• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E - WLan speed falls steadily

  Hello

  Anyone know what is causing my laptop to lose wifi on a regular basis? It's a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E running on XP. I bought the new laptop in February and it came with Vista loaded but the wifi kept stalling and was Advisor to swap to XP, because it was more stable.

  When wifi is filed, the WiFi connection icon disappears completely from the sys tray as if it never existed even if the wifi witness just under the lower edge remains lit. Research in the network connection in Control Panel of the wifi is not listed.
  I have to shut down the laptop and restart so that I can continue to work online.

  I downloaded the latest driver for the Atheros AR5007EG and I rang Toshiba support.

  Someone at - it ideas - I am disappointed by the performance of the WLan.

  Hello

  Usually this problem could be solved in BIOS and WLan driver update!
  A friend of mine had a similar problem and after that driver WLan will update the WiFi connection is stable.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E - computer laptop shuts down randomly

  I've had my Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E for about a year and a half now. He ran very well most of the time, but in recent months he has been stop itself randomly. There is no warning or "Windows is shutting down" he just me using my computer to a blank screen.

  After frustrated with her, I did a full format my HARD drive and started from scratch. This does not solve the problem, and since then, the taskbar freezes. When I click on it I get the error and the hourglass cursor message "Windows Explorer is not responding... "I then have to click"restart", which makes the taskbar disappear for a few seconds before returning (usually without my sound icon).

  The laptop turns off when it is connected to the electric network with & without the battery and when running only on battery, so I excluded all power problem.

  I have considered it heats up too, but I use a block of cooling with built-in fans and has not himself in a few minutes after being hit not 24 hours, so I'm not sure that's the problem.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  I am running WIndows Vista Home Premium 32-bit if that's any help.

  Thank you.

  I think that the problem of overheating.
  The fact is that the laptop would be down automatically stops in order to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.
  In most cases this problem can be solved very easily. Using a jet of compressed air, you can remove the dust from the cooling modules and fans.
  I clean my fans from time to time, because I noticed a higher temperature and the laptop was a little stronger.

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) failure hard disk

  Hello

  My computer is Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) purchased Oct 2007, running Vista 32 bit. He was always a bit skittish and prone to crashing. The first time I ever did a Windows Update it projected blue, so I restored and never updated since.

  The other day it started to emit beeps during startup, and while I could then get into, I think that the hard drive has failed, because now it runs very slow and crashes.

  Think the forum that this laptop could never be made to be stable and reliable?

  The hard drive is hard to change? I do it myself.

  There the drive hard replacement somewhere online instructions?

  Should what model of hard drive I install?

  Thank you

  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
  HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You should see the drive Bay HARD fixed with a screw cover.
  Remove the screws and you will see the HARD drive

  To remove the HARD drive, remove the connectors

  But note; Be always careful and don't use force!

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E: Volume control moves without any breakpoint

  First time I've used this excuse. Just bought my second Toshiba this time Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E Vista Business. The volume control turns both clockwise and anti hourly without any breakpoint that it in either... just begins to turn.

  Increase and decrease the volume but it is unpredicatble and the fact that there is no breakpoint on the rotation of the wheel is I wonder if there is a fault? Seems strange to me.

  Adivce appreciated
  See you soon
  Dave

  There s nothing wrong with the volume control!
  Here are the new properties of the volume control. These volume controllers are integrated in the different portable Toshiba top of range, that a similar volume controller can be found in the new Qosmio series

• Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE4E Audio volume, number

  Hello. First post on this forum.

  I have a Satellite Pro A200. Volume in a trial through the audio controller Realtek (just upgraded to 5.1) is good, with a good volume. However the playback volume of DVD/CD or radio online, is very soft and barely audible.

  I went to each adjustment of volume and set everything up.

  I had hoped by downloading the software Realtek newest would stop this problem that has existed since I bought the laptop, but I'm only doing something now...

  I hope someone can help.

  Thank you
  Matt

  Hi Matt

  The Realtek audio driver also installs the Realtek HD audio Manager. Can be found in the control panel.
  This tool offers also some useful options that could affect the volume.

  I n t have an A200 but another laptop with the same HD Realtek audio Manager and in the tab called mixer, you can find some settings that could help increase the output volume.

  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 A100: CD/DVD player will not play the audio CD or video DVD

  People,
  I have a Satellite Pro A100, with a RUG * a DVD-RAM UJ - 841 S Drive.
  It will read fine data disks, but refuses to play with the audio CD or video DVD.

  I tried to uninstall & Re-Installing DVD - RAM Driver;
  That got rid of the "IO error" that I received, unfortunately I don't notice the full error: S.
  He now just doesn't see the drive. Someone at - it ideas?

  I did a full windows update, and the Toshiba Diagnostic util tell me anything useful except "Fail" :(

  I found a thread in this forum that describes a similar theme:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19747&MessageID=72404

  Sometimes this error is displayed because the player does not support the environment.
  Always it is every way is supported by readers and I think that in the user manual, you will find an index CDs or DVDs compatible

  Maybe the drive is defective and can not calibrate lens in the right position.
  But this laptop is not very old, and I can't imagine that the drive is defective
  However, nothing is impossible.

  What you can do is to carefully clean the lens and see that it will help.

• Satellite Pro A10 - updated DVD player

  Hello. I bought this laptop with a DVD player, but upgrade to a DVD - RW so that I can burn DVDs. Anyone know if it is possible to buy an internal DVD RW burner drive for this model of Satellite Pro or should I just a USB external DVD burner?

  Thank you

  Hiya,

  You can certainly replace your DVD drive with a new DVD burner, but you will need to make sure that you get a new device with the same form factor (physical dimensions) and also one that is on the characteristics of good connection (master, slave, or C/salt).

  I suggest that you only contact your nearest ASP to check compatible DVD burners.

  Kind regards

  Is it so when you try to play DVDs with VLC media player?

  What you could also try is reinstalling DVD Toshiba playback software. You can download the latest version on the Web from Toshiba site:

• Satellite Pro M30 replace DVD player - need repair

  Hello

  After a year since I bought my laptop, the optical drive started having problems reading most of my DVD discs, even those written with her self.
  I want to replace the unit, I did this operation with my previous laptop too but then I used a maintenance manual.
  Anyone know where the maintenance manual for download?

  Thank you
  Daniel

  Hello

  The replacement is not complicated and you don t need textbooks. The reader is fixed with a screw. You can find it in the bottom corner near the memory module cover. Remove it and turn off the player.
