  Hello world

  I recently purchased Windows Vista Basic and since Home Edition? m running my recorder, a carpet of this new OS on my U200 163 * a UJ-842 can burn CD - R or CD - RW properly.
  I think my firmware needs to be updated, but Toshiba nor Mat * a are able to help me.

  You have an idea?
  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I don t think you need to update the firmware.
  I recommend using a compatible support and supported!

  In the user manual, you will find a list of supported CD and DVD!

  Also try to burn the CD or DVD with extra like Nero burning software.
  Nero supports an option to test the drive. He learned the best speed and control the burning procedure to get performance better combustion.

• 3.30 BIOS bug with Linux on Satellite U200 163

  Good evening

  3.30 BIOS does not work properly on my U200 163 (dual boot using Grub).
  (all that has been done on XP Toshiba EU site, with the correct procedures).

  Sometimes the "Toshiba" splash image does not appear, and the image has a hard time (Please note that the arrows to choose the boot option are not available in this case...).
  (Note that this point is independent of the operating system...)
  Sometimes, Grub does not appear (but a start of the first line of the menu).
  My shortcut keys do not work on Kubuntu (they do on the version 1.50).

  I finally go back to version 1.50, which works perfectly with the boot image, Grub, Ubuntu or XP.

  Please note that the changelog information data on Toshiba U.S. and none EU from Toshiba... Why? (not even a link!)
  It would be useful for me to see that I don't have the 3.30 anyway?

  Ford Hi

  As you probably know the BIOS updates are not specifically designed for the Grub, Ubuntu or any other Linux.

  In the first stage, the update of the BIOS has been designed with Microsoft OS and it s compatible with Vista and other products Ms.
  Of course, its a shame that the different distribution of Linux only does not work correctly with the version 3.30 but to my knowledge, Toshiba does not support Linux distributions and you will get no guarantee that any Linux will work fine.

  As you know most of the people want to install and use the Vista and the Microsoft OS and Linux No. So it of your choice to use Linux but in this case you should not use Bios 3.3.

  Greetings

  PS: If it please follow Forum guidelines and do not start different threads on the same topic!

  Update: BIOS 3.4 have also solved the bug of Linux

• Satellite U200-115: Vista found new device - PCMCIA MTD-002

  Booted up my laptop and get a Vista found new hardware screen, search drivers for a device of "PCMCIA MTD-002". Have no idea what it is... but I am sure that I did not use the PCMCIA location, since I got the computer. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Satellite U200 is known to me, but I didn t try to install Vista on this laptop. Have you installed drivers all listed on the download page of Toshiba for Vista?

• Satellite U200 163: a bug in the bios with linux

  on my u200 163 (with the new bios 1.3 works well on XP), linux (2.6.17) as Mandrvia 2007 or Ubuntu Edgy new distributions does not start ok. After grub starts, two lines talking about the bios bug and memory address not E820 reserved and not using MMC...?
  Y at - it a bug in the bios? Can I change something in my bios?
  These linux distributions work very well on other PC...

  Thank you!

  Hi ft

  Unfortunately I have no explanation for what is happening exactly to your device, but don t forget that your device is not supported under Linux and also designed for Windows XP.

  Satellite U200 is more recent and it is possible that in a month next someone will do some Linux experience on this unit and reported it here.

  Good bye

• Change the Wifi card in the Satellite U200 163

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the wifi card internal of my computer toshiba laptop u200-163, I can change the hard disk?

  Thank you.

  If you use the compatible WiFi card I see no problem, but in my opinion, there is no reason for this. I guess your laptop comes with WLAN card 802.11a/b/g and using the g standard data transfer is fast enough and you avoid any problems if you use your laptop for work.

• Satellite U200-128 & Vista: FN & keys do not work

  I upgraded my laptop to XP operating system to Vista.
  But after that I changed my OS, some functions don't work anymore, I.e. multimedia keys (which is located just above the keyboard, right next to the power button) and the FN keys (dimmer backlight screen, wifi key, etc.).

  Can someone help me with this?
  I have already downloaded software Toshiba U200 for Vista to predict, and yet I can't seem to fix it as I once did with an XP operating system.

  Hello

  You must install the Package Toshiba Vista value added for the control of Toshiba functionality of the buttons.
  Also, the FN buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
  The fact is that Vista FlashCards control keys FN and the FlashCards are a part of the VAP.

  I also recommend install button holder because it allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings

  Good bye

• Satellite U200 163 and Linux - sound disappeared

  Hi all

  I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my u200, it worked very well with the live CD with almost any linux, but the sound no longer works after a while
  I think the problem is with the bios or could be fixed with windows settings
  Unfortunately, I deleted windows so now I have to find another solution
  I am sure that this is not a software problem, but more tied to the bios or strange sound equipment.

  Thanks in advance
  Stone

  Hi pierrot2027,

  of course, it is the bios... It is evolving without interaction...
  I'm kidding!

  which leads to believe that the bios is defective when:
  -its has been authorized for a period of time
  -you do not change anything inside the bios or hardware

  try to modprobe a new soundmodule, perhaps some stock loading a bad module...
  or reinstall the system...

  BTW: windows is an operating system like linux - if it's a hardware failure, you are not able to fix in any os at all.

• Satellite U200-196: Vista drivers are available!

  Mulholla! Tonight, I can start :) Toshiba finally done with Vista on the European Site drivers!

  Wow, this is great information. Finally, the U200 users can install the Vista drivers.
  I noticed that the A100 Vista drivers have been released several days ago.
  It seems that the pilot edition progress :D

• Satellite P105 - stuttering Vista problems

  I have a laptop P105 with the GeForce GO 7900GS and I've updated the BIOS for the new 4.70 and I still have the problem of stuttering under Vista (games and 3d applications to stop a moment every 2 or 3 seconds).

  I m tired of this problem and I can't believe Toshiba have still not solved! I have this laptop for 2 years now and always with this problem...

  I use Windows XP for good performance and I m thinking that Toshiba really doesn t have a solution for that.

  Toshiba guys if you're not going to give us a real solution to this problem at least unlock the video card BIOS or release one with the GTX frequencies to win a few fps in games under XP... Most of the people with P105 doesn't guarantee more so if we screw up the laptop doesn't matter more!
  I tried all the drivers and all that a man can do in trying to find a solution to it, but nothing... And there are MANY people with the same problem, I mean 90% of P105 owners have the same problem...

  Bye and sorry for my English: P!

  Hello

  I think that this has been solved already!
  See this Toshiba document:

  + New video driver and BIOS eliminates video "stutter" during the game (Windows Vista) +.
  http://askiris.Toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 83448307 & stateId = 95 10834501

  It s clearly mentioned that BIOS version 4.20 and nVidia display driver to version 7.15.11.5666 or newer should solve this problem!

• Satellite U200 163: BIOS download 3.40-> XP-Linux BIOS bug resolved

  I was told there was no bug with 3.30, but these are the changes (extract from Toshiba U.S. web site):

  * Added CPU support: optimized the thermostat during low temperature operations.
  * This BIOS supports the Windows XP and Vista.

  It was not the case before?

  Found on the Toshiba site we (that, I tell you once again, gives more information on changes in bios):

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soID=419258&MOID=1277449&BV_Sess ionID=@@@1274207095.1171787409@@@&BV_EngineID=cc ciaddkejmhedecgfkceghdgngdgmm.0 & ct = SB

  3.30 bug maybe wasn't lack of Linux? ;-)

• Satellite A100-163: audio problem after installing Win XP - SOLUTION

  Hello

  I reinstalled Windows XP on this laptop Toshiba A100-163 and had a little trouble, but the hardest thing was the audio, so I thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else is trying to do!

  The drivers supplied by the Toshiba support site did not work. After a bit of research, it seems that the audio drivers are supposed to be integrated into Windows: "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio". But I don't it would work.

  The solution was to install XP Service Pack 3!
  I didn't not use Windows update, but instead downloaded and installed the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers. Then, after a restart, the Hardware Wizard found is come and properly installed audio drivers.

  Hope this helps someone!

  Great! Thanks for sharing this with us!

• Satellite U200 163: where can I find the RAM slots?

  Where can I find the RAM slots?

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no RAM Bay at the bottom of the unit and it is so just only one possible place to the RAM slots
  Slots seem to be hidden under the keyboard.

  In order to get access to the RAM, you will need to remove the keyboard.
  Usually, it is not very difficult but if you have no experience with this dismantling then you should ask a technician for assistance.

  But here's a few details;
  Keyboard is fixed with 2 screws. They are hidden under the cover of thin plastic under the line of F1 to F12 key.
  Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, then you could remove the keyboard take note; the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with the flat cable.

  So don't use force!

• Flashcard crashes from time to time under Vista with a Satellite U200

• Satellite U200 - 10K will beep continuously

  Hallo,

  When I run the satellite U200 - 10K (Vista), from the start, it gives me continuous beep... beepppppp... I can work... I can open applications, but the beep is not going offf. What could be a reason possible to this problem, hardware / software?
  I have not installed new software on this system?

  Aerts

  Hello

  These beeps are rare! Normally, the laptop would beep if the BIOS detects an error. But this beep should not appear constantly and the laptop will not start!

  I can't believe that this issue could be also related to software installed on the laptop.
  In my opinion, the laptop must be verified by a service provider authorized in your country.
  One question; have you tried to recover the laptop with the supplied restore CD?
  This procedure would fix the laptop back to the factory settings. If the tones will not stop, I think that there is something wrong with the hardware.

  But don t worry buddy! The guarantee must be valid and would cover everything!
