• Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

  Hi all

  I have a similar problem with A100-646 (purchased in Italy). Computer laptop LCD and monitor external display screen black but without another problem at the start of the system. When the laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it works for a week with no problems.

  Unfortunately, there is no adequate service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a power problem.

  Is there another idea? Does anyone have a service manual? ([email protected])

  Service manuals are available only for the technicians of the ASP.
  Unfortunately, it looks like a hardware problem, and therefore, you should get in contact with a technician for laptop to check defective parts!

• Re: Satellite A100-003 - need of Windows Vista 64-bit drivers

  I want to upgrade my OS to Vista 64-bit, but I can't find it anywhere
  I want the functions to work such as media buttons (stop, play,... etc.)
  I got my cell phone as a gift from the Middle East, and now I'm having hard to upgrade

  This is the Satellite A100-003

  Any suggestions?

  If the European driver of Toshiba page doesn t provide the driver 64 bit Vista for this laptop, then you have some many other opportunities to visit some 3rd Web sites and collect only drivers to clean hands.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 - 003 WLAN (with WPA - PSK) connection timeout

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-003 with preinstalled in Windows Vista.
  When I try to connect to my router with WPA - PSK (TKIP) I have error:
  Wireless authentication failed because of a time-out.
  My laptop and the router configured properly! I installed the new drivers intel 3945ABG chip.
  WPA2-PSK and WEP are working very well.

  Hello

  The same thing happened on my old laptop.
  I was not able to establish the WiFi connection for more than 1 min with WPA encryption.
  I downloaded the latest Atheros driver and updated everything.
  Everything works very well with WEP but not WPA.

  Then I disabled the option to clean Windows configuration and use the Atheros utility. Now everything works fine!
  I recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all the possible settings!

• Satellite A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

  2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

  http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=satellitea100003xg4.jpg

  I was wondering in Toshiba laptops of the Turkey has problems or handed in state something? I sent e-mail to the web site of Toshiba Turkey but they don't send me emails or information.

  Thank you for helping me,
  Halin

  Hello

  First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
  Don t worry, register just she.

  With regard to the RAM:

  Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

  In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
  CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

  I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

  Have a nice weekend

• Additional package for Satellite A100-003

  I have a Satellite A100-003 and I just installed vista 64-bit, which is the correct for toshiba value added package, because I get an error at the end of the installation. Thank you

  First of all the buddy I wonder about your first message.
  You said;
  > I just installed vista 64-bit, which is the correct version for Toshiba package extra

  I visited the Toshiba European page and I didn t find drivers for Vista 64 bit and VAP for Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE.

  Because of this, I DON T wonder that you receive error messages.
  The error messages appear because you use wrong and NOT compatible software.

  You have updated the BIOS?
  OK, this grand but the BIOS is designed for Vista 32 bit and not 64 bit.
  So it s no matter if the BIOS has been updated or not.

  So he just said; Don t install the VAP for Vista 32 bit on 64 bit Vista version

  Good bye

• Can satellite A100-003 - I install Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

  Hello everyone,

  I have the Satellite A100-003 and I've been running it with Windows XP since I it (triple). Now I want to install Windows 7 on it, however, I'm confused about what can I install on it.

  I have a few places on the Toshiba site, I found that I can install Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit), but I can met some problems with the BIOS, in other places, I tried but could not find the drivers for Windows 7 64 bit.

  So what is the case? My first goal is to install windows 7 64 bit, because I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, but even the 32 bit would be a better choice than XP right now.
  So I can install Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop?

  Thanks in advance for any answer!

  Hello

  Important before installing another OS, you check the Toshiba driver download page. Satellite A100-003 belongs to the PSAARE series and is therefore not available for Windows 7 drivers. You can only get the drivers for Windows XP and Vista 32 bit.

  This means that you can try to install Windows 7 because Vista drivers most also work on Windows 7.
  If this isn't the case you find newer drivers yourself, maybe you can find something.

• Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - information necessary Ram upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) with 32-bit Vista installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).
  I was wondering if it is possible to change the 1 RAM (1024MB) with this RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz?
  Support page says that this laptop supports up to 4 GB of RAM total.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Generally this information in the user manual it s always mentioned in the manual that is preinstalled on your laptop.

  I downloaded the manual on the Toshiba page and found this:
  Slots _Memory: _
  + PC4200 256 MB or 512 MB or 1024 MB modules of memory can be installed in the locations of two memory for a max memory 2048 MB system. +

  _Memory expansion; _
  Only the memory modules with the number of following parts can be installed:
  256 MB PA338QU - 1 M 25
  512 MB PA3412U - 1 M 51
  1 GB-PA3411U-1M1G

  By the way; the 32 bit OS Vista won't recognize the 4 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system. The 32-bit OS can handle max 3.2 GB.

• Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - Ram upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).

  I want to improve my system with 2x2gb DDR2 667 MHz Ram.
  When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  Or he will recognize less than 4 GB?

  Is there a link between the ram and 32 bit OS?
  What are your suggestions?

  Thank you.

  > When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  > Or it will recognize less than 4 GB

  You use the 32-bit Windows System. This means that your Windows operating system can recognize 3.2 GB of RAM max. It's max possible RAM for 32-bit systems.

  But as far as I know that it takes in charge max 2 GB of RAM. Has been mentioned in the page manual user 22 and 33

  Hello

  Satellite A100-003 is a part of the PSAARE series. I visited the page European driver of Toshiba, but I found only the acoustic silence, help them and the driver sound
  Other XP drivers are not available.

  You can try to download and install the tools (Touch Pad on / off Utility, Hotkey Utility)

• Satellite A100 - 003 (PSAARE) - disk HARD help upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit installed and 3 GB of RAM 667 MHz.
  I want to spend my hard drive. But I don't know which model is most suitable for my computer.

  There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?

  If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.

  Thank you.

  > There are two options: 7200 rpm or 5400 RPM HARD drive.
  > What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of hard drives?
  The 7200 RPM drive is faster than the or 5400 RPM HARD drive. This allows read and write faster data on the HARD drive, but to be honest; in most cases, this difference is not noticeable

  > If I buy a 7200 RPM HARD drive, do I have a problem with the heat and noise?
  No, normally you should not get any problem the two type of HARD drive are compatible with laptops

  > If you can give me some names of HARD drive model that you suggest, it will be better for me.
  To be honest, you can use any HARD SATA 2.5 drive. The SATA controller is not limited to a capacity of HARD drive that you can take any disk of your choice

• Re: Satellite A100-011 does not start, a black screen at the beginning

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-011, which is almost 5-6 years. It suddenly started to behave abnormal.

  First of all, I started to get a 1-2 sec black screen when he was running. The screen was on and off occasionally.

  After a few days, I could not started upward from my windows xp sp3 operating system. I tried to start in safe mode with networking to see if I had a few spy, virus or something. I ran avast, hijact, ad-aware and some more, but not found anything.

  Later, I tried to format my laptop with a xp professional, but this time I can't see any reflection that passes more fun running and a black screen. I just got a black screen at the beginning and it does not start.

  I plugged on a television screen, and here I have started. I have re-installed all the drivers and formatted, but all I get is a black screen on my laptop at the beginning.

  What should I do now? Do you think I have a problem with my screen of HW or a driver problem with nvidia geforce go 7600? Maybe I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance for all replies.

  If you can see the picture on the TV there are a few s laptop display problem. Y at - it some problem connection or display itself.

  You want to fix it yourself? You can disassemble the laptop?
  I mean if you have any experience with this kind of things that you should seek professional help.

• Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

  Hi friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
  Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
  Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

  Please help me.
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Julie,.

  It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

  I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

  Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

  My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

  Kind regards
