Satellite Pro A200-16YT - update wireless adapter card for 802.11n

Satellite Pro A200-16YT (PSAE1E) with Windows XP Professional SP3 from the East.
I tried to increase my existing 54 Mbps wireless network speed by replacing the Atheros AR5007-EG existing with 802.11n 802.11a/b/g more quick adapter.

The Atheros driver is v9.2.0.439 (08/04/2011) it's later. I tried to install an Azurewave AR5BXB72 (Atheros AR5008) as a substitute, but without success. As well as trying the standard Windows wireless configuration, I used the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which confirms that the card and the driver are installed and activated, but the radio does not, so no there is no association/connection to the wireless network!

Reinstall the original AR5007 works without any problem. If someone experienced similar problems or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello

Not sure about this Wlan card but I read in the forum that some people had similar problems, allowing the new card Wlan.

Check this thread for example:

It seems that the problem is related to the assignment of the WLan card pins.

    Please on A) the correct updated version needs to B) process

    (A) the machine came with Vista installed, but it has been ranked towards the bottom to XP works on Win2003/XP network.

    The current bios to V5.20 do update to 2.60 - win 32 (vista) or win 5.60

    (B) Toshiba FAQ - FAQ ref: TRO0000000b07 shows how to upgrade the bios unfortunately it does not list the satellite Pro A200 - then what is the procedure - thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    If you want to update the BIOS, you need version 5.60. Are the other version for Vista and 5,60 only one is for XP and if it s the right one for you.

    The BIOS update procedure is quite easy. The update is based on Windows, which means that you can update it on Windows. So to extract all files from zip archive and run the exe file. Then updated your BIOS.
    But before update you, close all programs running even your AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - update CPU and chipset

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) with a processor Intel Celeron M 540 (1.86 GHz) and a Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family.
    I upgraded the RAM, but it's just not enough performance for me as its limited to 2 GB.
    I know that Toshiba will not admit it, but I've heard people have updated this type of processor before. I can't afford a new laptop altogether but will settle for upgrades I get.

    My questions are;

    Are there companies in New Zealand that can upgrade my processor and/or my Chipset?

    I also noticed that space to the second HDD has no media or in any case to add another HARD disk, is it because of my laptop or is it a manufacturing defect?

    Are there also companies who can add these mounts to my board so I can have a second HDD?

    First, the chipset is not extensible. It s soldered onto the motherboard and can't be exchanged. In addition, on the CPU upgrade, you should read this article that I founded in the area of the FAQ:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    The point is that the new processor must be supported from the motherboard, BIOS and chipset and it is not so easy.

    Install a second HDD is not a problem if you have a second connector to HARD drive (I know SATA) in the second HARD drive Bay. I think some of the Satellite Pro A200 models were fitted with a second HDD and some other laptops are not. So if you have the connector in the Bay, you can install an additional HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro C660-1NR lose wireless adapter?

    We bought a few of the above computers laptops running Windows 7, and I had problems with 2 of them so far! After some time of normal web browsing, I lose the wifi network and in the Device Manager, the Atheros AR938x card no longer shows as being installed (no icon or anything). After a reboot, everything is fine and the adapter shows as working normally. However, he can and pick up again intermittently.
    It's frustrating when standing in front of a class of students in the middle of a lesson. The only software that has been installed is office and a couple of educational programs that work fine on other machines.
    Any ideas before I throw them out the window?

    Thank you

    > Any ideas before I throw them out the window?
    Yes. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider as soon as POSSIBLE and leave check books.

    All you can do is to install original recovery image (Win7) and test with the factory settings, but I don't think it will help.

  • Satellite Pro A200 wireless issue sometimes disconnects

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 with a wireless issue.
    I use home wireless. Every now and then while surfing it won't find the page. I try to connect via my VPN connection I have for the office.
    If you click Cancel, it will sometimes continue surfing very well but sometimes can not find the page.

    I disabled the wireless and connection is used hard and no problem.
    It would be desirable to re - install the drivers for the wireless?
    I think I've removed the software toshiba Wireless thing (forget his name) when I got it.
    So maybe that's the issue.

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Thank you

    Of course, it would be desirable to update the WLan driver in most cases it s WLan compatibility issue between card WiFi and router

    I recommend updating the driver WLan and also you can update the BIOS if a new version has been available for your laptop model

    Best regards & good luck

    Hi evo8.

    What card WLAN have you had before and do the work of a former?
    I think that it of difficult to say why it doesn t work but maybe this card is not compatible.

    By the way: do other FN keys FN + F8 work or simply not?

  • Satellite Pro A200, Windows XP, 4 GB SDHC card will not work.

    Hello

    I had a Satellite Pro A200 installed with Windows XP, SP2 for some time - no problem, a great piece of kit. However I have recently bought a new camera and splashed by a Kingston 4 GB SDHC card.

    Anyone can offer help please?

  • Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista possible installed dual boot?

    Hello

    I don't know if I'm here the XP OS but I post because it is OS related.

    My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) works well with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.

    Basically, I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on a system. * Goal *, computers laptops satellite Pro A200 are delivered with a BIOS for XP and Vista, and with the information you need to install the right pair. For me, this means that you will install the BIOS for XP when running BIOS for Vista and XP in Vista.

    Question:
    Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and have installed XP BIOS?
    Boot loader would be Acronis OSS like this charger already managing my two XP partitions.

    Thank you very much for any information!

    Best regards

    Hello

    In my opinion there is no serious reason, why you should t be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.

    Okay, there's a different BIOS for Vista 64-bit, 32-bit and Win XP, but your Vista should also work using the BIOS for Win XP.

    I have other laptops Satellite series and I m able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean I have a choice to start Vista or XP ;) and I m still using the old version of the BIOS.
    OK some functions are not available as FN keys, but this is not very important for me.

    Well, to cut this story, I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

    Now it just doesn't quite work.

    see you soon

    Hello

    Try to remove the network adapter from Device Manager wireless.
    Then restart the computer and reinstall newest WLan driver that you can download on the page of the Toshiba driver!

    Second, you could try to set up the WiFi network using an Intel ProSet Utility (but only if you have a Wlan Intel card.)

    If you have an Atheros Wlan card, then try using the Atheros Client utility for configuring Wlan
