• Equium A200 - does not load

  I have Equium A200, been fine until last week

  It will be not just load up unless you really want with force the wire in the connection point. One no matter what idea s power passing by the lead straight up the computer what I tested, and when I finally get it to load it only lasts 30 minutes on a full charge? Be done I ve had almost four years without any problems, but I would like to know if someone has or has had the same problem

  Thank you for taking the time to read this

  Hey

  For me it looks like the power cord is broken or it s something wrong with the power connector on mother/computer laptop card.

  Best way to determine what part is causing this problem needs to connect to an AC/DC adapter. If you have a friend with compatible adapter will ask if you can test the adapter on your laptop. In order to check if it s the AC/DC adapter or power connector for laptop.

  I think that in both cases, you need some spare parts and you can get a provider of service authorized in your country. :)

• Equium A200 gel

  Hi all

  Have a major problem, just before Christmas, my laptop started to freeze, now I couldn't do a thing with it and I had to reboot to get it going again, it seems to freeze all the time now.

  I remember now to change my ram before it started to freeze
  so I had a fresh stick of ram and tried, but it freezes again, so I thought that the HARD drive was endangered and I put one in but still its freezing point, I even reinstalled windows seven but still the same.

  It can last anywhere from a minute to an hour before freezing, I even tried heatsink on the fan but nothing and as I fell speed fan and all ok it

  I really need laptop for College, if any suggestion would be great.
  Wanted to say it of a Toshiba Satellite A200 and its 5 years.

  Do you use 100% compatible RAM modules?

  In any case, I also thought that HARD drive may be the problem. What operating system do you use?
  Have you tested original Vista you got with that old book?

  It is not easy to say what happens. When the laptop freezes using a specific operation or this gel can problem occurs at every moment?

  Hello

  The Sat A200-1V0 was equipped with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  So why you n t use this disk and try to start and to reinstall the operating system.

  Insert the Vista DVD into the drive and start the laptop. Press the F12 key. This will enable the start on-screen menu.
  Here, you might choose the CD/DVD drive as a boot device and could boot from the recovery DVD.

  But note; This procedure would format the HARD drive too

• DVD CD-ROM on Equium A200 - error Code 37 problem

  Hello

  My laptop does not recognize not the DVD or CD even if the laptop is only 2 months old. When I go to Device Manager came up with an error message: Windows cannot initialize the device of this material (Code 37) driver.

  Anyone know if it is an easy problem to solve?

  Any advice would be much appreciated!

  Perhaps this accelerated procedure could contribute to:

  Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
  Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

• 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

• 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 A200-1V0 - 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.

• Problems with iTunes sync - Equium A200-1v0

  Hello

  wonder if someone could help with this?

  I have trouble to synchronize my Toshiba Equium A200-1v0 with my iphone in itunes.
  The laptop worked well with an ipod for years are, however, have no joy with the iphone.

  Someone suggested that my drivers may need to be updated.
  How can I find the specific drivers needed?
  Anyone else had a similar problem with itunes?

  Thank you

  Why do you want to update the driver for laptop?
  This has nothing to do with the laptop.
  I guess that this is related to the Apple software and I recommend to reinstall this kind of things together.

  I had also some problems with the iTunes software. I put like that, but I need to synchronize the files with my iphone and I had to reinstall it many times to make it work.

• Equium A200-Vista repair always at boot

  Dear all,

  This is my first time in the forums and I need help.
  I have a computer Equium A200 laptop running Windows Vista 32. Recently, I got a malware problem and my only recourse was to erase everything and use the Toshiba Recovery disk that was provided.

  I reinstalled and the computer restarted without any problem... However if I stop completely for a short time, when the machine starts again the Windows Startup Repair keeps operating. I have let it run its course, but it never actually repairs anything. I even wiped all new just ran the recovery disc that put on the basis of windows vista, closed the machine for about a minute and then he did it again, windows startup repair yes returned.

  My bios is the latest version and I ran a test on the memory and hard drive... all diagnoses appear correct.

  My laptop is still under warranty.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you
  Ray

  Hi dude

  Your question is really strange to be honest I have never seen anything like it.
  Of course, the repair function on Vista is known to me and my repaired the system Vista in the past too, but this doesn t always appear at the start of the laptop.

  However, I imagine that this issue has something to do with your system and you should first try to clean with the CCleaner. It is a free tool and it repairs the operating system and the registry.

  More upgrade Vista to the last State. Install SP1 and all other updates.
  Maybe it helps!

  Good luck

• Serious teething problems (problems of ubuntu-windows, hard disk problems boot loader)

  I have a laptop ASUS K50IN with recovery partition windows preinstalled on the hard disk (Windows 7, Home Premium edition, 64 - bit).

  I formatted the entire hard drive with Lubuntu installation dvd, I used Lubuntu, for a few weeks with success.
  (I used a removable drive for installation.)
  After that, I wanted to do a dual-boot system (windows-ubuntu).
  I deleted the windows install Summary Lubuntu with recovery partition, so I downloaded a version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit and burned to dvd (I have my product key from the back of the machine). Downloaded from: msft.digitalrivercontent.net.
  I deleted the partitions lubuntu until windows install with windows dvd, made a partition for windows (with the 100 MB system reserved required),
  and began the installation process which took place successfully, but it failed to restart after the installation. As much as I remember came problems.
  I had a few bad boots, but I managed to run the new windows 7, made some configurations, programs installed on it. I always have problems with reboots. (It was stable when I have manged to get into windows itself.)
  I searched the net and found that ubuntu uses grab as boot loader, and it isn't getting deleted with the simple formatting even with a windows installation.
  I tried to repair the boot loader of windows to the Master Boot Record by running the command from the windows installation disk prompt (many tries to start).
  I tried these commands unsuccessfully:
  /fixmbr Bootrec.exe,
  /FixBoot Bootrec.exe,
  /RebuildBcd Bootrec.exe,

  (by the way these commands responded succession of repair)

  Bootsect/nt60 SYS/MBR,
  list not found no operating system compatible hits.

  (Auto repair could not fix problem.)

  Then I used DBAN to completely wipe my drive.
  I used the values in interactive mode (PRNG:mersenne twister, method: DoD short, collar to check: last).
  Ran for 9 hours, crushed 3 times, has completed successfully without errors.
  I read that it removes the MBR sector too.
  I tried to start the windows installation disc, and it shut my computer when it arrives at the end of the second bar with "WINDOWS IS LOADING of FILES.
  Same problem with the installation of ubuntu dvd.

  Same problem with the DBAN disk.

  Same problem when booting from the hard drive.

  Keeps turning itself off in unpredictable ways. Sometimes, I managed to get in installation disc menus, then comes the turn off.

  Above all it stops early in the boot process.

• 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+

  + Now place your drive to install XP in your CD drive, if it autoruns, leave him. +
  + Run Nlite and follow the instructions on the screen. +
  + The program will ask where is your XP disk then it will ask you where you want to save the copy. +
  + 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.
  + Now in Nlite, under "Mode", select "Direct Burn" +.
  + 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,.

  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!
