  Hello to omak

  Problem s that this key at the bottom isn't for the activation of the OS and this is the license for the original Windows Toshiba version offers with this laptop.

  If you are using clean install of Windows XP Home edition, you must use the key to legal license for this version.

  Hello Vincent

  I have the Satellite M70 with the same screen. I use it extensively almost 4 years now and display still works perfectly.
  Hardware failure is nothing exceptional for all electronic products. On some of them, some components are working longer. There is no general statement about it.

  Please contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and talk with them. Pick up information on the repair and costs.

  Sorry, but everything what s that I can say on this issue of the display. :(

• Crackling on Satellite A100-709

  Hello
  I have PC notebook Toshiba Satellite A100-709.
  I just installed Windows XP Home Edition of original home Toshiba Recovery CD and all microsoft updates.
  I downloaded the latest Sound driver and update the bios of Toshiba Web site for this laptop.

  I updated the bios and installed its driver for "Realtek HD Sound Card Driver".
  During sound playback sound crackling is heard independently on source (.mp3, .vaw, sound diffusion).
  Sound crackling is light from the speakers and the headphones.

  It is interesting that when I started Live Linux (Knoppix version) on this machine, the sound was clear.
  Support cannot help me, they don't know what is happening.

  Please could you help me solve this problem?

  Much thanks

• Satellite A100: Recovery DVD does not work

  I want to restore my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop to its original factory condition, but the DVD that comes with the package of recovery does not work...

  I have load to start computer press F12, and it starts on the DVD. It says "Loading RAMDISK Image", after which I am told by Toshiba customer service there should be options to clean up the hard drive or restore Windows XP.

  However, after VIRTUAL disk, I see a cursor on a black screen, and then the laptop off and restarts. After the connection, NO CHANGES made...

  What is the problem with that? How can I really use this recovery DVD?
  Someone help me please.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The recovery procedure is not difficult.
  Just try to boot from the recovery CD or DVD and follow the Guide on the screen line.

  Your problem is very strange. You have created all the partitions on the HARD drive?
  I put really t know why your recovery CD doesn't work properly, but I think you should try to completely format the disk (also partitions), then try to boot from the recovery CD.

  Don't forget that the laptop is in the boot mode. (don t mix the standby or hibernation mode)

• Of Satellite A100 CD/DVD drive does not write CD

  My A100 running Vista cannot burn CD whatever CD I insert for registration, do not see it A100. DVD burning is OK. Weird and irritating. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Don t use Roxio program to burn the CD.
  Use Nero! It of much better! I also use it and I m very happy.

  I noticed that Roxio modifies the registry key, and so sometimes the CD/DVD drive cannot read or burn some mediums.

  Delete the Upperfilter and UpperFilter in this key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

• Re: Satellite A100-1VG - DVD drive disappearing

  Hello

  I have problems with the CD/DVD-RW drive on my Satellite A100-1VG. In fact, from time to time he disappears. It will not work to CDs or DVDs and it does not appear on my computer. The only mention of "Hard disks" in bed Device Manager "FUJITSU MHY2120BH ATA Device", which I think is my DVD player.

  I tried downloading new drivers without result. Unfortunately, my warranty expired, so I can't just kick the Toshiba laptop to be fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you very much in advance.

• Satellite A100-192: screen does not show colors properly

  Hello!

  I just bought a new laptop Satellite A100-192, technology TruBrite screen, and I have a problem with the display of colors and sharpness of the image. For example, the letters that are gray look more or less grey gray and there is not an intense color. Is it because of the model of the laptop or is it possible to fix this? It's a bit disappointing when I try to watch a DVD or even when I read the Web pages... The colors are not consistent...

• Problems with ADSL modem Satellite A100 - isuser.dll might not be installed

  I tried in vain to install two different modems for ADSL on a Satellite A100 (running Vista).
  I started by uninstalling the drivers on the computer and then install the new 32-bit drivers from the manufacturers Web sites. (Tompson ST330 and Alcatel 330).

  Installation always seems to be going well until the end of the process, when he said that he did not and suggested that I call my ISP.

  It seems odd that two separate modems, made by different manufacturers do not reach a similar to the installation point.

  I know that the usb cable, filter, cable, modem and line are all ok, as if I unplug the modem to my laptop and connect it to my desktop (XP), the desktop can connect to the Internet without any problems.

  At this point, I got an error message that says "an installation support file that c:\...\_isuser.dll could not be installed - Access denied. "SpeedTouch PPP adapt."

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  > I did uninstall the drivers on the computer and then install the new 32-bit drivers from the manufacturers Web sites.

  CA? It's really difficult to understand what exactly you were doing! Why did you deleted the drivers from the laptop and then installed all drivers from the manufacturers Web sites? And that the drivers have been removed?

  The entire description confuses me?  :|

  However, in my opinion, is there something wrong with the system files. The simple and the best way to solve this problem is; Recover the laptop with the CD after the operating system configuration and recovery Toshiba around trying to install the ADSL modem as shown in the modem manual!

  Install all 3 third-party applications or drivers after installing the CD recovery because of the bad influence!

• Satellite A100-784 (PAAANE) could not find XP drivers - unknown devices

  Please, I need your help.

  I bought 4 days ago, that a laptop Toshiba, detailed spec is attached (Satellite A100-768, dual core) and with it the Vista system with directx 10. I was not satisfied of how things work on this system (there is no game that worked on this NFS3, NF CARBON, ST LEGACY) so I decided to reinstall the system and put XPSP2, and I did.

  Now, I was aware that I need to find drivers, so I looked on the site, and I have not found an exact match with the model, so I download drivers for the Satellite A100-S8111TD (American toshiba site) but only for sound, blue tooth, hotkey, utilities, and so, but only for the wireless driver I don't have (50megs Hugh via modem 50 kbit / s).

  Also, I downloaded the Intel drivers for the motherboard and card graphics, and everything works fine, BUT!
  One of the problems out, driver for sound card does not work - installation of the driver is fine, but it does not start.

  In Device Manager, there are 3 question mark and the other! brand of sound card, that it is said that cannot start, code 10.
  3? the brands are for the network adapter, Ethernet, mass storage<- what="" drivers="" that="" i="" need="" to="" download="" to="" get="" reed="" off="">

  One of the drivers that I downloaded did something in the command prompt window, and I suspect that he flashed the BIOS and now I have error of TPM. This module of TPM, I found in the Security tab in the Bios, but I can't change, it wouldn't let me.
  And yet one thing, again, no game wouldn't start, what's happening

  Please, give me advice, I'm desperate

  Thank you for your comments.
  Keep in touch.

  I could send a picture of a problem to any mail if necessary

  Hello

  First of all, you can also try to download the drivers of Toshiba Europe page.
  There are also various series A100 XP drivers.

  In any case, I guess the sound does not work because the wrong driver XP has been installed.
  Different series A100 supports different sound cards.

  As far as I know that your device A100-784 supports the audio Realtek ALC 861 HD sound card.
  That's why you use the Realtek driver.

  The phone also supports a code name of the PM Express Chipset Intel 945 CalistogaPM + ICH7-M. I recommend you to install the Intel chipset diver. You can find it on the Intel page.

  Question marks appear in Device Manager, because you need compatible drivers!
  I guess you need the driver for LAN and WLan card.

  The laptop uses Intel 82562GZ (Ekron) LAN card and, therefore, you need to find the driver that support this chip!
  I'm not sure on the map of Wi-Fi but it seems that it s an Atheros WLan card.

  Like I said above try the drivers from different series A100 and goggle more for 3 third-party drivers.

  Good luck

  There must be something wrong with the OS files or registry entries.
  Maybe some background process cannot be closed and therefore the shutdown process does not

• Satellite A100: Crossover Cable does not work

  I have a laptop TOSIHBA SATELLITE A100
  I tried to connect my laptop to another computer by Cable Crossover
  and he wasn't wotking, the sign (X) appeared to me as if the cable was not plugged.

  Note that (when I put my cable DSL ' it works well on the net)
  to know that I tried this cable with the other compuers, and it worked fine.

  Hello

  Strange?  :|
  I think that it s certainly not a physical LAN port problem because as you have already said the ADSL cable works fine.

  You have the right settings TCP/IP to connect to the other computer?
  Both computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must set the IP fix, the subnet mask and the gateway!

  Also, try to remove the map LAN device manager and restart the laptop.
  After the new reboot the OS must load the required drivers and should recognize the card even once.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 - 01 Q does not start

  Hello together,

  I have a strange problem with my Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop startup - 01 Q. It starts to boot, the line (on the Toshiba slashscreen) moves along so far, but not in the end - and that's all. It stucks about 75% of startup (mouse initialized is the last message). Then, won't boot Windows, will not meet the suggested two Boot options (F2 or f12).

  The fan works, power led then and cd player drove a... that's all. I can't access the bios. Keyboard does not respond. The only way I could stop that the laptop was in making 3 dry on powerbutton tric. If someone knows if it is a hardware failure or something else please let me know.

  I have red some forum discussions. Could be the solution a cmos reset? If it is so, please let me know how to do this.

  Warranty has expired and I don't want to buy a new laptop.

  Please help me!

  Hello

  You are able to access the BIOS?

  If the laptop freezes at the beginning while the Toshiba start screen appears generally then it would mean that the power on self-test cannot be passed, which means that it has detected a hardware problem on the motherboard.
  For example, a RAM problem may be the reason why not to pass the POST (power on self-test)

  Well, it's hard to tell what the best option for you before you sell it for peanuts. you could ask a technician for laptop for an audit may be only some cheap is defective and the fix would be cheap

• Satellite A100: internal microphone does not work

  Well well, my type cell phone (or so it is said) is a Satellite A100, I have everything (I think) works fine, but it is only when I try to use my built-in mic phone the problem starts, it won't work!

  It is said there is a built-in microphone, but the bar will not move as he cannot hear my voice, even when I'm screaming! I tried on msn thinking it was a small problem, but he said that had heard no noise!

  It worked fine when I plugged my microphone in my webcam installed, but the problem is now, my older brother was and broken than microphone and I wanted that my only integrated to work but is not!

  He said that the microphone is a Realtek audio HD with SRS, so I need to know if anyone can help me with this? Please?

  Hello

  Could you post a detailed laptop Satellite A100-xxx name?
  It would be very interesting to know if the laptop supports an internal microphone or not.

  To my knowledge, some of the A100 don t support the internal mic and that is why you should use the external mic
