• Dolby Digital Audio output via HDMI on Satellite A200 cable?

  I don't see how to get a Dolby Digital signal on my laptop!

  I have a screen LCD HD 1080 p television. With the help of a cable HDMI from laptop to TV gives a beautiful image. I then use an optical link between TV and Surround amplifier... However the amp does not recognize the signal as a Dolby Digital signal.

  The record is not clear on issues of Audio. The Toshiba HD-DVD player shows Dolby Digital option and I guess that's out put down the HDMI cable? I hear through the TV speakers.

  Hints would be much appreciated.

  Concerning
  Paul

  Hello

  To be honest I didn t know that there is Satellite A200 laptops with HDMI output. Can you please tell me what A200 you have (A200-xxx)? Are you really sure have an A200?

  Back to your problem: as far as I know the Digital Dolby audio can be sent if the laptop has S/PDIF port. You must also use an optical cable and connect laptop to your amp directly.

  What you do now is send the signal to the TV only. I don't really know if you can browse the Dolby signal to the amp.

• Graphic problem on Satellite A200 (PSAE6E)

  There is a problem with my laptop:

  It is the Satellite A200 - 23d PSAE6E. I added 1 GB - DIMM DDR - II 667 MHz Hynix. Memtest86 says no error with memory after a night of continuous operation.
  About a week or two ago the problem started to appear.
  I play Lineage II Interlude (it is built on the Unreal engine). Problem may occur after 15 minutes of play, can only occur after 3 hours - no dependencies to intensively to play or time spent in the game.
  Screen to become as if I put its colors 16 color range and become like the interlaced NTSC video. No resolution and color changes help. Didn't help not leaving the game. If I restart laptop, everything is normal.
  No other game (including LA2-Gracia) or work or multimedia tasks doesn't follow this problem, only Interlude LA2 and UT game. Other 3D games work very well.

  The drivers are original from the recovery CD. Windows Vista HP with automatic updates is enabled.

  And: when I connect external screen keyboard 'falls' are statistically more frequent (10 minutes to 1 hour in game LA2 it uptime).

  What is this and how do I solve this problem?

  Please copy your answers to my e-mail address: foxsandy (at) mail.ru, thank very you much. Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Russia...

  I believe that no one here can say with certainty why this happen. We can only speculate why something like this.

  My opinion is that there is a problem in the relationship between the graphics card and extra RAM module. There may be a problem to address.
  In the end, you must perform some tests to see exactly what is happening. Try with another 1 GB of RAM from another manufacturer, such as Kingston.

• Problem with Satellite A200 BIOS update

  I recently installed the alert software from Toshiba - through it, I received an alert to install software to improve my Satellite A200 1GH.
  After installing this software I've probably updated the BIOS and now I could not the computer because he wants a password already from the bios.
  I do not managed any password before.
  Please help me solve the problem! Is there a possibility of losing information with this situation?

  Hello

  No you can not lose any information, but in your case I would check for a more RECENT for your system BIOS version because there are some discussions were that other users had the same problem.

  A user reported that a NEWER version has been released and the problem has been resolved, but you should check for it here:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Otherwise, it would be necessary to set the machine to an authorized service partner. If you need a link to find the one closest to your country:

• Problem of Satellite A200 - Synaptics Tuoch paved

  Hello

  I have developed a problem with the Snaptics touchpad on my Satellite A200. Despite the use of different versions of the driver (original, later from Synaptics) showed intermittent problems with the right button.

  Sometimes, the green light on the icon in the system tray is on permanently (as if she is continually pressed).

  Often when you connect, the touchpad seems "backwards" - type click = right click action.

  Would it be something physically wrong with the touchpad?

  TIA,

  Ross

  To be honest I didn t notice of similar questions of touchpad on any of my Satellite notebooks.
  Of course, from time to time my touchpad icon appears green because I put my fingers/hand accidentally on the touch area. But it's rare, and to be honest I don't think this could be the reason of your touchpad problem ;)

  I have a few questions;
  You are using an external USB mouse?
  You have no mouse driver installed?

  I ask because sometimes a 3rd party mouse driver may affect the functionality of the touchpad.

  Instead, we should think that this problem could be related to a hardware problem too.
  If it is a hardware problem then a technician must check the functionality of computer touchpad portable s and possibly should replace the defective part.

  Best regards

• 3 beeps on startup satellite A200

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200 E-530 (Core2duo T5300) began to my laptop went blank when turn on and it emits 3 beeps and a few beeps 2 times. I have check the Rams are quite good.

  I found that the cpu fan is not moving and turn it on and sometimes the fan will start to move slowly until some time the fan will spin until it goes to full speed and when I turn and turn the beep disappear and the laptop back to normal.

  But after a few days and never happens again anywhere.

  Some experts may give some ideas what is happening on my laptop, it is about 3 to 4 years of age.

  Thank you

• Problem of Satellite A200 - 28 p/battery charger

  Hello

  I had a power problem with my battery charger for a while sometimes it would charge when plugged in and others would not, so if I removed the charger to move the laptop it was a bet of 50 / 50 as to whether it would be instantly turn off or not.

  This was not too much a problem as the laptop is not moved too often, but I recently returned home to find my charger did not work at all and the cell phone was off.

  I managed to get hold of a replacement charger just to test it and I found that when it is plugged, flashing blue light which is usually strong watch the charger is plugged, and the times he has stayed solid and allowed me to boot up the laptop lasted almost a minute at best before shutting down completely not even enough time to get transfer important documents I have there.

  Is buying a new battery is going to fix this, or is the problem more likely to be something inside the laptop to be replaced?

  Hello

  I doubt that buy a new battery would solve your problem.
  Why?
  Because the laptop should also work correctly using only the AC adapter.
  So even if the battery is defective or dead, it should be possible to use the laptop connected to the network.

  The laptop has a number of other power resources, including a smart power battery clock real time and these resources are closely linked and one could affect apparent power problems.

  If the DC IN is blue, this means that the AC adapter is connected properly and the power supply correctly. If this is not the case, the adapter may be faulty or there is a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  So in this case, the power adapter must be tested if you are sure that the adapter is working properly, then there must be a problem with the motherboard to 100%.

• Graphic problem with Satellite A200 - 13 M

  Hi all
  I apologize for my English, I'm not a native English speaker.

  2 months ago my laptop wouldn't start.
  I call the Service after sale who tell me to send it in for repair.
  No problem: my laptop came back to me, and it worked fine.

  Now there is a * new * problem (graph): sometimes, and I don't now why, the screen is dirty.
  You can see traces white and white dots all over the screen, especially near the icons.
  It's a little more difficult to explain precisely in English.
  I tried to make a screen, but the bug appear on it; I'll try one tomorrow...

  To make them disappear, I just close the screen, making my laptop into hibernation, and when I open it upwards (immediately), everything is good.
  + Damned, having bug comes back! +

  Someone had this bug?

  _Edit: _
  They have changed the card mother + CPU + graphics card.

  You have described the issue is really strange
  I can t image it could be exactly but if that appears after your GPU and CPU has been changed so I recommend you to contact the ASP again and wonder what goes wrong.

  I put t know if you use a newer graphics driver and BIOS, but you should check if the problem persists even with the update of the BIOS and graphics driver.
  But if you see any improvements so a call of ASP is required

• Satellite A30: PXE - E61 media test check the cable failure

  When I try to install from disk backup it is hard disk not found, but in the bios the hard drive is located and can not boot from it.

  I tried with winxp pro disc to try not to get an OS on the laptop any partition to the OS but a blue screen with an error 0 x 00000050 CrashFree disk gives error 1170 if I remember correctly.

  I can't update the bios with new version because she needs windows, I can't stop the lan because there is no setting in the bios very minimul with about 4 useful settings in it.

  Is the hard drive turned or is this a bug in the bios that it detects drive hard, but does not assign a letter properly?

  If I try the recovery console in xp Setup there is no disk to read or write, if I maps the drive in recovery only the cd/dvd rom found no hard drive.

  Any help would be great thank you because I don't know what to do, I don't think that the hard drive is shot myself but maybe if I can get a laptop and try the hard drive what she will say if it is or not, but for now I'm stuck with no. had to go.

  I tried many things
  1. cdrom out and replaced plugs
  2. Jack hard drive out and replaced
  3 took Ram out and replaced

  Hello Shoah

  You did what I would recommend.
  I remember what one of my friends has had a similar problem on an A200. But after the BIOS reset by default, he was able to install the OS from the recovery CD.

  The whole is very mysterious. It looks like a HARD disk failure, but the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS. But have you checked the HARD disk in other laptop or computer?
  You can try to connect the HARD disk via the external USB HDD controller and could check if it s ok and could format.

  I recommend also to remove the CD/DVD drive and the HARD drive, then set the BIOS to default settings immediately (don't forget to save changes). Then try to power upward without the HARD disc and the drive.
  To my knowledge, you should get an error message.
  Then stop the laptop and put both the device in Notepad. Then go to BIOS and check if both devices are properly recognized.

  Finally, I must say that I don't know if my proposal will help m.
  If she won't help, you will need to contact an ASP in your country, because it really looks like a serious problem.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 freezes / restarts randomly on startup

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200, Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 6.0.6002.
  Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz
  Video ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 version = 8.380.0.0
  Audio version of Realtek High Definition Audio = 6.0.1.5406
  Network Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller version = 10.0.4.3
  Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection version = 11.5.0.32

  For the two weeks... my laptop randomly freezes / restarts... especially when it is started for the first time in the day OR after being in standby / hibernation of State for a few hours.
  Sometimes it gets stuck before we get to the login screen... sometimes shortly after... no certain activity seems to be related to this gel. And it's not freezing all the time... sometimes it restarts too. No blue screen.

  No new software installed, except regular updates of windows. No conflict in the device driver. I checked the website of toshiba for the latest drivers. BIOS had a newer version... So I installed which (2.5). But the problem has not disappeared.

  When the computer reboots, it works fine... I'm not able to find something to worry about in the event viewer. Start logging also came not to the top with a few errors. I also disabled the option restart automatically.

  Windows partition was low on space... only 6 GB left of allotted 40 GB... so I thought to backup and install from scratch... do that... all the updates that are installed during the next days... but my laptop is back to the same State. One thing I notice, is that now it takes longer after starting (and then restart) to connect to the wireless router. But this isn't a problem.

  Microsoft Fix It didn't help either... am looking for help to identify the cause and resolve it.

  Is there a conflict somewhere which surfaces while system is booting high / shortly after startup?

  Thank you in advance.

  > How we can say is that there is nothing wrong with the equipment? What else can a check?
  The new installation of the operating system has not helped. Right?
  So for me it looks like hardware related issue.
  I think the disk HARD or RAM (memory)

  The HARD drive can be easily verified. Download the drive diagnostic tool called HARD: Drive Fitness Test
  It s freeware tool and it allows you to scan the HARD drive and get details on possible malfunction.

  The diagnosis of RAM can be done easily. Of course, there are tools like memtest86 + and similar, but in my experience the results of the analysis are not always 100% right
  So, in that these cases it s always a good idea to test the laptop using new tested s RAM

• Satellite A200-23U - strange Grapich/display problem

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-23U and it has a problem... sometimes graphics seems worse suddenly or are destroyed. A simple reboot can operate correctly, but it is very possible to reproduce... when I say that the graphics are getting worse I mean the resolution becomes a little bit worse, and the colors are unacceptable... some waves are created and the areas that were almost of the same color before the problem are now surrounded by a ring-wave , they have only one color with no shading and a few white spots are in these areas... after the restart, everything is ok...!

  I think the problem happens when the laptop is hot, but I'm not sure because he appeared also when the laptop was working only a few minutes in a cold environment and sometimes the device can be turned on for long hours and very hot, but the problem does not appear... Where did you think is the problem?

  The possible reasons, I can think of is the monitor or the cable that connects the graphics card with the monitor. Another reason that I n t think it's quite possible is the graphics card. I think this is less possible because if the problem exists on my laptop and I connect to another external screen as my TV, the problem still exists on the screen of the laptop, but the image on the external monitor is perfect...

  I'm ready to put new and bigger (2 GB I'll put 4gp) memory ram because the graphics card uses the RAM and the RAM is very high work when I play a game or watch a move.

  Do you think it will help or solve problems? What do you think I could do?

  Hi John

  What then? As I see you have good test connect your laptop to the TV. Always is that this test can help you see if the problem can be related to the graphics card, but if there is no problem graphics card is probably OK and this graphic problem must relate to something else.

  Of course, this virtual path, no one will be able to offer the exact diagnosis and say what can be the problem and we can only speculate what part of the material may be troublemaker.

  In my opinion there must be a problem between the motherboard and display. I don t think that the display is faulty, but perhaps the cable must be exchanged, perhaps connector on motherboard make problems. It is not easy to say what to do.

  Fact is that analysis only offer exact answer so I think you need professional help with this.
  Maybe you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Let them check it all and ordering new parts if necessary.

  I put t think that you want to risk and disassemble the laptop everything yourself, have you?

• Re: Satellite A200 - 14 d - cable defective screen or something else?

  Hi, guys. :)

  I'm having a problem with my display. I don't have an external display to test on so I have to give the service a go because I don't want to buy the part after part and replace it with my 'old' just to know that the problem is not caused by the latter. That said, here is a more detailed description of the source of my headaches:

  More than 3 weeks ago (yeh, that much!: D) the backlight of my screen (Toshiba Satellite A200 - 14 d) turned black. "No worries!" I thought because I had 2 cases before replacing the inverter Board. If things were really that simple... * sigh * I bought a frequency inverter making sure that is the problem (I can see what happens on the screen only if I have a bright source of light pointed in his direction - this is what made me think that the problem comes from the Commission of the inverter).

  I replaced the inverter, but to my great disappointment, the bakclight does not turn on or at least not for long. I noticed that there is light in the lower right corner of the screen. Once I disassembled completely my screen and a large part of the laptop itself, I have riddled the cables a bit and now if I don't move around the screen and put it in a special position backlight turnes on until after load of the GRUB bootloader. But sometimes it lights. So obviously this isn't the backlight itself (phewwww) for when it is activated, I can see the entire screen and there is a bright light everywhere.

  So before considering service I want to have a diagnosis of my own (with your help of course: D) and see, just for the record, if I'm right.
  As I wrote before - I don't have an external display to test these things. I can play movies and games without a problem (it's - regardless of the fact that I do not see a thing without a flashlight in my hand into account: D).

  So the omho problem is either the motherboard itself (which I can test with an external display :() or cable.
  In view of the facts and experiences, I did and described above, I think that cable is the source of all evil.

  See you soon,.
  RBA

  > As I wrote before - I don't have an external display to test these things. I can play movies and games without a problem (it's - regardless of the fact that I do not see a thing without a flashlight in my hand into account: D).

  Well, the backlight is controlled by FL inverter s thereby
  If the FL inverter didn t solve the problem, then there must be problems with a screen itself

  The external monitor would check if the problem is related to the graphics chip or the screen itself, but if you have no external monitor then I would recommend a visit to a downtown computer technician

  I mean, it is best to check the parts first before replacing something without knowing if the part is really affected you know

• Satellite A200-AH1 does not start problem

  I have this Toshiba Satellite A200 - AH1 laptop computer that will not start.

  The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).

  When I remove 1 stick, the system starts without a problem, if I replace it, and the other, the laptop boots also upwards. I tested the two ram slots and ram spent each time.

  The problem of the laptop does not start only seems to happen when the laptop has installed two sticks. I tried even to 2 different new corresponding sticks and still nothing until I remove 1 piece of ram.

  Everyone encountered this problem before?
  Any ideas what the problem may be.

  My only other option would be to install a single piece of 1 GB of ram, but I would really like a better option.

  Thanks in advance...

  > The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).
  You got your laptop with these memory modules?
  Are you sure that you are using compatible RAM (DDR2-667)?
