Satellite A100-768 - problem of backlight after BIOS upgrade

• Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

  Kind of tech swavy, I know that my chances are very low to solve this but this is.

  I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).

  I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on linux with the latest BIOS.
  The installation is completed normally (went through all the steps, wrote to all 21 blocks) without any error, but after the reboot, I noticed that it is now displayed at the Toshiba logo screen.

  The blue progress bar moves twice but got caught then about 1/3 of the way through.
  To see how bad the damage was, I Press esc at the beginning of the POST and saw that it gives me the right Version of the BIOS (6.00).

  He also told me that "no TPM or TPM has problem" and "2039 M RAM Passed system."
  It then displays the message "Press to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappears, but otherwise doesn't do anything.

  If I press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after an hour of waiting.
  (Which makes sense, because before the bar blue everything would load before entering the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS is not really "freeze", it gets stuck just at a specific place (I know because I can press F2 even after an hour of waiting and the laptop meets it by displaying "Please Wait".)

  Someone at - it no more things I could try? Thank you

  PS. I tried clearing CMOS too.

  It of very long history and it does not sound good

  > I decided to update the BIOS on my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7 (PSAA8C-TA702C) to the latest version available (6.00).
  I wonder about your BIOS version that I know, that the laptop series is designed for the Canadian market. It s a Canadian series and the BIOS or drivers should be downloaded from the Canadian site of Toshiba!
  Bad BIOS could cause issues like this it describes your message above!

  > I did it because I've heard of people have better luck doing their job of FN keys on Linux with the latest BIOS.
  Keys FN Toshiba need driver Toshiba and it turns out that Toshiba driver pages don t offer the drivers for Linux distributions, so I put t believe in the story spread by any people.

  I don t want to write a long story, so I would cut this now;
  Is that something was happening during the BIOS update process.
  Either you have used a procedure to update the BIOS or wring wrong and so the laptop can not pass the MESSAGE

  You will need to contact the local ASP to solve this problem, maybe you're a lucky guy and the technician should Flash the ROM module but in the worst cases, your motherboard is damage and must be replaced. :(

  Good luck

• Memory allocated for mobility radeon on Satellite A100-768 graphics card

  Hello, I am french and I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-768,
  graphics memory of my lapto is like this:

  Graphics processor / vendor: ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 HyperMemory to 512 MB - PCI Express x 16
  Video memory: DDR SDRAM - 128 MB
  Maximum allowed size of RAM: 384 MB

  I am looking for the location of the adjustment of the exclussive of 384 MB RAM) I want to change this amount (in fact it is 384 and I want to reduce to 128 or 0 in order to keep only the 128 MB) I looked in the bios and I found nothing

  Thank you and excuse my English

  Hello

  It is not possible.
  As far as I know, you cannot change this value manually.
  The graphics card controls the HyperMemory and assigns this value automatically.

  If you want to have more RAM (main memory) and then update the modules of memory on your laptop
  2 GB (2 x 1024MB) are recommended.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-768: processor upgrade?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite a100-768
  is it possible to upgrade the processor?
  I would buy a cpu merom and install this one...
  or is the processor soldered to the motherboard?

  Kind regards
  brechtvm

  Hello

  The answer is no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

  By the way: A100 is one of the latest devices and I don t understand why you want to swap the CPU. Why you didn t buy best camera has better CPU performance?

  As much as I know this laptop supports Intel Pro 100 Lan and WiFi Intel 3945ABG card card

  Please visit the European driver Toshiba page again and download the compatible network driver and the driver WLan.
  Unpack the packages, then install it.

• Windows vista on the Satellite A100-036 problems

  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  4. everytime I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I put in market or the automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  5. sometimes it does not install the automatic updates and it shows me Error 8000FFFF.
  Could someone help me? Thank you.

  > 1. they replaced the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?
  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  > 2. The touchpad scrolling does not work everytime I turn on the laptop. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver.

  > I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.
  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  > 3. Whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

  Please check this: [turn auto update or disable | http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-automatic-updating-on-off#turn-automatic-updating-on-off=windows-vista]
