  Hello

  I have supply problems with my Satellite A100 laptop that I bought in europe 2 years ago. When the battery is run-down completely the computer will not run / start at all when it is plugged into the wall. It shows a light indicating that the battery is in charge even the domain controller in the light does not appear. The laptop must load for at least 1-2 hours before I can activate it. Push the power button to the computer also turn on / off the light sometimes. I can't use the computer at all until the same fully charged battery if light shows it is plugged into the wall. The outlet is fine.

  I also have other issues. First of all the computer not as to the rename files - often said that they are used, but they are not. Secondly, I have problems with toshiba recordnow cd / dvd burning program. I can open the program, but when I close it will not open until I have sign out and then sign back in. Thirdly, my computer love is no longer my sony digital camera memory cards if put directlt in laptop - it is said that they can be dangerous and will not access.

  Hello

  regarding your power problem:

  It seems that your motherboard is faulty. I had the same issue with an A100 and after replacing the motherboard, the problem has been resolved. They told me it was a kind of resistance or something as preventing the machine from power.

  The question of the name change is only registry related since the registry controls the access to the system. So you log on with an administrator account or with a regular account that was created for do not connect as an administrator of the computer?

  If not please google for "cannot rename files" that gives results much more then ask someone here. The registry could also be a cause for the issuance of recordnow!

  I Don t think that the card of your digital camera and your pc Don t like. Installed antivirus software? This might also be the reason.

  In your case, I suggest to bring your machine to an ASP (authorized service provider) and allow them to perform some checkup and proofreading materials.
  Back up your important data, and then perform a full restore of your machine (can be done with the recovery media supplied).

  See you soon

• His problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

  I constantly sound with the laptop problems. While I hear the windows startup noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound of things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player – in fact an error message will still appear. In Media Player, the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device... "appears. I have a standard pre installed Realtek Audio thing on my laptop. I tried to download a newer driver from Toshiba support center, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, sounds, everything is gray.

  Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)

  Thank you

  Hello

  The downloaded audio driver is compressed and before you start to install this driver you need to unzip it.
  You can use a free software, such as WinZip or WinRAR. You can download it from anywhere.

  I recommend that you first remove the sound card driver and Device Manager, and then install the new version downloaded from the page of Tosh.

  Good luck

• Can see router WLAN with Satellite A100 - PSAANE Vista

  Hello

  I have a satellite A100 PSAANE running Vista Ultimate that has trouble finding WIFI (atheros wlan card). The router is a Siemens gigaset transmitting the WPA2-PSK / WPA - PSK with dynamic channel assignment. In the past, I was able to get a wireless connection to my router with this laptop, but did find it difficult to detect the WIFI network sometimes.

  Location:
  Active wireless switch. Different WLAN of the A100 see whenever I update the list in Vista.
  Ever - at least most of the time that I do not see my own network.

  Other laptops running Windows XP however found my WLAN in these moments there.
  This implies a malfunction on the A100.
  Update (28/10) drivers for Atheros and Vista resulted in no w-network at all.

  Reset did not help. A reset of the router does not work nor the laptop next to the router of positioning.
  The failure of detection is a recurring event with this router.

  Currently the situation is that no WLAN is detected, then things got worse.

  Everyone has the same problems in a similar configuration?
  I feel that I might have a problem of material here.

  Thank you very much

  I had a similar situation with my two laptops Toshiba (new Satellite A200 and older Tecra M1). I was confused why the WIFI network is not visible the two notebooks. After a few reboots (laptop computers and router) I again was able to use the WLAN.

  I do not really understand what was wrong, but now it works again. Try the same thing. Stop the router for awhile and turn it back on.

• Strange sound problem with Satellite L740 TV outputs

  I'm having a strange problem here... I googled this several times already, and I only found the same solution mentioned several times and the given solution * not * work is to me.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L740 running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, with a 64-bit Intel Core i5 - 2410M @ 2.30 GHz CPU and 4 GB of physical RAM. My problem is the following...

  There are two different TVs in my house that I regularly connect my laptop via HDMI cable.
  The first is mine, and I can get sound through the TV very well when I plug it in.

  Sometimes, however, I will disconnect the computer from my TV and not get any sound through the laptop because he's trying to output to external speakers to TV.

  More importantly, when I connect my laptop to my * roommate * TV (the same make as mine, you mind), I can not all the sounds of his TV at all.

  This is a recent problem. Until this morning, I was able to get noise from two TV very well and only sometimes had problems with sound through the laptop itself, which has been easily resolved by restarting.

  It's just a hunch, but it's almost like * doesn't realize that there are two different TVs * that it is connected to my computer. Maybe it's stupid, I don't know, but be it, it's frustrating...

  * ALSO: * I've seen dozens of suggestions that I put my HDMI audio as default device. Yes, I did. It wasn't the issue. Is the same to activate my audio drivers in Device Manager. They are all turned on, so it's not that either. Any ideas?

  It's a bit strange if you connect the laptop to two identical televisions and use the same HDMI cable to the TV.

  Unfortunately, it all works automatically and I put t know if you can force your laptop to recognize two TVs on the same path.

  In the worst case you have to do it manually in the sound properties > playback devices.
  If it works with four mouse clicks you can change.

  I tested my laptop with two different TVs.
  At home, I have a Toshiba TV and at the office we use Sony. On both automatically get sound on the TV speakers.

  If you will be able to find the solution please let us know.

• Re: Windows Vitual PC with Satellite A100-906

  In the BIOS I did not upgrade to virtualization enable.

  Thank you

  I'm afraid that your computer laptop isn't designed to be used with virtualization.

• Temporary solution to load problem with Satellite C650

  I here provide a temporary solution to loading with Satellite C650 problem, which I have faced.

  First of all, I've updated my BIOS. After that, I removed the battery and plugged AC for 2-3 minutes.

  Then replace the battery and it loaded.

  However, the battery got charged up to 99% only and after that the interrupted load and the load remained at 99% and renewed battery indicating "plugged in, not charging."

  Therefore, each time I hv to repeat the procedure above to charge my battery.

  If any1 has the solution to the prob. above, it would be gr8 to hear.

  Thank you very much!

  Thanks for your posting.
  To be honest I really don t know what else you can expect and test it with new battery.

  I think that your laptop model must always have a warranty valid, right?
  If so, contact Toshiba nearest service provider and ask for replacement.

• Cannot match Smartphone with Satellite A100 for ActiveSync

  Hi, on board.

  I can't use ActiveSync to sync my phone with the laptop; It seems that the twinning of 2 devices fails.
  With USB connection I can ActiveSync successfully.

  My devices are:
  * Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAA9) with ActiveSync 4.2 and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 4.20.01
  * HTC MTeor with Windows Mobile 5.0 SmartPhone

  I tried to follow the HowTo in:
  http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  How-> ActiveSync via Bluetooth (TOSHIBA PC - smartphone with Windows Mobile 5)

  I find cela the opportunity to say that it is wrong that the HowTo is not in the English language.

  In any case, I followed him through until page 8, 18 statement, where the third picture shows the box in ActiveSync checked; my phone doesn't have this box: it has "Serial Port".
  I check "Serial Port" (also tried not to check...) and continue until the 21 statement. Well, it stops there; I don't understand that messagebox; in fact nothing happens, not in the laptop or the phone and they don't get matched.

  Found here a recent thread, asserting the need to define COM7 in the registry. I did it. Oddly enough, COM7 is not my LoalCOM server, but a customer LocalCOM; COM8 is the LocalCOM server.
  I tried also with COM8.

  I tried to remove Bluetooth Stack completely and reinstall (embedded version and latest version).
  I reinstall ActiveSync 4.2.
  I also tried with ActiveSync 4.5 BETA.

  Nothing worked for me.
  Help, please.

  Note: I have activesynced the same phone via bluetooth successfully with a HP laptop which has its own bluetooth software with, I think, virtual serial port driver of widdcomm.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This Smartphone is not known to me, but I really put t know why you try to use BT between MTeor and laptop when connecting USB works. Using this connection, you can do whatever you want.

  BT on Smartphone is useful if you want to connect the small BT headset, but I don't see the reason to try this when the USB connection is working successfully.

  If there is no success I put t think it is Toshiba related question and also try to contact HTC support. They know more about the own products.

• Problems with Satellite A300 - 1GC XP install - CD does not?

  Hello

  I have a few looks to round in various forums and found no answer to everything.

  I have the Satellite A300-1GC and had (from last night) vista on it. As caused Vista
  a lot of problems with different programs, I decided to get rid of him.

  The problem is now--if I stick my XP installation CD it it bed "press any key to boot from CD".
  Do that and then nothing happens. The CD read head stops going back and forward
  but nothing happens at all. Not even the beginning of the blue installation screen.

  Any ideas where this comes from?

  The CD-rom can also be run in AHCI mode (can a CD player what do I do?) and requires drivers?
  I have tried various CD XP - neither work. The last one I had was with SP3 and build in February 2009 so quite recent.

  Clues?

  See you soon
  Tobimaster

  Hello

  In your case the question has nothing to do with the SATA mode (AHCI mode or Compatible) but it looks like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the Win XP disc
  Why? Who knows

  Always is it that the CD cannot be read and so the installation can not get.

  Try to copy this disc by using another computer and then you can try using the disc copied on order to install Win XP.

  Just FYI: I use TDK (CD and DVD) r discs... I am very satisfied

• Can I use the car adapter More4You PX1189E-1NPO with Satellite A100?

  Hello
  I have the car more4you PX1189E-1NPO adapter and the Satellite A100-169 power supply 15V witch.
  Adapter and this laptop work together?
  (On the car adapter it is written: 'Use with all portable Toshiba up to 19V dc 6.3Amps').
  And Toshiba.eu says:
  UTES & OPTION_ID = 98981 http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/individualOptions.do?service=EU&action=SHOW_ATTRIB & tab = 1 #1
  "The adapter adjusts, conditions and regulates the power of entry to the correct voltage required for your notebook."
  On the Site of Toshiba Switzerland they even say it regulates to 15V.
  If I can use it with my laptop 15V, isn't?

  Hello

  Jordan is right, he wasn't. I have the same card and the card is really just for the machines of 19V. It s easy to find, just look at the site of the compatible machines and you will be
  mention that each of these machines is a 19V machine.

  I think that that s a mistake of misunderstanding of the administrator of the site or who designed the site, then believe me, buy another, which is 15V and not to 19V.
  And Don t manual work on something that has been built and certified for this and for this machine. Believe me, this connector is already the right one for the machines according to,.
  Thus, if your machine is broken because you have modified the original equipment, then your warranty will be revocated and your machine has disappeared.
