• Satellite Pro A120 - battery not found

  Hello

  Technical details: I have a Satellite Pro A120, purchased about four years, running MS Vista. A year ago I noticed my battery has been virtually exhausted and bought a new battery (this one, to be exact: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028NJAL2]). Since last year it worked very well and I have no reason to suspect that the battery itself might have a problem. Most of the time, I have the laptop plugged in, in any case.

  However, recently (last few weeks, I think) I started to have occasional problems when all of a sudden I am notified that the battery can not be found - or rather, there is no actual notification, but the power icon in the changes of system tray with a small red on it X, and then the computer hangs. The touchpad still works and I can move the pointer on the screen, but absolutely nothing else says and there is no way out next to a hard reboot. Sometimes, if I catch the icon change from time to time and unplug the power cord (force the computer running on battery), it actually corrects issues. Not always, though.

  Attempts to seek similar problem descriptions online were not very useful; most of the time, the description does not exactly fit my situation or the Seraph blames the battery or the operating system (which, in my case, to be as the wrong answers, since I said the battery generally works well, and I had the same OS from the start). Also a search of these forums did not have no useful result. I'll call my go - to computer store and see if their engineers have all the answers or if it's just the time to take the old horse pasture and find a new filly, but thought that perhaps the good people on this forum may be able to offer advice (additional).

  Thanks in advance,
  Yael

  I think that no one will be able to tell what's wrong exactly; I think it is s battery issue but of course, no one can say it it s battery maybe motherboard or just a software problem. OPERATING SYSTEM.

  Usually, the software should not affect the functionality of the battery and I think that it s more material associated.
  The laptop is a little old and the battery seems to be old too so I think that the battery needs to be checked first

• Satellite Pro A120 - does not start with 4 GB of memory

  Hi all

  I'm new here so please be gentle!

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, model No. PSACOE - 037014EN and you want to increase the memory 512 MB present. I tried 2 different sets of memory 4 GB (2x2gb), but the machine does not start. I tried the different modules together and on their own but still no joy.

  Where I'm going wrong? This model will not take 2 GB memory modules?

  Any advice will be appreciated.

  Best regards

  Dr. Feelgood

  Hello

  Before changing something about your hardware, please make sure that if the computer supports the new pieces of material and, therefore, you can also consult the user manual.

  Anyway, I checked this and this laptop can only be upgraded to 2 GB maximum. This means that you can use the module of 1 GB in each slot and * no * 2 GB in each slot.

  So please bring back the memory modules and buy 2x1GB. It will work.

• Satellite Pro A120 does not turn on - blinking green

  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.

• Satellite Pro A120 will not start

  Sorry for the bad English!

  My computer does not start.
  I want to install a BIOS but plugging it into another computer, but I don t know how?

  I think it s not a faulty BIOS, but I think that the virus on your laptop caused this problem.
  The error message says it all:
  + Malware accesses the memory read +.
  + bios problems +.

  If you are not able to boot up the laptop, or on the CD recovery, (XP, Linux) bootable CD or HARD drive, then it s a serious problem and you should certainly contact the ASP in your country.

  If you are a lucky man then the ASP technician would be able to flash the BIOS ROM by using a special procedure and the laptop should work again.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120 does not pass the POST

  Hello

  I'm a character 'J' on the upper left side of the screen immediately after the post (power on self test)?
  It will not go any futher.

  I got into the bios and everything seems fine here, I can boot from a cd, but that's all.
  Hard drive turn but not start.

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  If you are able to access the BIOS.
  The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS? You see the details of the HARD drive?
  If so, then that would mean that the HARD drive is ok and BIOS can see it.

  I don't know why J appears on the screen
  Have you seen other error messages or notifications?

  You said that you can boot from the CD. Have you checked if you boot the Linux Live disk?

  This doesn t require installation on the HARD disk, theoretically you should be able to start the distribution of Linux.

• Satellite Pro A120 - do not have the original installation CD - how can I fix it?

  I booted up my laptop as normal a day and now have a black screen saying "Windows could start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM you can try to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the original configuration of the CD-ROM."

  I get a disk of the old company, that I bought the laptop but the computer scientist needs a reference number of the CD because it has loads for different laptops and won't give me wrong one!

  Help!

• 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: 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 - error function keys not working and affected

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04Q00VEN.

  A couple of weeks, I started to have a dialog "Error of TouchED" to come to the start box (containing the message: 'Thotkey' recovery has no code error 0 X 00031402, 0x00000002) and at the same time the function keys did not work.

  I spent several hours as a result of the wide variety of questions that have been posted on this forum and elsewhere regarding this problem with computers laptop Toshiba, but nothing has worked. I reinstalled all the drivers from my initial backup disk, installed new drivers on the Toshiba site, updated the bios and restored the system to date before the problem started to occur. I also can't find Thotkey.exe everywhere on my machine.

  Can anyone help with this? It seems to be a common problem, for which he doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. Any useful response would be really appreciated.

• Satellite Pro A120: After upgrade Vista control volume does not work

  Hello, can help them.

  I have a satellite Pro A120, and because I used the upgrade disk to upgrade to Vista, I was not able to control the volume button on roller on the front of my laptop.

  I see that someone has posted a repsonce for someone who uses an A100 series, but value added package for the A120 doesn't include this utility.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A120-10W - function keys not working not not from the cloth of hard drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A120-10W under Windows XP Pro SP3, and just had my hard drive erased, because of virus. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't use function keys to change the brightness etc. I looked in various forums help however most seem to give answers for Windows 7 or vista. 7
  Can someone please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As you can see in other threads, you need special drivers/tools for the keys FN get their work because there is no standard Windows driver for these keys.

  In any case, you must download the common Modules like Akuma wrote. After installing the key should start working again.
  You can download the tools on the official website of Toshiba.

  If you have problems with the installation or it succeeded, just after a few comments. ;)

• Not able to install the common module on satellite Pro A120

  Hi guys:
  I recently reinstalled xp professional on my satellite pro A120. I could download and install the main drivers of http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com and my phone is functional. However, I did not all sounds and (F6 & F7 and toggle) function keys not working, even after insalling the sound card. I read some of the posts on this forum and found that I needed insall the 'common' module to make them functional. I downloaded the driver from module common too, but when I run the Setup it starts initially, but fails both the configuration is complete.

  The same thing happens also with a few other drivers as saver of energy etc... I was not able to run the Setup program for the common module & driver power saver, basically, nothing happens after I have the respective installation.

  Can anyone help please?

  Pravesh

  As far as I know on the download page you can find the installation instructions with exact installation document order how to install drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
  You have installed all the stuff after this installation order?

• Satellite Pro A120: DVD/CD burner does not burn audio and video files

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro A120 with a cd/dvd burner MAT * a uj-8415. It works very well with data Brüning, but...

  When you try to burn the MP3 files or video files on DVD or CD/r or any type of audio file, it suddenly gives me an error message telling me that the cd can no longer be used.

  I tried hole Sonic (RecordNow), through Nero 6, and also directly by dragging and dropping files, but all was in vain. This MATI * a uj-8415 machine has also made the same error while burning a DVD double layer.

  Again, the unit reads all types of CD and DVD and writes also all types of files with the exception of the audio and video.

  Can you help me please to solve this problem?

  Hello

  I know that some mp3 files and audio are protected against copying and burning on different CDs or DVDs so could not work? ¦

  Other reasons why you can't write these files to CD or DVD is simply a problem of compatibility between the STRANGE and the CD or DVD.
  According to my experience, not all CD or DVD is supported, and these compatibility issues are not really rare.

  I also have another idea.
  Have you heard of burning of problems caused by the bad registry entry? I mean the upper and lower filters...

  Please check this doc MS:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

  Completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  .. .and see if it helps.
