• 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.

• 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 - 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?

• 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

• 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.

  Bye and greetings

• 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.

• 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 A100-225 screen does not load

  I have a toshiba A100-225 and whenever I start the laptop the screen will not load or show anything. Does anyone know what the problem with him?

  Hi Michael,

  The screen itself may be defective or the FL inverter has failed. Try to connect an external monitor to your laptop and see if you can get a good view. If the external monitor does not work then it is probably a problem with your graphics chip.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• Satellite A100-225 "Floating" keyboard

  Hello
  I bought a brand new A100-225 and found that the top row keys - p and the ajoining numbers above seem to drop a little further that other keys and they feel different. Also when I press the seprator - between the F key and numbers, in the middle right of the band, when I press lightly, it makes a grinding sound and down a little.

  Is this normal for this series? Or is there something I should be concerned?

  Thank you

  Hello Dan

  On this path, it is not easy to rebuild what's wrong with your keyboard but if I were you I your local dealer and show. You should clarify this with him.

• Question on buying memory Satellite A100-225

  I'm looking at buying 2 new Modules of memory DDR2 PC4200 1 GB to take my laptop to its maximum available memory of 2 GB.

  I tried searching Toshibas Web site, but the part number in the manual online (PA3411U-1M1G) doesn't seem to be available.

  Does anyone know of a dealer that I can visit (preferably a real store, rather than an eTailer) to buy this memory of. Everyqhere I google for the module is proving to be an eTailer =)

  Thanks for any help

  PS

  It says on the product for the 225 specifications page, its maximum expansion capability is 4 GB, but I don't see how this is possible, because there are only 2 Slots on the machine, anyone know?

  Hello

  I found information that these modules are memory compatible:
  DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
  1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

  The maximum memory size of 4 GB is just. I think the 2 GB sticks of memory, that you will buy in the future.
  You can buy all the parts and also modules of memory of the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• 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?

• Satellite A100 - 225 Bluetooth stack does not?

  Hi, when I install the battery/bluetooth drivers for my system in Windows XP, the installation seems to proceed normally. However in some ways in the installation process, I get a message saying "Please press FN + F2 to turn on Bluetooth". If I press FN + F2 nothing happens. If I press FN + F2, then on OK the message disappears - but then returned a few moments later. The process then repeats constantly, continuously asking I have press FN + F2 and the result is that I finally have no option other than to press Cancel. When I look at Device Manager in Windows, it shows that the driver has not been installed.

  How can I get this driver to work properly and for Bluetooth is enabled on this system?

  Hello

  to me, it looks like the Fn key is not working properly.
  Try to use another function Fn, for example Fn + F5 to switch to an external monitor.

  Good bye
