Cannot remove cover memory! Satellite Pro A100

Hello, I am sorry to say that I am not able to remove the cover of the memory on the bottom of my laptop (satellite pro a100-491). I learned from the user guide that there is that a single screw to open the cover. But despite remove the screws (to the extent possible) the lid does not move. I don't want to use force so I wondering if theres a trick to open easily. I tried really a lot before posting here.
If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.

Hello

Simply replace the cover with a little force.

Good bye

  • Satellite A100 - how to remove the Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot

    Hey,.

    I really need help with how to remove my Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot.

    The laptop read the stick very well and I can see all the files into it but I can't seem to get out. I tried to push a little to get out, but it does not work and it's also pretty far in so I can't get out.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To my knowledge there is no extra help for Memory Stick Pro DUO removing as on the PCMCIA port.
    You should try to get him out. If you n t manage to pull him out with you fingers, you can use a pair of tweezers.
    But be careful.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

    In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

    The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

    http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

    and here

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

    If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - 4 GB memory motherboard?

    I have this model of Board of Directors: V000068460 there a docking port/blue graphics capabilities of the tooth/footprint/microphone/infra-red/external and pci-e connector for the wi - fi accepts cards pci-e dual use, but the system memory is limited to 3 GB because of the revision of the chipset.

    So no one knows of a compatible Board that offers the same options (infra-red is optional) but has a later chipset revision so that the memory can use 4 GB or almost 4 GB of ram?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-196 PSAACE-001009AR supports 4 GB of RAM.

    Google a little bit and found out that the Council V000068140 is compatible for Satellite Pro A100-196

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

    I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

    Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

    Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

    Thank you

    Mark

    This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
    I found this info:
    Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

    Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
    You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

    So finally a response:
    > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
    -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

  • Satellite Pro A100-828 has an interface 64-bit on X 1600 GPU memory?

    Hello

    Satellite Pro A100-828 has an interface 64-bit on X 1600 GPU memory? Please help I get only 2500 points on 3dMark05 on a Satellite Pro A100-828. The GPU is X 1600 with memory dedicated 128 MB + 384 MB Hypermemory. This card should be approximately 3500 brands.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - 828 Max memory speed

    Hello

    Can someone please tell me the max speed of memory for Satellite Pro A100-828, I'm wanting to move to the 4 GB maximum but is some sites say the maximum speed is 533 MHz while others say to 667 MHz. For example, the Toshiba site lists only memory 533 MHz under the "Compatible" Options yet other sites list 667 MHz memory as compatible.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You should check which bus (FSB) front would support.
    Install the hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home edition, and you should be able to find this value.

    If your chipset would support 667 Mhz then you can use these modules and the modules would go with 667 Mhz too.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - cannot update driver ATI

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my graphics ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600 card card. I can't update to the latest driver from the ATI. The program says that it can not install on my system - contact company for the most recent driver. But the one that is provided by Toshiba is almost two years!
    It all started with, that I could not run FIFA 2009... even if it clearly States in EA own manual that this graphics card is supported! But I do not see everything in the game - except the players. Only their shadows are visible...

    I know it's a lot, but I'm pulling the hair here!

    HEEELP!

    BTW: my system: Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE - Core2Duo 2.0 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 120 GB of HARD drive Windows XP Pro.

    I really wonder that many people do not understand why the laptop manufacturers don't offer drivers for graphics cards so often.
    Each laptop manufacturer deals with design, hardware components and drivers used for the operation of the equipment. On laptops, hardware components are miniaturized and placed close to each other. This means that the heat and is a common problem for the designers of the laptop.

    Each computer laptop (hardware, drivers, BIOS, cooling system) is designed to operate in optimal conditions. If you want the new driver that can force a graphics card to run on the maximum limit, the result will be more heat. More heat means more risk for damaging hardware and overheating.

    So to laptops, there are limits that must and should be respected. Graphics card manufacturers cannot just offer new drivers for laptops and be responsible for the damage. When some owner of the laptop is damage graphics card because of the driver who should be responsible? ATI or Toshiba?

    For this reason, graphics card manufacturers say clearly: If you want the new driver laptop computer contact the manufacturer. Manufacturers must also protect the customer s of material and be careful with this stuff.

    So I think you see how it works and the display driver update will be probably endless discussion on each laptop computers forum.

    Good luck!

  • Where to find bars of memory 2 GB for Satellite Pro A100

    According to the Toshiba site, the A100 has 2 memory slots for up to 2 GB per slot, but I can only find 1 GB max cards. Anyone know where I can find 2 GB cards?

    With the card, you mean the memory modules?

    You Satellite Pro A100 must be a unit of PSAACE-xxxx series because AFAIK other A100 Pro supports only 2 GB of memory.

    In any case, someone posted a useful link to the site to upgrade memory. I found this:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=26257&ft=m&St=3

    I chose the ProA100-828 because I put t know what exactly your unit.
    However, there is a 2 GB module shown.

    By the way: 200 pin DDR2-533 SODIMM modules are compatible!

    Hello

  • Satellite Pro A100 - cannot install display driver

    I am updating a Satellite Pro A100.
    I downloaded the update of the display driver but can't install it because it say its longer 88 charicters.

    Anyone has any ideas, tips or suggestions please?
    My goal is to alow the user to be able to play Sims 2 if it is possibe, because I know that some video cards do not support the game (or whatever it is).

    Hello

    I assume that you have downloaded the zip package.
    Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
    Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.

    Can you do this?

  • Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
    NETGEAR DG834G

    Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

    I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
    Thank you
    Kris

    > Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

    You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
    Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

    I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

  • Norton Ghost crushes on Satellite Pro A100

    Good afternoon everyone,

    I'm having a problem with a few laptops I have here. I just got a few Satellite Pro A100 but I have problems with making an image of the HARD disk. I tried Norton Ghost and a few other programs that can back up a disk to an image, but none of them worked. For some reason, they all crash when they are tryig to get started.

    I tried it on 3 different PC laptops and failed each time, exactly at the same place. I guess it has something to do with how these programs manage the memory.

    If someone has had this problem before and have you found a solution for this?

    Hello

    I doubt that the problem is something serious. But I can say that your best bet is to bring to an authorized service provider. The hard drive under sometimes is used to disconnect after a bit of work. But this isn't anything you can do to fix it. You must take it to a repair shop and ask them to look at. The reason that Norton blocked is because it cannot read the disk hard because she is not completely connected. I would like to know how this happens. And one last thing, if you want to turn the laptop and to take cover in the lower right and see if the hard drive is seated properly and firmly. Then try to use the ghost.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - card reader no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 - PSAACE-008002EN, that I bought a month ago, its worked perfectly so far and has been fantastic to use.

    The main part that I use is the memory located on the front card reader, I have used it with SD, MMC and cards XD for my pda and cameras, until now, it worked well, but recently, I was music transfer etc for my Sony PSP Memory Stick using a Memorystick Pro Duo Pro adapter so that the card fits properly in the slot and it works very well.

    All of a sudden the laptop can no more read on my MS card, I tried the card in a usb card reader and it works perfectly with or without the adapter. The laptop card reader reads cards SD MMC and XD, still perfectly fine but when I framed my memorystick, it shows the stick as being there in my computer, but when I click on the dialog box appears and says that there is no disc?

    I tried to install the latest drivers but it does not work, any help is appreciated

    Thank you very much

    Rich

    I found this information and first of all, I want to put a list of supported cards:

    SD (support of multiple Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8MB - 2GB
    Memory Stick (supported by several Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8 to 256 MB
    photo 16-1 GB xD card
    Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
    Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard 8 MB - 1 GB

    According to this list, the Memory Stick Pro Duo is not supported. But you used an adapter.
    But maybe this is a reason why the card reader cannot read the MS cards more.

    What you can do is to remove the card from the Device Manager reader, and after new restart try to install this new device
