• Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

  Hello

  I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

  I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

  Best regards
  pawelg

  Hi pawelg,

  I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

  By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

• Satellite A100 (PSAA8) - Cannot play most of the games

  Hello

  my laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA8) cannot run most games like call of duty... I wonder if I can get a more powerful vga card and install it. Is this possible? And what I can get to the Middle East (Egypt).

  Other improvements I need to increase its performance?

  Hello

  Unfortunately the video card cannot be improved. Only you can do is upgrade RAM, optimize the preinstalled operating system and play games that need power of video not so much.

  Also try to play games with video settings below. Sorry, but that's all I can say about it.

• Cannot reload, cannot function without a battery - Satellite PSAGCG A305-S6898

  Hi, friends,.
  I have a similar problem:

  I have a portable Satellite A305 (PSAGCG-S6898).

  Preface:
  The laptop could overheat some time because it was used by my daughter until the problem occurred.

  Oberservations:
  (1) the machine cannot operate until the battery runs out.
  (2) the machine can not work with AC adapter connection but without battery. (what is a standard problem?)
  (3) it seems that the battery (new or old) can not be charged, but battery LED is still orange color, since after several hours of charge, I start

  the computer and it will stop automatically after a few seconds when I press the power on button.

  My questions:
  Where is the problem? the charger or the load in hunting circuit?
  Why the machine cannot operate with only (but without battery) AC adapter connector? Many other laptops, like Dell, they can run with AC adapter / CC

  connection only.

  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated at: [email protected]

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all, it should be possible to use the laptop only be connected to the power adapter (without the battery). My Toshiba laptop two for this.

  In my opinion you have a hardware problem maybe it's something wrong with electronic power on the mobo's.
  It turns out that your battery is not, and you can't run the laptop connected to the main only
  That is why it s smells like a hardware problem

  In this case, you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner). The parts must be checked

• Satellite A100-383 does not - the battery is not

  Hi all

  I own a satellite A100-383 (PSAARE) that does not start when the battery is totally empty, or if I leave without the battery of the day to the next. The battery will charge not façade is and all the lights are off. I should always have a load on my battery and don't let not unplugged more than 2 days.

  If for some reason, my battery was completely empty, Plug and unplug the power supply from the wall outlet would make all the lights increase and charge the battery again.

  Unfortunately, I went on vacation and I forgot my pc unplugged and it does not charge or turn on. ? The headlights are off. Tried my dear old method to connect the unit several times with battery and without it with no luck... I could see a connection for a second or two, but I wasn't fast enough to plug in and they are off.

  I would be so grateful to you all if you give me a help to put it on my pc. Once I have it on the load and back I'll buy a new battery for sure.

  I look forward to reading your advice.

  Thank you all in advance!

• How to set the Satellite A100-596 to factory without Recovery DVD settings

  I gave my young niece of my old laptop A100-596 for Christmas.
  It worked perfectly on Christmas Eve I packed it upward, in packing of origin, but at the time my niece connected on it has lost 40 GB of data among the drives C and E - everything E drive and the dvd drive had stopped working!

  Now, no one has any explanation for what is happening, nor any reason why a laptop that has performed flawlessly for 18 months would suddenly lose 3/4 of the data on it, but whatever!

  So now I want to restore it to factory, but without a job settings dvd, how? I have all disks involved in perfect condition!
  In addition, I want to fool proof so it can be retrieved in case the person or nothing damaged, this time he cannot repeat the action.

  So I think that if I partition the hard drive so that the recovery of files is accessible by me with a password, which I will NOT share with any of the children, if they bumble once again, then I will be able to recover.

  Moreover, even restoring the system files have disappeared, so I can't even it roll back to a working condition!

  Any advice?

  Hello

  You wrote so much and I think it's the best we descuss all questions slowly.

  I don't know what you mean under non-working DVDs. Is the drive defective optical drive or media DVD is not readable?

  Anyway, the fact is that if you want to have the factory again settings you must install operating system using Toshiba DVD recovery. If you don't have it you can do clean OS installation using the Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads.

  When you use recovery media Toshiba HARD whole disc will be erased. Absolutely everything. All data and partitions.
  What you want to do with recovering data unfortunately will not work. You cannot copy the recovery image and start it from the other partitions. Not on Satellite A100.

  On new A300, something like this is possible because the recovery image is stored on the second partition in folder HDDRecovery.

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

• Satellite A100-294: cannot change the built-in RAM module?

  The integrated RAM (512 MB) of my Satellite module problems (based on memtest86) and the machine was freezing all the time. It is under warranty, so I got to the store I bought.

  They told me that they send the machine to Toshiba AC because it will probably be a new mainboard to correct the problem, since the DIMM is permanently attached to the Board and cannot be changed as all the regular module DIMM.

  Is this true? Is the 512 MB of RAM the machine is supplied with, physically inseparable from the motherboard?

  Hello

  As much as I know doses Satellite A100-294 does not in charge of the internal memory!
  The unit simply uses the memory DDR2-533 modules that are removable.
  The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit and it s easy to reach.

  But maybe the head technicians would like to take a look at this motherboard and therefore the ASP had to send this book to the Toshiba headquarters

• Satellite 4000CDT: I can use without battery?

  Hello

  There, I'm new on this forum and you can use the Toshiba Satellite 4000CDT without the battery and if so, how?

  Hey Buddy,

  What do you mean "no battery"? You just want to use the machine without battery? Feel free to do that, where´s the problem...

  Simply plug an adapter into your machine and to the wall outlet and that's all. But be careful and Don t disconnect the AC whihle work with the machine, without the battery, the system then no longer exists and you can lose some important data.

• Satellite A100-599 - cannot install the driver for nVidia GeForce Go 7600 graphics card

  Greetings to all!

  Try to install the driver for Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 after reinstallation of the entire system, but without success. Only safe mode is available after this pilot plant, tried with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 and with different drivers from Nvidia and Toshiba sites - same result always :(

  Hey,.

  > but without success.
  Does that mean exactly? You get an error during installation or what exactly is going on?

  > Only safe mode is available after the installation of this driver
  Why only safe mode is available? What happens if you start Windows in normal mode?

  And before you start a lengthy discussion: what laptop do you have?

  You may notice no problem if you install Windows recovery disk Toshiba?

• Satellite A100 boot cannot

  Good day to all,

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A100, the problem is when I turned on the device, the HARD drive cover blinks and then a few seconds, it going off. And then it end here only the battery and covers ac indicators are on. Can someone here help me please...

  Thank you

  Hmm. It s definitely a hardware problem.

  What part does not work properly? Well, I'm 90% sure that there is something wrong with the motherboard probably the graphics chip. But to be 100% sure, you should plug the external monitor to the laptop to make sure this isn't a default internal display.

  In any case, I think that it of clear that it is a hardware problem and in this case only the laptop technician can help.

  I put t know if you warranty is valid but you must contact the ASP in your country and should ask the later handling.

  I wish you good luck

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-991 - cannot boot from USB device

  My Satellite A100-991 (MS Windows XP MCE, SP3) does not start from a USB key or USB hard drive. The same USB devices are bootable if they are connected to a desktop computer or a laptop from other manufacturers. I put the USB as the first boot device and use an image "Bart PE" on my USB device.

  In fact, I have installed 2.10 Phoenix Bios version and I wonder if I could update the BIOS by using the 'sa105v21.exe' program and that this would resolve the startup problem.

  Hello

  Have you tested different USB keys? I think that your current USB key is not compatible
  Also test the USB to different USB ports. A port may be defective for the computer to start t with him.

  Theoretically, you can try upgrading the BIOS but don t forget s a bit more risky and it should be the last step.
  Prior to this, load default settings in the BIOS and check if you can boot from USB.

• Satellite A100 PSAA8C - cannot install Power Saver

  Hello

  I reformatted my laptop toshiba Satellite A100 PSAA8C SK800C today and I was expecting to download all the drivers and install them.

  However, when I download the 'power saver' among the official website of toshiba, I was not able to install.
  Not only that I can not install it, nothing pop out when I click on the zip file CONFIGURATION icon.

  I have already installed all drivers for the laptop computer.

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you
  ~.~

  Hi mate

  You said:
  > However, when I download the 'power saver' among the official website of toshiba, I was not able to install.

  First of all this laptop seems to belong to the Canadian series of Toshiba and if you want to use any tools Toshiba, then you will have to download it from the page of the Canadian driver Toshiba!

  In addition, you can choose the drivers and tools exactly for the PSAA8C series.
  In many cases, you will not be able to use the tools that are designed for other series!
  We must therefore be sure that power saver downloaded has been released for the series PSAA8C.

• Re: Satellite A100-410 cannot start Windows XP

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-410 and I can't start over (in safe mode ok). When starting, it shows the XP screen and after 10 seconds, the screen goes black. We have re-installed XP but no use. We checked again and assume that something is wrong with the video card drivers.

  So we checked for the last but no use. I can boot the laptop when the video card is uninstalled, so it takes to cause something weird.
  Or could it be that the card is broken?

  Hello.

  For sure your video card is ok, otherwise you may see white screen after switching on. The problem is in the driver problem. Have you downloaded the Toshiba site display driver?
  Maybe there is a conflict of driver. This site http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=7&evp=c14f9f3787877ee f9ef4b235b9146e96 stage
  Download and install. Then try to reinstall the display driver (if not work, do it in safe mode).

  If she's not always you help, do a search for a new iso Windows Xp but not Windows assembly (some guys like to change windows, deleting and adding some files, and then load it. Most of these modified versions are bad).

  That's all I can suggest now, sorry if does not work.

• 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.
