• Compatible BIOS ACPI for Satellite Pro A30

  Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1 GB RAM and 2.8 GHZ P4 processor. I was wondering when toshiba would provide ACPI compatible BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, when running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will work Windows Vista professional, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.

  So I started the upgrade of Windows XP, and once the computer is restarted to begin installation of Vista I was faced with the blue screen, indicating that my BIOS is not fully ACPI.

  It seems such a shame that the machine is up to running under Vista, but Toshiba did not provide updates to bios ACPI. My bios version is 1.80.

  Any idea?

  Hi Keith

  Sorry to say but I agree with the above stanislaus.
  I'm wondering if this laptop has Vista capable sticker? Not?
  Well well, in such cases, it of not a big surprise that Vista can not be installed.

  Of course, I installed Vista on my M40 unit.
  I was a lucky guy ;) But I put t expect that Vista will run on each computer on this world some laptops really supports Vista and some not :(

  By the way: I found this document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7201SK002HR01.htm

  Seems that the old A30 is not supported for Vista

• Satellite Pro A30: Difference between the motherboard K000013790 vs K000011360

  Hi all

  I need to replace my motherboard on a Satellite pro A30.
  The Board of Directors is to be replaced is a k000011360.
  The advice I can get to replace is K000013790.

  Can someone tell me the difference between these two?
  I have a 2.6 GHz CPU that may not be supported by the
  replacement card.

  If I understand correctly, all Pro A30 boards have a standard form factor
  so can be interchanged.

  TIA,
  Ray.

  Hello

  I'm really skeptical that anyone here can give you accurate information. Maybe you will be lucky and a technician will be post but before wait you here and size your time I recommend you exchange it with the same.

  On this way, you will be sure that it will work well and there will be no problem with the other hardware components or maybe sort of moderator suites like overheating, permanent cooling fan running.

  Also can you check if this card fits into the A30 (ports on the right place) case?

• Sound on Satellite Pro A30 plays very well, then disappears

  A satellite Pro A30 for two years. A few months ago, the noise began to cut. It always returns when I reboot or restart. And sometimes, he remains well overall!
  I tried reloading Realtek program but that didn't make a difference.
  Also recently subscribed to iTunes and wonder if it is to have an effect?

  Any help much appreciated

  Hello

  The problem occurred before that you subscribed to iTunes?
  Maybe a 3rd party software has a bad influence on the sound properties?
  It's not easy to say why it happens because we don t know what you have installed on your laptop.
  However, you should check the Toshiba driver download page and here, you must download and install the driver of his most recent.
  Check also the AC97 Audio configuration in Control Panel.

• Satellite Pro A30 is randomly turn off

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A30 and from time to time it just turn off. It happens to any application that I use. It will then restart and on my desk, I will get the message that my Active Desktop was stopped unexpectedly and asks if I would like to turn it back on. I noticed that it does appear that this operation when the power supply is connected.

  I can't be sure if it happened only when he has worked outside the network, but I'm starting to think it is. The charger seems to work fine though as it loads fine and power mode changes when it is plugged.

  Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated,

  Thanks in advance,

  Babin

  Satellite Pro A30 is quite old and probably you have not cleaned up until now. If the unit tips suddenly OFF, independent, running application it may be due to overheating.

  It is possible the unit turns off often when it is connected to the power running, because in this case, the standard profile in power management is full power. Power supply battery, CPU activity will solve automatically on the lower level and maybe you can do a little bit more.

  In any case, I recommend you to clean the unit and remove the dust. You can try to do this alone, but I recommend doing it on the professional way but you can make a decision how to proceed.

• Satellite Pro A30 - RAM to help to improve the graphic system

  I have a Toshiba Satellite PRO A30 and I recently went to a computer fair when I learned that I couldn't change the graphics because it is built in processor, but the guy told me I could use the RAM on my laptop (which is 1.2 GB) to improve the graphics up to 128 MB? is it true on this type of laptop, I looked everywhere on the net for how to do and say everything, it is to do so through the phoenixbios I have tried to do so but do not cause on my bios it doesn't gives not the possibility to change it, will I need an update for my bios?

  Hi Mark,

  Your information is basically correct. The SA30 uses RAM shared for its graphics chip, so in principle, you can specify which part of your main RAM that you want to use for this purpose. However, the ability to specify the RAM allocation is controlled by the BIOS, and if the manufacturer of the BIOS has chosen to preselect the value of RAM graphic, then, you will not be able to change it.

  I know that Phoenix BIOS allows the allocation of RAM to specify up to 128 MB (16, 32, 64 and 128 values) and it can also be defined in the properties display ("Advanced" tab), select the Frame Buffer and check which is entered for the value of the AMU.

  I think that the option in the BIOS is also called UMA and appears on the second page of the BIOS update, about half way down the screen.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A200: Recovery using a ghost network boot disk

  Hi all

  Need to ghost several satellite pro a200 machines using a ghost network boot disk. When I use disk ghost provided by the ghost boot Wizard and no boot on PC back I get the message 'No Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Found!' Serious internal error! (hardware works fine under XP/Vista)

  I tried to boot from CD, Mem Stick and USB floppy with the drivers of toshiba and realtek without success, research on google seem to point to there needing to be a driver to interface with the cardbus / PCMCIA adapter - if it IS the case can anyone shed light on the fate of a pilot and how I could continue on this?

  Thank you very much

  Thanks for the clarification best regards

  I already have a partition, but when I boot from disks, is not has the option to select a partition

  Thanks already

  > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
  Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
  Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

• Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

  Hello

  I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
  Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
  would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
  A reboot cold was the only solution.
  I was told to replace the HD I did but the
  problem persisted with the new HD.

  I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
  At this point, the warranty period has increased.
  Frost started happening more regularly, and
  now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
  It starts and then try to boot from the network,
  because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

  At this point, I think I need a new system board.
  Someone at - it other advice or seen this problem
  before?

  Thank you
  Ray

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the CD/DVD drive or the HARD drive?
  The laptop recognizes one of these devices?
  Have you used the devices recommended by Toshiba?

  in any case, this seems very strange and the dysfunction of the motherboard is not impossible

• Satellite Pro L300 - commissioned only in safe mode

  Hay, my Satellite Pro L300 computer can be started in SafeMode only because if I start it normally it access to the desktop and then freezers.

  Can someone help with this problem?

  Hey Buddy,

  If the computer starts only in safe mode, this means that something has confused the OS

  Since when have you noticed the problem?
  No doubt it can help you to restore the system to a previous point. If it doesn t help your only option seems to be to reinstall Windows I think. Therefore, you can use the Toshiba Recovery drivers with tools disk :)

• Satellite Pro A30 - broken circuit internal

  Hello

  I this A30 here and was sold as a resource of spare parts for my other laptop. It seems that the only problem with it is the power supply. The cold state (between 5 and 10 ° C), it works long enough for a few seconds or a few minutes at the start, then, from one second to another, he died. If the battery is installed or not doesn't matter much.
  Now, it does not start even when connected with the tapping, but keeps flashing briefly its rhythmic LEDs and is a slight TICKING sound as well.

  Any suggestions really what part of the internal power supply may be damaged? Of course, I could order a technician to find the problem. But after hours of work, with this Bill that he would introduce me I could buy a Satellite Pro work as well...

  Thanks in advance,

  M. *

  Check first for the dust in the heat sink. Maybe her turn off when its hot?

  If you wiggle the plug of the AC adapter / CC (where it plugs into the laptop), only the power light flickr?
