• Satellite A100-803 - Vista recovery problem

  Hello

  I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Satellite A100-803 and when I restore Windows Vista from the recovery disk process is going very well, but after restarting windows says that "Windows Setup could not set up Windows on this s material.

  I think that the problem is listed here.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us.

  But the problem is that I can't change the RAID setting in the BIOS, and during the installation of recovery, I'm not able to add the additional drivers needed.
  The new drive is a WD 500 GB driver (WD5000BPVT)

  How can I solve this problem?
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  First I put t think its BIOS problem.
  The laptop doesn't support RAID.

  I think the problem is the size of your new HARD drive. Upgrade of the disk HARD 500 GB and its larger than the original HARD drive equipped in A100.

  The point is that a recovery disk automatically creates the partitions on the HARD disk, but due to the size of the disk HARD the size of the partitions would be different also.
  I think that you won't have the same problems to install Vista or Win 7 using the Microsoft disk

• I would like to upgrade the RAM of the Satellite A100-803

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the RAM of my Satellite A100-803, which uses actually PC2-533, at 4 GB.

  Can I upgrade to PC2 - 667?
  Do I need Dual-Channel?
  One advises on what brand or the best model to use?

  If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Best regards.

  Javier.

• Re: Satellite A100-803 - CPU Upgrade question

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-803 at the moment. There is an Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 inside and it is a bit slow. Also, it does not support VT - x extensions.

  My idea is to build a simple hobby-server which should run Gentoo with Xen on it. I can buy an Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, but there are two things I'd like to know.

  1 the bios does support the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?

  > 1. The bios supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  It is not known to me, but you should check if the chipset supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600. If the chipset does not support this CPU you can not use this CPU in your A100. But if the chipset would support the new CPU then you ve good chances to use this component.

  > 2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?
  Hmm, that's a good question; as far as I know the BIOS must support the feature VT - x to use it of course the CPU must support this too so I think that VT - x should be available if the update for Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 would be successful

• Satellite A100-201 touchpad problems

  I searched through the forums and many people have had problems with the touchpad, but nobody seems to have quite the same problem, as I have! If this has been asked to answer also my apologies, but I can't!

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with a 'Tablet' (as described by the technique of the Toshiba product - no mention if it comes to Synaptics or Alps, or anything else, is not that it would mean anything for me anyway. It is certainly NOT a dual pad that turns on with the blue buttons, etc.)

  Have had the laptop for over a year, and I got it all the time I have a problem where 'sometimes' function on the touchpad scroll bar doesn't work, all on his own. Sometimes I turn on the computer and it works fine, sometimes not. The same goes for the service where you tap the top right of the button and the narrowings of the active window (don't know what this is called). There seems to be no reason for this, I find the scrolling feature really useful. The rest of the touchpad functions works very well.

  I don't know if it's to do with drivers as I am not computer-oriented (I can use one for day to day stuff, but that's all) or upgrades of windows as no one else mentioned on another thread.

  If anyone has any idea how I can:

  (a) turn back ON the scrolling feature and

  (b) set it so it is permanently under voltage I would be really grateful!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  do you have challenged yourself with synaptics/Alps touchpad Control Center / (whateveryourtouchpadsmanufactureris) and checked the settings?

  As far as I know are these touchpads really complicated when you use them, but * more * usable after setting the key to touch about the sensitivity options, etc...
  You can configure almost the entire touchpad area to adapt to your needs...

  Please, check the settings and make sure that your keyboard is configured correctly.

• Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

  I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
  Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
  And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
  So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

  I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

  What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
  Any help is appreciated.

  HM, delicate sounds.
  I suggest the following:

  Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

  If you have any questions, just ask.

• Satellite A100 - update BIOS problem with phlashnt.sys and Vista 64

  I downloaded the upgrade of BIOS (file S10V600.exe) for my Toshiba Satellite A100-437 (PSAA8). When I try to launch it I get the answer:
  "Unable to load driver.

  I was using the admin account.

  Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  You may need to use XP or Vista 32 bit update of the BIOS.

• Satellite A300-23F motherboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba A300-23F that last week, refuses to turn on.
  The power turned on but when I press the power button it does not illuminate.
  As my warranty has expired, I gave him a technician to find out what the problem is and he informed me that the graphics chip is damaged but so the whole motherboard must be replaced.
  The possibility to give Toshiba to replace my motherboard is not an option, of course, because they require 300-400 for it. I bought the laptop 1000, 2.5 years so it is obvously out of the question.

  However, my problem is that I can't find any card handed to nine or such parent on ebay or other shops. Any suggestions on that?

  Do you think I have all the options to the left or should I go and take a hammer and release my anger on this high level sourrealistic joke manyfactured from Toshiba.

  > However, my problem is that I can't find any card handed to nine or such parent on ebay or other shops. Any suggestions on that?

  You must use a motherboard that specially left for Satellite Pro / Satellite A300 series.
  The new motherboard is really an expensive part. Perhaps you could get a second hand A300 with a card mother work and then you get good mobo.

  But its your own decision, I got a laptop from another manufacturer who died after 3 years of use.
  It was obviously a malfunctioning motherboard :(
  I tried to solve this problem because of the price of the motherboard I sold the laptop died and bought a new

• Satellite A100 - battery replacement problem

  My original battery died after four years. I thought that I'm ok with the machine in general and decided to buy a new battery... I found the following on a Russian in line-shop local, they say, these models will be adapted to my laptop (A100 psaan series):

  PA3465U 4400mAh
  PA3478U 6600mAh
  PA3400U 8800mAh

  My old battery is PA3399U-2BRS 4000 mAh

  1 will they really for me?

  2. is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (weight and dimensions are not critical, after all, the laptop is not so small; reliability and long service life is important)

  3. perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?

  4. not sure how "real" these components are... Perhaps, someone could recommend a reliable supplier?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I found a compatible battery on the European Toshiba options & accessories page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/optionsAndAccessoriesHome.do?
  Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS

  >. Is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (
  Well, if you travel a lot and need to use the laptop with battery, so I recommend buying a stronger battery.

  > 3. Perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?
  You must always use original parts and compatible Toshiba. In this case, the parties should work together without big problems.

  > 4. Not sure how "real" these components are... Perhaps, someone could recommend a reliable supplier?
  Recommend buying the battery from Toshiba ASP (partner) in your country. In this case, you can be 100% certain that the original parts

• Strange on my Satellite A100 power supply problem

  Hi I hope it's just me in Sun.

  I plugged my power on my laptop today and found that no power is getting to the laptop. I checked all the obvious things like the fuse and have even tested the output of the power supply with a multimeter and I get what looks like the correct voltage.

  However, when the power supply is plugged into my laptop blue "alternating current" does not and windows wants to say I'm running out of battery.

  Someone else had this problem? It is a work of repair and return? (I hope really not).

  Thank you

  Doug

  > Is this a work of repair and return
  I'm afraid, m Yes :(

  But the question is; malfunction of what part?  :|
  Maybe that your inquiry is good and everything is ok with the AC adapter / CC.
  This means that there could be something wrong with the laptop itself.

  Maybe it's only one loses the connection between the plug and the motherboard or most serious problem as a malfunction electronics power?  :|

  Who knows. It of very difficult to say what's wrong without any diagnostic tests
  I recommend you contact a technician in your country. He could check the laptop and found much faster fault as a user simply ordinary like you and me.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100-163: audio problem after installing Win XP - SOLUTION

  Hello

  I reinstalled Windows XP on this laptop Toshiba A100-163 and had a little trouble, but the hardest thing was the audio, so I thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else is trying to do!

  The drivers supplied by the Toshiba support site did not work. After a bit of research, it seems that the audio drivers are supposed to be integrated into Windows: "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio". But I don't it would work.

  The solution was to install XP Service Pack 3!
  I didn't not use Windows update, but instead downloaded and installed the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers. Then, after a restart, the Hardware Wizard found is come and properly installed audio drivers.

  Hope this helps someone!

• Re: Satellite A100-803 PSAANE won't start no-glued on the Bios POST

  Hello

  I have the following problem with a laptop computer to a customer.
  After having turned it on, it has the logo Toshiba rest on and everything is hanging there.

  After pressing ESC, there is a message: "NO TPN or TPN has problem.
  So, I think that the Bios broke down. How, I don't know.

  Trying to enter in the setup by pressing F2 system displays "enter the configuration" but nothing happens. He stayus on this screen.
  Is there a solution I can try to recover the Bios damaged from a USB or a USB floppy drive.

  I checked the Toshiba support site, there is a Bios Update, but it is a program that should be started in Windows so I can't use it.
  Anyone have an idea how I can recover the corrupted Bios.
  I have already removed the battery and the power and hold the powerbutton to for +-30 sec, but that does not solve the problem.

  Thanks for help out me.

  Hello

  You are right. There are, it's no BIOS which can be not started BOF on floppy or USB key.
  You must update the BISO running windows OS.
  But according to your message, it is not possible.

  If you have no alternative but to contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
  Guys should be able to help you. I presume that the technicians have access to the traditional BIOS version that can be updated using a disk.
