Toshiba equium A210 laptop drivers issue

hi sorry if this is in the wrong place but new here and didn't know where to post it i have the laptop specified above which according to this website doesnt exist on the drivers and support page
i have had to wipe the computer after acquiring it from my brothers girlfriend because if you could download it she did and it was running slower than british rail
now i find that i cannot connect to the internet and have no audio or anything because understandably all the drivers are missing
where can i find the drivers for the chipset and LAN and audio please
thankyou for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future

Since that appears to be a U.K. Model, your downloads and other support should be HERE at Toshiba-UK. This is the site for US. Models only.

Try a system reset. Power off your unit, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, power on, at the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows and test your sound.
If this doesn't work give us your current operating system version, like Windows XP 32bit.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Equium A210-1C4: Winload.exe problem after using product recovery disk

Hi There
I Could really do with some help here. I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 Laptop. Partitioned drive with Vista home premium service pack 4.0.
Last night I used the product recovery disk supllied with the laptop to try and restore it back to its factory settings.
and the end of the process I'm left with a cmd prompt box with X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
Error: imageX could not apply vista F:\05993xsp.swm Index 2 from ODD to C:\!
Press any key to continue. That box dissappears then another one with Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe in the blue top bit stating:
waiting for ODD to become available...
ODD Drive F: ready.
check for medium in drive F:...
Failed to initialise the raid class.
No RAID - continue normally...
X:\windows\system32>
Now whenever the laptop tries to restart it just comes up with the error message:
WINDOWS FAILED TO START. A RECENT HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE CHANGE MIGHT BE THE
CAUSE
FILE: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE
STATUS: 0XC000000E
INFO: THE SELECTED ENTRY COULD NOT BE LOADED BECAUSE THE APPLICATION
IS MISSING OR CORRUPT
Below I then have the option to esc or continue both with the same outcome of system trying to restart.
The recovery disk has no repair option on it.
please help, I haven't a clue.
thanks

Hi
It looks like something went wrong during the Recovery procedure.
Did you try to recover the notebook once again?
If not you should definitely try this!
You are right; the recovery disk hasnt a option for repair because the recovery disk is not the same like a MS Vista disk. The Recovery disk contains the image files (its a package) and the files contains the Vista, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
Therefore if something went wring during the recovery procedure, you will be not able to repair the OS installation but you have to run it again.

Equium A210-1C4 freezes frequently during Windows 7 startup

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 laptop and upgraded it to Windows 7 a while ago. I have a problem whereby frequently the OS freezes up whilst starting. This occurs frequently and happens after the 'Starting Windows' text appears but before the windows logo appears. When this happens I have to press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reset the system and bring it back to life, Windows 7 starts normally after this.
I have tried reinstalling Windows 7 and it still doesn't work. I am using the 32bit version if that makes any difference. I have installed all the Toshiba drivers using the [Toshiba Software Installer|http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=2475695&pf=true] and the problem still continues.
Thanks in advance,
Caleb

Hi
Would recommend checking the HDD firstly.
There is a nice tool called Drive Fitness Test which could be downloaded from some 3rd party pages.
The tool is freeware and helps you to run some HDD diagnostic tests.
If the HDD would be ok, then the next step should be the RAM check.
The tools like memtest86+ could be used in order to test the memory.
But even if no errors would be detected, the RAM might be still affected I recommend testing the notebook with new RAMs
By the way: check if BIOS is up to date!

Equium A210 - CMOS battery replacement possible?

My Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 appears to be having a CMOS battery problem in that it does not keep the BIOS settings.
I have bought a replacement main power battery and a/c adapter to rule out a/c power issues but the POST beaps and CMOS keeps coming up a Checksum error and once in the BIOS and save settings it boots successfully but if the laptop restarts or is switched off it does it all over again. I have also updated the BIOS successfully so it is not the BIOS chip. The only thing I can think of is replacing the CMOS battery - can this be done?
I have read that some are soldered on? Would Toshiba service this laptop to replace the CMOS battery / check for faults - if so, how much would it cost, or can someone else do it as the laptop is out of warranty.
Any advice please?

Hi Emases2010,
As far as I know some batteries are fixed/soldered on mainboard and cant replace but I think only a notebook technician can give you a detailed answer.
Normally you can charge the CMOS battery if you leave the AC/DC adaptor connected over night or in best case 24 hours. After this the battery should be fully charged.
Check this!!!

Equium A60 Laptop crashes/blue screen when LAN Cable is in?

Hi all,
I have a Toshiba Equium A60 Laptop now for under a year.
I am running WinXp Sp2
Yesterday, my laptop started to crash flashing a blue screen (No time to see what it says as computer Restarts too quickly).
I found that it only seems to crash when the LAN Cable is plugged ine.g. If I start the Laptop it will start-up as usual but when it starts to communicate with the network/router (as I can see by watching the little blue Screens in the Task Bar Bottom right) it Crashes. Ive tried a different port on the router but no luck.
My Network card is: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
It runs ok in Safe mode and doesnt crash.
I updated the Driver but and it still does the same.
I then decided to restore my Laptop back to Day One/Factory Default via the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
When restored it worked fine all day (had internet access via the network) until I clicked: Set up a home or small office network in the control panel. It crashed again the same way. Now it will continually crash as above.
Could this be a problem with my cable?
Please help..Any ideas?
Thanks loads,
Shay

Hi Shay,
The blue screen of death (BSoD) can be a particularly annoying problem because it can be very tricky to trace the source of the crashes.
Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death for some more information on it.
Common causes are ...
- faulty hardware (could be the network card, or ram, or hard drive)
- bad device drivers
- overheating
- corrupted software/operating system
As you said that you've used the recovery DVD and the problem still persists, this says to me that it is a hardware issue (as long as image loaded on with no errors and DVD is in good condition).
Easy things you could try are ...
- changing the network cable (unlikely the problem but always worth a try)
- checking the network card port for debris/damage
- reseat the ram/hard drive
- load on an operating system from scratch, if you have it (not using recovery DVD)
If none of these work and the laptop is under warranty, get the motherboard/network card replaced.
If not under warranty, try the debugging tool for Windows ... http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
Good luck!

Re: Equium A210-1C4 - ATI CCC doesn't open on Vista

Recently I have been unable to open the ATI Catalyst Control Centre on my Toshiba Equium A210-1C4 notebook. When I click the CCC icon on the start menu the tray icon opens but when I right click it and choose Catalyst Control Centre nothing happens but the tray icon is still there.
I was having a similar problem a while ago but instead of doing nothing the splash screen appeared and then Vista displayed the message 'ATI CCC has stopped working'.
Any ideas?

Hey,
If Catalyst Control Center wont open it could be something wrong with display driver I would recommend reinstalling the display driver from official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Just search for your notebook model and download the newest version. Before you install it, remove the old one firstly and restart your notebook. Then install the downloaded version.
Does this work for you?

Equium A210-1AS - After BIOS update it becomes hot

Hey, wondering if anyone can help here ...
Currently have a Toshiba Equium A210-1AS with BIOS version 1.80 ver 1.00PARTTBL 4/8/2008.
Since the BIOS was updated some time ago to this version 1.80 the computer has become hot very quickly and therefore performance of the laptop has decreased.
I looked on the Toshiba support site and the only version upgrade to 2.00 was not compatible with this notebook.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. The short model number is PSAFJE
Thankyou

Hi
I have checked the Toshiba website and I didnt see any BIOS update for the Equium A210 PSAFJE. That means a BIOS update was never released for this notebook normally.
For me it sounds like that you have updated the BIOS with a version for another Equium A210. So you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can install the right BIOS version for you (downgrade).

Equium A210 - inconsistent Wi-Fi network

I have an Equium A210 laptop (Vista) networked with a PC and a Netgear router.
Quite often I cannot access my network from the laptop, although I have no problem accessing from my mobile in the same location as the laptop.
The problem would appear to be with the laptop.
Please help

Hi
Have you disabled the WLAN power saving feature in Windows Power Management? You should set it to maximum performance. For this option check also this useful document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm
Otherwise try also updating the WLAN driver and BIOS. Both can be downloaded on the Toshiba European driver download page.
Last but not least I would also recommend updating the firmware of your router.

Equium A210 -171 - how do I re-install Vista

Hi,
I was updating the O/S (Vista 32Bit) on-line from Microsoft when the laptop (Equium A210 -171) shutdown.
It may have reached the overheating limit and this is the reason that it shutdown (me guessing).
I let the computer cool down and when I tried to boot from the instructions as per
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1845345& rpn=PSL48U&modelFilter=L45-S7423&selCategory=3&selFamily=107376866
the computer seems to lock up.
When I get to boot in Safemode the computer seems to lock up on \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys or some other system file.
The action of pressing 0 and then turning on the computer with the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive also results in a lock up of the system resulting in a black screen only. Pressing C at startup also produces the same effect.
As a test I put a Linux Ubuntu CD-ROM into the drive to see if I could run another O/S on a different HD.
This action was successful. But my children need Windows for the games that they play.
So, my question is ... how do I re-install Vista. The factory re-install setup seems to be not functioning.
Many thanks,
Tommy.

> As a test I put a Linux Ubuntu CD-ROM into the drive to see if I could run another O/S on a different HD.
I mean you have installed a Linux on different partition and not HDD. Right.
Well, this means that HDD is OK and the notebook should run with Windows as well.
> The action of pressing 0 and then turning on the computer with the Product Recovery CD-ROM in the drive also results in a lock up of the system resulting in a black screen only. Pressing C at startup also produces the same effect.
First of all I recommend start the BIOS and to set booting from CD/DVD drive at the beginning.
Then save the changes and reboot the unit.
While pressing the power button, press F12.
This allows you to get the boot menu on the screen.
Insert the Windows installation disk (or Toshiba recovery disk) and choose ODD (CD/DVD drive)
Then notebook should start to boot from CD/DVD drive.
Note; if you are using Windows CD (not recovery disk) then you should change an option in BIOS.
Set the SATA mode to compatible and save the changes.

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Equium L20-197 - memory issue

I have memory issue with L20 computer pc-world and currys are selling the L20 with following spec 256mb main memory and 128mb video memory(not up to 128) when that is not the case first of all the memory is shared and it takes 64mb out of main memory and when you try to up video memory in bios it will not let you up it to 128 unless you install another stick of main memory has anybody else noticed this problem? i know the previous L10 model with the intel video chipset was supposed to allocate video memory dependant on load but there is no mention of this on the ati chipset model. any ideas!!!

This information is for anybody with Memory issues
Concerning a TOSHIBA EQUIUM L20-197 Laptop, purchased from PC World or Groups (PC World/Currys/Dixons)
I purchased this laptop for Christmas for my daughter,
The sales man assured me at the time that he would recommend buying Norton internet security suite, because it was half the price when you buy any PC or Laptop.
What he did not tell me is, when you load the Norton software, the operating system is so slow it is just about unusable!
This problem is down to memory issues, the motherboard should have 256MB, but the operating system only gets 192MB due to the Graphics card steeling 64MB.
The answer to this problem is firstly the Graphics card should be set to 128MB in the Bios setting; this is not possible with the memory only being 256MB on the motherboard.
Secondly, the minimum requirements for Norton internet Security and Windows XP is 256MB not 192MB.
Being an Engineer myself and pointing out this to the Manager at PC World, he allowed me to purchase the memory locally and refunded the difference due to the price.
I purchased 512MB DDR2 533PC-320 for 27.48 the Toshiba now works like a dream.
One last point I do not recommend any body to install Norton Go back on your Laptop that comes with Norton internet Security, when you have Windows XP it just takes up too much space on your hard drive and you have System Restore anyway.

Toshiba M35X S109, having great issues with installing software - PLEASE help.

I have a Toshiba M35x S109 and lost my harddrive. I installed a new one and tried to reinstall software from the Toshiba Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. When I first tried this it came up to the first page that said to press F1 for ok or F2 to cancel. I pressed F1. Then it went to the warning page telling me that all the data on harddrive would be lost if I continued. Press A to abort or C to continue. I pressed C. It took me back to the first page again. This happened over and over.
I called tech support and they told me I had a bad disc and could either get a new one or install from a full version of Windows. I tried that as I have a full version of Windows 98 and an Upgrade version of Windows XP Home Edition. I got the Windows 98 on and get to the desktop but can not seem to get the keyboard to work. Mouse works, but keyboard does not work at all. Reinstalled Win 98 as instructed by Tech Support and it worked. Then we hung up and I did as they instructed and tried installing the upgrade to Win XP home ed, but when I needed to input the product key - again the keyboard does not work. URGH.
I called tech support back again and was told the previous tech support gave me bad info. This guy said I needed to install from the Toshiba restore disc and left me with a million instructions that I did not understand on how to erase the harddrive of the Win 98 and then start over with the Toshiba restore disc.
I am so frustrated and confused and really need some good advice and help. I have the 98 installed but the keyboard is not working. The pc initially had the Win XP on it. I will likely upgrade to the Win 7 if I get this going but can't get past this issue. What should I do?????
Do I need to erase WIN 98 and start again from the Toshiba Restore Disc?
If so, why would the Restore disc not work when I initially put it in and try? This problem continues to reoccur with the old and new Toshiba Restore Disks. What else could be causing this?
Can I go from Win 98 and fix the driver issue or what ever it is and move on with the rest? How do I fix the problem with the keyboard?
ANY AND ALL HELP is very much appreciated! Thank you.
AJJMH
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did the flash complete, or shut off prior to finishing? If the former there is a chance, but if the latter there is little that you can do at home to fix this (as in, if you need to ask you have neither the equipment or the skill set to fix it yourself).
Do you have the Intel or the ATI graphics on your laptop?
What bios revision was on the laptop originally? If you don't know that then why were you trying to update the bios as you wouldn't know what revision to install? Plus, it would have come with at least rev. 1.0 installed already so why would you want to install that again? Trying to install an older revision over a newer one won't work without some specific flags added to the command.
Did you flash from a startup disk or from Windows?
Can you get into the bios settings by pressing the F2 key (or whatever key that model requires)?
Have you tried a reset of the system by doing the following. Unplug the AC adapter, remove the battery, then press and hold the power button down for a minimum of 30 seconds. Now replace the battery and AC and see if you can now access the BIOS when it starts to power up.
Are you sure that the new hard drive is properly installed AND working correctly? Did it work prior to what appears to be a failed bios flash?
I'll try to help, but I'm afraid this might be a bad flash which will require sending (or taking) it to a qualified repair shop/technician who has the special equipment and skillset to reflash the bios using an Eprom burner and that will run you about $100 or so the last time I checked.
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.

Re: Downgrading Equium A210-1AS from Vista to WIN XP

I have a fully functioning desktop and a barely working Equium A210-1AS I have Avanquest Fix-It 10 working well on the desktop. I installed Fix-It 10 on the Equium and after a day or so the computer crashed. It would boot and after endless restore operations and uninstalling a not-needed program and Fix-It 10 the computer is sort of working with a peculiar message. I was too mean to pay an extra 30 for a recovery disk for the Equius which has Vista Home OS. Now it so happens that I have a genuine OEM CD of WIN XP in my possesion. I bought it and used it on a desktop that I eventually took to the Council rubbish dump when it stopped working.
Can I create a CD with all the XP drivers downloaded from the Internet then just boot up with the WIN XP disk then insert the drivers CD?
I believe I could activate WIN XP by telephone and explanation. Would this work and what would the difficulties be? I do not need to save any data.
BTW I like XP and dont like Vista!
Thanks for any help,

I have another problem. When I use the other link supplied by Jeka-IL to the Toshiba website concerning an AHCI driver, and I went to Device Manager to find out which chipset I had the result was nothing like the example given by Toshiba. What I saw was as follows:
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
IDE Channel
Ricoh Memory Stick Controller
Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller
Ricoh xD Picture Card Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
Standard Dual Channel PC IDE Controller
IEEE 1394 Bus host contollers
Etc
etc
The processor is an AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz
This I am sure is a processor that could operate 64bit but is currently operating Vista 32bit

My Equium A210 won't load up after it powers up

Hi,
Last night my Equium A210 17I switched itself off during use. Despite several attempts to reboot, it just won't start. When I turn it on I get the message ' Windows is loading files'. This goes on for a couple of minutes, then the following information appears on the screen....
*Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and click "Next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

I never received an installation disc with my laptop , which I purchased from PC World about 2 years ago. Can I buy one ?
Hope someone can help.

Hi
Hmm. maybe you didnt receive the Recovery disk because the recover disk could be created using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator
I assume you have never checked your user manual. Im right?
Anyway maybe you could order the disk from here:
