Satellite A100-750 WLan speed changes when connected to AC or battery

Hi, my Satellite A100-750 (PSAARE) with Vista Home Premium has this strange behavior: when I use the lan wireless with battery everything works fine
If I connect the power cord that it slows down incredibly although the signal strength remains the same
I've updated the bios and drivers wireless
Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
to 11.5.0.32
2007-12-20

I found a newer driver, but was unable to install it

any suggestion to solve this strange behavior?
Thank you

Hello!

I think that this could be a problem with the option to save energy.
You can check in the power of Vista management, there is an option for the wireless network adapter.

Good bye

  • Satellite A100 - 750 PSAAR, 4 GB of installed RAM, 3 GB of usable RAM

    I just upgraded my Satellite A100-750 of 2x2gb 2x1GB RAM.
    The BIOS recognizes 4 GB RAM
    but the output of said BIOS then "spent 3 GB RAM system".

    My Windows 7 Pro 64 bit OS said it has 4 GB of RAM, but only 3 GB are used.

    How can I use all my 4 GB of RAM?

    It should not be an OS problem but maybe a one BIOS.
    I tried to update my BIOS (now system BIOS version 6.0).
    but without success.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you very much in advance,

    Hello

    In order to use 4 GB RAM three different factors are important.

    (1) BIOS
    (2) chipset
    (3) OS

    You will be able to use 4 GB of RAM if these 3 parts provide support for 4 GB RAM.

    Win 7 64 bit is 4 GB of RAM, so you should check first the capable chipset.
    Check chipset in your laptop computer and research on the Intel page for details if 4 GB of RAM are supported.
    If 4 GB of RAM are supported by the chipset then the BIOS does not appear to provide support for 4 GB.

    This happens each and every time I turn on my laptop with the wireless adapter ON.

    Once again; Your WLan router restarts (reboots) when you turn on the WLan on the A100 Satellite Map. Am I wrong?

    Well, it's strange, but to be honest I n t see a problem with the laptop but with the router. I would recommend controlled again the unique WLan router configuration.

  • Satellite A100-570 slow downs the wide connection band

    I have a laptop Satellite A100-570. I bought this in July antiques.

    Just open the laptop, not even connect to the internet it manages reduce my speed on broadband.
    I know this because I'm doing a test of speed before and after the opening of the laptop using my PC.

    Computer laptop & PC are not yet in the same room!
    The wireless network connection is disabled, disabled 1394 connection and only LAN OK.
    (I use a BT Homehub, connected to my PC).

    My question is: how a laptop computer that is not on the internet brings to BB speeds.
    the laptop is o.k. otherwise.

    Any help appreciated.

    To be honest, the whole story is a little understandable and strange for me.
    Your laptop is connected to the router with a LAN cable or what?

    Sorry but I don't quite understand you. What is the speed with and without a cell phone?

    By the way: did you clean install of the OS before you start using this laptop?

  • Satellite A100-750: how to increase the graphics memory

    Hi all

    I have a question... can I change the amount of memory available for the video card?
    Now the pc with Vista home premium have only 64 MB dedicated for the video card and 271 MB of available system memory and memory system used 0.
    It is possible to Exchange software video memory setting?

    TKS
    concerning
    Fabrizio

    Hello

    Are you sure that your graphics card for laptop supports shared memory?
    AFAIK the A100-750 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go7300 and this card supports own video memory of 64 MB. This isn't shared, memory and so you cannot increase this memory of graphics card on a higher value.

    In this case the graphics card uses the own memory, and the laptop need not share main memory with the graphics card.

  • Satellite A100-998: speakers make noise when it is on current alternative

    Hello, I have a
    Satellite A100-998
    Part number: PSAA9E-0PP044EN

    My speakers make a horrible noise slope high when the laptop is plugged into AC power, but not on battery power. It happens through my integrated sound card, my soundblaster card external as well as the headphones on both ports, and they have all the latest drivers anyway, so the problem is elsewhere. Noise appears on the windows out vague, i.e. all inhibition does not, nothing 'generates' sound as a program that runs in the background.

    Can anyone help? Here is a link to the noise, I recorded with helmet attached to the microphone port, it's quite quiet, you may increase your speakers to hear it. Link: [http://rapidshare.com/files/114859161/noise.mp3.html]

    I guess it's a kind of interference, but I'm a software guy, I don't know about these sorts of things.

    Thank you
    Andy

    I doubt that the software could cause this kind of thing, looks like it could be a problem of ground or a component of the motherboard.

    I take it to a service center and get them at a glance.

  • Fingerprint sensor satellite A100-912 does not correctly when the AC is connected

    I have problem with fingerprint sensor. It works fine on battery, on the current but it is impossible to connect with sensor there error message with yellow question mark of poor quality.

    Hello

    This sounds really weird. If the sensor works well in battery, then it might not be defective. Maybe just a software problem, perhaps with powersaving it s.

    I suggest that you can remove all traces of fingers, remove the software and also to recover your machine to test the problem persists after you perform this action. If so, you must bring the machine to a repair center for a checkup of material.

  • Satellite L500-12F - WLAN speed drops down

    Hello

    I have the troubel with my wireless network. I have the strength of the complete signal, but after a while, the speed drops to 78 of the MBP to 5.5 MBP and it remains there (but), and Yes before you sugest, I tried updating my drivers, even uninstall and install drivers, but to no apparent effect.

    That's what I tried:

    -Check to be able to save the settings
    -Uninstall/install drivers
    -Check the wireless settings
    -The router settings. (my laptop is the newest and the only one to lose speed in the House.) Other laptops maintains a constant speed, it is also the only computer with vista installed)

    (PS: wireless cards / wireless snow effect can?)

    Thanks for the help in advance! :)

    Hi mate,

    I think that it s is not easy to say why this happens, but in the properties of your WIRELESS card with (Device Manager), you can choose wireless mode. Set the value to IEEE 802.11 g wireless network card always uses the fastest speed.

    Also check WLAN channel. You can change it in the properties of the router, another value allows perhaps at a faster speed.

    Options for energy-saving wireless network card must be disabled or let's say together for maximum performance. The wireless network card never recorded engine so that it uses the fastest connection.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know which driver you have installed. From the Toshiba site or another page?
    Last but not least, you should try a BIOS update.

  • Satellite Pro L300: Noise of nasty when connected to your hifi installation comments

    Hi, thanks for reading,

    I just bought a Satellite Pro L300, to use for DJing. I use a Behringer USB mixer, and when I plugged it to the top there is a sound really bad comments coming out of my speakers.

    I tested it in the headphone jack output by connecting the laptop directly to my sound system and I hear the same comments.
    I went to check through troubleshooting and audio driver settings, everything seems fine.

    I thought then he might have been a problem to the ground, so disconnected the power to the laptop and it worked, the Larsen effect stopped. I tried to use a different power supply to an old laptop and the noise starts again.

    Is there anyway that I could solve this problem? I need to run food as the custom of the last battery life long enough while I DJ.

    Thanks in advance

    > so thought that it might have been a problem to the ground, so disconnected the power to the laptop and it worked, the Larsen effect stopped
    I agree with you and Akuma appears that this noise is related to the question of land
    In many cases, different people said they could solve this by using a 3 cable and AC adapter power cord.
    These special adapters can be ordered from the authorized service partner.

  • Satellite C660 2QH WLAN problem--loss of connection all the ~ 30 min

    Hello world

    I just bought a SAT C660 nine Toshiba and I faced a strange problem - I lose the internet connection every 30 minutes for about 3-5 minutes, then it connects all of a sudden again.

    I've been reading about the problem here and I fixed my power settings (although this also occurs when the laptop is plugged in), and I installed the new WLAN driver: 1005.19.0420.2011 (my Wireless LAN Adapter is: 8188CE). I thought that he that could have the problem in my anti-virus program, so I uninstalled. A few restarts later everything was as before - problem persists.

    Help, please!

    PS. I'm from Germany, where this is relevant.

    Hello

    Are you sure this isn't question of Wlan router?
    It would be interesting to know if you have the same problems with other devices connected to the Wlan.

    Next to the idea that this could be a router issue I think you should check some WLan Card settings.
    In the Wlan card-> properties-> tab Device Manager to disable the option to turn off the device to save power.

    You said that you have installed/updated test driver the driver from Realtek page too.

  • Satellite A100: some files are missing when copying DVD on the desktop

    Hello

    Suppose I have 1000 files on a DVD.
    I drag all these files in the desktop, all of a sudden I see this is 920 files.
    If some files are missing.

    What this may be?
    There are no errors. I don't think that something is wrong.
    I initially thought maybe hidden files are counted in the DVD, but not on the desktop?
    Maybe something on the desktop?

    Anyone have any ideas? I tried to put it on 'To see the hidden files' - it's a Toshiba A100.

    I just ran a scan antivirus on this file and it let's say 1500 files analyzed.
    Haha. Antivirus but probably scanned all etc. desktop.ini and Thumbs.db.
    .. And maybe Windows Vista now have those when you want to display the number of files?

  • Satellite A200-28 s becomes black when connection Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 s computer laptop windows vista home edition.
    Recently, when I have the logon screen turns black.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The screen is black only when Vista has been loaded or also when logged in the BIOS too?
    Did you check if you can see something on the external monitor?

    To me, it seems that the video output has been set to external monitor and it's the reason why you n t see anything on the internal screen for laptop.

    Check if you can switch the video output using the FN + F5 key combination
