• Satellite A100-811 - maximum memory capacity

  I have an old A100-811 Satellite with Windows XP SP3. It has 1 GB of memory (2 x 512). I want to improve the memory. What should I do?

  1. put another memory of 2 GB so the total is 2.5 GB (will I get in trouble for using two types of 512 MB and 2 GB memory?)

  2 put 2 x 1 GB total 2 GB (for better styling?)

  3. put 2 x 2 GB. But will I have the 4 GB memory full or only 3 GB because of the limitations of memory Win Xp?

  Do I need a BIOS update for this?

  Thanks in advance for any info!

  Hi skga100,

  The maximum capacity of RAM in Satellite A100-811 is 4 GB. This means that you can install 2 GB in each slot.

  Usually for Windows XP 2 GB is enough but I want to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7, you should think about 3 or 4 GB

  In your case, I would buy a 2GB memory module. If you are on the safe side.
  Why? If you want to install Vista or Windows 7 later, you can buy a second memory module and keep your 2 GB module. Who s the easiest way. :)

  And no, upgrading the BIOS is not necessary.

• Satellite A100-811 - number of the motherboard

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A100-811. Part number: PSAA8E-0YT026G3, I want to know the motherboard model and price to buy.

• Satellite A100-811 T5600 processor upgrade > T7600

  Hello world!

  I have old Toshiba Satellite A100-811 (motherboard: Capell Valley (NAPA) CRB based on Intel 945 GM Express chipset, BIOS: Phoenix 6.00 upgrade) and I would like to replace processor for latest. My current CPU is Core 2 Duo T5600 @1. 83 GHz, Socket 479mPGA. I would like to install the Core 2 Duo T7600 @ 2.33 GHz. According to the website of Intel, are compatible with 945 GM and socket 479mPGA T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479.

  link to the specifications: http://ark.intel.com/products/27257/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7600-4M-Cache-2_33-GHz-667-MHz-FSB

  I like to make sure if T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479 will cooperate with this laptop.

  It would be a great help if you could give me some advice and confirm if it will be good choice :-)

  No one will be able to tell if this new CPU would work correctly with this laptop because upgrades processors are not supported by one of the manufacturers of mobile phones.

  But from my own experience, updates are possible, sometimes.
  If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running.
  But I m not very good on the BIOS is supported, but usually, it shouldn't be a problem.

• How to adjust the video memory on Satellite A100-811

  Hi all

  There, an agency know how to adjust the memory of the video card in the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-811?
  The physical memory of my laptop is 512 MB, I want to share my 128 MB videocard, nomatter if 384 will remain in my physical memory.

  Your immediate response is much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance
  Jilvir

  Hello

  the Satellite A100 supports an Intel 945GM processor 8MB - 128 MB of graphics memory shared memory, it's true. But
  as far as I know it of not possible to allocate this memory shared manually, it happens automatically.

  If the application running more graphic must map memory then the OS will be automatically increases this value.

  It seems that this laptop came with 512 MB of memory. In my opinion you must upgrade the memory of 1024MB if you want to use the full 128 MB shared memory.

• Satellite A100 - save the battery when the laptop in a longer retention

  Hi, I have a * Satellite A100 * about 4-5 years. There was no intensive use (it's hospitality do not work) and is in good shape.

  I go there for at least 6 months and will PLAN A - most likely need to put the computer in stock, that is to say. No one will be able to access. PLAN B - there is a very low probability that someone could "baby sit" it but it can't count on him.

  Can anyone suggest what is the best way to deal with the LiOn battery in the above two cases?

  Can I remove or leave in the laptop?

  Is there a way to stop the battery completely dead while in storage / is not not in use?

  Thanks... any advice appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion it makes no difference if you put the battery 6 months or leave it in the computer. In both cases, the battery must be charged because it also loses power when it s turned.

  If nobody is using the computer you can remove the battery, otherwise and someone would use you can install the battery.

• Satellite A100-493 - short battery life

  Hei,
  I installed windows 7 on my Toshiba ' Satellite A100-493. After the installation of the battery life drops to 20 min. What can I do?

  And I read in the support that toshiba has a battery for this model Exchange program, it is now possible to change the battery?

  Welcome them
  Kalle

  Hey Buddy,

  Where did you read about this procedure to Exchange battery?

  In my opinion, the dough is near end of life because Satellite A100 is old laptop model and if you didn t exchange the battery yet it seems to be bad now.

  Usually, a battery can be recharged 500 - 1000 times and after that, need to replace the battery because it s a part not reusable.

  Hello

  I ask myself why Toshiba is expected to publish a bad BIOS?  :|
  It makes no sense to me, you can find a lot of people with a Satellite A100 and as far as I know nobody had and problem with 5 BIOS update, 9 - Win for A100 PSAA8
  So I guess you did something wrong.

  However, according to the European Toshiba 6.0win driver Bios page is available at this time and should work fine

  But I have an important question; Why do you want to update the BIOS?
  Is there something wrong with your laptop?
  If not, then the update of the BIOS is not necessary and as you already know an update of the BIOS is ALWAYS risky ;)

  take care of the GUY

• Satellite A100-811 PSAA8Esupports SATA 2

  Hello.

  I have some information of http://www.lippert-at.com Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset taken in charge by the SATA_2 RAID controller.
  But in Satellite A100-811PSAA8E material, it is recognized as SATA_1.

  I take up my sistem for SATA_2?

  SATA 2, you mean with the SATA 3.0 Gbps
  Well from my knowledge the A100-811 supports the interface Serial ATA Rev. 1. 0a.
  So it s a SATA_1 (1.5 Gbps)

  But if the chipset supports the SATA_2 then you might consider!

• Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

  Hi people,

  My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

  When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

  The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

  I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
  I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
  Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
  Laptop is out of warranty.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  See you soon
  Steve

  Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

  Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

• Can I put my Satellite A100 - 811 OS to Windows Vista ulitimate?

  Hello, I want to improve my A100-811 OS to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition instead of WinXP.
  I find the drivers for this model easily... will be any problems after the upgrade?
  Vista will work very well on this model?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  the machine is vista ready, then it shouldn´t be a problem to install vista on it. With regard to the ultimate edition: I do not know how the performance will be because things like aero or some other 'system tools' slow the machine down really low. It might be better to stay in XP until they release the first servicepack for Vista (no matter what edition, global it s for all versions ;)).

  So if you want to REALLY do, so I give you here a link (http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/) where you can search for drivers for your machine, and you should do something like downloading all the drivers, burn them on CD or put on a USB key, back up all your data and then install vista after you have formatted the hard drive.

  Good luck buddy

• Satellite A100-784 - Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG off randomly

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter.
  Today I was working with my friend on some project connected on his wifi sharing internet connection on Toshiba Satellite A100-510.
  After a while I lose the internet connection and I see that this blue icon is no longer in the test system.

  I try to use Toshiba ConfigFree but it was impossible to open, so I try to open the network connection of the control panel and after a period of time the network connection has been accessible and I saw that this network adapter is disabled. I try to activate three times but nothing.

  After rebooting, everything was ok and wireless adapter is turned on and ready to use for the next 10 or 15 minutes.
  First disable comes after two hours. I use Windows XP SP 2.

  The problem is that I have to restart my computer everytime where I lose internet connection (WiFi is turned off automatically).
  Everything is blocked its very hard to access the settings of network or toshiba configfree

  Thank you

  Try this:

  Update the BIOS of the laptop
  Update driver Intel Wireless LAN
  Use static IP addresses, instead of dynamic (DHCP)
  Temporarily disable your firewall software
  Update the Firmware on your Access Point
