• Tecra A10 - 14 p Wont work on a working farm

  Hi guys, I have a Tecra A10 0n Win 7 x 64 Pro and worked perfect for centuries, all of a sudden the laptop went into hibernation and now a single initialize with AC plugged in.

  The battery is fine as I tried it on another laptop without problem.

  When I try to start computer laptop without plugged AC it charges on the Toshiba start screen for a few seconds then dies.

  Someone else had this or have any idea what could be the issue. Latest version of the BIOS has been for awhile and everything is correct drivers are installed.

  Laptop runs perfect with connected AC but trying to hibernate as soon as AC disconnects.

  The laptop can not take the power of the battery for more than a few seconds?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  > Laptop runs perfect with connected AC but tent hibernate as soon as AC disconnects.
  For me, looks like the battery charge level is very low and that the power management of the Win put the laptop mode operating system put into hibernation because of charge level.

  Maybe the laptop will not charge the battery properly.
  If you said that the battery is OK (don t know how test you) while there must be a problem with the battery charging system. This means that the motherboard is not OK.

  However, in your case I would test the laptop with a new battery to be 100% sure that this issue is not related to a defective battery.

• Unknown device on X 300 after downgrading to XP Pro

  Device Manager indicates an unknown device, possible identifying information is the Device Id of Instance = ROOT\MS_PSCHEDMP\0000. After the downgrade to XP Pro, I have updated all the drivers and the software by using the system update, but the unknown device is still showing. I have not yet tested Wi - Fi, but I think that everything else works fine. Everyone get this problem?

  Problem solved (I think), after unknown peripheral uninstall and re-analysis of a new material, it no longer appears.

• Tecra A10 - lost HDD Recovery for Vista

  Hello Toshiba,

  I bought a Tecra a month ago. Here are the details:
  Device name: Tecra A10 - 11L
  Unit number: PTSB0E-00C006AR

  For some reason I have to downgrade the machine in Windowx XP (using the CD-ROM supplied in the packaging recovery). I do not use Vista.
  Now I need to go back to the factory installed Vista Business.
  I didn't create a Vista recovery CD before downgrading to XP.

  I think I lost recovery disk for Vista.

  Then I found the site to order: https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/serial.aspx

  1. I'm not sure I'll order the recovery Vista or XP Media?, it shows (price (including VAT): EUR 29.33)
  What recovery media that I will get?
  a. VISTA Business recovery
  b. recovery XP Media? (that I have)

  2 is there a hidden partition that I can use it to retrieve the vista?

  Can someone help/guide me?

  Sincerely,

  Andrew

  You are right. After installing Windows XP edition family the HDD recovery went and it cannot be used to install more factory settings. There is no hidden partition and you can't do anything.
  I really don't understand why you ignored Toshiba reminder on creating recovery DVDs.

  In any case, I think that you will get Vista 32 Bit SP1 Business (EN) because with this OS is delivered and preinstalled Tecra.

• 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

  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!

• Cannot restore my Tecra A10 from recovery disc

  Hello

  I'm having a problem restoring my C disk from a disk image. The Toshiba HARD drive recovery utility seems to have disappeared from my computer.
  When I followed the instructions for restoring (be it by pressing 0, or F8 during startup to access the HARD drive recovery utility) I finally get a message saying

  "The creation of means of recovery is impossibe! File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found. There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

  (I get a similar message if I try to open the Toshiba recovery disc creator in the start menu)

  Because this does not work, I tried using recovery discs that I have made previously using the same utility. I insert the disk and start the computer (according to instructions), but nothing happens and it starts Windows normally. How can I use these discs?

  My laptop is a Tecra A10 16 d Windows vista professional.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  As much as I know saved on HARD drive recovery image can't disappear. I guess you did a few exchanges of structure of HARD drive and now recorded image is not found by the wizard of HARD drive recovery or Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. Both of these tools know where to look for it, but if they do not find specific markers you will get this message.

  Now the only option for you is the use of recovery disks.
  Do you use this disk for the first time now?
  When you check the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer you will see the content?

  Then try to boot using the created disc. Start Notepad, and then press F12. When the boot menu appears on the screen, place the disc in the ODD, choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER.

  What happens when you do this?

• Tecra A10: error recovery disc creator code: 0D00E4-F0-00000000

  Hello

  Last week, I bought a new laptop Toshiba Tecra A10.
  Today, I try to do a restore, an error pops up: no recordable discs are recognised on your PC or another application is using that drive. Please check the status of the drive.
  (Error code: 0D00E4-F0-00000000).

  Please help me solve this problem.

  Hello

  The error means that your CD/DVD drive is being used by another application or the inserted media is not registrable.

  I think that the error appears because of the inserted disc.
  I have read several times about similar problems and in most cases this error appears because the inserted DVD is not 100% compatible.
  In my opinion, you should try different DVD from different manufacturers.

  In my case the s TDK DVD - R worked well but run it s still a matter of CD/DVD that is installed in your laptop drive

• Tecra A10 - keyboard and Touchpad don't work anymore time in Windows XP

  Hello

  My TECRA A10 is a very strange problem since 1 month.
  At the start, in windows XP, keyboard, touchpad or both frequently work. Only the 'Fn' keys are operationnals.
  I can't use the other. 'CAPS LOCK', alpha keys, etc. are not active. Laptop is not usable.
  I have to restart the laptop in a loop while alpha keybord is not usable. The drivers are updated.

  I think it's a problem with Windows.
  When the laptop starts up, I can choose a support starting with the arrow keys and then see "CAPS LOCK" key is OK (led switch works).
  Everything looks ok. After choice hard disk media and startup XP, keyboard is released.
  No BIOS problem.

  I reinstalled Windows XP Pro SP3 with the Toshiba CD.
  At first, I had no problem with the keyboard or the touchpad. I restarted the laptop and everything was beautiful.
  I applied the update to Windows and keyboard/touchpad problems were back.

  Perhaps, there is a driver of conflict with an update of Windows?

  Patrice

  > I applied the update to Windows and keyboard/touchpad problems were back.
  If I understand your message, the touchpad and keyboard problems started after running the first MS Windows XP updates.
  But after the Win XP installation (without the MS updates) everything has worked perfectly you have no problem with the laptop too using the operating system from the recovery Toshiba (Vista for example) disk.

  Is this good?

  Hmm that's strange because the keyboard driver is part of the windows and there is no special keyboard drivers that could be updated.
  But there is a touchpad on the European driver Toshiba page; Alps Electric.

  Update the driver of the touchpad and also check if your BIOS is up to date. If the BIOS is not to day then updated it also.

  Check it out!

• Downgrade/Upgrade from XP or Vista - Tecra A10

  I have Tecra A10 with pre-loaded Vista Business. I finished the installation.
  There are two things I'd like to know:

  1. If I downgrade to XP Professional using the product recovery disc that came with the laptop is there Toshiba Utilities and drivers as well or I need to download them manually?

  2. now, I don't have to activate my Vista, but in the case of the downgrade to XP, and most later upgrade possible to Vista again using Recovery DVD I made, I will have to undergo a procedure of activation?

  Thank you

  (1) the drive of Toshiba (with Win XP?) always contains the image files. An image is a package that contains Windows OS, drivers, tools and additional software. After installing the drive recovery it s not necessary to install all the drivers.

  (2) you can activate the Vista and can then create an image.
  This image contains the Vista activated. If a second activation is not required.

  I got hold of a Tecra A10 PTSB0A-002001 so I would install XP SP3 top the order of installing additional drivers from Toshiba is very useful. Thanks Ivan25 for this information.

  Toshiba has also include a Java Runtime Environment 2 package which I intend to replace it with a JSE 7. I would like to know in what order it should be installed?

  In addition, after installing XP SP3 there are still hundreds of Windows updates to apply these updates to Windows must be installed directly after installation of XP SP3 or drivers Toshiba?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  See you soon

  Java Runtime Environment 2 package can be installed after the installation of all the current drivers and substantial tools Java Runtime Environment isn t, if it to install other drivers and tools and so it s not very important when the package would be installed.

  You must install all updates of Win XP after installing Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  During the installation of the update, the laptop must be restarted several times and the whole process could take a while

  However, from my point of few, Win XP isn't the best choice now since Microsoft only provides no support for this system now

• Re: Tecra R950-18F: win 8 Pro starts a new SSD drive

  Hello

  Having a few issues with the victory 8 DVD pro included with my laptop.

  BIOS is set as UEFI + secure boot, win 8 pro dvd starts and I can start recovery, after a while, he asks disc 2 and starts to recover win 8.

  After completion and reboot, it does not start and shows just the toshiba logo.

  Factory hdd with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 is replaced by the bios.

  What could be the problem?

  > Drive HARD factory is replaced with SSD OCZ VERTEX 4 recognized by the Bios.

  You have the same start-up problems 8 win using the original HDD equipped Tecra R950?

  From my point of view, it would be possible that this laptop does not start successfully because of the new SSD.

  I recommend you check the previous HARD disk.
  If the laptop could start correctly, the problem is related to the new SSD drive.

  In some cases, it would be possible that the SSD firmware must be updated.
