• Equium A200 (PSAE2) am I maxed out here on the memory?

  I was not here for a while especially because my Toshiba Satellite A200 (PSAE2) gave me a perfect working service. Now, I want to upgrade memory because she seems to be the right thing to do in the hungry world memory today. SO currently I have 2GB on board and I can see info on the site here I'm maxed out. I can not install more RAM!

  So how is. Is this a limitation of the BIOS or what? Why can I not install 3 or 4 GB... or can I?

  Thanks in advance for your help and your time

  Hello and welcome back ;)

  Can you please send the name of the exact model of your Toshiba laptop (A200-xxx)?

• Equium A200 (PSAE2) - WXP Pro and BIOS update

  My laptop model is in the title of the thread.

  If the motherboard has been replaced by the service has no why ask you to update the BIOS? Service can do for you.

  To be honest, this can happen on each laptop model, but please don't ask me why. Maybe just no luck.

• 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.

  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.

• Can I install XP on Equium A200?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A200-1v0 currently under Vista Home Premium, my question is...

  Can I install Windows XP Home Edition on the laptop?
  My only concern are drivers etc...

  Thank you

  Of course, you can install XP on this laptop.
  The laptop seems to belong to the series of PSAF5E. Right now the XP drivers are not available on the Toshiba Europe page, but I think that it s only a matter of time when the drivers will be available.
  You can also try to use a few singles of another series of Satellite Equium A200 XP drivers. Maybe it will be executed

  Have you tested the display to the external monitor?

  It might help to know if it s a graphics card or a matter of FL-inverter DC-AC/display.

• 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+

  + The other necessary drivers that we found on the web were: +.

  + On the screen "Task Selection", select "Drivers" and "Bootable ISO". Press "next". +
  + Select "Insert" and then "Folder pilot several" and now go and find your downloaded files of the SATA driver. Now, select 'All' and ' OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Select only the two that mention "ICH8M. Now press "next". The display will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' and then 'Yes' to the prompt and then on "next" when done.

  + Now, click on the "Burn" button Now follow the remaining instructions to complete. +
  + You have now created an XP installation disc that contains your SATA drivers. +
  + - As you can tell, it of sound altogether, but avoids having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution. +

  + Hasta La Vista! +
  + Now you are ready to start the cleaning process, if you are brave enough to continue... +.

  + First, re-boot your laptop and the all start-up press F12 to change the boot order so that the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM is first. You can also use F2 and then change the Boot order from there. +

  + Now, insert your new XP installation disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, select boot from CD when you are prompted. +

  + The XP CD will now start copying the files and possibly display an options screen.
  + Select this option to install Windows. +
  + And then remove the hard drive C: partition (with Vista on) +.
  + Delete the partition used by Vista also F. +.
  + You will have to follow a lot of warning messages to delete the partitions. +
  + Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive. +.
  + Now install XP by following the instructions. +

  + Don't worry that the graphics are a bit large as once Windows has finished installing, you can run the graphics driver you copied on the the XP CD to correct this. +

  * 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!
