Satellite A100-153 does support IrDA (infrared)?

Hi all
I recently bought a Toshiba A100-153. My problem is I don't seem to have an infrared connection and I find no infrared driver for this model that I can use.
When I go to Device Manager I don't see any device for IrDA. And if I go to the Control Panel, there is also no specific infrared configuration. But the manual says that this model A100-153 has an IR port, and I see the Port on the front of my laptop (Dummy!)
Is there a driver I'm missing or if IR is not supported with this model (even if it have Ir Port)?

Best regards

Hello

Check if Device Manager there is no entry of IrDA.
If support for laptop computer and IrDA port so it should appear in the Device Manager.

I downloaded a user manual and I found information that the port is provided only on some models.
Maybe you unit doesn t support this port.

I also found information that some units have been delivered with the remote control.
That's why the remote control uses the IrDA receiver window on the front of the laptop to communicate with the laptop. (It s not usual port IrDA window)

  • Is Satellite A100-233 does support Bluetooth?

    Hello
    I have the Satellite A100-233. Can I establish internal bluetooth adapter in this model?

    Thank you

    Hello

    All laptops with adapter BT have a BT tag at the bottom of the unit.
    If your device has no label of BT, so the BT adapter has not been installed.

    As recommended in the previous announcement, you can use an external solution as a USB BT's key. It is very easy to use.

    Hello

    It should be able to use the Ram 667 MHz module, but the difference between the 533 MHz and 667 MHz is not noticeable.
    I think the 533 MHz module is great and you are on the good side, if you use the modules to recommend Toshiba.

  • Satellite A100-153 is going on but then nothing happen

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite A100-153(PSAA9E-00D006GR) going on but then nothing!
    Nothing is displayed on the screen, no beeps, no flashing!

    I plugged with monitor external, thinking that the display was damaged but noway!
    I brought in an experienced friend who told me that it would be likely that the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600) has been damaged.
    Why not the CPU?

    Does anyone have any experience with such a model of Satellite with similar problem?

    Please help and thanks in advance

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem but I n t want to speculate what part could be affected
    Your friend said it could be a GPU (graphics card), but I think it's only a hypothesis and it could also be a CPU problem or card problem or mother or other material, a part

    I think that nobody will be abele to say what part failures without performing detailed diagnostic tests
    I think you agree with me

    What you can try to do is this short workaround:
    -Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
    -wait a bit (1 h >) and reconnect the two part
    -try to turn on the laptop

    If it does not, then, the unique physical part should be checked
    I think that this can be done by a technician laptop because these guys have had enough resources to run these tests

  • Satellite A100-153 starts only occasional

    Hello

    I have a big problem with my Satellite A100-153. It does not start regularly. When the laptop is turned off and I want to start again, I can press the button and the fan will also and it seems to start but the screen remains black. I can repeat this several times. When I have the chance to try it suddenly works and Notepad starts and I see "Toshiba" Logo
    I see no reason for this odd behavior. It may be that it works really well and then I do a restart and then failure appears. All of a sudden. Without changing anything same not the position of the laptop. It is really strange.

    My warranty went for years and so I don't know if I have to give it to a local repair service or if I should send it to Toshiba. Does anyone know how expensives who can get?

    I don't know where is the problem. The display becomes competely white/white stripes sometimes appear. So I think it could be the graphics card but it works as long as I get it to start. And I also watched inside the laptop and everything seems to be fine.

    Maybe someone can help me or give me advice on the service costs repair Toshiba in Germany.

  • Satellite A100-153: is my 64-bit processor?

    It's maybe a stupid question, but I'm not good with knowledge when it comes to material...

    I have the Satellite A100-153. It is the processor of Intel Centrino Duo T2300 1.66 GHz. So I want to know is my cpu 64 or 32-bit? Also, if it is 64 bits, what are the benefits of this type of CPU?

    Thank you!

    No, the generation of your Centrino has no EMT64 (64-bit). The next generation whose production began in March of this year is now 64-bit.
    The new CPU´s have a similar heart as the "Core 2 Duo".

    Thus, the benefits of the 64-bit are apparent, you have a wider bus which can process more data at the same time. And the treatment of the data at the same time average speed of treatment.

    But there is just one little problem: the driver support for 64-bit operating systems is not very good aren´t and there are a lot of programs for us end-users that are written in 64-bit. So we have to wait until software developers and manufacturers of chips are better than now.

    It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

  • Satellite A100 - 153 (PSAA9E) - how to update display drivers?

    Hello!
    I need a current display for my ATI Radeon Mobility X 1600 driver in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-153 PSAA9E.

    I can not install the Catalyst Control Center (and therefore the latest driver). It says to me "this driver is not compatible with your system. Contact the manufacturer.
    In the magnificent... download section are the only drivers of 2006 for my X 1600. Anyone know how I can install current drivers? Is it possible to avoid the 'blocking of Toshiba' for display drivers?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey Buddy!

    The display on the original ATI site driver is not designed for graphics cards for laptop and so that you can install t. In addition he doesn t have an overheating protection and therefore can damage your graphics card! It s on your own risk!
    If you want the ATI driver, you must use Mobility Modder. Then you can install it, but don t forget s about your risks and perils and you will lose the warranty.

    The drivers from the Web from Toshiba site definitely work for your laptop then why you want to install a different driver?

    Good luck!

    > My Satellite L500-19Z does support DDR3 memory?
    Say the user manual?
    Did you check that?

    The support of memory depends on the chipset.
    If the chipset does not support DDR3 so you cannot use it.
    The chipset is Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset and AFAIK that support DDR2 800 MHz 8 GB max memory chipset.

    I have the bluetooth Wizard thing on my computer, but it keeps telling me that it cannot find not all devices.
    My bluetooth is on and shown at all, so I don't know what im doing wrong.

    Do I have to download stuff?
    This computer no bluetooth in there?

    IM so confused so if you have ideas, please let me know.
    Ive tried to fix this for two days now and im starting to lose my patience.

    > This computer no Bluetooth in there?
    Your assumption is correct.

    This laptop does not support the BT module and so you cannot use it ;)
    If you can't find any BT label at the bottom of the unit and then the BT module has not been installed.

  • Satellite A100-232 does not start windows, but is stuck

    Hello

    I am having a serious problem with my old laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100).
    When I turn on the pc, it does not start the Windows but is stuck.
    If I press F2 to open the Bios, it seems not work while the works of F12 (select boot device), but it is impossible to start anything.

    I tried the following:

    1 removed, cleaned and replaced the RAM
    2. HARD drive removed and reconnected.
    3. check the HARD drive if it is damaged, but it is not.
    4A tried to boot from the Windows XP cd and install it but it crashes
    5A tried to boot from the cd with Linux, but it does not work.
    6. has created a Windows 98 flash drive to start, but it does not work.
    7 tried to clear CMOS by removing the battery, but I couldn't because he is stuck on MB.

    I visited a technisian but he couldn't fix it.
    He told me that the BIOS is corrupted or crashed. Maybe I should replace somehow.

    Is this possible?
    How?

    Thank you

    It is for the Satellite A105 (PSAA2U) Bios Update, you can test the file at your own risk.

    A text readme file is located in the folder, follow the instructions.
    Download the Bios file from the link and copy it to a USB key, go into you Bios and this flash file.

  • Satellite A100-383 does not - the battery is not

    Hi all

    I own a satellite A100-383 (PSAARE) that does not start when the battery is totally empty, or if I leave without the battery of the day to the next. The battery will charge not façade is and all the lights are off. I should always have a load on my battery and don't let not unplugged more than 2 days.

    If for some reason, my battery was completely empty, Plug and unplug the power supply from the wall outlet would make all the lights increase and charge the battery again.

    Unfortunately, I went on vacation and I forgot my pc unplugged and it does not charge or turn on. ? The headlights are off. Tried my dear old method to connect the unit several times with battery and without it with no luck... I could see a connection for a second or two, but I wasn't fast enough to plug in and they are off.

    I would be so grateful to you all if you give me a help to put it on my pc. Once I have it on the load and back I'll buy a new battery for sure.

    I look forward to reading your advice.

    Thank you all in advance!

  • Satellite L30-134 does support dual channel DDR2 memory

    Wojtek cordially

    Hello

    Of course, the Satellite L30-134 supports DDR2 memory modules.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

    I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

    The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

    If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

    If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
    If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
    If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

    As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
    But it will light if the battery is connected.

    The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
    If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

    I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!
