• Unable to get Internet using modem internal dial on Equium A200-15i

  Using my new laptop EQuium A200-15i while a Wi-Fi by Netgear has been created, I could not get the internal modem to dial up to my ISP on PAYG (to serve as a backup in case of need).
  Device Manager indicates the modem is not working properly and the driver is up-to-date. The number of dial ISP (Virgin) is also correct - I can connect to the internet using the same number of ISP of my desktop computer.
  I think I put in place the ISP connection correctly - I get a ringtone of the laptop but every time can not pass and a screen of failure rises. Y at - it still configuration of Toshiba laptop that is needed?
  The modem would be defective? Is there a technical contact E-mail for Toshiba
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  In the first post you talked you a failure screen which appears after the failure of the modem connection. Could you please post the error message?

  In addition, it would be desirable to set up the Modem region selection utility that should be in programs-> Toshiba-> Networking folder.
  Delete the old profile and create a new one.

  Good luck

• What Type of PCMCIA is supported by Equium A200-1ED?

  Hello

  They gave me this old Equium A200-1ED which is too slow for window 8.

  Putting aside the expensive option of a SSD, I thought to install windows on an SD card but the BIOS do not see it as a boot device and the driver seems not to recognize as exFat and even then it only reads that 27.7 GB on a 64 GB card.

  So my next option is to get an adpater for the ExpressCard/PCMCIA location for the 64 Gb SD card that I hope the BIOS will be able to see as boot drive, but I don't know what Type (PIN configuration) of the card supports this machine slot.

  The driver seems to think that he supports PCMCIA, but I know that it is not a Type II, because I have a Type II device that does not fit into here.

  I don't want to open it, so I wrote to Toshiba, but I didn't get any answer.
  So maybe someone here can help.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  PCMCIA is designed for the use of some external devices, but the idea to use the preinstalled with OS boot device is really crazy. I'm pretty sure that this will not work.

  A few years ago, I had Satellite A200. It is the same model as your satellite. If you want to have good enough laptop s performance I recommend to install Windows 7 32 bit. This machine was designed for Vista, but it is supported for Win7 32 bit. WIN8 isn't the solution for this old piece of hardware.

  With Win7, it works fairly well, stable and faster than original Vista. SSD is very good way to increase the performance of s for laptop, but it costs a little. Anyway, you shouldn't buy the best and most recent SSD. You can get an opportunity for a lot of money.

  Anyway, combined with mise a niveau of RAM and Win7 installation is, in my opinion, best option for you.

• Initialize the trouble on Equium A200-1VO

  I have an Equium A200 - 1VO, starts in Windows Vista and works ok until I connect the power cable and then it freezes and won't do anything. Also if it's on the socket to switch on it will do nothing, nothing comes on the screen.

  Can anyone help please?

  Hmm, sounds like a hardware problem.

  Maybe it's just a problem of AC adapter that provides an abnormal power to the laptop. Then you should try to plug another compatible adapter for the laptop just to check if this is the case otherwise, it could be a motherboard related problem and it would be the worst case buddy in this case, you have to replace the motherboard and it is a very costly affair

• Equium A200 - upgrade CPU

  Hi all

  I have an Equium A200 T2310 and looking to improve it instead of having to splash out for a new laptop.
  A Crucial report told me my 2 GB RAM was at its maximum, but after some research, I discovered that it will recognize up to 3.5 GB and so have put n 1 extra GB she fine rocognised.

  Another option I'm considering is to buy an SSD that I recently discovered can replace the cd drive and give me two hard drives.

  The question I want to ask regarding my processor is an Intel Pentium T2310.
  I read the thread below this site where someone updated the CPU to an Intel Core Duo T7500.
  At the end of the post, they claim it works, but there is no follow-up if she continued to work.

  I would like to comment on the question of whether people think it will work without causing problems or if they know if any CPU would be more appropriate.

  Another processor that I am considering is the Intel Pentium Dual core T3400, which is not as good, but seems to be closest matches.

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=204735𱾿

  Any help on this is greatly appreciated

  I have some comparisons of these processors and some statistics from the computer I wanted to download, but I'm not sure how. Anyone know if this is possible?

  First of all, you cannot take any CPU. It must be supported by the chipset.
  If the chipset would not support the CPU, there is NO change to make it work.

  So first of all all the it is essential to check the compatibility and the chipset.

  However, there are different satellites / Equium A200 models on the market with different hardware configurations.

  The laptops were equipped with one of the following chipsets:

  Mobile Intel 945 PM Express Chipset
  Mobile Intel Express Chipset 945GM
  Mobile Intel Express Chipset 943GML

  and following CPUs:

  Intel® Core 2 Duo Processor
  Intel® Core Duo processor
  Processor Intel Pentium Dual Core
  Processor Intel® Celeron M

  If you would be able to choose a compatible CPU among the categories listed.

• Equium A200 - problems with the CD/DVD-RW and Realtek HD driver

  I'm having some trouble with my Equium A200-1VO.

  First of all, I can't get the CD/DVD-RW to write any dics. The Player opens also from time to time.

  Secondl, I just downloaded and installed the latest driver Realtek HD audio, under the guidance of Toshiba, to see that when I plug my headphones the sound always comes out of my laptop speakers.

  Any help or thoughts?

  Thank you

  Now, he can be really problematic. If you use your own installation of the OS, no one can say with certainty what can be the problem. Each laptop manufacturer, including Toshiba, offer recovery image installation and in using the factory settings, everything should work well. These recovery images are tested and they offer all the hardware and software features.

  Maybe you should install Vista using recovery media supplied and check if all these problems are happening again. If yes then we can talk about the unusual and serious issues.

• Equium A200 15I audio don't deliver - C00D11E5 - no speakers error code

  Hello

  the speakers of my Equium A200-15I went suddenly silent. They speak too low. It is not cut and the control managers say that it works correctly.
  It works with some other external stakeholders. but my speakers before you say anything. the error code I got is C00D11E5 with media player.

  Help please

  This error is not known to me and it seems that there is not a lot of people with questions of the error
  First of all, you should try to remove you sound driver should and then reinstall again.

  On the Toshiba page, you will find the compatible driver.

  The question remains then you should recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD. Usually, if your notebook malfunction s material doesn t then a recovery CD should solve this problem. Otherwise, the hardware may be faulty and the laptop everything should be checked.

• Atheros ar5008 wifi not recognized on Equium A200 card

  Hi, I have a 1V0 Equium A200 (PSAF5E)
  I am running Windows 7 32 bit.

  I recently updated my router to a Netgear DGND3700.
  I bought a wifi card mini pci Atheros AR5008, the problem I have is that my computer does not detect it at all (Device Manager). I tried used updated my bios tried several drivers different, but still it will not be detected in the Device Manager.

  Any help would be appreciated, because it really does my head.
  Thank you

  And you are sure that this card is compatible with the motherboard and your laptop can be improved with this WLAN card to 100%?
  As much as I know BIOS update will not help at all. The BIOS updates are available to fix the other things and not to offer the best hardware support.

• Equium A200-1V0 - just freezes very often

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Equium A200-1V0. It freezes just very often to watch movies, browse the net or just listening to music and it makes a strange noise like when winamp freezes, but the music is still playing.
  I have windows 7.

  What can I do? SRY for my English

  Hi eidrian88,

  I think that it of difficult to say something because it can be everything... I want to say that no one knows what you have installed exactly so it could be a software or a hardware problem.

  In my opinion the best way to identify the exact problem is reinstall with the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore software factory with all the drivers and tools. If these settings are pre-tested and should work correctly.

  Otherwise it might be a hardware malfunction and an authorized service provider can verify this.

• Equium A200-1V0 - recovery on the new HARD drive problem

  Hello

  Hoping someone can help, I just mounted a new Toshiba 1 TB hard drive for my Equium A200-1V0, used the Vista came with the computer recovery disk, everything seems to be installed ok, but when you try to start, I get a message saying that Windows Vista is unable to run on this hardware. Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you

  There must be a compatibility problem. Usually the hard drives up to 500 GB are not problematic for the old machines.
  If possible, try to install the version of the OS. When you can get Win7 32 bit would be great. Win7 32-bit is supported for your machine and in my view, it will work perfectly.

• 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!

• Equium A200 PSAE8E: Need info on memory and HARD drive upgrade

  In the manual of my Equium A200 PSAE8E described the possibility for the user to add a second internal hard drive and upgrade the memory from 2 GB to 4 GB. This can be done by the end user without taking the laptop to the local service for repair.

  I would like to order a 200 GB internal second hard drive, as well as to replace the 2 chips of 2 GB of Ram with 2 4 GB chips, but I find not the product ID for these modules, because it seems that this model of Toshiba psae8e is not registered for compatibility.

  Someone has technical details about the product ID and the cost to be sure to order the right parts without compatibility issues?
  Thank you
  Paolo

  Hello

  I would like to add some info on the second HARD drive on laptop Equium A200 upgrade.
  As far as I know all the A200 are delivered with the second HARD drive location. This location is available, but not all phones of A200 could be improved with the second HARD disk, since it lacks the second HARD disk controller interface.

  Therefore, you should be 100% sure if your laptop can handle the second HDD.
  You can simply check this remove the cover of the location of the HDD on the second and check if the connection of the HARD disk is available.
  If this isn't the case, then you cannot move the laptop with the second HARD drive.

  Now something about the memory.
  I studied in the internet for some compatible modules and surprise, surprise ;)
  Found this wonderful site:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=30715&ft=m&St=3

  According to the news the portable supports the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM memory modules.

  All parts such as memory or HARD drive can be ordered also with the service provider authorized in your country!

  Good bye

• 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.

• Equium A200-1V0 using XP - recent conversion issues.

  * Hi, *.

  * I recently inherited my laptop the girls, he had vista installed on it. I'm not a big fan so decided to install xp. I found a great guide on the forum, see below, (the topic is now locked) *.

  The original guide:

  + How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08 +.
  + PSAF5E + Toshiba Equium A200-1V0

  + Introduction
  + Here are the measures taken by us to remove our Toshiba laptop Vista and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we cannot have all the correct drivers installed, but everything seems to work OK for us. +
  + Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes more quickly and is more stable. +

  + This isn't a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a knowledge of passage of computers because it is very easy to screw things. The shop you bought your PC against them will load a lot to fix things and they will probably insist reinstall Vista! +
  + Be prepared that this would also probably negate your warranty. +

  + Luckily, I have a 2nd PC under XP, which allows me to access the web. This is very useful because it means that when your Vista machine is "broken" you can always find help and download the driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the XP installation updated the CD discussed later. +
  + You must have access to the web via a PC or another to get the necessary drivers. +

  + Method +.
  + First, even if you have Vista on your laptop, download and run a program of interrogation as "Belarc advisor" that lists all the drivers and software installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference. It will be useful later when searching on the web for all drivers that may require updating. +
  + Now, make sure that you noted on all the necessary settings for your Internet connection. +
  + Also, back up the files that you may have placed on the hard drive you will lose the lot, including emails and the address books and web bookmarks etc. +

  + Unfortunately, the Toshiba disk that comes with this laptop does not appear to have all the required drivers with it. Instead, I think it relies on Vista keeping copy on your hard drive. It's not very bright that when the disk fails, you have lost everything! +
  + This means to go on the web and the search of all the required drivers run the XP successfully. +
  + Some we have found, for example the wireless network adapter, however this was not a problem because once we had installed XP and connected to the Internet through an Ethernet cable to our router, we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each missing item. +
  + Go to "Device Manager" via "Control Panel" then "System" and then "hardware". Then look for any yellow question mark for all the problems. Right-click and run 'Update Driver' for the Hardware Update Wizard and allow the PC to search the web "this time only. +
  + The ones we made in this way were: wireless adapter, Audio adapter. +

  + Unfortunately an original CD of XP SP2 does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore, when you start the CD it will be, after a few minutes of installation of files, say you have a hardware problem, there is no hard drive. +
  + To remedy this, you will need to download the right drivers Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller. I could not find on the website of Intel, but on the contrary searched on Google for him. and he got to: http://www.alphadownloads.com/downloads/download-hp-intel-sata-ahci-controller-driver-ver--d-3064.html+

  + The other necessary drivers that we found on the web were: +.

  + On the screen "Task Selection", select "Drivers" and "Bootable ISO". Press "next". +
  + Select "Insert" and then "Folder pilot several" and now go and find your downloaded files of the SATA driver. Now, select 'All' and ' OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Select only the two that mention "ICH8M. Now press "next". The display will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' and then 'Yes' to the prompt and then on "next" when done.
  + You are presented with the "Bootable ISO" screen. +
  + Put it a new inflammable CD in your CD burner, wait for it to be recognized and out any window that might appear to allow you to install files.

  + Under the 'Label' enter something like "XP for Toshiba Satellite A200" to identify the drive. +
  + Advanced settings to leave alone and now add the other required drivers by clicking on explore and copy them to the root directory to the temporary directory on your hard drive XP. It might be better to create a "Drivers" folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later. +
  + Now, click on the "Burn" button Now follow the remaining instructions to complete. +
  + You have now created an XP installation disc that contains your SATA drivers. +
  + - As you can tell, it of sound altogether, but avoids having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution. +

  + Hasta La Vista! +
  + Now you are ready to start the cleaning process, if you are brave enough to continue... +.

  + First, re-boot your laptop and the all start-up press F12 to change the boot order so that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is first. You can also use F2 and then change the Boot order from there. +

  + Now, insert your new XP installation disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, select boot from CD when you are prompted. +

  + The XP CD will now start copying the files and possibly display an options screen.
  + Select this option to install Windows. +
  + And then remove the hard drive C: partition (with Vista on) +.
  + Delete the partition used by Vista also F. +.
  + You will have to follow a lot of warning messages to delete the partitions. +
  + Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive. +.
  + Now install XP by following the instructions. +

  + Don't worry that the graphics are a bit large as once Windows has finished installing, you can run the graphics driver you copied on the the XP CD to correct this. +

  + Run three driver files: +.
  + win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver.
  + INFINST_AUTOL.exe Intel chipset software installation utility ' +.
  + Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver Setup.exe +.

  + Your graphics card must now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after the execution of the web Setup Wizard). But do not do this until you have installed your anti-virus software and firewall. +

  + Now go to "Device Manager" by "Control Panel" then "System" and then "hardware". Then look for any yellow question mark for all the problems. Right-click and run 'Update Driver' for the Hardware Update Wizard and allow the PC to search the web "this time only. +

  + If all goes well, everything should work OK now. +

  + Now go and have a drink to celebrate! +

  * After completing the installation, I found that I had no work wlan driver on my laptop. They are here (RTL8187B_WLAN_Adaptor), but with a big yellow question mark. I tried reinstalling them but it made no difference. I don't know why they don't will be will not installed properly.*

  * All went well and seem to work and all the familiar screens were there. I started using it and wanted to transfer some info from the laptop to my office. I copied the files on a disc using Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 and it seems to work, he went through the whole process without a hitch. When he had finished I checked the drive and it was empty he had no files on it at all. I tried several types/brands but the results (or lack of) is the same. The drive reads the discs will not drive write. Any ideas? *

  Thanks for reading this and I would appreciate any help/advice you may have.

  See you soon,.

  Mike

  Hello

  This means that everything is working properly without WLAN connection and burning the discs?

  Well, are you sure that your laptop is equipped with RTL8187B WLAN card? Therefore, you can check the vendor and device ID in Device Manager.
  But for all the portable Toshiba, you can download the driver WLAN here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  In addition, it would be interesting to know which drive you exactly used for the engraving process. I only use high-quality Verbatim and TDK media. I don t use Ashampoo or Nero, I use CD Burner XP because it the freeware tool and I can do anything I want with this program.

  Check it!

• Re: Equium A200-1V0: Vista won't load - system restore does not

  Toshiba Equium A200-1V0, purchased January ' 08
  Vista Home Premium

  Upgrade office 2007, rebooted fine, saved all the files. I went looking for vista security updates & Office including. Net3.0 - pc crashed during installation. F8 to repair pc & system restore to front office installed. everything seemed well & rebooted ok so I have backed up all critical files.

  reinstalled office 2007 & vista hanging on the required reboot.

  Try to load in safe mode & vista hangs at crcdisk.sys. It was suggested to remove all pcmcia & 1394 drivers, but the switches/s/p do not work in command prompt so I can't be sure enough to find them all to delete or rename.

  F8 for pc repair & while the menu appears, it is very slow to get there.
  Startup Repair detects no problem, System Restore won't work, so assuming that restore lost points (there were a few elders before the one I went to). Command prompt will run.

  Toshiba has provided a system restore disc, but crashes after language selection. It was suggested that the disk was duff, so I downloaded the ISO to a disk of vista without the extras toshiba restore & that said it is loading & then sits right on the blue/green screen of vista.

  I have a basic family official OEM of Vista editing copy for a new machine, I do build, so tried to boot from a full installation of windows (without formatitng) - this also hangs on the blue/green screen of vista. This is my first to face with a laptop without a correct installation disc, so if I format & reinstall the will I lose the recovery partition?

  Any other ideas of what to try?

  Hello

  I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but with the hardware
  If the reinstallation of Vista is not possible then this could be caused by a hardware problem
  I can only suggest on the malfunction of HARD, RAM disk. Everything is possible

  If I you would be then I would format the whole HARD drive I would be to delete all partitions and would try to reinstall the operating system from the recovery CD

  If it is not possible, then you should ask the ASP in your country for a control from laptop s!

  Good luck
