Satellite A100-201: stop question

I am new to Toshiba laptops and just bought an A100-201 (Windows XP MCE)

When I turn off using start, shut down the computer, Turn Off, the system closes its doors to a black screen but the ' market' blue lights.

Is - this exact - it seems to me that it is always powered?

Hi Bob

When you check the sign system side in front of your laptop it is placed ON / OFF light (one on the left side). When the laptop is turned off this fire must be permanently CLOSED.

Can you please describe what happens with this (LED) light when you turn the power off?

  • Satellite A100-201 and Win7 update

    Hello

    I want to install Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop (Satellite A100-201). I ran the upgrade of Windows tool that tells me that my Toshiba Configfree (version 5.90.07) will have to be uninstalled before upgrade and that it would not be able to be reinstalled after installing Windows 7... What is the Configfree, do I need for my laptop to do something 'special '?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    ConfigFree is tool designed by Toshiba and it's an interesting tool for monitoring the network. This tool runs in the background and send you all the information about the network connectivity. If there is a problem this tool offers solutions that can help you fix connectivity LAN/WLAN/BT.

    To be honest you do not have this tool and if you didn't use it in the past you will he miss any.

  • 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 ;)

  • Satellite A100-914 - stop after 10 minutes on

    Satellite A100-914 - Vista Home 32-bit edition

    For some time, whenever I turn on the computer it off after 10 minutes. Usually I restarted and then everything was ok, but these days, it seems to stop several times.

    In my screen displays the blue screen saying on: driver_power_state_failure...

    I've updated to Vista, a patch which should solve this problem, but the problem of still images.

    I have also updated the Bios of Toshiba, and then I get a Warner 0251 checksum bad - default configuration used.

    I also have problems with superfetch and search for host when I connect to the internet... but it is perhaps another question...

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What to say...

    Regarding the automatically close downs;
    For me, it looks a bit like overheating. Maybe you should check if the temperature is not too high and check if the cooling modules are working properly and it can cool the laptop properly. Sometimes the dust inside the laptop could have a bad influence on cooling.

    Regarding the system BIOS checksum bad - default configuration used:
    Try to access the BIOS and set the default BIOS settings. Then save the changes and restart the laptop.

    Regarding the MS patch:
    I found this Microsoft Knowledgebase document:
    The STOP Error Messages troubleshooting 0x0000009F DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/246243

    It is said that this problem occurs when drivers do not properly handle power state transition requests.
    The error message most often occurs during one of the following actions:
    -Closing
    -Suspension or out of standby mode
    -Suspension or out of hibernation

    Check solution proposals in the document of Microsoft.
    If this does not help, I guess it's a hardware problem and you will need to contact the ASP in your country.

    Good luck

  • Upgrade Satellite A100-200 RAM question

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-200, I want to move to 4 GB.
    I install 2 x 2 GB kingston kvr667d2s5/2 GB pc-5300 ddr2 667 mhz.

    Every time I make a control sites Internet it tells me to install PC24200 ddr2 533.
    The above will work even as the 4200 ddr2 533hz as those that I want are a lot cheaper.
    Thank you.

    Will be two sets of ram pergorm exactly the same thing as long as they are paired.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It depends on your bus (FSB) front.
    If the modules of 667 Mhz FSB support 667 Mhz then the PC5300 inserted will be run with maximum efficiency (667 Mhz).

    But if supports FSB, only modules of 533 Mhz and RAM will run at 533 Mhz only even using the fastest modules (PC5300)

    So what you need to do is check the FSB value. You can install a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition) to verify the FSB.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100 - a few questions about Win 7

    Hello!

    I need help or advice.

    I intend to add memory and then intall Windows 7 on my Satellite A100

    1. I want to install two DDR2 SO-DIMMS of 2 GB. Can you confirm that my A100 will see 2 strips of memory 2 GB (4 GB together)?
    2. I think that my computer can only work with windows 7 32 bit, I'm good?
    3. I found drivers for windows 7 32 bit on the Toshiba site. So, in theory, it is quite possible.

    But has that that already installed windows 7 on individual A100? I would like to know the results.

    Thank you.
    Nastya

    > 1. I want to install two DDR2 SO-DIMMS of 2 GB. Can you confirm that my A100 will see 2 strips of memory 2 GB (4 GB together)?
    It depends on the chipset which is available on the motherboard.
    For example; the A100 with Intel 945 PM Express chipset would be able to handle 4 GB of RAM.

    > 2. I think my computer can only work with windows 7 32 bit, I'm good?
    No, you can also use 64 bit OS\

    > 3. I found drivers for windows 7 32 bit on the Toshiba site. So, in theory, it is quite possible.
    You can install Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit 32 bit and 64 bit drivers that you need to look in your own hands

  • Satellite A100-049 stops loading at the Windows loading screen

    Unless I opened fully open/almost completely the cover on my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 it will always freeze on screen Toshiba Logo black (first one you see). She has completed half of the blue progress bar that runs along the bottom of the screen. I need and then turn off the button and once again, it becomes work.

    The laptop is only 2 weeks old nine. It's especially annoying since it prevents a scheduled backup to wake the portable computer from Hibernation. I have to leave it on or leave the lid open permanently.

    Help?

    It seems that the title has been changed from the one I posted, nothing wrong with that, but it is no longer accurate. It keeps loading the Windows loading screen, it freezes "before" that date. The Toshiba Logo POST screen, very first, you see when you turn on the laptop.

    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.

  • Satellite A100-998: several question mark in Device Manager

    Hello.

    I hope someone can help me. I recently bought a 2nd hand A100-998. When I boot it I have several '' mark points '' on various points: Ethernet controller, mass storage controller, network controller, sm bus controller and video controller (vga compatiable).

    I also have a message once the machine starts who says: the ATI Control Panel could not initialize because no ATI driver is installed, or the ATI driver does not work correctly. The ATI Control Panel will now stop.

    The computer also says its new hardware found (all the controller ethernet etc.) but
    I have no disc driver for these and can't find.

    I think the problem is that my restore disk on a windows XP Home Edition, and it seems that the system must be windows media edition. Y at - there someone out there who knows what I can do or any other solution to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hi David

    All this yellow question mark appear due to lack and not installed drivers.
    You must install all the drivers compatible and available, and you will get rid of all these issues.

    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find all drivers XP for PSAA9E A100. Your A100-998 is one of the PSAA9E series then visit the page of European driver of Toshiba and download all the available drivers and tools.

    In addition, you should take a look in the installation instructions document. This document tells you the right installation order!
    The order of installation of good pilots is important and necessary.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100-784 stops every 2-3 hours

    My laptop stops every 2-3 hours.
    I checked the battery and power cord - it was normally.

    It seems that some device has been disabled. What should I do?

    What do you mean by low shout very often?
    Do you see a blue screen error message or just sometimes happens without any error message?

    Description looks you a bit like an overheating problem. What do you think about this?

    Usually, if the temperature is too high, that the laptop stops down to prevent material damage!
    This could happen if the cooling modules n t runs correctly or if the air is moving!

    One question; have you tried to reinstall the OS using the recovery CD?

  • Satellite A100-906: stop in 3D games

    Hello, I need consultation before I take my laptop to the service center.

    my model is A100-906. and when I play games with 3d in some time my computer stops instantly. no errors nor that it recharges. just close. When I turn it on again, everything seems normal, without any of the etc error messages.

    Please if anyone knows what to do tell me.

    I run a few test utilities, for the CPU and stable memory, so its seems to be ok.

    so I think that the problem of graphics card...

    Hello

    It happens that when you play strong performance?
    Have you noticed a higher temperature?

    For me it s like to overheating. During the games of high performance, the CPU and the GPU works with maximum performance and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature drops until a threshold, the portable computer shuts down to prevent damage.

    It is very important that the cooling modules may work properly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for air circulation.
    Don t jam grids cooling!

    Of course, update of the graphics driver is always desirable because games always has the latest versions of the driver.

  • Satellite P200-143 stop questions

    When I turned off my computer, while on the network, the computer shuts down normally, but a minute later, automatically restarts.

    However, on the battery it stops as it should.
    I checked my power settings, and they are all very good.
    So I was wondering if anyone knew what I could do.

    I was stop by keeping the power button down, as seems to be the only way.

    What operating system do you use?
    Is this an original image of Toshiba preinstalled?

    To be honest, this issue seems to be very strange
    I've never seen anything like that of course I know to automatically turn off the bottom but never about automatically switch on the issue.

  • Satellite A100-049 stops and restarts

    Have had this laptop for about six months and sometimes, no reason apparent, just turns off and restarts. Obviously, this can be very irritating. Anyone alse met this or know why it happens?

    CocoLoco

    Hello

    Did you see any error messages or BSOD?

    Have you noticed a high temperature or warm air, fan of the laptop?

    These automatically and unexpected shutdown from the bottom may be related to high internal temperature.
    The laptop supports protection against overheating.
    If the temperature rises to a critical level, the laptop stops automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

    In this case mainly the temperature rises because the fans cannot turn with a maximum return.
    The fan simply cleaning may help. Computer stores sell nice tools to clean the cooling modules.

    But if you have no experience and don't know how, ask a technician for laptop for assistance.
