Satellite A100-036 - disturbing noise from power supply

Hello!

I use Satellite A100-036. Lately, I've noticed a whistling top-height standard adapter Toshiba coming, sort of some fluorescent lamps do, only much quieter.

Yet, the adapter is on the table near the laptop, is disturbing. The character changes with the activity of the laptop (as the disk in use).

Should I be worried, or is it OK?
As I remember, there was no this sound when I bought it (2 years ago).

Thank you!

My adapter was defective. The cable broke and similar high-pitch whistles was so noticeable.
I replaced the adapter because as Akuma said already this device uses high voltage and shouldn't t serve if she s defective!

  • Satellite A100-TA9: failure of the power supply cord - where to get a new

    Recently my power cord has stopped working on my Satellite A100-TA9 system.
    My system warranty has expired and passes through 'Authorized support vendors' Toshiba was useless.

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement power cord?
    I live in Toronto, Canada.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > My system warranty has expired and passes through 'Authorized support vendors' Toshiba was useless
    I n think so.

    First of all, you know that a disassembly of the laptop is very delicate and not easy. ASP technicians have sufficient experience to perform this replacement with touch course. I mean you have no risk something would be accidentally damaged during disassembly procedure.

    Second, you must contact the local ASP to get a compatible power cord.
    I think you'd need a power cord which has been designed especially for the A100 series.
    Guys could order directly from Toshiba.

  • Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

    Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

    1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

    2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

    3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

    4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

    5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
    Could someone help me? Thank you.

    If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

    Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

    It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  • Increasing memory Satellite A100-036

    Hello!

    I would like to increase the memory of my Satellite A100-036 (psaan), as 1 GB appears to be insufficient to run Vista. The problem is, I can't know which would support my A100. Now I have 512 x 2 Samsung DDR2 (533). I'm sure than 1x2GB (DDR2, 533) would be OK, but what about more? Say, 2x2gb?

    First of all, I'm not sure if chip 1x2GB would be supported by my A100. Any ideas?

    Secondly, I read somewhere that 4 GB would be supported by my Intel 945 chipset, but there is no point in it I do not have a 64-bit, 32-bit only supported ca.3.2 GB operating system. If that's true, I would be able to install 1 GB + 2 GB (3 GB total) and use it effectively? Are there recommendations on the combination of different volumes of memory chips (such as 2 GB and 512 MB)? Maybe it is better to have similar in volume?

    And one more thing: don't know if the chipset supports the faster memory (more than 553). And can I combine 553 and sth faster?

    Seems a lot of questions, but I hope that someone could find some time and help me!

    Thank you!!!

    I don't know, but your machine must be able to handle a maximum memory expansion up to 2GB. If you install more then it may happen that the machine either does not or simply memory another beyond 2 GB could not properly acknowledged and your machine breaks down.

    But don t mix the different laptop series! Do not forget that you have chosen that good BIOS and the good Bios update procedure.

    Because after a few writings with the Vista DVD player 'kill' pilots and the DVD is unusable and tryes all to return to the job comes with message INCOMPATIBLE VERSION of the stupid Vista drivers.
    So the solution is to use the recovery DVDs Toshiba who cannot back up user files and folders!

  • Satellite A100-036 - label Microsoft OEM are broken

    Hello!

    Tag Microsoft OEM on my Satellite A100-036 (s/n 37059063Q) has been partially damaged, and I can't read product s/n (Windows Vista HB).

    How can I fix this label? Or I have to buy the new OS?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The serial key belongs to the Windows operating system which is part of the Toshiba recovery image.
    This means that, in most cases you cannot use it as part of other versions of Windows.
    Moreover Windows system which is part of the image is already enabled for this serial key is not really necessary
    If you don t have a recovery disk (maybe you forget to create it in the past) you could try to order it here: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
    But I don't very well if this would be possible because of the age of the computer laptop m

    In the case otherwise you need a Microsoft disk to install the Windows OS, but in this case, each Microsoft Windows disk is provided with own serial key

    looks like a hardware failure. Maybe a faulty display ups or something similar. I suggest you:

    Bring your machine to an authorized local ASP. They must correct this mistake and replace defective parts of your laptop.

  • Satellite A100-499 - AC adapt Compatible power more than 90W?

    Hello world

    I bought a new DDR module for my Satellite A100-499 and now I have better performance but my AC adapt power is not enough.

    So I'm looking for a new AC adapt power but I'm not sure which are compatible with my netbook. Now I have a 15V 6a (90W) + PA2521E-2AC3 PA-1900-22 + and I want one at least 100 w... Could someone tell me a compatible model?

    Perhaps PA3237U-3ACA + Toshiba 120 Watt Global AC adapter? (power supply is compatible?)

    Hello

    To be honest I don't understand the reason for this question. If you upgrade the RAM, why you want or need a new AC/DC adapter?

    You can switch to the maximum capacity of RAM that is supported by your laptop model but that's why it of not necessary to use an AC/DC adapter with more power. It is * not * make your laptop faster!

  • Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

    For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

    > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

    Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.
