• WiFi on Satellite Pro A60 - 138:P4 - 532

  Hello people!
  I'm new in the world of wireless communications and I am considering buying a PCMCIA card or a mini PCI Wireless. My first question is whether a mini pci card can be installed on my laptop, and if so, what do you think the adapter INTEL PRO/WIRELESS 2200. Is a PCMCIA card a better choice?

  Hello

  normally a solution in-house as a MiniPCI card is better because when it is installed you will have problems.

  The Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 is a good wifi card that you can buy! It is an original brand and works very well!

  When you turn on the A60, you will find a small cover where the Wifi card can be inserted.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A60-221 - how to reflash the BIOS?

  Hello

  I was installing a new fresh OS on a Satellite Pro A60-221(PSA65E-02E03TFR), I wanted to take it seriously, so I tried to update the BIOS. I used the program given by Toshiba in a zip file: bios - 20070808110029.zip, the program is called: Osaka20V190.exe.
  I run it, in the end, the computer turned off, so I reboot it. Since then the computer do 4 beeps, 1 long 1 short 1 long anda the last short I think that the shutdown of the computer itself.

  So I think that I should have made a huge mistake (perhaps because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the zipfile whithout put on the desktop for example, stupid, stupid, stupid...), and my question is:
  Is it possible to Flash the bios to the default without having to start the computer? As in a motherboard, you can put a jumper between the two pins?

  If the answer is already in this forum, I'm really sorry to bother you, I searched in the pro A60 series but could not find.

  Best regards.

  Hi hyeud,

  > maybe because that I run Osaka20V190.exe directly in the file zip whithout to put it on the desktop for example
  Yes, generally all the files of zip archive must be extracted first before starting the update, but now it s too late

  Such a reflash BIOS what you hear can only be initiated because on the Toshiba authorised service provider Web site, you can download a Windows based BIOS update.

  To contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Guys can you help you get rid of this problem. :)

• Cannot start WXP installed on my Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  I just got a Satellite Pro A60 of second hand. He had installed xp pro, but I did have no password. , so I formatted the drive and made two partitions. There are 30 GB and the other approximately 7 GB.

  I tried to install a WXP Pro copy that has worked for me before, but he would not complete the installation. Now, I have a Toshiba Recovery disk. When I use the recovery CD, the installation goes fine, but when its full and restarts, the laptop does not start in Windows.

  He comes to Toshiba screen twice then WXP logo appears for a moment about 10 seconds or more, then go back to the f8 screen. Last time, he said it could be due to a hardware change with these lists of 'safe mode' options, safe mode with command prompt mode implementation network, security, last known good configuration. I tried all the but still cannot boot into windows.

  The hard drive has the files I used l-soft active@killdisk unerasor tools, change password and partition Viewer, I could see the file system of windows etc. Laptop has 512 MB RAM, 40 GB drive HARD, Celeron.

  I just updated the bios to V1.90 by CD-ROM. Please can someone help me?
  Thank you

  Hello

  You have installed the operating system from the recovery CD Toshiba but have you used the original Toshiba comes with this laptop recovery CD?

  The BSOD appears mainly due to hardware failure or the software flaw serious
  The Toshiba Recovery CD contains all the drivers needed and tools, but if you use a recovery CD badly the pre-installed drivers can cause the error and BSOD could appears.

  However if some hardware like the memory module or the graphics card is damaged the BSOD are included also.

• Missing drivers for a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E

  Hello

  Just to put the hand on this Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E - 01H00U8K.
  It was really slow and crashing regularly so I reinstalled windows XP by using a copy of XP I had round lie and the license key at the back of the laptop.
  I have not the original CD media provided with calculation, so I used the following link for the
  [PSA65E driver on the site of toshiba UK page | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&selCategory=8 & selFamily = 193 & selSeries = 239 & selProduct = 537 & selSho rtMod = 384 & language = 13 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 8 & pa ge 1 = & startPage = 1 & prevCl = true].

  I installed all the drivers and software on this page, but my device manager is always showing three elements as not installed:
  Network controller
  Modem PCI
  SM Bus controller

  Can anyone give me specific instructions as to where I could find the drivers for these items? Or that drivers on the driver page to attempt to reinstall!

  Thank you very much, Tom

  Hello

  SM BUS controller-> Flash Media Driver

  Network-> driver LAN or WLan controller is
  Note: there are various different manufacturers Intel, Atheros WLan drivers, etc.

  PCI modem-> you need driver modem.

  PS: don't forget that the SP3 of XP Win is installed too.

• Satellite Pro A60: strange sound coming from speakers

  Hello.

  My brother has a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 - my old laptop. However, it has a strange sound question. I wiped it a few months back, and the sound worked fine. However, after a week or two he suddenly started to sound like the speakers were blown out.

  I made the assumption that stakeholders were indeed blown and connected to external speakers - but they made the same noise! I was wondering, this sounds like a card his fries, or a drivers/software error?

  If it is a mistake to sound card, the sound card can be changed?

  Hello

  without changing the card its couldn t, it s on the motherboard and if you want to Exchange, you must exchange the motherboard together.

  First question: did you always guaranteed on this machine?

  Then my suggestion:

  Back up the data on the machine, the recover with the recovery CD and then the noise should be gone. If not, and if you still have warranty on this machine, so it would be better to bring the machine to a service partner for a checkup of material.

  Give some feedback if you have any additional questions.

• Upgrade memory from 256 to 512 MB on Satellite Pro A60

  Just want to confirm really what I got caught once before buying the bad memory. I read another thread, so am sure I'm ok with that.

  OK, the RAM, I need for the upgrade of the Satellite A60 Pro is:
  200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 Unbuffered CL2.5 (Non - ECC)

  Maplin:
  http://www.Maplin.co.UK/search.aspx?criteria=A31CG&doy=24m12
  A31CG DDR 2700 512M SODIMM

  Crutial
  http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/mpartspecs.asp?mtbpoid=04FE6CD8A5CA7304
  512MB 200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 upgrade for the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Series notebook

  I don't think that 1GIG RAM is needed for my daughter :-)

  Note: On my main PC, I got defective Crutial Ballistix memory, but Crutial were very good replacing it for free.

  Thank you and a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you on this forum.

  Ah, just another thing I'm not clear on.

  The NEW RAM replaces the existing, in other words I have remove the 256 and replace it with the 512? Reading the user manual, it is not clear and talks about expansion module. Probably, it would be obvious if I opened it to the top, but I'd rather not at this stage.

  Thank you

• Satellite M45: Cannot boot from the CD-ROM or HARD drive

  I get the following messages...

  WHEN BOOTING FROM HDD: "Invalid partition table".

  At the START of the CD: "No Bootable CD in ATAPI CD-ROM.
  By so, even though I have the recovery CD and the computer can not read them.

  I tried to change the order of boot without result. Created a bootable CD Bart, who works in my other computer, but not in this laptop. Are there special drivers, I need for this CD?
  I'm out on this one.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your partition on the HARD disk is damaged and so you cannot boot from the HARD drive.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be formatted completely and then you could try to install the OS.

  It seems also that your drive cannot recognize the CD bootable (WinXP?) and, therefore, it of not possible to boot from the drive.
  Well, it really stupid s :_| situation really stupid!

  However, did you try to boot from another CD? For example Microsoft Windows original CD?
  If not I recommend you to do and eventually the reader will be able to read the CD.
  If this isn't the case, so I think that the reader must be checked. Possibly it also corrupted s.

• Memory should what upgrade I buy for my Satellite Pro A60?

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E, who currently has 192 MB of RAM and 2.8 GHz Celeron processor.

  My problem came when I tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on it, but it would not allow me to do so because he needed 384 MB of RAM to run it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what RAM upgrade is compatible with my machine and if it inserted in another port or if I have to get out the old and replace?

  Thank you
  Donald

  Hello

  your laptop is 256 MB internal memory, I'm not sure why it shows only 192 MB. This internal memory can be replaced only by a technician. But you also have a currently unused memory slot, in which you can place a maximum of 1024 MB of RAM.

  Here are the modules from Toshiba lets you:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Satellite Pro A60 Wireless connection problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60 which was connected to our main office using a Linksys Home Wireless - G USB adapt to I can share files and also connect to our connection broadband. The main office is connected directly to a G from Linksys home wireless gateway. It worked fine then for no reason (no settings have been changed or installed software) the laptop does not connect to the desktop or the internet. The software Linksys says that it is connected to the access point, but the internet cannot be found. Even if he says that it is connected I can't get to the desktop.

  I tried to set up a dial-up connection independent for updating drivers etc, but after the normal dial tones, he says that it cannot connect to the remote computer.

  We tried everything that we think would be grateful for any ideas. Please speak slowly and distinctly also even if I know a little technical jargon computers is a language that I'm not still commonly!

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. In my opinion, you must remove all the settings and adapter WLAN Device Manager. Restart the unit, reinstall the wireless card and make a WLAN configuration again.

  In my opinion, it is very important to know if the WIFI network of the device works correctly, and if you are able to share files between the laptop and our main office. If it works properly again check the settings on our front door.

  One is the problem with Notepad or another device. If someone of your friends has a WIFI at home, you can try to check the laptop WIFI functionality. On this way, you can be sure that if the problem is caused by your Satellite Pro.

  If you find a solution please let me know what the problem is.

  Good luck!
