CD/DVD not working on the Satellite A100.

Hello

When I put a CD in my computer, it read does'nt. And when I go in my computer, there is no sign that I have even a CD/DVD driver. It is very annoying, because I bought my computer for gaming. Ive no idea what to do.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

You can see yourself CD/DVD drive in BIOS?

You can boot from the original Toshiba Recovery disk?

  • For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

    I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

    Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
    I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

    That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
    PX1237E-1NPO
    PX1235E-1NPO

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A100-812

    Hello, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A100-812 (C. Duo, 2 GB RAM, GF 7600, Vista Premium). I disabled the synaptics driver in msconfig. After a while, I turned on the driver but Touchpad still does not work. All the fn buttons work correctly (turning brightenswith FN + F6 or FN + F7 etc.) but FN + F9 (turning the Touchpad) does not always work.
    Help, please.

    ([email protected])

    Hello

    you did a reinstallation of the driver? I think that if you have disabled it with msconfig, it should work after reactivation and otherwise, to remove this driver and install it
    Once again. (So the touchpad) driver should be available after reinstalling and restarting Windows.

    Would be recognizing a few comments if it worked. :)

    Hello

    I ' v I just A100-003 with Vista, but reinstall W - XP. What driver I have to get a Fn key work properly? Only Fn + F5 (switch to VGA output) works well. I can't adjust brightness disp., sound mute or touchpad switch. Where can I find a driver for Windows XP Home edition solve this problem?

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A100

    Hello

    I bought a satellite A100 (PSAA9) and have a problem with my touchpad. For some reason, the keys do not respond sometimes and I have to press the Fn + Alt keys to solve the problem, and it works well. Later, he appears again and I didn't Kow why?

    The only thing I can say is whenever I press the key as alt Gr, the touchpad everything is blocked.

    In addition, when the keyboard is locked, my mouse is not working well (left click does not respond and do a right click does the same thing as a normal left click). Again, I press Fn + ALT and it's ok.

    Hope someone can help me please!

    Thanks in advance!

    HM, sounds like a very boring and weird problem. Have you tried to reinstall your system or at least a linux live CD to see if the problem still occurs if you start a different operating systems?

    If you didn t tried, then it would be useful. Maybe just a problem of software it s. But if so and the problem doesn´t want to go further, then you have a huge problem and your next step will be to put your machine to an authorized service partner. Why?

    Because if so, then you would have probably a hardware problem and you won´t be able to fix it yourself. The explanation is pretty simple and easy...

  • Video hardware does not work on the Satellite A100

    I have a satellite A100 and since my laptop has crashed by using Windows Movie maker videos do not play properly. Windows Vista has identified the problem as a video hardware error and after updating the driver BIOS and nVida as it says, it still does not work. Oddly enough, it works very well on Quicktime, but not Windows Media Player. I would be very grateful if someone get to help resolve me this problem.

    Hello

    installed a codecpack? Because how you describe this problem, it seems it s a pure software thing. If it works with Quicktime then Don t you have hardware problems.

    So, try the following:
    Google for "codecpack vista" and install it. Give feedback if it worked, otherwise you have to look any further...

    Hey Buddy

    Today, it's lucky day you ;)
    Why?

    I have a solution for you.
    The ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ error message due to an old version of the BIOS.

    It should Flash the newest BIOS with compatible BIOS which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    See also this thread:

    It describes the same problem and it confirms that a BIOS update should help.

  • Fn key/multi-media keys do not work on the Satellite A100-VA9

    This laptop came with Vista.
    I however don't like Vista too, so I installed my XP (dual system boots).
    Now, I have tried all the XP drivers for my model of website of toshiba and still can't find the driver for the Fn key and multimedia keys. Need help...

    Hello
    About the FN keys you need to install the XP BIOS do FN keys work in XP without the Flashcards. If the keys multimedia won´t work since there is no available XP driver.

  • Impossible to get PRTSCR DEL + keys to work on the Satellite A100

    I have the Satellite A100 - 232 PSAA2E. Bought in Greece... If some of the keys have a second role - for Greek letters. Especially not a problem.

    However... I can't get led (top-right) to work and same (3buttons on the left led) the print. Is there a setting to change or is there another way to remove and print screen?

    Your ad is somewhat confusing. Satellite A100 is pretty old laptop so I do not understand how you have this problem now.

    Everything was ok in the past?

    As far as I know you can change the keyboard input language, but this has nothing to do with DEL or PRINT key features.

  • 2.60 BIOS does not work on the Satellite A200 - 22 c

    Hi all

    I made the mistake to Flash my old bios Satellite A200 - 22 c (PSAE6E) to the new version 2.60.

    As I did this, the keyboard does not work on the bios screen, so I am unable to manage anything in the BIOS.

    When Windows Vista 32B starts the first time, the keyboard does not work. If I close the session and then I it again, it works correctly.

    The touchpad is lost and I need to use a USB mouse. Is not a pilot cause problem, all the drivers are updated and are working properly.

    The question is: why Toshiba didn't allow users to download the old version of the BIOS? ¿WHERE or who do I contact to get the original BIOS? Why do the flashing utility make a backup of the OLD BIOS and then does not give you the ability to recover it?

    Please, help me to recover the original BIOS to retrieve my keyboard and my touchpad because I can´t find any message or anything like that to get in touch with the technical support of this web site.

    Thank you!

    Which version was old BIOS?

    By the way: you can contact Toshiba. They have access to the Archives of BIOS and they can provide you with older version of BIOS.

    Hello

    What cell phone do you have?

    I imagine that your laptop comes with XP and now want to use it with Vista OS.
    Please note that you should install the Package Toshiba Vista value added to use all the features of the laptop.
    Very important is the pilot of common components and the TOSHIBA Flash Cards.
    The Flashcards provides the Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the Hotkey function.
    Please reinstall!

    The additional touchpad functionality must be configured first.
    This can be done in the control panel-> mouse

    Here, you should look for the touchpad settings and able to configure touchpad again scroll areas.

  • Driver Chicony webcam does not work on the Satellite A200-13O

    After the misfortune that occurred to my webcam, I tried to fix it by uninstalling the driver and then put it back in place (by the toshiba Web site).
    I did this twice and it does not work,
    allthought the pc installed the driver, the camera was not working because a file was for win95 and my pc has vista.

    After several reboots, I made the following
    -Start
    -all programs
    -camera assistant software
    -Right click
    -options (the last button in the right click menu...)
    -compatibility
    -Select work in win95 compatibility
    -ok
    Sorry for my English, I am Greek and my menu vista also... :))
    If anyone wants more details please to contact me.
    I hope this could help those in despair...

    Hello

    Yes I would like some details;).

    For example: manufacturer who is the camera, it is built, made, he has worked previously, and so on...

    So there is a lot to say, have you ever said to the second part, but I'm missing a few things as I've described above. By the way: you can try to recover your machine, if you really need on your camera, but it is really the LAST RESORT.

    Hello

    From my experience not every disc is compatible with your laptop. It depends on the master / slave / parameters c - salt.
    The settings on the disks online slim for laptops is not editable as on desktop drives by putting the jumper.
    The thin line command does not support riders, and so the firmware controls the settings.

    But dnf666 already replaced the drive on sat 5200 and maybe your favorite player might be compatible
