feels often hot to the touch around the vents on the left side, but not excessively hot. Is there a utility I could use to see if all the material is defective?

  I ran the Toshiba PC diagnostic tool, but it says the hard drive, processor and memory are all very well.

  Hello

  Well, it's not easy to say why it happened.
  Yes, your suggestion is good. Something like that could happen if the temperature is too high. But if the laptop overheats the operating system should stop the unit automatically without warning.
  However, to avoid overheating, don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for a good air circulation.

  But also the software problem could be a reason for any frizzing. Then the OS on my laptop s brother frisottés several times. I just installed the fresh WinXP and since then everything is ok.

• 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? ;)

• Re: Satellite Pro A120 - CD error appears

  I have problems with a laptop Satellite Pro A120. When the laptop is turned on it is possible to open the CD/DVD drive, so I know the drive functions.

  "However, when the laptop is turned on, the computer displays the screen"in touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA"for a long time, and then the screen goes black and the message CD ERROR" appears. Drive D and does not show on explore.

  I found the instructions to remove LowerFilters and UpperFilters of
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318.

  by running "regedit", but during the restart, the laptop the problem remains.

  I tried also tried to launch the "Product recovery" CD from an external hard drive, but restarting does not account for the CD, but, once restart is completed, it can be seen that it that the external drive was saved.

  When the computer is disconnected on "memory which cannot be read" message is displayed.

  I would be very grateful for a quick response.

  Hey,.

  To be honest, if the CD-ROM error message appears before Windows starts, there seems to be a hardware malfunction. So maybe the CD/DVD drive is not recognized correctly, and therefore the Toshiba screen appears for a long time.

  Remove the caps and lowerfilters won't help you, it is a software based only

  You should look for a new CD/DVD drive. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country. They can offer you a compatible player. :)

  See you soon
