• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Not able to install the common module on satellite Pro A120

  Hi guys:
  I recently reinstalled xp professional on my satellite pro A120. I could download and install the main drivers of http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com and my phone is functional. However, I did not all sounds and (F6 & F7 and toggle) function keys not working, even after insalling the sound card. I read some of the posts on this forum and found that I needed insall the 'common' module to make them functional. I downloaded the driver from module common too, but when I run the Setup it starts initially, but fails both the configuration is complete.

  The same thing happens also with a few other drivers as saver of energy etc... I was not able to run the Setup program for the common module & driver power saver, basically, nothing happens after I have the respective installation.

  Can anyone help please?

  Pravesh

  As far as I know on the download page you can find the installation instructions with exact installation document order how to install drivers and tools specific to Toshiba and utilities.
  You have installed all the stuff after this installation order?

• Satellite Pro A120 has network problems

  Mr President.

  I, Jayarajan.C.N, working as an Assistant Executive Engineer in the Kerala State Electricity Board, Kerala, India.
  We had a laptop brand Thoshiba (Satellite Pro A120 type; PTA83L-08L02N model number; SL.no. Y6131B1488H) as part of a package of type brand MD - 2000 Tesient relay.

  We use this laptop for other official purposes also. It works smoothly.

  But we were faced with the following problems:
  1. we could connect the computer laptop in Local Area Networking with other desktop computers and laptop. But we could not transmit or receive data from the other computer.

  2. we could connect us the laptop to the network in ad-hoc mode wireless and the laptop showed the link as 'excellent '. But as in the case of LAN, data may not be transferred or received.

  3. we tried to use dial-up modem to the laptop. But we do not have internet access. The error showed was 'busy line (error 676) '. In fact, the line was not busy.

  4. we checked to access internet using Reliance Netconnect USB modem after installing its software. He also failed in showing the "username & passwords are wrong in this area.

  5. I added an init string in the Toshiba modem commands: AT & FX1. But before that, I made a mistake. I installed the Client Services for Netware. After that, the connection mode was changed. But I don't know how to uninstall "client services for Netware". I selected the account control user - change the way users log on or off, I received the following message: "client for Netware has disabled the display of welcome and quick user agrees." To restore these features, you must uninstall client services for Netware. As I said before, I don't know how to uninstall the same. Now during log on, I have to use ctrl + alt + delete to log on.

  After you have added the string init AT & FX1, I have only seen the modem trying to catch the net until the "veryfying username and password. But he could not catch the net. Please note that I had installed the client services for Netware. I saw that the modem has been "connecting" even after a few minutes and I noticed the system reacted very slowly.

  In short, we cannot achieve any type of networking and by error logging has been changed...
  We ask your advice detailed without delay.
  Thanks in advance.

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot boot from CD/DVD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 of friends, he was running very slow so I said I'd do the usual for him.
  Back up all his documents, and then reinstall windows. not so easy!

  First of all, try to boot from the CD so I can boot into Ubuntu or reinstall windows.
  Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.

  From time to time I get an error saying + "Media test failure - check cable" + or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject.
  I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Able to boot Ubuntu from a USB key.
  Try to copy its documents on my external drive but really copying REALLY slow (like 1 MB/s) and kept getting IO errors on some files.
  I can't run diagnostic software for HARD drive that I can not boot from the CD (could get the Ultimate Boot CD on a USB but if anyone thinks it would help?).

  In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR).
  This means a failing drive?
  What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the portable CD player with a CD of work of another computer and windows recognize today this new CD player at all!

  By putting a bootable CD in this new CD player, it always starts from the HARD drive (do not recognize CD player in all).
  The BIOS is a bit unnecessary and does not show the detected disks...

  Also, boot Ubuntu from a USB key, with the original CD player, he reads real CD and DVD copied of all zeros are considered blank discs and replace the CD drive with a known working in Ubuntu means its not recognized at all (if this isn't windows driver problems).

  When I started messing around with it I remember windows say the time had been reset, so I set the time properly, then he did the same thing again I think. A flat CMOS battery could not be responsible for this?

  Is the motherboard and specifically the IDE controller or a broken ports, or am I doing something stupid? I'm tempted to just install Ubuntu by USB and tell him not to bother with CD more ;^)

  Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated!

  Thank you
  Dan Gent

  > Me has taken long enough to work, I had to press DEL/ESC to enter in the BIOS, but once I put to boot from the CD (and was a bootable CD in the drive), it kept just boot from the HARD drive.
  You see the CD/DVD drive in BIOS? I mean all the details like the name WEIRD etc.
  If this isn't the case, then it means that your CD/DVD drive is not recognized by the BIOS due to a hardware problem.

  If you can see the STRANGE in the BIOS but are still not able to boot from any disk, then I suppose that the CD/DVD drive cannot read the disk for different reasons.
  One of the reasons could be a defective or damage the laser lens

  > Every so often, I would get an error saying "Media test failure - check cable" or something similar, theres a lot on internet on this subject. I think its something to do if the boot order has CD first, then it has LAN as 2nd.

  Yes, this error means that your laptop tried to boot from LAN

  > In windows, the CD player only reads real CD (audio similar DVD, not CDR and DVDR). This means a failing drive?

  As I said above, it would be possible that the reader s laser lens malfunctions and, therefore, the ODD can't handle the media. It seems that the laser lens can not calibrate properly and can not move in the correct position. This question is not repairable and the drive needs to be replaced.

  > What intrigues me most, however, is that I changed the CD drive with a CD of work of another laptop and windows don't recognize this new CD player at all!

  The fact is that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different master/slave/C-salt settings. You must use the supported players! In most cases, you can find a list in your user manual what CD/DVD readers are compatible.

• Satellite Pro A120 - error function keys not working and affected

  I have a Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04Q00VEN.

  A couple of weeks, I started to have a dialog "Error of TouchED" to come to the start box (containing the message: 'Thotkey' recovery has no code error 0 X 00031402, 0x00000002) and at the same time the function keys did not work.

  I spent several hours as a result of the wide variety of questions that have been posted on this forum and elsewhere regarding this problem with computers laptop Toshiba, but nothing has worked. I reinstalled all the drivers from my initial backup disk, installed new drivers on the Toshiba site, updated the bios and restored the system to date before the problem started to occur. I also can't find Thotkey.exe everywhere on my machine.

  Can anyone help with this? It seems to be a common problem, for which he doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. Any useful response would be really appreciated.

• Often, a WiFi on Satellite Pro A120 falls

  Hi all!

  Hope someone can help me here.
  First: sorry for my English!

  I am owner of the Satellite Pro A120. I only use the connection with what is provided by the defined Intel 3945 ABG wireless.
  The machine runs on XP SP2.

  When you are working on the laptop, aswell as on the card battery, every now and then the grave wireless conectivity. Immediately he reconnects. But it is especially embarrassing when I'm on the corporate network, so I work. I immediately make me driven.

  To check if the wireless modem I use, I asked my girlfriend (who is also wireless connected with another laptop) If here connection fails as well whne mine. This is never the case. So, I thought: there must be something with the Toshiba.

  Everyone recognizes this problem and has a solution?

  I already did these things:

  Check the powersaving options are set to off ";
  Updated the driver;

  These actions have not solved the problem

  thnx in advance!

• Prerequisites for the replacement of Windows XP for Satellite Pro A120-107

  I don't know that it will have been asked before, however...

  I received a Satellite Pro A120-107 XP. Because XP is not supported, I would like to upgrade to Windows 7, 8 or 8.1. Who should I go for?

  I think I need to improve my memory (currently 512 MB) at least 1 GB. Or should I go to 2 GB. Which would be better?

  And I need a BIOS upgrade? He is currently using vn 1.50 08/24/2006. If I do, what version?

  In your case, I'll try to install Win 7 on this good old classic.

  8.1 Win is the latest system from Microsoft but I'm afraid, you will have some problems with drivers m.

  Win 7 would be the best choice in this case

• Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

  Hello
  I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
  Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

• Satellite Pro A120: Need to update the BIOS after upgrade CPU

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 and I need to update the bios of a change in cpu cause.
  The laptop works very well, but for some reason any with the new processor fan runs always full.

  A lot, I searched but found nothing.
  The model number is PSAC1E-0QL04CG3 of ideas where I can find the bios?

  THX in advance,
  John

  Hello

  First of all: update BIOS doesn t help you.
  Why do you think that BIOS update should help reduce the activity of fan?

  I guess that your new processor is faster. Right?
  So it offers more performance and this leads to higher heat dissipation... so finally the CPU must be cooled and this can be done only if the cooling module would turn faster you agree with me?

  By the way: the update of the BIOS is on the page of the Toshiba UE driver. Since the satellite Pro A120 is very old series, you will need to search for drivers in area Archive (Type of product-> Archive)

• Re: Satellite Pro A120 is no sound

  My father made me a laptop TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-0QJ052EN the other day off a friend.

  He used to have Windows XP, but a friend of my father installed Windows 7. When I try to play music or watch videos audio meter at the bottom right shows action but not his fate.
  I tried to download the new drivers and I googled the problem, but I can't get the audio to work.

  I'd appreciate any help I need sound for a school project.

  When you open reading devices in sound properties option speakers are set by default?
  You can hear sound if you are using the headset or headphones?

• Satellite Pro A120 - battery not found

  Hello

  Technical details: I have a Satellite Pro A120, purchased about four years, running MS Vista. A year ago I noticed my battery has been virtually exhausted and bought a new battery (this one, to be exact: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028NJAL2]). Since last year it worked very well and I have no reason to suspect that the battery itself might have a problem. Most of the time, I have the laptop plugged in, in any case.

  However, recently (last few weeks, I think) I started to have occasional problems when all of a sudden I am notified that the battery can not be found - or rather, there is no actual notification, but the power icon in the changes of system tray with a small red on it X, and then the computer hangs. The touchpad still works and I can move the pointer on the screen, but absolutely nothing else says and there is no way out next to a hard reboot. Sometimes, if I catch the icon change from time to time and unplug the power cord (force the computer running on battery), it actually corrects issues. Not always, though.

  Attempts to seek similar problem descriptions online were not very useful; most of the time, the description does not exactly fit my situation or the Seraph blames the battery or the operating system (which, in my case, to be as the wrong answers, since I said the battery generally works well, and I had the same OS from the start). Also a search of these forums did not have no useful result. I'll call my go - to computer store and see if their engineers have all the answers or if it's just the time to take the old horse pasture and find a new filly, but thought that perhaps the good people on this forum may be able to offer advice (additional).

  Thanks in advance,
  Yael

  I think that no one will be able to tell what's wrong exactly; I think it is s battery issue but of course, no one can say it it s battery maybe motherboard or just a software problem. OPERATING SYSTEM.

  Usually, the software should not affect the functionality of the battery and I think that it s more material associated.
  The laptop is a little old and the battery seems to be old too so I think that the battery needs to be checked first

• Satellite Pro A120 - cannot install recovery disc

  Hi - I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E-04H00VEN model number

  It was less his hard drive and I posted previously to try a 160 GB drive without success. I thought that the drive may be defective, so I have now acquired a 120 GB drive. It is not new, but assured me that it works. However, it does not work in this laptop! As before (with the disk 160), when I try to install it using the Toshiba restore disc, the operation just sticks on the "Please wait..." message. "for 30 minutes then the machine shuts down. Assuming that the hard drive is ok there at - it something more, that I can do to determine the problem with this laptop?

  FYI, this is what happens after installing the hard drive:
  I turn it on and get this message: NTLDR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart.
  I insert the product recovery disc, put off and then again when you press F12.
  I get a soft Purring over the Toshiba logo. I select the CD/DVD symbol and get a short message saying: the installer inspects the hardware configuration of your computer.
  I then get RAMDISK image loading... which takes less than 2 minutes.
  I then get a short message saying: from Windows Preinstallation Environment. Press F6 if you need to install a third-party RAID or SCSI driver...
  I then get it please wait... and after 10 seconds, the fan goes into overdrive! This Carry on during 30 minutes with him please wait... message, then the laptop turns off automatically.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Thank you.

  Hi Lapitup,

  Before you buy another HARD drive, you need to test a different installation disk you have already tried the two hard disks with the same problem so I think that the problem is not HARD drive itself

  If you have a normal installation disc of Windows, you can install Windows on this drive. So you can check if the recovery disk works properly or not. Theoretically, the disc could be wiped off so that the files cannot be read properly.

  In the worst cases, some of the material is affected. Then, you need professional help of an authorized service provider.
