• Satellite A100-405: black cracked screen

  Hello world

  I have problem with my laptop its TOSHIBA SATELLITE A100-405 and 2 year old so no warranty now.

  Just before 2 weeks his fall and lcd cracked, but even after cracking at least I was using it normally without replacement and wished to replaced soon but yesterday when I uninstalled the sound toshiba virtual (because it still looks like echo) suddenly collapsed knees work once uninstalled this virtual sound.

  I have to press power button to the market, but even after its on, I see on the screen.
  I tried to put the recovery disk, but after that, I don't see anything on the screen.

  Can you help me please what that is the problem, it is because of this cracked screen or uninstalled virtual sound.
  I hope that someone will help me solve this issue.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I doubt that an uninstall of the virtual sound would lead this display problem
  I m sure that this display problem appears because the laptop has dropped down in the past

  I think you should contact an ASP in your country for a LCD test and perhaps you will need a new.

• Satellite A100-405: [Pickup and return] what information is required?

  I bought a Satellite A100-405 today and I have a problem with my screen (it produces sounds iritating). I phoned the Dutch Toshiba helpline and they said they will pick up tomorrow. I needed to write the number of application Service and address according to the guy on the phone.

  Is there anything else that I should put on it to help the DHL soon to Toshiba (Netherlands)?

  No, I'm Don t think we should give additional information from DHL. Just send your machine to Toshiba and they will handle the rest. Well, worry not Don t, buddy.

• Satellite A100 - cannot find the recovery disk to restore to factory settings

  Hello
  I hope someone can help out me?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, model PSAANA-04E005 under Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 32-bit. I am wanting to sell, but have all my programs stuff etc I want to erase files and be able to convey simple with system also when I bought. Memory (purchased January 2007) gave me a Toshiba Recovery with this power drive do something if I needed it's of course is not the case to be foundI.

  Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

  Thanks heaps

  Hello

  If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
  You have the address of the guy?

  Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

  But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

• Satellite A100 - 495 (PSAA9) - CPU and GPU upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a few questions.
  I have a Satellite A100-495 with 2 GB of Ram, Core2Duo 1.83 GHz (2 x; T5600) and an NVIDIA Geforce 7600go.
  I want to spend the CPU and the GPU. Is this possible?
  I don't want to do. I am looking for a store (if possible in Germany) that can do this.

  If its possible, what it costs? And what store can I speak?

  If this is not possible-> why? It is fixed; It getting too hot?

  What solution do I? I don't want to buy a new laptop.

  Kind regards
  Dave

  Update CPU and GPU on laptop computers is complicated enough or is not possible. At first, I must say that GPU is part of the motherboard and graphics card can not be upgraded at all.

  What about the CPU upgrade? Toshiba authorized service providers will not do that and the CPU upgrade is not supported. Few people on this forum have talked about CPU upgrade, but for me the risk is too high. All hardware components are adapted to the work well together and also to reduce the risk of damaging the material. The BIOS is also suitable for the specific hardware configuration. The values of the fans are also tested and there is no risk of overheating.

  Change CPU, you will get no more powerful laptop. Modern processors are powerful enough and a few MHz more won't do anymore difference. What you can do is to increase the RAM to the maximum level - 4 GB. That s all what you should do and your laptop runs a lot faster.

  Also be careful on the configuration of the operating system. This will also help make your laptop faster than before.

  By the way: for operations you need more power? What you want to do with your laptop?

• Failure of the graphics card on the Satellite A100-405

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba A100-405, which has a Geforce go 7600 graphics (specifications).
  Yesterday, playing a game, all of a sudden the frozen screen and showed a lot of horizontal stripes.
  I tried to restart the computer, but succeeded only in safe mode. The bands have not disappeared. (funny colors, such as low resolution, stripes, blocks, etc.)

  Question 1: Is my assumption that the graphics card is in correct failure?

  Question 2: Can this card easily replace? And if so, which would cost only? (in EUROS)

  Looking forward to your answers.

  Roel

  Hello

  These funny funny colors, as low resolution, stripes, blocks are called artifacts (adverse alteration in the data, introduced by a technical and/or technological). It seems that the dysfunction of the graphics card. To be sure, connect the external monitor to check. Talk about the replacement, if it is integrated in the motherboard, the entire motherboard must be replaced. It costs about 35% of the total price computer laptop, as you can see that it is quite expensive.

  Also, from my own experience I know, sometimes these artifacts occur because of the graphics card overheating due to dust. Do not be lazy to clean the laptop with the jet of compressed air. Otherwise, contact the ASP (SAV) and prepare the money.

  Welcome them

• Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - information necessary Ram upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) with 32-bit Vista installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).
  I was wondering if it is possible to change the 1 RAM (1024MB) with this RAM: 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz?
  Support page says that this laptop supports up to 4 GB of RAM total.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Generally this information in the user manual it s always mentioned in the manual that is preinstalled on your laptop.

  I downloaded the manual on the Toshiba page and found this:
  Slots _Memory: _
  + PC4200 256 MB or 512 MB or 1024 MB modules of memory can be installed in the locations of two memory for a max memory 2048 MB system. +

  _Memory expansion; _
  Only the memory modules with the number of following parts can be installed:
  256 MB PA338QU - 1 M 25
  512 MB PA3412U - 1 M 51
  1 GB-PA3411U-1M1G

  By the way; the 32 bit OS Vista won't recognize the 4 GB of RAM due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system. The 32-bit OS can handle max 3.2 GB.

• Satellite A100-062 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello

  I'm out of memory on my A100-062 the disk of Vista (C) on my laptop (currently 62.6MB/37.1GB left!), but I left on data (E) 32 GB drive / 35.9 GB.

  Is it possible to move itunes and my library of music on the D drive and where there is more room? Or should I look to upgrade the hard disk (internal or external)

  I am a complete novice when it comes of it so * _basic detailed explanations_ * on what best to do would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks Max1210

  Before you buy a new HARD drive, you should try to move the folder my documents on the second partition. Also the mp3 files you have.
  I save my documents, pictures, music, and so far only on the second partition. On the first partition I install only the programs that I need.

  If you want a new HARD disk it of your choice if you take a HARD drive internal or external. On the external HARD drive, you can backup your data.

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robbo88

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite A100-139 - download the recovery disk?

  Hello

  I lost the original CD that came with my computer.

  Purchase of a new copy of Win XP is the only chance to reinstall the OS on my laptop or is there a place where I can find and download a copy of the original CD?
  I still have my Microsoft product key, so I can show that I have an original copy of Win XP.

  Thanks much for any help that you could give me.

  Kind regards

  Michele

  Hi Michele,

  Sorry, but you can t download a Toshiba Recovery disk. If you have lost your CD, they come with Notepad, you will need to contact an authorized service provider for new disks.
  On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP. You can call them and e. g., they can sent you the disks.

  You mean what Microsoft product key?
  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled Windows. The t can be used with a disk of Microsoft.

• Cooling fan still works with an average speed on the Satellite A100-405

  Hello guys,.

  If anyone can give me a reason why my satellite cooling fan is always running at speed average. I shot all the "Toshiba Power Saver Properties" settings, to "Battery Optimized" condition and so I took the battery, and the pleasure of cooling is still running and operating at average speed. I'm in a place of model (18 Aºc) without any direct exposure to the Sun or heat.

  If you can help me about whether or not it is a normal condition. I think that it is not normal to have fun all the time for work. Runs normally for 2 minutes and stops during a similar period (used to be the case in other phones that I had in the past).

  Maybe, I need to set or check adjustments internally or in the Bios. I really don't know and I'm really worried about it.

  Thanks guys... Please respond.

  Laptop cooling depends on the use of laptops and the applications that run on the laptop.
  Strong performance of the software is running on the laptop each part as CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat.
  Have you tried to use a material like Speedfan monitoring tool.
  SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips

  But back to the energy saver. In the eve of power configuration, you should try to the CPU for auto control method and try to change the processor, the speed of processing and cooling method.

  Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop. It is important for the circulation of fresh air.

• Backlight broken in Satellite A100-405

  Last weekend, my laptop screen remained black never work again. I tried to find a new backlight, but I heard that it is not possible to order this. Maybe it is? Anyone know the part number? There is quite a price difference... a backlight or a new screen.

  Thanks a lot for your help

  Hi, Gerda

  This does not sound well :(
  Your problem could be related to the defective inverter FL, faulty display or graphics card.
  As the previous user have said, try to connect the laptop to the external monitor to see if the graphics card is defective or only the FL inverter / internal display.

  In both cases, the defective part must be replaced, and I think that you would need external assistance of a technician for laptop.

  So, don t waste time and ask ASP for help.
  If you warranty is valid all should be done for free!

  Best regards and good luck

• Satellite A100-405: after ranging from sleep USB devices will work

  When I bought my laptop about a month ago, I received a message on the peek at the energy of usb hub (I hope it's the right translation, because I have a Dutch version) whenever I have start from standby mode.
  On the windows site, he said that you can turn off this message, so I did.
  But now when I start the laptop to sleep, my usb devices no longer work.

  Can someone please help me solve this problem. Or can someone tell me if it is a hardware problem that can't be solved by returning the laptop for Toshiba?

  Hello

  You must update the BIOS again! There is a new version 5.20 !

  This should fix any problems that may occur after the update to version 5.10 of Bios.

  Please come back and to report if this procedure has helped or not! Good bye
