Satellite a60 atheros ar5004g wireless adapter code 10 cannot start

i have a satellite a60 s-156 with with a atheros ar5004g wireless network adapter..when i upgraded the driver code 10 appearaed in device manager, i rolled back to the old driver, to the same results.
i then performed a fresh install with the recovery dvd, with the same disappointing results.
when i purchased the laptop the only software i received was the restore dvd.
i have downloaded other drivers, with the same results.
any suggestions, by the way the wifi turn on light is a orangish color.....thank you

Hi
Well, if after the recover procedure the card can not be recognized so I assume that the card has a fault. In this case you should ask the service partner for a help.
Best regards

Code 10 Cannot start device?

After putting back together my other msi system, after installing windows im getting code 10 cannot start device next the the IE1394, anyone come accross this? Ive tried removing from hardware list a restarting allowing it to redetect but comes up with the same yellow mark next to device. ANy ideas?

*cough cough*
If the problem persists try this....
search for all posts under my name i.e. by clicking search at top of screen and entering Zoomee in under the username section.
You'll find a gud ol loooooooooong post by me and a couple of other people suffering the same fault.
it's the only thing i've got left to whing about this board :>
none of that driver stuff works - cure is you have to do a cold start for it to work - i.e. when you first turn on your PC it works - do a restart and it stops working, So if you need to use it again you must SHUTDOWN your PC and press the power button on front to do a cold start.
Hope it helps - If needed - heh

Satellite Pro A200-16YT - Wireless adapter card upgrade to 802.11n

Satellite Pro is A200-16YT (PSAE1E) with Windows XP Professional SP3.
I have been trying to increase my existing 54 Mb/s wireless network speed by replacing the existing Atheros AR5007-EG 802.11a/b/g with the faster 802.11n adapter.
The Atheros driver is v9.2.0.439 (04/08/2011) which I believe is the latest. I have tried to install an Azurewave AR5BXB72 (Atheros AR5008) as a replacement, but with no success. As well as trying the standard Windows Wireless set-up, I have used the Atheros Client Utility (ACU) which confirms that the card and driver are installed and enabled, but the radio does not switch on, so no there is no association/connection with any wireless network!
Reinstalling the original AR5007 works without any problems. If anyone has experienced similar problems and/or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thank you MasterG.
I followed the link you posted and you were correct in suggesting that a WLAN card pin assignment was an issue.
On older cards, (before Revision 1.2 of the PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification), *Pin 20* was +'reserved for future wireless disable signal (if needed)'+, so presumably on my Toshiba Satellite A200, disabling the old AR2007 card was handled by the system software and the Wireless ON/OFF switch.
On the newer adapter cards, Pin 20 is assigned to a *W_DISABLE#* signal which, when low, will disable the radio.
As suggested by other posts, masking Pin 20 on the AR5008 card has prevented the radio from being disabled, and the only small problem with this is the radio can no longer be switched off with the Wireless ON/OFF switch (or with Function+F8).
However, the wireless speed is now 144.4Mbps, enabling BT Infinity broadband download speeds in excess of 30Mbps.
Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Re: Satellite Pro C870 - No Wireless, Error code 43

Have two new Satellite Pro C870's where the wireless was being disabled every second startup. Wireless NIC in device manager had an exclamation mark and was showing "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
After performing a system restore as advised by support the issue was still there.
Just before sending the two laptops off for repair I undid a setting called "fast boot" in the bios (otherwise set using a Toshiba utility).
Issue seems to have cleared after this.

Hi
You are using Win 8. Right?
> Have two new Satellite Pro C870's where the wireless was being disabled every second startup
First of all you should know that Windows 8 does not perform a real shutdown.
It goes just in hybrid mode.
Maybe the error 43 is related to the fact the Win 8 and notebook did not shut down as you expected from a system like Win 7.
If you would search for error code 43 using google, you will get a lot of hits and mostly its system / driver issue.
So first of all I recommend disabling the hybrid mode and performing complete shut down:
+Perform a complete shutdown in Windows 8+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
secondly try the WLan driver update.
Regarding the other issue
>Also had an issue with the function of turning on when the panel is opened: this would cause the laptop to turn back on immediately after shutting down.
This is also an Windows 8 feature which can be disabled:
+Why does my Windows 8 notebook start automatically when opening the display lid?+

Satellite Pro A10 - No wireless adapter not shown in device manager

Can you Help - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10
Model No PSA15E-01PFQ-EN
Serial No Y3602494G
Windows XP Pro
On the front of this laptop is a switch for wireless - this switch is set to On, Windows XP Pro cannot find any wireless device - Windows Device Manager does not show any wireless adater. Can you advice please - do I need to install Driver - Does this laptop support a wireless conection?
Many Thanks
Owen

Hi
Usually if you have a wireless switch your notebook should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try installing the driver. Then the WLAn card should be displayed in device manager properly:

If this doesnt work you can try a BIOS update.
Are you running factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?

Satellite Pro A10: New Atheros/Askey WLan card but 'This device cannot start' code 10

Hi there,
I have a Satellite Pro A10 and have purchased an internal mini pci wireless adapter. The following information is displayed on my card:
Askey WLL3070-D4(MOW)
Atheros AR5BRB-43
I installed the card, hooked up the ariel's and turned the laptop on...the switch at the front now lights up and windows xp finds the new ethernet adaptor. My problem is this...
No matter what driver i install (and ive tried every Askey/Atheros etc driver from the first 20+ pages of yahoo/google) the card installs fine but then in device manager has a yellow ! next to it and says This device cannot start (code 10)
I'm really stumped. I have some more ram coming in a few days at which point i shall be installng Vista which im hoping sorts my problems out but does anyone have any ideas?
I've yet to find a driver which specifically refers to the AR5BRB or the model number WLL3070-D4.
Does anyone have a location for a driver etc?
thank you

Hi
I use always this page for WLan driver update:
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
This is a Toshiba WLan driver portal and there you can find all necessary WLan drivers

Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

Hello there,
I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
TL;DR:
However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
"The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
"athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
"oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors. I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
Thank you for the help!
EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
EDIT2:
The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

Satellite A60 - BSOD when surfing with wireless PCMCIA card

Hello i used to browse internet with a wireless cardbus WL-54-CB (ADVANCE) on my Satellite A60-120 running windows xp sp2.
I was working well until i decided to clean my computer which was slowed down by viruses.I use Ad-aware and Kaspersky and updated patches on wndowsupdate.Now the PC is clean but i have problems with the PCMICA card, when i launch IE i surf for one minute and windows crashe BSOD !
It displays :
STOP 0x00000001 (0xFE570000,0x00000002,0x00000001,0x819587DE)
Any ideas to fix it ?
Thanks.

Cmon Guys... Stop that Toshiba Recovery Disk madness... Its no use... The Recovery Disk is as old as your laptop.. maybe older... The whole bunch of drivers in there are old... Its no use... Look.. For example if you have an Nvidia graphic Chip, you have to install the newest Nvidia driver... Prefer using the Nvidia driver, never the driver from Toshiba... And besides... It is always better to install the system manually...
Back to the question... Since you had a virus I would recommend to reinstall your OS, even you think its clean... To solve your problem...
deinstall the wireless card driver
deinstall the PCMCIA driver and install the newest driver. Write down the Model and some other infos before deinstalling it :) ...
reinstall the wlan crad driver...
test it :)
I always recommend to make a system backup every month... So if things go wrong... Just restore the backup... and everything is fine again... :)

How to use wireless adapter in Satellite C660D?

Hi everyone!
Got crazy searching for the wireless adapter in Satellite C660D-164..does it have one inbuilt? or do I have to buy an external one? Can't figure out how to set up wi-fi and bluetooth. The manual is non descriptive.
Installed all the drivers form site.
Pleas help asap.

Hi
In the device manager you can find the list of all available devices.
Under Network Adapters you should find the available Wlan card.
In order to use the Wlan, you have to enable this firstly.
Use Fn + F8 in order to switch ON the Wlan.
Then you should see a small icon in the task bar (right bottom corner). Right click on this and check if you Wlan Home Network is visible.
Then insert the encryption password and usually the notebook should connect to the home Wlan.

Satellite Z830 - Wireless adapter drop out/conflict with USB

My Satellite Z830 has a wierd problem. The wireless connectivity works well until I plug a usb flashdrive into the usb 3 port on the side. The wireless then drops out after a period and from then on it cant find any wireless connections available. It effectively kills the wireless adapter, or at least makes it less reliable.
You have to reboot to get the connection back. I've tried with a few different usb storage devices with the same outcome. Both the wireless connection and the usb drive work fine, but not at the same time. This happens regardless of whether using the battery or when plugged in. I checked the power settings to ensure there wasnt some problem there. Everything is just on factory install/settings generally, so I cant imagine it is anything I've changed.
I'm at work, but I'll see if I have the same problem with the usb sockets at the back, and/or with powered usb hard disk, when i get home. This is really annoying, as you cant use the net and leave a usb disk in without risking a drop out. I havent checked messing around with USB root hub settings or IRC issues as this seems unlikely. Any thoughts or is the a "give it back to Toshiba" issue - I'd rather not have the down time. It took me quite a while to work out this was the problem.
The wireless connection itself is very strong where the ultrabook is being used, so isnt a signal strength issue.

I used inSSIDer Office 5 day trial (http://www.metageek.net/support/downloads/)
too identify the same problem with my Z830.
_The results are really astonishing:_
the signal strength measured in dBm increases by > 100 times when the corded mouse is unplugged from the from the side USB port.
(plugging it into any of the USB ports in the back has no impact on the signal strength.)
In my case it jumped from -68 dBm to -41 dBm,: the -27 dBm difference means a 22.4 times improvement in signal strength (from about 100 pW to 2,240 pW).
See wikipedia for signal strength calculations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm
I tested to plug in an external hard disk into the side USB and it had the same -27 dBm effect on the signal strength.
In other words the wifi signal strength jumps from poor to excellent when the side USB is not used.
Toshiba must look into this significant hardware design fault and in the interim, as the very least, must advise their customers against using the side USB port when on a wireless network.

Wireless connection on Satellite A60-743 does not work properly

i can't get any connection to the wireless internet with my notebook. how can i use it? this notebook should have wireless, but i tried to connect and there happens nothing! please help me!!!
best regards,
nasi

Hi
Dont be mad at me and sorry for my next hard words but such statements like this notebook should have wireless or i tried to connect and there happens nothing are bulls**t!
Do you know what Wlan is and how it works?!
Regarding your statement I dont think so!!!
First of all why you suggest this notebook should support the WLan card!? Who told you this!?
I have checked the hardware configuration of this notebook and the Satellite A60-743 was delivered WITHOUT the minPCI WLan card!!!
Why you dont check this in the first step!?
You should check the WLan card availability in the device manager. Under network adapters you should see the WLan card.
If the WLan card does not appear you have NO WLAN!!!

Satellite A60: Wireless LAN switch at the side is cover over

hi I have a Satellite A60 notebook, I want to turn on my Wireless Lan But the switch at the side is cover over like its just for show. I have all the indications that i can turn it on, the symbol at the fron and the on/ off at the side, but as i said it is covered over and not a switch as showld be. Does theis mean I can't have a wireless connection or is it a fault in the notebook? please help.
many thanks

I do not have an answer, I just want to share your frustration. I recently sorted out a wireless hub for home but I can not get on it with my A60.
I also have the light at the front and the blanked off switch on the right and a manual which talks of wireless LANS in glowing tones.
I was lead to believe that it was wireless enabled but it is not!!!
It even comes up with a graphic "searching for a wireless connection" but that's pointless if it has not got the stuff to work [when it's inches from the wireless hub].

Is there a wireless adaptor included in the Satellite A60-662?

I'm trying to connect to a wireless network (the standard is 802.11b/g). In the manual, it does say something about the existence of an adapter, but I cannot see anything relevant in the device list in Windows XP. I keep seeing this "i.LINK (IEEE 1394)" thing and I have no idea what it is.
Anyway, here's my question, short and straight to the point: I want to connect to a wireless network (802.11b/g). Do I need to buy a network adapter for this, or do I already have one built in my notebook?
Thank you very much
Roxana

Hi
If your unit has WLAN card, on the bottom side there must be placed WiFi sticker.

Satellite T130 - No wireless adapter in device manager

I only got connected to the internet yesterday. The internet worked fine, but on shut-down I had the first round of Windows updates. Now I have exactly the same situation - no wireless adapter in the device manager, no unknown or 'other' devices (some posts suggest update driver for these then it will recognise). I had not played around with the system settings at all (only had the laptop for a month) and even restoring it to before I had the internet has not got it back. Interestingly when I turn on the computer the 'internet' LED on my router blinks for a few seconds - suggesting some communication as I am the only computer connected. Also as it worked fine before (and the laptop has not even been moved) I do not believe the many responses to posts about "hardware problems". After seeing many similar questions in this and the US forum I wish I had never bought this laptop. Because I have not seen any posts with a solution apart from taking it into the service centre!
I really don't want to go down the service centre route with a brand new PC. I will never again buy Toshiba unless they offer me a downloadable/phone solution when I call them tomorrow.
I really hope someone from Toshiba is taking all these posts seriously. Don't do a Toyota.

Hi buddy,
To be honest I dont know what problem you have.
First of all its not important if your notebook is brand new or not. Such problems can happen on all computers, even if they are only few days old. Every parts are electrical parts and can die always. Nobody is able to say when it happens or can avoid this.
For example with a new car you can also have problems after few days and then you also go to the service point. ;)
Back to your problem:
You can try restoring to factory settings. If this doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction but make sure that WLAN adapter is enabled with FN+F8 key combination.
I doubt that somebody from Toshiba will read your posting. Its only an user to user forum where you can talk with normal users. Toshiba isnt your first contact person, its always the authorized service provider.
Here you can search for an ASP in your country:

Good luck and I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

Code 10 error - wireless adapter

For some reason, and all of a sudden, my Linksys WMP54G wireless card has the code 10 error - Device cannot start.
I've searched and searched, un-installed, re-installed, tried different PCI slots etc and was even on the live chat to a Linksys 'Technical' support person last night (what a waste of time). I have the latest drivers.
Can anyone point me in the direction of anything that'll help me rectify the error. I asume it's an IRQ problem. The card was working well for 3 or 4 days and prior to that it was working for a couple of years in my old set up.
Coincidently, although it may be connected, ATItool had problems at exactly the same time, but I've now un-installed that......................
Any help is appreciated!
D.

Hi,
I just 'GOOGLED' code 10 error and all seems sorted for you------so----away you go. Hope this helps. Just reassign the resourse i think.
