• Can be upgraded the firmware on my Satellite Pro A120 to accept SDHC cards

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 and use the slot for SD card frequently, however, the capacity of memory cards can sometimes be restrictive, is it possible to update the firmware for SDHC cards and if so, how.

  Hello

  Unfortunately not possible since it s card reader has NO firmware and it s a stand-alone device that has nothing to do with the BIOS (firmware) of the machine.

  So, if she can't simply do not support. :/

• 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. :)

• Satellite Pro A120 - impossible to get a PCMCIA card work

  OK, I have a problem with cardbus (xp SP2) of my Satellite Pro A120.

  I use the cardbus slot to add conections firewire via an IEEE 1394 cardbus card and have been doing this for a long time. The other night, my computer came into hibernation with the card still in the slot and still in use, and when I tried to use it the next day, the card wasn't working at all.
  So I thought that had died on me and has brought another, this one to be exact [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839314003].

  When I plug the new card into the slot, windows starts the installation add something new but can't find the driver, nothing on the CD provided, and it does not conect to windows update to find an ethier. Thus, the new card does not work and do not settle, it appears just with! next to pci device.

  I have searched all over the internet to find the driver, read the manual etc. I even did a fresh install of windows so that he could find the drivers but nope.
  The only thing I can think is the slot does not except 32-bit cardbus, but in my manual it says this:

Housing supports 16-bit pc cards, including pc cards 16 multifunction card and cardbus pc cards. CardBus supports a new standard for 32-bit pc cards".

• 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 - wallpaper flashed black

  Hello

  I have problems with my laptop. I have a toshiba satellite pro A120, but for the last two days, the bottom of my screen flashed black from time to time. Usually, it blinks for about a minute then works fine for a few minutes then flashes again etc.

  Here is a youtube link to a person having the same problem I'm having. No solution while

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=U6-q0eZ8ox8&feature=player_embedded

  All ideas are welcome.

  Thanks in advance,

  Shaun.

  Hello

  I agree with the user above. First of all, please check this work around on cable, graphics card, etc.

  By the way: what display driver you have installed right now? Sometimes I read here in the forum that no Toshiba display drivers problems, so I recommend you to install the latest version of Toshiba directly.

  Last but not least with an external monitor, you can check where the problem is: either internal monitor or graphics card but I think that, in both cases, you need assistance from an authorized service provider to swap the part.

• 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: 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.

• Question about installing WXP LAN Driver on Satellite Pro A120

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 (PSACIE) with Vista installed. I created a dual boot with XP Prof I seem to have all the drivers except the WLAN and LAN drivers. I have downloaded the LAN driver there is no setup.exe file. No problem, (I think, maybe someone out there knows differently?).

  I used Device Manager to load the file inf and intel pro/1000 PL network connection selected with the Hardware Installation Wizard. At the end the wizard said there was an error code 10 and that the device probably would not work properly.

  Can anyone help? It does not of course! By pure chance that I bought a port replicator, its LAN works with XP but do not work with Vista! (There is a hint here)

  Is it possible I can get details on the LAN device such as model, serial number? Any help appreciated gratefully.

  Hello

  Are you sure you used a right and support for driver LAN?
  Error code 10 is known to me and mostly it appears if the device cannot be started because the driver is not compatible

  Ok. To my knowledge, there are two different Satellite Pro A120:
  the unit of PSAC0E supports Lan Chip Realtek 8100 CL

  and the PSAC1E supports the chip Intel 82573 L (Vidalia)

  So, what phone do you use?

• 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.

• How to install the driver LAN for Satellite Pro A120

  In fact, my problem is that I didn't know how to install the driver on my Satellite Pro A120 lan connect net throug.
  The issue that there's no facility to do to complete the installation.

  And theres other question that I need the Ethernet controller

  My laptop was vista operating system installed, but I change and put Windows XP

  Hello

  LAN installation is very easy.
  First of all, you need the correct LAN driver.
  In order to download the LAN driver please visit the Toshiba driver page and choose your model of laptop.

  Once the LAN driver has been downloaded, you will need to decompress.
  Then you will need to access the Device Manager, choose the controller Ethernet (network cards) and must point to the place where the LAN driver was decompressed.

  Then finish the installation procedure.

• 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
