  • Satellite Pro A120: Need all drivers and the easyguard for Win 7

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, that I bought in 2007 and I am very satisfied.
    It had Windows Vista professional, but I have recently installed Windows 7 and it is where my dilemmas has started.

    My touchpad is not working properly, its scrolling feature works, to be specified. I installed the latest driver for ALPS touch pad, but the problem remains.

    Then, when I checked the system, I noticed two devices listed and it says that there are no drivers installed for them. I can't know what devices are and where to find the drivers.
    They are here:
    1st: ACPI\TOS6208\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!
    2nd: ACPI\TOS620A\2 & DABA3FF & 1 driver not installed!

    And my third problem is about the sets of Toshiba programs and public services.
    My laptop came with Toshiba Easyguard, with protection against theft and other programs of Toshiba, and now I've lost all. Is there a way I can get them?

    I must say that I have no intention to return in Windows Vista, if any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you all for your responses and help!

    Hello

    In my IMHO the additional features of touchpad and other devices don't work correctly because the installed drivers are not designed for Win 7 and are perhaps not fully compatible with Win 7.

    Who knows if drivers Win 7 would come out for series Sat A120 we will see
    At that time I didn t find Win 7 drivers specific for A120.

    But if there are some beta Windows 7 drivers on the US page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    Maybe you are lucky and some drivers running on your A120.

  • Satellite Pro A120: Reset password disk HARD known through the BIOS

    Satellite Pro A120SE
    HARD drive password is known - no problem.
    According to Toshiba, the HARD drive password can be reset in the BIOS.

    By following the instructions in the documentation, a new password is entered, but a 'beep' is returned and it is clear that the password has not been changed.
    A support call was placed about 2 months there with the dealer who couldn't solve the problem. The dealer contacted Toshiba support helpdesk who told them that HARD drive password reset should be possible and they had no explanation or solution.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As much as I know the HARD drive password cannot be removed or reset.

  • Satellite Pro 4030 boots with white screen - works OK on an external monitor

    My sat 4030 pro, Vibrio W98SE, boots to a white screen. When I press the lid closer, or use Fn/F5 it turns black. It works fine on an external monitor.

    Hi Robert,.

    If your screen is displayed correctly on an external monitor, then it indicates that your chip graohics still work correctly, then you the problem must be with the LCD itself, the FL inverter or the connecting cable to the main Board. I would recommend that you contact an authorized Service partner who can perform other tests to diagnose the fault.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the installation of the graphics driver for W2k

    I installed windows 2000 on an A120, the system is fully packed and service updated before I even start to install the necessary drivers, I am unable to restart the system. I once, install as recommended drivers that I have problems with the graphics driver because it will not be installed because it requires a reboot and then I can't install new programs that require a restart that the driver has not been installed correctly.

    The laptop is a Pro A120, age of 1 week and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support I changed the o/s even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop, because they provide the drivers.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Did you use and install the drivers from the Toshiba driver page right?

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A120: cannot select an option on the recovery disk

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has recently been faced with the "alert: System protection failure! "password:" problem that it turned up on some BIOS password unknown on its own in the middle of normal operation.

    I got that fixed local Toshiba ASP.
    But now, when I was about to reinstall the Windows cos she had slow, the possibility that the recovery media normally give to just format the first partition become invalid.

    In the settings dialog box, the option is always there but it cannot be selected by clicking on it (from the color of the background showing this option not valid currently)... which means that the only selection (selected by default) is format all of the 38 GB... I don't want to do.

    Someone knows what is wrong and how can I solve this problem.

    I assume that you are using Windows XP and the restore CD also contains the XP operating system.
    It s also interesting if this option has worked in the past?  :|

    However, it s really mysterious that the solution cannot be executed and unfortunately I do not know why it happened

    In the worst case, you'll have to back up data from the HARD drive and format the whole HARD drive :(
