• Satellite A100-201 touchpad problems

  I searched through the forums and many people have had problems with the touchpad, but nobody seems to have quite the same problem, as I have! If this has been asked to answer also my apologies, but I can't!

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with a 'Tablet' (as described by the technique of the Toshiba product - no mention if it comes to Synaptics or Alps, or anything else, is not that it would mean anything for me anyway. It is certainly NOT a dual pad that turns on with the blue buttons, etc.)

  Have had the laptop for over a year, and I got it all the time I have a problem where 'sometimes' function on the touchpad scroll bar doesn't work, all on his own. Sometimes I turn on the computer and it works fine, sometimes not. The same goes for the service where you tap the top right of the button and the narrowings of the active window (don't know what this is called). There seems to be no reason for this, I find the scrolling feature really useful. The rest of the touchpad functions works very well.

  I don't know if it's to do with drivers as I am not computer-oriented (I can use one for day to day stuff, but that's all) or upgrades of windows as no one else mentioned on another thread.

  If anyone has any idea how I can:

  (a) turn back ON the scrolling feature and

  (b) set it so it is permanently under voltage I would be really grateful!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  do you have challenged yourself with synaptics/Alps touchpad Control Center / (whateveryourtouchpadsmanufactureris) and checked the settings?

  As far as I know are these touchpads really complicated when you use them, but * more * usable after setting the key to touch about the sensitivity options, etc...
  You can configure almost the entire touchpad area to adapt to your needs...

  Please, check the settings and make sure that your keyboard is configured correctly.

• Activation TV changes affect the Satellite A100-201 display resolution

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with graphics card intel 945 GM and whenever I have activate tv out (clone) the resolution on the laptop lcd is reduced. A box appears saying "If I do not answer within 15 seconds, then the setting will return", but it's not - the setting is applied without worrying.

  Change the setting back manually to the simple screen does not restore the previous screen resolution, I have to restore the system.

  Any ideas what's happening?

  I think that it s not a hardware problem, but only a bad setting in the properties of the graphics card.
  The properties of the graphics card and access the advanced option. On the general tab, you will find options for compatibility:
  You should choose the option: apply the new display settings without restarting

  In my opinion it should solve you problem ;)

  Hello my friend and report your results.

• Satellite A100-626 with Win7 - cannot install Bluetooth

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-626 and I recently installed Windows 7. I was able to install all the drivers except bluetooth!

  There is no bluetooth device in the Device Manager... There is no unknown device is... When I try to install Bluetooth Stack, I get an error message saying, plug in and press OK.

  I don't know what to do... Can anyone help? In XP bluetooth worked well and I have used so many times...

  Help, please.

  Prior to installing the BT software, you must activate the BT module.
  The principle is the same as for the earlier operating system: turn on the WLAN antenna and use the FN + F8 key combination.

  The question is: can you use FN + F8 key combination to activate the BT?

  Hi girl

  A friend of mine called me yesterday because he noticed the same issue. After awakening, he saw just a blue strip instead of the task bar and the screen was black.

  Only solution was to press the POWER button and hold for a few seconds. On this way, you make your laptop to SWITCH OFF. Laptop and press the power button again will start as usual. After reboot, everything will be OK again.

  Please do the same. If you have more problems to write again.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A100 - BIOS and Windows does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello, I extend my Satellite A100 laptop BIOS.

  After update, I can't start my laptop and the BIOS will not start.

  You see the Toshiba logo?

  Was there a power failure when you updated the BIOS?

  Try to remove the battery and the adapter and leave for a few hours. You can also try reinstalling the RAM.

  If this does not help, you will need to send it to a Service Center for repair.

• Updated by Satellite L300-1AQ and Win7 - a few questions

  Sorry will try this again as my original thread does not appear anywhere.

  I have a Satellite L300-1AQ and only got their hands on the disks to upgrade Toshiba Windows 7 - Vista Home Premium to Win 7 HP.

  Can I really use this to perform a new installation of Win 7 64 bit?

  That made the other disk in the pair actually? Is it fair pilots or it installs cr@pware too?

  Thank you.

  This is a very useful document for you > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P60000R01.htm

  You will get two discs: composite discs and upgrade.
  Start your laptop and place the composite disc and follow the on-screen menu. I think that you won't have more problems to understand how it works.

  New installation? I don't know if this will work but noted that after a new installation, you will not have the activation code valid and you'll probably version only 30 days. key down will not help you for regular activation.

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

  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 L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

  I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
  I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

  I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
  I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

  The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
  I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

  No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
  So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

  Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

  I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
  I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

  L750-201 satellite is part of the PSK6ME series.
  I wonder where you found the BIOS v3.60 for this device?
  The latest version of the BIOS seems to be v 2.80 - WIN

  

  So from my point of view you try update BIOS INCORRECT.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

  I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

  Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

  In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

  So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

  Thank you

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

  Could you please post this number and name?

  The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
  My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

  Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

  Check this box:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

  In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

• Lock screen Satellite A100-153 and Windows login problem?

  I installed Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1, everything worked fine, but when I updated the BIOS to 1.40 (WIN) at least once a day connection Windows crashes (I can move the mouse, but can't click on my username to type the password, alo TAB key does not work).

  Hello

  According to these document Toshiba BIOS FAQ update of the BIOS can be done with 2 different procedures:
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  It is possible that you have useed the wrong or bad BIOS BIOS update procedure.
  Well, it's not easy to say why the connection of the laptop freezes. The fact is that the Satellite A100 is a laptop very new and it comes with all service packs Microsoft (SP1 + Sp2). I don't know whether you have installed the device manually, but you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  I would recommend recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD and finally, you check to see if the connection problem.

• Satellite A210 - heating and BIOS update problem

  My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

  Cannot load the C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT driver. SYS.
  Please verify that your accounts, if you have no administrator privileges, please sign in again!
  Access is denied.
  Error code: 5

  I am the only user on the computer so I have administrator privileges and I don't know why this error is coming. Help, please. Thank you

  > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
  Hi mate

  I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
  A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

  After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

  Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

  PS: My BIOS is updated...
