• Tecra A10-112 views

  Hi all

  I want to start by saying that I am an installer Toshiba phone systems. As this part of the corp, I am well impressed with their products and services. Nothing is big or inconvenient for them to process. As I was installing their systems I thought Id get a portable Tosh as well, it would do well for the customers and they have a good rep in the company...

  So, I bought a Tosh Tecra A10 112. It arrived today and to be honest, it was not cheap. I had only read a study on this subject yesterday after I bought it and it has not been too positive. But I want to make my own choices. I took it out of the box and to be honest, I was not blown away by the generation or the feeling. He had looked old and not much astonishment. That said, that he is not been bought for looks. So after hours of travel on some programs and files that I have to say it works well. His young, I love the Tosh software and overall, I'm impressed.

  The only part that really disappointed me was the screen. I thought it was a real brite and compared to my Toshiba laptop screen not expensive with a version of bright true terrible Tosh looks: (.) Nobody knows why they chose this screen? It seems that it is one of the few in the range of tosh that does not have this? If I like the thinking no, I am a little let down. Its only 2 things, but the look and the lcd screen... Anyone who has an opinion on this? Like I told her for installation systems and configuration of systems high definition CCTV is not to impress the ladies, but I would have a bit more for the price range of 1000 +...

  Hello Eoghan

  This laptop model is known to me and I want to just give some comments about it. Generally Tecra series belongs to the business notebook series. This series has also different Tecra products as a series, M-series or S-series. The difference is probably available Interfaces, RAM and HARD drive.

  In my opinion the a series is the lowest in this group. What laptop a company must offer the user? She has to offer:

  -very good and stable construction
  -flexibility in the use of different operating systems (Windows XP Home, Vista edition)
  -data protection
  -accessories and options as the second battery with a higher capacity HARD drive and so on.

  All that you ve to go with your Tecra. I understand what you mean with wow effect, but for commercial purposes the most important factor is reliability and not design. I think Toshiba A10 Design makes a notebook with classic look and it can be taken anywhere. For me, Toshiba has done very good job.

  WOW effect is specific for Portege series and also for the portable multimedia Qosmio.

  So I think that you have laptop bargains with a classic but attractive look.
  TrueBrite display is very interesting point. I noticed Toshiba didn't offer this form for several different Tecras. To be honest it is unclear to me that any Tecra is offered with TrueBrite screen.

  In the end, I wish you good luck and a lot of fun with your new toy. ;)

  Good bye

• VT is enabled on Tecra A10-112

  I am considering buying a Tecra A10-112 and I need to know if the VT instructions are enabled. It's a question mark or break for me because I want it to load 64-bit virtualization. I don't think it's as simple that if the processor supports, the BIOS must support it as well.

  I had problems before with a purchase of an Acer to find out that they had, apparently, voluntarily disabled the VT instructions and provided no way to turn them on and no way to upgrade the BIOS to allow their use.

  I use vmware on a Linux host, if that helps anyone to answer, but I don't think it'll make a difference.

  Thanks for your time

  Got an answer to my own question, so I'm just posting in case anyone else is interested.

  I just spoke to a very helpful guy called Andy, on the line to support UK. He said that Yes, it supports 64-bit virtualization. It was also very confident I could find Toshiba equipment superior to what I had owned previously. I hope it is correct.

• Keyboard with Tecra A10-112 problem

  I got my laptop Tecra A10 - 112 today and the first thing I noticed is that the keys 'L', 'R' and 'Y' makes very annoying loud clicking sound whenever they are turned on.

  There is no quick fix for this?

  > Toshiba has begun to moderate the Forum now and already denied my last post about the tightness of the A10 to publish screen

  This user forum is free and you can post anything you want, but I think you should be objective.

  > The model number you have listed is not yet available in the United Kingdom as far as I know. I was a happy with Toshiba customer, until I bought A10 - 112.
  Looks like you n t know that Toshiba offers different laptops in the different countries and each can series supports of different specification.
  So maybe this A10-112 is not distributed in the United Kingdom, but in other countries. I don't know that other A10 with similar specs can be purchased in the United Kingdom.

  Sorry I m not owner of the A10, but one of my friends bought this laptop and he asked me for the configuration.
  So I know that it is a laptop really good for the market with new features

  I respect your opinion, also because everyone can have different opinions, but don t forget to be objective
  If there is a hardware problem with your keyboard, ask for replacement!

• Tecra A10 - 12z - cannot install Win XP - No HDD

  Dear;

  I bought a new laptop Tecra A10 - 12z, having a Vista operating system.
  I fixed my laptop and now I want to install a Windows XP operating system

  When I install Windows xp, Setup Wizard download windows files, but it cannot start.
  Troubleshooting comes up saying there is a mistake and try to scan drive hard with / f for fixing.
  What can I do?
  I am in need for the version of Windows XP.
  My xp backup CDs are broken and I'm not in my country of today.

  Note: I tried to format the hard drive and also tried to install winxp on win vista, same problem same error.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  You was not able to install the Windows operating system because you have not installed the SATA drivers that are needed to recognize the new SATA HDD controller.
  The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.

  You can build an own Windows disc using nLite software and might include drivers SATA on this CD.

  I recommend research and read the forum discussions related this topic.
  There is a lot of discussion on the same topic!

• Tecra A10 - no sound using Win XP

  Hi all
  I have some problems with the sound of my Toshiba Tecra A10. I have already installed the Audio from Realtek driver and I see the little speaker symbol down on the right side, too.

  But I don't hear anything. The Device Manager has a yellow question mark on "Modem Device on High Definition Bus" Audio.

  I installed the Driver Modem Agere Systems, but nothing happened.

  Can someone help me and give me a link for this driver I need.
  I use Windows XP.

  Details of the material:

  HDAUDIO\FUNC_02 & VEN_11C1 & DEV_1040 & SUBSYS_11790001 & REV_1002\4 & 9E9AEC4 & 0 & 0101

  Kind regards

  > I use Windows XP.

  OK, although similar questions I with Win XP on other laptops with new HD audio from Realtek.
  The point is that you have SP2 and SP3!

  The SP2 and SP3 provides important patches and fixes for the HD audio
  Then firstly uninstall the Realtek audio driver.
  Then install the SP2 and SP3.
  Then go to Device Manager and remove the marked devices of yellow exclamation.
  Reboot the laptop.
  Now Win XP should find a new audio device and should ask the driver.
  No, you must install the audio driver from Realtek.
  Reboot once more and now the sound should works fine

• Tecra A10-112 - Windows Experience Index 3.4?

  The WEI score is 3.4 with all default settings. The details are the following:

  Processor: 5.4
  Memory: 5.1
  Graphics (office performance): 3.4
  Games graphics: 3.6
  Hard drive: 5.2

  I know that the integrated graphics card isn't help the score in any way. Toshiba A300D-15 b with AMD CPU 2.1 scores 4.8 which has a graphics card dedicated.

  Do not play games, but the disappointing thing is that the performance of office are less than the score of the game.

  Now the question is do I seriously take WEI or the integrated graphics (Intel GMA 4500MHD) is quite good for the time being and for Windows 7?

  Please take into account the fact that A10 - 112 has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 and I think to the graphics card integrated is no match for this resolution in particular with Vista, what you think?

  Hello

  To be honest I think nothing of it. The Windows experience index is ok, but in my opinion it s not really significant.

  But some values are interesting;
  As much as I know graphics performance score Office represents s graphic performance of the system using the Windows Aero Desktop feature. As you've experienced the Aero needs a lot of graphical resources and in my opinion, this value is lower.

  But generally the Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD isn't bad.
  Graphics memory (performance) can increase the upgrade of the main RAM.
  Thus, for example Vista 32 bit OS:

  RAM 1 GB - dedicated video memory = 64 MB - system memory shared = 158MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 286MB
  2 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 702MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 830MB shared system memory
  RAM 3 GB - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory
  4 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory

  Vista 64-bit OS:
  RAM 1 GB - dedicated video memory = 64 MB - system memory shared = 158MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 286MB
  2 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 702MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 830MB shared system memory
  RAM 3 GB - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1214 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1342 MB shared system memory
  4 GB RAM - dedicated video memory = 128 MB - = 1631 MB - TOTAL graphic memory available = 1759 MB shared system memory

• Tecra A10 - refurbished - cannot get it connected to my home network

  I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop... before I take this back I ask here in case where theres something I missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.

  I use a Belkin wireless router that has 2 main (LAN) directly connected PC and another PC connected wireless.
  It's my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0

  All PC connected and fine work.
  Now I'm setting up this laptop to connect.

  I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the product recovery disc that came with the Tecra XP Pro.

  Is my wireless card: Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (pilot Date: 27/04/2008 - the driver Version: 12.0.0.73)

  He sees the network, but no matter what I try just does not connect.

  What I've done so far (read before suggesting things I've already tried):

  Reconfigured routers WPS to the shared key system.

  Ensured that the wireless adapter's parameters defined at 20 / 40 Hz (automatic)

  Restarted the router, cable modem & laptop several times

  Laptop wireless button is turned on.

  FN + F8 to activate BLUETOOTH WIFI (ON) (OFF)

  Wireless network added to settings Auto Connect with the end SSID and password encryption method.

  Click on connect when network appear in the revamped network and Password Viewer dialog.

  Does not.

  I would add that the laptop has no problem connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.

  Something else I'm missing?

  Thanks in advance.

  EDIT: Double post deleted.

  UPDATE:

  The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Professional recovery disk to see if it has suffered from the same problem.

  Wireless has worked under Vista, and despite the updates I was offered, worked without having to update all the drivers.

  This got me thinking... so the question is probably DRIVER XP related.
  What I've done now is to back up all the updates driver told me to download TEMPRO (BIOS & Manager wireless updates included).

  I think part of the problem is that only TEMPRO works under Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates may be required if you upgrade to XP directly after the purchase (which is what I did).

• Tecra R850-1EP: cannot use fingerprint on logon Windows 8.1

  Hello

  I would update my laptop Tecra R850-1EP on windows 8.1, after an update of windows, I couldn't use the fingerprint to log my windows account.

  When I'm in my session, the fingerprint will do its job, I can manage my fingerprints.

  I already try to uninstall/install the fingerprint utility and drivers.

  On the opening of the session, I don't have the logo of the fingerprint as as I 'can' t use

  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To be honest, I put t know exactly what's going wrong with the procedure of the fingerprint, but I guess that can be linked to the wrong update to Win 8.1
  Probably, you have not exactly followed the update procedure that is recommended by Toshiba.

  Here you can find the update to the Windows 8.1 EU Toshiba Web site:
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

  and here you can find the [Instructions step by step to update to Windows 8.1 | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/]

  You must follow these steps exactly in order to get the laptop works properly.

  That's why I recommend you put the laptop back to factory settings and repeat the whole update process once more after the + step by step Instructions.

• Tecra A10 - 112 - the lid seems to be loose

  After the earlier disappointment with the keyboard, I turned on the computer to perform more tests.

  When I open and close the cover the cover of the screen seems to be loose.
  Do you have the same impression too? It certainly doesn't feel like any other laptop I've used in the past.

  Hi dude

  Found your topic. and all I can tell you is that if you think that it is a hardware problem, then you should contact Toshiba service partner allowed in your country (as already suggested in another thread).

  In my view, the screen should t be loose and therefore control of the laptop is recommended.

  How to connect F30 - 122 to THE 32R73B and where to put to the top of the screen (Fn + F5 gives me a lot of options, bios, Nvidia settings)?

  I tried the VGA cable, but the picture is bad. I can't use full LCD TV resolution (1366 x 768), just of 1024 * 768.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi guys

  Reaver-> nice description (;)) photo but it of possible only if the certainty of screen resolution (1366 x 768) is available in the list of drivers.)
  You will not be able to choose if the graphics driver doesn t contain this resolution.

  Hello

  Is it possible to reset the BIOS on a Tecra A10-112 password?

  Thank you!

  Of course, there's way, but this kind of info is top secret and certainly not to be posted on the public forum.
  This is characteristic of very important security and cannot be discussed here.

  Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and they can remove for you.
