• Satellite Pro A60 - installed Belkin Wireless but can't find a wireless adapter

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A60, and late last year, I restored the disk hard as he saw all sorts of questions. After that it worked fine, everything fine, reinstalled outside the wireless card. I tried several times to reinstall my Belkin Wireless PCI card that slots on the side, but when I do (using the Belkin internet software make sure is the right one) it comes up saying ' found Incompatible driver version. Failed to load the application '.
  After restoring I reloaded the stuff about the tools and utilities disk (most of it anyway and all relevant esp network), after that I reloaded XP SP2 (would I have done that first?) Is this the problem?)

  Belkin card tells me that I have no adapters (huh?) but when I go to the information system there is no problem of devices and Im not really sure whats missing - clearly something is but that? Im not great with computers so would really appreciate the help!

  The device manager didn't show any problem devices.
  But the installed wireless card has been published in the device under network adapters Manager?

  The Toshiba recovery image contains a Wlan card and software driver Atheros Wlan Card. It is perhaps a reason for the problem, try to remove this software from the operating system.

  However, for me it looks like you used any compatible WLan card
  I discovered that the Atheros AR5001X Wlan card could be compatible

• Satellite Pro M40X-132: scalable wireless Lan?

  Hello

  I have a PC laptop Toshiba M40X-132. It doesn't have a wireless installed inside the adapter. It cable antenna for this card.

  On the site where the specifications are listed, I see that the computer is "scalable wireless lan. If you want to check, here is the link: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/selected_product_option.jsp?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID= 104069 & DISC_MODEL = 0

  I opened my computer and noticed that there are no slot mini pci installed. However, I found the place on the motherboard that is generally used to install such a slot with a certain set of 15-20 minutes with a weld. :) I know I'm losing my warranty by doing this, but I think it would be better to take the risk that, in order to exploit external PCMCIA or USB devices all the time.

  So, I have a slot mini pci I bought in a store for electronic components. The place for the installation of such a location are tinned on the motherboard. I think cleaning of Tin from there and then set the slot I.

  The big question is the following: suppose that I managed to solder correctly such a slot on the motherboard. It will work or not? I mean, the slot is just the thing that does not exist, or there is some other components and electronic parts which are now absent and doing this slot work?

  Thank you for your advice. I'm really confused.

  Good day! :)

  Hello Stefan

  I really put t understand you not at all. First I put t really believe someone make these experiences and you will be very happy if someone has this kind of experience.

  And if it works, how you want to install the WiFi antenna? You want to dismantle the entire screen to do this and to do it properly? Believe me that it is a bad idea.

  The USB wireless costs about 25 euros and in 10 minutes, you can configure and use the WLAN.

  Please think about this one more time.

  Good luck!

  Have you tried a BIOS update?
  This you will find also on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  You have disabled all the security features for testing?
  I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far. Maybe that's the problem.

  Check also if the router has the new firmware. You can find it on the site of the factory

• Satellite Pro A60: Wireless router Questions

  Hi all
  I am a novice computer, sorry for my lack of knowledge. I just bought a BT Voyager router for Satellite Pro A60 mt, but can't seem to make it work!

  I was told that my Sat Pro has a built-in wireless inbulit receiver? (If yes how I turn it on?)
  When I conect the router to the phone line saying all the lights on the router everything is ok... but when I try to go to the line, NOTHING!

  Please can someone help me... ???

  Hello

  I checked the properties of the Satellite Pro A60 and it seems that the WiFi card is optional on this unit.
  In this case, you should check in Device Manager if the minPCI wireless network card is properly installed on your machine.
  On the right side of the laptop, you will find a switch ON / OFF wireless. If the wireless network adapter is enabled, the led at the front lights.

  Now something on the router. Each WLan router typically has an own software installation package. There should also be an instruction how to manage the router.
  You should check the router instruction

• Switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

  Hello

  The Satellite notebooks come with a different hardware configuration.
  Sometimes different series use the same notebook covers.

  After a lengthy investigation on the internet I discovered that the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered without the LAN card internal minPCI and it seems that the WiFi network is not extensible.

  It seems that your only option to use WLan on your laptop.
  I advise to use the WLAN USB key or card PCMCIA Wlan.
  I tend to the USB ;)

• 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!

• Satellite Pro A60 - recovery question

  I tried to do a cover of product on a satellite pro A60

  I put in discs 1 and 2 according to the instructions and everything seems to work ok.
  Then tells me to remove the recovery media and restart the computer using ctrl alt del

  It restarts and goes through toshiba screen and on the screen of windows xp... then a blue screen that says please wait while windows prepares to start... then on windows xp with a saying of hourglass professional screen, please wait. Nothing else happens.

  It does nothing else, we left it for 3 hours today and it didn't go past this screen.

  Everyone knows it or can give me some tips on how to make the laptop still works?

  I installed windows and the Toshiba Recovery many times and I didn't noticed this problem on any of my books.
  I remember that once my Windows installation operating system has failed. I put t know why
  But I just formatted my HARD disk, erase all partitions and started the installation again! The procedure is completed successfully and portable started in the Win XP operating system.

  You must understand you problem could be linked to the software only or the operation of the equipment (HARD drive?)

  One question; have you used the recovery CD Toshiba compatible? I read repeatedly on similar problems, and finally the wrong recovery CD was the reason for start-up/installation problems.

  Make sure that sue you the good CD and then I would recommend repeat the installation of the OS.

  Good bye

• No switch wireless on Satellite Pro A60

  I just bought (second hand) a satellite pro A60EN PSA65E 01HOOU8K model number. There is just a cavity where the wireless communication switch should be. Does this mean that I can't use a wireless router?

  Hi David

  Some of the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered with a minPCI wireless network card and some do not support the WLan functionality.
  It seems that you have one that does not support the WLan. This is why you must use an external solution such as WLan USB stick

• Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

  I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

  I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
  First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

  I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
  The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

  Hello

  Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

  Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

  Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

• Question about the use of the Satellite Pro A60 fan

  Hello

  I intend to get a Satellite Pro A60 and I was wondering how much the fan turns on.

  Could someone comment if the fan turns on when the machine is totally inactive, and how he lights up when the machine is used for word processing and surfing the web?

  For example, when using normally does the fan turn on 1/10th of the time, or 1/2 time etc.?

  Thanks in advance,
  Pete.

  Hello

  Sorry I can't give you specific information about the cooling fan. A60 is known to me. It's a very nice laptop. Cooling vent is in reverse I am a pretty that there is no background noise.

  If you make the decision to buy it, look at what the capacity of the HARD drive is too high and that the DVD-ROM can burn a lot of different formats (DVD Super Multi drive).

  Have lots of fun with it.

• Satellite Pro A60: Upgrade CPU Questions

  I took my laptop apart before, and I remember that I was able to remove the CPU.
  My A60 is the lower part of the range as far as I KNOW, 2.8 ghz Celeron, 40GB HDD and DVD-ROM/CD-RW. I've since added 512 MB of RAM and a LiteOn DVD +-RW drive.
  What type of CPU would be a direct exchange?
  I was looking at my manual, A60 were sold with P4 3.06 GHz.

  I would be able to put in a 533FSB, 3.06 GHz in my laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite Pro A60 was delivered with these processors:
  Mobile-Intel-Pentium 4 processor - HT 518 (2.8 G), 532 (3.06 G) CPU, CPU 538 (3.2 G)
  Intel-Celeron CPU CPU CPU CPU 350 (3.2 G) 345(3.066G) 340(2.93G) 335(2.8G)

  So in this case, I think that you can only use these processors

  Hello.
  I have a Satellite Pro A60 P4 532, with the following:
  3.06 GHz/XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi

  I want to add memory (256 MB).
  On the web site of Toshiba, they lead me to the PA3127U - 1 M 25 (DDR PC2100), but I see that for almost similar laptops they offer the PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR)

  * 256 MB DDR PC2100 (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  -P4 532 (3.06 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi
  -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Home/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

  -Celeron D335 (2.8 GHz) / XP Pro/256 MB/40 GB/15TFT/CD-RW/DVD-LAN

  Can I take the PC2700?
  Not for the best performance, but it is cheaper!

  In addition, it is the same problem with 512 MB...

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, you can take PA3311U - 1 M 25 (PC2700 DDR).

  Hi Barry,.

  I'd be inclined to return your laptop to an authorized Service Agent Toshiba. The OEM software should not require all the updated drivers at this early stage of his life, and the unit will be well within its warranty period.

  The closer your repairman details can be found on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite Pro A60 abandoned. Why?

  Hello

  Can someone tell me why this model is discontinued?

  Satellite Pro A60 - 832:P4 3.2 GHz / XP Pro / TFT 15 "/ 512 MB / 60 GB / DVD-R-RW / LAN"

  No particular reason?

  Hello

  On the reasons for this, we can only guess. I think Toshiba try to be better this business competition. It is just possible trough permanent new products with a hardware configuration different, always new and attractive design.

  In my view, attractive and modern laptops design is very important.
  What do you think of this?
