  I recently updated my router to a Netgear DGND3700.

  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.

  Hello

  Equium A200-PSAF5 seems to be equipped with the Realtek Wlan card and the Wlan driver should be downloaded from the Toshiba Wlan Portal:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/ or from the Toshiba driver page.

  Hello Simone

  If you want to downgrade OS on your Vista preinstalled laptop, it's very important to do BIOS update. If I remember correctly, it must be updated to BIOS version 5.20. Please check on the Toshiba download page.

  After the BIOS update, please install all the stuff of the Toshiba download page according to document Instructions of facilities. The order of the facilities is very important. In this case, everything should work well.

  Please be careful with the update of the BIOS. Download update for your model of laptop tracking number PSxxx. Before you begin to update BIOS don't forget that the laptop is connected to the power supply current.

• Need drivers of Windows XP Home for my Equium A200 (PSAF5E)

  I have an Equium A200 PSAF5E, which came with Vista installed, because of Vista was total garbage.
  I formatted my laptop but can t locate any drivers for Windows XP.

  Could someone tell where I can download the drivers for XP, so that I can get my laptop working again, please?

  Windows Vista is not an option that I don't have a Vista disc installation and disappeared totally hard drive, so there is no recovery console.

  Never trust a seller as the salesman said we support for XP and I could put XP on this laptop, if I choose to but as I have said that there is no drivers for XP on the Toshiba site.

  Thanks for any help.

  Edit:

  I browsed the forum and someone else has the same problem as me and he was advised to do the following

  "Either you have to download on the site of Toshiba or the Intel Web site Intel Matrix Storage Manager directly.

  On the Toshiba page, you will find the Intel storage Manger under
  Notebook-online satellite-online series Equium => Equium A200 (i.e. PSAE8)-Online Storage Manager"

  I can't make any sense it and don t understand how a Matrix Storage Manager could include the drivers for all devices on my laptop
  Could someone please explain in simple terms where to download the drivers for my Equium A200 PSAF5E for all devices such as wireless LAN, video, chipset, audio, etc.?

  Thank you once again.

  I think that Equium A200 doesn't is not supported for Windows XP, because on the Toshiba site there are no drivers for XP.
  Of course, you can install XP, but you will find all the drivers. That's the problem.

  But you can search on external Web sites for pilot.
  For example

  -Intel chipset: [www.intel.com]
  -Realtek soundchip: [www.realtek.com]
  -WLAN driver: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
  -Bluetooth: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/

  Good luck!

• Can I get digital camera on Equium A200 for editing video or save?

  I use an Equium A200-1V0.

  Anyone will be able to tell me how I can do this please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You are meaning that the firewire port.
  Well, as I know that the Equium A200-1V0 does not support such port t - it?

  But the laptop supports EXPRESSCARD housing.
  You can buy an Express card which supports the firewire interface and could connect the camcorder to the laptop using this card.

  Of course you would need a software to import the video from the camcorder files

  I m using Nero with different plug-ins. You can also use WinDVR or Adobe Premiere, but the latest software is not cheap because it of designed for professional use.

• 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: +.

  + 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.

  + 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.

  + 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. +

  * 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,.

  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.

• Equium A200-1VO: update Bios issue

  Someone at - it updated the Bios here with the latest offer.
  I wanted to do because the port for express adapter card seems to not work properly.

  But all I get is an error message - 120 of Winphlash saying the Bios is incorrect, but I downloaded it twice and double checked each stage.

  Equium A200-1V0 seems to belong to the series of PSAF5.
  Have you downloaded the BIOS for this series?

  In addition, you can check the label at the bottom of the unit. You should see the serial number too.

  By the way; I put t think that the BIOS update will solve the problem of port adapter express card.
  I put t know exactly what the problem is, but if you use the compatible and fully support the express cards then everything should function.

• Equium A200-1V0: is it possible to create a new Toshiba Recovery CD

  Hello

  I just wanted to know on Equium A200-1V0 I'm able to make the recovery CDs and DVDs?
  I just found this link (http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/ALL/-TSB001019.htm) that if I choose option 3 does that mean you can make CDs recovery and recovery dvd. This recovery method apply to Equium A200-1V0?

  Second thing, it is that someone can tell me what type of card mother Equium A200-1V0, if possible to his specifications.

  Last thing. When this model was released?

  Well, I have this laptop but will buy the first week of the new year. Just do a little research.

  Help with this will be appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to create an own Toshiba Recovery CD.
  In the document of Toshiba, you can see this info:

  Only templates that come with it "Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility" (ie: Tecra A2)

  It seems that the Equium A200 was already delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and you have no need to create a new.
  The procedure described above applies to the Toshiba laptop computer which were delivered without the recovery CD

  Best regards and happy new year ;)

• 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.

• Equium A200-IVO - no sound after installing XP

• Equium A200 - adding hardware Bluetooth internal

  I'm tired of the external addition of a Bluetooth USB dongle into my Equium A200 PSAE8E (which has no such internal device).

  Is it possible to add the original Bluetooth Toshiba INTERNAL device as an alternative?
  Anyone know the specific model number (to be ordered) and is easy to install without resourcing to authorized Toshiba service?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  First of all you cannot pass this laptop with internal Bluetooth card because you will lose the warranty! These updates can be done by an ASP.

  Therefore, you will need to contact the authorized service provider in your country for these updates and guys are going to use the compatible module...

  But do you really want to send the phone to a service point? I think that a USB Bluetooth dongle is really not a bad solution, and personally, I would prefer an external solution...

• Equium A200: Unable to connect to the Wlan - no IP address of the router

  Dear readers

  I have a laptop Equium A200 Toshiba.
  I TI a year, a little more of it and it did work under Vista perfectly, no problem.

  First of a sudded 4 weeks ago my wife told me that she can no longer connect to the internet.
  I thought that it was something less serious, until I couldn't solve the problem.

  The laptop is not receiving an IP address wireless or cable modem.
  I type cmd and I get an IP starting with 169 in wireless and wireed cases.
  I also tried to reset the NETWORK card, but it does not work.

  It's frustrating seriously because we don't change anything on the other machine, then let updates automatically, this is obviously some update that triggered connect to stop the local distribution of load and internet access now it shows only local access.

  Appreciate any help out there on root causes.
  So far not much dad worked. R/Paulcou

  Hello

  In your case, I would first check the settings of the router.
  I put t know what settings of your router is compatible, but you should go thought the simple options (such as when the first router configuration) and should check if everything is set correctly.

  In addition, you should check the settings of WLan connection. In the properties of WLan connection, you would find the TCP/IP protocol. Check the properties of the TCP/IP Protocol and set all parameters (IP address, getaway, etc.) to get automatically.

  If all of these settings are set correctly, then start the console (CMD) and use the command:
  ipconfig / renew

  This should refresh the IP address and in most cases, it helps.

  Last but not least, you should check if you can update the WLan driver!
