• 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?

• Satellite A100-495 - Intel 3945abg wireless network card cannot find wifi networks

  Greetings,

  I have some problems with networks wireless on my laptop Satellite A100-495.

  The problem is: my wireless adapter (intel / pro 3945abg) doesn't seem to find wireless networks. If I portable place very close to my router wireless (such as 1 m) - connection can be established. If I move away (~ 5 m)-no connection or 'very bad' quality and constantly broken. Other notebooks I've tried still have "very good" quality at the same range.

  This happens with other routers as well. And I can not any sign of wi - fi in my Uni (my colleagues have no problem with their machines).

  I tried to play up with some parameters. Reinstalled adapter. Downloaded the latest drivers. Nothing helps.

  A tip? Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Something like that happened to me a long time ago.
  I used the Wlan configuration option to own Windows. For several months, I use the Intel Proset configuration utility to establish the WiFi connection!
  It works!

  In addition, I have disabled the power Wlan option in the Wlan card properties save and adjust the intensity of the signal at top. I remember, in the advanced properties, you can find the 802.11 option preamble. The value is Long and short on my laptop.

• Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

  Hey guys.

  I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

  Now, I have the following two issues:

  (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

  (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

  Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

  Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

  If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

  Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
  Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
  Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

• How to Exchange screen cracked on Satellite A100-495

  Hi all

  My sister gave me his Satellite A100-495 to repair broken screen. Now, I am looking for an instruction open Notepad and replace the TFT, but I can't find one?
  Someone who could give me a link?
  (And Yes, I know not to risk... ;-))

  KR, komo

  Dear KOMO

  Please don't get me wrong but replacing the screen is quite complicated, and for that you need some manuals with accurate description how do. Unfortunately this document isn't public and you do not download.

  So the question is what to do now. As Akuma has already written you can Google around and maybe find something, but you have to understand that everything you do is at your own risk. Maybe you should seek professional help. It is better to pay a little bit and it will be well and properly. No you don't have to do this a Toshiba service.

  Check all possibilities and try to find the best deal.

  In any case, good luck!

• Wi - Fi dies in Satellite A100/002 with Vista Business 64-bit

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite A100/002 with Windows Vista 64 - bit Enterprise edition. My Wi - Fi died shortly after a random time. When I try to search for a wireless network, he found nothing. The only working solution is to restart the computer, and then it works fine until it dies again.
  I have updated the Wi - Fi drivers but it didn't solve my problem.

  It's really annoying especially when I play any game online.
  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Have you updated the BIOS? Check the Toshiba site for a newer version.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Also try an update of the firmware of the router. You can find it on the site of the factory.

  Last but not least, you must disable the security features of the router for the test. I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far.

  Also, make sure that the option of the energy-saving WLAN card is disabled:

• How to use the recovery on the Satellite A100-192 with 2 partitions CD

  I have a satellite a100-192 with 100 GB hard drive.
  When I bought it I used magic norton 8.0 partion to divide the disk into two partitions, c drive (used for files of program and other things; 20 GB) and d ' drive that I use for all my documents, music, videos and similar stuff...

  and now, because of a few bad shots, I made (the software bad... lol) I want to reinstall windows. and honestly, I have no idea how to proceed. what I mean, I don't know what cd to use (I have two CD when I bought the computer), in fact I guess that's the one with ms a note on it, but how to do it safely without losing all my data on the d drive?

  The problem is that I did a lot of relocations on desktop computers when you hava clean facilities and then I know what I'm doing, but I have no experience with bundled windows installations.

  Hello

  Usually, Toshiba laptops are supplied with a Toshiba restore CD.
  On this CD, you will find the image of Toshiba which contains all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

  The question is what CD image you received.
  Some people here in the forum suggested that, since January 2006 the Toshiba Recovery CD supports another recovery procedure. The new recovery CD does not support the ghost but the surface RECO and it s not possible to choose the partition for the installation of the OS.
  In this case the whole HARD disk will be deleted and you will lose all your partitions.

  I have only one old recovery CD and so I can't say if it is possible to choose the right partition. It was possible on the old recovery cd by selecting the expert mode.

  In my view, that should make a backup of you all important files before you begin the recovery procedure.

• Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

  Hello

  cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
  Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

  Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

  First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
  After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

  Simple disc burning layer without problem.

  Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
  Thank you
  Luci

  Hello

  tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

  I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

  Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

• Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

  Hello!

  My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
  First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

  Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
  (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

  What can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

  1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

  2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9E) - Cannot install the display driver for Windows 7

  I have a problem with installing official Toshiba Windows 7 x 32 ATI x 1600 driver.

  After unpacking it should run install.exe, I think, but it's not; nothing happens. Go on the Setup.exe with installation manual, then I see no Catalyst Control Center & Display Driver from the list, just the catalyst install Manager & vcredist. After installing these components (CCC & DD) are not present.

  Any ideas?

  P.S. Same problem with the official driver of Toshiba Vista32 ATI x 1600.

  Hi mate,

  You have already installed other drivers for the laptop? I mean the chipset driver, this driver must be installed first.
  And are you sure that you have ATI display driver? Some Satellite A100 models were shipped with the nVidia graphics card, AFAIK.

  Moreover, what happens if you install driver manual in device via advanced installation manager?

• Satellite A100-253 - question on the display, the sound and LAN drivers

  After getting a fresh installation (windows XP) on my Satellite A100-253, I thought that I needed the latest drivers. Apperently the drivers from the Toshiba site are obsolete or do any work.
  Here are my problems:

  -Display drivers is not installed at all. Instead, I installed the Catalyst drivers from another site but the resolution will not go higher then 1280 * 800, where my screen works better @ 1280 * 1024. Where can I get decent display drivers so I can put a normal resolution?
  -J' downloaded audio drivers on the Toshiba site but the sound is worse then it was. Where can I get the best drivers?
  -LAN (no WIFI) drivers on the Toshiba site seem to only have a uninstall.exe. Where can I get for my local network actual installation files?

  Thanks for the help in advance.

  Hello!

  1. drivers you can get on the site of Toshiba or live production.
  Where did you download the drivers?
  Maybe a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  2. it of the same as point 1; Toshiba or directly to manufacturing.
  But don t forget a notebook is not an entertainment system, and if you want high quality sound you need external speakers.

  3. this package contains the actual installation files, but you must install them manually. This may make you in the device, right click on LAN card Manager and update the driver.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 reboot with USB

  I have a new laptop satellite A100. I installed 2 device (modem ADSL and Webcam).
  I can't reboot my pc with the device, because I have a black screen. The hard drive does not work,
  and SO does not start.
  SO, if I reboot reboot without device, start corretely.

  Can you tell me why? and what I have to do?

  Thank you.

  Hello Pippo

  I noticed the same thing. If the USB memory key is attached to the unit needs a lot of time to start. Once I wait about 20 minutes, but if I remove the key USB the unit will start immediately.

  Believe me, that I tested it with four different Toshiba notebooks and everywhere that I got the same result. I put really know why this is happening but maybe you can try to use the USB hub with own power supply.

  Satellite A100 is a fairly new unit and I don t think that there is a problem with the operating system. The fact is that all the USB ports don't external devices of t with the same power supply. Sometimes may happen this work one device on a port USB port but not if you are connecting to another.

  As I said, you can try with USB hub.

• Satellite A100-683 with Win 7 - screen brightness adjustment does not work

  Hello

  I have a model of Satellite A100-683 PSAA9E with Win 7

  My problem is that I don't have a brightness in my dashboard-> laptop Center

  I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

  I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

  Please help me!
  Sorry for my English mistakes.

  Hello

  The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
  I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
  After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
  Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
  It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
  After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

  Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

  Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
  Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

• German satellite A100-411 with OS-> I would like an English OS

  On a recent business trip to Germany, my laptop died just before an important series of meetings. I bought a laptop in a local shop, and of course, the operating system is in German.

  My German is OK, but life would be easier if I could get the OS to work in English. Is there a way I can change the language of the OS (regional options do not work in the control menu) or I have to have a full OS to re - install?

  The recovery disc supplied with the machine is not language options, until I get another Toshiba? The model is a Satellite A100-411, model No. PSAARE-O4POOMGR.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  It of certainly not possible to change the language of the OS and you will need to purchase a new English version of your OS.

  In the regional option which is placed the Control Panel provide only a language provision of the keyboard or time zone change, etc, but it will not change the language of the OS.
  This was not possible under XP and I guess that it s is no longer possible on the Vista operating system.
