• Updated graphics for a Satellite A100-163

  Hello
  I was wondering if it is possible to improve the graphics in the Toshibe Satellite A100-163. In the specifications of this Web site, it says it is connected by the new card PCI Express x 16 bus, this means that it is infact a graphics card in my laptop at a later date, I would be able to upgrade?
  Thank you for your help,
  M_Taylor40

  Well, the unit was delivered with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 128 MB.
  But generally, it is not possible to update the graphics card on the laptop.
  The graphics on laptops are all just different such as a card in the desktop PC.

• The screen on the Satellite A100-163 changed 180 degrees.

  The screen on my Satellite A100 - 163 has flipped 180 degrees. The cat sat on the keyboard, so I guess that a combination of keys it will sort! I tried ctrl-stift-r as suggested in a previous message, but nothing helped.

  Any suggestions?

  Hi Stephanie

  Please check the settings of graphics card. I put t know what graphics card your device but I noticed that the units with Intel graphics card have this office turn option and you can change it manually in the properties.

  Good bye

• Satellite L750 - low wireless signal

  I have a 5 day old L750 Satellite which can collect only 40% wireless signal less than 20cm from the router and loses signal total of about 2 m of him, turned to Toshiba support who suggested to the restoration of the system, did this and no improvement. Have you checked the Atheros driver and he said to his place to date, also checked the option to which has been suggested in other threads.

  The router is good because my vintage Compaq and ipad2 have full strength signal of several rooms by far.

  Please help as I'm pretty impressed with my first purchase of Toshiba and will return it if I can't solve this problem.

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem only with the Eco Mode setting or also with power plan to high performance? This means that you must define * Maximum Performance * power option for the WLAN card in terms of power.

  Next to the update of the WLAN driver, you should also check the BIOS version. Take a look at the page if there is a newer version and if so try to update from Toshiba:

• Satellite A100-163 - Win8 Ati Display Driver need

  Hi all!

  I can't find the display driver for windows 8 (last for Windows 7). I know that this laptop is old, but maybe its possible to get the same old driver supporting Windows 8?

  Windows 8 work perfect on Satellite A100 so much faster than XP. One problem in this driver.
  Maybe someone can make old driver capable of working on Windows 8?

  You are right. Laptop is too old and designed for Windows XP Home edition. Toshiba supports much more recent laptops than A100.

  I think you expect too much of this old piece of hardware. In my opinion, you should get Win7 32 bit working on it.

• Satellite A100-163: audio problem after installing Win XP - SOLUTION

  Hello

  I reinstalled Windows XP on this laptop Toshiba A100-163 and had a little trouble, but the hardest thing was the audio, so I thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else is trying to do!

  The drivers supplied by the Toshiba support site did not work. After a bit of research, it seems that the audio drivers are supposed to be integrated into Windows: "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio". But I don't it would work.

  The solution was to install XP Service Pack 3!
  I didn't not use Windows update, but instead downloaded and installed the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers. Then, after a restart, the Hardware Wizard found is come and properly installed audio drivers.

  Hope this helps someone!

• I can't finde the recovery of my Satellite A100-163 disc

  My A100 does not - can not find the recovery disk. Can I use my A60 on my A100 - 163 laptop recovery disk?

  Sorry, but you can t use disk recovery of the A60. It will not work.

  You can order a new Toshiba Recovery disk:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/

  Or you go to a FSA (authorized service provider) to get a new:

  You can also use an original disc from Microsoft, but here, you install all the drivers manual and time consuming.

• SD card does not work in on my Satellite A100-163 5-in-1 card reader

  Hello

  I recently bought a 1 GB SD card and tried to plug it into my A100-163 built-in 5-in-1 card reader. Nothing appears in my computer. I tried to go to the Device Manager and, under "drives" "Secure Digital Storage Device" with a bit of yellow! Select this option. I tried updating the driver Module SD, but whenever I do that the installer comes up with an error, basically saying he can find SD Secure Module.msi. He tries to find in a dark temp folder that involves me Installer is not extracted properly.

  Can someone help me read my SD card? Help, please!

  UPDATE: on the occasion of the strange, it appears in my computer as "Secure Digital Storage Device. When I double click on it, it says:

  "E:\ is not accessible. The request cannot be performed because of an i/o device error."

  Thank you.

  Mike.

  Hello Mike

  One thing confuses me. If the unit has the multi card reader factory settings must be configured correctly. You use your own installation of the OS?

  In any case, try to remove device from digital storage secure from Device Manager, then restart the device.

• On Satellite M70 low wireless signal

  I have a satellite m70. It worked very well with the excellent signal until yesterday.

  now, the signal dropped to very low levels. my wireless router is working fine (I checked with a friend)
  is my wireless card faulty? How will I know?

  Help, please...

  Hello

  This happens to you just on the mode of feeding with AC adapter or battery too? In any case has the power management of the WLAN card also at the highest level.

• Re: Satellite A100-163 - I low amount of RAM

  Ive just upgraded from 1 GB RAM to 4 GB of RAM on my laptop.

  I know that XP uses only 3.5 GB of RAM as max sound, but even im not seen that on memtest, I get around 3070 mb.
  The max RAM spec can use the laptop's RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)
  I've set to 4 GB of DDR2 667. The laptop it should reduce.

  I have integrated graphics 128, there up to 256 MB HyperMemory. That would be the reason for the amount of RAM below?

  Something that I find weird is that when I run dxdiag, it shows that graphic design has 512meg, ive no idea why he said that, when I run 3dmark05 stats he said meg 138

  Can someone help me on this on? But im stumpted?
  I have the latest drivers on the Tosh site, the only thing that seems a bit outdated is the graphics drivers, but I can't find anywhere that makes newer drivers for this laptop.

  Ive read remapping of the RAM, but there is no option in the BIOS to do this.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Hello!

  Don t forget that a 32 bit OS cannot handle 4GB of RAM

  Then maybe you should check this useful document from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  In my opinion, this link is very useful and it s a very good description on this subject.

• Satellite C660 - extremely low WIFI signal strength

  I bought a brand new 2 the Satellite C660-7 t and have the following problem:
  The strength of the WIFI signal is very bad!

  If I am 5 meters from the router, there is a signal strength bar!

  On another laptop, I have 5 bars at this distance!
  WLAN is unusable...

  The problem also occurs if the power supply is connected, is no energy problem.

  Installed the latest driver for Atheros, did not help.
  Made a recovery of HARD drive, did not help.

  Help, please!

  Have you checked all the WLAN settings?
  Did you compare the settings on another laptop?

  If possible can test you with another router?

• Satellite A100-259: low noise level

  I just bought an A100-259. that seems to have the reading levels of low level on all sounds. I turned all maximum devices but the level is still not sufficient on the speakers. The earphones are about right.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I found the details of the A100 and there should be installed virtual sound application.
  I recommend you to check the parameters in this application.
  Play around with these settings and try to change it.

  In addition you will also find a reltek affect his manager in the control panel.
  Here, you can also change the audio settings which are responsible for the sound quality of the speaker.

• Satellite A100-812: low CPU scores

  My A100-812 had serious problems.
  First of all, it doesn't seem to work without notebook cooler.

  But the reason why I'm here, it's that my Core Duo T2250 score only 3.4 of Vista Basic.
  According to a developer who is too low for this type and he suggests that it is a production error.

  I've already updated my BIOS and CPU drivers.

  Which is more expensive
  Ralph

  Hello

  Why do you think the Vista partition is too low?

  The Intel Dual - Core Mobile Processor T2250 supports 1733 MHz and 533 MHz FSB. But it does not support virtualization technology.
  I have a similar CPU that work with 1.7 Ghz (~ 1700 Mhz) and I've got a 3.6 Vista experience. This isn't a big difference

  But I wonder about this comment;
  > First of all, it doesn't seem to work without a laptop cooler.

  What do you mean exactly? Do you mean that your laptop is overheating?

  In this case, I assume that the CPU does not work with maximum performance to avoid a higher internal temperature
  In your case, I would check if the cooling modules are not blocked and so dust and debris preventing the cooling fans.

• Satellite A100 - very low speaker volume

  Hello

  Recently, the volume of my speaker has been very low - barely audible.
  The speakers are Realtek High definition.

  The volume is set at 100%. I checked the properties of reading, recording and sounds and they all work very well.
  The problem occurs if I play CDs, videos online or applications such as RealPlayer - anything really.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Gary

  Hello

  I guess you are which means that the sound card (it s Realtek High definition) and not speakers ;)
  However, have you checked the settings in the control panel-> Manager Realtek HD?

  Do it! There are a lot of different parameters that control the quality of the sound and there you can assign different audio effects

  I think you should check this certainly!

• Satellite A100-014: connection Wireless D-link router problem

  I think that it is working properly. I keep getting kicked from WLAN (connected to the dlink DWL 900AP), but if I plug the Ethernet cable it works very well.

  This vista software is a major pain. It will let me install the d-link software.

  Does anyone have any knowledge about it?

  If you need the d-link software you must ask the manufacturing of router for these updates or visit the support site for manufacturing.

  What WLan encryption are you using? I used WPA2 and I had similar problems.
  My router and the wireless network card were not 100% compatible with this encryption.

  Now I use the WPA or WEP and it works.
