Equium A100-027 - Audio Fuzz/Glitch/click (associate fan)

Hello

I've seen other forums indicating problems similar to this, but I'll explain the symptoms.
I have two problems, which I'm trying to fix.

1. the fan on this laptop seems to turn on and off every two minutes after that the laptop worked for more than 15-20 minutes. For the first 15-20 minutes of it being turned on, fan does not at all even if I open big programs or do a lot of things on it. However, once this time has been met, the fan runs for a few seconds before turning on. The fan starts to go on every few minutes and then it starts to go on a minute or two minutes. My room is not that hot, but I guess a very slight temperature in the room change can cause this? If I move the laptop to the bathroom-way where it is much cooler, the fan seems to go with less - however, I can not use the laptop in the middle of the room-way to stop the fan going on as well. The fan comes on everytime I open programs that are not very small, for example Notepad and paint loading required but fanless open Microsoft Word, Dreamweaver, FireFox, etc. to make the fan turns on for a few seconds. The fan seems to only up to last 5 seconds usually and I don't notice it stay on long, but the fact that it has come so often annoys me. I noticed typing in Dreamweaver design view do the fan turns on whenever I type. If I type a few letters, it turns on and shuts off when I'm done typing. If I keep typing for centuries, the fan remains on until I'm done. This probbaly due the high CPU Dreamweaver uses. I use Vista and the CPU is 50%, when I type in Dreamweaver, while typing on MSN or Word of the fan does not come on and the CPU is closer to 20-30% when entering and much lower when idle. I don't think it's to do with any hardware problem but I guess its just possible. Is it possible to keep it from happening as often as it does. Settings? External cooling method?

2. when the fan turns on and off every minute or so, I hear a glitch in the audio when I'm listening to music. I cannot hear sound when I listen to no music but all the minutes when you listen to music, I hear a light sleeping bag or a glitch in the audio for less than one second. It is very fustrating and I think that it is probably a hardware problem because my friend has the same laptop and does not know the glitch in his music. It was not the fan goes on and out often when her room is warmer than normal, but not too hot, so I guess that this laptop model or model range has sensitive fan but I am more concerned about the problem rather than the fan. I listen to music a lot on the laptop so if the problem was gone, the music could cover the fan goes on and outside most of the time, and I'd probably get used to the fan when I'm not listening to music. Glitch annoys me so much and I don't know what I have to do.

I sent the laptop to The Tech to look at Guys, but I don't know if they will be able to fix it or not. If I get it back and it's the same thing, I send to Toshiba that I rang them and they were happy to take the laptop too.

I was wondering, if they cannot solve the problem, they would replace the laptop for me - even if the policy of PCWorld 28 days elapsed. I think that they could, if I sent directly to Toshiba themselves, but I'm not sure.

If I change the settings on the laptop. He still overshadow the problem then it would be never fixed if it is put into service. He must really be physically fixed or replaced.

What do you think?
Any help and advice is much appreciated.

He's a guy very long history ;)
What say the cooling module parameters can be changed in the utility Toshiba Power Saver.
In the basic menu, you should find the cooling method option. This can be set for optimized, battery performance, etc.
I also recommend changing the speed of the CPU processing. Perhaps then you may notice some improvements

But you have already sent you unit to ASP hmmm I guess that the technician will locate the reason for this problem of fan and his glitch. If not sent directly to the Toshiba themselves

Your warranty is valid to worry Don t everything should be done for free

  • Equium A100-027 - speaker works intermittently

    Hello

    Has just developed a problem after my laptop Equium A100 - 027 for only two years.

    Speakers began to intermittently fail. They worked last Thursday and then for a short time Friday. rebooting when I started the PC this morning but have stopped working this afternoon.

    When I play a video (e.g. YouTube) there is no volume at all and yet when I open the volume mixer I see audio visibly displayed.

    Any ideas on what the fix should be?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    First of all, I would say you should test the helmet on the laptop. So you can determine if the problem is hardware related (internal speakers) or related software.

    And have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager?

    In addition, you should try to update the audio driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Moreover, what operating system you have?

    Good bye

  • Equium A100-027: unable to connect to D - LINK 514 router via WiFi with Vista

    I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY TOSHIBA EQUIUM A100-027 MOBILE TO CONNECT THE ROUTER D-LINK 514. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA ON MY LAPOP.

    I can't get the laptop to connect to my network using its internal wireless card. He's going to detect it but when I click on connect I am presented with "Windows cannot connect to the network.

    SOMEONE CAN ME SAY THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t think it is a hardware problem and therefore, you should check your access point and the configuration of the WLan card.
    Did you use a WLan encryption, Mac address filtering?
    If so, disable encryption on the WLan router and try to connect to the network without additional security settings.

    If it will work and you can successfully connect to the WLan and then the problem was caused by incorrect security settings.

    Please check!

  • Equium A100-027: after installing XP no sound

    After buying an Equium A100-027 with pre-installed Vista Home, I had to remove this in order to recharge with XP Pro SP2 to join to the domain of my company.

    Everything is installed properly and audio drivers are also present and work according to the Device Manager but no sound is heard. Also, I can't install the SRS Tru Surround driver because of the error message saying not supported on this computer.

    Post edited by: mike_kilby

    Hello

    Where did you download the XP drivers?
    Did you use the right method?

    For me it s a clear error message-> the driver cannot be installed because the phone does not support. You must use a compatible.

    Equium A100 is very similar to the Satellite A100. Try the drivers in this section and check the different versions

  • No sound on Equium A100-027 using Vista

    Hello
    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find an answer.
    My Equium A100 - 027 (PSAAQ) claims that the audio device is properly installed and works OK, but I can't get any sound from the speakers.

    I tried the latest sound card drivers from this site (and live RealTek) but without success.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The laptop uses a Realtek ALC861 audio chip.
    You need to install the realtek High Definition Audio Codecs on the site!

    The old driver should be removed first. Remove the sound from the Device Manager, and then after reboot again to install the new driver High Definition Audio Codecs!

    By the way; the DD Realtek Audio Manager should be found in the control panel.
    Check if the volume control has been set to a higher level!

  • Upgrading RAM and HDD on Equium A100-027

    Hello

    I have an Equim A100-027 and I already upgraded the two 512 MB to 2 GB 2 memory chips which is the maximum I can get?

    I've also already installed a hard drive over a 350GB one, but I'm looking to install a high - what is the maximum size that I could install? I guess that there must be a limit, but I was hoping that 750 GB to 1 TB would be OK.

    I appreciate all the answers - thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that 2 GB RAM ist the value of memory as possible which is supported by Equium A100-027 Mr. I have this chipset limitation.

    Upgrading the HARD drive must be possible from the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size.
    That's why I think that 750Go should be possible

    Please share the news with us after finishing these updates.

    Hello

    If I would like to raise the speed, which RAM modules would need? I also need a new graphic card, can I buy a graphics card or should it be some for my laptop?

    Hello

    in regard to your question upgrade:

    RAM-> you need 200 pin DDR2 RAM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

    Graphics-> update is not possible, because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard of your laptop, which means it s 'wired '.

    Please help - thanks!

    Hello

    Satellite A100-027 seems to be equipped with 1 GB of RAM (2 x512MB)
    If you are using Win Vista or Win 7 then it would be desirable to increase the RAM up to 2 GB.

    You can also disable some background process is not necessary.
    You can do it in msconfig-> Startup tab.

    > Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.
    Well, the cards Flash is a utility that controls the FN keys.
    Perhaps this tool needs to be reinstalled again.

    Visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download and reinstall the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    Good luck

  • Equium A100-027 - Question about the installation of Win 7:32-bit or 64-bit

    Hello

    I have an Equium A100-027
    I have just ordered an upgrade to 2 GB RAM and want to do a new install of WINDOWS 7 on Vista.

    Should I go for the 32-bit version or 64 - not sure if I need one over the other based on the processor?

    Thanks in advance

    David

    Hello

    Windows 7 32 bit supports max 3.2 GB of RAM
    In case you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB of RAM, I recommend to choose Windows 7 64-bit to be able to use all 4 GB of RAM

    The processor is an Intel Pentium T2060 that supports 32-bit but physical address Extensions is based on 32 bits, which allows x 86 processors to access more than 4 GB of physical memory

  • Equium A100-027 touchpad not responding

    I have an equium a100-027 and today the touchpad was funny.
    For example, I went to move and sometimes it wouldn't be no move, moved very little, or when he moved quickly moved to around to the same place that it was before.

    I assumed that maybe it's just that my computer has been used too much memory or something. But then later, it no longer responds. I restarted my computer and the same problem, it does not move.

    Before anyone suggests, I in fact checked all the settings for it. I know there is a shortcut (fn + f9) to turn it off.
    However, I already checked and it is activated.
    I am falling quickly with this computer, six months old and already had two problems with it.

    Anyone can suggest a way to solve this problem, or should he be returned to be repaired?

    If it must be returned, how should I do this?
    I bought of Dixons, and when I came down to them with my last number, they said they have no responsibility and I had to call "the tech guy".

    This ended up being A £1.50 tech support number overcharge, which I'm not call again.
    This laptop has only 6 months, clearly under warranty. I don't have to pay who knows how much on a phone call just to get it fixed.

    Sorry if this sounds like a hangover, just in a bad mood with this computer at the minute.
    Thanks for any help! =-)

    Hello

    I see that you're desperate. Sorry to hear this story.
    But before you send this laptop to any point of service, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    This procedure will put the laptop to factory settings!

    If the touchpad does not work after reinstalling new contact ASP in your country.
    The service provider authorized in your country will be able to help you and if your warranty is valid, everything must be done for free.

    I can't believe that the appeal could cost about £1.5 because it s a common phone number.

    If you want to find the ASP please check this:

  • Need information about HDD upgrade on Equium A100-027

    HI people :-)

    Can I change the HARD disk drive in my Equium a100 027 for one with a speed of 7200 RPM?

    If not what is the largest size of HARD drive I can put in?

    It is also useful to do a lot to make a dual boot with Vista and XP or get one with Vista and the other drive with XP

    Someone can also point me in the direction of the place where to buy the right type of player with the correct connection... its SATA I think

    Thanks in advance for your help

    In my opinion, you can use the HARD drive with the speed of 7200 RPM. I put t really see no reason why this should not be possible!

    It is important that you buy a HARD drive with the interface supported and the size of the HARD drive.

    You are right; Equium A100 supports SATA HDD interface.
    You must not use SATA and IDE hard drives!

    According to some internet sites, the laptop came with 80 GB HARD drive.
    I presume that you should be able to upgrade the 120 GB HARD drive, but this is just a suggestion because Toshiba does not have any official information on the maximum size of HARD drive.

    Best regards

  • Equium A100-027: could not find the drivers for Windows XP

    Hello
    I bought an equium A100-027 and, because of my work, I want to use a personal OS XP - Pro, I bought the retailer 2006 Microsoft.
    The problem is that XP installs successfully, but I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba Download Page.
    The laptop TYPE is witch PSAAQE is not listed. I tried to use the drivers provided by other series A100 PSAAxxx but XP does not accept. I managed only with the Intel graphics driver... How can I do?
    I sent a mail to support Toshiba in France and they redirect me to the download page of drivers even DO NOT contain any driver for my laptop... (it does not appear there).
    It is mandatory for me to use XP - Pro, because we use it for industrial automation, so I can't use Vista! seriously, I bought a PC that do not work on XP?

    Best regards

    Hello

    You re right. I also checked the site and don't find your notebook in the series.
    Hmm you have tested other drivers Equium A100 series but also check the Satellite A100 series pilots.
    The Equium A100 Satellite A100 and very similar specifications and possibly some drivers will also work on yours.

    Toshiba Canada also provides different drivers. Take a look at this page:
