SD-C2612 IDE#1 Error after wrong firmware update - Satellite Pro A10

Hi
I've got a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 which has been flashed with the wrong firmware (i dont know which one as i didnt do it).
I've tried flashing it with the correct firmware (1315) but get the message for the Primary Master and Slave as 'Not ATAPI Device' and 'Drive Not Connected'.
NB: On boot up, even with the DVD ROM removed, I still get the IDE#1 Error.
Would updating the bios to the latest version help or are there any options open to me to resolve this issue other than resorting to the pin 47 & 45 connection? Would this even solve it?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Best regards
Angus

Lol :D I dont wonder that you get the IDE#1 Error message.
As you said by yourself you have flashed the drive with the wrong firmware. This has damaged the drives master/slave/c-sel settings and therefore the BIOS doesnt recognize the CD/DVD drive. But I ask myself why someone flashes the drive with a wrong firmware ?:| It's always known that a wrong firmware can damage the CD/DVD drive... and mostly it's not necessary to update the firmware.
> Would updating the bios to the latest version help
The BISO update will not help you because youve got already right BIOS and its NOT a BIOS issue but the wrong and not compatible firmware is stored.
> or are there any options open to me to resolve this issue other than resorting to the pin 47 & 45 connection? Would this even solve it?
I dont know if this helps but I know that this is not advisable because this can damage the CD/DVD drives hardware
I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country maybe the guys could bring the CD/DVD drive back to life. Lets hope

Wlan error after a firmware update

Ok there seem to be many posts about this issue but i cannot find anything that seems to work for me.
I not to recently updated my N95 8Gb firmware to 20.0.16 and found that I was having errors with WPA on WLan, previously I had no such problem and the issue only occured after the firmware update.
to add some more info I am on a network with a linksys wrt300n
I have tried wep it works but dont want to compromise security.
All computers on the network are using wireless g and the key is definitely correct when entered
any help would be most appreciated

I don't have N95, but if the firmware is updated to latest version the wpa most likely wpa2. Having wpa in place of wep gives only very little added security for a determined hacker! It will only takes 30min to an hour to crack that. Security like that deter only the free net riders. Try if there is upgrade for your modem/router, its usualy the case. For home network wep or wpa sufficed.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Satellite A40-231 won't boot after wrong firmware update

Hi,
i own a toshiba satellite a40-231.it won't boot anymore because i have flashed it's dvd-rw drive(sdr-6112) with the wrong firmware and i also made a big mistake making a non-bootable active dos partition,trying to flash the correct firmware.So, my question is: can i boot from usb flash disk?i believe it's the only option i have left, if not network boot.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
As far as I know its not possible to boot from any other devices as from USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN
You could boot from network but if you want to install the OS via LAN you will need an RIS server. But its not very easy to do it without any additional experience. So I think this option is nothing for you.
It seems the drive is dead or malfunctions and therefore the best idea is to replace the device drive. I know, its hard to hear that but I dont see any other solution

Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
Things I've tried:
# booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
# connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
# I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
# It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
# The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

HT1218 I am now getting a "Device not Found" error after a firmware update for my Airport Express.

I use my Airport Express to stream iTunes to my stereo and it was working fine before the update. After the update it only said "there was a problem upgrading the firmware". I now have NO option to choose speakers in iTunes. Can anyone help me fix the problem? TIA.

I can't explain why but my airport express is now working normally. The only thing I did was to connect it to my router with an ethernet cable (light was green) then disconnect it and move it to the stereo in another room and connect it there. The light was flashing orange after the startup (about 5-10 minutes). When I looked an hour later it was solid green.

IDE #1 Error on Satellite Pro A10

Hi, My Satellite Pro A10 laptop displays IDE #1 Error everytime I attempt to put it on. That message is all I get, although it is displayed for a short time- the laptop always comes back to that message, it attempts to load the screen just go's blanbk and then that message comes up everytime! I was wondering if anyone could explain what this means and how do i fix it?
thank you
david

Hi
This is very strange that this error message appears and you have not changed the drive.
Did you try to 'flash' the drive or to install any firmware or update the BIOS?
I ask it because I can't believe that this error message appears without any reasons.
Like Jack and Silas say, this error appears because of no compatibility of the drive.
The unit was delivered with compatible drive and should works. I assume the BIOS cannot recognize the drive at this time because it's dead.
In my opinion you have to replace the drive. (try to check it it's possibel to install/to boot Toshiba recovery CD)
Ps: Just for info: I have read in the net that sometimes it's possible to flash the drive with any illegal software to change the master/slave settings but this is not advisable. But I have never tried it.
I have also read in the forum that if this error message appears every time and it's not possible to use the drive and the BIOS cannot recognize this device so the connection of pin 45 and 47 could solve this issue sometimes.

HP4501e "print spooler off" error after installing printer update

Motorola Android OS, getting "print spooler off" error after installing printer update... have rebooted both printer and phone to no avail... any help ideas?

Loralee,
?? I am sorry the computer is not working. I don't work for HP and cannot comment on lawsuits or other calamities.
If the notebook worked prior to an update -- and this is an entirely different can of worms and problems -- and you think that there is any chance the notebook is just in some sort of "tangled" state and not completely hosed for some reason, you can try the following non-lethal device reset:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
If you are using a Notebook:
Close all your programs and shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. This type of reset "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the root cause of the problem, this procedure can fix a variety of computer glitches.
This does not fix severe Operating System errors -- it is just a device reset. It can fix minor problems that updates sometimes cause.

I am sorry you are having so much trouble.

Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1# Error on boot up

HI there, i have a Satellite pro A10 and all has been working fine for the last few years until now.
A few days ago i started getting an error reading cd's / dvd's invalid disc format yet the discs work fine on every other pc.
Today i am getting IDE#1 error on boot up... the laptop is still standard from when i got it off the shelf. thinking the drive may have died due to wear and tear i replaced the drive with a working drive and i still get the same error. I have removed the ODD altogether and its still coming up.
I have also updated the bios from usb floppy which was successful. and the best part of all this. the dvd rom that came with the laptop works fine in my other tosh a10!!!!!!
Anyone got any ideas. i don really want to replace the main board if i can help it. this is the only issue with the laptop.
thx in advance people.

Hello James
IDE 1# Error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason for that can be defective drive or usage of non-compatible drives. The fact is that every drive can not be used with every notebook model because of different pin assignment.
In your case it is really strange that drive work on other A10 but not on this one. Because of that I presume there is maybe some problem with connectors. I am afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.
Sorry but we can only speculate what the problem can be but, like you know, only intensive test can give you more answers.
Good luck and pleas let us know if you will find out what the problem is.

After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit then plug it back in? (bascially reboot it)

After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit wait a bit and plug it back in? (basically a reboot)

I updated the firmware on the 2nd of this month. Everything was fine. About a week later internet speed began to be slow. I rebooted the modem and the speed was okay for awhile, then slow again. I'm wondering if it's the airport express. It didn't tell me to reboot at the end of the installation.

Incompatible after the firmware update

I had missing the dictionary (including the icon on the screen) and chinese language currently stored in my nokia 6680 after the firmware update. what is the problems?

Yes I m using one of the default themes.
I have even done the re-installation of the same firmware version again, it did not work.
Each time I flash the firmware, installed applications become unworkable although the icons still remained in the menu. IT is always a great hassle to have to re-install all applications over again.
tsk.

Bluetooth doesn't work after E90 firmware update!

Nokia staff - help needed!
Bluetooth has stopped working after E90 firmware update.
The following on-screen message is shown: "Unable to perform Bluetooth operation!"
P.S. Reinstalling firmware via Nokia software update doesn't help at all. If connectivity problem still can be solved with USB cable, the worst tning is that I can't use my phone's BT handsfree when driving.

Hi hanzzi
No information as to what device you are using, but try deleting E:\CITIES + .qf file from memory card then restart OVI Maps application to re-define folder structure required to download regional mapping using OVI Suite.

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

Satellite Pro A10: Extraction failure error occurs while recovering procedure

Im trying to run the recovery discs on my Satellite Pro A10 but after 20 second of trying to install recovery disc 1 screen gose black and message in corner says extraction failure.
Can you help me please?

Did you try to format and to delete whole partitions on the HDD before performing the installation from the recovery CD???
Something similar happened to me. I was not able to install the OS from the Recovery CD.
I have simply used the original Windows CD and have formatted the whole HDD.
After this procedure the Recovery CD installation has worked.

Tecra A2: IDE #1 error after firmware update

I have a tecra a-2 notebook after installing a new firmware to toshiba dvd rom sd-r2512 combo i get this message during boot and the drive is unaccesible .What should i do?
(i've searched about , some guys solved it by changing the pins i am newbie i am not sure what is a pin is there any other simple solution for this)

Hi
Where did you find the firmware?
I assume you have used not compatible or not supported firmware and this software has either changed the master/slave/csel settings or possibly has damage the drive.
This ide #1 error appears if the BIOS cannot find the drive.
This happens because of the wrong settings or corrupt drive.
Unfortunately, I dont see any chances to solve this problem. It seems you have damage the drive ;(
