Hello everybody,
Hope you are all cool!!!
I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S5818 laptop with vista on it; but I hate vista, so i have installed XP PRO instead. Any help with the drivers for this model will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Greeting Kalpan.

As I have tested there a few problems with the HD Audio Driver for S5818 especially on MCE. I think the problem you have been having in audio failing to load on a reboot or re-start. If that is correct try and look for WDM_R184 (Realtek HD Audio Driver - XP). Give it a try and you can update us here is all went well.

Thanks.

I have the Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422 and am running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 v.3311

I downloaded this package and installed all the drivers there...

: XP Drivers for Toshiba A215 - S7428 - The No-Dans Club

They worked great except for those common problem everyone seems to have here.

Then I fixed the FN keys...The only FN keys NOT working now are the F4, F8, F9, and F12. I don't even know what those do so I didn't worry anymore about them. All the rest of the FN key do work including the ones in black.

I used this driver to make that work...

Go to this page

Toshiba - Australia and New Zealand

and download

HotKey Utility....SPA210 THotkey-1.00.01-XP.exe

and then to fix the problem where the power settings reset themselves every time you unplug and plug in the computer, you need to install the...

Powersaver Utility....SPA210 TPower-Saver-7.04.02.1-XP.exe

That is available on that same page as the first utility if the above link doesn't work.


Please let me know if that helps anyone!

Does anybody have the Power Saver one? that page is gone now, and I really need that. Thanks!!!!

The only fucked up problem I found was that my PC's internet was not working (the host, one with the router) after I installed this driver on my notebook. Now I've heard that this driver actually effects the Realtek Ethernet I have on my PC. Is that true? Also, I had no luck all finding XP Radeon x1200 drivers... After all that shit, I recovered back to "out of box state", having Vista back on my notebook again. Other drivers that were also missing in XP were the SM Bus, HD Audio, and Ethernet Controller (since the one I installed wasn't a fully working driver) and my Radeon x1200. Why does it have to be this way? WHY!??!!!?? LOL No wonder this 2gig notebook was only $600... Anyways now I find this bundle of drivers for my Toshiba that someone made. I do not trust it enough so I'm not going to bother wasting my time if it's not going to work 110% Yesterday I just felt like breaking my shit into pieces. We should all call Toshiba up and fuck with them to get Toshiba Satellite a215-5818 drivers for Windows XP. That is the only option I think we have right now...

Wow I was so pissed... LOL

[Shaunk23]

Please i am hoping somone can help me!!! In the next two weeks ill be traveling for work and Its imperative our laptops work. I had to wipe this morning due to system crash and I have re-installed windows xp pro sp2. Its a Toshiba A215 - S7437 . Currently Im sitting with below in device manager as missing:

Ethernet Controller
PCI Device
RL8187B_WLAN_Adapter
Sm Bus Controller
Video Controller


This machine originally had vista on it so there is zero support for it ALTHOUGH I converted it for him about 8 months ago and I was able to get it all up and running .. unfortunately we have no disk.


ALL I need help on is getting the internet connection on it up. I can find the audio and video. I Assume I need the Ethernet controller so I can set a line into it and it will read it. I really need to get this up and have been sitting here for THREE HOURS already... I keep finding things on line that show " Rapid share " but every time I get 90 % of the way done then it says " Cannot read server source " Please if you have time point me in the right direction... I figured you may know other places to look or can look at it from a hardware angle and see what driver I may need and I can find it on ANOTHER Toshiba model. You can also email me @ Shaun.Knapp@hotmail.com

Thank you!!

Shaun
