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.

Welcome them

  • 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.

  • 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 A100-998: Touchpad acts crazy

    Hello

    I am now the proud owner of a Satellite A100-998, with Intel Dual-Core, 2 GB of RAM, pregnant harman/kardon and so on.
    Is a beautiful piece. However, would be much nicer if I had no problem from touchpad:

    Do you want to use the scroll bar on the right, in any application (Word, Excel, Mozilla, no matter), or you want to close the window by clicking the X. But then your system seems to "think" that you are working on the underlying window and it takes your window away and simply shows the underlying window. As if she had the wrong coordinates pointer/Mouse/touchpad! I tried everything with the two parameters dozend touchpad software allows, but does not. No matter what the setting.

    The distributor said that I would ask Toshiba, that he has never heard such odd performances.
    A Toshiba engineer looking in this forum and answer these questions?
    Or does anyone know what to do about it?

    David

    Sorry, but I think I have to disappoint you. To my knowledge there is no Toshiba technicians or engineers. This is a user forum.

    However, I would like to help you, but I've also never heard these dysfunctions of touchpad.
    This problem also happens when you use an external USB mouse?

    I don't know who exactly touchpad software you use, but on my laptop I can configure the easy touchpad properties.
    Please check if you did not select the tap again and hold to drag the option. Maybe it has a bad influence on the device.

    In addition, you can configure different tab area. Each tab on the touchpad can perform different actions. So check it!

    Also check the movement of the pointer and other like edge options request. There must be parameters that cause strange movements

    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.

  • Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

    I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
    Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
    And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
    So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

    I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

    What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
    Any help is appreciated.

    HM, delicate sounds.
    I suggest the following:

    Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

    If you have any questions, just ask.

    Have a nice weekend

  • Satellite T110-107: touchpad problem - pointer move sometimes

    Good afternoon everyone,

    Currently I have a series of Satellite T110-107 and have problems with the touchpad.

    I start the computer and the touchpad works very well for a few seconds, after that, the touch pad stops working to full capacity.
    If I wander my fingers on the touchpad and the pointer does not move, sometimes it will move up and down, but not as it should.

    It is a common problem, or is it a hardware problem... or is it the fact that I'm just not accustomed to having the correct settings on windows7?

    All help reveal be great, because it's very frustrating!

    Kind regards!

    Hello

    I found a few tips and tricks that you should try.

    First, you must change the sensitive touchpad settings to lower the level.
    Go to control panel-> mouse and all the settings for the touchpad to the value has a less sensitive level.

    You should also right click Synaptics Pointing Device (in the taskbar) and get in the middle of the page Double click speed on.
    Move the slider to half way down the beach. This should help you too.

    Last but not leas, you will need to disable zoom pinch.
    Go to the icon in the lower right corner Synaptics pointing device, click on 'The pointing device properties', click on the "Device settings" tab, then the settings button. Uncheck "Enable Pinch Zoom" under "Pinch Zoom".

  • Satellite A100 - battery replacement problem

    My original battery died after four years. I thought that I'm ok with the machine in general and decided to buy a new battery... I found the following on a Russian in line-shop local, they say, these models will be adapted to my laptop (A100 psaan series):

    PA3465U 4400mAh
    PA3478U 6600mAh
    PA3400U 8800mAh

    My old battery is PA3399U-2BRS 4000 mAh

    1 will they really for me?

    2. is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (weight and dimensions are not critical, after all, the laptop is not so small; reliability and long service life is important)

    3. perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?

    4. not sure how "real" these components are... Perhaps, someone could recommend a reliable supplier?

    Thank you!

    >. Is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (
    Well, if you travel a lot and need to use the laptop with battery, so I recommend buying a stronger battery.

    > 3. Perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?
    You must always use original parts and compatible Toshiba. In this case, the parties should work together without big problems.

    Recommend buying the battery from Toshiba ASP (partner) in your country. In this case, you can be 100% certain that the original parts

  • Satellite A200 - sensitivity Touchpad problem

    Hello.

    All of a sudden my touchpad has developed a mind of your own.
    If I go on something for a few seconds, it's as if I clicked it.

    It's really annoying because I was removing things that I don't want delete, selection of programs I want to choose etc.etc.

    I have looked at the Synaptics settings & can't find anything that can solve the problem, although I am totally thick when it comes to something like this.
    If anyone can offer a solution that, I understand I will be really, really grateful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    All you can do is to check all these settings, in particular to change the sensitivity level in the hope that this behavior will stop.
    Otherwise I do not see other was about visit Toshiba service.

    Is solution of using external mouse for you? I mean you can completely disable touchpad with FN + F9 and use an external mouse.

    Everything works fine and after a while, everything is frozen. I can't use the touchpad.

    But I do not have to manually stop.

    I have the latest driver telecharged, "version 15.0.8.1 10/03/2010 Synaptics. But no change.

    More information: I return to my post for the problem appears right now!
    So live: temp °: beetween 36 ° and 40 °. Fan max speed: 62%
    The touchpad does not work, but this time the '. insertion point' is able to move!

    If for example, I am writing this post with the finger, I put the "PointInsertion" where I want to and click on the left button: it is right and I can write to this location.

    Close other windows, I use tab, button left and right.

    What should do?

    > Everything works fine and after a while, everything is frozen. I can't use the touchpad.

    > But I do not often have to stop manually.

    Have you noticed the same thing with the external USB mouse?
    If the problem is the same using the USB mouse and touchpad then the issue is NOT related to the touchpad, but maybe other reasons may be that the system is overloading or the operating system may be corrupt.
    Have you tried new installation of the OS?
