• Strange beep on my Satellite M70

  Hello
  While working on my Toshiba Satellite M70 - 159, from time to time, I hear a beep (about 0.5 sec.) There is no announcement on the screen and the computer works normally. It has no meaning if it works on the adapter or batteries. It happens once or twice a day, usually after a few hours of work. I have read, it could be linked to the temperature of the processor, but how do I check it? Someone has an idea what could be the reason for this beep and what do I do with it?
  Best regards,
  Piotr

  Hello

  In my opinion, all the software of measurement of temperature are not precise.
  You should consult the Web site or contact the support of this tool, because they know how it works. In my opinion if you don t use temperature sensors you can not get an exactly the temperature of ie. CPU or HARD drive.

  Good bye

  (Radeon HD 2600 issue - computer laptop Satellite A blocks ati2dvag)

  Sometimes it will crash after 15 minutes sometimes after 4 hours. Then I have to restart windows and everything will be fine for many hours. I think there is no problem with the contacts or cables, because I don't have to move the laptop before restarting. I searched for hours on the net I have a solution. This is the first forum where I met someone with the same problem. Someone has an idea?
  I already did:
  update the drivers from the Toshiba site
  using 16 bits display
  disable the powermanagement (Powerplay) of the pole of catalyst

  Sorry for my bad English

  Pepe greetings

  PS: I try to answer in the thread above, but it will not show my answer. So I have tom open a new threat with my Question, sorry

  As said by Akuma, try a BIOS update.

  You also have the problem on an external monitor?

  I think the problem is a faulty graphics card or a problem with the driver. If you have not reinstalled Windows, try this.

• Irregularly beep on Satellite A210-16f

  Hi, I would like to ask the following question:

  I have Toshiba Satellite A210-16f (since October 2007).
  I have irregular short beep (ca 1 sec) coming out of the right side of my laptop (near right speaker, key DELETE or DC in...).

  I hear it very irregularly - sometimes twice a day, sometimes once in two weeks.

  Does anyone know what is it?
  Thank you.

  To be honest, this question is unclear to me. If person not the posts here this topic I recommend you contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Call and ask if something like this is known or not.

  BTW: What is your laptop pre-installed with the original recovery image (factory settings)?

• Satellite A210-14 - strange problem with new WLAN adapter Intel 4965agn mm1

  The initially installed atheros wireless network adapter is just b/g and too slow for my network/needs

  So I bought a one n-project: mm1 4965agn (intel) (he got a toshiba p/n and s/n too)

  I replaced the atheros one and plugged the Intel - booted and installed the drivers - restart-> adaper works very well-> reboot - nb stops at the toshiba BIOS screen without loading all the windows. I can't even to the BIOS-> removed Intel wlan adapt nb boots and as usual.

  Please let me know what I need to do to make things work

  Hi chubbyhamster,

  To me, it sounds like this map isn't WLAN compatible with your laptop. I guess that all wireless network adapters are compatible with all laptops (assignment of pins e. g.).

  As far as I know use fast N project you need 3 antennas. I think Satellite A210-14 has just two antennas because only WIFI b/g card built in. This means that you can upgrade your laptop to the project speed N t.

  Alternative you can use the LAN card or a USB key which takes in charge the project N, but in my view, WIFI b/g standard should be fast enough

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 do not recognize the optical disc drive

  I have a satellite A210 - 1 4 who recognize the strange.
  The drive has power and running disks but does not appear as a drive in MY COMPUTER.

  It is also not recognized in the Bios.
  I updated the Bios and tried to install the firmware but the message that the drive is not found.

  I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  If anyone has had similar problems, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > I tried in another computer and it works fine.
  You have tested optical drive in another computer?
  In any case, if the STRANGE is not recognized in the BIOS I'm afraid controller ODD m is defective. It comes to the motherboard so there is not some sort of easy solution.
  I don't think you can do much except to swap the motherboard.

• Satellite A210 - 11K - serious starting problems

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 11K which has recently developed serious problems with start up. It makes a very loud beeps when I turn on the laptop.

  Sometimes, the automatic recovery feature manages to recover the boot process and I can use the laptop as usual. But, at other times, I get a message indicating that automatic recovery could not repair the beginning upward and then I have to turn off the power for a day or two and try again.

  The laptop also sometimes stops working after about half hour usage.
  Please can someone help?

  Hello

  To be honest, the issue described doesn't sound like a software / system related problem, but nevertheless I think that you should try the s for laptop system recovery using the Toshiba recovery disc (of course if it is available).

  In case you n t have this recovery media, I recommend you try the system reset using Microsoft own disc. essential drivers are available on the Toshiba driver page.

  If the system recovery would not work, a hardware problem (HARD drive?) may be the reason why the laptop can not boot the system properly. But it is just a presumption

  However, I think that's a good point to begin troubleshooting

• Question about 1.70 - victory on Satellite A210-19 bios

  Hi all
  I have satellite A210 - 19A and I found a new victory in version 1.70 of the bios on toshiba website. Is it written somewhere of what precisely it fixed? I ve got BIOS version 1.50 now and my pc works well so I don't know if it's good to install it. I fear some strange things could happen and I know that I can't go back return old bios, or what I can?

  Unfortunately, Toshiba doesn't publish details on the improvements in the BIOS.

  But buddy note; If your laptop works properly without worries, then a BIOS update is not necessary. You should know that an update of the BIOS is always risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM. module
  That is why a BIOS update must be done ONLY as a last resort!

• Satellite A210-184: How can I restore the OS?

  Hmm... strange...

  anyway... I bougth this computer a few years ago, and now I want to format it, but since the CD drive broke down near after buying the computer ive not been able to do a restore using my CD

  So I borrowed an external Cd-rom drive... and yet it does not start from him...
  I tried all the possible solutions can be found on the internet, and yet it is not possible...

  When I try to restore from a previous backup, I can't restore factory default, even when I choose the partition hidden... as there is no files on it... apparently its empty...

  I tried the press C, 0, repair F8 and everything... won't let me...
  When I reach the menu and press the last option "restore windows to defautl" it just says: "If the files are damaged or corrupt, please use Witch of the cd provided with your computer..." This option is to press OK (not then like some said guides)... and brings back me to the original menu...

  I tried the "full pc recovery", but I get the message "theres no directory valid blah blah blah, insert the CD rigth and or a HARD drive or select the backup location ', but it won't let me select any other directory...

  So overall...

  Cannot restore from the hidden partition and cannot restore from cd when even he supposed to work...
  Cannot install xp on it, Vista is blocked... and cannot restore factory default...

  So overall... I received a computer witch is more or less just useless in vu and im really consider throw it...

  I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...

  Hi dude

  > I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...
  I put t agree with you.

  First of all I m owner of the satellite A210 as well and my laptop work properly since the first day.

  My A210 was not equipped with HARD drive recovery option, but there was a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that helps create the recovery disk.

  If you want to retrieve the laptop, you need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

  If you are not able to boot from the disc then your ODD (CD/DVD) drive may be defective.
  This means that you need to replace the ODD.

  But note; not all dimensions are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings
  And this isn't just a case for Toshiba laptop, but for all mobile phones from different manufacturers!
  Ratings slimline don t support no rider, but are controlled by the firmware software and, therefore, you should choose one compatible

  You can also read a user manual are enough details and information about the recovery process so well in most cases, reading allows you to get more information

• Satellite A210 - 15K - broken drive

  Hello
  I have Toshiba Satellite A210 - 15K for nearly 2 years and my DVD player is broken recently.
  When I put in CD or DVD drive to read. He tries for several minutes, but to no avail.
  OS, I reinstall not so long ago.
  Sometimes the reader read the discs, but it's a miracle :D

  My request... I want to buy the new drive, but I do not know "that he will be fit?
  It is SONY AD - 7670S.

  Thanks ^^
  + Sorry for my English.

  Hello

  You may not use any CD/DVD drive.
  You must use one that is compatible and supported.
  The fact is that you use a reader that contains the wrong master/slave/c-salt settings prevent the player BIOS recognizes.

  Although I know the laptop user manual should contain information on compatible CD/DVD players.
  Otherwise you could try to get in touch with a local ASP and can order the STRANGE compatible to these guys

• Problem chart satellite A210-14 - 2 vertical and symmetric lines

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A210-14 s ATI HD2600 1 last week, which, from the point of view of performance, convinces me really.
  Unfortunately, during this time, it happened twice, that * suddenly * got grainy and colours with increased contrast, including 2 symmetric and vertical lines of the same width (about 3cm).
  These lines also show the bottom, but with a different color.

  In addition, the horizontal view, some tasks began to Flash.
  The 2 times that has happened, the error seemed to have the same characteristics.
  In both cases, after a reboot, the symptoms of this family has disappeared.

  Attached some screenshots

  Now the important question: is it a hardware failure (GPU, RAM or same TFT) or maybe it's a driver problem? (I use the dedicated Toshiba Ati driver)
  Would be important to know in a period of time, due to the money back guarantee option, I have in Germany (14 days)
  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello

  It is not easy to give accurate diagnosis but if possible, try to test it with external display. If the problem persists it is probably caused by a faulty graphics card. You can also use a supplied recovery media and install OS again to see if something is changed.

  Anyway, your Satellite of new notebook with valid warranty. I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service partner and leave check your laptop.

  By the way: when you start your laptop have you noticed something strange when the Toshiba start screen happens?

• Satellite A210 - 1AO PSAELE - black screen problem

  Hello.

  I have a strange problem with LCD on my Satellite A210-1AO. Sometimes LCD does not work. The problem is only at startup, only not on closing LCD display or sleep mode. If I connect an external monitor - there is a picture, but with strange random points and lines. But if I remove the battery and the power adapter and leave the laptop for hours - after all can work very well (for days or weeks, even at startup). And then the problem reappears.

  Where could be the problem? Card video or LCD or something else?

  > If I connect an external monitor - there is a picture, but with strange random points and lines.
  > But if I remove the battery and the power adapter and leave the laptop for hours - after all can work very well

  Have you noticed a higher temperature while this happens?
  I mean that the higher temperature could affect the GPU (graphics chip) that cause this lines and points
  It wouldn't be unusual.

  Updating the graphics driver, what would you say?
  You use the Toshiba page?
  Do it!

  I've got A210 with an ATI GPU, and everything is OK!

• Satellite A210-16F cannot burn CDs or DVDs...

  Hi, I bought a Satellite A210-16f. I did the downgrade to XP Professional... Everything works fine, but I burn cds, dvdcs, audiocds can´t...
  I don't know if its problem of HW or SW problem... In Vista home I didn't try to burn a CD, because I reinstalled it XP.

  I use Nero 8, but after 3% of burn it show me error and Burning process failed
  Nero 7 shows me the same.

  I tried Toshiba disc creator and this SW shows me this:

  The ocured of following error to save data
  Stops the current process
  Error occurred during the registration phase...

  etc...

  Can U help me?

  Thanx

  Well, either it's a question madia or CD/DVD drive problem.
  Check another CD and DVD from different manufacturers.
  If the same thing happens to what different types of media, then it s a STRANGE HW issue.

• Satellite A210 - 4 1: Winload.exe problem after having used the product recovery disc

  Hello

  I could really do with some help here. I have a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4. Disk partitioned with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.

  Last night, I used the product recovery disc supllied with the laptop in an attempt to restore its initial configuration.

  and the end of the procedure, I find myself with a prompt cmd with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the high bit blue box indicating:

  Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 of ODD to C:\!

  Press a key to continue. Box disappears then an administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the top blue bit indicating:

  waiting for ODD vacancies...
  STRANGE drive f: loan.
  Look for support in the F: drive...
  Failed to initialize the raid class.
  No RAID - continue normally...

  X:\Windows\System32 >

  Now every time the laptop trying to restart it just comes up with the error message:

  CANNOT START WINDOWS. A RECENT HARDWARE CHANGE OR SOFTWARE MAY BE THE
  CAUSE
  FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD. EXE
  STATUS: 0XC000000E
  INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
  IS MISSING OR DAMAGED

  Below I have then have the possibility of esc or continue with the same result of the system attempts to restart.

  The recovery disc has no option of repair on this subject.

  need help please, I have no idea.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Looks like something was wrong during the recovery procedure.
  Have you tried to recover the laptop once more?
  If this isn't the case, you should definitely try this!

  You are right; hasn t drive recovery option for the repair because the recovery disk is not the same as a MS Vista drive. The recovery disk contains image files (it s a package) and the files contains Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  So if something was happening well wrung out during the recovery procedure, you will not be able to repair the installation of the OS, but you need to run it again.
