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:

This is a Toshiba WLan driver portal and there you can find all necessary WLan drivers

  • Sound card problem - This device cannot start. (Code

    hi all,
    here's my situation...
    i had a dell dimension 4400 that came with a sound blaster li've! value(wdm) sound card. i recently got a new motherboard/case etc. i transferred the sound card to my new system and i get a "This device cannot start. (Code 0)" error when i check device manager. for some reason, the game port on the sound card is working fine, but the audio processor part has the error. windows recognizes the card, but it won't use it. the card is a little over 3 years old.
    now, i've read the forums, tried a clean install, registry tweaks, changed bios settings, even did a hd format. i also tried different pci slots. i have sp2 and all my other drivers are updated.
    the new motherboard i have is a gigabyte 8ipe000g. i already contacted gigabyte, did not get much help. it has onboard ac97 audio. i disabled the onboard audio, but it did not seem to change anything. i have also tried windows drivers, the dell drivers from the cd, and the drivers from the creative website. none of them changed anything. i am now having trouble removing the drivers from add/remove programs. i keep removing them, but they still remain, even after using the wdm driver remover from the cd (a file named ctapxx.exe, or something similar). it's almost like windows is not actually installing the drivers when i install them. i'm wondering if the code 0 error is specifically driver related.
    the first time i disabled the onboard audio and updated the drivers a weird thing happened. every time i started the computer up it would crash when it got to the desktop. it no longer does this for some reason, everything now starts up, but i have no audio. the sound card is the only device giving me problems on my system.
    is there anything else i need plugged into the sound card? all i have is the sound card plugged into the pci slot, and an audio cord going from the card to my dvd dri've. is there anything that is supposed to go from the card directly to the motherboard? as far as i can tell, i have everything hooked up correctly. i don't understand why the game port works, but not the audio processor.
    so, i have basically tried everything. seems like quite a few people get code 0 errors with some sort of hardware they have, but it usually seems like there is no definite solution.
    does anyone have a similar problem, or a solution? hopefully i don't have to get a new sound card. i would just stick with my onboard audio, but i hear it can cause problems with games.

    Since you have a new board it maybe a bios setting.
    Is there IRQ conflict from the soundcard.
    Maybe remove the card and unistall the software, use a tool "driver cleaner pro" to remove all creative files.
    Check your mainboard manual on what pci slot that dont share, i hear slot 3 is the one to use, i use slot 5.
    Fit the card and reinstall.
    Best of luck.

  • Portege A600-175 - Card reader device cannot start

    I got a Portege A600-175 running windows XP SP3 with a problem in the card reader device. Inserting a SD it makes the sound that usually USB devices make when inserted ( and also when it is removed) bur it doesnt appear on my computer. Getting to device manager It appears as a disk with an exclamation point over it and in properties I see the error This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    Ive already removed the device and let windows look for it and install it again but the problem continues.
    Thanks in advance for looking into it.

    Thanks Xardas for the fast reply,
    As I'm in Potugal some terms appearing blow are in Portuguese. So I've download the driver (carc-20081103175358 - Card Reader Ricoh) uninstall "Ricoh- Controladores anfitres digitais seguros", run the setup in the downloaded driver folder.
    Restart the machine (prompt by the setup) as the restart takes place I got the balloon "new pci device found". After the complete install the problem continues
    By the way in the properties tab of "Ricoh- Controladores anfitres digitais seguros" I still got under detailes Publisher(fornecedor) Microsoft corporation Version 6.0.4069.5512 xpsp0850413-2111
    Thanks again

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - some keys not working with new keyboard

    Hi all
    I hope some1 can help with this
    i have a Satellite Pro A10. The prob i have is a.b.n.and enter keys are not working and its a new keyboard
    i fitted into my other A10 and all keys work so keyboard is fine.
    All works ok with usb keyboard. Had motherboard out all seems ok.
    Any help plz
    chris....
    Message was edited by: widgy

    Hi
    Why do you think that the motherboard is ok?
    Maybe its a keyboard controller issue
    Did you check if the cable was connected properly?
    In my opinion if you are 100% sure that the keyboard is ok then the issue must be related to the motherboard because there is no other part which is placed between the keyboard and mobo.
    Bye

  • 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 - no response - HDD input#0 Error

    Pro A10 Out of warranty, student daughter reports laptop no longer working, previously hanging and finally no response from any other LEDs when DC input from charger is connected.
    Cleaned out fan/heat sink, lots of fluff etc removed. No obvious signs of why the M'Board dead though. Confirmed with meter that DC present from charger into M'Board. Ordered replacement M'Board, FHZSY1, from ebay and fitted, taking all static precautions, though can't confirm they were done by the seller.
    New Board now recognizes DC input and recharged the battery OK. Tried to power on the laptop but dreaded INPUT#0 Error. Concluded that HDD had also been damaged. New one (Toshiba Boxed) arrived 2 days later but gave same error when fitted. BIOS will not recognize HDD at all. Tried all posts about checking connections and definitely no jumpers fitted. Laptop will continue to boot from a System CD as far as it can so believe the new M'Board is OK
    Are the HDD's from the Satellite Pro A10 different to those on the earlier Satellite A10?
    Any other ideas on this INPUT #0 Error?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your post on this. You have probably spotted when I said input#0 error I meant to say IDE#0 error.
    The replacement motherboard was a used one, rather than new. When I powered the laptop up firstly with this replacement board I needed to set the time from its default of 1 jan 2000, suggesting that though it was still connected to its cmos battery it had lost its charge. Is it possible that this may have affected the bios as well? The POST shows it running bios version 1.2 where other sites indicate a 1.3 version to be available.
    I'm waiting for a usb 2.5" HDD disk case to arrive so I can check out the 'old' and new drives in another desktop to eliminate that doubt.
    Thanks

    Hey,
    > 48-bit LBA: Not Suppported, Inactive
    This would mean you can only use HDDs up to 128GB if 48bit LBA is not supported.
    But if your current HDD has only 30GB I think something with 80GB should be enough or how much disk space you want?
    The HDD brand is not important, every HDD is compatible so just buy new HDD with good offer. :)

  • Satellite Pro A10 - need a part number for compatible power adapter

    My son has the older Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 Intel Celeron 2.0GHZ 256MB 30 GB DVD/CD-RW 14tft monitor.
    His power supply is no longer working , can anyone tell me the power adapter part number as i am looking for a new one for him.
    I need a part number to go on, and any other compatable power adapters numbers.
    Appreciate any help given.

    Hi Jane,
    I believe the part number you need is PA3283E-2ACA

  • Upgrading Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 hard drive

    Hi
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10. It is an old laptop, but rather than change it, I would like to install a new hard drive. I have previously put in new RAM to this laptop, but I know the Hard drive change is more complex, so I need as much help as I can get
    The laptop is running well, but the 20GB HDD is obviously too small. I have an external USB hard drive for multimedia stuff etc, but the main HDD, even with just the Windows XP and other software on it is always near to the 20GB and the time has come to change
    I know I can handle the 'hardware' changeover without much problem. I am intending to get a USB enclosure to allow a clone of the old drive to be copied to the new one, so that when I do install it, the only difference to the laptop will be the larger storage capacity on the internal HDD
    I have read extensively about the variety of issues and I am still quite confused. The main issues for me seem to be
    -Whether the BIOS affects the type of internal HDD I can install
    -I am fairly sure the interface I need is ATA-100/IDE. So does this mean I cannot use SATA?
    -What size of HDD can I install? Is there a limit?
    -Does the current internal HDD have partitions? I am not sure? It is the same as it was when I bought it, so would Toshiba have put a partition on it containing OS or software? I don't know. I have 'recovery discs' but no Specific windows disc, as one did not come with the laptop. So considering this, how do I go about 'cloning' the old drive onto the new, and then installing it 'seamlessly'?
    -Do I need specific software for a 'clone'? Otherwise, how do I do it?
    -What do I need to look for in a HDD, when buying? Some sellers seem to see potential issues to do with the capacity, others do not. Im confused
    So, as I say, all I want, is to get a larger internal HDD and install it without problems. Im willing to do the work involved, but only when Im confident I have all the necessary information and 'boxes ticked'. Otherwise I fear it may be a disaster.
    I am not able to afford to buy a new laptop, so all help is very much appreciated
    All advice welcome. Also, if you have any questions just ask
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    Can you provide the COMPLETE model number and the part number for that model?  I don't want to give you any incorrect information.  The part number would look like this.  PSA10U-3V1JG8
    But based on what you have stated so far I would say you need an EIDE or ATA hard drive.  Due to bios limitations that I am 95% certain will be in place with your model you will be limited to a 120GB or smaller 9.5mm thick 2.5" ATA/EIDE hard drive.  I recommend Western Digital Scorpio BLue drives for their combination of price, performance, and reliability. 
    Once you post the model and part number I can verify this so you can order the correct drive for you system.
    Western Digital has a free version of Acronis True Image that you can download that you can use to clone your old drive to your new drive if you purchase a WD drive.
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Enabling LAN after reinstalling Windows - Satellite Pro A10

    I gave my Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 Laptop a clean format with a copy of Windows XP Pro. Typically, I use a PCMCIA Wireless Internet card, but I do want to connect my laptop via a physical Ethernet cable. Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to enable the LAN on my PC (I.E. It's not even found in the Device Manager). Does anybody know how to do this? (ie. What Toshiba Utility I need to do this etc)

    Hi
    Usually if the LAN driver was not installed the yellow exclamation mark should appear in the device manager.
    If you cannot see any unknown devices so possibly the LAN card is faulty.
    But firstly as the other guys has suggested try to install the right and compatible LAN driver from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite Pro A10 won't boot (HDD seems to be missing)

    Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 year old Satellite Pro A10. Recently it won't boot at all and I notice that if i look at the directories in the C: drive using the command prompt it says 'file not found'. Can't start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
    Using the recovery disks doesn't help either I get messages like No such fixed Disk and 'Extraction Failed'.
    does this mean I have:
    1 A damaged hard disk
    2. Faulty connections to the HDD? - if so how do I rectify this?
    the system didn't crash before this happened, it failed to load up when I started it.
    Would appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Scl

    Jeffery and Ivan25 are correct in HDD malfunction. Try and remove and reattach the HDD and see if BIOS sees the HDD. If not you are going to need to order a replacement HDD. If BIOS does not even see the HDD then you wont even be able to install any Operating system, because there is logically nowhere to store the data being copied.
    Take it to an Authorized service provider near you to have it checked out. Could also very well be the HDD Controller on the Motherboard has went bad and can not detect any HDD connected to the motherboard even if it is new and unused.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro A10,Windows XP Service Pack 2

    Hi everyone,
    I have a "Toshiba Satellite Pro A10: P4-M 2.2 GHz/XP Pro/15" TFT/40 GB/768 MB".
    I installed the Windows XP Service pack-2 in my notebook.
    After updating to winXP SP2, the only way to start up my comp after putting it in "standby mode" or "hibernation mode" is to witch power off and then start up.
    I reinstalled "Toshiba Power Saver" but nothing came of it.
    What can i do about it?
    Kind regards,
    Krasteff

    Hi Krasteff
    Your problem is difficult. If I had it, I'd try to make the status of the OS as clean as possible.
    Try killing as many of the funny SYSTRAY applications as possible - means the small icons in the SYSTRAY. Some of them will not be killed that easily. Don't spend hours trying...
    Then also try killing any, as You mentioned, antivirus or other services that are not necessary for the system. Check also that You do not have any USB / PC Card devices attached to the system.
    Then try again.
    Works better? Then "walk backwards" means try attaching the devices / starting the applications one by one and retry Hibernating. Keep track of what You reconnect/restart so You know what You did last when the system fails to start up again. There You have the cause of the problem and then You also know where to look for the solution.
    Hope it helps!
    BR Tom

  • Memory Upgrade on Satellite Pro A10

    Can anyone advise me as to the correct RAM type to upgrade my Satellite Pro A10. Its a standard 256mB at the minute and I'm thinking of slotting in an additional 512mB next to it - but am bemused by the array of memory types and nomenclatures - DDR - SODIMM etc !!!
    Handy with the screw drivers but not so hot with the acronyms. Many thanks to you all out there who know the score!

    Hi
    I understand you very well and sometimes Im also a little bit confused because of the whole notations in the computer world.
    The Sat Pro A10 supports 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules and you can upgrade the memory on this notebook up to 1024MB (2 x 512MB)
    You could check this memory module page:
