Satellite A100-590 and A100-480 motherboards even?

Hello.

Where can I find information on the types of motherboard used in laptops from Toshiba?

Due to a BIOS issue, I have the opportunity to send my laptop in for repair or change the motherboard by myself.

Now the question:
Is it possible to change the motherboard of the A100-590 with the A100-480?
They are identical (except maybe graphics card, processor installed...)?

Thanks in advance

Hello

> Where to find information on the types of motherboard used in laptops from Toshiba?
Perhaps you could find some info on the internet, but these details are mentioned only in maintenance manuals, and these documents are not:(pour usage public)

> Due to a BIOS problem, I have the opportunity to send my laptop in for repair or change the motherboard by myself.
I would not recommend doing so. The motherboard is perhaps not damage and only the ROM module must be flashed again with special BIOS.

Satellite A100-590 belongs to the PSAA9E and the A100-480 also belongs to the same series. So I guess that both motherboards are the same.

  • Satellite A100-480 - need Bridge Media slot driver for Windows 7

    Hallo,

    I need a "5-in-1 Bridge Media slot' DRIVER for Windows 7 64 bit. I can't find someone.
    My Notebook: Satellite A100-480

    Thank you

    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 ;)

  • Satellite A100-803 - motherboard problem

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-803, two years ago and now I can't turn on the PC.
    We check the laptop and the problem is on the motherboard.

    Anyone know who is motherboard´s ID? Thank you

    Hello

    The motherboard is Toshiba.
    You must use motherboards manufactured for Satellite/Satellite Pro/Equium A100.

    So you can use google to get a new motherboard, or you can request an ASP for help.
    You can order the partner service authorized in your country but new mobo mobo costs a small fortune.

  • Satellite A100-811 T5600 processor upgrade > T7600

    Hello world!

    I have old Toshiba Satellite A100-811 (motherboard: Capell Valley (NAPA) CRB based on Intel 945 GM Express chipset, BIOS: Phoenix 6.00 upgrade) and I would like to replace processor for latest. My current CPU is Core 2 Duo T5600 @1. 83 GHz, Socket 479mPGA. I would like to install the Core 2 Duo T7600 @ 2.33 GHz. According to the website of Intel, are compatible with 945 GM and socket 479mPGA T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479.

    link to the specifications: http://ark.intel.com/products/27257/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7600-4M-Cache-2_33-GHz-667-MHz-FSB

    I like to make sure if T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479 will cooperate with this laptop.

    It would be a great help if you could give me some advice and confirm if it will be good choice :-)

    Mariusz

    No one will be able to tell if this new CPU would work correctly with this laptop because upgrades processors are not supported by one of the manufacturers of mobile phones.

    But from my own experience, updates are possible, sometimes.
    If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running.
    But I m not very good on the BIOS is supported, but usually, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Satellite A100-590 does not fuel upward, that a single LED works

    Hello Toshiba-Crew,

    first of all I want to say sorry if you don't understand some parts of my text, but my English isn't the best more :(

    As explained in the topic I have a Satellite A100-590. I got it as a gift from my father-in-law after the A100-590 no longer works and he bought another new laptop because the customer terrible service from Toshiba.
    As much as I want to try if someone of you can help me.

    Now to point to the problem of my A100-590.
    It worked very well for my father-in-law for about a year. Then all of a sudden it no longer turns.

    The only thing that happens is the power led (the one in the middle of the five) flashes, when the power cord is connected and the power button is pressed. This light flashes 10 times and that's all that happens.
    It flashes only when the power cord is not plugged in, if only the battery is put in.

    I mention that the battery is totally empty, because the Satellite has not been used for about a year and a half now.
    The A100-590 was sent to Toshiba already, but the only thing Toshiba has done has been to send everything back one put a paper in that the motherboard needs to be changed and it would cost around 650.

    I think they don't even look at the satellite, I know that from my other computer laptop manufacturer too.
    It seems as if changing the motherboard is the best way to repair a laptop. FS said it too, but it was only one my card WIFI which was broken.

    Maybe someone of you had an idea of what might be wrong with the Satellite?
    I think this isn't a big thing, but does not fit my technical knowledge of the laptop.

    Kind regards
    Basti

    First you need to isolate the problem to the motherboard.

    Try to swap the memory modules around and try to start with a single Module, try the other location.

    If you can access the Wifi card, remove and see if it boots.

    If it still fails, then its likely to be a faulty motherboard or video card if the laptop has a.

  • Satellite A100-590 - cannot install the display driver for Win7

    I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine except for the display drivers.
    I downloaded the drivers win7/32 bit here: [here | http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 115970 ie] but when I try to install, extract the files and then nothing happens.

    Does anyone else have this problem or even better a solution? all other drivers will work on this laptop?

    Edit: the graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600

    Extract the files in a new folder created. Open it and use setup.exe.
    What happens when you start it manually using setup.exe?

    Alternatively, you can try to start the installation in the Bin folder.

  • Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

    Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

    And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    P.

    Hello

    I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

    Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Satellite A100-02 b: what cost to repair a motherboard?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-02 b
    The motherboard is faulty.
    What cost to repair?

    Hi mate

    I put t know exactly how it is, but the fact is that if the motherboard is dead then you will have to replace it.
    The motherboard is one of the mobile parts expensive (such as display) and for the new motherboard you would need about 300-350Euros.
    This mobo is not cheap, and you should consider the different possibilities... maybe a laptop second hand or the motherboard would be a better solution

  • Satellite A100 - recovery will not be finished and stop error message occurs

    Satellite A100-S2211TD, OS is Windows XP Home Edition of recovery disk,

    I have updated the BIOS to 2.20 and laptop was working fine. The old installation of Windows factory has worked well.
    After a few weeks, I tried to use the recovery disk to remove the noise from the HARD drive.
    The recovery of disk task completed and the computer restarted.
    I got the stop error message
    STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFA335528, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    I removed the memory that I have entered over the past two years and return the PC in the factory scene.
    However, recovery will not be finished (he worked to restore).

    I am able to boot in dos with a separate boot disk (Dr. back, windows does not start, not even in the safe control mode) and I did chdsk of the disc and disc is fine.

    I've never used before recovery disc, the only thing different is BIOS 2.20 instead of 1.50.
    WEB of TOSHIBA said that if you upgrade the BIOS most 2.00 you can not return to 1. XX

    Hello

    The A100-S2211TD doesn t support the Intel Chipset!
    This laptop was equipped with the ATI graphics card and the graphics driver on the Toshiba page contains us the graphics driver and chipset driver!

    Have you received 100% good recovery CD?

    In your case I would try to install Win XP from the Microsoft CD to check if the same error would appear if no drivers are included in the CD of the OS.

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A100-811. Part number: PSAA8E-0YT026G3, I want to know the motherboard model and price to buy.

    Why you want to know the reference number of the motherboard? You can buy a new, authorized service and they can tell you how expensive it is.

    Don t forget that the laptop parts are specific designed for a series and that means t, you can choose between different motherboards as on desktop computers.

    Hey, Toshiba.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-522 model No. PSAA2E-01C01EED and one of my shift keys
    has broken below, so I can't use it (the small plastic bar to balance the key is broken
    If the key "blockages". Can I send it for repair to the warranty, and Ive talked to the
    seller, but I don't have the time to send it for repair (no laptop replacement in the meantime).

    Is it possible to get a new key and replace it myself? I know that some other laptop producers do the same thing,
    rather than use a lot of time on repairs, if they are too simple.

    Well, it's very easy to replace the keys.
    Please check this thread:

    But if the key is broken you will need to replace the entire keyboard.
    To remove the keyboard, you have to remove the cover plastic thinking above the F keys.
    Under this coverage, you will find 2 crews secure the keyboard
    Remove the two screws and remove the cable from the flat keyboard which is connected to the motherboard.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

    I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

    Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

    In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

    So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

    Could you please post this number and name?

    The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
    My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

    Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    Check this box:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

    In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

    Hello

    I think that the spilled liquid has damaged something on the map.
    Maybe the contact of the Wlan switch is damaged or the fluid cause short-circuit some

    As you can see, it's really not easy to say what's wrong here, but it is certainly something wrong on the motherboard
    I think the laptop must be disassembled and unique pieces like the map of wireless network WLan miniPCI and etc. must be verified
    Of course, this is a job for a technicians...
