• 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.

• 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!

• Equium A100-147 - password appears as soon as Toshiba screen appears

  Hello

  My husband and I are two retreats with very little knowledge of computers, and we received a Toshiber Equium A100-147 of a friends wife after the death of her husband.

  When turn it on as soon as the Toshiba screen appears it want an entered password and my question is what is the password.
  I looked through all the documents related to our friends for the computer and there is nothing there.

  Elaine

  Hello

  I think you're talking about the BIOS password.
  This password can be set or removed in the BIOS and its type of protection.
  Without knowing this password you will not be able to boot Windows system

  Also it is not possible to remove this password if you know n t s the old password.
  Only the technician of the ASP (authorized service provider) would be able to bypass and remove this password

  So I see only one solution; local ASP contact and ask for help.

  Welcome & good luck

• Possible replacement of Equium A100 - 147 HDD 250 GB?

  Hello

  I own an Equium A100-147 with 60 GB HARD drive. I have a recovery disc and have restored the laptop several times.

  I am considering an upgrade to 250 GB HARD drive.

  Couple of questions...

  The motherboard will host a 250 GB drive?

  If I replace the HARD drive recover CD will install a new copy of the fatory software you (inc windows xp MCE)?

  Any advice would be welcome.

  Yes, you can use a 250 GB. The laptop has a SATA interface and there is no limit as to IDE.

  If you use the recovery CD, you will get to factory settings. This means an XP installation with all the drivers and tools.

• 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 would not start

  Equium A100-147 would not start. Only the lights next to the CapsLock F10 F11 keys are on. When the switch is pushed the lights disappear back only after about 15 seconds.

• 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.

  Good bye

• Equium A100 - 147 Virtual Sound reinstall problem

  I read a few posts about the same problem I have, but with no definitive answer. I have the satellite A100-147 with Windows XP Media Center. I downloaded a few files updated on the Toshiba site (all for my model), including:

  acsil-xpmce-100008-en
  Assist-xpmce-10300-en
  confree-xpmce-59007ab-en
  csutil-xpmce-7211006

  SD-secure-xpmce-104-en
  Sound-xpmce-51005253
  Toupad-xpmce - 10001st - en

  and then: tvs-xpmce-10312-en (latest driver Virtual Sound for the A100-147)

  I uninstalled the old version of the virtual sound driver before attempting to install a new one. But as I've seen elsewhere, I get the message:

  "Toshiba Virtual Sound can't stand your computer."

  I spent all afternoon looking up and trying to find ways to solve this problem. I've since updated my BIOS (bios-550win). Not a thing I try it will work. I even deleted the references to his virtual in the registry where there was no ongoing conflict. It made no difference if.

  Could someone Toshiba please explain to me why I am told that I can not install which worked perfectly until this morning, before these updates, which are all intended for my laptop model? This is ridiculous. My apologies for my tone, but have lost hours on it, I'm extremely frustrated and you want just like it was back in my laptop (and before you ask, Yes, I tried a system restore, but that does not work either).

  Thank you

• 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.
