  Sorry, but the Equium A120 is unclear to me. Where did you find information on this laptop and HARD shock anti-mecanisme disc?

  Hello

  My husband and I are two retreats with very little knowledge of computers, and we received a Toshiber Equium A100-147 of a friends wife after the death of her husband.

  When turn it on as soon as the Toshiba screen appears it want an entered password and my question is what is the password.
  I looked through all the documents related to our friends for the computer and there is nothing there.

  Elaine

  Hello

  I think you're talking about the BIOS password.
  This password can be set or removed in the BIOS and its type of protection.
  Without knowing this password you will not be able to boot Windows system

  Also it is not possible to remove this password if you know n t s the old password.
  Only the technician of the ASP (authorized service provider) would be able to bypass and remove this password

  So I see only one solution; local ASP contact and ask for help.

  Welcome & good luck

• Equium A100-147 would not start

  Equium A100-147 would not start. Only the lights next to the CapsLock F10 F11 keys are on. When the switch is pushed the lights disappear back only after about 15 seconds.

  Help, please.

  Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for 30 seconds. Wait a few moments, connect the power adapter only and try to start your laptop.

  What happens when you do this?

• Equium A100-147 replacement hard drive

  Hello

  I got a toshiba Equium A100-147 by a friend. The only problem is that it comes without a hard drive, because he still destroyed his old hdd to protect its personal and professional data.

  I saw in a local computer store a disk sata hard very good price for only? Â £38 it's a 160 GB w Digital Scorpio 5400 RPM 8 MB Cache S - ATA HDD laptop someone knows if it will work or this laptop does it work-specific hdd?

  Looking forward to any help you guys can give

  Hello

  Of course you need a compatible HARD drive.
  There are two different standards of HARD drive. SATA and IDE

  You need the HARD drive with the SATA interface. I think the original HARD drive was 100 GB.
  So a 120 GB and maybe a 160 GB SATA HDD should also be compatible.

  As far as I know the HARD drive slot was placed at the bottom of the unit and a screw secures the plastic cover.
  It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and I think that the details could be found in the user manual.

  Good bye

• Equium A100-147 doesn't boot up - no display on screen

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-147. When I turn, I see as the light of the maximum but there is no display on the screen.
  I read on a previous thread on a similar model that this has been fixed by resetting the computer.
  I understand there is a possibility that there is a problem with the motherboard, but I remain optimistic that a manual-reset would work.

  Is someone can you please tell me how this can be done?

  You can try this procedure simple and short;

  -Remove the battery from the laptop
  -disconnect 3rd external devices and adapter
  -leave the laptop for about 20-30 min
  -then reconnect battery and AC adapter

  If the portable fuel after this procedure, then your have a serious hardware problem and only the ASP can help you.

  I don t want to make a statement on the possible faults, because it of always hard to say what's wrong exactly, but it looks a bit like a motherboard problem.

• USB 2.0 Bluetooth DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED - Equium A100-147

  Hi all!!!

  I have posted b4 about my problems of BT, but still no further forward.

  I have a 2.0 usb toggle universl BT, my last worked well until it broke.

  Since I had xp pro installed, but my USB does not recognize my rocking do not even have a pop up? any ideas.

  When I plug it 3 fast Dong

  Unplug and made 2 Dong

  I tried to install the drivers usb, but nothing.

  do my head now... Please someone help me resolve this issue!

  As far I know Equium A100-147 doesn t support the internal BT module and so if it was not equipped with the BT Toshiba stack.

  If you use an external 3rd party module BT, then you should check if there are drivers designed specially for this external BT dongle.

  Also, check if the BT dongle would be recognized in the Device Manager.
  If there is no dongle BT listed in the list of devices, then remove all controllers and hubs of UBS in the list and restart the device.
  After rebooting again Win XP should initialize the USB ports again and then you try to plug the dongle BT again.

  Good luck

• Equium A100-147 - including modules of RAM to upgrade?

  Hello

  I think to upgrade the RAM on my Equium A100-147 and I was wondering what kind of RAM I should get and what is the maximum amount of RAM supported?

  It has a processor clocked at 1.6 GHz centrino duo t2050 if that's any help? I looked on the toshiba site and they sell only 1 GB of supported modules, but in other places I've seen people say that it can take more?

  Thank you

  Hi mate,

  The maximum RAM capacity depends on your chipset you have. From Toshiba Web site displays a maximum capacity of 4 GB of RAM, but don t forget, you need an OS to use the full capacity of 64-bit. Otherwise, you are only able to use about 3 GB.

  You can buy all the modules you want to, but I made good experiences with the Kingston modules. Kingston memory research shows the compatible modules for your laptop:

• Equium A100-147: can not play games becauce slow DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium A100-147. I tried many games on my laptop which should conform to the specifications required for example battlefield 2, however, these games does not work and I didn't know why. I then realized that all the games I tried were all on 4 DVD-ROM drive demanding x, and the specifications I provided with my laptop did not specify what kind of DVD player, I had another super multi layer or something.

  It is while I tried the games that were demanding CD-ROM which all worked fine, I then tried a game that was 2 x DVD ROM demanding that worked apart from a small problem with models of characters not displayed, so I took back defective. Then I tried a 1 x DVD-ROM game that worked perfectly.

  Today, I decided to get my DVD specifications, where I found that my laptop should read 8 x DVD - ROM drives.
  So my question is, is my defective DVD player for not playing more than 1 x DVD - ROM games? And can I contact Toshiba or my provider for repair or replacement or my problem would be something else?

  Thank you, Josh

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop was delivered with the drive UJ - 841S and the drive supports 8 x DVD-ROM.
  Of course, there must be something wrong if the drive cannot read DVD-ROM media at full speed. The middle is not supported or the drive malfunctions

  What you can do is search for the update of the firmware. Many laptops come with the same drive. See the categories of driver and, possibly, there is a new update of the firmware.

  You can also try to remove the physical drive from the laptop and reboot the device without the drive. Then turn off the appliance, install the drive again and the boot upward.
  The laptop must initialize the firmware again and maybe this will help

  But it seems you notebook is not very old and the warranty is valid. If you need to contact the ASP in your country for more details and possibly for disc replacement

• Equium A100-147-glitch-pop-crack if the sound is muted

  Hello.

  I have an Equium A100-147 with Vista home Premium SP1 and 1 GB of RAM.

  Recently I get a glitch-pop-crack from time to time even if the audio output is cut.
  Have no idea what could be the cause?
  I'm more or less certain that everything is up-to-date.

  Thanks in advance.

  I never heard a question also and now I can t say what's the reason for this. :(

  You have the same problem on external speakers?
  What operating system do you use?

  Perhaps you need to update the audio driver you can find on the Toshiba site:

• Equium A100-147: I get an error during the recovery procedure

  Hi again,

  I had trouble with my equium a100-147.
  I tried a restore, but the disc is scratched so I phoned in ESL and it snet me a new recovery image.

  I tried the new recovery disk and am now errors when I boot the disk.

  error is

  "internal error crc file: \WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB895200$\msdtctm.dl.

  any suggestions are welcome. get really annoyed with my machine as my warranty expired only one month

  Thank you

  Hmm... I studied a bit and it looks a bit like a malfunction of the partition.
  It would be desirable to boot from the original CD of Microsoft XP and to start the repair console.
  Then you could try these various commands which help to repair the boot manager, repair errors, locate bad sectors and recover readable information.

  -fixboot
  -fixmbr
  -bootcfg /rebuild
  -chkdsk /r

  If this does not help, you should erase the entire partitions and must format the HARD drive in NTFS file system. Then access the BIOS and set it to the default value.
  Once this procedure tries to start again on the new recovery CD!

  Good bye
