• 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 - 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.

• Portege 3480CT: cannot use the 16-bit PCMCIA card

  Hello

  I had a problem with a PCMCIA card (new media wave jammer, 16-bit) on a 3480 with Win98 & XP.
  The card appears as an unknown device in the "remove hardware" - tool.

  In Device Manager it does not at all appear and Windows did not ask for the driver.

  It looks like a card damaged, but still, this card works fine in another laptop!
  The problem could be related to different areas of memory used by the Cardservice.

  The Cardservice of the 3480 ct seems not be configurable.

  What can I do?
  Thank you

  Hello

  The PCMCIA card doesn't need a driver!
  To my knowledge, you must check the settings in the BIOS!

  On the second page of the BIOS, you should try to change the configuration of device for all devices and in the section of PC card, you must set the controller to Cardbus/16-bit mode

  then save the BIOS settings.

• 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?

• Re: Tecra A10 - 12O - how to buy the 64-bit version of Vista?

  Hello!

  I bought Tecra A10 - 12O with 4 GB of ram.
  My Tecra shipped only with Windows Vista Business 32-bit so I can use only 3, 2 GB of memory.
  I got to know that Microsoft allows me to use the 64 bit instead of 32 bit version - legally.
  I have to buy 64 bit media much chipper as the new Vista box.

  Here is the link to the Polish Microsoft page where I could order 64-bit media [http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1045/ordermedia/pl-pl/default.mspx], of course, if this page would accept my product key.

  Microsoft says I can get 64 bit Toshiba media.
  I can't find Toshiba Web information pages on how to get the media. Polish Toshibas service says that it is not possible.

  Does anyone know how to buy that media?

  concerning
  Tomek

  Hello

  If you want to use the Vista 64 bit OS, then you will need to buy a full license Vista 64-bit.
  The 32-bit Vista preinstalled on your laptop is only the OEM licenses and the serial key belongs to this operating system preinstalled.

  See you soon

• Re: Tecra A10 - can I install Windows 7 64 bit?

  Hello Toshiba & Forum

  I want to buy a Tecra A10 1GV, but always delveres Toshiba laptop with a 32-bit Windows 7 Prof
  In my eyes that seems to be a Ferrary with a steam engine.

  The version of recovery sometimes offer 32 and 64 bit Installation.
  Does anyone know, if this would be possible with the Tecra A10?

  Is something wrong with a Tecra and a 64 Bit - system?

  Hi Michael,

  In my opinion the Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit) has nothing to do with the hardware of the laptop. If you use 3 GB of RAM or less in my opinion 32-bit is sufficient because it s not slower or faster for 64-bit. It is just necessary to use 4 GB of RAM.

  But as Al - eX has already written that you can download all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Check this box!

• 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

  At first, I must say that Toshiba recovery image created separately for each laptop model and it is 100% created to work on the specific model. Why?
  Each laptop model has different hardware platform and all the drivers, tools and utilities for some models are part of the recovery image. These recovery images are also tested.

  Generally if the two models have the same hardware platform (hardware) it can be used.
