• Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

  Hi all

  I have a similar problem with A100-646 (purchased in Italy). Computer laptop LCD and monitor external display screen black but without another problem at the start of the system. When the laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it works for a week with no problems.

  Unfortunately, there is no adequate service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a power problem.

  Is there another idea? Does anyone have a service manual? ([email protected])

  Service manuals are available only for the technicians of the ASP.
  Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem, and therefore, you should get in contact with a technician for laptop to check defective parts!

• Lock screen Satellite A100-153 and Windows login problem?

  I installed Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1, everything worked fine, but when I updated the BIOS to 1.40 (WIN) at least once a day connection Windows crashes (I can move the mouse, but can't click on my username to type the password, alo TAB key does not work). Also, now when I press the key combination Fn + F1 to lock the screen, sometimes (not always) I can't go stay right back to the black screen!
  Someone knows what can be a problem?

  Hello

  According to these document Toshiba BIOS FAQ update of the BIOS can be done with 2 different procedures:
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  It is possible that you have useed the wrong or bad BIOS BIOS update procedure.
  Well, it's not easy to say why the connection of the laptop freezes. The fact is that the Satellite A100 is a laptop very new and it comes with all service packs Microsoft (SP1 + Sp2). I don't know whether you have installed the device manually, but you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  I would recommend recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD and finally, you check to see if the connection problem.

• Win7 64 bit on Satellite A100-646

  Hi all
  It is possible to install Win7 64 bit version on laptop A100-646?
  I think that the support from toshiba (drivers) for this OS is not complete for my 'old' laptop

  Thank you very much
  Concerning

  I m afraid 64 bit is not supported, but you can try to install it anyway and check what are the missing drivers. Maybe some drivers for A200 and A300 can be used.

  I also saw that A100 (PSAA9E) is supported for Win7 32 bit. Install the 32-bit version. It's Ok, and I hope that it wil run on your laptop. I use 32 bit on A300 and I m very happy.

  Hello

  You should try to remove the devices that they are marked with a yellow exclamation point. Start Notepad, and then install the latest drivers from the Toshiba site.

  If the virus has destroyed an important system files that it s is no longer possible to install a driver and you need to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  Did you create the Toshiba Recovery disk? You can do this with the Toshiba recovery disc creator, which is preinstalled on your laptop. Maybe you are able to do this at the moment.
  In addition, you reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. So go to the advanced boot menu and select Repair my computer. Some Windows files will be loaded and then you can choose the Toshiba Recovery option and follow the instructions on the screen.

  If you can t create the recovery disk, you must order a new Toshiba directly:

• Satellite A100-253 - question on the display, the sound and LAN drivers

  After getting a fresh installation (windows XP) on my Satellite A100-253, I thought that I needed the latest drivers. Apperently the drivers from the Toshiba site are obsolete or do any work.
  Here are my problems:

  -Display drivers is not installed at all. Instead, I installed the Catalyst drivers from another site but the resolution will not go higher then 1280 * 800, where my screen works better @ 1280 * 1024. Where can I get decent display drivers so I can put a normal resolution?
  -J' downloaded audio drivers on the Toshiba site but the sound is worse then it was. Where can I get the best drivers?
  -LAN (no WIFI) drivers on the Toshiba site seem to only have a uninstall.exe. Where can I get for my local network actual installation files?

  Thanks for the help in advance.

  Hello!

  1. drivers you can get on the site of Toshiba or live production.
  Where did you download the drivers?
  Maybe a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  2. it of the same as point 1; Toshiba or directly to manufacturing.
  But don t forget a notebook is not an entertainment system, and if you want high quality sound you need external speakers.

  3. this package contains the actual installation files, but you must install them manually. This may make you in the device, right click on LAN card Manager and update the driver.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-646 - new replacement DVD drive

  Hi all

  I need to replace the dvd from my laptop.
  I am looking for spare parts on the web, bat, I can't find anything.

  Can anyone suggest me were buy a compatible dvd player?

  I write from the Italy.

  Thank you

  Concerning

  Hey,.

  It is important that you purchase a compatible CD/DVD player because not all readers are compatible with all laptops.

  In your user manual, you will find a list of compatible readers you should check. These discs are pre-tested and will work/adjustment.
  If you're looking for with Google, you will find some online stores where you can buy it I think. An alternative you can also ask a service provider directly, allowed that guys know this drive is compatible:

• Low audio on Satellite A100-646

  Hi all

  my laptop with Vista Home Premium has an audio level (reading of cd/dvd, sound system, etc.) which is very low.
  I tried to increase performance with the mixer and update the version finally official 6.0.1.5326 driver (Realtek High Definition Audio), but the results do not change.
  With Windows XP the sound is very good.

  A suggestion?

  Thank you very much
  Concerning

  Fabrizio

  Hi mate,

  I assume that you have installed the drivers from the toshiba driver download site. Maybe you should try the drivers 'real' Realtek that work well on all systems, no matter what manufacturer. (So I made very positive experiences with www.realtek.com drivers, since the drivers of tosh sometimes won´t work, Don t know why...)

  I suggest to check www.realtek.com, download the drivers from there and check if the problem persists. It s probably just a driver issue related and probably easy to solve with the realtek drivers.

  Welcome and good luck

  PS: would be recognizing a few comments if the drivers have worked for you

• The CD/DVD drive power calibration error - Satellite A100-646

  Hi all

  I have a problem with the DVD-RAM of my laptop. I can not burn cd/DVDs, show error message is "power calibration error".
  Can I fix it myself?
  I tried to change the blank media (CD/DVD), cleaned the optical lens. S.O. Vista Home Premium
  The unit of DVD - RAM, it is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device Ver = 1.10 firmware

  Tanks a lot
  Best regards

  Fabrizio

  > I can fix it myself?

  Do not think that you will be able to solve this problem, because according to the error message, lens driver cannot calibrate in the right position and that's why the drive can't burn any DVD or CD.

  This is a mechanical problem and to my knowledge, the drive must be replaced.
  For assistance, please contact the ASP in your country. They should replace the disc with the compatible and supported a.

  If the warranty is valid should be done for free.

  Good luck a cheers

• I just had a phone call from a person claiming to be microsoft saying that I had pressing problems and want me to open the event viewer... was that microsoft really do that?

  It was a real person from Microsoft or a marketing attempt? The person named name and my address (I know doesn't mean anything) and says that I have problems with viruses etc. download on my computer

  Hi Elizabeth,.

  It is definitely a scam any.  Microsoft did not communicate people this way.  Ignore them - hang up on them.  In addition to not let them connect to your system, do not allow direct you to a Web site or download anything they suggest - it can be worse than just a marketing effort and an attempt to infect, hack, get information about identity theft or otherwise affect your system (and it may be an effort to marketing as well to infect and then you sell a product to remove infections - which may or may not) not work and most likely the product itself is an infection still further or hacking).

  Good job on caution and check first.  Play well!  You yourself have potentially saved a lot of grief.  They are the same type of thing by e-mail, and Microsoft is not communicate with people that way either about this sort of thing, then ignore and junk all these messages and DO NOT open the attachments to these messages.  Just remove them completely.

  Good luck and best wishes!
