• Equium A100 - 147 PSAABE - Win7 PVAT error

  Hello all, I hope someone can help.

  My A100-147 was supplied with XP as an operating system. I just did a clean install of Win7 Professional 32-bit. All necessary system drivers have been installed the disk during installation, with the exception of the Flash Media, as there was no Win 7 drivers listed for her [here: http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi nes & action = search & teddProduct = 695 & selShortMod = 476]

  I installed a 32-bit driver Vista 2.0.0.6 - IEC (FA-20070709130655) which works very well.

  Everything is good so far but my problem is I cannot adjust the brightness of the screen and the function keys (Fn + F6, etc.) do not work. I thought the Toshiba Value Added Package 1.2.40 would fix this but I get an error when I try to install it. Installation error PVAT. 0x8146045B I also tried the plu PVAT 1.2.28 but she also creates errors.

  So any advice on how to get my Fn buttons work would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  It's always a bit difficult to get an old books with new BONE. I checked the Toshiba download page and many drivers, tools and utilities are available for your laptop model.

  According to my experience of software (such as 0x8146045B) errors is not easy to fix, and I got it long with Toshiba power saver. Only way to get rid of it was to reinstall OS and reinstall all the stuff.
  What you can try is to clean the registry entries, but I know if this will help.

  There is one very important thing: drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in order for the proper installation. Unfortunately there is no such list but try to install more to my list of things I could ve used to install Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300:

  -Win7
  -chipset driver
  -Storage Manager
  -display driver
  -driver sound
  -modem driver
  -utility supervisor
  -infrared
  -patches
  -configfree
  -VAP
  Hardware - Toshiba
  Control - HDMI
  -WLAN driver
  -Toshiba assist
  -Card reader
  Driver Webcam-
  Driver - Synaptics

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Equium A100-147: cannot install Vista because of startup configuration problem

  Equium A100-147 (Windows MCE) bought compatible Vista and bought my promised copy of Vista... used Toshiba step by step DVD ROM upgrade and also updated the Bios.

  Tried to load Vista Home Premium and after going through all the steps, it came with this message...
  «Could not update the computer startup configuration - installation cannot go ahead «...»»

  How should I proceed and what is useful to load Vista.
  Thanks in advance for any help.
  Considers that Howard.

  Hello

  How have you tried to install vista on the laptop?
  Have you tried to switch the MCE to Vista or were you running the new clean install of Vista?

  In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation. Don t updated the existing MCE of Vista.
  In such cases, you can join different installation problems

  If you are an owner of an original MS windows XP CD try to run the console of your windows XP CD recovery.
  Demarrer start from the CD at startup, and then press R to access the recovery console after loading the driver.

  In the recovery console, typefixbootand then restart your laptop.
  Then insert your Vista installation and restart.

  This should solve your problem.

• Equium A100-147 - deleted CD/DVD drive

  I uninstalled the readers of DVD/CD ROM of my Equium A100-147 model PSAABE by mistake. How I can I restore it? I'm not very technical

  Hello

  It means that your CD/DVD drive is not more?
  Have you already checked the Device Manager if the drive is visible or not?

• Equium A100-147: I get an error during the recovery procedure

  Hi again,

  I had trouble with my equium a100-147.
  I tried a restore, but the disc is scratched so I phoned in ESL and it snet me a new recovery image.

  I tried the new recovery disk and am now errors when I boot the disk.

  error is

  "internal error crc file: \WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB895200$\msdtctm.dl.

  any suggestions are welcome. get really annoyed with my machine as my warranty expired only one month

  Thank you

  Hmm... I studied a bit and it looks a bit like a malfunction of the partition.
  It would be desirable to boot from the original CD of Microsoft XP and to start the repair console.
  Then you could try these various commands which help to repair the boot manager, repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information.

  -fixboot
  -fixmbr
  -bootcfg /rebuild
  -chkdsk /r

  If this does not help, you should erase the entire partitions and must format the HARD drive in NTFS file system. Then access the BIOS and set it to the default value.
  Once this procedure tries to start again on the new recovery CD!

  Good bye

• Equium A100-147 replacement hard drive

  Hello

  I got a toshiba Equium A100-147 by a friend. The only problem is that it comes without a hard drive, because he still destroyed his old hdd to protect its personal and professional data.

  I saw in a local computer store a disk sata hard very good price for only? Â £38 it's a 160 GB w Digital Scorpio 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache S - ATA HDD laptop someone knows if it will work or this laptop does it work-specific hdd?

  Looking forward to any help you guys can give

  Hello

  Of course you need a compatible HARD drive.
  There are two different standards of HARD drive. SATA and IDE

  You need the HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think the original HARD drive was 100 GB.
  So a 120 GB and maybe a 160 GB SATA HDD should also be compatible.

  As far as I know the HARD drive slot was placed at the bottom of the unit and a screw secures the plastic cover.
  It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and I think that the details could be found in the user manual.

  I downloaded and installed all the drivers that I needed on my Equium A100-147, but not working no driver Lan (ethernet).

  I tried both types of drivers Toshiba download (and a few others also), that should work... but unfortunately, it does not.

  I'd be happy if someone could help me. Thanks anyway.

• Equium A100-147 - sound devices do not work correctly

  I've owned an Equium A100-147 for only less than a year.

  The problem I have is that if I put pressure on the area around the left speaker (where is the VGA port) there is a substantial "cracking" / rattling noise. The right does not exhibit this problem.

  The other day with a same case design (model Satellite A), I got another PC Toshiba laptop and it seems to have a slightly stiffer construction quality.

  Is it worth getting it checked under warranty while I still have the warranty? Or am I just too picky?

  See you soon

  Interestingly enough, why you support on the area around the speakers. As far as I know the speakers are placed between the keyboard and display and keyboard there is no pressure to the speakers. Very strange method to test the functionality of the laptop! ;)

  In any case, you should contact the service because the speaker should be placed and fixed correctly.

• Equium A100-147 doesn't boot up - no display on screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-147. When I turn, I see as the light of the maximum but there is no display on the screen.
  I read on a previous thread on a similar model that this has been fixed by resetting the computer.
  I understand there is a possibility that there is a problem with the motherboard, but I remain optimistic that a manual-reset would work.

  Is someone can you please tell me how this can be done?

  You can try this procedure simple and short;

  -Remove the battery from the laptop
  -disconnect 3rd external devices and adapter
  -leave the laptop for about 20-30 min
  -then reconnect battery and AC adapter

  If the portable fuel after this procedure, then your have a serious hardware problem and only the ASP can help you.

  I don t want to make a statement on the possible faults, because it of always hard to say what's wrong exactly, but it looks a bit like a motherboard problem.

• USB 2.0 Bluetooth DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED - Equium A100-147

  Hi all!!!

  I have posted b4 about my problems of BT, but still no further forward.

  I have a 2.0 usb toggle universl BT, my last worked well until it broke.

  Since I had xp pro installed, but my USB does not recognize my rocking do not even have a pop up? any ideas.

  When I plug it 3 fast Dong

  Unplug and made 2 Dong

  I tried to install the drivers usb, but nothing.

  do my head now... Please someone help me resolve this issue!

  As far I know Equium A100-147 doesn t support the internal BT module and so if it was not equipped with the BT Toshiba stack.

  If you use an external 3rd party module BT, then you should check if there are drivers designed specially for this external BT dongle.

  Also, check if the BT dongle would be recognized in the Device Manager.
  If there is no dongle BT listed in the list of devices, then remove all controllers and hubs of UBS in the list and restart the device.
  After rebooting again Win XP should initialize the USB ports again and then you try to plug the dongle BT again.

  Good luck

• Equium A100-147 - Native resolution on the external LCD display does not work

  Hello

  My Equium A100-147 has 1 VGA and 1 S-Video output, so I use the VGA output on an external LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050@60hz, but integrated graphics Intel 945 card doesn t give me the correct resolution to choose for this monitor, the closest is 1600 x 1200 and some weird widescreen resolutions other that make my monitor see the scaling an ugly picture.

  So I tested another external monitor with a native resolution of 1920 x 1200 resolution closest gave me Intel drivers is 1920 x 1080, even the installation of two drivers of monitors, remove and reinstall the driver and same formatting the machine and reinstall everything from scratch gave no different results.

  I have another laptop MSI Wind with the same graphic card built in and the same version of the pilot, and the laptop detects both the monitor and the good resolutions for them, this isn't a problem of Monitor driver.

  Seems to me that is a problem with the S-video output, which makes this mess, but there is no way to disable it in the BIOS or any other place in Device Manager I still seem.

  Can someone give me some advice for what can do?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  You cannot choose the preferred resolution because the graphics chip does not support this external resolution or the installed graphics driver is not contained in this resolution. The two cases are possible.

  If you want to know if your graphic chip supports this resolution and then take a look at the user manual and check it.

  If the chip of the graphics card would support this resolution and you will not be able to choose, then that would mean that the graphics driver does not support this resolution.

  But first he must find out what external resolutions are supported by the GPU.

• Upgrade of RAM Equium A100-147

  Hi, I have an Equium A100-147 with the standard of 1 GB of RAM (512 MB + 512 MB pc-4200) professional XP.

  I'd like to update, and I was wondering if it would be allowed to replace one of the 512 MB sticks with a single stick of 2 GB pc-5300. RAM would be then 2 GB pc-5300 plus 512 MB pc-4200 = 2.5 GB in total.

  Or would it be better to buy 2 x 1 GB sticks of pc-5300 and sell or discard existing memory?

  I see a significant speed increase over the existing configuration of the Ram?

  All advice appreciated.

  Thank you.

  I agree with Akuma, it would be better to use 2 x 1 GB modules.

  This combination with 2 GB and 512 MB with different (PC4200 and PC5300) specifications could make problems like freezing, BSOD, etc..

  At present, the price of memory is very cheap, so I think that this should not be a problem.

• Equium A100-147: can not play games becauce slow DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A100-147. I tried many games on my laptop which should conform to the specifications required for example battlefield 2, however, these games does not work and I didn't know why. I then realized that all the games I tried were all on 4 DVD-ROM drive demanding x, and the specifications I provided with my laptop did not specify what kind of DVD player, I had another super multi layer or something.

  It is while I tried the games that were demanding CD-ROM which all worked fine, I then tried a game that was 2 x DVD ROM demanding that worked apart from a small problem with models of characters not displayed, so I took back defective. Then I tried a 1 x DVD-ROM game that worked perfectly.

  Today, I decided to get my DVD specifications, where I found that my laptop should read 8 x DVD - ROM drives.
  So my question is, is my defective DVD player for not playing more than 1 x DVD - ROM games? And can I contact Toshiba or my provider for repair or replacement or my problem would be something else?

  Thank you, Josh

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop was delivered with the drive UJ - 841S and the drive supports 8 x DVD-ROM.
  Of course, there must be something wrong if the drive cannot read DVD-ROM media at full speed. The middle is not supported or the drive malfunctions

  What you can do is search for the update of the firmware. Many laptops come with the same drive. See the categories of driver and, possibly, there is a new update of the firmware.

  You can also try to remove the physical drive from the laptop and reboot the device without the drive. Then turn off the appliance, install the drive again and the boot upward.
  The laptop must initialize the firmware again and maybe this will help

  But it seems you notebook is not very old and the warranty is valid. If you need to contact the ASP in your country for more details and possibly for disc replacement
