• Re: Update disk hard Equium A200-196 - hidden partition

  Having bought just my A200-196, I realize the original 80 GB hard drive will not be soon enough. I want to update before I add too much software. Question is what I do on the hidden partition "EISA Configuration". I guess if it is not present I won't be able to do a system restore. I don't know if I need to copy (clone) for the new 160 GB drive and if so what utility used to copy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

  You are right. Vista operating system creates two partitions; one for the operating system and the other (hidden partition) for the restoration of the system.
  If you delete this partition, then you will not be able to use Vista's system restore feature

• Equium A200-1VO isue - white screen start new

  I got a new laptop Equium A200-1VO Friday as a Christmas present very very end and last night (Monday), I played football coach, play with ITunes and deleting files on an old mp3 player. Everything was fine when all of a sudden there was this click / the sound muffled and the screen went black.

  The laptop is connected to the time and so connected them to clear a/c was, so was the power and charge light, but he just stayed empty.

  I then unplugged the charger and it appeared with the orange light mean low battery. I then removed the computer game disc thinking that it is possible that and turned off the phone manually. Now if I just push the power button it stands theres a click, just about where is the hard drive and it stops, if I hold it in theres a click, but it stays on, all the time the screen remains blank.

  I then turned off and it rebooted I was wondering if it was just low on battery and still nothing.
  I left the place cell phone off during the night but in the morning, the problems are still there. I even blocked the "product recovery" disk, but still no sign of life.

  I'll try to plug this moniter screen and see if this is the problem then he hopes to be able to tell you soon. Oh, one thing I can think is that I used it on my bed, is there a way it could have overheated? If Yes, then would not be leaving off all night helped / solved this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Have you tried to remove the battery and disconnect the AC for a while?
  I would recommend doing this!

  Remove the battery and the power adapter for about 20-30 min. After this short period of time to connect all the parts again and try to start Notepad.

• Satellite A200-196 - create a CD factory restore settings

  Hello

  Just bought a used computer (Equium A200-196) and want to restore it back to factory settings. Am a little nervous to do it without the restore disks.

  * Is it possible to get a restore CD from the restore settings already on the computer *, just in case it does not work!

  Or should I just bite the bullet and go?
  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Well, if the Toshiba recovery disc creator is preinstalled on your laptop and the HARD drive recovery image files are available on the second partition, then you will be able to create the Toshiba recover disc.
  In addition, you can also try to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

• Equium A200-1VO - "a disk read error has occurred."

  Hello

  I had my Equium A200-1VO since December 2007 and has never really had any problems with it atall.

  However, last night after a Windows Vista update and restart, my laptop won't start upward. I get a black screen announcing:

  "A disk read error has occurred.

  Please press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

  I've had no BSOD, and no other suggestion that something was wrong, everything worked perfectly. I checked the HARD drive to see if it had come off his link and reinserted it. But I get the same message.

  I am presented with the only possibility to use the recovery disk, but this means wiping everything out there and start again. I'd rather try to recover my documents before taking radical measures, if it is possible atall.

  If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciate.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  In my view, the error message says a lot: theoretically, your HARD drive may be defective and must be replaced but before that I would test using fitness to drive or another program. Just use Google to find such programs.

  Maybe something was tangled up in your Windows installation. About reinstalling Windows?

  You didn't back up your data to a second drive? I m wondering about this, because the backup should always be made.
  However, if you use an external HARD drive box you can save it on another computer.

  Good luck! :)

• Equium A200-1HS - white screen when executing a stack

  Help! Screen is blank when running on the battery. I have Toshiba Equium A200 1HS PSAE2E, BIOS is upgraded (1.80), so the screen Intel drivers (at least Windows (Windows Vista SP2, 32-bit, Home Premium) says).

  This occurs when you are running on battery only. It can happen at any time (even when I use the computer), the screen is set on turn off after 5 minutes, so it isn't that. The backlight is still, but the screen is blank (usually black (or dark grey?), but other colors sometimes also). It seems that the computer is still ongoing. To fix it, I put the lid down and let him go to the standby mode (not hibernate) and open again and it works.

  While running on battery, the screen flickers as (with lines?) every few minutes or so, when the screen is to 'work' (this does not happen when the screen is blank, I think)

  How should I do?

  Dear Jege

  We can discuss here everyday but I think you should seek professional help. Service has special tools to check the LCD and the features of the graphics card. They say that this level occur and if this happen because of a malfunction of the equipment.

  What you can do is to test the functionality in different ways, but I don't think you can fix it.
  In any case, can follow you the things:
  Marketing your laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings and leave it for a while.
  Is there a problem with the display feature? Test it with the dough and power running.

  Start the operating system in safe mode and do the same thing. No problems with it?

• Equium A200-1VO - screen not working no-lines out of feint

  Equium A200-1VO.
  Just got this about 2 months ago and only used it twice and the screen no longer works!
  It looks like its covered in lines of feint. From what I can do on the computer seems to be running ok.

  Any ideas?

  Have you tested the display to the external monitor?

  It might help to know if it s a graphics card or a matter of FL-inverter DC-AC/display.
  If the image appears correctly on the screen so I guess one of the FL-ups parties or internal TFT display of defects and must be replaced.

  But a question;
  Have you tried to update the display driver and BIOS? Check it!

• Re: Equium A200-15I - crack suddenly appeared on the screen

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Equium A200-15I laptop about 15 months ago, and I'm not sure that this is under any kind of warranty or not.

  A few weeks ago I tried to turn on the laptop but a crack suddenly appeared on the screen and the screen has been damaged. It seems as if the crack is internal, because I can't feel anything on the surface of the screen.

  I wonder how it is possible to know if the laptop is under warranty or not, and if not, if it is possible to fix the problem.

  Thank you very much
  Ken

  Hello

  This guy s shame

  I fear that this issue is not could be covered by warranty m.
  These cracks may not appear without reason
  I think that something touched the screen and led to this crack

  In any case, you could simply ask a technician ASP in your country for details and the manipulation of the Fryer, but I doubt that the warranty would cover replacement.

• "Disk Creator" and update firmware on Equium A200-1V0

  Please forgive me if I'm missing something really obvious, but I can't find even if I need to update the firmware of my DVD burner.

  The doc readme says to start "Toshiba Disk Writer", and then select Audio CD - that should give me information on the disks required to decide if the firmware update is needed. I don't see any creator of disc on my satellite and selecting Properties on my DVD burner tells me it's a RUG * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA Device.

  There is no link whatever it is cited in the update of the firmware, wherever it should be a feature of TSST Corp.

  I had a few firmware updates and am unable to see even if they are needed. Any advice would be much appeciated

  Hello

  The update of the firmware are still on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If you find any updates to the firmware on the Toshiba page for you laptop, then an update of the firmware is not necessary!

  Equium A200-1V0 seems to belong to the series of PSAF5 and three updates of firmware for TS-L632, TS-L632P, TS-L632H CD/DVD drives. You can find these details more info

  If your CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s doesn t need updates.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  AFAIK this peacekeepers of error message by using the CD - R disc.
  Check if you can burn the CD - RW? On my laptop I can burn files on CD - RW iTunes correctly.

  By the way:
  If your laptop has the reader of the TS-L632 CD/DVD then you need to update the firmware as suggested here in this article from Toshiba

• Re: Screen Equium A200 is low

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium A200 computer laptop with a dark screen. I changed the inverter and the screen but the image is
  always off.
  I came to the conclusion that near the lid switch was defective but have disassembled the laptop and can't find for the life of me, there.

  I'm going blind or this laptop isn't one - which I thought unusual.

  Can anyone help?

  Thanks in advance.

  Can I ask you why you came to this conclusion?
  Your screen is completely black?

  For me it makes no sense to the search and replacing any lid close switch if the screen is small
  I think she s inverter question even a FL. It could also be a display problem, but I m not 100% sure

  Perhaps you have not installed the FL inverter correctly or maybe you used a bad part

  I think you should contact the laptop technician to find out what's going wrong with your laptop!

  2. When the computer starts, you will see your computer hardware are listed. When you see this information begins to tap theF8 key repeatedly until you are presented with theBoot Options Advanced Windows Vista.
  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.
