• Re: Satellite A100-283 - 16:9 display on external monitor resolution

  Hello

  I just got an old Toshiba Satellite A100-283 and tried to connect it to a TFT 22 ". Somehow, it seems that this laptop graphics card does not support the external screen such as 1920 x 1080 resolutions. I find 16:9 1920 x 1440 resolutions and such but not at all.
  Is - anyone here know if there is a way to get this notebook running on an external display in 16:9?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  Hey Buddy,

  You can change the screen resolution to the 16:9 format when you remove the brand to hide modes that this monitor cannot display as [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo?

  Check it then [screen resolutions | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_vertical_res-355x400.png] again if you select another resolution of the screen

• Satellite A100-283 - does not start every time so I've created workaround

  Hey guys,.

  I have a problem with my A100-283. A few weeks ago the laptop just hung and I stopped it the hard way by removing just the battery (I know, bad idea, shouldn't have done...)

  After that it wouldn't start. Or through battery with the adapter is plugged. There was no more noise fan, or beep or anything like that, just a few LEDs + turn signals for a fraction of a second (capslock + numlock and some of the front LEDs).

  The next day I tried again - and it booted up fine, everything seemed to work again. But off it again the same problem appeared.
  Now there is no more guarantee on the A100, so I disassembled and welded in a new BIOS battery because I thought that this could be the problem.
  After reassembling, the problem remains.

  * But now I found a 'solution' to get the boot the laptop upward once again, *.
  It is just that it's really annoying to have to do this every time you start. Sometimes it always starts in the usual way, I think that it always depended on time, it has been turned off. The book has been extinguished, more lucky to start normally.

  But back to the workaround. I press the power button, the LEDs blink in no time. I continue to press the button, and after 5 seconds or more, the LEDs blink once (I think that the laptop lights somehow without any fan noise or anything, and if I continue to press on, it stops again). After that, I always do it by pressing the button for 10 seconds. Subsequently, I release her and push it again and it will start up just as it should. This method works 10 out of 10 times.

  Now, someone please tell me, is it possible to run the normal way?
  An update of the BIOS might help? My BIOS version is 2.00.

  Please do not come upwards with the support from Toshiba, as I already don't said, no guarantee, then it would probably be cheaper to buy just one more...

  Hope someone has an idea.

  > More book was off, more a chance to start normally
  Perhaps this problem could be related to overheating I mean if the temperature of parts would be more raised then usual, then such question could appear

  Unfortunately, but it's the only plausible explanation for me

  The issue could also well be linked to the motherboard failure, everything is possible

  But I see you don't want to hear about ASP and laptop technicians. Well in this case, you will have to diagnose the failure yourself

  Good luck

  Hi Peter

  To be honest, I can't imagine what is happening exactly.
  Can you please tell us what operating system do you use?
  I presume that you can see this problem when the OS is fully charged, no?

  The same happens when you start Windows in safe mode?

• Satellite A100-233 - how to use the multimedia buttons in Linux

  Hello!

  I used to use media keys and ALTLinux on Toshiba Satellite A100-233 (who, under the power button)... Its possible? If so, how?

  PS: Sorry for my bad English... If you can answer on Russian... =)

  Hello

  Hmm these buttons belongs to a characteristic of Toshiba and this function needs special drivers of Toshiba.
  Unfortunately, there is no drivers for Linux distributions and that's why I put t think you will get these buttons work after installing Linux.

• No display after installing linux on Satellite A100

  Hi all

  The weekend, I decided to install linux on a partition on my toshiba satellite a100. I did a new install of windows from the recovery cd and everything worked fine. I then installed linux on an extended partition and my computer does not display anything on startup - (the LCD has a backlight) and I get all the beeps and reads it from CD etc. The strange thing is that I can plug it into an external monitor and it works fine. When I start with an external display I can then go to the LCD screen and I get a screen but it is very slow and has a lot of flaws.

  I've updated the bios, installed the latest graphics drivers (ati), but still no improvement. Since the linux install I deleted the partition scope and installed windows from the restore CD (still no improvement).

  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try next?

  Thank you in advanced for your help.

  Ask what you can do?
  Delete and format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the OS from the recovery CD.
  If you want to use Linux, I advise to use a Knoppix. You can get it on the Live CD and it s not necessary to install it on the HARD drive.

• Linux distro with which it would work on Satellite A100?

  Hi guys,.
  My laptop is Satellite A100-011 and im having problems to choose a working linux distribution. I tried SuSE 10.1, SuSE 9.3 and Knoppix 5.1.1 but none of them doesn't work. Respectively - the first takes too long scan the system, the second goes down while the installation program is running and the live cd knoppix couldn't even managed to load - an error (although I don't exactly know it)
  Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  You can try Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. Installation process is quiet easy (but be careful with partitioning, because the default schema can erase the disc). You will not have problems with wifi, because the distribution of a native Intel drivers for your card. If the sound card is compatible with SoundBlaster, must be nor any problem with this, and if not, there are some howtos to turn the sound on the wiki of Ubuntu (Kubuntu is exactly the same system as Ubuntu, but with KDE instead of Gnome preinstalled). Ubuntu repositories contain nVidia drivers too.

  Oh, the installation of Kubuntu program sometimes has problems with partitioning manual, but installed on partitions already prepared (for example using another distribution Setup) is a nice solution for this.

  Good luck! :)

  Comes with Microsoft Windows Vista

  The problem:

  The HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N is NOT working property behind Vista, so for this reason, I would like to put Windows XP, why!

  Because after a few writings with the Vista DVD player 'kill' pilots and the DVD is unusable and tryes all to return to the job comes with message INCOMPATIBLE VERSION of the stupid Vista drivers.
  So the solution is to use the recovery DVDs Toshiba who cannot back up user files and folders!

  So when we get the Windows Vista and the machine is ready for work that we can use it for another 3-7 on DVD and BOOOM's written we need to repeat the same procedure, because Vista is not detect the DVD drive?

  Now how to put back the good Windows XP or Linux can be?
  When we look in the forum, we find the only solution that can help us:

  "Look at the bottom of your laptop for PSAAxxxx letters." If it's PSAANE, then the drivers are for the PSAA8xx model, as for the PSAARE model, it has PSAA9xx... Try it, it works for me. It has the same arhitecture. »

  But...

  The wireless controller is still doesn't work DO NOT
  The Texas Instruments Flash is still doesn't work DO NOT
  The Ethernet controller is still doesn't work DO NOT
  HD sound does NOT work

  ... so when I search several forums including Russian, Spanish and English I found (I thing) a solution.
  So, I'll share my knowledge with you!
  After downloading and installing all the drivers and updates for the appropriate model go and download a drivers for:

  Atheros AR5006EG Wireless Network adapt - Installation and search for the Windows Update *.
  Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller - installation and search for the Windows Update *.

• How to reinstall media player express on Satellite A100-683?

  For some stupid reason, I managed to format the partition that contains the media express the player.

  I really think that I have ever received a recovery cd or I lost it in a mather of seconds after I bought my Satellite A100-683 in 2006.

  Never the less: I want this program back so I called the technical assistance service. They have managed to tell me that they cannot provide me with a recovery disk because it contained the program note only Microsoft (and Microsoft does not allow redistribution more this program).

  My questions, subject that has been media express player and if they had any suggestions where to look for the software, went unanswered.

  So my question is:
  Can someone give me please with software that reinstalls express MediaPlayer in its Linux partition on the hard drive of my laptop?

  > I really think that I have ever received a recovery cd or I lost it in a mater of seconds after I bought my Satellite A100-683 in 2006.

  Have goggled a bit that has found that this laptop was certainly delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD and the CD Express Media Player.
  So, I think that you lost!

  > I want this program to go back so I called the technical assistance service. They have managed to tell me that they can t give me a recovery disk because it contained the Microsoft program single note (and Microsoft doesn t allow a redistribution of this program).

  AFAIK the OneNote has been installed on the Toshiba Recovery CD but the Express Media Player has been on the external CD. So it should not be bundled with the software OneNote.

  > So my question is: can someone please provide me with a software that reinstalls express MediaPlayer in its Linux partition on the hard drive of my laptop?
  Unfortunately, I n t think someone can do the official Toshiba forum isn't a platform of Exchange software ;)

  Best regards

• Satellite A100-593: should I install 64-bit or 32-bit Win Vista version

  A100-593 Centrino Duo T2300, 1 GB of RAM FSB 533

  I have already installed the 32-bit version. Everything works fine.

  But I read 64-bit can give problems with portable computer equipment (lack of 64-bit drivers)

  http://www.tech-recipes.com/microsoft_vista_tips1426.html

  on the laptop is marked vista capable, but that does not mean that pilots are ready for 64-bit.

  where is the constant pleasure you receive error messages that a certain hardware driver is not signed. Or you can not burn a dvd or listen to your sound card...

  Someone out there with positive ratings...?

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite A100-593 shipped with an Intel Core Duo (Yonah) CPU T2300 1.66 GHz.
  According to information I found on this page does not support the CPU 64-bit (EM64T)
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core
  I think that it is better to use the 32-bit version

  However, the fact is that Windows Vista is not official on the market right now.
  In this case there is no assurance that Vista OS will work without any problems on the laptop.

• Satellite A100-188: it is possible to install Windows Vista?

  I buy the Satellite A100-188 and use the laptop with Vista. is the laptop Vista Ready (all pilot them aviable?)

  Hello

  As you know the Microsoft Windows Vista is not official on the market and Toshiba doesn't provide laptops equipped with this OS.
  The fact is that, currently, no Toshiba drivers are available for Windows Vita.
  If you install Vista on the unit you will not be able to use the special features of Toshiba as FN, for example energy saving keys.

  As far as I know generally the Vista operating system needs to more then 256 MB of RAM and about 7 GB on the HARD disk

• Satellite A100-998: mono/stereo mix not available under Vista

  Windows Vista and the Microsoft default value "High definition Audio Device" driver (automatically selected and installed by Setup of Vista), no recording device is listed with the exception of the Microphone, Line In, CD Audio, as in this screenshot of the A100-998 in question:
  http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1981/a100998jp6.PNG

  No new Mix or record Waveout options of the device, which means that you can not, for example, doesn't record audio stream on the Internet. I tried the latest drivers from Realtek HD Audio for Vista (30/11/2006 R1.52). No change. Is there a way/driver to enable this as in other Windows Vista machines.

  Is also the audio material in the A100-998 "Vista Premium Ready" with the specifications set out in the http://www.optimalsound.net/?

  It's the third disappointment. The first two were that he has not delivered with the announced NVIDIA GF7400 (came to the square with 7300) and the second is that the hard drive is 4200 RPM (instead of the advertised 5400).
  The third issue is the audio issue detailed above.

  Here is a solution I found, but it is not free (costs $US28.20) and requires users to manually switch the "playback devices" each time that they execute it:
  http://www.NCH.com.au/SoundTap/index.html
  Unlike other programs like Audacity which are based on the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix as their sound source (and so do not work in this case), NCH SoundTap installs its own virtual driver and is therefore able to record everything you hear through your speakers in Windows Vista without the need for Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix. "All the sound elements are"typed"by a pilot virtual directly in the kernel, so the process is perfect digital quality."

  However, it would be better that Vista Realtek/Toshiba/Microsoft "High definition Audio Device" driver is updated to include the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix (under "recording devices"), so that programs that rely on it are broken. SoundTap can do on Vista means that it is not a hardware limitation.

  PS new Vista sound effects as Loudness equalization, Room Correction, Bass Management and Virtual Surround are already supported in the current drivers Vista (the driver from Realtek v1.52 and that by default by Microsoft) in Satellite A100-998.

  The lack of material?
  Didn't check you the voice mail program specifications and the hardware requirements in order to use this software

  To be honest I ve no experience using this software, but I guess that all software provides a list of the hardware requirements. Check with the developer software, or maybe you can see some details on the package

  What version of BIOS you have installed? Has recently been the machine in for repair? A few interesting facts where I need some information to help you...
  By the way: is your machine still in warranty?
