• Satellite A210 - 17L - SD reader is not working properly

  Hello

  My Equiuim A210 - 17l bought last January has a SD reader built in but when I insert my 4 GB SD card is not always recognize it is present or auto-launch.

  If it does not recognize the card he made "autoplay" but the picture have lines through them when the transfer of the SD card on the hard drive that doesn't exist not on the original image.

  I tried my roommates SD card and the same problems occur and have also checked my SD card reading on my laptop working from HP which works very well.

  Please help me. Is it software or hardware related? How can I solve this problem? I have currently lost my mini cable USB transfer for the camera so that cannot access to the photo!

  See you soon

  Hello!

  See your user manual. Equium A210 supports SD up to 2GB and SDHC cards 4 GB cards.
  SD card you have is perhaps not an SDHC card.

  In addition to format the SD card with the utility of the Toshiba SD card and then try again.

• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

• Satellite A210 - 17L - screen turns off

  Hello people,

  I have a similar problem to [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61255&tstart=15], screen turns off by itself randomly, but backlight remains lit and laptop always seems to work (judging by fan). This started after upgrading Vista to Windows 7 (new installation), there was no problem before. I tried to update the display driver, first ATI Catalyst, then Toshiba official one, the customer pays less often, but still doesn't work, it's nice embarrassing ;) It occurs regardless if the laptop is used or just slowed down and is not caused by overheating or saving energy, also cell is generally connected with mounted battery.

  I have the last opportunity to go and update the BIOS, but I'm in fear of bricking the thing, so he would try as a last resort.

  Any idea guys?

  Thank you

  Hello

  There is an easy way to solve this problem: connect an external monitor and check what happens. If everything is ok on the external monitor installation (Windows) and internal monitor are ok, the problem must be internal monitor itself.

  If it s the monitor itself it s inverter FL, LCD cable or LCD itself. That s is not easy to say on this virtual path for your laptop needs to be checked to an authorized service provider. Guys can make an accurate diagnosis.

• Satellite A210 - 17l - keyboard does not respond

  Hello

  I have a problem that is driving me crazy.
  When I press F2 or F12 to switch on the keyboard behaves as it should.
  However if trying to load a Boot CD or Usb car via the options F12, the device is recognized
  but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.
  What makes strange, is that an external keyboard is recognized but the mirrors one internal.
  I have the latest version of the bios update.

  F2 in the bios - ok keyboard.
  Start in win7 - keyboard ok.
  Insert bootable back disk via F12 option-charges but no keyboard reagent.
  I think a partial corrupt bios
  Someone has ideas about problem or even a solution.

  but click on any other key, the cursor just sits there intermittently at me and the keyboard does not respond.

  And what should happen on this stage?

  For me, this looks like a problem with your startup disk.
  I installed OS using different disks of Microsoft or USB recovery media and all you have to do is click on most of the time on the button NEXT.

  If the keyboard works in BIOS and Windows, I see no problem with the keyboard there.

• My Satellite A210-183 stops randomly

  My Satellite A210 stops leaving to chance the power led and HDD led orange and on / off as the HD works.
  The only way to restart is to take off the power, remove the battery for a few seconds and then restart...

  It cannot be the battery as it does with the battery as well.

  Help!

  Have you noticed a temperature higher in Notepad?

  If yes then the laptop stops due to a higher temperature. Usually this called overheating and the laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.
  In most cases, the vents are clogged and air cannot circulate properly.

  I think that if you take away the dust from the cooling fans and grills so the laptop is running more stable.
  You can remove the dust using a jet of compressed air.

  In addition, make sure that there is enough free space around the laptop.
  Which helps to maintain the temperature at the lower level.

• Satellite A200 - stop randomly

  Hello

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 will stop randomly. First I thought, that the CPU is overheating, but its temperature is 50 degrees (Celsius), and it is good (I also change the fan). But my ATI radeon HD2600 graphics card has 50 degrees too and that's a too high temperature for nothing to do.

  Where could be the problem? What is the temperature of my gpu of closing?

  Thank you

  Sometimes when I turn on my computer, the temperature of the GPU is only 30 degrees
  I have a dualboot XP and Windows 7. When I turn on XP, the computer shuts down when booting, when I turn on Windows 7, it's not stop immediately

  Hey,.

  > First I thought, that the CPU is overheating, but his temperature is 50 degrees (Celsius)
  How to measure the temperature?
  As much as I know there is no formal program of Toshiba to check the temperature, and the 3rd party tools can show wrong temperatures.

  > But my ATI radeon HD2600 graphics card has 50 degrees too and that's a too high temperature for nothing to do.
  Who said that 50 ° C is too high for the GPU? In my opinion it s normal and ok, it won't be a problem.

  In your case, I would follow the instructsions here:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  Theoretically it could also be possible that the thermal grease is too old and should be replaced. This can be done from an authorized service provider.

• Re: Satellite A210 - cooling fan will not stop running

  I am owner of a Satellite A210 laptop. I've owned this during 2-3 weeks. Thursday, I noticed that my fan was working very hard, fast and never stop. Before that, he'd come rarely. I restarted the computer and once it came the fan came and does not stop. I left it for 30 minutes and it still continues. I checked down to see if she was overheated and it wasn't. I bought a little chilled out air and breathed he threw the two events, but she still continued.

  Should I take back at the store that I bought and ask if they can fix this problem or is there a solution that I have not found?

  Thank you
  Tyler

  Hello

  Try it please change the option of cooling method in the power settings to see if the cooling fan works more slowly. If there is no difference, you can contact the store and see what they say about it.

• Satellite A665-11z starts to load then stops randomly

  Hi all

  I bought this second hand Toshiba A665-11z to see that when I'm connected to the PSU, the dough starts to load and then stops randomly load... after a few seconds he could come back, and sometimes it just stops loading completely.

  When this is the case of the power button turns off, as well as on top of the touch pad.

  The lights on the front of the laptop navigate whites for POWER supply, off for walking and pink flashes for the battery. The backlit keyboard turns off too and will not continue until the load is back.

  Once I started typing this post he disconnected fresh form, I reconnected it and now it is not happened again.

  The original operating system was Windows Home Edition premium 32-bit, but this lappy is bundled with 4 GB of RAM so the previous owner installed a licensed version of WIn 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

• Satellite A200 (PSAE3E) - stops randomly

  Hi all!

  I got an A200 PSAE3E in my possession which stops randomly. He really died the hard way. I have excluded a software problem, because even this wenn waiting for PXE, so no start-up of the drive HARD or another device...

  The only idea I have left is to Flash the BIOS to get it to work again properly as I thought it might have something to do with faulty breaks? Or anything that leaves the BIOS to be originally...
  When he is not the BIOS, then the motherboard itself must be faulty which leaves me only one option: throw this piece :-D

  * Up to now, the real question: how Flash BIOS without using an operating system like Windows? Is it a kind of combination of button I can press start so he can a BIOS file from a USB flash? *

  Help would be very appreciated.

  Hi medis,.

  Without an operating system it s not possible to update the BIOS. All updates of BIOS provided on the official website of Toshiba are windows, depending on whether you need an operating system running up-to-date BIOS.

  To be honest I have don t think that the BIOS is the reason for this

  The laptop is overheating or hardware malfunction s motherboard or the CPU

  If it s just an overheating issue you can solve the problem yourself by cleaning radiator with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.
  If it doesn t help you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys have professional tools to make an accurate diagnosis of your laptop, so they can tell you what to do in this case.

• Satellite A210-1AP stops working - gel system

  I am the owner of the Satellite A210-1AP.
  Buy laptop in May and since that time I have problems with the system freeze. Is it possible this computer with 2.1 GHz; 2 GB of memory; 512 MB of video memory on Windows Vista Home Premium cannot work with music and Skype on the same time (of course the WiFi is enabled).

  What is the problem? System? Bad drivers? Antivirus (Nod32 Smart Security 3)? Configuration of the week?

  Please if anyone can answer or try to help me?
  I am no newbie with computers.
  It is my first Toshiba but third notebook comps since 95.

  I'm crazy about reboot and freezing.
  If there is no help in thinking to sell it.
  Thanks for any help!

  Nenad

  Hey Buddy

  I understand very well this freezing system is very annoying and crazy.

  I ve got a laptop for 7 years and had a similar problem. The system froze suddenly and only a reboot of the laptop has helped.
  After a long investigation, I discovered that one of my modules of memory was faulty.
  I presume that a temperature high affected of the memory module.
  I replaced the faulty RAM and could solve the problem.

  Oh I forgot to say that I have reinstalled my OS first to ensure that it is not a software problem (OS).

  I think you should make the check even if the problem could be solved by using the recovery CD. The recovery CD will be programmed the phone to the factory settings and normally everything should work without problem.

  If the problem persists, then a hardware problem might be possible

  But no man panic, it seems, your warranty is valid. So contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.
  In my view, the guarantee should cover everything.

  Good luck
