• Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

  Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

  The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

  HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

  Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

  I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

• Re: Room Temperature for Satellite A100-999

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-999 (old lil :/) with XP

  I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

  at the present time about the temperature I have are: (Celsius)
  Motherboard: 60 + -.
  CPU: 65 years and more-

  When it has a high performance, it reached 90 - 95 +-. And if im right... the CPU with this temperature control can be activated automatically right?
  As im not an expert in the field, can someone guide me a bit?

  From now to detect temperatures im using the software: Everest AIDA64. (I guess that temperatures are not 100% Reliable, but they give me an idea).
  If there are ways to cool the laptop (I know cleaning is one of them of course) I would be grateful to receive some information.

  Thanks in advance

  > I was wondering what are the temperature ranges at low, medium or high performance for the motherboard and CPU.

  It is not easy to say dude. The temperature can be always different and always depends on the use of the laptop.
  On the Intel page, you will find details about your CPU and you can find the temperature for the CPU limit. It s mainly around 100 C.

  However, if the temperature is too high, then the laptop would shut down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage. If the laptop is secure with such protection.

  By the way; the temperature can occur at a higher value if cooling modules and grids are obstructed by dust. So it s advisable to clean the grilles and fans of compressed air for usinf time spraying time.

• Can satellite A100-999 - I recover the HDD password?

  Hi all

  I had a virus, so I formatted my computer, a Satellite A100-999. After I did, I was going to install Windows Vista, but I never could, because they ask my HDD password and I don't know what password it is that, I don't see it anywhere. My computer has been installed in the store, I only have a bootable disc, they gave me.

  My question is: How can I recover my HDD password? Is it possible? I can boot the system in any other way?

  Thank you!

  Sara

  It of not possible recovery or removes the HARD drive password. An ASP peut t for this too.

  Sorry, but in this case, you need a new HARD drive. There's no other way.

• Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

  I just received an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.

  From what I've seen, it's the pa3400u-1brs but I wanted just confirmation that I intend to buy it at the Japan because it is probably cheaper.
  Also, is there any information on how long does the battery last?

  Thank you

• Satellite C660 - 2d 7 continuous fan start-up and stop - is this normal?

  Hello! I have a 'newbie' question, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful :)

  I got a refurbished c660 - 2d 7 Currys yesterday and the fan will continue turning and stopping. Usually too much worry (it's not particularly strong or whatever it is), but as it's a refurb. and I don't know what he was returned for before, I want to make sure it's healthy! It does not warm at all, it is stone-cold to the touch and I don't do anything too tender (a couple of tabs open in google chrome and sometimes a solitaire game), but maybe that's not hot because the fan does its job, hehe! It gives a little quiet snoring then stops every few minutes, what is normal and OK?

  This is my first time owning a computer windows laptop and from what I've seen other people, the fan is usually noisy or not altogether (will not compare to the MacBook since they like mini cookers and little need to operate the fan at the maximum all the time), so I wondered if he was trying to start the fan/fans maximum and default? Is there a utility on it anywhere which will check if the fans are okay? (It came with many Toshiba apps, they have not checked this yet).

  If this is normal, and they do that, that's fine, I just want to fix it as soon as possible if she is sick or must replace fan/fans. Thanks for any advice you can give!

  Edit: Also the hard disk is divided into two equal partitions, is it possible to cancel this easily? It seems unnecessary to have shared it this way when he uses only 8 GB for data recovery!

  Hello

  Yes, it's nothing unusual, that the fan continues to go if a certain level of temperature was approached.
  Alternatively, you can control this behavior a little fan.

  You can change the power of Win 7 to friendly State management settings battery.
  In this case the CPU wouldn't create too much heat, and cooling modules would not go too often.

• Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

  I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
  Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
  And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
  So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

  I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

  What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
  Any help is appreciated.

  HM, delicate sounds.
  I suggest the following:

  Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

  If you have any questions, just ask.

  Have a nice weekend

• Satellite A100-192 overheats and stops automatically

  My 9 month a100-192 * is overheating. specifically my cpu (processor intel centrino duo).
  In normal operation (runing nothing too 'heavy', only for things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.

  Really warm and not so comfortable to work, what makes the left side of the keyboard. The temperature is still higher than when running something demending. Do not have meassued that the temperature, but I persume it is really, really high.

  After aprox. one hour of play "company of heroes" the computer closed like a messure of security due to the large heat (it happened more than once).
  I do not think that the fans are blocked with dust, because from what I see they have clean air. Also I don't think it's the hard drive (it's temperature is about 40 degrees celsius).

  Maybe it's my ati radeon x 1600, but I doubt that, as the temperature is very high, even if not matter what either graphically demanding (victory of base xp environment).

  What could be the problem?

  * processor intel centrino duo @ 2 GHz, 1, 5 GB, ati mobility radeon x 1600 with 256 MB, 100 GB hard drive
  * Jieme temperature CPU with CPUCooL

  Hello

  > In normal operation (nothing too 'heavy', running only things like Opera, foobar, thunderbird and others) the temperature is around the 50-60 degrees celsius * and that it itself is too.
  Unfortunately, I'm not agree with you. The level of 50-60 degree temperature is not too high. My laptop also reaches this level if I m only to connect to the internet.

  May I ask how do you use the laptop?
  The laptop must be placed on the table or desk and you should have enough free space around the laptop for cool air circulation.
  The cooling grids must be free!
  Check if fans can turn with a maximum return.
  Dust and debris inside of the laptop stops especially cooling modules run properly.

  What graphic do you use?
  Have you used one from the manufacturing of the graphics card? This driver does not support a protection from overheating!
  Therefore, you must use the drivers of Toshiba's own graphics card!

• Satellite A100-999: the process of recovery (without recovery DVD/CD)?

  Hi all

  Here is my GOAL: I want to reinstall the original Windows Vista as it was when we bought this laptop.

  My PROBLEM: we never managed to create recovery DVDs (just after the purchase), always gave an error... today and to my surprise, I can't find any operating system recovery tool is...

  1. to the power of power off: I tried the button "0" (as read on the internet), but did nothing special...

  2 - I tried then in the options menu (after F8 on reboot): FIX YOUR COMPUTER
  Then (after choosing the Spanish language and the connection as a user), I tried to launch the WINDOWS RESTORE COMPLETE lo, but he said that no CD/DVD... (no current number with this = CD/DVD drive works fine)

  3 - I then tried another interesting option: RECOVERY HHD (more or less like this, as I have in Spanish version)... Just a pop-up open (maybe on the DVD recovery) but without any touch of the process...

  More complicated now, isn't?

  4 INFO:
  I could find the hidden partition and display it. It contains files and folders: a record 'source', 'boot.sdi"if I remember correctly... and maybe more...
  => I copied on a USB key and registered on a new DVD (and the image.iso of them as well) and repeat points 2 and 3 above, but nothing has changed... (the content of this DVD is read without problem on another laptop)

  => QUESTIONS:
  -This folder and files (found in the hidden partition) means that the recovery is still here?
  -Are there a special file.exe or the procedure to follow in order to be able to launch these files found?
  (my ultimate last chance: order than the recovery CD of Toshiba, if it is still possible)

  Thanks in advance
  S.

  > I understand now that these files (hidden partition) are those used for the display of this special menu (after you click REPAIR MY COMPUTER) with the COMPLETE WINDOWS RESTORE, RECOVERY HHD...

  > Is that correct?

  No, the small hidden partition is created by the Windows system, and these aren't the recovery disc files.
  Toshiba Recovery disk files are placed (in general) on the D partition, it is not hidden.

  > So I guess I should have a COLLECTION case somewhere... but I read in some messages of this type of comment: 'the series A100 not fitted the HARD drive recovery partition ".

  That could be just because the A100 is old series and drive HARD recovery was not available at the moment
  As far as I know the series A200 and new series were equipped with recovery option.

  > If not available, I'm already so on this last-chance-step explained above? This means to order the DVD of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Here is the link to the page where you can order a recovery for the EU Toshiba notebook disk series but I don't very well if you'll be able to order this disc don't due to the age of the laptop of m.

  Can someone help me

  Thank you

  Hello

  Did you remove the old driver first? Try to manually remove and install a new one after the reboot.

• S2: fan runs fast and stops and runs quickly and stops

  See also: I have exactly the same problem, very annoying with the fan and already had bios updated by our support team. The S1 fan is running at a constant speed. How can I do the fan of the S2 to ride at a constant speed.

  Toshiba has a solution?

  I just got my (used to have a S1) S2, but the fan is very noisy. It is noisy it is even annoying me during labor.

  I updated the driver in power saving mode and the power to register the software. But the sound remains.

  The fan also seems to operate continuously at full speed. Especially when loading the batteries upwards again.

  In battery mode
  In battery mode the fan starts, goes to high speed, stops for a short period, starts, going at high speed, stops for a shotr then that implemented site, etc etc this cycle is repeated over and over again. Very annoying.

  Why as with the S1 series where the fan seems to work constantly but that at low speed if you do not hear it.

  Mode full power
  The fan only is in battery mode back regularly at top and goes down to reduce speed also with regular periods. Why not let the fan turns at average speed?
  And as written above when the battery GET fans continue to run at high speed noisy!

  Is there an update of the material of possibel with a fan with less noise? Maybe by any other type of fan.

  I think to go back to my S1 and sell this S2 as it is very boring school work.

  Hello Jan

  I understand you very well. I use Tecra M2 and it is very interesting that in my case, the cooling fan runs periodically at the level of the low speed and if I work in the Office I can hear any.

  On your device, hot air comes out on the left side, and in my opinion it is a little stronger than on the units that have this placed at the rear. Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about replacing cooling ventilation. In this case, you can try to test all options in the power management (cooling method and the performance of the processor). I put t know if the BIOS update can help, but you can try it. Finally, try to remove the tool, restart the device and check how it works without this tool.

  Good luck!

• Need English version of Vista for my Satellite A100

  I bought my computer laptop Satellite A100-999 of Valencia, Spain. I'm from Romania. The seller told me that Windows Vista also has English as language of work. He was wrong. Only for task is English. I have tried many time to switch to English, but I have not found anything. Then... I wonder if someone can lead me somewhere or give me a patch with the English for Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Nedelcu

  I'm afraid that you have misunderstood something. The seller probably meant that Vista is also available in English, but you can not switch pre-installed version in each language.
  If you want to have vista on English, you must buy Microsoft facilities to original Vista DVD and do a clean install of the OS.

  All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities on the English version, you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Bye and good luck!

• Problem WiFi Switch on my Satellite A100

  If I turn on my Satellite A100-999 with the Wi - Fi switch to 'on' position is UNABLE to connect to an available WLAN. But if I turn the switch off and then on again, works normally. If I'm going on my first pc and on the Welcome screen I turn on the Wi - Fi switch, it works ok, either.
  I know that other peoples always have the switch 'on' and the system when connect detect a WLAN.

  I need help to fix this problem
  Thank you and receive apologies for my bad English.
  Diego

  Is this a serious question for you?

  I don't know why the WLan doesn't automatically connect after that the laptop was turned on but eventually it s m for only the settings of the software.

  My laptop supports Intel WiFi card and so I can connect to the WLan using the Intel ProSet utility or the own XP settings.
  The Intel ProSet utility is a client application of WLan and it configures the WLan settings. Here, I chose my favorite Wireless Lan and together the settings always connect automatically to this key Wlan if available (or something like that) and it works fine

  I put t say you must use the Intel ProSet utility, but maybe you should test different options and different configuration settings.

  Anyway, as mentioned above, I put t think that it s really a serious problem and I could live with them.

• How to Exchange screen cracked on Satellite A100-495

  Hi all

  My sister gave me his Satellite A100-495 to repair broken screen. Now, I am looking for an instruction open Notepad and replace the TFT, but I can't find one?
  Someone who could give me a link?
  (And Yes, I know not to risk... ;-))

  KR, komo

  Dear KOMO

  Please don't get me wrong but replacing the screen is quite complicated, and for that you need some manuals with accurate description how do. Unfortunately this document isn't public and you do not download.

  So the question is what to do now. As Akuma has already written you can Google around and maybe find something, but you have to understand that everything you do is at your own risk. Maybe you should seek professional help. It is better to pay a little bit and it will be well and properly. No you don't have to do this a Toshiba service.

  Check all possibilities and try to find the best deal.

  In any case, good luck!

• Satellite A100 display empty but external vga works

  Hello
  my two-year old Satellite A100-847 screen has stopped working. I used the external VGA monitor for a few days,
  and then switched back to laptop computer LCD and discovered that it doesn't work. It shows nothing, only the gray backlight.
  The LCD does not work even at start-up in WIN XP, or AC or battery power. I tried to disassemble the screen according to some guide
  to check if the cable is firmly in his place in connection to the LCD, but it has not solved the problem.
  I use the original BIOS and the somewhat updated nvidia display driver, it worked fine until now, so I suggest this isn't a driver/bios problem.
  (but maybe that is it, so I tried to install the original display with no effect driver.) I don't want to try to Flash the new bios and meet up with Kiss to the top view and bios too)
  Video output for external monitor is quite well, start-up or in the victory.

  Everyone sees a solution, please? Or should I just go to the service provider...
  Thank you
  Pepe

  I think that it s a hardware problem of the display or the FL-inverter.
  The FL inverter is part hidden somewhere close to the screen.
  It controls the backlight of the display.

  So you should go to an ASP, they can order the parts and exchange it or looking to ebay for a complete display and Exchange yourself.
