• For Portege 3490 AC adapter does not work with the Satellite A100-159

  I have a supply of 15V 120W car (or plane Kensington). It works very well with a Portege 3490CT. It doesn't do a thing with my Satellite A100-159 new. The power supply provides also 15 V 6 a. Can someone tell me why the Kensington work?

  Or does anyone have a diagram to a power supply adapted myself, preference of 11, 5-14, 12(4) and 24 VDC (23-28: 8)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I can give t you an answer why it does not work but usually you need to use the adapter for vehicle recommended by Toshiba. Incorrect adapter may damage the laptop!
  I think that the card for Portege 3490 adapter is not compatible with Satellite A100

  That the two car/truck/Air 120W laptop charger must be compatible:
  PX1237E-1NPO
  PX1235E-1NPO

• Satellite A100-159 - FAN is always on

  Hello
  I bought Satellite A100 159 with T2500 and Radeon x 1600.
  Fan is always on. I've updated the bios and it did not help. What is more, when I put the driver ATI PowerPlay to use and when the battery is low, I get only a few scratches on the desk and the computer restarts. Windows indicates that there is problem with unknown driver.
  What can I do to stop the FAN - my CPU temperature is 28-31 cellsius and the frequency is always set to 2000 MHz (everest watch 1995 MHz).
  I think that, this fan should not run while the temperature is so low. My old centrino almost always has 40 to 50 degrees and the fan is always disabled.
  What can I do more to make the fan only works when the temperature is above 40 degrees?

  Kind regards

  I should add that my old Acer TM 4502 with Centrino has SpeedStep that makes of changing speed from 500 MHz to 1600 MHz CPU. I would like to do with my new Satellite - it might help with the problem of fan. If I change the speed of the CPU that the temperature will be lower and the fan does not spin all the time.
  I noticed that the fan is stopped when I start the computer in the morning when it is cool. After windows starts when rizes temp fan starts and doesn't stop.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The Toshiba power saver is responsible for the processor and the fan controlling.
  Please open the energy saving mode you are using, choose the menu Basic tab and change the option method of cooling to a lower level. In addition, you can change the method of control of the CPU to auto.
  This procedure should allow to change the use of the fan.

• Re: Cannot install Win7 driver display for Satellite A100-159

  Hello world

  I have a problem with my old laptop satellite a100-159. I still use it as a second computer. Given that the display drivers for windows 7 are available at toshiba, I decided to update the laptop from XP to 7. After the update, I downloaded the display driver for win 7 (http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/display-20091109135931.zip)

  But here's the problem: when I unzip the file, the file "tinstall.exe" does not work. It comes to the .exe file that needs to install the driver. I also had the message "this program could not have installed correctly". As of the present results, I'm looking to 1024 x 768 while the resolution is 1280 x 800.

  Any suggestions for me? I know that the laptop is old, but that the correct display driver, it is rather useless.

  Jeroen

  Please try to run the install using setup.exe.

• Satellite A100-159: expansion of memory RAM problem

  Hello

  I have a satellite A100-159. I want to increase the RAM to 2 GB. I checked the type of memory that is supported by the laptop and ordered two modules PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB of the brand 'Buffalo '. I have after installing the memory and the laptop starts fine (and detects the 2 GB of RAM). However, Windows XP always freezes after login. I reinstalled the original modules and everything works well again.

  After that, I installed both modules in other non-Toshiba laptop and here they work perfectly. I know that Toshiba recommends using some partnumbers, but if the modules work fine in another laptop computer why it does not work in the A100?

  Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing people to buy expensive pieces, I will never buy a Toshiba again...

  Secondly, is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)?

  Kind regards
  Martijn

  Hello

  > is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)

  Yes, it should be possible to use the modules of 667 MHz, but generally, they should be more expensive than 533 MHz modules. Of course, modules WITHOUT name are always less expensive than brand Kingston or Toshiba memory modules.

  > Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing
  > people to buy expensive pieces I will never buy a Toshiba again.

  Don t think that they will be forcing anyone to buy expensive parts. but as already said, the brand modules cost more expensive form of low quality modules. The performance of these modules is poor. If you want you can read some computer magazines and find the tests.
  They compare the performance of simple modules. So for me it makes no sense to buy a module without name of 667 MHz because for most a brand module 533 MHz is faster and better as module 667 MHz without a name.

  I use Kingston modules in my laptop satellite and I'm happy.
  Found this site with compatible memory modules for your laptop:

• Satellite A100-159 and Motorola Bluetooth Headset HS815

  Hello
  I can not connect the headset bluetooth Motorola HS815 portable satellite A100-159.
  I disable MS bluetooth and installed the latest Toshiba Bluetooth Stack V4.00.36.
  It's my internal bluetooth device from toshiba:
  077B = "internal Bluetooth CSR (19.2) v2.0 EDR.

  (1) I turn on the headset HS815
  (2) the Bluetooth manager sees a device, opening a pop-up windows where says "authentication failed", indicates the MAC ADDRESS of the helmet and ask me for the PIN.
  (3) I type in the PIN code "0000" default, but nothing happens!
  the HS815 is not connected,
  the Bluetooth Manager doesn't list any any device.

  It is:
  This Motorola HS815 headset is compatible with the bluetooth Satellite A100-159 card?

  Thanks a million in advance
  Filippo

  The error message indicates that something was wrong during the pairing process.
  This is silly, but important questions.
  Are you sure you have connected your headset and no other in the range? Really, the PIN is "0000" and you tyed in properly (maybe caps lock was on to your keyboard and something else has in fact been registered)?
  Delete all pairing if it exists, and then try again.

• Using the Satellite A100 without battery

  My laptop Satellite A100, the battery is almost dead. Is it bad to use the computer like this?
  Should I remove the battery and use the computer? When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.

  Thank you

  > Should I remove the battery and use the computer?
  You can do it if you want
  > When using on current alternative computer runs slowly when the battery does not work.
  Performance laptop has nothing to do with food but with parameters.
  I don't know what operating system you use, but if you have Vista, you can switch between the different profiles and each of them has different performance level.
  If you use it for normal work set for the balanced profile. If you require full performance of high power Performance set plan.

  You can remove the battery and continue using your laptop as usual.

• Cursor duplicate in Word while scrolling on Satellite A100-159

  I have a satellite A100-159. I have the following problem: in Word the cursor happens sometimes while scrolling. This means that during the scrolling I see two sliders that is 'left behind' and a real cursor (when I use PG. prev or PAGE down or box that disappears the cursor "left behind"). I already reinstalled Word and in other applications it doesn't seem to be a problem (but I have to say that I use the Word most, with large documents).

  Any ideas to solve the problem?

  Best regards, Eddy

  I think that happens because of fast scrolling of large, long word documents.
  Unfortunately, I think it's a matter of Word and there is nothing to do.
  But you suggested that happens sometimes, and only in Word so I think that it s a big problem.

• 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 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!

• Satellite A100-383 does not start - not battery

  Hello.

  I have an old Toshiba Satellite A100 - 383.
  Recent months its battery will remain as defendant for 20-25 minutes.

  OK, that's an old laptop, it's normal, I thought... I connected the laptop to the grid and I haven´t you have any problem. I stayed several hours with the laptop with no problems.

  But yerstarday, the laptop was closed suddenly and now, do not start. I see that the battery symbol flashes 11 times.

  So I have a few questions:

  1 - this laptop, works not connected to the network * without * battery? I thought it was possible...

  2 - What is the problem? Battery? Charger? How I know this?

  3-If the problem is the battery, how much would a new?

  Thank you very much. (and sorry for my English).

  > But, yesterday, the laptop was closed suddenly and now, do not start. I see that the battery symbol flashes 11 times.

  Usually the laptop automatically stops due to high temperatures. Is the kind of physical protection, but after a few minutes, you should be able to turn on the device, the led flashing could mean that there is a problem with the electronic power supply on the motherboard means that the motherboard is affected.

  You can try after bypass. :
  Remove the dough (if it is not already removed), unplug the AC adapter, press the power button / stop for 30 seconds.
  Now, plug in the AC adapter and try to turn on the unit.

  > 1 - this laptop, works not connected to the network without battery? I thought it was possible...
  Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop without the battery.

  > 2 - what is the problem? Battery? Charger? How I know this?
  Not easy to say: If the laptop powers not even using the power adapter, a power adapter or the motherboard might not work. If the two parties must be verified by the technician.

  > 3 - If the problem is the battery, how much would a new?
  Don t think that its battery from the laptop should run with adapter only

• Satellite M70-340 battery not charging

  I had a problem with a Toshiba Satellite M70 - 340 portable hard drive, but everything else worked perfectly, and it was possible to operate on battery power. So I sent it to a maintenance shop where they changed the hard drive and installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP. Once I got it I found that I am not able to turn it back on, except when it is connected to electricity and after a little or looking around, I found out that the battery is not.

  In addition to this, when I plug first laptop for electricity while it is turned off, the yellow/orange battery LED lights only for like 3 seconds. And even if it is activated, the led is still off, and the the battery icon on the status bar indicates that the laptop works on AC and does not say that the battery charge, he repeats to me 1%.

  I also tried leaving it plugged to AC while it is off, hoping he can recharge, but I bite the dust.

  So what would cause the battery won't charge if from one day to another (and just by changing the HARD drive and install a fresh copy of windows XP), the battery has stopped working?

  And I was just wondering is an update of the BIOS or your driver fix? I want to say a battery need some kind of driver or software to run?

  Thank you

  Hello Zaher

  I have Satellite M70-159 and issue described is not known to me. If you are sure that this strange issue started after get it back you with 100% service I recommend you speak again with technicians.

  Behavior described is not really normal. As much I know BIOS update or drivers have no influence on it and to me it sounds like a malfunction of the equipment.

  BTW: remove the battery, connect the laptop to the power adapter and start Notepad. When the operating system starts correctly, wait a few minutes and put the battery in the laptop. Please let know us what happens when you do this.

• Satellite A100: Dead battery + Random closures

  Hello everyone

  I'm having some trouble with my Satellite A100 after taking in a service center and I hope you can help.

  One of the brackets holding the button broke on my laptop so I took it to a service center to replace. Once I come back the laptop I noticed that the battery was completely dead and that my laptop stops after about 20 minutes of playing any kind of video game. I thought that the judgments must be an overheating problem, so I cleaned the fan with compressed gas however it made no difference. What is strange about closures, it is that the fan does not work at high speed until the computer shuts down, and according to a temperature probe, I downloaded that the internal temperature is not greater than 55 degrees. I tried my friend's battery in my Toshiba and it worked, so I know that it's just a dead battery and not a motherboard problem, but I mention that the two problems occurred at the same time and in some sort could be related. I have no idea what is the problem and I can't take to service center because I am currently a student in Finland and cannot afford to be without my laptop for a week.

  Thank you for your help.

  Ned.

  Update: I just upgraded my BIOS from 2.0 to 5.1 and had a mistake on the first boot: 0251: checksum CMOS bad system - default configuration used
  I hit F2 paged through the BIOS settings, then straightened and everything was fine. Should I worry about the error? Or is it normal for the first start after an upgrade?

  Hello

  1.) judgment of problems:
  I'm a bit confused of m.
  Was the laptop connected to the power adapter when the bottom is closed?
  You said you used another battery for laptop you and it worked. So in my opinion, there is a problem with your battery
  Try to replace and check if it works

  (2.) the system CMOS checksum bad:
  It s nothing unusual. The same thing happened to me after that the BIOS updated. I simply set the BIOS settings by default and everything was fine
  Don t worry

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

  Hello

  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.
