• Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - crashes after the sleep/hibernation

  I have a PSAFHE Satellite Pro A210 running dual boot Windows XP/7
  With the help of Windows 7 - 32 or 64 - system always crashes after sleep/hibernate mode.
  This never happens with XP that sleeps and hibernates OK...
  There is no driver for this laptop on site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
  I like system 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate, I go back to XP.

  > There is no driver for this laptop on site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Sorry, mate, but you're wrong.
  All drivers for Win 7 for Satellite Pro A210 are available on the European driver of Toshiba page that I recommend you check out once again

  Given that this question does not appear using Win XP, I can say with certainty that this has nothing to do with the material, but it s a software related issue
  I recommend updating the graphics card driver

  In addition, there is a new BIOS for Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE it s v2.0
  Check if you are using the latest version

• Re: Satellite Pro U300: critical battery Vista hibernate problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U300 PSU31E and have problems with the critical level of batteries and hibernation since I got it.

  It comes with Vista Business

  Critical battery level is set at 2% - is the the strage thing if I hit Hibernate mode (via the power button or start > Hibernate) it have hibernated ok - even at 2% remaining battery. However if I leave it to do this automatically (via the action of critical battery and critical battery level Windows) he died just in hibernation - looks like it ran out of power. The only way I can operate automatically through Windows is by setting the battery level critical to 8% (he dies still in hibernation on what whether it is less than 8%).

  Normally you would just say ok the critical low level must be higher but one) why when I Hibernate manually less than 8% is working perefectly and b) put 8% loses me a good a few minutes! and (c) especially the computer or the battery do not think they are flat at 8% - then, the problem is that it allows you to restart. When the computer starts less than 8%, he has already missed his firm critical point 8% so then just down and down with no further action of the battery until it dies. My XP laptop would be closed, then the computer would know the battery is flat and do not allow a restart up to the critical load of 3%.

  What is one thing Vista or Toshiba?

  Probably not the battery I have 2 with exactly the same problem

  I have all the latest drivers for the power and Vista SP1 and latest version of the BIOS

  Thank you

  Hi David

  I think it s not a Vista problem or question Satellite U300.

  The point is that the OS Vista needs a lot of resources and more energy than the older Microsoft operating systems.

  Always is it that same laptop with pre-installed Win XP would be a lot more time using the power of the battery as with Vista OS.
  Vista is a monster and he eats all the material resources.

  This means that if you use the Vista operating system, you must set the parameters of critical battery at a higher level to make sure that your laptop (Vista OS) would end Hibernate process correctly.

  I think that the last 2% of the battery power is simply not enough to put the laptop into hibernation mode.

  So don't worry, relax and enjoy your beautiful baby ;)

• Satellite Pro 6000 and Windows Vista

  I bought a Satellite Pro 6000 and I want to put Windows Vista on it. I did an Upgrade Advisor and I was told that this graphics card will not work. Is this true?

  Thanks, Nick

  I'm afraid that's true. Satellite Pro 6000 is old enough for laptop and it will not supported in Vista. Install Windows XP Home edition and enjoy your life.

• Satellite Pro P300-135/Windows Vista / problem with microphone and Crystal

  Hello

  Can someone help me please? I reinstalled my Vista and my microphone does not work. When I try to plug in my headphones, they are also dead. Nobody knows what kind of drivers can be responsible for this?

  And how you try reinstalling Vista? Using the recovery image (factory settings) or you try to install the clean version of Vista?

  Sorry, but I don't see any sense why you are doing this. Your laptop comes with Vista. Is there a particular reason to achieve?

• Satellite Pro L300-PSLBDE (Windows 7 drivers & problems)

  Hello

  I just installed Windows 7 on the laptop, when I checked the drivers download page I couldn't find Windows 7 drivers, although all other submodels in the L300 (PSLB9E-PSLBHE/PSLB1E) Branch have Windows 7 drivers listed for version 32 & 64, so what gives?

  I need especially the driver webcam, Windows 7 almost everything automatically identified except that I don't mind a pilot wireless network adapt (realtech) given that the Wireless does not work / connect anything I don't try, no idea why.

  I download the driver for the Cam for a different model and test on the lappy if it works so very well, and I hope someone can help me with the problem also wireless.

  Hello

  I think that the Toshiba is under driver version. This means that every day more and more drivers are published
  Maybe you should just wait until the drivers would be released

  On the other hand, you can try some drivers released for other series from Toshiba that some unique drivers should work because the pieces of equipment are not really different

  PS: Here you can find the Wlan driver:

• Turn off the problem on Satellite Pro A210

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite Pro A210, running on XP. It seems to turn off without reason. I don't think it's a problem of overheating as it can sometimes after only a few minutes of use, and can stay on the day without problem. It is as if he goes into hibernation, although the blue power light remains on, but cannot be restarted without turning off the power and then walk back.

  Someone at - it ideas? Thank you.

• Satellite Pro A210 - recover the HARD internal disk

  Happy new year guys – love the active forum community!

  My Satellite Pro A210 dead spectacular a few months back and being out of warranty, I did my best to fix it - diagnosis I think has a faulty motherboard (No bios loading, no start-up through external boot disks/drives) and if I do regular backups, there are always a few files that get missed so connected the HARD drive to another PC to find the HARD drive died in that it is not even turn.

  Is it possible, even bother to try to change the circuit printed out the HARD drive, like-for-like, or is the circuit "listens" on the disc (even if it could lead to another Board blown) or what are my options to get the HARD drive looked at and repaired, at what price?

  Sorry if this is a stupid question

  Hi bearoon,

  This means you want to replace the Control Board on the underside of the HARD drive itself?

  Well, theoretically it of possible, but note: you can only replace it with a Board of 100% same HARD drive. If you use it from another HARD disk you can destroy the HARD drive and everything on it always makes not readable so it s sensitive technique.
  So before of you exchange it make sure that the model numbers of the two HARD drives are 100% identical.

  I've never done this on 2.5 portable hard drives but a few years ago I did it on my drive HARD 3.5 from desktop and it worked and so I was able to recover my data. The reason was that t wasn't HDD spinning up more (totally dead) and the problem was the faulty Control Board.

• Satellite Pro A210: Battery drains fast access

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro A210 news from Jan. The battery seems if discharge very quickly during normal use so I´d be interested if someone could let me know what kind of life you get from your.

  More problematic is that when the left in hibernation it drains the battery in about 36 hours, once again I´d be interested in your experiences.

  It seems to load normally so I wonder if the pc is attractive more current than it should. I spotted a wire on the basis of knowledge of Toshiba which mentioned Wake on Lan, causing similar problems recommend have disabled in bios, I checked and it is turned off.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Andy

  Hello

  generally, the battery should last about 2 hours (surfing, writing, etc.). I mean it depends of many factors such as:

  1 powersaving settings
  2. applications from running
  3 execution of application
  4. connected devices (such as USB - HDD, etc...)

  regarding the Hibernate: this is normal. What did YOU expect?
  It would also be great if you could tell me how long your machine usually in battery mode works... would be really useful ;)

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A210 1AZ Disk Partitions

  Hello

  Hope someone can explain to me. We have two Satellite Pro A210 1AZ identical machines, Windows Vista Home, 120 GB of disk. They have two partitions on the disk in the computer. C: Vista is 56.2 GB and data E: is 54.0 GB. I guess there are other accounts hidden for the missing 10 GB partition and I guess that is the recovery partition.

  My problem is the following. Everything written in C:, programs, Documents etc., and it is more or less complete. The E: is not used. Why is there an E: partition? Why not a single 110GB C:?

  I know that I can copy files on the E: partition but trying I find annoying. My wife doesn't understand anything on the partitions, folders and files and just wants everything to be where you expect it to be - in Documents or photos. Seems reasonable.

  What can I do to get rid of the E: thing and have just a large C:?

  NB - I have no interest is messing around with the PC, I want to just use it and forget about it.

  Thank you

  Fred

  Hello Fred

  I don't know how much experience you have with the PC, but it is usual to divide the hard driver to two or more partitions. each partition can have a different name and you can save specific data on the specific partition.

  For example, I have three partitions:
  C for the operating system
  Private D for stuff like photos, movies and mp3 files and
  E for Business stuff

  Anyway, if you want to have a (the ability of the entire HARD disk) partition, you can delete second partition and expand the C partition to use any HARD drive capacity.
  Open Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management.

  In the left pane, under storage category, click on disk management
  Now select and right mouse button click on the partition that you want to change.
  In the context menu, you will see options to extend, reduce or remove the partition. Select the option you want.
  If your 2nd partition is empty, you can remove the 2nd partition, and then expand the 1st partition to use the freed up space.

  So to learn more about the bits and bytes please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT7301UY001JR01.htm

  Bye and good luck!
