• Satellite Pro A100: Keys to self-retaining post-split alcohol to the keyboard

  Hello

  I recently shared Jack Daniels in my keyboard and now some of the keys have become
  sticky - is anyway to jump keys on clean them?

  My laptop is a Satellite Pro A100

  Thanks in advance,

  Matt

  The key - caps are loose enough easy, you know how they are attached to the base.
  Please be very gentle when you try it, especialy on your first key.

  You will just need to lift the key (perhaps using your nails) of the left and right of the key,... a few seconds later, he's going to jump on you.

  You can build your own tool, too. This is how the dedicated tool looks like:

  Please keep in mind that some keys like SPACEBAR are very sensitive and have a slightly different mechanism.
  Oh yes, one more thing. Please don't blame me if you break something... I've seen people hammering on their keyboard to remove dirt and were angry after they broke something.

  Best regards

  Good luck

  PS Lucky it was just of Jack Daniels, Bacardi would be worse :D

• Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

  Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

  1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
  2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

  Thanks in advance
  Best regards
  Christian

• Satellite Pro A100 - recovery mode sleep with keyboard or media remote

  Hi guys

  I have devoted my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center which is located under the TV and can play media network and DVD etc..
  It is using Vista.

  I want to set up, is that the lid is closed 24/7 365 days and when I want to use I just press "SLEEP" or power button on the remote control or the keyboard and it fires up ready for action.

  POINT TO THE NOTE. I did it successfully with my OLD Tecra M3. However, was too slow for vista and media center

  However, I put the power settings I want etc, close the cover nothing and activated standby hybrid (favorite sleep).

  Now I CAN put it to sleep with the remote control or the multimedia keyboard. BUT I can wake up?... NO!. I thought about everything... went to the Device Manager and made sure that all the options for the remote control and keyboard and USB receiver are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake up it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it sitting there like a dvd player.

  awake when the remote control and keyboard function very well - I made sure that the batteries are charged.
  I have the latest version of the BIOS and speaking of BIOS there is no option power S3 I noticed, but then there were not on the M3 and it worked very well in terms of sleep and wake up with the IR.

  I come to the forum because even though I know that some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I'm sure that the A100 twice as new and powerful.

  Has anyone had this before - that I missed it must look me in the face.

  Thanks in advance.

  PS Also lately the touchpad played upward IE left and right clickers Exchange feature so one second your work as normal the next minute you click left and right clikc menu appears. Reset the synaptic reinstalled - rebuilt - BIOS - no difference.

  When I worked in management for a large company when it started happening was not good news - it's a bad news?

  Hello

  I m not very well why it doesn t on your Satellite Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
  But the fact is that the Satellite Pro A100 doesn t support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
  Tecra M3 supports the fast infrared port.

  Maybe this could be the reason why you can not activate the laptop using the infrared remote control multimedia.

• Satellite Pro A100/P100 - compatibility touchpad

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 and I saw pictures and videos on the internet of people have these keyboards LCD that illuminate blue and have shortcuts but only touchpads I can find like that correspond to the P100 and ino models some of the parties each other as I was ve documented but I can t can't find if the touchpads do or not but I think that s what other people I saw someone do any ideas?

  Thank you to

  Hello

  The two models of laptops are old enough, is not easy to find some useful information on this subject. I remember that some P100/A100 and A200/P200 / X 200 models were offered with these keyboards.

  I m not a technician but I think these keyboards with keys have two cables must be connected to the motherboard and keys touchpad without buttons have a flat cable only.
  (I also believe that models with and without this touchpad have different numbers) model numbers) so it is possible that they have different mothers.

  What you need is a professional help with this. I mean, if possible, try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can check the specification for your laptop model but also data base for all hardware components of portable.

  They may be able to help you with this.

• Satellite Pro A100 PSAASE: How to get the FN keys work in Win XP

  Hey,.

  I bought the PSAASE Satellite Pro A100-00H004GR and killed Win Vista. Now it's Windows XP Pro!

  There is no Win XP Modem drivers on the Toshiba Page for this model, but I solved this problem by myself.
  But now my Fn keys/keyboard shortcut does not work and I have no idea what to do. I've tried Hotkey utility of the other models, but it does not work.

  No idea what to do now?

  Full Support of driver for each model would be great...

  Thank you

  Hi I found the usefulness of Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3 shortcut keys.
  It is not the same series, but try to install it. Maybe it will work!

• 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

• Coke spilled on Satellite Pro A100 - black screen & flashing light

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro A100, and this morning my daughter spilled coke top.
  It was not much and it only seems to be on the top of the screen (as the laptop was closed)

  However it was a bit on the keyboard and when I opened it it seemed to be a crackling sound from speakers?
  I turned off and unplugged the power outlet and it was built next to the radiator for the last 4 hours,
  I tried it again now and it started, there were still crackling and then the screen went black, but the 'on' will Flash blue, the capslock flashes as are the other two on the keyboard.

  Is it buggered or is there anything i can do to fix it?

  Any help would be apprciated.

• 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. ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100: XP says RAM 192Mo, utility Tosh says 256 MB

  My recent purchase of an A100 was supposed to be with 256 MB of RAM - but XP does not see. He sees only 192 MB. The utility Toshiba said that there is 256MB. How to get them to agree?

  Hello

  Some of the Satellite Pro A100 units were shipped with ATI RADEON Xpress 200 M graphics card shared memory.
  This graphics card uses part of the main memory.
  As Michael suggested the Toshiba utility shows the memory full value and XP only shows the difference.
  As far as I know, you can change the value in the properties of the graphics card.

• Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

  Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot. I press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!
  Close for any help.

  It's a scream! :_| : O

  This looks like a damage ROM module!
  How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

  I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

  I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

• Satellite Pro A100 - where can I find the driver for ethernet controller?

  I recently changed my OS from Vista to XP and I'm not able to find a driver for the ethernet controller in my Satellite Pro A100 PSAAPE.

  Anyone know where I can get this driver from?

  Thank you!

  > I had already checked and cannot see the pilot
  I don't believe that. I checked the Toshiba download page, and you can see two LAN drivers for your model laptop.
  Install the latest version 9.2.24 and I think everything will be OK.

• Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
  Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

  Best regards

  Thor Hedderich

  Hello

  In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
  If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
  These hard drives are so cheap.

  Is that enough for you?
  Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

  The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
  -Remove the HARD drive cover
  -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
  -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

  I guess you know now how to put a new.
