• Alarm of battery low battery/criticism on Equium A100-027

  I bought an Equium A100-027 running on Vista Home Premium this Feb. Since then, I installed some software, for example a software phone Nokia, bluetooth, Virus-A drivers & all updates from Ms.

  When the battery is low or critical, I get no sound alert, despite this option checked in the Advanced Power Options settings and using the template to default sounds Win.

  The card sound & speakers work certainly I get sound notifications of Win and can play CDs, etc.

  Is there a driver/software that can be reinstalled to get this working again as system restore would only let me go back a month.

  Thanks for any help,
  Markus

  Hello

  I saw your post before, and I understand that you need help.
  I can give you the following suggestion:

  -Updated to the latest version of the bios. (Check this site out: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp?service=EU&mode=allMachines)

  -Pick up your machine and update all THE drivers/tools/etc, but before installing some 'foreign' software, check if the "beep" is working properly (for things like go here):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp)

  -Install other software (Nokia Manager, etc.) and check after each newly installed software, if it still works. If after you install specific software, the "beep" doesn´t work anymore, then you know where the installation problem and you have some good software troubleshooting. ;)

  If you have questions: just after :)

• 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.

  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

• Question about updating map of RAM and graphics on Equium A100-027

  Hello
  I have an Equium A100-027 with 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512MB modules)
  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 '.

  That's all

• Two issues of Vista on my Equium A100-027

  My HARD drive crashed, so I bought a new 1 and installed with Vista
  Thing is that Vista will not accept the key that is located on the underside of my Equium A100 - 027 (PSAAQE).

  Another thing is, I can't seem to get my memory card reader to work again.
  I downloaded all the drivers I could find on this site and install.
  However, the player still does not.

  Ideas please

  Thank you
  Andy

  OK, I managed to get the SD card reader works.
  The vista issue just now.
  Perhaps, I installed the correct version of Vista.

  Do I need an OEM version or something?

  Thank you
  Andy

  Hello Andy

  Nice to have you here.
  The button located on the bottom side belongs to the image of the installations of Vista that you have with your laptop and it is not a kind of universal key that can be used to activate each installed Vista OS. Unfortunately, it won't work.

  If you use Vista, to work well the OS and all hardware components, you need to install all the available drivers, tools and utilities. I checked the download page of Toshiba for your laptop model and you can see the Instructions document facilities. This document will help you set up everything correctly. It is important to install stuff all available according to this order of installations.

  Have you installed Flash Media Driver and Utilities of SD?

• Equium A100 - 027 Vista: the screen goes black for just 1 second

  I was wondering if anyone here can tell me what is the problem with my laptop. That's all new Toshiba Equium A100-027. Quite often, my screen will turn black for just a second, and then it will return to normal again.

  I changed my power settings, so it is not because of the screen laptop will. Most of the time, it's going to happen when I run the program in full-screen on real player, but it happens when I play mahjong titans which is included in microsoft vista.

  HM, just a small suggestion to check if you have a hardware related problem or some software:

  Connect your laptop to an external monitor and see if the problem still occurs.
  If the problem occurs with an external monitor then check that you have installed the software and try uninstalling the last installed software, perhaps the best will be step by step.

  So if all else fails, then try a recovery.

• 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!

• 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!

• Equium A100-027: is it possible to update the graphics card?

  I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I am very happy with it, but the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I'm a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle more modern games.

  I am looking how to change, how much it cost etc. However I don't want to buy a graphics card just to realize that inside is locked. Since it's only a week I want to take a hammer to it right away ;-)

  Can someone tell me how it is difficult to upgrade the graphics card? It is locked, or easily accessible?

  Hello Eamonn

  Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible. I'm don't know if you're familiar with cell phone technology, but you should know that graphics cards installed on laptop motherboards are not same as the GPU for desktop PC s s.

  The map is fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!
  You can upgrade the memory or HARD drive on laptop computers but not the graphics card!

  I also have a player m and I m a laptop owner but I don t use this device for games, but for a typical use like the internet, programming, members, etc.
  I have a second game machine and it s a desktop PC. It s supports a map of water cooling module and a really great graphics, but I'll change it to the a newer NVIDIA supports the directX10.
  It is a future and all new games will this DrectX10!

• 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.

• Equium A100 - 027: running slow

  Any help appreciated - my equium a100-027 running incrdeibly slow, especially shortly after the start.

  This is for all the excellent Internet programs.

  Sometimes I get an error message saying card Flash not working do not.

  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 - 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 - 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
