Portege A100: How Flash keyboard/controller?

Hello

I have a Toshiba Portege A100 (PPA10E-0002N-FR) with a master keyboard frazled.

Guess it should be possible to re - flash, but doubt that someone would worth.

Someone knows how to either make flashed or get a replacement system card?

Thanks for any help that anyone can give.

Hello Nutter

Replacement of the system board is not simply to do without maintenance manuals. The disassembly procedure must be done in the right order. You probably know that this small error can damage something.

Portege A100 is very nice and in my opinion, it would be wrong to destroy something. I recommend you contact technicians.

  • Can I connect an external keyboard for Portege A100?

    Portege A100 laptop can be used with an external USB keyboard? If so, is it important that the brand that I use? I finally convinced my wife to learn typing, but the keyboard of the laptop is not the easiest keyboards to learn.

    Hello

    Of course, it is possible. It s no matter what brand you use, but the connection is important.
    It must be an external USB keyboard because the A100 protégé supports only this interface for the connection of the keyboard

  • Strange keyboard problem - Portege A100

    I have a Portege A100 some three years now.
    There is a problem with the keyboard, only the keys 5tgb - a diagonal line.
    As soon as the PC is often placed on these keys don't work at all. After a while, if I press hard, especially if I turn on caps lock shift, the key to start work and then more or less work. Sometimes turning the PC and trie still the problem using shift often makes it worse. Sometimes the keys work, but only with a delay. No other keys are affected.
    I am confused as to if it's a hardware problem (are these keys connected even if a single connector?) or a strange software problem, perhaps related to the traditional Chinese microsoft input method editor that I recently downloaded.

    Any help or advice would be welcome.

    Alan Watson

    Hello

    The keys are connected on the map as the rest of the keyboard keys.
    There are not connected separately. To me, it looks like a hardware would be malfunctions.
    Why? Well, it's not easy to say. Sometimes loses keyboard cable affects the use of the keyboard. But maybe the entire keyboard needs to be replaced.

    We must consider this possibility I think you should contact the ASP in your country. If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

  • Portege A100 - need new driver for graphics card to play games

    I own a Portege A100 and I need to update the graphics controller to play games.

    My problem is I went to the Download Center and the latest driver is currently installed in my notebook.
    I got this game running before but had my cell reprogrammed and don't remember how to operate.

    Help, please!

    Hmmmm... to be honest Portege is not portable for the games. Maybe for playing chess, but for some graphics intensive games is certainly bad laptop.

    Anyway, the question is what you want to do.
    Do you want to play some games or simply to grow old (already working) game to run again? Or maybe the two options?

  • Control external synth MIDI via USB keyboard controller

    Friends,

    I'm trying to get a Novation Launchkey 25 to work as an external controller for mother-32 MOOG synthesizer.

    Software - Logic Pro 9

    USB - LaunchKey 25 Novation keyboard controller

    Interface - Focusrite Scarlett 18I6

    MacBook pro with current operating system

    Currently I have the out of the Focusrite and towards the MOOG MIDI cable. The Launchkey is connected via USB on my Mac. Logic can see the keyboard and interface, but not the MOOG. I just want to control the MOOG mother 32 with the keys. I am at a loss on how to implement the logic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Steve

    1 MIDI OUT of the Focusrite at noon on the MOOG.

    2. create an external MIDI track with the release (in the Inspector) on the MIDI OUTPUT Focusrite. Also assign the desired MIDI (or ALL) channel. Better, the use of the channel the MOOG is set up to receive on.

    3 connect the headphones to the MOOG, to see if it is audio output. To get the audio MOOG through logic, you should run the audio Moog in the Scarlett outputs, create an Audio track, the value of channel inputs inputs use the MOOG, the value Preferences / Audio monitoring software allowed to logic. Allow recording the audio track. You can select two tracks (Audio and MIDI external) using shift/select, if necessary. Audio will come from Scarlett.

    It is another way to analyze using a plugin, get that first day.

  • Portege A100 - problems recognizing a new DVD burner

    Hello

    I'm looking to replace the Panasonic/Matsu * player UJDA750 combo with a LiteOn SOSW - 852S DVD burner. The LiteOn is CSEL and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I tried to change the master/slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW - 852 S .exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees all configurations), but the Portege A100 still does not recognize LiteOn.

    I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD and the Matsu * a Combo drive in Portege reports as secondary master. So, I tried flashing the drive LiteOn (using the Acer Travelmate platform) with MTKFlash version 183 c using the a command? "mtkflash 3 w/b PRS9.bin" (using the original firmware of saved), '3' to change the drive to the secondary master. I came across problems here - the flash appears to hang. The drive is always ok, however. I flashed it back to the original ok CSEL using E2MS program in Acer.

    I have not tried bridging the pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I thought maybe it was a last resort.
    -Can help you with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There are a bunch of different ones - primary, secondary, tertiary, Quarternary master/slave and CSEL and Inverse CSEL. Portege A100 'sees' the Matsu * a CDROM model CR-176_B of Acer.

    Or - can you recommend me a DVD burner for this laptop?

    Hello

    The evolution of the master/slave/c-salt settings is not recommended and tell the truth I put t know if its possible. I presume that it of not possible to Flash these settings on medium power.
    In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to do.
    This procedure may damage the drive. Maybe you will not be able to use this drive more and more you will void the warranty!

    I think it s better to buy a compatible device and supported as trying to drive not compatible flash.

    Did you check your user manual? Usually the user manual should provide information on compatible CD/DVD players and supported.

    Good bye

  • The maximum size of the HDD in Portege A100

    My hard drive 40 Gb in my Portege A100 age of 3 years. just died. I was wondering how big a hard drive to buy while it will be recognized by the BIOS?

    Someone in the internet used a 60 GB HARD drive in the Portege A100 and it worked.
    Maybe a 80 GB is possible, but there is no statement official on the size of HDD supported and compatible.

    The best way is to test different sizes with a distributor of HARD drive.
    Thanks for posting a comment after the HARD drive test

  • Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze

    My Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze without valid reason.

    It has also hurt to turn sometimes blue light appears on the disc hard turns, but not much happening and the screen remains empty.
    Sometimes he'll get into windows and I want to use it then suddenly stop responding completely.
    It does this in SafeMode as well ad from a cold start.

    The strange thing is that it seems to be triggered physically sometimes but I couldn't swear to it and maybe it's just a coincidence.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    Description seems you very strange because the question what you described happens sometimes. Eventually it s only a software malfunction?
    How the operating system is running on the laptop?

    What do you think of the resettlement using the recovery CD?
    This relocation and new OS can sometimes solve problems of frizzing.

    But if the portable feed then you should try another suggestion.
    You must remove the power supply and adapter of the laptop. Then wait several times (10-15 min). Put the power supply in the laptop and connect the power adapter.

    Then, launch Notepad.

  • Portege A100: Change the new HARD disk in slave mode?

    Hello, I have a portege a100 laptop, I want to buy a Dvd for my laptop burner and one in mind, even if I need to put my hard drive in slave mode first, that the dvd drive is set as master.
    My hard drive model is MK1032GAX, could someone tell me that it is possible to do so, before buying the dvd burner to 100%.

    Hello

    To my knowledge it s is not possible. The technology of the laptop is different, and you can't compare it with the desktop PC.
    As far as I know, the settings are fixed and you cannot change it. I think that the HARD disk controller is set master and you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player.
    Player settings are different and the Toshiba service partner can give you more details about compatible CD/DVD players.

  • Upgrade for Portege A100 wireless LAN driver

    Is my wireless Atheros AR 5001 X +. I received notification of upgrade of Toshiba for Intel Pro Wireless XXXX.

    Can someone help how to identify which Intel driver should I use for my system (Portege A100 with XP Pro)?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Max

    I wonder why you want to update the Intel WLan card driver.
    According to your first post you use card Atheros AR 5001 X + WLan and not Intel WLan card. Please don t mix Intel cards with Atheros cards.

    PS: If you want to check the version of your Wlan card driver you must go to the Device Manager.
    There, you have to select the WLan card and access the properties (right click).

  • found the new keyboard controller pci hardware

    I had a massage n my office says "found new hardware n asked for a disk to install a driver but do not have." Anyone know what her soul?

    found the new keyboard controller pci hardware

    Simply cancel in the message and we will fix the problem manually.  You say that it is a PC keyboard controller.  Did you just install oee or install a new keyboard or hardware or driver changes at all on your system?

    You can get in trouble with your device (specifidallly the keyboard or keyboard controller) drivers.  Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  Look especially devices associated with the keyboard.  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you should for the keyboard and the keyboard/controller and like many others that you have time to do - they are making contributions beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    This should solve the problem.  If it is not or you do not find drivers for the position of keyboard controller to return with more information about the keyboard controller that you can find.  The keyboard works fine without this "new material"?  Tell me what you see in Device Manager on the keyboards or keyboards/controllers. Go to the Actions and click Scan for New Hardware and tell me EVERYTHING he says he says he detected new hardware.  Keep clicking and copy everything it says until you get to the point where he asks a disc install a driver (before you get to that point it will ask probably if you want to search for a driver - Windows answer Yes and see if it works (it probably won't, but it's worth a shot).)  Either you added something, or something that was already there became active or something that was already installed got corrupted and lost its driver and therefore act as if it was a new piece of hardware.  In all cases we need to IDENTIFY this material so that we can drivers for it (or you will continue to see this message every time you start).

    If you are unsure that you have installed anything new, then I suggest that you only contact technique the customer computer manufactuerer by phone or chat online help to identify the material and the location of device drivers to it.

    I hope this helps.

    Good Lluck!

  • Portege A100 (PPA10A) - where to get spare parts?

    Hi all

    I have a Portege A100 PPA10A, he is old enough and the cable from the Touchpad to the motherboard is broken. N that anyone know the part number for this cable or knows where I can get the part number?

    I sent an email to a place called "spare = parts Warehouse", but they had trouble finding the part

    But if anyone knows for sure, that would be great.

    Kind regards

    Widget

    Message was edited: link has been removed

    Hi Widget,

    To be honest, I doubt anyone here can tell you the part number of this cable. It s only a user to user forum where you can talk with normal people like you and me.

    In my opinion, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them:
    www.MyToshiba.com.au > Support > find a Service Centre

    Good luck! :)

  • Portege A100 - where is the CMOS battery?

    Hello
    Can someone tell me where the CMOS battery is located in a Portege A100, please?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Why, you want to know where is the CMOS battery? You want to exchange it?

    I think this question can anybody answer here because it s only a user to user forum. Never saw here authorized technicians or anyone from Toshiba.

    Regarding your question, you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can answer any technical questions and also to exchange the battery for you. ;)

  • Portege A100 PPA10A - update the BIOS to boot from a USB device

    Hello

    I have an old Portege A100, model: PPA10A-0002LP, but I can't seem to find this model on any Web site of Toshiba, closest I've seen is the "PPA10A - 0002 L'.

    I am wanting to know if there is a BIOS update that will allow me to boot from a USB device.

    The question I have is that I need to reinstall Windows, but the CD ROm cannot read disks.
    This network PXE boot, but I'm new to this sort of thing and have absolutely no idea what to do here.

    Any help would be great,

    Thank you

    Hello

    Portege A100 seems to be developed solely for the Australian market.
    As you say it is a model number Portege A100 PPA10A - 0002L listed on the Australian page of Toshiba Portege A100 PPA10A-0002LP belongs to the same series which is PPA10A
    So in my opinion, the BIOS should work too.

    Anyway, I doubt that the BIOS update will add boot options.

    Usually the BIOS supports booting from CD/DVD drive, drive HARD, LAN and USB FDD.
    It should be possible to boot from a boot disk using a USB FDD drive.
    I doubt you'd be able to boot from USB WEIRD since this Portege A100 supports an internal CD/DVD drive.
