BSOD on my Satellite Pro A210

My A120 crashes when it boots up. It goes to the "Windows XP" Boot Screen, blue screen errors for around 2 seconds and then restarts itself. I can't re-install it as my CD-ROM Drive doesn't work
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Tom Collins

Hello tom
To be honest I am wondering that CD/DVD drive does not work and you do not want to repair it or let service to exchange the drive if there is some technical problem. Sorry but I think you should do this.
So about BSOD is not easy to say much because we do not know why this happen and what you have done last days with your notebook. Try to start your notebook in safe mode using F8 button at start up. If this works please let us know.

Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

Hi
> There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
Sorry mate but you are wrong.
All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
I recommend updating the graphic card driver
Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
Check if you are using the latest version

Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

Hi All
My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Hi
From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
You can try this workaround:
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the unit and test it again
I think this should help!

Satellite Pro A210 OS problems

Early Nov 2014 my Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X started experiencing major malfunctions.
1. CD/DVD drive stopped working and disappeared from the “Computer” menu.
2. I checked the Bios and it showed there is “no CD/DVD”. After that, my cmptr froze up, the keyboard would not work, no mouse would work.
3. I took it to be serviced. They got it running but apparently installed a copy of W XP from Dell because there are 2 folders; DELL; DECCHECK, existing on the C Drive. I purchased and installed an internal CD/DVD drive of the same style and manufacture year as my existing one. It is not recognized by the cmptr either.
4. To date the Bios still does not show a CD/DVD drive. Currently the cmptr will boot from a USB portable DVD disk, however. The cmptr does recognize the portable USB DVD drive I purchased after I got it back from the repair shop.
5. Previously I had purchased a retail version of W 7 Pro. This included 32 and 64 bit disks. My goal was to install the 64 bit version on my Satellite Pro A210 which I believe is possible. However, every time I tried to start the installation a message appeared telling me that “This version of Windows is not compatible with the 32 bit system. Please insert the proper disc.” Or something similar. The cmptr will not allow me to install the 64 bit version.
6. After several attempts to install the 32 bit W 7 version I got it to install. I could not format the hard disk(as far as I know) but could only “custom install” the 32 bit W 7 version. Even after installing W 7 the Dell folders remain (presume because they are system folders).
7. Can I install a W 7, 64 bit version on my A210? Do I need to install drivers from Toshiba first (what drivers)? Do I need to reformat the hard disk? How?
8. HELP!!

Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X (PSAFHU-011002)
Downloads are here.
The following ODDs will work.
V000100710 - V000100850 - V000102290 - V000101190 - V000100700 - V000102040 - V000101200
If your part number is not one of those, google for prices.
Don't mess with 64-bit Windows! If it would install, it would even run slower.
You should remove and recreate/format the partition during installation.
You will need essentially all of the drivers and utilities at the download site above to make that laptop operate as designed. The order of installation matters. Be sure to install the AMD display driver prior to any other driver. It puts the chipset software in place. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utility.

Satellite Pro A210 - Doesn't go into standby

I have a Satellite Pro A210 with Windows XP installed.
For the past serveral months i have had the issue where I cannot change the power scheme options. Any changes I made would just go back to default after a certain amount of time. When I recently tried to fix it I noticed people saying to install Toshiba Common Module and Toshiba Power Saver. I have installed both but now my system wont go into stand by mode (when closing the lid on my computer as well as going to start-shutdown-stand by)
The settings seem to be setup correctly in the power save application and i am using the Toshiba Power Saver power scheme. I tried to unistnall Power saver and it still does not allow me to go into stand by. I cannot install Common Module because it does not show up in add/remove programs.
Any Ideas? I am getting tired of having to shut down the pc every time I have to transport it. :)
Stephen

Hi
Listen buddy. The Common Modules will not appear in add remove programs.
You can install it executing the exe file.
But in my opinion its nothing wrong with power saver or common modules.
In my opinion your Windows OS is muddled up some and somewhere registry keys and other files are corrupt and therefore the power saver does not function as it should.
I assume everything worked properly some days ago. Right?
Maybe an update or an installation of some applications muddled up the OS who knows
You can try to clean the registry and OS using CCleaner. Its free tool.
If this doesnt help then I dont see many solution proposals as to reinstall the OS

Satellite Pro A210 - How to recover it with misplaced recovery disk`?

I have been having some problems with my Satellitte Pro A210, (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Vista, 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM), and it seems that I have made recovery discs when new and have misplaced them.
What can I do?

What you can do? Good question.
If you don't have original Toshiba installations disc you have two options either order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or use Microsoft installations disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support and download page.
By the way: if you got notebook with recovery image saved on HDD you can try to install OS using F8 and Repair my computer option. More about that you can read under

Satellite Pro A210 Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

Hello
Can anyone suggest why I am having problems upgrading from 32bit vista to windows 7 - 32 vista?
I'm not sure if it is because there isn't enough RAM
Has anyone else had a similiar problem on this laptop?
Thanks
CLary

Toshiba have a guide to upgrading at [http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/bulletin.jsp?ct=SB&soid=2450599&ref=EV]. I'd go through their suggested method and then come back if you still have problems

BIOS update has killed my Satellite Pro A210-1AZ

Hi
Today Tempro gave me an alert that there was a new BIOS update (bios-20100215113621). I duly installed in in the usual way. During the restart the machine came up with a BAD CHECKSUM message.
Whilst I was reading the message the machine gave a high pitched sqeak and promptly died. It will not restart or respond.
Can Toshiba please explain why they are distributing killer updates and propose how to bring my machine back to life.
We have two indentical machines so will leave my wife's running on the old bios.
Any one got any good ideas?

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your suggestions and aplogies for my tardy reply. I think I've nailed the problem and am getting round it. I kept on trying to get the machine going and eventually it got as far as a windows screen sayig there was a windows problem. Windows sorted that out after a lot of grinding away and a restore. It was about then that I realised that MS were putting out a number of biggish updates. My wife's indentical laptop started its own MS update which involved a restart and a lengthy configuration routine. I think what happened was that unkown to me I was flashing my BIOS when MS Vista was updating itself too.
I now have a machnie that works. BUT! If I go into the BIOS after about 5 seconds I get a total machine shut down.
My plan is never to flash a BIOS again and cannot go into the BIOS.
Wifes PC seems to work perfectly OK on old BIOS, slow as ever but relaible.
Cheers
Fred

Satellite Pro L300: BSOD after BIOS update

Hi
after update the Bios of Satellite Pro L300, the windows not start!
Its show the blue dead screen!
What can i do?

Hi
Are you able to access the BIOS settings?
Im not quite sure why this BSOD appears but possibly the SATA mode settings have been changed after BIOS update
Usually the SATA mode should be set to AHCI if the SATA drivers are installed.
But if the SATA drivers are not included the SATA mode should be set to compatible.
Please check this!
Furthermore you could set the BIOS to the default settings and could try to boot the machine again.

BSODs on Satellite Pro L300

Hi everyone,
I've been using my *Satellite Pro L300 28W* for 2 years now, and since the last summer it's no fun any more.
The notebook is suffering *BSoDs* one after one, making working impossible. According to BlueScreenView, it's mostly halmacpi.dll that's responsible, and the bug code is *0x124*, which is for hardware as far as I know.
I tried everything described on various forums, including virus and rootkit search, updating all drivers and BIOS, checked core temp with SpeedFan - everything seems to be OK, but still the BSoDs reappear. I have nothing overclocked, run Windows 7 32 bit with all the latest updates.
There are no BSoDs when booting in secure mode. If anyone has some ideas about this issue, I'll be happy to see them!

>By the way, what's that original toshiba recovery image you're speaking about?
The Toshiba image is the package which was preinstalled at the first day of purchase the image contains the Windows OS, Toshiba drivers, tools and 3rd party software like Win DVD, etc
The usage of the Toshiba Recovery disk (which you could create using Toshiba Recover disk creator software) would format the HDD and would set the notebook back to factory settings this means that you should backup you own data and files before running this process.
By the way: the BSOD seems to be triggered by halmacpi.dll. The halmacpi.dll is related to the usage of the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) Library with Operating Systems and its part of the Windows OS and its hardware related (Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL).
This means that hardware problem might cause the BSOD
However, try recover disk and check if default settings would help you.

Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7: Blue Screen error - ati2dvag infitive loop

I've got Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7 with ATI HD2600 Mobility Radeon. I've downgraded to XP SP2. I get blue screen saying that ati2dvag went infitive loop quite constantly. Any solution to this?
Offtopic: Why standart display drivers from ati.com does not work? (while on my friends laptop with also hd2600 mobilty radeon works fine).

Hi
> I've got Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7 with ATI HD2600 Mobility Radeon. I've downgraded to XP SP2. I get blue screen saying that ati2dvag went infitive loop quite constantly. Any solution to this?
Usually the BSOD appears due to the serious software issue or hardware malfunction.
In my opinion its a software (driver) issue.
I presume the BSOD appears why playing some games in most cases the graphic driver must be updated.
If the XP driver from the Toshiba page will not help you could try the graphic drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net site. The 3rd party drivers should run on your notebook. But note; 3rd party drivers can be used only at your own risk!
> Why standard display drivers from ati.com do not work? (While on my friends laptop with also hd2600 mobility radeon works fine).
The original ATI drivers cannot be installed on a easy way because such drivers dont support an overheating protection. The Toshiba GPU drivers are a little bit modified and support an overheating protection. Such protection is necessary and important because the notebook graphic cards are not equipped with huge cooling module like the GPUs on for the desktop PCs.
The temperature increases on the notebooks much faster and therefore the graphic driver have to control the GPU performance to decrease the internal temperature.
Therefore its always advisable and recommended to use the Toshiba drivers ;)

Satellite Pro M70 - What is the Bluetooth module part number

Could someone who has a Toshiba Satellite Pro M70, with bluetooth, tell me the part number of the bluetooth module please?
You can reed it from one of the labels under your notebook. You can read bluetooth in it, the part number is in the up left side of the label, and it will be something like this: PA3418U-BTM.
Thanks.

Hi
Why you dont make a call to the authorized service partner in your country and would order an compatible BT module for your notebook?
In my opinion this would be the easiest way to get one.
Unfortunately Im not owner of Sat Pro M70 and therefore I dont know the BT part number. But my A210 has been equipped with an internal BT module and the part number is PA3608U-1BTM

Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE re-booting when plugged in

I have had this laptop put away for a while as I couldn't work through this problem, but I'm having another try.
The laptop is a Satellite Pro A300 PSAGDE.
The problem I am haiving is that the laptop would re-boot whenever I connect the PSU, but not when using a live CD (Ubuntu).
I would like to try and flash a replacement BIOS to see if that will solve the problem.
Unfortunately the software needed to flash the BIOS requires the laptop to be plugged in.
Is there any way around this problem?
Can I fool the software into thinking it is plugged in?
Is there a way I can revert/repair the BIOS in any other way as obviously the problem hasn't always been there.
Thanks

So once again: notebook runs fine using battery power but reboot always (in the loop????) when AC adaptor is connected. But using Live CD the notebook runs ok even if the AC adaptor is connected.
Right???
>> I think it may be a BIOS issue because the laptop will run without an issue when booting a live cd, even when it is plugged in.
If the unit runs ok using Live CD, then this means that this cannot be BIOS issue because BIOS does not depend on installed system.
Therefore in my opinion its definitely not a BIOS problem.
I think you should firstly disable the automatic reboot when an system crashes Win 7 is configured to restart immediately when a BSOD happens and this happens too fast to see the error I think you mean this by automatic reboot
Disable this by following way:
1)Control Panel -> System & Security -> System -> click the Advanced system settings
2)Locate the Startup and Recovery section near the bottom of the window and click Settings button.
3)In the Startup and Recovery window, uncheck the check box next to Automatically restart.
4)Now click OK and restart the unit
In my opinion the system crashed and therefore the notebook reboots

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)
sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1a

Hi
Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.
