• Equium A100-147: replaced Fan part number

  Hello

  I have an Equium A100 147 which is now out of warranty.
  I need to be able to find and of course spare part number where I can buy one of these ASAP.

  If someone could help me with this, it would be quite apprieciated.

  Thank you

  You can not ONLY buy the fan. The fan is a part of the cooling module and the entire module cooling must be replaced.

  You need a cooling module that has been designed especially for this series of laptop and I know ASP (certified partner) in your country should be able to help.

  I think guys should be able to order this part compatible directly from the warehouse of Toshiba.

  Then call the guy and ask for help!

  I was wondering if you could help me, you want to replace the hard drive of my laptop (Toshiba Equium A200-15I). its 3-4 years old and just get some small and old.
  Is it easy to replace, is it just another wack in and load the disc vista reset factory settings or is it more complicated. Also what hard drive actually buy for my laptop are all made for computers laptops set or is the only difference ata / sata and the disc rotation.

  Hello

  Before any replacement disk HARD is quite easy: there's a blanket of HARD drive on the underside of the laptop that you need to remove and then you are able to exchange the HARD drive.

  Theoretically, you can buy each 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. On SATA interface, there is no limit of capacity for each HARD drive, you can buy. I would recommend a model 5,400 rpm. highest RPM is originally more than heat and need more battery power as well. 5,400 rpm seems to be a good choice.

  You can buy in every shop online, on eBay or at your favorite computer store. :)

  BIOS version is 5.10 (Phoenix TrustedCore)

  In your Satellite A100 HDD is SATA 1 and it was delivered with 120 GB max.
  I tested my old Satellite M70 260 GB SATA HARD drive and it works perfectly, so I think that you can now pass HDD with up to 300 GB for example.
  Attention to not only Toshiba HDD but high quality product from any other HARD drive manufacturer.

• Equium A100-147: how to drive to repalce the CD/DVD?

  Hello world

  can someone tell me how to replace my dvd player in my A100?
  It's a massive delicate work or I can do it easily?

  I'm completely lost without it, and it seems a pity to pay a price that is stupid to get the thing repaired.
  I noticed a number of pretty good readers markets on ebay and thought I should try an auto repair.

  Hello

  CD/DVD drive replacement is not difficult for someone who has done in the past, but if you have never changed this part, then this might be a bit hard for you

  First of all he must know that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different settings master/slace/c-salt
  You need a disk check compatible your user manual should be that an info on supported readers otherwise contact the ASP for a good optical drive

  As far as I know to remove the two screws until you would be able to Exchange on the STRANGE.
  A screw secures the player at the bottom of the unit, the other screws are placed under the keyboard, then you will need to remove the keyboard as well

  I think the best is to contact a technician mobile downtown the technician could remove it for you and should not be expensive and in this case, you are always on the right side

  Any advice would be welcome.

• A100 replacement hard drive

  I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
  My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

  I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

  When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
  The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

• 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: 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

• 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.
