Satellite A100-225: need for HDD upgrade PCMICA card reviews

Hi, I have this laptop:

http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=116145

I am interested to do an upgrade of the disk using a PCMICA Cardbus Card.

What version of card is recommended for this computer and serial ATA version too?

I have a standard for this PC PCMCIA card slot and an Express Card slot. There are also a number of contradictory versions of SATA. Can you guys recommend a specific map and a specific brand that would be best suited to this system?

Hello Raid

I might have a bad day today, but I didn't understand what you want to do exactly. Can you please send a link where I can see what card you want to use?

You want to use the external HARD disc or what you mean exactly with the PCMICA card to upgrade the HARD drive?

  • 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

  • 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 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.

  • Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

    Hi people,

    My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

    When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

    The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

    I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
    I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
    Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
    Laptop is out of warranty.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    See you soon
    Steve

    Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

    Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite A100 PSAAKL: need video driver WXP

    I got my Vista A100 (PSAAKL-00E002) which i had bought from the Malaysia to XP Media Center Edition and I could not install the video driver.

    I tried to download the most recent catalyst for ATI, which one for XP support center but the driver will not be installed. I tried to download different drivers from ati. One message said I had to first install the VGA driver.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    You shouldn't t use graphics card ATI drivers because these drivers don't support the overheating GPU, and therefore installation fails.

    You must choose the GPU driver from the Toshiba page.
    This is a page of European driver of Toshiba;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Seems that your laptop supports a * ATI Radeon X 1400 * graphics chip.
    Many A100 were delivered with the same graphics card.
    Check what Satellite A100 European notebooks were equipped with this card and try to install the graphics driver.

    Good luck

  • 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.

  • Satellite A100-225: Question about upgrade up to 4 GB of RAM

    I'm confused. Very confused.

    I myself have an A100-225 and browse the documentation, I noticed that even if it comes with 1 GB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM, the maximum memory (RAM?) system upgrade it will take is cited as an impressive 4 Gb 'Cool' think me "I wonder where this is going?".

    Now, I had computers laptops apart before--and rebuilt a little - and I have never seen one with more than 2 RAM slots. So knowing that the greatest single chip RAM you can buy for a laptop (commercially) is 1 GB, I think that there must be four locations. Open the back... No, just the usual two.

    So any ideas what I'm missing here? I've had a scout around the site of Tosh and watching it - http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=116145 -.

    I see the same boot - 4 GB maximum of extension. Exactly how do you what to do next? Or am I confused with something else?

    Help. And thank you all.

    Neil

    Hi guys

    Of course, memory 2 GB modules are available right now and not in the future.
    You have to search only in the net for memory 2 GB PC2 - 4200 DDR2 - 533 SODIMM.
    To my knowledge this unit supports the PC2-4200 DDR2-533 SODIMM these modules and modules are available for example on the Kingston site.

    Hello

    As far as I know, this device is your laptop card reader and therefore you need to download the Flash Media driver from the Toshiba page.

    I checked the page but it s is only available for the 32-bit Vista or XP :(

    You can try a driver for another model laptop but there is no guarantee that it will work. Just check out ;)

  • Need drivers for Satellite A100-110 (PSAA9N) for the 64 bit OS?

    Hi, if someone can help me, a lot of tanks!

    I want drivers for my Satellite A100-110 (100-PSAA9N) new, but for 64-bit operating systems!

    To Toshiba support there are drivers for 32-bit versions, but there is no drivers for the 64 bit version of windows Vista and Windows XP x 64 edition. I can't find it!
    Mainly, I want video drivers for my nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics card, but for 64-bit operating systems! (Or in the nVidia support!)

    Thank you very much!!

    64-bit drivers are not available, and why you can't find them. At present, no one can say with certainty when the drivers will be available. :(
