• Satellite A100: How do I enable SATA NATIVE mode

  Hello, my laptop Satellite A100 PSAA9 and the southbridge is an ICH7M
  I put an SSD in my laptop and the drive controller is locked-> Ultra DMA 6 IDE compatible mode.
  I would switch to the native SATA-1 to increase the bandwidth (from 110 MB/s-150), but I can't find any setting so that, in the last BIOS 6.00

  I think that maybe in the past, Toshiba has enable this feature, but I suppose they might have turned it off for beginners who don't know how to install the SATA drivers during the installation of Windows.

  I found Toshiba BIOS database, but it is locked by a password.
  I'm willing to test any BIOS that could re - enable native SATA mode

  + The message was edited: link has been removed - unauthorized +.

  Hello

  You need the native SATA controller?

  The laptop was equipped with a controller SATA interface supports the Serial ATA Rev. 1. 0a.

  Some laptop models take a BIOS that contains a SATA mode option.
  This option can be changed on AHCI or in compatibility mode.

  But as far as I know a100 BIOS does not contain these settings

• Unable to connect by Satellite 1410 604 to WLAN when enabled WEP in

  Hello!

  Well, all I was looking for this forum, but I was not able to find what is happening with this computer.

  News of the laptop:

  Toshiba Satellite
  Model: 1410-604
  Installed wireless network adapter:
  Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card
  Texas Instruments PCI-1410 CardBus Controladora

  From what I could find so far (the laptop is not mine, I'm helping a friend to get solved this problem) this card supports the standard 802.11/b. This should not be a problem, because the A / P supports 802. 11b standard.

  Anyway, there is absolutely no way to get the laptop connected to the WLAN...

  Or, to be more correct: it does not connect to the WLAN when WEP encryption is enabled (WEP or WPA give the same thing: it seems to get connected, but never address IP of DHCP), but this drug is going very well, if I turn off the WEP encryption.

  The worst is that the installed drivers don't support almost any configuration. Advanced configuration supports the following:

  1. the station name
  2 channel
  3 speed transmission
  4. power management card

  In addition, the card doesn't have any network manager (as others have, where it is possible to adjust some settings and ensure that WEP is used properly).

  I don't know what is happening here. I wasn't able to get the card working in Windows XP and or in LINUX (knoppix, ubuntu and xubuntu I tried).

  I'm starting to think that this has to do with the card and it is the inability to work under encriptación WEP or WAP (it works OK in open WLANs), and I do not see how to solve this problem.

  It seems that there are no newer drivers than what I (downloaded at Toshiba),
  I don't know if an update of the BIOS, will probably not solve.

  The card is maybe just too old... but if I'm not wrong... It should work. Shouldn't it?

  All ideas are absolutely our guests!

  Best regards

  Hello

  It seems that this map was made by Agere (it comes to WLan driver appearing on the Toshiba page).
  The INF file provides a few details and the driver appear to come from v7.42.0.300 19/12/2001

  However, the encryption WEP or WAP is features material and if the equipment (WLan card) does not support this then an update of the driver would not help you!

  But what you might check is the option in the Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> Advanced tab
  Usually, there is all necessary settings and if the encryption would be supported then you should find it there.

  If this doesn't help then I advise you to buy a USB WLan stick who favour more recent ciphers

• Satellite A100-237 / PSAA9 - how to enable AHCI (SATA Native mode)?

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A100 - 237 (PSAA9) and I would like to activate the AHCI (SATA Native mode). But in the BIOS there is no settings as AHCI or SATA mode.

  Is it possible to enable it in any other way (hidden fixing, utility sw)? Or only new special BIOS for this update (I have the latest 5.90) can solve this problem?

  Thank you for the answers.

  No response for the last 5 days. Of course, there is no special hidden parameter or BIOS. ;)

  As far as I know that there is no hidden settings and also no special BIOS. If something like that exists perhaps for technicians and non-public use.

• Satellite A100 - sound input control Enable - Realtek drivers

  Hello!

  I've already read about it in this forum, but I can't find the thread more. So, you have 2 options: try to help me, or link me to this thread. THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!

  I have a * Satellite A100-158, with Realtek HD sound card * (I think...), and have the following problem: * I can´t hear on speakers/headphones/output line wathever in online * (iPod, bass guitar, microphone,...), after the upgrade to Vista Ultimate. I have levels and I record, but no line output signal. I tried activation monitor entry in the windows registry, and I have a button beside the microphone for the speaker properties level. I click on this button (a little snack...) and nothing happens. I also tried to uninstall the sound card and tried to install the drivers for Realtek HD soundcard (directly from the Web to Realtek site). I managed to install from windows safe mode reboot, but I can't have no option (Realtek Audio Manager on Control Panel). So, I can't seem to properly install the drivers (or Toshiba Web site, sound).
  Now I don't really know if this is a bug/problem Realtek or Vista.

  I'm a little despair, because I don't like the Vista operating system, and I need the laptop to study/record bass guitar.

  Thank you all for the support!

  You are 100% sure that this laptop supports an audio line-in port?
  As far as I know that there is only a helmet and an available microphone port!

  I checked a few websites and did not find t any info about an audio input port.

  In any case, I have an A210 laptop with Realtek sound card.
  The Stereo Mix, which is necessary if you want to save an audio stream to a Web site has been disabled. I could enable it to:
  Control Panel-> Sound-> registration-> right click-> devices see off brand.
  Then check and then a stereo mix should appear and you can set it up again.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 - buttons on the touchpad enabled without clicking

  I have a laptop pretty old (Satellite A100).
  My touchpad is upward - the left keeps activating button that no one touch.
  Is there something specific I should do to fix this?

  So, I agree with Akuma parts needs to be replaced.

• Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

  Hi all!

  I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

  What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
  Thank you!

  You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

  But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
  I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

  That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)

• Satellite A100-332 & Orange/Wanadoo livebox

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop Satellite A100-332 as an upgrade of an old book. I seem to have real problems with the new laptop and the Orange/Wanadoo livebox. Here's the situation:

  As well the old laptop running a card PCMCIA Wifi 802 11 b/g and my desktop computer running a PCI Wifi card have no problem at all to connect to and use of the livebox. The livebox is running with WEP security enabled, as well as the built-in mac filter.
  With the Toshiba laptop, I see the Livebox in the list of available wireless connections, but whenever I try to connect to it, she has real problems. I checked all the basic things like 'is the correct WEP key' and 'it using the appropriate channel,' and of course 'is active wifi on the laptop. It gets to the point where, if you use Windows Zero Configuration (I also tried this process several times with Toshiba Wifi tools), it is said he tries to get an IP address, and then it of just there and never really connects.

  Please can anyone advise as to what this may be? Are there drivers wifi update for this model of laptop I maybe need to install which could 'fix' it? Is that someone else, or someone else had problems with this laptop and the livebox?

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Concerning
  Bob

  Hello

  I checked the advanced search option in the WLAN category with terms Orange Livebox and many topics are listed. Of course many users with different laptops models have the same problem as you.

  See these topics. Maybe you will find something interesting and useful.

• Satellite A100-998: mono/stereo mix not available under Vista

  Windows Vista and the Microsoft default value "High definition Audio Device" driver (automatically selected and installed by Setup of Vista), no recording device is listed with the exception of the Microphone, Line In, CD Audio, as in this screenshot of the A100-998 in question:
  http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1981/a100998jp6.PNG

  No new Mix or record Waveout options of the device, which means that you can not, for example, doesn't record audio stream on the Internet. I tried the latest drivers from Realtek HD Audio for Vista (30/11/2006 R1.52). No change. Is there a way/driver to enable this as in other Windows Vista machines.

  Is also the audio material in the A100-998 "Vista Premium Ready" with the specifications set out in the http://www.optimalsound.net/?

  It's the third disappointment. The first two were that he has not delivered with the announced NVIDIA GF7400 (came to the square with 7300) and the second is that the hard drive is 4200 RPM (instead of the advertised 5400).
  The third issue is the audio issue detailed above.

  Here is a solution I found, but it is not free (costs $US28.20) and requires users to manually switch the "playback devices" each time that they execute it:
  http://www.NCH.com.au/SoundTap/index.html
  Unlike other programs like Audacity which are based on the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix as their sound source (and so do not work in this case), NCH SoundTap installs its own virtual driver and is therefore able to record everything you hear through your speakers in Windows Vista without the need for Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix. "All the sound elements are"typed"by a pilot virtual directly in the kernel, so the process is perfect digital quality."

  However, it would be better that Vista Realtek/Toshiba/Microsoft "High definition Audio Device" driver is updated to include the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix (under "recording devices"), so that programs that rely on it are broken. SoundTap can do on Vista means that it is not a hardware limitation.

  PS new Vista sound effects as Loudness equalization, Room Correction, Bass Management and Virtual Surround are already supported in the current drivers Vista (the driver from Realtek v1.52 and that by default by Microsoft) in Satellite A100-998.

• Satellite A100-233: can I use the WiFi for the Peer to Peer network?

  Hello
  Me & my friend have Satellite A100-233, we cannot have network even see ourselves at the TOP unless we are in place contain the wireless Internet Modem.
  If we cannot make network peer-to-peer between us using WiFi?

  I hope you can help!
  Thank you

  Hello

  I don't know if I understand your question, but you want to connect two laptops via the WLan. Am I wrong?
  Well, this type of network connection is called Ad hoc.

  Choose Start-> settings-> network connections, and then click the local network connection you want to share. On the left side of the screen under the management of the network, click on "change settings of this connection. Under the Advanced tab, under Internet connection sharing, check the box "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's Internet connection".
  There is also a check box to allow other users to enable or disable the Internet connection, if you are so inclined. If your network doesn? t need to access to the Internet, you can skip this paragraph.

  The host system must also be configured with an Ad Hoc network connection and a Set Service identify (SSID). Right-click on the wireless icon in the system tray and choose "view wireless networks". Do NOT yet connect to any wireless network that could appear in the box. Click the Advanced button. This will bring up the Properties window of wireless with the wireless networks tab at the front. Click the Advanced Options button at the bottom right of this tab, select the option "networks from computer to computer (ad hoc) only". Make sure that the box "Auto connects to the non preferred networks" is NOT checked. Click the close (once) button to return to the wireless network tab.
  Under preferred network, click Add. You now need a SSID for this machine, which is actually the name it will use to announce themselves to the other members of the ad hoc wireless network.

• Satellite A100-813 - Express media buttons no longer work after XP install

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A100 - 813 (PSAA8E). After you have reinstalled the operating system (XP), it's on purpose media buttons do not work. I don't have a recovery CD express media when I bought it. When I checked in the Toshiba Web site, it is not available.

  Please give me a solution.
  Concerning
  Prasanth

  Hello

  For these special buttons, you must install the tools of Toshiba. Did you check that?

  On the Toshiba site I founded the document setup instructions for your laptop and XP. It is a list for recommended order of installation of drivers.
  This means that you will also install Toshiba common Modules, Hotkey Utility, enabling/disabling Touchpad utility, utilities, etc.

• Re: Windows Vitual PC with Satellite A100-906

  Hello

• Satellite A100 is locked because of the fingerprint BIOS & user password

  Hi all

  I have my A100 to my work, recognition of the TouchChip fingerprint a year ago. On initial installation, I recorded my fingerprint of the windows interface.
  Six months ago I had to reinstall windows XP due to infection by the virus that is not repairable. I have installed Windows XP Home edition and downloaded all the drivers and additional software from Toshiba's site.

  I him didn't record again my fingerprints, and I have NOT activated the TouchChip software this time. My problem was only an annoying message at the time the sign that said «you have not saved your fingerprint again...» "and that's it.
  After a 2 week out of town trip (My A100 was locked in my office, and powered OFF - no connection to the sector) at first start, software TouchChip is back from the dead!

  Screen 'TouchChip Bios Extension' appeared after plugging, and my finger is required to load WXP!
  When connecting user WXP dialogue the additional message "you have not saved your fingerprint again... is always here, but I cannot start the machine without my fingerprint." After some digging later in PowerProtector (?) I found an option that says 'enable or disable the use of fingerprints for system and user password BIOS' or something like that.

  I turn this off, and the machine asked to reboot. It was the last time I saw the office.
  After reboot, the system asks password. BUT I DID NOT PUT ANY SYSTEM OR USER PASSWORD!
  Is this possible?
  I did something wrong?
  What is the solution?
  I'm locked out; I don't know why and how the BIOS is locked with a password (so I can't unlock it).
  Please someone help.

  Best regards, Georgios

  I don't know what exactly A100 computer laptop you have, but it seems that the laptop came with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

  You have installed XP and drivers XP only from the Toshiba page.
  But from my understanding, the BIOS should be updated too! The Satellite A100 series supports a special XP BIOS version. If the BIOS was not updated the laptop might not run correctly.

  I don't know if it could have a negative influence on the fingerprint, but nothing is impossible!
  However, the fact is that the BIOS asks for the password. If you don't know this, you need to remove the other... and this can be done by a service provider authorized in your country.

  Request assistance from technicians and explain the whole story! Maybe they will remove the password for free!

  Bye and good luck

• WiFi seems to block certain websites on Satellite A100

  I have a Satellite A100 laptop with an Intel pro/wireless 3954ABG card. I connect to a Netgear DG834N modem-router. No problem with the connection, but some sites, including Google, will never connect. I say never, but actually just occasionally, rarely, they connect.

  If I connect to the router by cable, no problem at all. The laptop connected to the other routers and found all the sites with no problem.

  I tried to enter DNS servers directly on the laptop, but that did not help.

  Any ideas, anyone?

  Hello

  > The laptop was connected to other routers and found all the sites without problem

  According to this information, I can't believe that there could be something wrong with the laptop.
  Did you check the configuration of the router? I put t you know router configurations but on my router, I can enable and disable the firewall and change many settings for security.
  I think you should check it out.

  PS: If you can try to update the WLan card driver. For them, visit the Intel Web or Toshiba.

• Satellite A100-147: problem of Bluetooth with BT dongle for mobile devices

  Hi guys, take it easy because this is my 1st post.

  I see there are some problems with BT and yes I am here with problems too!
  I recently had to reinstall XP PRO due to a virus, I ve installed all my drivers and even tried the recommended download links but nothing.
  When I load a BT2stack (tried different install x 64 etc.) installation driver, it came with small BT symbol in the taskbar, but when I clicked to toggle the box was just 'grey' and cannot be enabled.

  I noticed the code BW on the underside of my lappy is slightly different, but the a, just do not know if it s compatible with its location in the code.

  Code ends with 15WBT/DS2/LM/W... This seems ok or am I Bluetooth less!

  Whatever it is, the strange thing is I ve it works ok in the past by a BT toggle was having taken in the usb port, no probs in the past using this with my cell phone, but on the purchase of a new (old we had stood on) one mini disc 'pilot', it came with comes up with "E:\ is not accessible" and my disc drive is ok! weird but my 1st rocking didn't come with a disk and the other the box "found the new device" came it was straight forward.

  Axious even now I need this facility to work.

  Please, if anyone has a simple step-by-step tutorial for me to follow then that would be great. I m obviously missing something, but all leads come to a dying.

  see you soon... pete!

  PS. do not operate my FN + F8 but F1 etc seem to just put me on another page on this site?

  I confirm the information published by Blue2S.
  Satellite A100-147 was NOT equipped with the Bluetooth module!

  So you can not activate because there is NO BT!
