Satellite Pro A210 - Doesn't go into standby

I have a Satellite Pro A210 with Windows XP installed.
For the past serveral months i have had the issue where I cannot change the power scheme options. Any changes I made would just go back to default after a certain amount of time. When I recently tried to fix it I noticed people saying to install Toshiba Common Module and Toshiba Power Saver. I have installed both but now my system wont go into stand by mode (when closing the lid on my computer as well as going to start-shutdown-stand by)
The settings seem to be setup correctly in the power save application and i am using the Toshiba Power Saver power scheme. I tried to unistnall Power saver and it still does not allow me to go into stand by. I cannot install Common Module because it does not show up in add/remove programs.
Any Ideas? I am getting tired of having to shut down the pc every time I have to transport it. :)

Hi
Listen buddy. The Common Modules will not appear in add remove programs.
You can install it executing the exe file.
But in my opinion its nothing wrong with power saver or common modules.
In my opinion your Windows OS is muddled up some and somewhere registry keys and other files are corrupt and therefore the power saver does not function as it should.
I assume everything worked properly some days ago. Right?
Maybe an update or an installation of some applications muddled up the OS who knows
You can try to clean the registry and OS using CCleaner. Its free tool.
If this doesnt help then I dont see many solution proposals as to reinstall the OS

  • Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

    Hi All
    My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
    When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
    I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
    Any ideas?

    Hi
    From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
    You can try this workaround:
    Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
    Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Then reboot the unit and test it again
    I think this should help!

  • Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE - Windows 7 - freezes after sleep/hibernate

    I have a Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE running dual boot Windows XP/7
    Using Windows 7 - either 32 or 64 - the system always freezes after sleep/hibernate.
    This never happens with XP which sleeps and hibernates OK..
    There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    I like System 7 and use it on my other computers but without sleep/hibernate I will revert to XP.

    Hi
    > There are no drivers at all for this notebook on the site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    Sorry mate but you are wrong.
    All Win 7 drivers for Satellite Pro A210 are released on the Toshiba European driver page I recommend checking it again
    Since this issue does not appear using Win XP, I can say for sure that this has nothing to do with the hardware but its a software related issue
    I recommend updating the graphic card driver
    Furthermore there is a new BIOS for Sat Pro A210 PSAFHEits v2.0
    Check if you are using the latest version

  • Satellite Pro A210 OS problems

    Early Nov 2014 my Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X started experiencing major malfunctions.
    1. CD/DVD drive stopped working and disappeared from the “Computer” menu.
    2. I checked the Bios and it showed there is “no CD/DVD”. After that, my cmptr froze up, the keyboard would not work, no mouse would work.
    3. I took it to be serviced. They got it running but apparently installed a copy of W XP from Dell because there are 2 folders; DELL; DECCHECK, existing on the C Drive. I purchased and installed an internal CD/DVD drive of the same style and manufacture year as my existing one. It is not recognized by the cmptr either.
    4. To date the Bios still does not show a CD/DVD drive. Currently the cmptr will boot from a USB portable DVD disk, however.  The cmptr does recognize the portable USB DVD drive I purchased after I got it back from the repair shop.
    5. Previously I had purchased a retail version of W 7 Pro. This included 32 and 64 bit disks. My goal was to install the 64 bit version on my Satellite Pro A210 which I believe is possible. However, every time I tried to start the installation a message appeared telling me that “This version of Windows is not compatible with the 32 bit system. Please insert the proper disc.” Or something similar. The cmptr will not allow me to install the 64 bit version.
    6. After several attempts to install the 32 bit W 7 version I got it to install. I could not format the hard disk(as far as I know) but could only “custom install” the 32 bit W 7 version. Even after installing W 7 the Dell folders remain (presume because they are system folders).
    7. Can I install a W 7, 64 bit version on my A210? Do I need to install drivers from Toshiba first (what drivers)? Do I need to reformat the hard disk? How?
    8. HELP!!

    Satellite Pro A210-EZ2203X (PSAFHU-011002)
    Downloads are here.
    The following ODDs will work.
       V000100710 - V000100850 - V000102290 - V000101190 - V000100700 - V000102040 - V000101200
    If your part number is not one of those, google for prices.
    Don't mess with 64-bit Windows! If it would install, it would even run slower.
    You should remove and recreate/format the partition during installation.
    You will need essentially all of the drivers and utilities at the download site above to make that laptop operate as designed. The order of installation matters. Be sure to install the AMD display driver prior to any other driver. It puts the chipset software in place. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utility.

  • Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

    Hello!
    I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
    Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
    things I have tried and they still not help:
    # drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
    # driver settings, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    # pluging the interface to another usb socket.
    # trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
    # updated bios
    # turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
    # checked IRQ list
    pops still appear.
    my config:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1,5GHz
    896Mb ram
    M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
    Kind regards

    Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
    I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
    Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

  • My Satellite Pro C650 doesn't start or charge

    Hi,
    can someone please help me?!
    I just purchased my Toshiba Satellite Pro C650.
    Charged it for 16 hours, set it up and after restarting it went off and now it doesn't turn on of charge at all.

    Hi
    Remove the batter and disconnect the AC adaptor.
    Then wait some hours and connected both parts to the notebook again.
    Then try to power up the unit.
    If this will not help you, then I would recommend asking a notebook technician for an check. If there is no sign of life, then a serious hardware problem might be possible.

  • Satellite Pro C660 doesn't start-up

    Hi,
    Have a satellite Pro C660, which has decided that it no longer wants to start up.
    When the power on button is pressed the green power light comes on and the fan starts to whirr, however the laptop does not seem to go through the POST routine, and just turns itself off.
    I have checked the RAM Modules, and the HDD for poor connections in the hope that the problem is a simple one, but to no avail.
    I have managed to start the laptop previously by holding CTRL+ALT+DEL, when it sprang into life. But this trick now no longer works. I have also tried holding the F12 and/or the F2 keys on start up but the laptop still refuses to start.
    I should mention that this laptop is not very old, less than six months, however if there is a simple fix as an alternative to returning it, I would rather try that first!
    Hope someone has a solution?

    For such issues there is no some kind of magic solution.
    Your problem description is OK but we dont know what have you dont in the past.
    Such problems doesnt happen for no reason and maybe some action that you have done can be responsible for that.
    It sounds like defective BIOS so can you please tell us since when have you this problem and have you maybe tried to update BIOS in the past?

  • Satellite Pro M40X doesn't TURN ON

    Hi.-
    I have a Satellite Pro M40X which I bought 4 years ago. It has been working well until some weeks ago.
    I tried to turn it on but nothing happen, nothing at all, no lights, no sound at all, completely dead.
    It is connected to the AC power and the power light is on, (the light of the battery doesn't work since a lot time ago). I have tried to take off the battery, unplug the power cable and after several hours even days, try to turn it on and I obtained the same behavior.
    Only the power light it is on (the power light when you connect the AC power) but when I push the button "turn on" of the laptop nothing happen.
    My laptop is no more under warranty, so if some one could help to find a solution it would be great!!!
    Thank you

    Thanks for your answers and yes I start to think taht the pb could come from the motherboard but i can give you some other interesting actions I did.
    For example if I turn my laptop upside down sometimes it works but when i put it right it turn off.
    Last year I could repair a heating problem which didn't let me start the computer, I thought it could be the same thing this time but not. Last time it turns on and after some seconds it stopped and turned off. Now as I told you before nothing works.
    Could someone have any idea why when I turn my computer upside down it turns on (sometimes)????
    Thank you

  • Satellite Pro 6000 doesn't boot anymore

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite Pro 6000 that is quite old, but until yesterday it was working fine. Today, it won't start anymore. The indicator LEDs are on (220v:green/power:green/battery:orange) but the BIOS or OS won't start. Fan doesn't work either. The FN key seems to work - if I press it, the indicator below F11 lights up. If I press and hold the power button the power indicator LED goes off.
    I've removed the battery to see if that might help, but it basically gives the save (non)result.
    Is there any way to do a hard reset? Or is it curtains for this laptop?
    Like to hear your thoughts on this one.
    JP

    Hi
    Try to disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the battery a leave the notebook for a while. Wait about 20-30 min, connect all parts again and try to boot up.
    If it will not work I assume the notebook hardware malfunctions Maybe its a motherboard fault (power supply electronic) or CPU.
    Who knows. Without any hardware tests its not easy to find out what device malfunctions

  • Satellite Pro A200 doesn't charge if running

    Hello
    I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 running Vista. I have a problem with the mains adapter and charging.
    It will boot up and operate fine, and when switched off will charge the battery on mains fine. But when switched on, the machine automatically runs off battery, not mains, and does not charge.
    This means that the battery runs down and eventually has to be charged again whilst off.
    When the mains adapter is removed and reinserted, it initially will charge for maybe 30 seconds, then stops charging again and continues to run off battery.
    At the same time, the blue indication light on the front of the machine lights up to indicate that the AC is connected and detected, and on the battery indicater on windows in states 'ac connected, battery not charging' - in other words it the ac works and is detected but the machine isnt using it to run power or charge unless switched off..
    Can anyone offer a solution?
    thanks

    Thats very strange and I presume this issue could be related to the hardware problem.
    Either its a faulty battery or there is something wrong with the power supply electronic on the motherboard.
    In my opinion there is only one way to find out whats wrong some diagnostic test are necessary.
    Such test can be performed only by an ASP technician.
    Therefore its really advisable to contact an ASP in your country for some checks.
    This is a new notebook and the warranty should cover everything!

  • Satellite Pro A210 - How to recover it with misplaced recovery disk`?

    I have been having some problems with my Satellitte Pro A210, (AMD Athlon 64 x2, Vista, 120GB HDD, 2GB RAM), and it seems that I have made recovery discs when new and have misplaced them.
    What can I do?

    What you can do? Good question.
    If you don't have original Toshiba installations disc you have two options either order new one under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or use Microsoft installations disc. All drivers, tools and utilities you can find on Toshiba support and download page.
    By the way: if you got notebook with recovery image saved on HDD you can try to install OS using F8 and Repair my computer option. More about that you can read under

  • MacBook doesn't go into standby mode as it should?

    I recently set the standby delay on my MacBook to 600 (seconds) thinking that would cause it to go into standby/hibernation after 10 minutes of sleep. However, when I open the lid after several hours of sleep, I find that the "lag time" before I can enter my password that I have previously noted and interpreted as a sign of the system coming out of standby is not there. Also, when i use "pmset -g log" to view the power logs, there's no indication that the system goes into standby mode after the set standby delay. Here is an excerpt from the logs:
    4/8/14 1:34:29 AM GMT+02 Sleep

    hibmode=3 standbydelay=600                                               
    rd=336 ms
    Shouldn't there be a log entry somewhere around 1:44:29 (i.e. after 600 seconds of sleep) indicating that the system is going into standby? As can be seen from the log, the battery drops from 88% to 82% during this 8 hour period. As far as I can understand, standby mode is equivalent to Windows "hibernation", where the contents of the RAM is stored on the drive, meaning the computer uses no power during standby. So why isn't standbydelay 600 working as I expect it to?

    Update: Uninstalling Avast didn't seem to help. I've also set "autopoweroffdelay" to 600 and "autopoweroff" to 1, no effect. I closed the lid 7 hours ago, computer was still in sleep mode when I opened the lid (nothing connected to it)
    So far, setting "hibernatemode" to 25 is the only thing that actually puts my computer into standby/hibernation, although it does that straightaway. I've set hibernatemode 3 for AC power and hibernate mode 25 for battery.
    So much for Macs' "just working", the guy who came up with that clearly never owned a Mac... at least not for some time.

  • Toshiba Satellite Radius P55W doesn't go into Tablet mode

    My Toshiba Satellite Radius, that I just purchased and recieved today; when I turn the screen over, to enter "tablet mode" the keyboard  does not deactivate and the screen does not flip to where it is positioned almost like something is wrong with the gyroscope or something. I've looked online but haven't found anyone with a similar problem as mine. I've uninstalled the HID Sensor Collection in device manager and restarted, and then I tried to upgrade it but it says that it is upgraded. I've also upgraded the entire computer. Nothing  seems to be working. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Toshiba P55w-B5318.  I have a similar problem.When the screen is bent around, machine does go into tablet mode and screen rotates to whatever orientation is needed.  I can also 'lock' the screen in that position so that auto-rotate doesn't.That's good ... but often in tablet mode the computer suddenly decides it's in laptop mode *without* any movement of the screen, i.e., still wrapped around.The screen spins around regardless of physical position - and then shows the screen lock in 'laptop mode.'  At the moment, if I wait a few seconds, the screen reverts to tablet mode of whatever orientation was locked. Toshiba:  Whatever you are using to detect 'laptop mode' it's either too sensitive or is prone to problems - like the OP indicates.  Whether it's hw or sw I can't say.  Fix it and post the fix here!

  • Satellite Pro L300D doesn't power down after Windows XP shuts down.

    Hi... Wondering if anyone can help me!
    I have a Satellite ProL300D and it's just over a year old. I've had shut down problems with it pretty much since I got it, but after re-loading XP four or five times I decided to stick with restarting the laptop before shutting it down... But now that uni is finished for the year I thought I'd have a go at sorting it out again.
    It basically shuts down Windows fine, although it does seem to take quite some time, then the screen goes black but the laptop hasn't powered off. The green light is still on, and the screen is still lit. As I said above, if I restart before shutting down, then it shuts down no problem, also if I watch DVDs and don't go online, it will shut down no problem. If it goes into Stand By mode (which it only does on a critical battery, about 3%, as I've set it to 'never' in the power settings, a possible cure read in another forum), then it won't do anything and has to be turned off by holding down the button. It gets stuck in whatever it was doing and won't restart etc. The laptop came with Vista and an XP downgrade.
    Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did you have problem with Vista before downgrading to XP? It can be OS/drivers or hardware issue. I have found something interesting about shutdown an restart troubleshooting. Not sure if it helps you:
