Satellite A100-188: BIOS downgrade - how?

Hello

first sorry for my bad English.
I have to update my bios from version 1.3 to 2.0. After that I have problems when I start the system.
toshibe says it's not possible to downgrade. in this forum I read that it is possible.
I read that in an Italian forum can I find help, but I Don t understand the Italian language.
the user in this forum 'alter_schwede' and 'fizzban' can help me. (in German).

When one of these 2 users read that please contact me. ICQ: 131260081
or by e-mail [email protected]

Hello

First of all, to my knowledge the BIOS downgrade is not possible.
Secondly, on the Toshiba page, I found only the latest BIOS (not the older versions).

In addition, on the Toshiba driver page, you will find 3 different models of Satellite A100.
AFAIK the A100-188 is a unit of PSAA9E.
Therefore, it is important that you used good BIOS and that it have updated with the proper procedure.
Bad BIOS and bad upgrade procedure may damage the motherboard or some problems with the functionality of the device.

I guess you used the wrong BIOS. In this case, you will need to contact the ASP from Toshiba for the return of the BIOS.
You might try updating again with the good BIOS.

  • Satellite A100-188: it is possible to install Windows Vista?

    I buy the Satellite A100-188 and use the laptop with Vista. is the laptop Vista Ready (all pilot them aviable?)

    Hello

    As you know the Microsoft Windows Vista is not official on the market and Toshiba doesn't provide laptops equipped with this OS.
    The fact is that, currently, no Toshiba drivers are available for Windows Vita.
    If you install Vista on the unit you will not be able to use the special features of Toshiba as FN, for example energy saving keys.

    As far as I know generally the Vista operating system needs to more then 256 MB of RAM and about 7 GB on the HARD disk

  • TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

    I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
    When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

    Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

    I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
    HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

    And now how I will:
    1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
    2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

    Please help me!
    .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

    Hello

    Don t worry buddy there is no virus
    The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

    First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

    Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
    These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

    You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

  • Satellite A100-369 - BIOS password was needed all of a sudden

    Hello world!
    I have a Satellite A100-369 psaare04m00dit. After a few tries to install windows 7, (sth has not worked since the restoration of DVD Toshiba) bios password was necessary.

    In fact, no password has been before and... have no idea what would be the password.
    Is there a way how can I reset the passwd for my s/n?
    I bought this laptop 4 years ago... Thank you!!!

    I use Toshiba laptop computers and, as far as I know, the BIOS password can be set only.
    BIOS password can be done via BIOS advanced or preinstalled Toshiba tools options.

    Has anyone access your laptop?

  • Re: Satellite A100-813 - BIOS reports inserted 3 GB but 4 GB

    Satellite A100-813
    Model No.: PSAA8E

    Recently, my laptop 2 GB memory @ 533 mhz were bad and I decided at this level to 4 GB and carried 2 x 2 GB @ 633 mhz.
    Though according to the instructions in the manual, it supports 4 GB maximum, but my bios shows/3 gb.

    My Windows 7 64 bit, shows 4 gb, but with 3 GB usable.
    Please if someone can help me get all the 4 GB, is there any problem with the highest FSB.

    I thought also of shared video memory, but when only 2 GB is inserted, the bios displays full 2 GB.

    The laptop supports Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset
    The chip supports the 4 GB of RAM.
    Then you should be able to use 4 GB

    What the BIOS update?
    Check this box

    With regard to the recognition of the Windows RAM:
    In msconfig.exe to go to the boot tab, click Advanced Options, make sure that the Maximum memory checkbox is unchecked

    "Unable to load driver.

    I turned off User Account Control (in fact it the first thing I did after installing Vista ;)).
    And just to be safe, I also tried to right click on the S10V600.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator".
    I was using the admin account.

    Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

  • 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:

    Have you checked this using Windows 64 bit OS?
    Fact is that the BIOS recognized the full 4 GB of RAM. The chipset seems to support the 4 GB RAM as well.
    If the BONE is the last reason why all of the 4 GB are not recognized.

    HM, it's unfortunate, but unfortunately, you will need to contact an authorized service center and ask them for help because they are the one and only who could probably help you with your problem.

    As far as I know, the BIOS must be something hard that cannot be revoked by typing certain codes that must be presented by toshiba in the Japan.
