• Equium A100-147: very low volume (sound)

  Hi all

  Just bought a new A100-147 and found that the volume through the built-in speakers is extremely low, even when the scroll bar on the sound setting has been set up. I can barely hear anything, even my PDA has an output sound better than that. The problem exists for MP3, CD, and DVD. I noticed other assignments as well as on this forum with the same problem with other models (80 Equium and others), but cannot find a solution yet.

  It's a standard specific to a few patterns or problem with all laptops from Toshiba? My particular piece could be at fault?

  Any help appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Don t be mad, but I smile now: ^ O :D
  In any case, thanks for the info

• Equium A100-147: Impossible to get Bluetooth to work

  I bought an Equium A100-147 last week and noted in the manual it should have Bluetooth capabilities. However, I can't get this to work. I looked for my phone, and it does not pick up the computer as a bluetooth device. In the help files, it says I can set it up in the bluetooth settings in the Control Panel, but there is nothing in there. I tried to install the battery Bluetooth Toshiba, but it keeps asking me to install the bluetooth device.

  This computer actually has bluetooth abilities or not? If so, how can I get this to work?

  See you soon

  Hello

  Each unit with BT has BT label in the lower corner. Something like this http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ35007I001WR01.htm

• Equium A100-147-glitch-pop-crack if the sound is muted

  Hello.

  I have an Equium A100-147 with Vista home Premium SP1 and 1 GB of RAM.

  Recently I get a glitch-pop-crack from time to time even if the audio output is cut.
  Have no idea what could be the cause?
  I'm more or less certain that everything is up-to-date.

  Thanks in advance.

  I never heard a question also and now I can t say what's the reason for this. :(

  You have the same problem on external speakers?
  What operating system do you use?

  Perhaps you need to update the audio driver you can find on the Toshiba site:

• 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.

• 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: large screen display resolution is not available?

  Hi, I recently bought a laptop A100-147 - accepted a view model that I had trouble getting one of them. On the beautiful screen, the screen resolution is 1024 x 768 - that it and 640 x 480 and 800 x 600 are available. This sounds awfully stretched.

  Is this correct? Or do I have to create a different graphics driver that allows me to select a screen resolution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  According to the description of the Equium A100-147 comes with color Wide XGA TFT 15.4 TruBrite display ". The standard resolution of this monitor is 1280 x 800. If you dot have this one please install graphic driver. You can find it on the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com support & downloads.

  I can't imagine that it happens after the first start. You have preinstalled your own operating system?

• 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

• Question on the disk anti-shock HARD on Equium A100-147

  Don't Equium A100 - 147 HDD have the same shock of the A120 series?

  Hello

  Sorry, but the Equium A120 is unclear to me. Where did you find information on this laptop and HARD shock anti-mecanisme disc?

  I found some info on the new feature called Toshiba EasyGuard.
  Protection of hard drive (HDD) a feature of Toshiba EasyGuard is designed not to damage the hard drive and disks of data caused by the shock, fall or vibration.
  This feature can be found in the device under the section manager system devices as driver of Toshiba HDD protection shock sensor.
  But unfortunately, I don t find anything similar on the Equium A100

• 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

• 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.

  Help, please.

  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for 30 seconds. Wait a few moments, connect the power adapter only and try to start your laptop.

  What happens when you do this?

• 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
