  Hello

  When you purchased your portable Satellite didn t you get a remote control? If this isn't the case, then the unit is not ready to use the remote control. You can also refer to the manuals of s.

  AFAIK all units with remote installed a small application called controls. Check in Control Panel if you can find something like that.

  Hello!
  I am owner of a Toshiba Satellite 5100 201. The five keys 9-O - L-.-led on the keyboard do not work. Is it a software or a defect of the keyboard control problem or a problem of contact on the map? Does anyone have experience with this problem? Can it be a BIOS problem? I have Bios 1.90.
  Can someone help me?

  Best regards
  Ulrich

  You must remove and clean and check the connector of the keyboard.
  If this help not the keyboard probably is defective and must be replaced.

• Differences between Satellite 5100-201 & 5100 603

  Hello

  The user guide is not clarify the differences between the models S5100-201 and S5100-603.
  I can work on them are different speeds, memory and hard drive, but what about the internal bits?

  I have a model 603 broke with a power control fault. Does anyone know if a model-201 motherboard will enter unity of 603?

  Thank you
  Pete

  Hello

  I am not a technician, but I found the info that these units have a different graphics card and the two can't handle with RAM max.

  Satellite 5100-201:
  -nVidia GeForce4 440Go 32 MB
  -can handle with max 512 MB RAM

  Satellite 5100 603:
  -nVidia GeForce4 440Go 64 MB
  -can handle with max 1024 MB of RAM

  I'm not 100% sure, but if you swap the Mo together with all hardware, I think that other devices should work, but I put t know how it will work with the BIOS. Maybe the DMI should be rewritten.

  There are little guys having very good knowledge on this forum, and I hope that some of them will be post here and say more about it.

• Satellite 5100-201-size Limitation of HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 5100-201 P4 - M 1.6 Ghz with 30 GB IDE HDD and 1024 MB of RAM. I use my 'old' Satellite only for music (the largest sound found on laptops!) but my HARD drive got a little weak.

  So my question is if there is no limit on the size of HARD drive for this laptop. I would buy an IDE 120 GB or 160 GB HDD at 5400 RPM and 8 MB Cache. If this is not possible, I can also take the 80 GB of HDD (another puts it on say works), but liked better!

  Thanks for your help!

  Greetings,
  Fab

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that the maximum capacity of the HARD drive would be 120 GB because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that only the hard disks up to 128 GB usable 120 GB would be the maximum. 5400 RPM and 8 MB cache are ok.

  By the way: it of Nice to read that you are always so pleased with old Satellite 5200 :)

• Replacement of motherboard on the Satellite 5100-603 - BIOS update is required?

  Hello
  I just replaced a dead card main satellite 5100 603 with a new main Board which I could get on ebay (Toshiba card system FNZSY2 - A5A000160010 P000341750-Ref.). If I boot with an installation of XP DVD it starts but hangs with the message "unexpected error (536674392) on line 1768 in D:\xpspi\base\boot\set-up\arcdisp.c".

  I realized that there are versions of different bios for various models 5100 satellite. I think I flashed the bios of 5100-603 last for this problem.
  Is this correct? (start with BART-PE from CD or HDD BART-PE raises the same error msg text in another look)

  Hello

  to get your motherboard to work you must write about the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier).
  As far as I know, you can get the UUID to a Toshiba service partner writing tool.

• Satellite 5100/201: problem with the video card or overheating?

  HY,

  I have problems with video on a 5100/201 Satellite. It seems that when I press the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on this side, the screen begins to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. To end Windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video goes to 640 x 480. Same thing happens when you run Linux Suse 9.0.

  My question is what is the cause: map graphic damaged or overheating due to the fan not as effective as originally (my laptop is nearly two years old. Do you have someone be able to find the cause and solved the problem, also with the assistance of Toshiba?
  Any help welcome.

  Hello

  I think the problem on your laptop depends on the fan.

  A colleague on mine has a 5100-603 and had similar problems.

  The Station changed the fan.

• Satellite 5100-201: overheating after several times

  I have a 5100-201 Satellite.
  Recently, a screen problem surfaced: first described images are blurred, then scratches appear, usually the screen collapses provisional modus. I noticed that the laptop gets really hot, and I thought it must be a problem of overheating.

  I cleaned empty the notebook, I even opened and checked that the fan rotates properly. Subsequently, the laptop worked once, the fan run constantly and the laptop does not get heated.

  The next day, the redone problem surface again and this time I had still a black screen. Now, the laptop starts normally when I turn it on, but I know that after a while it will heat again.

  Ah, I also updated the driver for the graphics card, but it did not help. Does anyone have a suggestion?

  Thank you

  To protect against overheating of the CPU has to a n internal temperature sensor. If the temperature of computer s reaches a certain level, the cooling fan is turned on or processing speed is lowered. Use the cooling method of the base configuration item in the Toshiba power saver.

  In addition, it is very important that you use Notepad in the right position. The area near the gates of cooling module must be free because the fan needs to catch his breath.
  It is important for the circulation of fresh air.

• Is it possible to update the BIOS for the Satellite A110 (PSAB0) and Windows7?

  Hi all

  I recently installed Windows 7 on Toshiba Satellite A110 (PSAB0).
  The version of the system BIOS is v1.30
  I want to Flash the BIOS for you last version v2.0.
  This version is released in January 2009, before the introduction of Windows 7.

  There are two versions of the BIOS download, one "for Vista only' and one 'OS independent.
  I think I have to go to the operating system independent.
  Link: [update BIOS | http://www.toshiba.nl/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EN&selCategory = 8 & selFamily = 192 & selSeries = 236 & selProduct = 661 & STAS hortMod = 478 & language = 1 = 12 & selOS & selType = 4 & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & we eDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 24 & selectedLanguage = 12 & type = 4 & page = 1 & ID = 66230 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42]

  Independent of the OS has warning: + "this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!" + "

  So here's my question: this BIOS version is compatible with Windows 7?

  Thank you very much!!

  AJ.

  Hello

  I think that this BIOS (v2.0) is not released for Windows 7 and that it has also not been tested with Windows 7. This BIOS has published 21.01.2009 and Windows 7 was released on July 22, 2009. However, on the other hand it s not mentioned that this BIOS is not compatible with Win 7.

  But the fact is that only Windows 7 doesn't is NOT supported on this laptop.

  Windows 7 drivers are not out on Sat A110, but this does not mean that you couldn't install Win 7 on this device. Of course, you can install the Win 7 system, but Toshiba does not provide any Win 7 software for this series.

  Back to BIOS update:
  In your case I would try not to update the BIOS if the laptop works properly.
  Why? Because the update of the BIOS is still a technique sensitive and you could damage it the motherboard if something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS.

• Corruption of the BIOS to the Satellite M40

  Hi all.

  I have an old laptop Toshiba Satellite M40 with damaged BIOS which of course does not start. TI powers drop down 3 sec after power, which means that it does not pass the test STATION. I understand various forum that it is not the competence of technicians ASP and I'm not ready to hear things like 'replace maother Board' of these guys.

  I heard talk about techniques that can reflash the BIOS in the CMOS memory using a floppy drive loaded with a version of BIOS.

  The computer is in pretty good condition, including a new 80 Gb HD and was working fine until I tried to update the BIOS. I think it should be fix and spend a few hours on it.

  Any ideas on the issue were greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you are ready to hear just a positive thing or what. Are you here to have the real discussion or you want to hear a fairy tale. You wrote in your ad that the BIOS is damaged. I guess that you know very well what should be done with pieces of damaged equipment.

  How you want to reflash the BIOS if your laptop is running in only 3 seconds. Please be serious.

• How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

  How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

  AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
  You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
  The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

  But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country

• Corrupt BIOS on the Satellite X 200

  I think I've damaged the BIOS on my Satellite X 200, when I tried to update the version of the BIOS using the software on Toshiba support page at
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=UK
  Satellite X 200 2.50 - WIN32 Toshiba

  It seems to have applied the update; no error when running this utility. BUT my X 200 primer is more.
  I suspect that the BIOS has been corrupted!
  My X 200 is two and a half years, so more under warranty.

  What are my options?
  The BIOS chip can be replaced? If so, how Toshiba likely to be practiced for this Service?

  Would like to see that all the tips.

  Hello Tony

  In my view there is not much you can do about it. The BIOS chip is damaged and only authorized Toshiba service can help you.
  Try to contact the closest service and explain the situation.

• Activation TV changes affect the Satellite A100-201 display resolution

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with graphics card intel 945 GM and whenever I have activate tv out (clone) the resolution on the laptop lcd is reduced. A box appears saying "If I do not answer within 15 seconds, then the setting will return", but it's not - the setting is applied without worrying.

  Change the setting back manually to the simple screen does not restore the previous screen resolution, I have to restore the system.

  Any ideas what's happening?

  I think that it s not a hardware problem, but only a bad setting in the properties of the graphics card.
  The properties of the graphics card and access the advanced option. On the general tab, you will find options for compatibility:
  You should choose the option: apply the new display settings without restarting

  In my opinion it should solve you problem ;)
