• How to connect Equium A100-306 to HDTV?

  Hello

  I was wondering if it was possible to connect my Equium A100-306 to my HDTV using a VGA cable component? The laptop has the chipset intel 945g.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You cannot convert only a RGB (VGA) signal to component (Y-Pr-Pb), since you will need a converter that transforms the signal vga to this component.

  Which means that you also a converter for cable that could be very expensive. But if you've got components that you should be able to display an image on a device that has entry components. Don t think you will be able to run the HD-ready or full HD on a HD TV, since a HD signal requires an HD port on your computer and a disk hard taking supported system with better graphics chip and then a chipset intel.

• Information about the life of the battery of Equium A100-306?

  Hello!
  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306 & am pleased with it.
  Of course, I want to protect my investment & having been, in the past, concerned about battery 'memory', I was happy to find that this machine works with a battery lithium-ion - & everywhere I look I see words to the effect that:

  "There is no memory and no regular bike not needed to extend the life of the battery.

  I also found: a lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. The battery prefers a partial rather than complete discharge. Frequent full discharges should be avoided when possible. Instead, charge the battery more often or use a larger battery. There is no memory problem when unexpected expenses. »

  Except, that is, Toshiba (citing the manual) say: "at least once a month, run the computer on battery power until the battery is completely discharged, then discharge the battery."
  Then, they suggest "once a week" to ensure maximum capacity.
  You will understand why I am confused? I would really appreciate someone stating the above.
  Thanks for your time. Cheers, Peter.

  Hello

  Perhaps they have not properly updated their textbooks? I Don t know, but is the only thing I can tell you, that new technologies in mobile systems such as yours are very modern and I think toshiba had a cool technology into their machines, so that systems of remain "without worry".

  I suggest you read this article on the type battery that is in your machine so that you can understand the best technology:

  Hope I could give you an idea...

• Equium A100 - 306 Question on upgrade Vista ModusLink

  Hello

  I bought an Equium A100-306 in November before deploying operations that I'm in the forces and could not be updated before that.

  I just go and discovered that I can't have my Vista upgrade I missed the deadline. I ModusLink E-mail unanswered. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or that you could help me solve this problem.

  I think that I should not miss out on the free update due to circumstances beyond my control. Looking through the documentation I received with my laptop there was no deadline, said that it is only on the internet, the date limit is clearly but I was unable to verify this.

  Thanks for any help.
  Greg

  Hi Greg

  What to say. The overall programme is controlled by the ModusLink Corporation and any misunderstanding, you must try to clarify with them. I think that the end of March was the deadline for the Vista upgrade program.

  Sorry, but you are alone and try to talk with them about the situation as a whole.

• Equium A100 - 306 PSAABE - cannot start and the error of the BIOS

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306, which does not go beyond the BIOS screen. Last thing I did was delete the second partition on the hard drive and the boot configuration Winodws via DVD. Then he stopped display

  If I hit ESC on the post screen, I get a screen that says this: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/Medabot_Metabee/BIOS_ERR.jpg

  Ive read that theres a method of emergency crisis of flashing, is possible to run it on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard, you can enter in the setup of the BIOS for example? If Yes, load default settings then save & exit it.

  If you can t get into BIOS try remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two again and try to start your laptop.

  He starts correctly now?

• Black screen on Equium A100-306 after watching the movie on external projector

  Hello!

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-306 and it worked very well. Yesterday, I plugged in a spotlight and watched the movie.

  Once I finished the movie I have turn it off and disconnected from the projector.
  After a few hours later, I tried to change my cell phone and found that the initial screen of charges until after there is nothing on the screen.

  I was able to go into the BIOS but couldn't go safe mode. I remember I used the key Fn and F5, but nothing comes so any help would be much appreciated.

  While the initial charge up screen I do not think that there is a problem on the screen or the graphics card the toshiba logo at startup.

  Can anyone help to know if tht is a hard drive problem maybe.

  Hmm for me it seems that the display was set ONLY to an external display device (projector, screen, etc.) and, therefore, you are not capable of anything on the internal display of laptops.

  I think you need to connect an external monitor or projector to this laptop second and must try to set display settings default (Mobile only)

  The FN + F5 combination should help you.
  As far as I know the laptop replaces the output of the screen in the following order:

  * Internal display * * (CRT) screen external + internal screen * * (CRT) external display only * TV (s-video output) + internal screen * TV only (output s-video) *.

  So maybe you have chosen the last device (output only s-video)

• Equium A100-306 beeps at startup

  Hello

  I have an A100-306 which, at startup, beeps for about 30 seconds, then starts up fine and then works perfectly, if I look at the laptop all the ram is recognized and the CPU seems very well, there is no display problem, the only thing that doesn't work is the CD drive doesn t recognize disks but the drive shows on the laptop , but if I remove the CD drive still beeps on startup anyway.

  Any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  The beep code during POST (power on self-test) means that an error has been detected on the motherboard.
  But it of really difficult to say what could be the problem here, you said RAM is recognized correctly hmm try to remove a RAM module and start Notepad using RAM only one in each slot

  All devices are connected to the laptop? If so, unplug everything (all devices) and try again.

• Equium A100-306: cannot set resolution 1440 x 900 on external monitor

  Has anyone encountered this problem? I searched the web without success and it doesn't seem to be all programs that will force the graphics in this resolution. Is only shown for linux-based systems which have a complex solution for this. I have a new A100-306.
  The maximum power that I get is 1280 x 1024, which is ok but lack just that final freshness.

  I think that the solution will be an update of the video bios but it is an update from the manufacturer and not a processor intel, a? As the machine is new he does not appear to be updated again. If anyone has a solution please post, if not Toshiba please quickly with an updated driver.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I read several candidate here in the forum on different screen resolutions that are not available for the external display.
  Fact is, if no resolution of the screen is not available, then the graphics driver doesn t contain the display resolution in the list. In this case you must use the common screen resolution which is available. But this isn't a problem.

  Furthermore, each screen support a clean resolution. I mean the screen with a resolution which is the best for this view. Then the screen and the image is very clear, and as you said crisp.

  On my screen I can pick several display resolutions, but the best resolution for my monitor 1280 x 800.

• Can I add a better graphics for Equium A100-306 card?

  As the title suggests it is possible to add a graphics card to an A100 - 306 Equium to better manage the games?

  Thoughts or comments appreciated.

  Thank you

  I can only confirm the information provided by James.
  The notebooks are all just different as the desktop PC and these updates are therefore not possible.
  If you are a hardcore gamer I n t understand why buy you a laptop.
  I m also play with passion and I would recommend buying a desktop computer if you want to play the latest games. The Office supports various devices. You re more flexible with upgrades and especially the parts are cheaper.

• Can Equium A100 - I use E drive for data backup?

  My Equium A100-27 has a 80 GB hard drive, it is split in the C drive half and drive E.

  I understand that the E drive is used for system recovery purposes, but can I also use it to store data?

  If I use it for how much room must be left free for system data recovery?

  It's old laptop model, and there is no recovery of data stored on the second partition of HARD drive.
  If you can do what you want with this partition, and also use it for backup of data or backup data.

• Equium A100-306 memory upgrade from 2 x 512 MB to 4 GB for Windows 7 64-bit

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the RAM on my A100-306 to make use of the full capacity of win 7 64 bit. I was looking around, I know that I need PC-4200 (533 MHz) 200 Pin SODIMM modules, but I'm not clear on whether they need to be combined. Ideally, I would like to buy a single 2 GB module now and then take a second in the future. My questions are:

  (1) is it acceptable to have a single 2 GB module?
  (2) can I leave in one of the current 512 GB modules give me 2.5 GB?
  (3) the extent to which the second module must match the first case has been purchased and added at a later date?

  I look forward to the advice.

  Hello

  The A100-306 supports the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset.
  This chipset supports 4 GB RAM max.
  This means that you can use 2 x 2 GB modules.

  Yes, you can use 512 MB and 2 GB of RAM, it should be possible

  Usually it s recommended to use modules with the same specifications
  I mean that the modules must use the same speed (Mhz) if one of the modules will be slower then the fastest module be pointed down and the two modules would go to lower speed
