How to disable Standby/Hibernation on Satellite Pro U series

Hi,
I have on my Satellite Pro U series Windows Vista Professional installed.
During the defragmentationprocess my machine goes automatically into standby.
Does anyone know how to disable standby temporarely, so the defragmentation process can finish properly.
Edited by: Admin on 01-Dec-2007 08:13

Hi there,
to disable the Standby/Hibernation on your system you must simply go into "Control Panel" and open the "powersaver" to edit the powersaver settings.
The Powersaver contains profiles where all powersaving related settings are defined. So you can edit such profile and disable the standby/hibernation to perform your defragmentation.
Would be useful if you post which system you have..
Greetings

How to disable BIOS password on Satellite Pro A120?

Is it possible to disable BIOS password on Pro A120 laptop?
I know the password, but I can't delete it. I tried both through Password Utility on Windows and through BIOS, and in both I can change the password, but not disable it (i get DELETION DENIED message).
Thanks in advance.

Hi there Majkel and all others,
This forum gui is difficult to use/understand so apologies for my naivety.
This is a strange situation so hopefully someone can help!
Recently I found a Toshiba A120 satellite pro in a rubbish bin.
I cant stand the idea of goog tech going to waste so I pick it out and dusted it off hoping that I could get it
working again.
However even though when I got it home and it powered up oh joy, my glee was indeed short lived by
one single word, thats right
"password="
I tried reading the sata hard drive on a separate usb to see if I could find out whose it was and contact them.
Hard drive dead.
I tried knocking on all the doors near where I found it to find the owner and try and get the password from them.(fingers crossed someone may be able to help?)
I tried my nearest laptop repair shop he quoted 100 for soldering in a new bios chip which sounded expensive and suspiciously like it wouldnt work.
I'm willing to send it into toshiba if I have to but I would really like to find a way to contact the original owner
and simply ASK THEM what the password is, I would even pay them to find out if I had to.
The only info I have is the serial number which is- s/n- 76041309h or the longer number on the bottom which is- i76041309hssac0007009ENB
If there is any way to get hold of the original owner and ask them it would be a godsend!
Thank you to anyone who can help!

How install the LAN driver for Satellite Pro A120

Actually, my problem is that i didnt know how to install the lan driver on my Satellite Pro A120 to connect throug the net.

Thats very easy to install the LAN driver.
On the Toshiba website you can search for it:

Select the right notebook. In your case its the Satellite Pro => Satellite Pro A Series => Satellite Pro A120.
And then choose at operating system Windows XP and at Driver type LAN Driver.

Download and install it. How this works did Jimi said.

Satellite Pro L650 Series - White balance of screen error

Hi all,
I am using a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes wrong white balance. In detail, the screen brightens so dazzling with strange white color. If I open some website, the pictures in the website becomes blurred images.
If I set the screen in blue color, it cannot easy realize the dazzling color, but if I set the screen in white or green and yellow, it become so abnormal colors and blurred.
I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.
Is there anyone meet this problem like me?
Could you share to me what the problem is? and what is the solution for this problem?
Thank you very much,

Hi
Did you notice this screen issue running notebook with main power or just using battery power?
I read about similar notebook screen issue which was related to Intel display power saving technology.
In such case you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - power tab - power source/battery - power conservation feature - display power saving technology and uncheck this option.

How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

Hi!,
first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
Thank you very much!!

Hi Lars_3,
thank you very much for your reply and interest.
When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
Thank you very much for your kind help!

How can i do to recovery Satellite Pro S300

Hi ...
I am Frman From Kurdistan Of Iraq
thanks for this forums to take all outfit .
I want help me for recovery my laptop.
How can i do recovery my laptop toshiba sattelite pro s300 with all driver but i depletion my data in my laptop to recovery.
Can you help me? send me data to recovery .
Thank you

Hello Frman
The whole story is very simple. To learn how to identify and find drivers for your notebook do as follow:
# Go to http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails and put X8016403H serial number there. You will see there exact name and model number of your notebook.
# According model name you have US notebook model so go to US support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
# Click on download and choose Laptops > Satellite Pro > S300-EZ2501
# All stuff you need you can find now.
Please note: recovery image is not downloadable and you will not be able to find it. I presume you don't have original Toshiba disc. So your best option is to install supported operating system using Microsoft installation disc. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find in US Toshiba download section.
If you have more questions please let us know.

How to install WLAN adapter in Satellite Pro A10

I am trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was wireless enabled, but when I toggle the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no wireless card listed under Network adaptors (so I guess not).
How easy is it to install a wireless adaptor (i.e. can I do it myself or do I need to have it done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend which card I should by (or any I should avoid)?
Thanks.

Hi
According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro A10 is WLAN ready. In notebook specification there are listed two compatible WLAN cards:
PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b).
I really do not know if you can use some faster WLAN cards with standard g. Maybe you will be lucky and someone will post here WLAN card upgrade results.
I am not 100% sure where the WLAN slot is placed but check please under the cover placed nears the battery.

How to disable automatic resume on Satellite P100-437

Hello to all.
I bought recently the P100-437. In general I am happy with my laptop but there is an issue that I am trying to solve and unfortunately I can't.
When I put the laptop in Hibernation and close the lid then when I open the lid the laptop automatically resumes windows. This has put me into troubles when I had to pass from some security checks in the airports.
So, I am looking for a way to stop this automatically resuming on lid opening.
It is really important to do that. Do you have any suggestions or the way this can be done??
Regards,
G.

Hello idet
I think it is time to end this long discussion. First of all you can not expect any solution because solution exists just if there is some problem. But in your case there is no problem. With simply words: no problem no solution, just possibility to avoid notebook to switch ON after opening the lid.
I also understand what you want but something like this is definitely not possible. You will not find any setting for that. When you close the lid one small hidden switch is activated and when you open the lid the same switch lose connection and give a signal to laptop to start OS because laptop knows the lid is open.
I can just imagine you bring your notebook to the service and they can cutoff the cable between this switcher and main board.
I have found similar question here when one forum user asked how to disable fingerprint reader on his new Portege 400. Something like this is definitely not possible. Just cutting off physical connection can help. Maybe!!!

How to access WLAN card on Satellite Pro 6100?

I'm cleaning up a Satellite Pro 6100 for a customer and noticed that it has a built in wireless card (something they didn't know). However, I just can't work out how to access it. I've pushed the little switch on the side backwardsa and forwards, I've toggled Fn-F8 and everything else i can think of. But nothing happens.
I even discovered the Network Device Switch utility but that's only showing the LAN card.
Any ideas?

First of all please check in the device manager if the notebook has built-in WLan card. The available WLan switch at the notebook site says nothing. The notebooks are delivered with different specifications and the WLan card is optional.
I think the WLan card is not installed in your notebook and therefore you cannot use it.

How to downgrade to WXP on Satellite Pro A200GE with Toshiba XP Recovery

Hi I have A200GE having preinstalled windows vista business edition and I ordered it with windows xp and an xp recovery dvd came as its of 3.01GB.
I really cannot understand that why it cannot install as when i install a blue screen comes in the end and laptop restarts.
Than i came to know the nlite software and the sata drivers I loaded the sata drivers on another dvd disk separetly as nlite did not recognize my dvd window cd.
But still I loaded the files separetly, now when I loaded that dvd the setup does not start rather a dos command type window opens and I dont know what to do.
Plz anybody help me what canI do of the xp recovery cd which came with my laptop as I am desperate to use it vista is too slow and i cannot tolerate it.
RGRDS
ZAVI

Thanks alot for your reply.
Yes i ordered my laptop with Xp cd which in fact is dvd as its 3.01 GB and yes it is specially made for my notebook ie Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9.
I purchased my laptop from sharptext in ireland.
The problem is that when XP setup is copmpleted and when it restarts a blue screen appears and the laptop restarts coz it does not have the intel matrix storage driver.
Thats funny a cd which is made for my laptop does not work. Furthermore I asked the representative from whome i bought the laptop; he asked from toshiba sales person the person said xp should not be installed coz if the laptop has any kind of hardware failure they wont claim it.
Secondly I am running the Bios of XP on my Vista currently and now also i have tried but of no avail.
Further i have copied the Sata drivers on another disc and copied all the data on recovery cd and made it bootable. Then the setup does not start as command window is opened.
Really doono what to do ohhhh God.
I think the last thing i can do is that buy a new XP cd from microsoft because a p1 with windows 95 is faster than with Vista.
Honestly, what do u say.
Any further help will be appreciated

Core speed, low/Satellite Pro 4200 Series

According to the laptop's manual the cpu is a pentium III E 500 MHz in my satellite pro 4200 laptop (operating system: Windows XP home edition). Checking the score speed with CPU-Z software this detects only a core speed of some 250 MHz! How can I increase the core speed to 500 MHz?

I installed the Toshiba Power Saver (XP with SP2) the processors speed icon is not activated. Using direct help on the Toshiba Power Saver screen it tells me This machine cannot modify its processor speed! But the software CPU-Z which checks the core speed still tells something of about 255 MHz but never 500 MHz!
Furthermore I can not adjust the cooling method (also with Toshiba Power Saver) either. The cooling methods setting is Performance. Is this possible?
tschantz2 and tschantz1 are the same person. So please do not be confused.

0201: Failure IDE #0 - Satellite Pro M Series

I cannot believe this is not searchable on this site given it has plenty of mentions on the net.... I certainly cannot find an answer here already so sorry for asking again.
Old Pro M-series had to put new hard drive in, however whilst I can start the Toshiba disks (odd that its XP capable but disks are for 98?) or I can run installation of XP and format the disk when it reboots after first files installed or boots not with an installation disk I get
0201: Failure IDE #0
What do I need to do to the disk to get the laptop to boot from it, odd how it can be seen by the setup program and files written to it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the input, a few things for me to try, however what still baffles me is if bios has issues with the HHD then how come windows XP recognises it, formats it and installs windows on it without fault...... when it restarts to complete the installation it gets stopped by the error.
So the windows installation disk is the bootable program from CD and that is what accesses the disk. Its when the HDD is asked to boot by itself that the error occurs. If the disk was blanked and windows is installed reformatting the disk, does this not put the necessary Master Boot Record et al things in place?
There seems to be no definitive answer to this problem after all these years and queries..... does Toshiba not know why this problem occurs?

Vista drivers for Satellite Pro U400 series

Hi,
I have a U400-142 (PSU45E) Sat Pro laptop. My IT guy wiped Vista off it (against my wishes) and stuck on XP. He even gave me a XP recovery disc! I've now removed XP and stuck back on Vista. Sadly the drives for Vista Business don't seem to be on the Toshiba Website (only XP). Does anyone know where I can get the drives or can supply them.
Thanks

Hi
I think the Vista drivers for the Satellite Pro U400 (PSU45E) will come soon.
So check from time to time the Toshiba European driver page because the drivers can be released in the next couple of days.
Please give me a feedback if you will find the drivers!!!

Disable Standby/Hibernation MSI Radio

Hi all,
through Windows power management I set my MEGA 651 to go into hibernation after 10 minutes idle time.
TV-recording programs are able to disable this setting while running.
MSI Radio unfortunately does not disable this setting therefore after listening to the radio for 10 minutes (= 10 minutes idle time) the PC goes into hibernation. Well, I would like to be able to listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes and still keep the settings in Windows power management.
So how do I let power management know, that while MSI Radio is running, it should not go into hibernation?
Any hints appreciated,
Scooty

INSTANT ON is not available for Mega 651
