• Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

  Hi friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
  Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
  Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

  Please help me.
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Julie,.

  It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

  I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

  Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

  My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

• Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

  Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
  DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
  There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
  Home base OEM.

  1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

  2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

  (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
  added package for the most part)?

  4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

  5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
  is deleted?

  Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

  (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

  (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

  (4) see point 3 ;)

  (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings

• I see a different type of shortcuts and desktop.in satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE

  Hi people,

  I have the Satellite A100-784 PSAANE series... with windows Visa basic home edition...
  For the last 10 days or so I don't know, but I see a different type of shortcuts and the desktop.ini files all over the PC!

  I don't understant that...
  There was some new files in existence to which I do not have access! Some shortcuts came over some of my hidden files are out!

  I mean they are seen hidden at all and as recycler or something!
  I don't know what happened... I find the file desktop.ini anywhere...

  Please if anyone knows what happened please answer...

  Thank you very much..

  I hope that my laptop is not crazy!
  Kind regards
  Perkins

  Don t be angry with me, but who needs to know what you did on your laptop?

  Maybe you have something has changed accidentally or installed any 3rd party applications that could have a bad influence on the settings of Vista (Yes, that is possible) or you get any Virus or malware.

  You may be able to see the hidden files and system, because this option has been activated.
  So, try to activate the hide option in the folder options.

  Or you'll flip the BONE to the beginning!

• Satellite A100-784 (PSAANE) - CPU is 100% most of the time

  Hello

  I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-784 and it has Vista Home Basic as the operating system. The CPU is at 100% most of the time, and I don't know what to do more (I've eliminated all unnecessary programs that might have a background process). Sill, form 100% of the CPU, the core load takes 40 to 60% most of the time.
  I thought to install XP to make it work, but after reading the forum is not that simple, due to the fact that the HARD drive can be SATA.

  Can you help me with this situation? I can hardly work on this laptop and I think to change the brand if I don't find a solution to this, even Toshiba is my favorite.
  Thanks for your time answering this problem.

  Kind regards!

  All you have done is just, but you must understand that no one knows here Setup OS and what you've done in the past.
  If you are not satisfied with the way in which your laptop is now running the best thing you can do is to back up all your important data and install Vista using delivered Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs.

  After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again.

• Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - Ram upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).

  I want to improve my system with 2x2gb DDR2 667 MHz Ram.
  When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  Or he will recognize less than 4 GB?

  Is there a link between the ram and 32 bit OS?
  What are your suggestions?

  Thank you.

  > When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  > Or it will recognize less than 4 GB

  You use the 32-bit Windows System. This means that your Windows operating system can recognize 3.2 GB of RAM max. It's max possible RAM for 32-bit systems.

  But as far as I know that it takes in charge max 2 GB of RAM. Has been mentioned in the page manual user 22 and 33

  Hello

  > It's kind of weird because on this model I have on board, Bluetooth means that my Bluetooth on board burned?
  > How can I check if my Bluetooth on board still work?

  First laptop was equipped with BT and the BT should work.
  I see that you have installed the OS manually

  If you want to check if the BT module still works then use the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the new OS. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains and supports all the drivers of Toshiba and after the installation of the new and the laptop back to factory settings switching BT should work using the FN + F8 key combination.

• Satellite A100-784 - connect to the TV via a HDMI cable

  Hi friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE. Its a product abandoned now :-( I wonder if I can connect this laptop with the Sony Bravia LED TV via HDMI cable.
  I'm not able to find if the laptop is compatible for it.

  Please help me a way to find a solution to connect the led TV and how to do it? Please also help with the cables needed for the same thing.

  Sorry guys, I'm quite naïve HDMI company.

  Thanks for all the help,

  Hey Buddy,

  What do not know exactly?

  The laptop has only VGA and S-Video output port but no HDMI port. So that you can t connect the laptop to the TV because you can t connect the HDMI cable to your computer.

  If your TV is VGA or S-video port, you can use this cable. After the connection to the TV, press the key combination FN + F5 to switch between monitors.

• Should I update Intel INF Utility on Satellite A100-784

  Hi guys,.

  I want to ask you. I started using the AdvancedCare system and the menu "update Driver" it showed me that I should download Intel INF Update Utility (http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldId=16023&lang=eng).

  But I'm confused now if I have to install it when Windows Update never showed me this update possible.

  Is my laptop Toshiba A100 - 784 PSAANE and I use Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit (No OEM base Vist I got when I bought this laptop).

  Thanks for your advice.

  Hello

  Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE works without problem?
  If Yes, then why you want to update anything?

  I have followed this recommendation; never change a running system.

  And in addition only a hint: use always the Toshiba page tools and drivers. Don t install any driver tool from 3rd party page if it of not really necessary.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-784: Replacement of RAM 533 =>> 677 MHZ

  Hello

  IM wondering if I can replace my old ram (2 x 512 533 MHZ) a 2 x 1024 but with 677 frequency?
  And here is my question. 677 MHZ is supported on my SATELLITE A100 784 or not?

  Hello

  Please use the search function because this topic has already been discussed.

  What CPU do you have? If your processor supports a FSB up to 667 Mhz and the RAM should be able to do the same. So if you install RAM with a 667 Mhz front bus and you have a processor that can handle this then you will get some benefits of upgrading memory 667 MHz.

  I recommend you to download * "CPU - Z" * and check your FSB. Then install the new memory and check again. If the FSB RAM then triggers your CPU supports the new FSB.

  A good choice for the RAM would be Kingston... ;)

• Can satellite A100-784 - I register at 667 MHz RAM?

  Hello

  I would change my modules of memory in my A100 - 784 (PSAANE).
  Can I apply 667 MHz RAM instead of the original (533 MHz)?

  Initially, I have 1 GB (512 + 512) DDR2 533 MHz. I put in 2 GB (1 GB + 1 GB) DDR2 667 MHz.

  Can I do it?

  Thank you very much for your answer in advance!

  Hello

  You can do it.
  The point is that the speed of the RAM depends on the bus (FSB) front.
  If the FSB supports only 533 Mhz then your modules would go only to 533 Mhz even if the modules support 667 Mhz.

  If you n t know how fast is supported by the FSB then install a tool of free diagnosis, for example; Everest home edition and check out the unique values.

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

  1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

  Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

  For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

  This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

  I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

  Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

  Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

  I hope that this message can help out me.

  Your help will be appreciated

  Thanks for your precious time

  Hi Claudia,.

  To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
  You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

  But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

  Hello

  The Toshiba driver page offers drivers for Satellite A100 series and not for simple models like A100-784.
  Satellite A100-784 seems to be a part of the series PSAANE.
  Therefore, look for this number in the form of driver download!

  However, I checked this page of the Toshiba driver and found only a driver of sound for this camera!
  But not don t worry!
  The A100 series mainly come with the same hardware devices and drivers from other laptops A100 could be compatible and can run on your device.

  Take my advice and try to install the unique drivers of different Satellite A100 and Equium A100 series. This can help

• Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

  I bought the Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from another non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use internet because there is no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site do not work.

  Any solution for me? I expect other problems popping up soon, with the sound and so on. Is there a driver for this model with WinXP pack?

  (I would be very happy to get a drive of fast food with Windows XP in English, but customer will not provide any).

  Hello

  Your unit A100 belongs to the PSAANE series.
  Toshiba European Web site offers two versions of driver XP Intel Lan:

  1 Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
  2 Intel LAN driver 9.2.24

  The first 8.0.43.0 has been designed to Pro100 LAN and the other for LAN Pro1000 9.2.24

  In addition, I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instructions! The drivers must be installed in the correct order.
