Hello

I put t know what you mean with UPS but you made if you use an original Toshiba AC adapter never damage the card mother or other components. But it is also important that the power adapter is compatible with the voltage in the country where you use it.

Anyway, new spare parts, you can get to an authorized service provider. So just contact the guy and ask for help! :)

    Hello!

    Have you tried with the disk recovery Toshiba or a disk of Microsoft?
    If you want to reinstall Vista with Microsoft disc, you need SATA drivers.

    I m do not know what is the problem, but in your case, I would like to format the HARD drive. You can do this with the Microsoft disk or with special tools like the Drive Fitness Test (http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT).

    Delete all partitions and then do a low level format. Then try again to install Windows.

    Give me a reason why this has happened.

  • C6180: To avoid damage, use the power button / shutdown - message does not disappear and the printer is looping

    I have problems with my printer since arriving to a new home. I stop the printer before removing the cable, but seems could have pulled the power cable earlier than closing down.

    Since that time, the printer is looping with message "to avoid damage to use the off button /...» "- How do I stop and work again.

    Please help!

    Thank you.

    Heck!

    I was really hoping that would not be the issue.

    So, if I understand it, the question you receive looks like this;

    "It lights up and shows the HP logo and process bar animation for one minute, followed by the message:"abnormal termination. "  To avoid damage use on the button to turn off the printer.  Do not use a wall or the band switch to close.  Press OK.  Then he stops and leaves upward. »

     

    Try this:

    1. If the printer is still on, unplug all rigid and flexible cables at the back of the printer.

    2 unplug the power cord also from the wall...

    3. wait for two minutes.

    4 reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet first.

    5. hold the pound (#) and six 6 buttons.

    6. all by pressing the two buttons, reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer and at the end of two seconds, exit book and six buttons.

    7. turn on the printer if it goes out...

    Third times the charm, right? * fingers crossed *

  • Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

    When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

    I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

    Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

    Hello

    the following things could probably help you with your problem:

    -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
    -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
    -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

    If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite A100-233: can I use the WiFi for the Peer to Peer network?

    Hello

    I don't know if I understand your question, but you want to connect two laptops via the WLan. Am I wrong?
    Well, this type of network connection is called Ad hoc.

    Choose Start-> settings-> network connections, and then click the local network connection you want to share. On the left side of the screen under the management of the network, click on "change settings of this connection. Under the Advanced tab, under Internet connection sharing, check the box "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's Internet connection".
    There is also a check box to allow other users to enable or disable the Internet connection, if you are so inclined. If your network doesn? t need to access to the Internet, you can skip this paragraph.

    The host system must also be configured with an Ad Hoc network connection and a Set Service identify (SSID). Right-click on the wireless icon in the system tray and choose "view wireless networks". Do NOT yet connect to any wireless network that could appear in the box. Click the Advanced button. This will bring up the Properties window of wireless with the wireless networks tab at the front. Click the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of this tab, select the option "networks from computer to computer (ad hoc) only". Make sure that the box "Auto connects to the non preferred networks" is NOT checked. Click the close (once) button to return to the wireless network tab.
    Under preferred network, click Add. You now need a SSID for this machine, which is actually the name it will use to announce themselves to the other members of the ad hoc wireless network.

  • Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394?

    Is it useful to upgrade the memory on the Satellite M70 - 394? Where the best place to buy it and what I should go for? How will this affect my laptop? It will void the warranty at all?

    Sorry for so many questions

    Hello

    First of all it s worth it to upgrade the memory for portable computers. The increases in performance and the operating system should work better and faster.
    Well, I checked a few websites, and it seems that it is possible to upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 2048 MB (2x1024Mo)

    As far as I know the laptop came with a 512 MB module. In this case, the second Bank is empty. The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit. If you want to upgrade the memory to remove the slot cover down and carefully insert the module. I think you'll find instruction how to handle the upgrade memory in the user manual.

    In addition, you can order the compatible modules form the Toshiba service partner. In this case, you will be sure that you have taken in charge to 100% and compatible modules.

  • How to use the recovery on the Satellite A100-192 with 2 partitions CD

    I have a satellite a100-192 with 100 GB hard drive.
    When I bought it I used magic norton 8.0 partion to divide the disk into two partitions, c drive (used for files of program and other things; 20 GB) and d ' drive that I use for all my documents, music, videos and similar stuff...

    and now, because of a few bad shots, I made (the software bad... lol) I want to reinstall windows. and honestly, I have no idea how to proceed. what I mean, I don't know what cd to use (I have two CD when I bought the computer), in fact I guess that's the one with ms a note on it, but how to do it safely without losing all my data on the d drive?

    The problem is that I did a lot of relocations on desktop computers when you hava clean facilities and then I know what I'm doing, but I have no experience with bundled windows installations.

    Hello

    Usually, Toshiba laptops are supplied with a Toshiba restore CD.
    On this CD, you will find the image of Toshiba which contains all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

    The question is what CD image you received.
    Some people here in the forum suggested that, since January 2006 the Toshiba Recovery CD supports another recovery procedure. The new recovery CD does not support the ghost but the surface RECO and it s not possible to choose the partition for the installation of the OS.
    In this case the whole HARD disk will be deleted and you will lose all your partitions.

    I have only one old recovery CD and so I can't say if it is possible to choose the right partition. It was possible on the old recovery cd by selecting the expert mode.

    In my view, that should make a backup of you all important files before you begin the recovery procedure.

  • Satellite A100-906: Express player media use the reinstallation of the operating system

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Satellite A100-906. I did NOT know about what express Media Player recovery cd's and I've never used it. But now I want to know what's the point of use.

    In any case I had to format my laptop and I have used the recovery cd. So now I've read that if I want to run the express media player I must first of all, insert the express media player cd stop button of my laptop and then use cd/dvd to start it.

    The problem is that I find in win xp with a Windows Media Player. Something go wrong with the format (using the recovery cd)? I had to first install the express media player? and then format and reinstall xp?

    If that's the problem, I, at this stage, to be able to install express media player without losing my data? I expect an answer. I hope you'll forgive my ignorance :).

    Best regards
    Harris

    P.S. when I boot from the media player recovery cd express I get three options 1) crash installation 2) uninstall 3) delete all partitions. So did I express media player installed?

    Hello

    So you're a bit confused. Am I wrong?
    If you want to start the Express media player you n t need to insert the CD of express media player!
    Express media player must be installed on the HARD drive!

    You have recovered the laptop with your recovery CD Toshiba but didn't install the Express media player since the EMP CD!
    This is false.

    Usually the Media Express Recovery CD drive must be run before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.
    Cannot install the Express media player after using the Toshiba Recovery CD!

    So first to run the CD of Express media player and then run the restore CD!

    If you wish, you can consult this useful document of Toshiba providing education
