• "Satellite A210-171-freezing error event ID - Kernel-WHEA.

  Hello

  In January 2008, I bought this laptop satellite (A210-171) and have during the month or so it started to freeze, and the only solution is a hard re boot, after which it is fine for awhile. I fear that I will lose all my data or it will go wrong at the wrong time and so I would like to get it fixed.

  According to Event Viewer, it's Kernel-WHEA Event ID 2

  Does anyone know any task etc that may fix this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Laptops or the OS can freezes for different reasons.
  The freezing system can be caused by a faulty memory, but this issue could also be related to corrupt software.

  If you, it would be very interesting to know if the system hang after a clean install. ?:|

  I have a Satellite A210. I installed Xp and Vista and I n t notice serious trouble with the laptop.

  In my opinion, you should study a bit.

• Satellite A210-171 - curriculum vitae of Vista failed

  Satellite A210-171 running Windows Vista 32-bit Home.
  At the start, I have Windows RESUME loader screen showing error and asking to choose either 'continue with system summary' or 'Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu. BUT the keyboard does not respond (not even to select the caps lock). Must turn off switch to restart.

  All on a touch after the startup splash screen Toshiba produces a blank screen (same f8 and other function keys).
  Tried default BIOS settings to no effect.

  This problem occurred a few months before and has been resolved by wiping of hard disk and put on a fresh copy of windows from a CD of Vista. Now, it's back--cannot keep from scratch!

  To be honest I n don't know what can be the reason of this problem. If you don t have some important data saved to disk HARD reinstall Vista with recovery DVDs.
  When bring you your laptop, press F12 to enter the boot menu, put the recovery DVD in the optical disc drive, choose the CD/DVD drive in the menu and press ENTER.

  Just follow the menu on the screen and reinstall Vista.

  By the way: this model works perfectly with Win7 32 bit so if there is a possibility, I recommend you to use Win7.

• Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

  What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

  Hi turboiwan,

  As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

  For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

• Where to find maintenance manual to disassemble the satellite A210-171

  Hi guys.

  I'll have a bit of a dilemma with my computer laptop satellite A210-171.
  The CPU fan plays up and I need to replace.

  The problem is that I'm unable to strip this thing down.
  I already have some small studs plastic broken on the Strip above the keyboard, and I now know exactly how to remove the touchpad and the cover.

  I use the FRU guide for satellite A210 claiming to also apply to the satellite a210 series, but many of the screws indicated in the guide are not on this laptop.
  The position of some components also differ.

  I'm not familiar with working with computers and their components, but when it comes to laptops, I feel very uncomfortable when something does not move and I don't see why.

  If someone could direct me to the right guide FRU for my model or ome other material of appropriate reference, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, maintenance manuals don't are not downloadable did not find all pages that provide these manuals only manuals that are also pre-installed on Toshiba laptops can be downloaded.
  But as far as I know Satellite A210 is the same as Equium A210 so the two series are not very different.

• Satellite A210 - 171 (PSAFJE) - powers but does not start

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me. I have a satellite A210 - 171 (PSAFJE). When I press the power button, the blue satellite lights text at the front left lights up, the light blue power (O with a top vertical bar) the HARD turns, the clique CD/DVD drive on a couple of times and its orange light flashes but nothing (BIOS and POST) is displayed on the screen.

  The battery and the power supply are fine.

  I tried to fix a screen of stand-alond without result.

  The CPU HSF seems to be spinning and blowing air on the side.

  I removed the HDD SATA and attaches to a desktop system - it reads and looks quite good.

  I reinstalled the SODIMM - in fact, I removed the and then replaced them, everyone in the slot on the other.

  When powered, if I press on the "* FN *' & ' * F10 *' keys together, the indicator below the F10 lights & stays on until I repeat the sequence of button.» This happens not with ' * FN *' & ' * F11 *'.

  I downloaded a * + Satellite A210/A215 Satellite Pro A210, Equium A210, Satego A210 Series Maintenance Manual + * (first edition may 2007) but the instructions for * + remove the keyboard + * do not appear to be correct and notes to open the laptop (to have a look on the system map) say you must do this first (and appear not to be accurate in any case).

  Someone has an idea what more I can do, what might be the problem or where I can get the valid instructions for opening the case?

  Thanks much for any help.

  > Someone any idea more I can do, what could be the problem or where I can get the valid instructions for opening the case?

  In my opinion, you did all that would help determine the possible fault
  I would check also the RAM and the HARD drive first, it seems that the HARD drive is ok and that the RAM modules are not the problem. I don t think that the two modules of RAM might be bad at the same time, so I think that the problem can not be linked to the faulty RAM.

  It is possible that the CPU or the motherboard is affected, but in this case, some diagnostic tools are needed that would allow to obtain more details on the affected parts

  But this can be done by a technician of Toshiba ASP so what to say that sounds like a serious hardware problem (motherboard, cpu, etc.)

  But try this: unplug the power adapter, remove the battery and leave the laptop disconnected for a while and then connect the two parts and try to turn on the laptop

  If this is not enough, it helps technician ASP would be necessary

• Satellite A210-171 supports Bluetooth

  I own a satellite A210-171.
  I don't know if there is a built-in Bluetooth.

  How can I tell if my laptop has built-in bluetooth or not?

  Check the bottom of the unit.
  If there is a Bluetooth label then the laptop was equipped with the internal Bluetooth module.

  If there is no label of BT, the BT module is not installed ;)

• Satellite A210-171 - unable to connect to any access point or router

  Hello. I don't know that this is the right forum. Not something I do normally but since I am desperate to solve this problem, I'll give it a shot.

  So I bought a Toshiba Satellite A210-171 nearly a year ago. It has a built-in wireless driver.

  The problem is, however, I can't seem to connect to any access point or router. What I end up getting most of the time are so a message saying that I am connected but with limited connectivity which means I can't access the internet. At other times, the network in range will appear in my network list, (with a signal strength excellent), but once I have select a message appears saying that the connection attempt has failed. And at other times my laptop detects the network connection and functions smoothly.

  I do not understand of course. So if someone could explain to me why my laptop selects and selects Wireless connections, that it connects and how I can solve this problem, I would be grateful!

  Thanks in advance

  Have you tried to update the driver on your laptop?
  Check the Toshiba site for an update:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads-download drivers online

  And if you are already on this site check for a BIOS update.

• Satellite A210-171 - new graphics card update

  Currently, I have a toshiba satellite A210-171 with an ATI Radeon® X 1200 graphics card.
  Mass effect on the laptop, I installed and I can't play it because my graphics card is good enough,

  I was just wondering if anyone knew a graphics card which i can have this laptop which is either NVIDIA GeForce 6 series (6800 GT or better), ATI X 1300 XT or better (X 1550, X 1600 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements).

  Hello

  I presume you didn't search forum discussions on upgrading graphic I'm right?
  In all threads, you can always find the same info; No, that s is not Possible!
  Mobile computer technology is just different, an upgrade to the graphics card can not be done!

  Laptops are very useful due to the portable but mobile use cannot be upgraded like current desktop PC.

• Satellite A210-171 - clean the fan/radiator

  I have a satellite A210-171. The fan runs strong at times, more heating and twice a day of closure, I guess I have to give it a good clean? It's anywhere, I looked I can't find instructions on how to clean my particular * do * and * model *.

  I know that I can use an air can without starting to dismantle things, but I think he needs a little more to get my laptop to work like new. Any help telling me where to look would be greatly appreciated, I hope as well as some pictures of cell being dismantled (eyes rolling)

  Thank you

  Hey Gradma Sue,

  Why you didn t use the forum search? You will find a sufficient number of threads on the cleaning of a Toshiba laptop.

  You only need compressed air spray. With this, you can blow the dust from the cooling fans and it of quite easy to use.
  I've created an interesting article from Toshiba that describes this step by step:

• Satellite A210-171 - how to check the color management

  I work with the software digital painter on my laptop (satellite A210-171)
  Because my colors are not the same when printed (with the help of a printer of Dell A.I.O.) told me to check my Colour Management on laptop.

  I go to control panel and click on color management
  Then I see a generic PnP monitor - when I click on the drop down menu next to it I found that my printer is listed.

  What should I do next?

  As stated in my other ads, I know only a teeny weeny bit about the computer so please if someone is kind enough to answer, step by step instructions gratefully appreciate

  Sue

  > If there is someone who can fix this error please do, so I hope that I will get an answer to the question
  Why you n t he correct yourself? You can change the own message!
  But it looks like someone already did

  I guess that your laptop uses the ATI graphics card. So, the ATI Catalyst Control Center should be available.
  Usually, you can set some parameters of color in ATI Catalyst Control Center-> color

• Satellite A210-171 - cannot install WLAN for Windows Vista driver

  I downloaded a driver for vista Realtek Semiconductor Corporation wireless lan.
  When I go to install the driver, I get the error message "this operating system is not supported".

  My system below details

  Toshiba Satellite A210-171

  I downloaded the driver from the website of UK.

  Could someone help me please in installation or help resolve the problems I'm having

  Hello Shadow

  Maybe a stupid question, but I would like to know why you need to install driver WLAN. As far as I know your laptop comes with Vista Home Premium. The recovery image (factory settings) contains the right WLAN driver.
  You have lost the feature or what?
  Are you still using an original preinstalled OS or you try ti install your own operating system?
