Satellite A100-153 - Notebook starts only

• 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 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 (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!

• Unknown device on the Satellite A100-153, after BIOS update to 5.1

  ACPI\TOS1901 * TOS1901<--- this="" is="" the="" unknown="" device="" after="" bios="" update="" to="" 5.10="" on="" my="" satellite="" a100-153="">

  Vista now shows it in as unknown device manager; the TOS1900 showed up too, but after installation of Toshiba Value Pack for Vista, it went.

  Help, please. WHICH IS: ACPI\TOS1901 * TOS1901

  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  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: 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.

• Satellite A100 will not start

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-151, which does not start.

  A batery 11 times blink when I press the a/c power and nothing happens.
  Before that, I pressed too many keys f1 - f12 because it has stopped responding and a blue screen (memory error in the kernel) appeared.

  I tried:
  out/HDD, memory slot, battery and tried also reset with the AC button pressed without the battery.
  Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.

  Best regards

  As you know on this virtual path is not easy to say what the problem is here, but after reading your ad, I think there must be a problem with electronic control gear. It is placed on the motherboard.

  Problem is that work around is quite limited and I can see what you have already tried all the logical steps to check if computer laptop will be able to start on a path.

  I'm afraid it is worth noting that you can do except to communicate with the service of Toshiba and ask help from m.

• Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

  So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
  Or could it be that the card is broken?

  Hello.

  For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
  Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
  Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

  If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

  That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

• Satellite A100-153: Adobe Premiere blocks - BSOD

  Hello
  As a result of this topic on the A100 and creation: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=16384

  I want to fix this problem on my girlfriend's cell phone.
  We have all two models Toshiba A100 (she has an A100-153 and I model A100-169).
  Plug seems to be exactly the same apart from graphics cards (she has a Radeon X 1600 and I have a Radeon X 1400).

  On my A100, factory Adobe Premiere Pro (version 7) perfectly but on hers, it crashes after the installation/reboot with a BSOD (blue screen of death), when you try to start the program.
  If she is actually having the same problem as helium on the post, I just mentioned above.

  She has the latest drivers for everything and I've even updated BIOS today to see if it would change anything.
  The funny thing is, we have the same sound card (with the latest driver from Realtek 5.10.0.5200) and in the post I mentioned, the problem came from the driver for the sound card, that was too old or something.

  Anyone know what it could be?

  Here's what the BSOD displayed on his own:
  "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL".
  then lower

  STOP: 0X00000001 (0 X 0, 00000000 00000028, 0XAAC37FCD)
  RtkHDaud.sys - address AAC37FCDCD base at AABF3000, datastamp 439944e5 ".

  So it seems that it has something to do with the sound card, but why? We seem to have the same sound card drivers and patterns of sound card (and mine works)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Hello

  Nobody's telling you why Adobe Premiere software is not compatible with some card drivers his apart first to Adobe programmers.
  In any case, it seems that this problem occurs because of the sound card driver and the new version will solve this problem.
  It s weird that this happens on a laptop and the other is working correctly.

  However, according to the description in the section you suggested earlier versions of this driver can not solve this problem. Make sure you download the version of the installer R1.33 or later, and the version of the driver installed is 5.10.0.5229 or later.

  On your laptop the friends 5.10.0.5200 of the Realtek driver version.

  You should just follow the guideline on the proposed page and you will solve this problem.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 - 521 RAM upgrade only works with original RAM in place

  I am trying to upgrade the memory to 2 GB, as described in the user manual.

  The computer does not start with the two new modules inserted. It will start with 1 GB installed in each slot until the original 256 MB module is inserted in the drive on the right, but does not work when the two 1 GB modules are inserted. There are 2 slots and the maximum is 2 GB for this computer. It told me to update the BIOS that I have on this site, but did not work.

  I am currently using 1 modules of 1 GB and 256 MB provided with the computer module. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-521.

  Concerning

  Lucy x

  Hello!

  The two new modules have the same specifications as the old module?

  In my opinion, the new modules are perhaps not fully compatible with your laptop or are not compatible in Dual Channel mode.
  What is the exact label of the two modules?

  For the upgrade, you need DDR2-533 modules. I searched a bit using Google and the reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
  Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
  It works well

  I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
  I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

  I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
  But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

  I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

  I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

  Any ideas guys?

  Thank you.

  I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

  If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

  But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

• 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
  Andra ©

  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)

• Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

  Hey guys.

  I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

  Now, I have the following two issues:

  (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

  (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

  Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

  Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

  If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

  Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
  Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
  Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

• Satellite A100 does not start - no action

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, which does nothing. He went flat when he was asleep, and a few minutes later I plugged it and when I press the power button / nothing happens. I do not show that the battery recharges in illuminating the charging light. The power button does not illuminate.

  If I hold the power button for a long period of time, a few lights.
  The caps lock light. Light under F10 and F11 and wireless internet light keeps coming back even if it is disabled.
  Battery light comes on a few times, but it is wider than on.

  My thoughts are that power don't is not computer (I think than lights that come on are those who come usually on after you press the power button) I'll try and the hand to get on another charger to try but snacks that don't work there at - it suggestions?

  DESPERATE isn't my computer!
  CJ15

  Hmm can be a motherboard problem.

  Try reinstalling the memory and battery and see how it goes. If not, send it to an ASP for a quote.
