Hello

You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.

You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
You can also consult your user manual.
In my manual, I could find some information on the compatible sides

  • Satellite Pro A120: How do I remove the CD/DVD drive

    I have 2 main problems and doesn't seem to completely open the case.
    Does anyone know how to remove the dvd - rom?

    But my mainproblem is swith power Ribbon (blue) has come off the motherboard. But as I can't open completely the case im with tweezers for trying to recconect.

    Does not seem to want to go.
    Is there a clip into the connector on the motherboard or is it just push in? A picture or a diagram would be helpful.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    One question; Why are you doing this?
    I mean why you want to open the notebook?
    Always it is that Satellite Pro A120 is not an old notebook and I presume that the guarantee is valid.
    If you remove the lid of the laptop, you will lose the warranty!

    The removal of CD/DVD is very easy.
    Usually, it is fixed with a screw located at the bottom of the unit. You have to remove first, and then he should be able to take off from the STRANGE.

    It is not enough to just buy it. You will need to also download, install and then use it. If buy you it, but continue to use the free player, he won't have to work.

  • 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. :)

  • Satellite Pro A60 failed to connect to the network after the fashion watch

    Satellite Pro A60 running XP Home.

    When I close the lid it goes mode 5000mAh as set upwards. When I lift the lid, I find that I have to restart to re-establish the connection to the internet through the wireless router. When this happens other computers using the same router not disconnected.

    I've heard talk about this but I got lucky and on my Satellite WIFI connection works after minutes again. Have you tried to deactivate and activate the WLAN using FN + F8 key combination?

    Maybe after short toggle the WiFi works again.

    Jay

    Hello

    As much as I know the of A40 Satellite Pro supports the Intel 852GME shared memory graphic card.
    S control Intel cards automatically memory allocation.

    This means that if the graphic card must more 16 MB of memory, the graphics driver will share the part of main memory!
    The whole process runs automatically and you do not need to change anything!

  • Satellite Pro A60 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    I bought a second hand Pro A60 and would like to increase its memory. I never have, so I need a little guidance. First of all, the system tells me that I have 2 x 250 MB of RAM. I understand that these are not removable, but I could add a 1 GB extra to give me the max of 1.5 GB.

    I think that the locations of memory are in B4, but when I open it I do not see an obvious empty slot. I guess what I see are among the 250 MB, but nothing else.

    Offers of additional State of RAM installation is simple, but a free slot is not obvious.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    On this laptop, just a slot is placed at the bottom. Turn off and let us know what capacity has this RAM module. You can buy new with more capacity and put it in this slot.
    A RAM is probably under the keyboard. Remove the RAM from the bottom and start your laptop. check the amount of RAM is recognized.

    If mobile shows 256 MB then you can add a RAM in low 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G) and you will have approximately 1280MB what is the max RAM this laptop to handle with.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - How can I change the optical drive?

    I want to change the optical drive in a satellite pro L20 but I'm having trouble finding instructions on how to remove it. Can anyone help?

    The CURIOUS reader is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. Then, turn the computer over and remove one screw an optical disk drive.
    The second screw is hidden under the keyboard. That's why this screw must be removed also. And then disconnect you should be able to pull-out of the optical drive.

    But note; If you have no experience of these things, ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - How can I change the start property?

    Hello

    How can I chance the A10 coastal boot?
    With ESC, I can access the BIOS, but I can't chance anything except the time.

    Thank you
    Tobias

    Hello!

    I think you should check the BIOS again because as far as I know, there you can change the boot priority.
    In addition, you should find more options in the BIOS as only the Date and time.

    Check it!

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

    I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

    The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

    BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

    WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

    Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

    + The message was edited: link has been removed ad channel may not +.

    Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
    Be careful about this.
