Power on second hand Satellite A200-1d(a) problem

• Need help with my laptop second hand Satellite

  I have a unusual problem; I recently bought a second hand laptop that I knew wasn't working as I thought I could fix it. However, I discovered that all the decals identify which model I have are deleted. I know it's a Toshiba Satellite. The keyboard has a key missing "m", which I think is actually damaged as the laptop is a continuous beep on startup until the keyboard cable is removed.

  Also, the screen remains white brilliant at startup. I read it can be caused by loose or damaged cables or a contrast problem, but as I can't use the keyboard I can't really do much.
  When the system is running, I can see the rotation of the fan, I can hear the HDD works, but due to problems with screen/keyboard, I don't know if it s actually passing the start screen or not.

  So my questions are:
  (1) how the hell can I identify this machine when I can't start
  (2) can I use a USB keyboard to the diagnosis until I have the operation of the system?
  (3) should what tests I do to try to resolve the problem of the screen?

  I realize I should have ask the seller for info, but I doubt that the guy had a clue anyway.

  Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you.

  You've done well think. Before you spend your time trying to find the solution it back and I hope you find better second hand laptop in better condition.

• Second hand Satellite 4000cdt starts no - one flashing

  Hello

  I got a free 4000 cdt satellite of my friend, but it didn't work.
  I looked on ebay and bought a charger and battery two alltogether costing at £30, but it still won't turn or flash all lights when the adapter is pluged out and when it's pluged is split-second flashes on the on button and amber light battery and blinks on the power ligh.

  So what is the problem

  Hello

  I assume that a friend has distributed this laptop because it works bad!
  You said the power on the flashing of the LED. This doesn't sound good.

  It seems a hardware error was detected on the Council and the laptop provides a blink code.
  Short blinking means 0 and flashing long, 1.

  This code can be read by a portable computer technician if you want you can contact the ASP in your country for a detailed audit.
  In any case, in most cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced, and this part is not cheap.

  It of your choice.

• Satellite A200 - recovery disk problems

  I just bought the (all new store big tech) Satellite A200 for a few months and not used because I was on business trip to take. This weekend, I opened it up and running for a while.

  After that I read the manual and found that I need to create a recovery from the tools provided disk. However, the problem start here:

  1. when I click on "Recovery Disc Creator", a message is display "no HDD Recovery area!, the toshiba Recovery Disc creator cannot be launched."

  2 then I call center service support and to inform that there is a problem with the "recovery disk creator" and I have to retrieve the laptop using the hard drive partition recovery (waiting when 0 turning on the system) and the next step is complete:
  a. the laptop's boot in the recovery screen function.
  b. when I try to "restore windows PC" (option 3), it is display and error message on file not found.
  c. when I try to click on "restoring the recovery disk" (option 5), it asks me to put in the recovery disk which I do not have?

  NOTE: I'm sure that the hidden recovery partition is therre. 1.46 GB. There is no way that I can access the hidden partition from a normal windows vista screen (without drive letter).

  Then, I called the support center again (now what difference person support) and to inform you that:

  1. my recovery partition is corrupted and I need to get the recovery disk again (which I did not), it's going to cost me AUD $66 (I got from HP one and cost me AUD $15 and will be free if I come and Pick-up) for administrative costs. And it is a procedure.

  2. I explain to the support staff that it is brand new in the box laptop and I consider it as defective on arrival (DOA or FOA.

  3. I also ask what causes the problem and has been a consultant with the following reason:
  a. I may have deleted the partition accident (impossible because I still can start on the recovery partition, but can not recovery which all).
  b. There may be a virus infect in my laptop which was remove my recovery file in the hidden partition (ridiculous, you can delete some files in the drive on which you cannot yet access).
  c. I should create a recovery disc when the first time LAPTOP computer service. Which it is recommended, I get a question that if I do not, or I forgot to do so, this means that the software will automatically delete the system restore image file? I have no answer for that.

  State (when I try to post this messgae), I'm still waiting for the staffs of complaint call fomr back (very tie when you talk in support of service these days).

  NOTE 2: I would like to raise these issues, not because I want something (I do both IT support) complaints but I just want to solve the problem:

  1. is there some sort (software) allow me to access the hidden drive in and out of recovery disc image, my laptop still have the partition.

  2. is there a link I can download image recovery (in iso format) disc again? I've known it is not a question of wise, but when I ask the support staff that can re - install windows vista with the license key from the bottom of the laptop and has advised that it is not work or turn on.

  3. is there someone out there has similar problem

  Hi Thomas

  I have a European model A200 (don t know what you model is) and the A200 was NOT equipped with the option of HARD drive recovery! This means that you cannot create your own recovery disk!
  My laptop came with the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs!

  Still is it that your 1.46 GB hidden partition is not the Toshiba recovery partition but Vista hidden partition. It contains the WinRE files that are useful for repairing the operating system if something will go wrong!

  Second, the Toshiba Recovery folder is too big for the partition of 1.46 GB!
  So it is not possible that it would be placed on this s partition!

  So finally, it seems that you will not be able to create the own recovery disk and therefore, you have to order it from the ASP in your country.

• Satellite A200 and Win7 - problem loading the graphics driver

  Hi guys I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A).
  I installed windows 7 just now, now half the time when I start the computer it displays a message on windows encounters a problem loading the graphics drivers and the resolution is terrible. When I restart immediately, most of the time, it loads fine - no message and a good resolution. I tried many driver reinstall but it is always the case.
  Someone knows what's the problem? Is this with windows 7, or do you think the graphics card can be on the road to extinction?

  Thanks for your help, a lot.
  -Chris

  Hello

  It was ok before installing windows 7? I don't think it's a hardware problem. Have you installed the driver for the Toshiba driver page?

• Satellite A200-12V driver problem

  I bought a Satellite A200-12V during the Christmas sales and decided to downgrade the OS from Vista to XP SP2.
  I went during the major part of the allocation of this forum and installed XP on the machine. (after wake the mobile ICH8 driver and the bus driver from realtek on xp drive).
  I also install the driver for the graphics chip, the driver LAN and wireless trouble-free device driver at all. (Also Windows update as well).

  The only problem I am facing is whenever I try to install the chipset driver or other drivers as mass storage device drivers (I think that's going to be the TI card reader driver), touchpad, key software are supported on Fn and the Chicony Camera Assistant Software from the Toshiba driver, I always had a blue screen of death just after the restart. Even if I had a created restore point before the installation of the driver, the machine jumps to the blue screen just after the restoration of the system.

  I have flashed the BIOS to the version for XP... and I have no idea on what to do next if it executes correctly.

  I hope that someone in this forum can make me light in solving this mystery. It's a real pain after you have reinstalled XP on the same HDD during more than 20 times of testing and errors. ; p

  Hello

  For me there is no sense to install any driver if you have had no success with chipset installation. Driver chipset is the basis for other stuff for me. I installed Windows XP SP2 Pro family edition several times on different A200 and P200 successfully. The BIOS is the version of Windows XP Home edition and it is very good. Please use the Windows XP SP2 home edition installation. After the fresh install of WXP follow the instructions facilities document (if available) and please follow this order of the facilities. It is very important.

  Moreover, the number of PAxxxx who has your laptop?

• Flashcards and Fn - Satellite A200 psae6e key problem

  Hi all.

  I read a lot of posts with this problem.
  I noticed some people fix with value Canadian extra package, but is not a Canadian package extra for my model.
  I have a200-psae6e. But I download Canadian version, it is not for my model, I installed it but it does not work. Flashing cards do not appear.

  Then I installed the extra package for my model and it works fine, but does not work Fn + Fx! I have
  the value cards turn signals don't start up with Windows and now I can use Fn + Fx but only for keys ESC, F1, F3, F6, F7 and F11, other do not work!

  Can someone tell me how to force the other keys work?
  I didn't need flashing cards if I have good, that also I don't have turn signals with Fn + Fx cards keys don't work all the keys.

  Is there a solution?

  Same problem with my computer, but even worse because when I push button FN of my computer crashes. Nobody seems to know the solution. If you can, uninstall all versions of VAP, you have and try to reinstall one with advanced options, common Module is checked and pray. I think that some components of vista update is related to the normal working FN.

• Satellite A200 - sensitivity Touchpad problem

  Hello.

  All of a sudden my touchpad has developed a mind of your own.
  If I go on something for a few seconds, it's as if I clicked it.

  It's really annoying because I was removing things that I don't want delete, selection of programs I want to choose etc.etc.

  I have looked at the Synaptics settings & can't find anything that can solve the problem, although I am totally thick when it comes to something like this.
  If anyone can offer a solution that, I understand I will be really, really grateful.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  All you can do is to check all these settings, in particular to change the sensitivity level in the hope that this behavior will stop.
  Otherwise I do not see other was about visit Toshiba service.

  Is solution of using external mouse for you? I mean you can completely disable touchpad with FN + F9 and use an external mouse.

• Satellite A200-1VP - Wireless problem

  Hello

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.
  Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless card.
  2 GB of ram.
  Intel core 2 duo t5250 - 1.5 ghz
  160 GB

  Recently, the wireless on my laptop has stopped working, I think that this is due to the switch wlan on the bottom of the laptop. Before it used to work perfectly. But a few days ago I started the laptop and the wireless did not work. I took a glance on the switch and it seemed to be extinguished (no orange), even if it was to position it. It was weird. It does not pick up wireless networks, but there are loads because I checked on my brothers laptop computer.

  That's what I tried.
  first thing I did was to switch to stop, then press it. No chance!
  Then I left in the off position and restart the laptop. Then he walks. No chance! still no light.
  Then I checked the Device Manager, everything seemed fine. He says that the wireless card worked properly.

  Another thing to note is that the device has not been disabled, I tried fn + f8, but has not made a difference.

  It's the 1 year warranty ended last month.

  Any help on that would be great.

  Good news buddy. ;)

  If I understand your issue with it stopped working after the shock... I guess disattached cable lcd and to resolve this you must disassemble the round to be tied. Note, I amn't make sure that the cable of the LCD is a troublemaker
