• Fan on my Equium A200 makes strange noises

  Fan cooling on my Equium A200-1AC age of 2 months is a hell of a racket suddenly, would it be the bearings on the cooling fan goes all ready?

  Does anyone else have this problem? I really don't want to have to send it away for 2 weeks if I have to get it fixed

  Sorry, but I don't really know what you want to do if the service check is not an option. As John wrote, it is not the time to play with the one laptop. The laptop is brand new and with warranty valid. Maybe is the problem, not complicated and can be repaired very quickly.

• 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+

  * 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!

• Equium A200-1v0 overheating

  Hello

  I Equium A200-1v0 and well it keeps overheating and just close his auto.
  No idea why it is not used or on any weird surface.

  More I have problems where I can have only one internet window explore open at the same time, the other goes down and some websites make it crash (like paypal for example).

  Some games are planted. Command and Conquer Generals to one and sometimes Theme Hospital too.

  Yes, a lot goes wrong. No idea why.

  Thanks for any info :)

  Hi Andrew

  In my opinion, these questions are related to the same reason.
  I think that the high internal temperature causes problems with overheating and leads to the breakdown of the system.

  You should know that all internal devices such as the CPU or GPU produce a lot of heat during playback of kid. This heat must be cooled.
  But if cooling modules don't work properly and can not cool devices with better performance then the laptop automatically stops to prevent the equipment from damage.

  In most cases, the main reason for these overheating problems could be dust and debris inside the laptop.

  You can try to clean the fans using the professional cleaning. I use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores on online shops.
  This tool is useful for removing dust and debris among the cooling modules in-house.

  Best regards

• How to install Windows 2000 on Equium A200-1VO?

  Hello

  Can someone help me?

  I would like to install Windows 2000 on the Toshiba Equium A200-1VO laptop, but I need the drivers to do this.
  I have tried the Toshiba web page but cannot find the drivers.

  Can someone please?

  Thank you

  You will not be the drivers because this Vista designed for laptop is not supported by this old operating system. Maybe you can find the drivers for Windows XP Home edition, but not for W2000.

  All you can do is search for the drivers on the net and hope you have success with it.
  I don't know why you would do this, but perhaps you should accept that at some point Toshiba must say stop and don't waste time with the support of the older operating system. I also believe that 0.01% people want to use this old operating system on new generation laptops.

  There is no sense to make support for W2000. What do you think about this?

• Equium A200: Modem USB - disconnection after a few min

  Hallo,

  I have a Toshiba Equium A200 computer laptop with Windows 7 32 bit. I have been using a Modem to USB Internet MTN on it for a year now.

  Two months ago my Web pages stopped loading (on Google Chrome, Firefox, each one) USB would be connected, with a good connection, but after 2-3 minutes of surfing, my webpages simply won t load more, unless I do a restart, in which case I would just repeat the process.

  I contacted my ISP, it s not their fault. I have re-installed all the drivers needed, re-installed the USB modem, I uninstalled and reinstalled all of my webbrowers.

  The USB modem works fine on all other computers. Other USB modems are suffering from the same problem on my laptop, SO the problem is somewhere on my laptop.

  Is there a setting some hand what should I change? Port A setting, or something in the registry may be editor? I have to re - install WIndows 7?

  I really want to fix myself, before returning to the tech guys, they are VERY expensive, where I stay.

  Your help is appreciated kindly!

  UPDATE: the Council following another forum seems to have worked:

  Turn off, saving the settings for hubs/USB ports on Device Manager and see if that corrects issues. I had Windows do stupid shit with power settings USB before who would constantly unplug my mouse.

• 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 ;)

• Equium A200; How to order the recovery CD

  When I buy my Equium A200 computer in October/November of this year (2007), I was surprised to not find DVD/CD recovery with the package.
  I contacted the store where I bought the computer from and they said they would be arange to be sent to me.

  They say now that the CD is not their problem.
  What the problem is then it. Contact the Toshiba ASP?

  For me it s very strange that the Toshiba Recovery CD was not shipped with the laptop.
  Usually the recovery CD should always be supplied with the device.

  Anyway, the ASP (authorized service provider) may sell the right recovery CD/DVDs. Contact the guys in your country and ask for the CD compatible and right.

  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.

  Any help or thoughts?

  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.
