• Tecra A10 - how to disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked

  Hello

  I use a Tecra A10 with a 2 Express Port Replicator.
  How can I disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked and still use it when undocked?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible.
  Following this logic, it will be possible to have access to protected files when the laptop is on docking station.

  Either you use fingerprints or not.

• Tecra A10 - 12Z BIOS 1.6 wanted to move to 3, but 'not supported' - W7H32

  There are many problems with this Tecra A10.

  As Windows Xp is disabled, I tried Windows 7, which is too awkward, so I wanted to try the eSATA operating systems. Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB.

  Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  The A10 has a Windows Vista professional sticker slot, is the only OS where this Tecra can get BIOS updated?

  We have no records of Windows Vista.

  Installation of Windows 2000 or XP, it's really a lot of time, even for 9 x.

  The last beta demoCD with eComStation, todays OS/2Warp, works fine on the Tecra, it has Windows integrated 3.11, is that not? Windows 3.11 on a SD card installation must be as fast and as possible. If there are drivers available?

  ReactOS (freeWindowsXP) is usually able to boot, but it is still in the alpha stage!

  As for flat BACK? There are the LiveCD with BACK.

  You can also find Vista LiveCD socalled VistaPE CDs on the net, but their origin is unknown.

  What is the best option? Is there only one option?

  Hello

  > Although I could install Lubuntu on eSATA it would not start (no hard drive inside most) to eSATA, but booted from USB
  I guess that the BIOS does not support booting eSATA port but just the USB port.
  But it's just an idea... that should be checked once more in the BIOS settings.
  Maybe a BIOS update would also help.

  > Read in the forum and put the Windows 7 Home 32 disk inside again and downloaded the BIOS update only to get a response "not supported".

  BIOS update may be run from under Windows system only. But the BIOS update also requires some software additional Toshiba which depends on the system.

  In the case of Windows 7 or Vista, the value of added Toshiba package must be installed. In the case of Win XP, you must install the package of common Modules.

  To be honest I don t understand what you want to do
  Tecra A10 is a great unit. I have the successor called Tecra A11. I use Win 7 and its really awesome OS. Much better than the beginning of Win XP

  Hello

  I was wondering I just bought a new Toshiba Tecra A10, I just wondered how the change of the RAM, it comes with 1 GB of Ram I want upgraded to 2 GB or 4 GB.

  The RAM slots are located at the rear of the Machine or below the keyboard?

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Memory module compartment is placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You can remove the screw clean the lid in plastic and then you will be able to remove this cover and access locations of memory.

  AFAIK, you can upgrade the memory for max 8GB (2 x 4 GB), but it's not necessary you can upgrade to 4 GB RAM and it is more than enough

• Re: Tecra A10-19 t on Windows 7 64bits successes?

  Hi all

  I intend to buy a Tecra A10 - 19 t and its docking station (PA3508E). I'll order it with 4 GB of RAM so I'll format it the first day to remove Vista32 to install seven (I don't like Vista) 64 (want all available RAM).
  Someone has a return facility 7_64 beta or RC (same RTM) on this laptop? No problem with drivers (video, BT, Wifi, audio,...)?

  Thanks in advance,

  BELOKAN

  As a general rule, Windows 7 can use the Vista drivers, drivers Win7 beta on the Toshiba site there we.

  So if you can find drivers Vista 64-bit for the A10, there should not be problem.

• Boot Linux on Tecra A10 SD

  Hi, I have a fairly new Tecra A10 running Vista. I would use a SD card (SDHC, ideally) to boot Ubuntu/XUbuntu.

  I can do the Linux work from a USB startup key, but can't seem to work on the SD card. the methods that I used for the USB (taken from the site PenLinux) do not seem to transfer.

  At the start of the machine, I use F12 and try the option to boot disk/SD or USB port, or causes my boot SD card.

  I guess I have to do something with the "SD Boot Utility" to force the card to look like a floppy disk. But I don't have the slightest idea how to do it.

  Any thoughts?

  ; Nigel.

  I am wanting to do exactly the same thing with a nice shiny new Portege R500. I installed 'successfully' Ubuntu 8.10 on my 8 GB SDHC card (it has detected, partitioned correctly etc.). I put the bootstrapper on the map, I thought it would be able to see that, as partition bootable, but it did not work at all.

  I considered if I have to install the bootloader on the physical hard disk, but do not know if it will help (i.e. put something in pointing to/dev/mmcsd hd0 (or whatever it was called).

  Assistance (we two) would be greatly appreciated! I'm sure that it's possible it's I have to be. I also had same experience, that Linux would boot 100% AOK off a USB key, but it would just do nothing on the SD card.

  Thanks in advance.

• Tecra A10 - "no data connection '.

  I have a Tecra A10 - 1HP under XP Pro SP3 with all latest drivers. I have the 3 g drivers, Wireless Manager and the power plant installed and it works well. After a few hours of non-use, the grey globe down my clock has a question mark orange appear with 'No data available Connection' appears in the Wireless Manager when it is open. Drivers, etc. are later. The only way to retrieve a connection is to restart. Reinstalling the drivers / Manager does not clear this error.

  I tried Vista and Win7 and still have the same question. After a few hours of inactivity... available data connection. My 3g provider is BT Mobile Business and creating connection works fine.

  Why he died after a few hours of inactivity? Any help is appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you tried disabling the power saving for the 3G and WiFi?
  If this is not the case, this!

  You can change the settings in Win 7 Power Management.

  You can try to disable the option in Device Manager-> Wlan card-> properties for energy savings

  Last tab called Power Management contains this setting.

  Good luck

• 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

• Re: Request for help with Tecra A10-156 (Vista backup media)

  Dear members of the Forum

  I am the owner of a laptop Toshiba Tecra A10-156. As the owners of this model will be aware, the machine is supplied with Windows Vista pre-installed. Also supplied is a recovery of Windows XP Professional disc, which, once loaded on the machine, remove everything on the hard drive, including the operating system Vista and the Vista hard disk recovery partition.

  The documentation that comes with the laptop warns the user if he wants to take the Windows XP program on the computer, it must burn a DVD of backup software vista before you load the XP image because if it loads Windows XP without doing that then he loses everything to do with VISTA on the machine.
  Unfortunately, when I bought my machine, I did exactly this error and load Windows XP without backup Vista Software. Load the XP dvd, hard drive was completely wiped out, including not only the Windows Vista installation, but also the recovery partition.

  Although windows XP is a good operating system, I would like the ability to restore my machine to the factory setting. When I asked what to do with Toshiba, they said that the only way they could help would be to sell me a backup DVD of Vista recovery which would cost me a little money. (more than thirty books).
  They also mentioned that if I could find another owner of A10 - 156 using vista would be ready, they could burn a DVD using their recovery from vista machine and then I would be able to use this DVD to do the job.

  As I know personally of all other owners Tecra A10, I am writing to make a plea to ask if some A10-156 (it takes as the exact model) owner would please that nature to let me have a copy of VISTA backup medium please. Of course, I'd be more than willing to pay a total amount of the Virgin DVD (s) and shipping costs.
  If someone is willing or able to help should I very grateful indeed and hope to hear from a fellow A10-156 owner as soon as possible.

  Yours sincerely
  Ian in the United Kingdom

  I hope someone here can help and maybe you should put your e-mail address for direct contact.

• Express Port Replicator II and Tecra A10 - 12Z - only the power and LAN

  Since my Toshiba T3600CT I received with docking station, I discovered that I have a docking station. In the meantime, I had a small Sony who had no docking station, for which I got one of the first USB docking station and since then I've seen always to get laptops with docking station.

  But this time something went really wrong, the Toshiba Express Port Replicator II PA3680E-2PRP provides only power and LAN. There is no power in the USB ports, so no serial port or the sound, and DVI and VGA are also disabled.

  All these ports work fine on the Tecra A10, but not on the docking station.

  Of course, it is nice to have the power and LAN, but not when I expected too much of everything.
  So I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, it is like upgrading the BIOS for me who have not installed all the necessary software, or is it a fuse or something I could fix myself or is it a faulty docking that shouldn't have left the factory?

  Hello

  What's your Tecra pre-installed with original recovery image?

  When the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image simply connect compatible laptop Toshiba docking station and all the devices connected to the docking station will be recognized correctly and all available ports should work fine.
  Is that a Port Replicator basically "replica" ports on the laptop.

  On this virtual path, we cannot say that this port is 100% OK. What can you say about it? you bought is used a?

• 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.
  -Thomas

  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 - 14 M - how to fix surface scratches?

  Hey guys,.

  I got a Tecra A10 - 14 M. I got a little careless with the surface of the housing. So my question is, what material is and is at - it a varnish email or other stuff that I could use to correct?

  Kind regards
  007

  Hey Buddy,

  I think the surface is a kind of plastic like on all other laptops but it s I don't know that you can fix this plastic. If she scratches it has no way to remove them on the car. You can Polish the vortices to remove cars and scratches but that s is not possible on the plastic.

  What pieces of plastic that you want to correct?
  It might be an option if you buy new plastic covers to an authorized service provider. Covers are usually not that expensive.

• Re: Tecra A10 - USB problem on the port replicator

  I have a Tecra A10 and sometimes, when I work with her, the devices USB stopped responding if they are connected to the port replicator.
  If I connect them to the laptop, they work fine.

  I tried to update the BIOS but now when I turn on the laptop it freezes when Toshiba red letters are displayed on the screen. I can work with the laptop properly deattached starting from port replicator.

  Have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS after the update?

  If you have external devices connected to the laptop they remove and try again in the duplicator.
  Maybe you should also update your laptop chip set driver. You can find them on the Toshiba site.
