Tecra A11-11H - error: RTC power failure

Hi
Got a problem with my toshiba laptop, A11-11H. Upon start up, when it was unplugged (no battery) it will prompt "RTC POWER FAILURE" press F2. It reverts BIOS settings to the date it was manufactured 13/05/2011. Once I input the correct settings and restart it will work fine.
I think its the BIOS battery gone (6 months?).
So the question is where is the CMOS battery located?
I pull out the motherboard but cant honestly see it. Does it have any?
Also would anyone know the part no for CMOS battery? I would really appreciate some help guys.
Let me know, Dan
Btw, I got this laptop upgraded to 8GB RAM and 750GB HDD.

Hi
I kept it turned on for the best part of 27 hours. It didn't help unfortunately. This is slowly making me believe that someone must have removed the original battery or it is completely depleted without the possibility to recharge. Would anyone be able to help me locate the CMOS battery on this laptop?
I can take some pictures of this motherboard, perhaps you will be able to notice the battery.
Also I managed to update the BIOS software (bootable DOS memory stick). Still cant choose what to boot from from within the BIOS (I see the devices but cant choose any of them as the choices are not highlighted).

  • Tecra A11-11H - Drivers for Windows XP 64bit

    Hi,
    does anyone know where can I find the driver for the wireless card of Tecra A11-11H using Windows XP 64bit, does anyone have a full list of the hardware models Tecra A11-11H using as toshiba support website doesnt have driver for Windows XP 64bit.
    Many thanks

    Hi buddy,
    Windows XP 64bit is not supported by Toshiba so there are no drivers for this OS. The 64bit version of XP was not very popular so probably you will not find all drivers on external pages. If you want XP I would recommend the 32bit version or Windows 7 Professional that has a virtualization mode for XP.
    Tecra A11-11H has Intel WLAN card so check the Intel page directly. Maybe you can find a driver: [www.intel.com]
    Furthermore if you install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest or PC Wizard 2011 you can check the installed hardware and so you can search for drivers yourself.
    But as I already wrote: Choose another OS ;)

  • Tecra A11-11H can't connect by wireless when in Linux

    All attempts to get wireless working in Fedora 14 have failed. lspci gives me no useful information about wireless. The only thing I can see about networking is
    02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (rev 35)
    Is there any documentation about the driver required and how to configure the interface?

    For the sake of anyone else with this problem - it is supported by the broadcom-wl driver. I now have a working connection.

  • I am using Windows 8.1 i have an External Hard Disk and one drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure few days ago. Now it shows "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)". I want all my important files and Pics. How ?

    Hi,
    I am using Windows 8.1
    I have an External Hard Disk i have partitioned it to 4 parts.
    One drive is now inaccessible due to sudden power failure while listening Music from that drive few days ago.
    Now it shows "Data error (Cyclic redundancy check)".
    I tried all the procedures provided here like
    chkdsk /f, diskpart, rescan etc
    but no result :( (i mean all processes failed. They could not detect the drive).
    Please help me to get those data, pictures and project files.
    thank you

  • Vista got corrupt after power failure. sfc reports error and Event log service is unable to start itself.

    Hi,
    After a sudden power failure, I guess vista file system is corrupt.   I am able to start vista in normal mode, but it seems there are errors like Event Log service unable to start itself,  when I start IE, it closes automatically , 
    Norton antivirus does not start itself.  and so on.
    After Bing search, I went to safe mode and executed sfc /scannow and it reported error as below.
    "Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them"
    Unfortunately I am unable to upload log file, so I am pasting CBS.log content here....   Please advice.
    Some parts of logs are removed due to limit of 60000 characters.
    Please advice.

  • Toshiba tecra a11-17c refusing to boot from LAN

    Hello
    I am working on a Toshiba tecra a11-17c. We currently have about 18 of the same laptop and the person who originally built the computers has left the office we are currently working at.
    The issue I am have is that I  want to boot the computer from lan and do a windows 7 installation on the laptop but I keep getting the error "Media test failure, check cable"
    I know the cable is working because I was able to build a Toshiba satellite pro l20 perfectly fine
    The other Toshiba tecra a11-17c laptops have the same issue when trying to rebuild them too
    I am fully able to log into a Toshiba tecra a11-17c and connect to the internet via the same network cable and port when in windows.
    I have also tried to swap the hard drive with a different tecra a11-17c but it just kept getting a blue screen as soon as the windows flag appeared.
    I then tried a format of the hard drive and a reset to default of the bios settings as suggested in a different forum.
    I then tried to clone a fully working hard drive from a different fully working tecra a11-17c and it just dose the blue screen as stated above.
    I then used an old windows XP recovery disk for the tecra a11-17c it did the build fine no issues then when it came to build to windows but as stated above it just dose a blue screen the same as windows 7.
    Now I have no idea what to do but to believe it is something Toshiba has done with the tecra a11-17c range because its the same issue for all 18 of the tecra a11-17c laptops I have here.
    Any way I am at a loss and have no idea what to do it seems to be something as simple as the network card need to be turned on during the boot phase but I can not find anything in the bios.

    I'm sorry but I have no experience doing what your attempting to do.  However, for your information, this site is for U.S. models only and I would suggest you also post in the appropriate regional Toshiba Support forum to get better suggestions.  Good luck

    I would like to do a processor upgrade for my Tecra A11 11N from the i5-430M to a probably much faster i5.I thought the i5-580M would do, but the laptop did not boot when i installed this processor.
    I reverted back to the 430M, did some research on the internet and found out that the 580M has a very high FSB speed and that is what probably made it not to work/incompatible with my machine.
    http://ark.intel.com/products/43537/
    http://ark.intel.com/products/49653
    http://ark.intel.com/products/49652
    and also at http://ark.intel.com/
    Now i went back to the computer shop,returned the 580M and got an i5-560M as i compared it's specs and saw it would be compatible as it has the same FSB speed with the 430M.
    I then later on in the day tried to install this cpu as an upgrade BUT alas!
    It STILL WON'T BOOT ALSO.
    I was left dumfounded.Processors in the same familly line are supposed to be compatible with one another provided:Lithography, FSB and socket type are similar.
    Or what am i missing here?
    I have done processor upgrades in many instances for both desktops and laptops and this is the first one that has left me with no words to say!
    please offer some help/advice.

    I solved this processor upgrade problem on my own.
    I did some little research on what limits processor upgradability on computers and i
    found out that BIOS was one of the factors that play a key part.
    So,i went on a mission
    to see if i could upgrade my BIOS and whether it would solve my problem.
    I found this link to be very informative:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66624
    I then downloaded the latest BIOS version for my laptop from this link:
    http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp
    The following link gave me proof that the BIOS update would not bring any problems to my
    machine and that there is already someone who had done it and not encountered any problems.
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=62459
    Just to make sure that you are on the safe side,before carrying out the procedure to update
    your BIOS,make sure you have a fully charged battery in addition to the AC plugged in.A power
    outtage during this procedure would instantly kill your machine.
    The BIOS installation took less than 3 mins.I copied the executable on the desktop and run it
    from there.
    On rebooting,the new BIOS was installed.The new BIOS version was 3.40 dated on 05/18/2012 while
    the older one was version 2.0 dated on 04/03/2010.
    From Intel's website,the i5-430M was released on Q1 2010 while the i5-560M and i5-580M were
    released on Q3 2010.
    It is pretty obvious that by the time BIOS version 2.0 was release,these two newer processors
    had not been released and that explains why they were not being recognized when i installed them.
    I finally swapped the 430M with the 560M,assembled back the machine and powered it.
    Voil!,the machine booted to it's new life.Everything is as was before!
    So far i have not seen any problems even to do with overheating or the cooling fan spinning any
    faster that before.It is all the same as before.There is considerable performance gain with the
    uprade.I am a software developer and my various development enviroments including compilers,
    debuggers,database and deployment servers have all been running way way faster than they were!
    I believe the 580M can also work but unfortunately i had returned it back to the shop.
    There is no reason for buying new machines when we can upgrade the ones we have.What will
    happen to the older ones?This means more electronic waste and so does new machines.Let us try
    to make better use of the ones we have a in turn,SAVE OUR ONLY PLANET EARTH FROM GLOBAL WARMING!

  • Unable to Load Windows 7 after a power failure

    My windows 7 workstation was in a sleep mode when a power failure happened. after trying to power up the machine it tries to resume windows session but stucks after displaying an error unable to find saved session. it gives an option to either delete saved
    session and boot or locate the session, but none of the periferal devices are responding, so I am unable to select either option.
    I have a standard 102 logitech keyboard connected to that workstation. it works wen I select to enter a bios on the start up, but does not respond to any other prompts.
    Any advice?

    In addition, try to boot into safe mode and check the results.

  • This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure for Intel (R) Audio Display

    Hi I just bought HP Envy M7 Sleekbook last week and upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 for Windows 8.
    Now I have no sound and this is the error message I get:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10) Status Device Power Failure  (for  Intel (R) Audio Display)
    under Sound, Vieo and Game Controllers in the Device Manager.
    Anyone else having this issue after upgrading? 
    Getting a new lappy is stressful enough but to alreay have issues is ridiculous
    If the upgrade is not the issue could something have happened in transit? (I have an issue with the way Best Buy packed it for shipment and wonder if it could have been compromised)
    Any help is appreciated. Or should Ibe taing this back to best buy and have them address it?
    Thanks
    Pam

    Ahmed, if your HP Envy has an Intel processor chances are it will be necessary to download new drivers for both sound and chipset due to compatibility issues with Windows 8.1. After 4-1/2 hours on the phone with various technical agents and a lot of frustration I finally got one who had the knowledge and training to resolve my issue. I believe he downloaded the new drivers from the HP support site. Good luck!!

  • After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open????

    After a power failure while iPhoto was running, I get the message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"  and iPhoto will not open???? held down the option and the command and tried to run what was ticked off and it just sits there with a spinning wheel and does nothing, can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?

    , can I throw the app away and download a new one? or will it still not open?
    You could, but the error message is indicating that your iPhoto library needs repairing.
    Check, if iPhoto will run, if you launch it on a new library. Hold down the alt/option key, while you launch iPhoto. Select to create a new library from the panel that will show. Can you create a new library? If yes, try again to fix the library. Which options have you tried from the Library First Aid panel, when you launched iPhoto with the option and command key held down?
    If you have not tried "Rebuild"; do that next. But be sure to make a backup of your iPhoto library, before you try this.

  • HP PSC2500 All-In-One noise after Power Failure

    Product: HP PSC2510 All In One
    OS:  Windows XP Home
    No Error Messages
    No Changes made to OS or Printer
    The issue:
    After a Power Failure, upon starting the printer up, the scanner bar attempts to locate the Home Position but once it gets to the area it is supposed to set at, it continues to move to the right and makes a repeating (gear) noise.
    The only fixes I have come across are:
    1) Opening the scanner bed (glass top) and cleaning the glass where the white strip runs along the glass.
    This stops the noise and allows the scanner to reset corretly for 1 to 3 months.
    2) Holding the Cancel button or OK + Cancel.
    This allowed the printer to reset correctly 1 time.
    Now, the Hard Reset and Semi Reset will not work.
    Again, this issue ONLY happens after a power failure or if the plug is pulled...
    The issue does not happen if the power is shut off correctly.
    I am sure that Opening the top and cleaning the glass will work but this is a serious headache for a printer that cost over $225.
    I am a Computer Repair Technician but Printer issues of this nature are not in my area of expertise
    Is there anyone who can tell me the possible cause and/or Permanent fix for this issue?
    I cannot find any other information about this issue online, and I cannot find a Service Manual.
    Please help because this is my work printer.
    Please email me at:
    {Personal Information Removed}

    UPDATE: As it stands, I opened the scanner bed and cleaned the glass Home Position strip (for the 6th time now) and low-and-behold, the printer functions properly again.
    I know this issue will happen again in a few weeks to a month or so...
    My question still stands...
    Can ANYONE come up with a permanent solution to repair this issue?
    Thanks again in advance.

  • Power failure then iPhoto library= POOF! :-(    PLEASE HELP!

    Power failure then iPhoto> library= POOF!
    We had a power failure and of course iPhoto was open when my computer was improperly shut down. After powering up, I did the following; repaired permissions and ran disk utility (no problems found).
    Upon opening iPhoto (6.03) I got the rebuild thumbnails message, and I said cancel (I was going to do it later), then IPhoto opened and it was BLANK! all 5000+ images were GONE! I am assuming the library got corrupted somehow on either the bad crash, or the canceling of the rebuild option.
    Now, I am a bit neurotic about my pics, so I choose to make my own finder folders of pic when I take them off the camera, and then import into iPhoto that way. So the good news is I still have all my original pictures in folders in the finder.
    From reading various threads here, and Googleing + Macfixit, etc etc. This is what I have done to try to recover my library. (not necessarily in this order)
    [list]
    [*]Trash/recreate the iPhoto plist preferences
    [*]Clear caches using Cocktail software
    [*]Repaired permissions (in Disk utility), and then repair iPhoto library folder permissions usuing instructions found here using Batchmod software
    [*]Rebuild the iPhoto library (option, command) and selecting the 3 proper checkboxes.
    [*]Ran iPhoto Library Manager software to rebuild the database with no success. I get the error message "This Library cannot be rebuilt because its XML file contains no data".
    [*]Updated to iPhoto 6.04/repaired permissions and disk utility.
    [/list]
    Each time iPhoto loads completely blank and void of my photos!
    My assumption is the XML file is corrupt since I am getting that message in iPhoto Library Manager.
    So what to do? And hear are my questions /issues.
    I would certainly like to preserve my 4 years of customization of keywords, titles , folders, smart folders, etc. (which I assume is held in the now corrupt XML file?).
    What is the best way to recover my customization and most importantly the images!
    I realize I can just re-import all my images from my original finder image folders that I have, but I assume this method will not recover my keywords ,etc?
    Is there a way to recover my customization?
    I do have a fairly recent backup of my iPhoto folder on a backup drive ( I think!) It does not have all my newer pics in it, but as I mentioned I do still have all my .jpgs, just not in iPhoto!
    Thanks in advance for reading and any help offered!
    PBG4 1.33 2gig   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   120 gig hd

    I got all my pictures AND everything else back, folders, ratings, keywords etc
    Fortunately I had a backup of the entire iPhoto library folder, it was about 3 months old (I know shame on me) so I didn't want to just use the entire backup folder and lose 3 months of photos.
    So I just copied the AlbumData.xml file and the Library6.iPhoto file. PRESTO all my pictures were back WITH all the folders,keywords etc, etc intact!! (up till the 3 month old backup point).
    Then I just re-imported the missing 3 months worth of pictures from the original folder in the iphoto library folder. So all I had to recreate was 3 months worth of customization. WHEW!!
    Reading through the discussions it seems there is a fair number of users where iPhoto would go empty, but they knew the images were still on the computer. I am not a programmer, but it seems silly to me the their are files that get re-written everytime iPhoto closes....computers crash. and then what happens to the files? Mine got corrupted, lesson learned BACKUP more frequently!!
    Thanks to Old Toad who steered me to the Library6.iPhoto as a possible troublemaker in another thread!

  • Database startup issue after power failure

    Hello, I am hoping someone might have some ideas for me on this issue. We had a power failure over the weekend and I was not alerted in time to shut down my DB server gracefully. I am running a 10g (10.2.0.4.0) standard database on RHEL 5. When power was restored I booted the server and noticed the database did not start (I have a startup script in init.d), I tried running dbstart manually and that did not work either. Below is the entries in my startup.log file and sqlnet.log file, I cannot figure out what is causing the 12514 error, as everything was working fine before the power failure. Interestingly though I am able to start the DB by running dbca and making a minor config change that requires a restart, dbca is somehow able to start the DB. Any ideas would be greatly apprieciated. Thanks!

    Why do you suggest starting the db before the listener?
    I always start db first then after listener.
    Well, there's a good strong justification ....
    because if you start listener then that time there is no db services to register, and lsnrctl services will show (no services ....) msg. Ok, so I have this startup script. One line starts the listener, the very next line starts the database. So in the few seconds between the listener starting and the database starting and fully opening, I am exposed to the possibility that someone might try to connect and get "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". That's opposed to the error they would have gotten a couple of seconds earlier, that would have said .... "ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
    Or I use your startup script. One line starts the database, the next line starts the listener. A full minute later the instance gets itself registered with the listener. So in the time between starting the listener and the database making as second - this time successful - attempt to register with the listener, I am exposed to the risk of someone making a connection attempt and getting "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor". And again, this is as opposed to if they had been just a few seconds earlier and gotten ""ORA-12541: TNS:no listener"
    or else if you want to start listener first then edit the listener.ora file and add the sid (few lines) then user will not receive the above mention error.In which case I start the listener first, it now knows about the instance without the instance self registering ... but it still has to wait for the instance to come up before it can service a connection request. How is that any different from NOT listing the SID_LIST, starting the listener, then starting the database and allowing the database to self-register? You are not eliminating anything from the user's end .. simply changing the error message they would get.

  • Cannot Start EPM Architect Process Manager after a Power Failure

    Hey All,
    We had a power failure in the office last night/this morning. We have two environments, and luckily, our production environment seems to be working OK, however, on our development environment, we cannot get the EPM Architect Process Manager to start (or any of the associated services).
    Here is what we have tried already:
    - Restarting the server
    - Restarting all services in the correct order
    - Running EPM System Configurator for Performance Management Architect > Configure Database (the first time, we just re-used the same tables, and had the same error. We did it a second time and dropped the tables and were able to get the service (and all other EPMA services) to start, but we couldn't get into the Application or Dimension Library.
    - Restoring the EPMA DB schema from backup from two nights ago - same error when trying to restart the service.
    We are running 11.1.1.3 (04 patches for Planning and CalcManager, but not EPMA). We are running MS SQL 2005 for the relational databases.
    Error message when restarting the service:
    "The Hyperion EPM Architect - Process Manager service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically..."
    When we go to the event viewer, it tells us:
    Service cannot be started. Hyperion.DimensionServer.ProcessManager.Interface.ProcessManagerException: Dimension Server started but failed to initialize on machine CSHMISHYPTST. Check the error log on that machine.

    The issue seems to be related to the amavis content filter due to the connection to port number 10024 and amavisd being configured on that port. Amavis.log:

    The workaround is to reboot the machine, after the second boot the inbound smtp mail delivery is no longer stuck.

    Use connection pooling. This will put the connection management in the hands of the webserver, not your code. Check out this post:
