Satellite P10-304: WLan card replacement - Do I need the same Wlan chip?

Hi all,
got a satellite P10-304 from a mate here.
He said the wireless has never worked on it and hes had it years and someone else has already looked at it and changed the wireless card TNA.
Basically it just acts as if the wireless switch isn't working and it stays permanently off although the drivers install fine and the card shows as ok. Just disconnected.
Now I thought, ok, i'll take a look as I'm pretty good on the old hardware. Took it apart and what do you know, the switch was bent and not in place. I put the switch back into place, checked in the on and off positions with a multimeter to check the switch was working and it was doing its job perfectly.
Now it still does not work.
I am guessing this is now due to the fact that as I said, the card has been changed from its original to an intel pro jobby.
My question is, am I right, do I just need to get the same card that was originally in it. I assumed that when the switch was put back correct I would have it solved.

Hi
The WLan card should be enabled bu switching the switch to ON position (the LED should light up) and additionally you should chose the WLan antenna using the key combination FN + F8.
Please check this!
Note; go to device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab
There you can check if WLan is enabled as well.

Satellite P10-804 wireless card upgrade

Hi,
Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10-804 but can't find any.
The the current wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC but it doesnt do the 802.11G standard and no WPA security.
Anyone know of what are good replacement cards that will work on my laptop?
Ive come across this one but Im not sure if it is compatible or not as I can't find any compatibility info for it: PA3416U-1MPC
Thanks,
Mark

Hi
I think the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
I mean the notebook supports the miniPCI Wlan card and the PA3416U-1MPC is a miniPCI Wlan card.
The WLan antenna behind the notebooks screen should be connected to the connectors placed on miniPCI WLan card.
The two connectors are marked with MAIN and AUX. Normally a white cable goes to the MAIN and a black to the AUX
bye

Satellite P10-304 Won't power up now

Hello,
Got Satellite P10-304 machine which won't power up after 2nd attempt. What happened:-
Machine powered up from cold start - booted up Window XP ok. After 5 -10 minutes, machine screen went dimmed (looks like backlight have gone) and couldn't power off machine by pressing power button, so had to remove the battery pack to kill the power into machine.
Now, machine won't power up (even battery pack fully charged), When I pressed the power button, I do get a orange light flashed once inside the blue light circle area around power button.
Leave machine powered off for about 1 hour and machine started up in BIOS screen and then after 3 mins screen went dimmed again. Machine won't start up again! Checked AC adaptor and getting 19.3Volts and 6.1Amp so power supply unit ok.
Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing? Dose anyone come across this problem before?
Many thanks

Hello
> Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing?
Yes, it seems so :(
Maybe its not the mainboard but another hardware part. But to be honest you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check the notebook to determine what is exactly wrong.
And here you can search the nearest ASP:

What internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

Can anyone give me an answer to what internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.
I've been told a SDR-6012 or a UJ-820 DVD+/-RW might work.
Please help
Thanks
Lee

Hi
Did you check the user manual of the P10 Satellite?
Sometimes the compatible CD/DVD drives can be found in the user manual which should be installed on your notebook.
If you dont have the user manual then you could download it from the Toshiba page.
However, if you will not find the right info in the user manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
Usually you could order a supported drive from these guys.
Its important that you know what drives are compatible due to the different master\slave\c-sel settings.
Bye and good luck

Hi there,

My iphone 4 recently shattered and i was wondering are those screen replacements retina displays and the same quality as the apple screens ?

Are these cheaper alternative screen replacements retina display and the same quality as the apple screen

I am assuming you are having Apple do this. They will just replace the whole phone with a refurbished one.
If you're having it done at a third party place then you'll have to ask them all the questions.

Satellite P10-304 DVD/CD-RW drive to slow

Hi
My P10-304 has a 24 x speed dvd/cdrw drive. Burning a full cd takes 10-12 minutes. That's far to much. I'm using Nero Burning Rom, but i think, that has nothing to do with it.
ps. I use highets burning speed, have a lot of free space on hdd, use good cdr.
Can anyone help?

Hello
I have the Satellite P20 and it has, I believe, the same drive like your P10. I can really not say that the drive burns too slow. I dont know which kind of data you burn but in my opinion 10 min is normal time for burning whole 700 Mb on CD-R/RW.

I am trying to add a new credit card and it keeps telling me that I have to enter a valid security code...I have tried 2 different cards and it is doing the same thing. How do I get past this?

I guess it has been a year since I last purchased something on I-tunes and my account is saying that they couldn't authorize my card for some of my purchases. I am trying to add a new credit card to clear this up and it keeps saying that I have to enter a valid security code. I have tried 2 different cards and I get the same thing. I have also added an I-tunes gift card and that isn't clearing up the money that I owe. It is showing that I have a $25 credit for that. How do I fix this, I have been trying for days and all I have got from the e-mail tech support is that its my credit card issuer that is causing the problem. Thats not correct because one of the credit cards that I am trying to use, is a prepaid Visa gift card. I know that these work on I-tunes because I have used them before in the past. I am getting very frustrated with this whole process, I just want to clear up my account and buy some new music!! HELP!!

You probably ran into blocks & locks.

HT204364 How do I make different greeting cards and send them to the same address in a bulk - not having to pay $3.99 shipping for each card

In Iphoto, I would like to produce a bunch of greeting cards with different pics for different people and I would like all these cards to be sent to my home address in one shipment.
The way I understand it, I can only prodce one card and order multiple copies of the same card.
I am looking for a way not to spend $0.99 + $3.99 (shipping)....
Can this be done?
Or is there an app that allows that?
Or how can I save each card and have them printed somewhere else?
Thanks!

Not really because the format is an odd size and when you save it as a pdf file there's a white border around the card.
There are 2 tutorials on how to print them yourself if you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers or Pages from iWork: iP06 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card and iP07 - Printing a iPhoto Greeting Card to Standard Stock Sizes. Apple has made it difficult to print them borderless unless the card color is the same as the card stock.

Can I swap sim cards between 2 phones on the same account?

I have an iPhone 5 AT&T still in contract and a second phone iPhone 4 out of contract. I want to upgrade the 4 to a 5s and then swap the SIM cards between them. I know Verizon lets you move the phone upgrades bewteen phones within the same account. Does ATT?

I have an iPhone 4 ATT out of contract and upgraded to an iPhone 5s ATT. The iPhone 4 is still on iOS 6 and I'm leaving it there for testing purposes. I have been taking the SIM out of my 5s and putting it into my 4 (using adapter purchased on amazon). This has been working perfectly so far.
Note that both phones were purchased under the same contract. When I say the iPhone was "out of contract" I mean it had been more than two years so I was month to month at the time I upgraded to the 5s -- at which point I went to a 2 year contract again.
Hope this helps.

Satellite L850: usage of AC adptor and battery at the same time?

Hi,
I have Satellite L850 and I need to know the good practice in charging the battery.
I mean by the good practice, the way by which I get the longest possible life for my laptop's battery.
Currently, I always keep my laptop connected to the charger power cord regardless its battery being completely charged or not. Does this behavior reduces the life time of the battery?
Also some of my friends advised me with strange advice, that I can to remove the battery even the computer is on when it is connected to the charger power cord! Does this safe and possible?
Please I'm waiting your help. If there is a documented answer it will be nice.
Best Regards
Said Bakr

> Currently, I always keep my laptop connected to the charger power cord regardless its battery being completely charged or not. Does this behaviour reduce the life time of the battery?
I do the same all the tie and now after almost two years battery on my Satellite P500 is still in good condition so I think batteries are not so sensitive.
As Akuma wrote from time to time use notebook on battery power supply only and do a complete discharge and recharge.
> Also some of my friends advised me with strange advice, that I can to remove the battery even the computer is on when it is connected to the charger power cord! Does this safe and possible?
You can do this and use notebook without battery but I think it is not necessary.

Can I have pages automatically replace specific words with the same word in a different font as I type?

In MS Word I was able to set it up so any time I typed the name of the organization I run, Camp Aldersgate, it would automatically change the font to our branded font from our logo. The font appears in the font list, and I can select it and use it. How do I do the same thing in Pages?

You can create a character style with the specific font. Custom styles are only document specific so save a documnet as a tempalte containing this style. Use this template when you need this style.
When you have written you document use Find and replace > Advanced > write the word to find and write it again in the replace field but change the Style button option to the new specific style > press replace

Apple TV Keeps dropping , Just got a replacement today but does the same whats the problem

I went today to the Apple store in Fashion Center in Las Vegas , NV . Replaced my Apple TV Box 3rd Generation 1080 P and when the technisian gave me the new one told me if you will still have the same issue contact support? What a joke so they will charge me money to talk to them.
Well why it keeps dropping ? Just had a replacement where Apple never told any one of a recall , Apple is getting to be a cheating company and hope that a class action one day will make them pay fines of Millions of Dollars.I bought it at the Apple store and they have all my infor along with an Imac,MacBook Pro,Two Iphone 5's and an Ipad Air . Hey Thousands of Dollars spending of hard money and what Apple egnores you ? hey that is not right someone has to start a class action lawsute against them have them pay for all this.
I am a big fan of Apple but after today I will start cutting with my Apple products and go back to Windows at lease Bill Gates never cheated on us, But still Steve Jobs was great , Unlike the CHEATER Tim Cook that even dont have a recall on his faulty products.
I have many crashes with my Iphone 5 and my new Ipad Air and when ever i go to the Apple store there Tec people always says well you have to Reset all setting and then it will resolve the problem.I see that this is all they know, Mostly kids working there and it is not my first time that i hear this , RESTORE the Phone or the Computer or the Ipad thats all they know , They have no clue of whats going on ,I encorage you to go to Fashion Show Calleria and tell them that your Iphone keeps crashing all they will say right away Restore all settings and they did it to me but same issue presists , So today i did not want them to restore my new iPad air where the Tec Lady saw that it has crashed so many times.
This is a real joke i Google my TV Box and saw that since 2012 they where having issues with it and no one had let us know.I kept restarting the Apple Tv till last night when it got on my nerves and Googled it and saw that there was a problem that was going on for Two years.
So what do you guys suggest that i will do to resolve my problem,I count on you here at the forums more than counting on Apple.
Regards
Sam

My experience is that the dropping connection looks like a firmware 6.x issue, whereas losing home sharing already occurred in firmware 5.x Actually, I felt that the losing home sharing problem was at least partially solved in firmware 6.x
I also know that the home sharing issue is quite complicated and may be not related to the Apple TV at all (but more to the network / sleeping computer / iTunes).
