• Satellite A100-847 - replacing a WLan card

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100-847. I would change as WIFI card for new with "n" standard.
  I found some tutorials how to proceed, but it was for Toshiba A105, very similar to my only.

  I opened the bottom cover where is memory and modem, but I couldn't see all the PCI ports.
  Is it possible to do?
  Does work through mini-PCI or is integrated on the motherboard?

  Hello

  The A100 PSAA9E supports a minPCI WLan card that supports the IEEE 802 standard. 11a / g WLan standards.
  I m not 100% sure if it would be possible to upgrade the WiFi network with a WLan card 802.11 minPCI n because the two antenna cables.
  You should first clarify if the antenna is compatible with the 802.11 standard new * WLan N standard *.

  The minPCI wireless network card must be hidden under the keyboard. So you'd have to remove the keyboard first to get access to the wireless network card.
  The wireless network card is also connected to two antenna cables. The cables must be removed carefully using a pair of tweezers. Then spread plugs securing the wireless LAN card until the card appears.

  Usually it of not difficult to replace this WLan card but if you have no experience I wouldn t recommend doing this.
  This replacement must be done by a qualified technician!
  In addition you guarantee the validity could be cancelled after these updates.

• What is the recovery CD contain - Satellite A100-847

  Hello guys

  I had a few questions on the recovery CD:

  1. what the recovery CD contain? and the other CD, which is called the media something?

  2 - has Windows inside? So can I format my PC to use it? And where can I find the product key (windows key)

  3. what happens if I wanted to use the CD without formatting? etc., install the software?

  Sorry to ask too but my laptop started to bother me. Just FYI, my laptop is satellite A100-847

  Hello

  I'll try to answer your question.

  1 recovery media contains recovery image. Recovery image is a kind of package that contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities and some other software like WinDVD or Norton antivir application. Media, that something is not known to me. Perhaps the exact description can help.

  2 Yes there the Windows operating system. Yes, you can format your laptop to use it. You don't need a product key. Just install it.

  3 I don't know what you mean. The fact is that HARD drive will be formatted before you start the installation of recovery. Make sure that all your important data are saved on an external device.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-847 - upgrade advice

  Hello

  I use the Satellite A100 - 847 (PSAA9E) for almost two years. 2 years warranty be over within a month, so I guees this is good time for an upgrade. I could use more RAM and a faster HARD drive (for purposes of CAD especially when I'm on the track) so I would like to know more about it.

  * What I already found out which is my laptop: *.
  (if I'm wrong with something to say please)

  1) ... May take 2 DDR2-DIMM modules; 4 GB max; which means 2x2gb. I have already 2X512GB, and it is not enough.
  -The question is what DDR2 memory! The FSB is running on 667 MHz, so I guess I should buy PC-5300/667 or even 6400/800?
  -What is the best memory for my laptop? Who gets very hot! What model is pretty cool?

  2) ... At a Hitachi Travelstar 5 K 100, 2.5 ", 5400 RPM, 8 MB, 100 GB SATA cache. The capacity is enough for me, but it's far too slow. So I guess I should to a 7200 RPM 16 MB disk cache.
  -The question here is my laptop support SATA2 or is - this just SATA1? What shlould buy?
  -My laptop does support disk 7200 RPM?
  -My laptop overheating with this drive?

  3) ... Could have a more efficient cooling system. Is there a solution to this?

  Thank you in advance,
  adambar

  Hello

  Googling autour I ve found track information:

  The computer has two SO DIMM slot comes standard with the DDRII 4200 module. He
  supports PC2-4200 and use SO DIMM (DDRII SDRAM) leads to 1.8 V, accepting
  BTO/CTO for your memory needs. It can integrate up to 4 GB of hand
  memory.
  By using the following formats of memory modules:
  256 MB (16 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  512 MB (32 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  1024 MB (64Mx16x8P) / 533/667 MHZ

  If you want to use the maximum RAM, you must use two 2 GB. Toshiba recommends the use
  2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2 PA3513U-1M2G. An alternative to this RAM module are modules memory high quality Kingston .

  On HARD drive, I can say follow:
  HARD drive interface compliant to Serial ATA (for 40/60/80/100/120 GB).
  The computer can accommodate a HARD drive of 2.5 inches with all the following storage capabilities:
  40 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 rpm)
  60 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  80 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  100 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  120 GB (5400 RPM) SATA (9.5 mm thick)

  As far as I know that SATA2 is backward compatible and theoretically, you can use it, but I'm not sure about this. If I were you, I would by SATA1 HDD.
  As you can see, Toshiba has tested 7200 RPM hard drives with this model of laptop, and you can use it also.
  Maybe not overheating, but I can imagine that the plastic cover will be hotter than before. Make sure just the laptop is placed correctly and that there is nothing blocking the cooling fan.

  More efficient cooling system? I put t know what you mean exactly end-to-end you can try something like this.

  You can increase the bandwidth in the detail of your A2DP configuration settings. Have you tried?
  The cause of blue screen could be also any other driver of system. Could you upload your zipped '% SystemRoot%\memory.dmp' or the '% SystemRoot%\Minidump.dmp' file, which contains debug information to crash to a free online storage, for example http://www.wuala.com/en/learn/features

  I'll install Vista x 64.
  First of all, I wanted to download the necessary drivers.
  When I use toshiba Web site there is no x 64 drivers for my model A100-847.
  Where can I find them? The drivers are included in Vista?

  Hello

  Satellite A100-847 seems to belong to the PSAA9E series!
  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and unfortunately; 64-bit Vista drivers are not available for this series of laptop.

  However, there is perhaps a chance to get 64-bit drivers, I know that some series of laptops are equipped with the same features. This is why some unique drivers should run on the series of portable different too.

  You should check some other series where 64-bit drivers are available and try to install it maybe you're lucky.

• Can satellite A100-003 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Hello everyone,

  I have the Satellite A100-003 and I've been running it with Windows XP since I it (triple). Now I want to install Windows 7 on it, however, I'm confused about what can I install on it.

  I have a few places on the Toshiba site, I found that I can install Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), but I can met some problems with the BIOS, in other places, I tried but could not find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit.

  So what is the case? My first goal is to install windows 7 64 bit, because I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, but even the 32 bit would be a better choice than XP right now.
  So I can install Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Hello

  Important before installing another OS, you check the Toshiba driver download page. Satellite A100-003 belongs to the PSAARE series and is therefore not available for Windows 7 drivers. You can only get the drivers for Windows XP and Vista 32 bit.

  This means that you can try to install Windows 7 because Vista drivers most also work on Windows 7.
  If this isn't the case you find newer drivers yourself, maybe you can find something.

• Satellite A100-847 battery led blinks 11 times, absence of motherboard?

  Hello

  14 months (only 12 months warranty), I have a Satellite A100-847 was a laptop perfect, but 2 weeks ago the ac-adaptar falls down and since then that if I push the power button the battery orange led blinks 11 times with the same length, but nothing happens.

  ASP did not now what this flashing means but think I have a motherboard problem.
  Now I found on ebay a Satellite A100-153 and my question is, is this the same motherboard, because it's also 945 PM.
  (Sorry for my bad English)

  [Satellite A100-847: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=120570&DISC _ MODEL = 1 & service = EU]

  THX.

  It seems that two laptop computers support the same motherboard as the Satellite A100-847 and Satellite A100-153 belong to the same series of PSAA9E.
  This series uses the same drivers and the same BIOS so I think that the mobo must also be the same.

  PS; I think that it is a motherboard problem too. Such a code is displayed only if a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard.

  Best regards
