Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

Hello!

I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
No thing hard disk led...

I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
Thank you very much

Hello

I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    HII!

    IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

    The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?

    If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

    Thank you!

    The restore CD will of course work.
    The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

    > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
    > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
    To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

    Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

  • Satellite Pro A200: Do I need all the drivers for Toshiba

    Hi readers,

    Just recently discovered these new drivers for most issued in December 2007. I bought a satellite Pro A200 in Nov, where 32 + BIOS updates for this laptop

    I'm going abroad in 15 days with the laptop. Do you think that its really necessary to install all these new drivers until I go?

    I spent some time to uninstall trial applications. which have now expired. Installed a new firewall ZA & Avast AV. , and Office 2003

    S comment will be taken and review the status etc.

    Cordially deejaydee

    I have the Satellite A200 and I updated added package only. Other stuff should not be updated.

    With the new flash version maps run a lot faster and you can use them much better than before. If you want to download the same version, remove preinstalled system and at least to install the latest version.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: need driver Lan and screen for XP

    Hey

    Please help me!

    I just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but I had trouble with the drivers.
    For the moment, I installed most but from this site, I can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, or my video NIVIDIA player...

    any suggestions would be very valuable

    The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is unclear to me. I know the PSAE1, the PSAE4 and the PSAE7Satellite Pro A200. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?

    If you do not find only XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and graphics chip installed on the motherboard and use drivers XP from the manufacturing of the chip.

    If you need a graphic driver, I advise to use the drivers from the site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Can't get the shortcut keys don't work on Win XP

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E that came with Vista on it, I reinstalled Win XP Pro installed with relevant drivers download Toshiba page but cannot get working shortcut keys.

    I installed the controls and the driver, but that doesn't seem to work. Saw an ad on "common module" somewhere, but can't seem to find any links to download on the download page.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you very much

    The control utility and driver controls allow you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings. But it is not a FN keys!

    You must install the Hotkey utility if you want to use the FN keys.

    Another tip:
    It is important that all Toshiba drivers and utilities are installed in the correct order.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find a txt file called installation instructions.
    Please install all drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to find the driver for Win XP ATI

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7, I bought and it is with Vista on early. I decided to upgrade (/ downgrade) it to XP, but there is problem with the driver for graphics (Radeon HD 2600 Series).

    I can't find anywhere ati drivers (in fact I found it on the site ati.amd.com, but on this forum that I read that Toshiba drivers are changed so that the Radeon is overheating) and I am wonderig if Vista that works under XP (I downloaded all the drivers but ati one)?

    .. and is possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft website (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall using my old copy (provided with the old Toshiba)?

    PS.
    Sory for my English

    PS2.
    Is it so important to install the drivers in good condition?

    What do you mean by; There is a problem with the driver ATI XO?

    The European driver Toshiba page provides all the necessary XP drivers and tools.
    The ATI GPU driver came out too!

    An important note; If you want to install XP on this Vista machine, you must update the BIOS to the XP compatible version!

    Regarding your question about the downgrade from Vista to XP Pro via Microsoft site;

    Short answer; No this is not possible!

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - very low picture on the screen

    Guys, I really need help.

    I picked up on old satellite pro 4600 eBay and have rebuilt the thing - everything works EXCEPT the screen - I get a very small image, even on the start screen.

    So far I have - changed the cable lcd - no effect. changed the Panel itself, no effect and inverter (4 times!).

    Any suggestions? Driver problem? Setting I missed somewhere? Motherboard problem?

    Hmmm. My first thought was the faulty FL inverter.
    Are you sure you used the right and compatible FL inverter? A connect it correctly?

    What about the keys FN + F6/F7? It allows to set the brightness to a higher level?

    Then maybe you should check for this possibility.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - repeat vertical lines on the screen

    I hope someone can help me.

    I am a teacher and was bought by my school a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 for me to do my school work and connect to a SMART board to teach with. Throughout its probably one of the best laptops I got through school. I got it two months.

    There is only one problem with it. Its developed a rather weird problem. Occasionally, the screen suddenly freezes, and the display will be replaced by thin, alternating vertical black and white lines. The only way to get rid of them is to turn off the laptop and restart it (particularly annoying when it happened in the middle of a lesson when I've been respected by an OFSTEd Inspector!)

    Technician computer school has no idea what is the cause. I was wondering if someone here might have some advice.

    Thanks in advance.

    I ve the same laptop but I didn t receive similar lines on the screen.
    What you could do is update the BIOS and the driver (if possible) display.

    If the same problem happens again, you must connect an external monitor to the laptop.

    Then check if the same lines appears on the external display. If so, then a problem of graphics card might be possible!

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - power off when the AC adapter is connected

    I bought this laptop for my wife about 2 years, since about 6 months ago, that the laptop was randomly shut off without warning, this only seems to happen while the power supply is connected as well.

    I have read several other posts on other sites with people having similar problems.

    There are various suggested corrections, you must disable the duel core in the bios so that it works only on one heart and he spend dynamic low for fans. I did this about 2 hours ago and touchwood not a single switch off again. This however is not an acceptable solution, there is obviously much more slowly.

    Another suggestion has been updated the bios, I downloaded it now but am very worried to run it, this laptop can stop at any moment, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. If it stops while updating to bios, I doubt that it would be good news. I don't want to make it work on the single core for the rest of the day/night to see if its stable and then go for it.

    Before that, can I make a call to the toshiba helpline, I read on the forums that this is as well a defect of design within the laptop and there's a reminder of some of the laptops in the Canada, I do not know how it rings true but still a concern to read and might be unacceptable to the owners of the A200.

    Others have advised that it is an overheating problem, it's that I reject, I running SpeedFan and showing a stable 47 temp and it allows to switch off the coast immediately when turned on, yes it could be due to dust build up, something I checked and cleared, it did not a difference for the frequent switch offs.

    Im not too well why it is only when the power supply is connected, I have not tried a different PSU, but those who have had the same problem try this and it has not solved the problem.

    When I unplug my power as well the battery seems last mabye 5 minutes at the most.

    Overall, Im very unhappy all this, toshiba is a brand of 'high' where you expect better quality and pay for it.

    If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, would be also good to hear talk of toshiba support on the issue.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7): failed to update the firmware Vista

    Hello

    I tried tp update the firmware of my HD-DVD player with new firmware TO35 (SD-L802B), but it is not possible. The upgrade of this Winvup button is not selectable. I had the same problem with an older firmware, but I just thought that it was because the firmware is up-to-date (book is 1 month old).

    Winvup shows my drive as "TOSHIBA DVGW/HD SD-L802B TO01 (26/10/07). The discription of To35 said, he needs a version of TO33 or T034, that is the problem?

    I got this firmware update form [link firmware: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE&mode=allMachi nes & action = search & teddProduct = 737]
    so, it should be the right one.

    So what can I do to upgrade my drive? Watching a HD DVD is not possible :(

    THX,
    Holger

    It is not possible to update the firmware on your SD-L802B drive because the firmware released on the Toshiba page deigned for the TS-L802A drive.
    Do not mix these two discs! It is not the same thing!

    I found this site on the engraver of DVD Super-Multi SD-L802B
    http://www.storage.Toshiba.EU/index.php?id=3&PID=221

    But according to this page, the firmware is not available for this driver (at this time?  :|)

  • Satellite Pro A200 - 1NB PSAE7E cannot install the chipset driver

    I decided to install windows XP last night and for this I slipstreamed SP3 and all the drivers that I could find on the Toshiba support site in my installation CD with nLite. Installation went well, but the problem appeared when I tried to install the driver of the Intel chipset that is a .exe file.

    What I get is an installer that gets stuck in the middle (port 5 PC ich8 something)... after that, I have to hold the power button to get off the computer in power.

    I've updated the BIOS, but it doesn't change anything...

  • Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E: Volume control moves without any breakpoint

    First time I've used this excuse. Just bought my second Toshiba this time Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E Vista Business. The volume control turns both clockwise and anti hourly without any breakpoint that it in either... just begins to turn.

    Increase and decrease the volume but it is unpredicatble and the fact that there is no breakpoint on the rotation of the wheel is I wonder if there is a fault? Seems strange to me.

    Adivce appreciated
    See you soon

    There s nothing wrong with the volume control!
    Here are the new properties of the volume control. These volume controllers are integrated in the different portable Toshiba top of range, that a similar volume controller can be found in the new Qosmio series

  • Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using the recovery CD

    I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A200, which was supplied with the product for Vista and XP Recovery discs.
    The license specifically Vista also XP licenses.
    Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to Vista or XP? If so, how?

    I would also like a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
    Any comments?

    Hmmm. Usually it s possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer, but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista recovery CD formats whole disk when installing Vista and this will lead to the loss of the OS installed.
    I m not 100% sure on the recovery of the newest XP CD called RECON doesn t CD include an expert mode which allows to choose between the different partitions.

    So I guess that each use the recovery CD will format the HARD drive and erase the installed data. But of course, you can try to install the two BONES and to check if the restore XP CD allows to choose the second part of the installation of the OS.

    If it does not, it seems that you will need to an original XP from Microsoft CD or the original CD of Vista to use the two BONES.
