Tecra A10 - 112 - the lid seems to be loose

• 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

• Tecra A10-112 - cannot use 8 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my TECRA A10 - 112 PTSB1E (Windows 7 and Server 2008), when I upgrade to 6 GB ram (1 x 4 GB + 1 x 2 GB), there is no problem what so ever (52 MB hardware reserved + 5700 MB useful) Windows.

  But when I go to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) I get material dedicated to the memory of 4297MB and 3129MB of memory used (under windows) and I can not find how to reduce it to 6 GB levels. The bios sees 8GB, windows detects the 8 GB and the fact CPUID. I tried to update my BIOS on Toshiba support site, but I get "Computer not supported" message when I run the update file, I downloaded at Toshiba.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Andy

  Hello

  It would be interesting to know which modules of memory you use exactly. You use the noname or high quality, e. g. Kingston modules?

  Maybe the modules are not fully compatible, so you should test the other modules.

  Also, what program/tool tells you this information on reserved hardware memory? If the BIOS and Windows recognize 8 GB, everything should be ok.

• 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
  Do you hear this announcement? I think you're a bit confused

  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!

• 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.

• Tecra A10 - update the BIOS does not work on Windows 7

  Upgrade the BIOS for TECRA A10/M10 and Satellite Pro S300/S300M to v1.90 version using P0065v190.exe (bios 20090304141534) fails with the message:

  "The [error] BIOS update is not taken in charge of operating system. No support for operating system or service pack is installed. »

  Note: Running as Administrator returns the same error.

  Probably Windows 7 only is not supported but, it must be explicit protection since the release of Vista should work in 7. There is no update setting to jump this protection?

  BIOS update is designed and tested for some OS. Win7 is not on the market and now Toshiba offers tested BIOS updated for Vista only.
  Sorry, but what else to say. You probably know how supposed BIOS updated and it can be dangerous. So do not play with this and do not untested experimenting with such things.

  Win7 will be placed on the market in a few months and Toshiba will start a public support. You can wait a few weeks isn't it?

• 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

• Instructions for Debian Linux on Tecra A10-112

  Hello

  If you need to install Linux (I use Debian), then take a look at: http://www.martinjones.net/tecra/

• The screen seems to be loose on the slides. Is this normal or should I change it?

  The screen and the keyboard appear to be a little loose on the slides. Are all the phones like this or I have to exchange it for another? I want to check before you go through the hassle of an Exchange. I've never had a phone slider style before. I have the Motorola karma qa 1
  Thanks for you suggestions.

  Unfortunately, 'losing a bit' is not sufficiently precise for a comparison with the Karmas other users.

  In my case, if I move the screen, half of the device when it is released there is some movement, but not much.  But I like the fact that the halves to slide out easily.

  If you are worried, I'd say go an at & t store and play with their demo unit.  See how it compares.

• Tecra A10 - pad touch and the keys do not work on Windows 7 x 64

  We have recently done a new install of Windows 7 x 64 on a Toshiba Tecra A10.
  The operating system has taken over most of the drivers, we had to install drivers for the card reader ourselves.

  Our problem is that the touchpad and the buttons work at all.
  The driver displayed in devices such as manager being installed, but that's all. I even installed the control panel of the Alps (Vista x 64) which works very well.
  Have tried the settings "stick and touchpad are automatically invalidated" when you use an external USB mouse, all to nothing done.

  The equipment worked perfectly okay with Windows 7 32 bit installed.

  Is there a fix here?

  Hello

  Maybe it of just a driver issue, I checked the downloads available for Tecra A10 on page of Toshiba and Windows 7 32 bit there is a newer driver available for Windows 7 64 bits do not (no driver). If you use the Vista 64 bit driver

  What you can do is to test the driver for the touchpad for Tecra A11. There is a version more recent for Windows 7 64 bit of Alps Electric so correct. Touchpad driver is not linked so I sure it will also work on your model of m.

  Take a look at the Web of Toshiba Tecra A11 driver site:

• Tecra A10 with Intel WiFi 5100 running Vista 32 bit fails to connect WiFi

  Hello

  a whole new Tecra A10 with buildin Intel 5100 WiFi fails to connect to the Wlan router, using the pre-installled Vista Business 32-bit. Vista has always said: wrong password.

  Yes, Wifi hardware is enabled, of course. And Tecra WiFi OK MAC is stored in the config of the router. Also the WiFi settings were correct (wpa2-psk aes), corresponding to the Wlan router. Password WPA2 is 13 characters. Connect all the other machines with a Wlan successfully turns a working Wlan configuration and use of the correct password.

  I installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site - without success. I also installed the version of the driver from the Intel site will, too--without success. Doesn't matter what tool I used to connect, Vista itself, or the specific tool of Toshiba (Radar), choice to get an encrypted Wlan connection.

  WPA2 and WPA or WEP can be used. I can't get a Wlan connection when encryption is totally * disabled *! Currently, I use a * clear * Wlan to use this Tecra A10 in the network. Real gross and no solution for more than a few days.

  All other devices in the same network can connect the router Wlan with WPA2-PSK and WEP, no problem. Only the A10 / WiFi 5100 fails.

  Searching the Web I found really many reports all issue of WiFi with a WiFi 5100 devices, so it seems to be a generic material or / and driver issue.

  How can I correct this Wifi 5100 connect problem and use encryption WPA2-psk on Tecra A10 and WiFi 5100 with Vista? If this is not possible, I have to return this laptop and get another model with a working Wifi / Wlan Hardware.

  Thank you.

  Hello Thomas

  Have you tried to connect your laptop to another router by friends or elsewhere?
  It is really strange that you can use any of the WIFI ciphers available.
  Have you tried to reboot your router?

  I have Satellite A300-1LI with the same card, WLAN, preinstalled with Toshiba recovery WXP image and I use it sometimes linked to the WLAN with WEP encryption.
  Have you tried to contact Toshiba or your local dealer for advice?

• Tecra A10 does'nt recognize 2nd HARD drive in the Bay of the STRANGE

  Hello

  My TECRA A10 - 1 HG PTSB1E does'nt recognize my second HDD that has taken the place of the cd-rom.
  I use a SATA caddy and the boot of the A10 with a CD-rom error!
  is it not possible to use a shopping cart with a TECRA A10?
  Does anyone have a solution?

  Thank you for your experience of return.
  Best regards

  Hello

  I guess that the Tecra A10 does not support these updates.
  The 2nd SATA controller does not seem to support the additional HDD instead of ODD.

  But I've read a few things to get such2nd as recognized HARD drive.
  You must start the laptop without the HARD drive caddy in ODD Bay.
  After that the Windows system has started, you can plug/connect the HARD drive caddy and system PnP service should recognize the new device.

  I think this isn't the best solution, but it seems like it s the only way to get this HDD caddy recognized in the Bay of the STRANGE

• Tecra A10 - left key of the mouse on the touchpad is "locked".

  Left click Mouse touchpad is a little distorted. I had a peek inside the palmrest, and there is a white plastic stand thing that broke. It seems to happen this way with a large number of these particular models. Please do you know is there a repair or the thing below available to replace the broken white plastic and if necessary

  How much does it cost?
  All the other tecra a10 users have the same problem with this model.
