Hi! The laptop that I own is broken, so I' ve been given a Toshiba Tecra A8 (PTA83E) to use. The thing is that the manual is missing and I can't even find it online, and somehow the wireless switch turned off. Now I can' t turn it back on. Please can you provide me with some information where is it? Thanks

    Hi kostasap1981, I want to help you with A8
    the A8 has OS, windows, my guess but what version and as you can see the wifi is dead.
    why not use Ethernet cable, (or are you sitting in Starbucks).
    wifi dead has 4 basic causes, (PCs are complex)
    1: the card is missing, in the PC, it was an option new, it plugs in , open bottom hatches see it? or the antennas fell of the 2 pins on car, look again.

    2: the driver is missing or wrong one loaded or is corrupted, well get it at Toshiba.com
    learn that FIXya has to books or drivers.
    the book is at Toshiba.com 24/365
    3: the OS unstated by you is corrupted. XP will be that, and hopeless THAT. year 2014+

    4:the laptops mostly have this control
    strip panel above the keyboard, one button is wifi, if the driver (not same as above)
    is missing, wrong ,or corrupted, the button will be dead, so, load all the drivers for you PC matching your unstated OS at Toshiba.com end story

I think this will be of help. Though it doesn't have a manual listed, it does have a tab 'Knowledge Base'.
Happy Holidays!

I need original windows for Toshiba tecra a8 model

Hi,

You would need to purchase that from Microsoft or a reputable software vendor in your area.

You may also want to get a free upgrade from their site provided you had an original before hand.

Do this and your Toshiba Tecra a8 will thank you for it!

Take care.

I have a toshiba tecra a8 pta83e when i switch my laptop on a black screen comes like DOS and written on (alert: system protection failure! password= ) so can u help me and...

JAN 2018 post. answer above forgets the owner has no PW.
wow. that said that clearly to me above;
that PC has rechargeable battery deep inside. (oddly)
the above poster only fixes Change PW never LOST PW.
ok?

Lost PW or dead battery fixes.
this pc , turn it on, and let it charge the RTC battery deep inside,
Thoshiba is the only PC that does this Ni-Mh battery deal.
and only charges turned on.
after charging this battery below
turn PC off then on the see if the PC asks for BIOS admin Password, if yes post back or read my 2 other A8 posts here
with the 12 steps to clear this PW. ok,
if the NVRAM scrambles (as all do A8 if parked in shelf for say a year) then the NVRAM scrambles and now the PW is lost.
so it ask for PW, if you
power on and hammer the F1 key, BIOS may POP to 1st screen
then hit BIOS reset key for, return to default settings.
then exist and save.


proof

the USA A8 manual quote, read that carefully !
rtc2-p4jtowbtouygind4aa4y4bam-3-0_0.jpg that last line above, is OMG , really? and is true.... must be left on for say 24hours, 1hr min, I guess.
also the battery this old will be bad, In most cases,
sorry never seen a 12 year old Ni-Mh any good anywhere.
