  Hello

  According to these document Toshiba BIOS FAQ update of the BIOS can be done with 2 different procedures:
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  It is possible that you have useed the wrong or bad BIOS BIOS update procedure.
  Well, it's not easy to say why the connection of the laptop freezes. The fact is that the Satellite A100 is a laptop very new and it comes with all service packs Microsoft (SP1 + Sp2). I don't know whether you have installed the device manually, but you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  I would recommend recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD and finally, you check to see if the connection problem.

• Satellite Pro U400 starts and overheating problems

  Hello

  6 weeks ago, I bought a Satellite Pro U400. Shortly after that I bought, I noticed that the computer overheating. After 1 hour of use, it becomes very hot in the touchpad area, as well in the base of the computer and on the touchpad itself. It is very annoying because I almost burn my fingers with the touch pad.

  The problems began 10 days ago. I had been using the laptop for an hour when it suddenly turned off without notice. Power outage? I don't know Don t. I looked like a sytem of overheating protection. My previous laptop had the same problem. After a few minutes, I was able to turn it back on.

  Then it happened again a few days ago, but it took me 5 minutes to turn on. Yesterday, it happened again, and after 45 minutes without response, I went to bed. In the morning, I was able to turn it on.

  This also happens when wifi is disabled, it is not only a problem with the wifi card, overheating of the system.

  Am I the only one having this problem? I will try to send it back to Toshiba for a replacement or a refund.

  Is this normal in a really new machine?

  Thank you

  First, the warming of the touchpad is normal for almost every laptop, due to construction. Under this, there are the HARD drive and it produces heat. With my last books, and it was not bad, too.
  But really to get so hot?

  Due to the protection against overheating, it is normal that you cannot turn on your laptop immediately.
  But the wireless card is not the device in question, because it's a very small piece of hardware and produce little heat.

  You said, you had this problem with your notebook previous too. Let me ask you, when you use your notebooks? What your table surface there or is there no matter what on that table cloth?

  What I can tell you right now is, to check your locations of fantilation for all dust or maybe you have objects near it so that hot air can not cool.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba A100 Satellite PSAARA-055007 with Win XP Home SP3 and updates.

  For the life of me, I can't get this machine to success waking up from sleep mode or Hibernate mode!

  He goes into hibernation and sleep just fine, but when you try to start it back or out of hibernation or standby it seems to start to wake up and then it crashes just without the screen never turn it on. The only option is to difficult start-up of the system.

  So now standby or hibernation function not at all.

  Anyone? Help, please!

  Have you noticed the same behavior in the past?
  Maybe an upgrade of Microsoft is responsible.

• Satellite L50 - B - 1 HM overheating problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop, but for what I really need help is to contact/speak with someone on my current fix a petition (see last paragraph)

  The problem started with my laptop (serial No. YE280915C) making a noise of a piece loose in the upper right corner (where the fan is). This has happened for about 3 weeks, is difficult to detect in the first place where the sound came. It is in warranty and no drops / misuse took place. These sounds were not something continuous, just happened sometimes (about 3-4 days a week and for a few seconds). Eventually she stopped making noise. Then, I received several messages the system talk to me of a refrigeration problem, turn off the computer and call the technical service. While I was doing this task to communicate with them, I have reduced its use. The last day I was with the pc, he died.

  I made a petition to fix it. I'm of the Spain. My real problem is have not been able to talk to a human being throughout the process. I guess that a carrier is coming, but I don't know when or anything. I had to make the request via the web page (toshiba.es/sos) because it was impossible to do it by phone... I received a rational number of this web site, it contains numbers and the letter. I used the phone numbers are:
  -913797302. Meet a robot on your problem, but the end of the line is always busy whenever you called.
  -902283283 / 918004652. You answer the questions of a robot and when he asks you for the number of impact that you can not write letters, so I assumed the number I have is not correct.
  I need assistance to contact someone in Spain telling me if I have to do something more and at what point in the process, I.

  I wrote a very large response, but it gave an error and deleted.

  To sum up, I have two codes, but they seem to not be valid:
  GAB1MW0006
  7402788

  Also contact a supplier (repair within the http://www.toshiba.eu/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/ page site. They said they repair Toshiba product in warranty, but I have to pay the shipping of the product, and that Toshiba's slow pick-up of product and make the process (1-2 months)

  I have need help and advice on what to do.

  Hello Marcin

  In my opinion, you must be sure your laptop running fine and according to your assignment I do not here no problem.

  So in your case you have problem with some additional equipment or third party software. Am I wrong? If there is a problem I see no reason to seek the solution with Toshiba. You should contact the manufacturers of all the devices and software that you use. They should have enough experience with own products and they should offer good support in troubleshooting.

• Satellite A100 - 599: BIOS setup password problem!

  HM, it's unfortunate, but unfortunately, you will need to contact an authorized service center and ask them for help because they are the one and only who could probably help you with your problem.

  As far as I know, the BIOS must be something hard that cannot be revoked by typing certain codes that must be presented by toshiba in the Japan. And since they don t give such secrets out to end users like us, you have to click [HERE: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871] and contact the nearest ASP in your country.

• Satellite A100 - the fan runs at high speed after idle standby

  Hello

  My laptop is Satellite A100-912.

  The problem is when I suspend it for more the a few minutes when the fan is running at high speed. This occurs on both Windows XP and Linux GNU. When the temperature of the two nuclei will more then 51 degrees C fan slows down and begins to work as expected. Suspended for a short time (about a minute or two) the fan speed is OK.

  I've updated to the latest version of the BIOS.

  Hello

  What version of BIOS you have installed? Has recently been the machine in for repair? A few interesting facts where I need some information to help you...
  By the way: is your machine still in warranty?

• Satellite A100-495 - Intel 3945abg wireless network card cannot find wifi networks

  Greetings,

  I have some problems with networks wireless on my laptop Satellite A100-495.

  The problem is: my wireless adapter (intel / pro 3945abg) doesn't seem to find wireless networks. If I portable place very close to my router wireless (such as 1 m) - connection can be established. If I move away (~ 5 m)-no connection or 'very bad' quality and constantly broken. Other notebooks I've tried still have "very good" quality at the same range.

  This happens with other routers as well. And I can not any sign of wi - fi in my Uni (my colleagues have no problem with their machines).

  I tried to play up with some parameters. Reinstalled adapter. Downloaded the latest drivers. Nothing helps.

  A tip? Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Something like that happened to me a long time ago.
  I used the Wlan configuration option to own Windows. For several months, I use the Intel Proset configuration utility to establish the WiFi connection!
  It works!

  In addition, I have disabled the power Wlan option in the Wlan card properties save and adjust the intensity of the signal at top. I remember, in the advanced properties, you can find the 802.11 option preamble. The value is Long and short on my laptop.

  Hey dude... Check it out.

• Should I update Intel INF Utility on Satellite A100-784

  Hi guys,.

  I want to ask you. I started using the AdvancedCare system and the menu "update Driver" it showed me that I should download Intel INF Update Utility (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldId=16023&lang=eng).

  But I'm confused now if I have to install it when Windows Update never showed me this update possible.

  Is my laptop Toshiba A100 - 784 PSAANE and I use Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (No OEM base Vist I got when I bought this laptop).

  Thanks for your advice.

  Daniel

  Hello

  Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE works without problem?
  If Yes, then why you want to update anything?

  I have followed this recommendation; never change a running system.

  And in addition only a hint: use always the Toshiba page tools and drivers. Don t install any driver tool from 3rd party page if it of not really necessary.

  Good bye

• Flickering screen on Satellite A100

  First of all, I would like to say hello to everyone...

  My colleague at work came to me with his laptop, which is a Satellite A100 with a screen flicker problem.
  Its nothing major, but the screen flickers constantly randomly as it s refreshing.
  I tried an external monitor and it is very good, so I guess that the LCD, 'FL inverter Board' or connectors. There is no distortion of colors, no lines/ladies on the screen and no backlight problem.

  I'm not a genius in laptops, but I fixed mine with success.

  I disassembled the computer laptop and just had a glance, made sure no loose connections, dust etc put back together and still had the same problem with the screen flicker.

  Now, I have no idea of what a "FL inverter board" is, or if this could be the problem, so any information would be appreciated.
  It s is not prepared to buy a new LCD screen, only to find out that it is this UPS widget.

  Thanks in advance

  I think that the FL inverter converts high voltage to power the Tube FL. You must be careful with the ups because it can give you an electric shock.

  You say that there is no problem of backlight, so it would not be the inverter at fault.

  If this is the Image that flashes (while the backlight is always on), then there may be a bad connection behind the screen, or a part should be replaced (for example, the LCD, the cable or the graphics card).

• Linux distro with which it would work on Satellite A100?

  Hi guys,.
  My laptop is Satellite A100-011 and im having problems to choose a working linux distribution. I tried SuSE 10.1, SuSE 9.3 and Knoppix 5.1.1 but none of them doesn't work. Respectively - the first takes too long scan the system, the second goes down while the installation program is running and the live cd knoppix couldn't even managed to load - an error (although I don't exactly know it)
  Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  You can try Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Installation process is quiet easy (but be careful with partitioning, because the default schema can erase the disc). You will not have problems with wifi, because the distribution of a native Intel drivers for your card. If the sound card is compatible with SoundBlaster, must be nor any problem with this, and if not, there are some howtos to turn the sound on the wiki of Ubuntu (Kubuntu is exactly the same system as Ubuntu, but with KDE instead of Gnome preinstalled). Ubuntu repositories contain nVidia drivers too.

  Oh, the installation of Kubuntu program sometimes has problems with partitioning manual, but installed on partitions already prepared (for example using another distribution Setup) is a nice solution for this.

  Good luck! :)

  Kind regards

• Games and graphics on the Satellite A100-197

  I have a portable satellite A100-197 and I have problems to read some games. Most of the games work very well, but I have problems to read games on Steam, as source of counterstrike and half-life 2.

  Before starting the game, I gives me an error message saying Steam does not recognize my graphics card, and when I go in the game there is no display, just a white screen. I am told by the error message I use ' Mobile Intel 945GM express chipset family "." I don't know hardly what to do, if there is something that I can download to fix this or if I have to buy a new graphics card.

  If this is the case, should what card I buy? I said I need a low profile card, is this the case? What is the best to buy a small budget? I know there are a number of issues, but someone could please help me! Thanks ;)

  Hello

  I also play counter strike and my practice of experience games flow needs always the latest graphics driver.
  Especially the laptop manufacturers do not provide the latest versions and to look at other sites for the most recent version.

  According to your message, the phone supports an Intel 945 GM graphics card.
  Visit the Intel website and download the new chipset / graphic driver for this card.
