Vista SP1 problem on Satellite A210

Hello,
I just installed the Vista SP1 and since that my notebook doesn't reboot or shut down properly. If I choose "shutdown" the shutdown-screen appears, but the notebook does not shut down. Then the monitor turns black and that's it.
Did enyone encounter the same problem after installing SP1? I deinstalled the SP1 and since that everything works fine again.
By the way, I can't download any driver updates for my Satellite A210 since this evening. When I choose the options in the menu and klick search the website says: no drivers found!

I agree with you in the fact, that testing takes its time. Most of the drivers for my A210 are from around summer 2007.
I don't know when the Vista SP1 testing phase started, but I think Toshiba had plenty of time to adjust drivers, as many other manufacturers did.
So why not Toshiba?
I got the SP1 via Windows Update and thought that everything would be fine.
Yes, I know, the "early adopters" ;-)!
So the SP1 was installed...and...the problems occurred!
So I went on the Toshiba website - no information (as they did with the bandwidth problems in the drivers download section in January and February).
In the drivers section: no drivers. How comes, that a companies don't support SP1 and its nowhere announced?
I don't care, if Toshiba updates the drivers once in ten years, as long as everything works fine.

  • Vista SP1 problem

    Well this weekend I got the chance to run Lenovo's "One Key Recovery" software through it's paces.
    I tried installing SP1 for Vista twice.  Both times it failed during the last step.
    Anyone else having bad luck with SP1?

    If you have not already go to start , all programs, ThinkVantage, and then System Update and download the latest version of R and R which is Vista SP1 Compliant.

  • Vista can not detect my graphic card ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128

    Hallo,
    Can someone help me with this issue?
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-128 laptop with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can not use it any more.
    I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
    So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/
    What to do????
    It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
    Thank you very much.

    The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
    Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
    Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
    If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
    Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=142621#142621
    and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

  • Satellite A210-19T: Win 8 Beta is a nightmare but I can't get Vista back.

    Hi,
    I could really do with some help.
    I was one of the fools that decided to try Windows 8 a few months back only to find that I cannot seem to reverse it and now my laptop is virtually useless to me.
    I can't seem to find a reboot disc but I'm not even that sure I received one in the first place.
    From what I've read online, Toshiba put everything on a partition and you access it by pressing a shortcut when the machine loads up.
    I've tried that but the new Wonderful Windows 8 won't let me access it, should it even be there in the first place.
    I've got a valid machine with a valid serial etc. I just want the old OS back ASAP.
    I put my serial in on the support page and this is what it says I have:
    Satellite A210-19T
    Part Number : PSAFGE-03V011EN
    Key Features
    - AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-57
    - Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
    - DVD Super Multi (Double Layer) drive
    - 2,048 (1,024 + 1,024) MB
    - 15.4 " WXGA TFT display 1,280 x 800
    Please help me get my laptop back to it's previous state.
    Thanks in advance.

    > From what I've read online, Toshiba put everything on a partition and you access it by pressing a shortcut when the machine loads up.
    Thats right but you will have access to this partition with factory settings only. Problem is that after own OS version you will not be able to start HDD recovery installation anymore.
    > I've got a valid machine with a valid serial etc. I just want the old OS back ASAP.
    Correct, but this valid serial belongs to OS that you got with your notebook. In Toshiba users manuals is clearly described how notebook owner should create recovery DVD and have back-up of original recovery image. Using this disc you can install recovery image anytime you want.
    If you dont have it there are two possibilities only:
    -to order new one from https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx (it will not be for free)
    -to install own OS (you cannot use serial from the sticker)
    Sorry but it is a bit complicated now.

  • Problem With Conexant HDAudio After Installing x86 Vista SP1

    I didn't want to start a new thread, but it seems my problem is very unique.
    When first installing Vista x86 my Speakers/Headphones worked great. After Vista SP1 installed, my Speakers/Headphones went silent yet the driver was still there and functioning properly. I uninstalled the driver, and let Windows auto-install another driver. (No Rollback was available) I was able to get sound from my Speakers. Speakers are the only thing that work whether I plug into the headphone jack or not. 
    While plugged to the headphone jack I test the Headphone device in Playback Devices and get nothing through the headphones.
    HP support's drivers only mute my speakers while making my headphone device in playback disappear. Same with updating the driver.
    I like to use this as a TV computer and would like sound from the TV via the headphone jack. 
    I have searched EVERYWHERE on the internet and found no resolution. Any help would be appreciated.

    Glad to here it working
    Not sure on your model but on dv2000 models I worked on I was able to replace the headset jack board by removing all screws from lower casing, removing rear button panel then just lift front palm rest & have easy'ish access to jack board 2 screws & ribbon connector.
    Hope your jack board lasts a while ...

  • Touchpad doesn't work after changing from Vista to XP Satellite A210

    Hi everybody!
    I have changed Windows and now something is wrong with Touchpad. It works only as a mouse (cursor moves, right and left buttons are also ok).
    Before with Vista I had email button, wireless connection, something else and sound changing, and plus it had extra blue light. Now these buttons are not active and no etrxa light.

    I've tried all possible drivers already but maybe you could advice me something else.

  • MacBook Pro sleep problems with Vista SP1

    Has anyone faced sleep problems on a MacBook Pro after installing Vista SP1?
    I run Boot Camp 2.0 with the latest update from Apple.
    IDT finally issued a compatible Vista driver for my Sigmatel audio.
    I was very happy for the first time running Vista on my Apple when I had the stupid idea to upgrade to SP1.
    After days of troubleshooting with Windows support it is obvious that SP1 and my MacBook Pro are incompatible for some obscure reasons. The latest time I tried SP1 was through Windows Update, which means that Windows detected no compatibility issues, such as drivers.
    I suspect Apple-in-sight driver without any evidence, just a hint.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hibernation seems iffy. Have you tried disabling hibernation? and when you say sleep, what happens? won't wake or what?
    Normally I don't recommend resetting NVRAM or SMU but for sleep you might want to.
    And yes, trying to rule out why can be difficult. But I would not blame SP1. Maybe BC 2.1.
    Do you have a book dealing with Vista? or looked for articles or forums that deal with Vista? There is one for Vista64 - assume you have 32-bit though. Google is often best way to find things in Apple discussions or knowledge base, too.

  • T61P Vista SP1 3GB/4GB Problem

    Hi !
    I've memory 3GB/4GB problem with T61P. I've install Vista SP1 (32B), problem still exist. Any hope ?
    Have a nice day !
    B.

    Do you mean your OS won't recognise more that 3Gb?  That is the limit of a 32 bit OS (Vista).  Unless you get Windows 64 bit OS, you're stuck with 3Gb.

  • Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit

    Hello, I need Toshiba Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit. If you have setup file, please redirect me, if you have any other file, please explain me where to install it.

    If I were you I would take look to the Drivers Download site of the Toshiba mainpage, because there you can find everything you need.
    The mass storage controller can either be the HDD controller or the SD-card controller. I would download both of them.
    Heres a direct link to the Drivers page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • Satellite A210 - Over heating and problem updating BIOS

    My aunt was having problems with her A210 so she bought herself a new one and gave me the old one. The problems she was having was the computer kept randomly shutting down. I think it is an overheating problem because the laptop runs pretty hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I was thinking that might help with this problem. Anyways, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came up.
    Cannot load driver C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT.SYS.
    Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilege, please login again!
    Access is denied.
    Error code: 5
    I am the only user on the computer and I have administrator priveleges so I'm not sure why this error is coming up. Please help. Thanks

    > Has anyone else experienced overheating problems with the A210? Any solutions?
    Hi mate
    Im an Satellite A210 owner and to be honest an higher internal temperature could happen if the notebook would not get enough air in order to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
    Some weeks ago I used the notebook lying on the couch I didnt notice that the cooling ventilators which are placed at the bottom of the unit were clogged because of my relax position if you know what I mean ;)
    After a short time of usage, the notebook shut down automatically I was a little bit surprised but I realized that the air could not circulate and therefore the notebook overheated
    Now, Im using the unit only on the desk. This is recommended and it helps to keep the temperature on lower level
    PS: My BIOS is up to date...

  • How to recover Windows Vista on Satellite A210?

    My friend bought Thoshiba Satellite A210. The machine is running slow, so he wants to reinstall Vista.
    Can we recover it from hard drive?
    He does not have any CD coming with the laptop.
    Thanks.

    The A210 was definitely delivered with the Toshiba Recovery DVD which would help you to get the notebook back to the factory settings.
    As far as I know the A210 was not equipped with the HDD Recovery option and therefore the Recovery DVD should be in the package.
    If you dont have the Recovery DVD anymore, then you could order it here:

  • Satellite A210 - How to use muldimedia buttons with other than Media Player

    Hi,
    is it really not possible to use the Multimedia Buttons (Play, Pause, FF) on the top of my notebook for another application than the Windows Media Player?
    Is there any reason for this? I would like to control Winamp with this buttons.
    It seems quite sensless to restrict the acces to ONE application of HUNDREDS available, an then this one is the Media Player which is not used by the most people.
    I have the Satellite A210 Notbook.
    Can you tell my how to control my winamp with this buttons?
    Greetings from Robert

    Hello Robert
    Unfortunately there is no solution at the moment. If you check this forum you can find several very interesting threads about multimedia buttons and Winamp player. The fact is that some people have found solution for older notebook models running WXP. Winamp has offered plugin that must be installed.
    Now we have new situation. Your notebook runs newest Vista OS and I didnt find any plugin that can help. Problem is that your notebook is designed for Windows Vista and preinstalled OS contains all necessary plugins for running Windows media player as a part of preinstalled operating system.
    It is no kind of restriction. With preinstalled OS you can do what you want and if you can find a way to change it do this. You know very well that there are hundreds of different players on the market. You cannot expect that Toshiba take a time and create a plugins for all of them and satisfy the customers all over the world.

  • Display goes off and comes back only when Satellite A210 is restarted

    Hi,
    Satellite A210 displays goes off now and then and comes back only when the machine is restarted.
    Usual runtime runtime 30 or 45 mins
    Please advice
    # Is this a hardware problem or software?
    # Does some one else faced same problem do advice?
    Machine is year and a half old runs windows vista basic that comes with it.
    I have reinstalled the display adapter drivers also the problem remains same

    Hello
    Have you tested an external monitor on the notebook?
    If the external monitor works fine it seems to be an internal display issue and must be replaced.
    Are you running the factory settings on your notebook or have you installed your own Windows version? Before you go to an authorized service provider you should restore the factory settings to determine if its a hardware or software problem. With the factory settings all should work properly and if not in my opinion its a hardware problem.
