• Satellite Pro A120 - DC-in is flashing orange, why?

  My Satellite Pro A120 DC - in flashes orange once I plugged my universal charger.
  I read my user manual. It is said it can be caused by an abnormal voltage or a power problem but I don't know if my charger is the one bringing or there is a power problem.

  The voltage is correct and I tried to plug in charger everywhere but still DC-flashes orange. In fact, I can t use my laptop when the charger is unplugged because its battery lows down so I can t use my laptop at all when he can load t.

  It makes me think that maybe the battery is the problem. In any case, what is the problem at the start of DC-in flashing orange.

  Please help me what to do. Thank you

  Hi jane18.

  > once I plugged my universal charger.
  And what happens if you use the AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter that came with your laptop?

• 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 needs new motherboard

  Hello, I need a new motherboard for my Satellite Pro A120 laptop because I stupidly spilled a whole pint of orange on squash...
  It has been dried and cleaned but still no power, just a little orange light flashing...

  I talked to Toshiba and they said it probably needs a new motherboard...
  I've looked everywhere but I can't find a...

  can someone help me please?

  Hello

  The motherboard can be ordered from the ASP in your country, but the new mobo will be cool a small fortune because the mobo is a laptop computer cheap party.

  You can also search on some internet like Ebay or similar Web page s to get a mobo of second hand maybe you could find a second hand Satellite Pro A100 with good motherboard.

• 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. :)

• 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.

• Fan of satellite Pro A120 continue every time that peripheral USB is plugged into

• 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 boot disc

  I'm trying to install xp on my Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E), which is under Vista Business (somehow) 1 GB of RAM. I tried to set BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM, I tried the setting to boot from the CD-ROM using screen splach (F4) options. The snoring of CD player and I can hear it trying to read the disc (and ongoing); However, the system hangs on the screen 'Press any key to boot from the CD-ROM..' black and does not reach the blue screen with white writing. If I let the points to continue across the screen I just get the boot options for Vista or memory diagnostic utility.

  The optical drive is correct: I can open the disc and run Setup (without the install option) within windows.
  The disc is not serious: I installed the XP Pro SP2 on other PCs without problem

  I thought it might be the problem with SATA driver, but after downloading the drivers and compiled a disc using nLite, I realized my mistake - if it will not boot from the CD what well to put the drivers on the CD?

  We have several A120 at work and I can't get an any of them to start from a win XP Pro SP2 disk!

  Now, I think there must be a setting that prevents the downgrade from Vista to XP: I don't have the know-how to install windows from DOS or I would try to format the drive and put the files on the hard drive and then installing that way.

  Any help would be appreciated... Vista Business can be good with 3 GB of RAM, but not with one. How did the Toshiba when they put this package together?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I doubt that this question has something to do with the SATA drivers. You only need the SATA drivers on the blue screen with white letters where you can choose if you want to install XP (press enter) or you can choose the repair console (press R).
  But on this screen, you will need the SATA drivers. Otherwise, the HARD disk will not be recognized.

  However, in your case, I'll try another XP disc. I know the drive works in another computer but maybe your ODD does not work properly, and so it can t read any disk. Then please try another.

  In addition, you should try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Maybe it works.

  Have you tested another bootable disk?
  Check this please!

• On my Satellite Pro A120 possibly defective keyboard controller

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120-223 dual core and that's my problem with the keyboard.

  I get this irritating message at the start with BEEBS, where it says PXE - E61 Media Test Failure among others. Then I opened it everything and put everything back once again, the problem seems to go away at first and then comes back, this time, when everything starts up; the letter a? NA? is continually and automatically entered on the research that I click on.

  I later bought a new keyboard, and all kind of went well until the 3rd day with my new keyboard. The problem is back!

  I did research on my problem online, and realizes that the keyboard controller may be at fault here. I don't think the keyboard is defective, it is brand new and I typed hardly something with her, I also took extra precautions when connecting the cable to the system.

  If it is the controller, should what steps and procedures I take in order to define precisely the problem, or perhaps to resolve?

  I don't have a warranty on this machine, and I'm not too eager to spend huge sums on a new motherboard, but I'm ready to if it is necessary.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi mate,

  the first error message "PXE - E61 Media Test Failure" is more related startup, so another order of boot (HDD-> CDROM->-> NETWORK FDD) probably solves this problem.

  With regard to your controller keyboard problem: I think that the cable must be realigned PROPERLY since these errors come from a misaligned keyboard cable or a really damaged keyboard controller (where I am skeptical that the keyboard controller is broken).

  I know that you have taken additional precautions when connecting the keyboard, but this time took a few extra super uber mega special care when connecting it. Especially during the connection, check that the small black hook that keeps the cable is properly glued on the port.

  Would appreciate feedback on your part...

  See you soon

• Re [lacemant 'Master' IDE Slimline Optical drive Satellite Pro A120

  Hello

  I am looking for a replacement CD for a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 (laptop) drive.
  Been reading about this for awhile as it does not work I tried all IDE slimline drive replacements.

  From my research, it requires a slimline IDE optical drive is "rider" to master.
  Like its slimline there are select no riders while I am aware that they are made as master or cable.
  They cannot be changed by flashing the BIOS or to make a weld, or they can be bought like that.

  As I need a new in any case I would rather buy one that is guaranteed to be compatible.
  Does anyone have an idea how to tell if slimline optical IDE drivers come as master or cable select?

  Or a place to get the spare parts?
  I am also in England.

  Fine thanks
  Dan Gent

  > If only the people who make the readers have access to the file, I could use to Flash the ODD with?
  Perhaps. Always is it that you need a compatible software/firmware that would change these settings.

  > What is an ASP? Active server page ;^)
  Authorized Service provider/partner

  > Is there any where that I could buy a master drive set?
  You could try to buy a second hand car which has been mentioned in the user manual.
  I downloaded from the Toshiba page and found these drives:

  Panasonic UJ-841BJTJ-J DVD
  Panasonic UJDA770TB-A
  TEAC DV - 28TH - RT4
  TEAC CD 224TH-NT4

• Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

  I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

  I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

  I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

  And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

  In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

  8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

  Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

• Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello
  I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
  Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.
