Can satellite A100-999 - I recover the HDD password?

Hi all

I had a virus, so I formatted my computer, a Satellite A100-999. After I did, I was going to install Windows Vista, but I never could, because they ask my HDD password and I don't know what password it is that, I don't see it anywhere. My computer has been installed in the store, I only have a bootable disc, they gave me.

My question is: How can I recover my HDD password? Is it possible? I can boot the system in any other way?

Thank you!

Sara

It of not possible recovery or removes the HARD drive password. An ASP peut t for this too.

Sorry, but in this case, you need a new HARD drive. There's no other way.

    Hello

    Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
    But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

    Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
    Check it out
    If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

    In addition, you can buy a player of an ASP supported in your country

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma. You must take the HARD disk at 5400 RPM. It should be pretty fast and produces less heat. It is good for office and multimedia applications.

    I hope you enjoy with your new HARD drive. ;)

  • Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

    Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

    The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

    HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

    Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

    I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

  • Re: Room Temperature for Satellite A100-999

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-999 (old lil :/) with XP

    I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

    at the present time about the temperature I have are: (Celsius)
    Motherboard: 60 + -.
    CPU: 65 years and more-

    When it has a high performance, it reached 90 - 95 +-. And if im right... the CPU with this temperature control can be activated automatically right?
    As im not an expert in the field, can someone guide me a bit?

    From now to detect temperatures im using the software: Everest AIDA64. (I guess that temperatures are not 100% Reliable, but they give me an idea).
    If there are ways to cool the laptop (I know cleaning is one of them of course) I would be grateful to receive some information.

    Thanks in advance

    > I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

    It is not easy to say dude. The temperature can be always different and always depends on the use of the laptop.
    On the Intel page, you will find details about your CPU and you can find the temperature for the CPU limit. It s mainly around 100 C.

    However, if the temperature is too high, then the laptop would shut down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage. If the laptop is secure with such protection.

    By the way; the temperature can occur at a higher value if cooling modules and grids are obstructed by dust. So it s advisable to clean the grilles and fans of compressed air for usinf time spraying time.

  • Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

    Hello

    I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

    I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

    Best regards
    pawelg

    Hi pawelg,

    I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

    By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

  • 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.

  • Mr President, I put in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot the admin password, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    Mr President.

    I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
