Satellite A100-159: firewire with shared IRQ controller no?

Hello
I work with audio production. I have to buy a laptop with a TEXAS INSTRUMENTS
fire - wire with no shared IRQ controller. Do you know if the Toshiba Satellite A100-159 has this feature?
If not, what else can I take?
Is there a technical consultant on this subject?

Thank you for your time and courtesy

Good bye
Umberto

Hello

I found information that the Satellite A100-159 uses a Texas Instruments firewire.
In Device Manager, you should find this entry:

IEEE 1394 compatible Texas Instruments OHCI host controller

I hope that this information will help you

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A100 - need Vista 64bits Mass Storage Controller & TOS1901 driver

    I have a notebook "Toshiba Satellite A100-049" who has the ability to support 4 GB memory (but which came with 2 GB) and I'm unable to find some drivers for it on the site Web of Tosiba. I put a second hard drive in the laptop (although far from my normal 32 bit Vista installation) and test Windows 7 64 bit. I currently have 2 GB of memory. I have most of the drivers, but need:

    * Mass Storage Controller
    * Unknown Device - TOS1901
    * According to the "Action Center", I also need to install "Intel Management Engine Interface". I suspect this is related to the mass storage controller.

    I searched the Intel site but without knowing which chipset etc... my laptop uses, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

    When I installed Vista 32 bit, I had to install the package of value-added and supervisor password utility.
    The problem is while I managed to find a value-added Package 64-bit I can't find a Supervisor Password Utility 64-bit.

    I understand "Unknown Device - TOS1901" supervisor password average Utility.

    Where can I find drivers for 64-bit for this and also the mass storage controller?
    Even if they are for another model (but fine installation).

    Thank you

    PS - If I can't find the drivers I'll send a letter of complaint from Toshiba to sell a laptop capable of 4 GB of memory but absolutely no way to actually do this. Response from Toshiba a while ago (when I asked) had to settle for 3 GB on 32-bit Windows. It is not really satisfactory to lose 25% of your memory.
    That was before I had installed 64-Bit Windows.

    Hi Brad

    As you can see here, nobody can offer the correct answer. Problem is that this model of laptop is not supported for Vista 64-bit and you will be unable to find the Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities that are designed or tested with your model of laptop.

    Maybe you can try to install the other laptop satellite model tools, but there is no guarantee that it will work properly.
    Sorry :(

    Maybe you should use 32-bit Vista support

  • Is satellite A100-797 - compatible with Windows 7?

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-797 and want to upgrade to Windows 7, it will be available. When I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it shows me a few errors that make the upgrade is not possible.

    The following devices are incompatible with Windows 7, the Upgrade Advisor:
    -ACPI Bluetooth
    -Bluetooth RFBUS
    -Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller

    If I understand correctly, after upgrading to Windows 7 Blueooth and the card reader will not work. I searched the net for updates of pilot, but did not find any.

    Can someone please tell me if there is a Windows 7 compatible driver available for these devices and if not, when they do? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Most computers mobile new generation are compatible with Windows 7.
    The hardware components are strong enough to get Win 7 smoothly.

    If you can install Windows 7, but the question is if Win 7 drivers for A100 will be published on the page of Toshiba.
    Maybe maybe not. We'll see
    If you won't find Win 7 drivers on the page then you will have to search for the drivers on different websites and will have to collect the drivers with your own hands

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100 - no sound with Windows XP Pro SP3

    Hello

    I'm the reconstruction of a laptop Toshiba A100-PSAA9A-10U038 with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP3.

    At this point, I have not all sounds (Yes, the volume is set to the top).

    As this is my first post I covered I hope that most of the bases as with SP3 and I installed all the updates available from Toshiba and Microsoft - well at least, I guess I have. I downloaded the latest updates from Realtek who advised in a general forum but no luck.

    Device Manager tells me that there are problems with a "PCI Device" and a "unknown device", and I assume that one of these two is the culprit.

    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Hi mate

    I think that you have installed the driver of his evil.
    See this page:
    http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A100/psaa9a-10u038/download?OS=22

    you will find all of the Win XP drivers for this model of laptop.
    As you can see there are two different Realtek drivers:
    V Realtek Audio Driver 5.10.0.5253
    -Realtek ALC861 Audio Driver 5.10.0.5200

    To my knowledge, you have the Realtek HD audio Manager.
    But before install you the audio driver SP3 must be installed, it seems, that you did
    However, the most recent audio Realtek driver can be downloaded from the Realtek page directly.
    Select this check box, and then choose Manager Realtek HD audio for Win XP.

    Should work.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA8): need driver for video controller

    Hello

    I bought a new Satellite A100 (PSAA8) and re-installed Windows XP Pro. I downloaded some drivers including Intel Display Driver and Flash Media Driver, etc. from the web and installed. But I can't find the driver for video controller, so I still have the questionmark beside the video controller in Device Manager. Do you know what kind of driver he is? Where I can download for the video controller & what driver?

    Thank you
    Rona

    Hello

    HE = display driver or graphic driver video driver. All of this means the same thing.
    The suggested site, you will find the driver. Please remember to use the correct driver, because there are different units A100.
    I checked this pilot site and it seems that the most recent display at the moment driver is 14.18.2.4436 version

  • Satellite A100 - 376 PSAARE with Vista: PC Diagnostic displays a white screen

    Model: PSAARE-03501CTP (Satellite A100-376 with Vista Home Premium)

    PC diagnosis (ver 4.00.00) tests worked well even after the update for Value Added Package 1.0.25. This week, I reinstalled the system with the recovery CD and later updated the PPV of the original 1.0.10 for updating version 1.0.25 just as I did before.

    Now the 'Basic Information' tab always displays information as before but the "Diagnostic Tool" tab is empty and nothing can be put to the test.

    I saw another forum of discussion of Toshiba on this same problem without solution. I really expect to have a different answer to "reinstall the system with the recovery CD!

    Thank you

    Fernando

    Hello

    in this case, you unfortunately wait until toshiba releases a new PPV for this computer because there are times that a software update can have benefits and errors. It s all the same with as developers of software to the Japan and who is not only with toshiba.

    On the other side: why do you need the tool of "diagnosis"? I have 5 machines from toshiba, one of them has more than 7 years and I´d never used this tool.
    I use tools well real as the "Ultimate Boot CD" or "UBCD4Win" which have even better tools and software to check your hardware on errors. And they are free. :)

    Wireless authentication failed because of a time-out.
    My laptop and the router configured properly! I installed the new drivers intel 3945ABG chip.
    WPA2-PSK and WEP are working very well.

    Hello

    The same thing happened on my old laptop.
    I was not able to establish the WiFi connection for more than 1 min with WPA encryption.
    I downloaded the latest Atheros driver and updated everything.
    Everything works very well with WEP but not WPA.

    Then I disabled the option to clean Windows configuration and use the Atheros utility. Now everything works fine!
    I recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all the possible settings!

  • Very good work for Satellite A100-207 equipped with a graphics card

    Hello world

    most people know that graphical embedded or the graphic fight shared with high-end gaming. Well I'm pretty much playing pro Evo Soccer 6 on my pc at home with an old Prophet 3d geforce card. Now, imagine my surprise to play on my intel A100-207 standard work.

    It was far less detailed, but when I plugged an external monitor to the laptop even better.
    Don't know why, but this game shouldn't turn it on at all.
    I am very happy with the model indeed.

    It's nice

    Hello

    I can only confirm your suggestion. I have another laptop Satellite but it also supports a shared memory graphics card. Many games run properly on it. Of course, I have to change the level of graphical detail at a lower stage, but it works.

    I think that sheared memory cards are not really bad. Many applications heavy performance (games) run correctly, but with a little lower graphic details.
