I am helping my friend resinstall his Toshiba Satelite laptop. I used the
laptop's recovery disk to restore the laptop to factory state. But the
laptop wouldn't bootup to XP any more... XP screen appears then blue a
screen showing fatal error and shuts down. I did the reinstallation twice
same thing happened. It was then my friend rememered the laptop had a
serious problem in the past; that he took it to a repair place and that they
had changed a major component most likely the motherboard. So I used an XP
disc to reformat and reinstall; now the laptop bootsup OK. The problem is I
can't identify the motheroard in order to download the device drivers
(graphic, Network, wireless, sound, bluetooth).

I used Everest home edition and got the following info
Motherboard ID: NAPA0001.86C.0000.D.0706201445
Motherboard Name: Unknown
Network Adapter: NoDb
Graphic Adapter: NoDb

Does anyone know about this motherboard... my internet search did not help.
Also; is there any tool besides Everest I could use to figure the
motherboard name, model, manufacturer etc...

Thanks for your help in advance

I got one hit here.

http://forum.worldstart.com/showthread.php?t=127252

NAPA0001.86C.0000.D.0706201445
TOSHIBA Satellite A105
Intel Corporation CAPELL VALLEY(NAPA) CRB

For an up-to-date version of Everest, you can buy that
from Lavalys.com . The free version I use, is years old,
and not up to date.

If you want to convert the Ven/Dev info yourself, there
are informally maintained resources like this. But you
won't find everything listed here.

http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids

For example, we can take the first four items...

PCI/AGP 104C-8039: Generic CardBus Controller [NoDB]
PCI/AGP 104C-803A: Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller [NoDB]
PCI/AGP 104C-803B: Mass Storage Controller [NoDB]
PCI/AGP 104C-803C: SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller [NoDB]

All four are part of the same device, a Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller.
You can find examples of cardbus devices on the TI site. The drivers may already
be included in Windows, depending on how old they are. The fun part would be figuring
out which of the possible devices it is.

http://focus.ti.com/paramsearch/doc...log&familyId=381&uiTemplateId=NODE_STRY_PGE_T

The situation on USB is usually worse, because some
USB devices have fully programmable Ven/Dev, webcams
being an example.

Anyway, maybe if you have a look at the downloads
for Satellite A105, you'll get some ideas.

Thanks Elmo, Paul; I forgot to menthion the driver I got from Toshiba site
did not work... specifically video driver. The driver though said to be for
XP but when I tried to install I got "This driver is not for your operating
system" and quit. I tried two other drivers for other devices and got the
same result... I'll try the other drivers and report back. Thanks all.
 
So whats the actual Tosh model?

The motherboard has to be the same one it came with, there are no generic or
3rd party boards for laptops like there are for desktops, so the same
drivers should apply to it.
 
Can't say I disagree... but how come the original drivers for the laptop
model are not installating - except sound driver.
 
I got the wireless driver to work... installed toshiba diagnostic tool...
the tool indicated I have
Model Satelite A100 PSB10U-SA10ES1

That's different from what's on the laptop - meaning my friend was right...
the repair shop changed the motherboard.
Now I can't find that model on any toshiba site US/Canada/International.
 
It's likely you got the motherboard of a different model of that series,
have you called the repair shop to confirm the work that was done?

Try runnning SIW, a free download from here: http://www.gtopala.com/
 
Well if the drivers for that model wont install, giving you that err msg, it
would tend to suggest that the mobo has been changed to maybe another Tosh
model
A google search on that mobo ID reveals nothing other than your leached
posts

Satelite A100 PSAAOC-LE400E (sold in Canada)

In installed SIW... Didn't give any info on the 2 devices (LAN, Mass storage
device) left. My headache is I can't find the Toshiba motherbaord on any
Toshibe site. Anyway thanks for your help
 
Exactly. I have installed all the devices by pulling teeth. Only 2 left...
network and Mass storage
 
Each device has a unique Vendor & Device ID. You can access this
information from Device Manager. If you add a System Environment
variable DevMgr_Show_Details and set it's value = 1. Right Click on
the Device and take Properties. When the details box opens click on
the "Details" (TAB). You see an entry named Device Instance ID.
Copy down this string. Using web search you'll be able to match the
Vendor/ID string to find out what the device actually is.
