  Have you used the Toshiba Power Saver?

  When there is this problem occure for the first time? Do you have anything before this failure occurred?

• Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

  Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

  This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

  Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

  Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

  Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

  Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

  Hello

  Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
  On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

  In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
  If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

  Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

  But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

• Re: Satellite A100-811 main battery indicator is OFF

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite a100-811 and the problem is the following:
  When it is plugged in, the main indicator should be blue (full load) or orange (charge).
  Now it is off (no light at all).

  I unplugged DC and back is plugged and the fire was orange for a few seconds and then went off again. Battery is charged at 99%.

  What is a battery or a motherboard problem?
  The laptop is old. Should I be backing up my files?

  > Should I be backing up my files?

  You should always have a backup of your files in case something bad happens to your laptop or HARD drive.
  But the battery issue would not affect your files directly.

  However, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Now hold down the power button / stop along 30 sec.
  Then, plug the battery and plug in the AC adapter and check if the battery indicator would be IT.

  But I think that if the laptop is still running even if the AC adapter is not connected, then the battery should be ok

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• Fan on the Satellite A100-225

  Two years ago in may, I bought the Satellite A100-225. I have always noticed that it got very warm, but a few months ago it was not a problem. However, a few months ago, it began to overheat during execution of the tasks of joel, but I never thought much about it.

  Then, one a few weeks ago I started my computer to realize that the fan was now only turns not at all, and I have no idea why. I tried to install a new update of the BIOS and check if there is any debris stuck. You can still use it, but only for short periods. However, today when I was about to stop because it was too hot, the fan went on for 3 seconds, then it turns of. He the did not once again even if I leave it at the same temperature.

  I have to buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed.

  Can someone offer me some advice please?

  > Should I buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed

  I think you should first clean the front fan start you away from stocks
  Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent fans turn with maximum performance and this could lead to a higher temperature.

  A use of the spray of compressed air could get rid of the dust and could help with this problem
  But if it doesn t help you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  Guys could check the laptop and could eventually replace the fans.

  The big problem is that the laptop disassembly procedure is very delicate and risky.
  So these replacements should be made only by a technician for laptop.

• Is there a Bluetooth for Satellite A100-225?

  Hello

  I wonder if a bluetooth module exists for a Satellite A100-225 (PSAA9E series). What model?

  Thank you

  No, unfortunately, this laptop does not support the internal Bluetooth module and it cannot be upgraded with this module.
  If you want to use BT technology, you will need to switch to the external solution.
  Just buy a USB Bluetooth stick. These sticks are simply to use. Just plug in the USB port and configure it.

• Satellite A100-225 has built-in microphone?

  Please some1 tell me if I have built in mic on my computer laptop core duo T2300 Satellite A100-225 1600Ghz.
  I tried to find out if I have a ranging in volume, properties and voices, but without joy.

  I even tried the sound recorder.

  I don't think that. I searched an A100-225 and found this brochure saying he has an external mic port. No mention of a micro internal.

• Need motherboard for Satellite A100-225

  I need a new motherboard for my Satellite A100-225 lappy, please any1 know where I can buy a new motherboard with at a reasonable price.

  She is my lappy model number PSAA9E-03U0IEEN and serial 46083748Q.

  > Please any1 know where I can buy a new motherboard with at a reasonable price?

  The motherboard is one of the expensive parts for laptop and a new motherboard would cost a small fortune! It's so maybe a second hand Council would be a better option
  Why you n t search in Ebay for a 100 of second hand or second hand Board?

  However, if you want to buy a new motherboard, I recommend you with ASP (certified partner) in your country. These guys could order the new motherboard at the Toshiba.

  Good luck

• Satellite L850 - charger / battery problems, not normal...

  Hi all.

  First post and all, I had a glance through to see if I can find my particular problem, and I don't think I can.

  I posted this in another sub-forum, but then realized it's here... oops!

  A L850. It will work fine on battery, but only supplies not the charger cable. Helpfully, a colleague also has an another L850 (I bought two together) so I can charge my battery of separately in his machine.

  If I start the machine on a charged battery, it works fine. If you connect then the power adapter, the led is lit on the front of the machine, but it's clearly not load the machine works until the battery is flat and then turns off and will not turn on back until you charge the battery apart and put it back in.

  Whenever the machine is powered, it also complains that the RTC battery is flat, and you will need to set the time in the BIOS. It is the coin cell CR2032 internally on the motherboard isn't?

  what I don't understand, is that the unit understands clearly that the charger is plugged, as seers to say it is the battery. Except that it isn't, and is not to be unity. Œuvres battery for about 40 minutes of our days, after that, dead machine.

  Any ideas? I suppose that there is something wrong with the internal charging circuit, but the fact that the LED lights up when it is plugged suggests otherwise...

  Thanks for all the ideas.

  David.

  More information on this type of bit. When it is plugged in, the icon on the screen says "Plugged in, charge", but battery icon animates not charging about 10 seconds, then stops, and battery is clearly not charge as % drops away slowly.

  I found a Google one of them is the "remove all, hold for 30 seconds, reconnect power. This made no difference. I also found advice to uninstall the battery from the device manager driver software and allow it to re - install. This done, still no different.

  I got the hard drive and in a USB enclosure to retrieve all my files and am doing the 'factory restore' option I think that this is a restore hard disk partition. This work is far away, but in my opinion, is still running on battery only, so do not know if this is going to end!

• Satellite A100 - save the battery when the laptop in a longer retention

  Hi, I have a * Satellite A100 * about 4-5 years. There was no intensive use (it's hospitality do not work) and is in good shape.

  I go there for at least 6 months and will PLAN A - most likely need to put the computer in stock, that is to say. No one will be able to access. PLAN B - there is a very low probability that someone could "baby sit" it but it can't count on him.

  Can anyone suggest what is the best way to deal with the LiOn battery in the above two cases?

  Can I remove or leave in the laptop?

  Is there a way to stop the battery completely dead while in storage / is not not in use?

  Thanks... any advice appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion it makes no difference if you put the battery 6 months or leave it in the computer. In both cases, the battery must be charged because it also loses power when it s turned.

  If nobody is using the computer you can remove the battery, otherwise and someone would use you can install the battery.

• Satellite A300D-11 q battery problem

  Hello!

  I was on the point of start almost the same topic, when I saw there was very similar question several hours - [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61884&tstart=0]. Yet, I decided to share my problem.

  I have the Satellite A300D-11 q PA3534U-1BRS 4000 mAh battery and 10.8 V.
  The difference in my case is that I bought a new battery, PA3533U-1BRS, 7200 mAh, 10.8V, but a third-party manufacturer.
  Before that, I was told by the official service of Toshiba PA3533U-1BRS is compatible with my computer. Of course, this trusted third party (Brainydeal, a U.S.-based company., but the battery is made in China, by AGPTEK). It was pretty tempting as the price was half that quoted by Toshiba for a 6000 one mAh. And there were 16/16 sides of 5 stars on Amazon for the same battery.

  So, the problem. I had very similar flashing red LED, but nevertheless the battery could be charged and was able to power the laptop for about 2 hours. However, the computer could not get information nor on the level of load (and therefore couldn't not to assess what is the period of hibernation, so was suddenly stopped), voltage, or manufacturer.

  And the model seems to be PA3593U-1BRS depending on the software (Lavalys Everest and also BatteryMon).
  I've had a few matches clumsy with Brainydeal where they assured me that the battery is high quality and all going well, 3593 is compatible with my laptop model.

  Finally, I returned it to the manufacturer for replacement, and yesterday, I received a new. However, the same is happening again.
  Exactly the same thing.

  Before writing back to the manufacturer, I decided to check here for review.
  May be the battery Electronics is a failure?
  Or could it be somehow related to the fact that the computer is purchased the battery - of the USA and Europe? Or I just had very bad luck?

  Just one question: the old battery is working correctly?
  I mean do a blink led using the old battery or only the new battery?

  I read in some discussions that last BIOS should be used for series Satellite A300 to solve some problems of battery.

  Please check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS!

• Windows Vista RC1 keyboard & Satellite A100-225

  Hi I have a new laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-225 and as a
  journalist, I obviously do a lot of typing. I'm really very reasonable
  typist with a typing speed of up to 60 words per minute with a quite small
  error rate. In any case I found that when using this system with Windows
  Vista RC1 2600 and typing of reports and so on, only the cursor will often
  inexplicably jump to random page parts - such as for example I can be typing one
  sentence and towards the middle of it, the cursor will jump on the
  the third - or second previous line, or he can jump just at the beginning of the
  first line, or the beginning of the line, I type, or even just to
  at the beginning, or way (or indeed any random point) of the word that I'm
  If you type at the time. (I've only really tested in Windows Mail and)
  Internet Explorer in the forum messages so far - as I still have Windows XP
  installed where I do most of my hits to my work. (Windows XP only)
  shows this fault of all BTW, who would be pretty much eliminate
  any type of hardware failure).

  I also tried a number of other USB keyboards that I plugged in this
  System (3 in total) and they all had more or less similar errors. Some even
  print numbers and symbols in the place where the letters and characters should
  be, despite the fact that my bar of page layout and the language of the keyboard is certainly
  100% (triple checked) updated British English UK.

  Now I am really very worried that late in the day will not be
  possible to fix it in time before Vista gold is released-
  especially since I planned to buy it soon.

  I bought this laptop because he had a "Vista Ready" label on this subject.

  Hello

  This laptop has been delivered not with Windows Vista and anyway; Windows Vista is not official on the market. There is only a BETA version.
  Beta versions of the OS usually include most small bugs. As a result, Microsoft offers Beta version only for the test.

  I think that if you finally get one version of the Vista operating system, all bugs will be fixed. I recommend using the Xp at this time. Sorry, I can see t any other solution.

• Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

  Hi all

  I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

  Audio device:
  Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
  Manufacturer: Intel

  (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

  Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

  The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

  I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

  Best regards
  Alan

  You use Windows XP Home with SP2 or SP3?

• Satellite A100-803 - Vista recovery problem

  Hello

  I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Satellite A100-803 and when I restore Windows Vista from the recovery disk process is going very well, but after restarting windows says that "Windows Setup could not set up Windows on this s material.

  I think that the problem is listed here.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us.

  But the problem is that I can't change the RAID setting in the BIOS, and during the installation of recovery, I'm not able to add the additional drivers needed.
  The new drive is a WD 500 GB driver (WD5000BPVT)

  How can I solve this problem?
  Thanks in advance
  Pau

  Hello

  First I put t think its BIOS problem.
  The laptop doesn't support RAID.

  I think the problem is the size of your new HARD drive. Upgrade of the disk HARD 500 GB and its larger than the original HARD drive equipped in A100.

  The point is that a recovery disk automatically creates the partitions on the HARD disk, but due to the size of the disk HARD the size of the partitions would be different also.
  I think that you won't have the same problems to install Vista or Win 7 using the Microsoft disk
