Satellite 210ct - need software for it

I have one of these ancient laptops, and i cant find any support, or downloads for it from www.toshiba.com.
I bought one of these 210ct's and it was formatted when i got it. I saw it when it still had os in it and it worked perfectly.
Now when i boot it up, it starts, then it beebs 3 times and turns off. I tried to access its bios with esc key, but it didn't work. only thing i got working, was pressing f12 many times, and then it beebed only one time and didn't turn off.
Laptop's screen didn't show anything so i plugged it into my desktops screen and then i got text: Ready for bios update. I tried to boot it from diskette too, but it didn't help. Maybe i should update its bios, but i couldn't find it anywhere.
What should i do?

Hi
Holding the F12-key before powering up the PC starts the emergency BIOS update sequence.
Normally you don't need to do this.
If the screen is black at all times but you get the text displayed on an external screen then I think there is something wrong with the hardware of your 210CT.
Check if you can find a small pin or hole close the screen hinges (there might not be any! It might be an internal construction - I don't really remember). Make sure the pin can go up and down without problems. When you press it down you should hear a system beep if the unit is turned on and not in the BIOS update procedure.
The pin is responsible for turning the display off when you close the screen. If it is stuck pressed down the screen will not come on.
Next, if you still have the external screen attached, turn on the PC and press ESC repeatedly. You should get an error message that say something like "Press F1 to continue".
Press F1 and then you're inside the BIOS. Press HOME for default settings and then END to save them and exit. You must answer (Y)es to confirm.
The machine will reboot.
If you still have a black internal screen you could remove the keyboard and make sure the graphics card has not slid out of it's connector. It could be the reason for the beeps that you hear when you start the machine.
Good luck!
Tom

    Need software for my Mac to use my Cannon MX 340 Scanner / Printer

    The latest software I found for that model was for Mac OS 10.7.
    I expect you are running Mac OS 10.8 or Mavericks in which case contact Canon and see if they have updated their drivers for your MX 340 Scanner / Printer.

  • Need software for Intel ESB2 SATA RAID Controller for Windows 2012rR

    I have installed Windows 2012r2 on my HP XW8600 and I found the software for the LSI Adapter (SAS 3000 series) but I am unable to find the software for management of the Intel ESB2 SATA RAID controller.  The only software I could find was listed as a Windows 7 application but will not install onto my Windows 2012r2.   Thank You 

    That looks exactly like the software I tried and an error reported this software will not install on this platform.  I will try again tonite and see what happens.  I will test all the apps on that list starting with the latest and see what happens. I thank you for your help.   

  • Needed software for ABAP certification training

    Hi All,
    I am a software developer. I'm new to SAP, but exited about working hard to become an SAP Development Consultant. I plan to take the courses
    TAW10_54 ABAP Workbench Fundamentals
    TAW12_52 ABAP Workbench Concepts
    which end with a certification test for
    Development Consultant SAP NetWeaver 2004 – Application Development Focus ABAP
    I think I will need to have my own access to the development tools for my training outside the classroom. I have found that there is a download: SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - ABAP Trial Version. My questions are:
    - Is this download what I need to set up a development environment for training and testing the skills from these courses?
    - Is there som other way to get access to working tools for certification training needs?
    I will be very grateful for any info/tip on how to test Netweaver application development using ABAP.
    Best Regards,
    Inge

    Hi,
    There is a web site www.sapdomain.com which is for ABAP certification. It is useful if you want to go for the SAP ABAP certification.
    reward if it helps.
    Regards.

    Hi Mike,
    it would be great if you could help me out here.
    We play standard Movies recorded during games and practice - full screen from mac to TV - and would like to draw on and mark certain parts during play as well as when on pause. Kind of use a standard telestrator as seen on TV. The problem we currently have is that we usually cannot do this when on full screen mode. You have numerous software programs and offers, but which one simply fulfills our needs?
    Thanks,

  • Need software for JetDirect en3700

    I need a printer server, and my brother-in-law recently gave me a JetDirect en3700 (J7942A).  He didn't provide the software that goes with the device.  I thought I could download the software from HP's web site, but the links for technical support on this device are all broken.  Can someone suggest how I can get the software?

  • New/Needed software for a Zen To

    I have already ordered my Zen on newegg.com, its on its way as i type. Is there any software/that i really need beside the player driver. And what firmware(s) should I use. What program should i use for tranfering music back and forth? And I haven't seen to much problems with the player but the "hold-button" on the back. What earbuds should I buy with a budget of like $30? Any help would be thanked for.
    ~Future

    You will need to install at least the driver, if you are planning on using it with say Windows Media Player. It comes also with MediaSource, and there's other software you can use with it linked from the FAQ Part post. Depends on your preference.
    There's many threads on headphones, so I would recommend searching back.

  • Satellite A200 - Need driver for CD/DVD drive

    Hey folks.
    Recently installed WXP Pro on my A200 PSAEC laptop, so I'm now dual booting XP and Vista on my laptop.
    Problem is, I've got all the drivers working on XP and everything's running perfect, but when I tried to burn a DVD, Nero says the recorder can't burn DVDs. In "My Computer" the drive shows as a DVD-RW drive, but when I insert a blank DVD, it says CD Drive. The drive shows up as "TCSDcor' CD/DVDW TC-L6#2D" in device manager. I've searched around for a driver, but can't find an exact match for that drive and there's no optical drive drivers on this Toshiba site driver section. The only thing I've found is an executable file for upgrading the firmware, but it throws an error saying it's the wrong drive.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    Toshiba European driver page provides three different firmware updates for Satellite A200 PSAEC series:
    TO02 for CD/DVD drive TS-L632
    TO02 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632P
    (This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
    TO03 - for CD/DVD drive TS-L632H
    (This firmware solves some problems of the optical disc drive.)
    Im not quite sure what TO0$ means but I think the sign $ is only a free variable parameter (place marker).
    If you want to check your current firmware then you could check it using the Nero Info Tool
