Satellite A100-912 has a few screen problems

Hello

I have the Satellite A100-912 with WXP and up to today, there is no problem.

I don't know what happened, but a few hours ago, screen started flashing and colors have been mixed.
I tried to install the new drivers, but it did not help so I hope that someone here could tell me if I can fix it somehow or its some hw question...

Thank you

Hello

It is very important to know if this problem is caused by faulty material or because of software. To be 100% sure I recommend you to use a few methods.

First try to connect the external monitor to your laptop and please check if the same thing happen on the external monitor. If so the reason may be the faulty graphics card. Otherwise, you can also install OS using recovery delivered DVDs. After doing this you will have factory again and the good drivers will be installed. If the problem persists, it may really be due to faulty hardware (graphics card or screen).

Sorry, but it's really not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here. Please do not wait too long and if the guarantee is valid that the technicians check your laptop. The warranty will cover all repair costs.

Good luck!

  • Problem of the Satellite A100-912 usb external HARD drive

    Please help guys!

    I installed Win 7 32 bit on my laptop Satellite A100-912. Everything works perfectly in addition to having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible). These discs are not defective, because I use them on some other Pcs. Thumb drives are not a problem at all. Tried to use the self-powered USB hub but without success. Not sure if this is a related issue of Bios or a material limitation of this device. Thank you!

    > Everything works perfectly as well as having problem reading external usb HDD (disk appears in disk management, but are not accessible).

    The HARD disk appears in disk management, but you see the additional HDD in my computer?

    I don't know Mr. what could cause this and he s strange that you cannot access the USB HDD, even if it has been recognized correctly
    Maybe you should try updating the chipset driver.
    Chipset driver controls the ports of interface USB/so it of certainly worth a try

  • Upgrade memory on a Satellite A100-912

    I am the owner of a Satellite a100-912 and I want to improve his memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only the modules SODIMM DDR2 PC2-4200 (533 Mhz). Before the purchase of a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be compatibility problems if I use this module of PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM for notebook (800 Mhz).

    Will it work, even at low clock speed (533 Mhz), or it's going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know that the FSB is capable of managing modules to 667 Mhz.
    You can use the lower modules (533 Mhz) without any problem but modules with superior Mhz will not work at full speed because of the limit BSF.

    So I t recommend buying 800 Mhz modules. First of all, they are not supported and secondly it s waste of money!

    Hello Murat

    Problem is that you can't find your model of laptop (Satellite A100 - 912 (PSAA9E)) on the Toshiba US Download pages and only you should use is Toshiba Europe page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/

    American books have different model description as the European specifications. I checked your other job offers, and I assume you are trying to find the Vista drivers. Am I wrong?

  • Satellite A100-912 (PSAA9E) a device is missing after installing Vista

    Dear,

    I recently received a Satellite A100 - 912 (PSAA9E). Windows XP Home was preinstalled operating system. But when I installed Vista Ultimate, the Device Manager shows that a device is missing pilot. Its properties show that it is located on PCI, device 6 7 Bus and function 3.

    I downloaded the drivers all listed for the toshiba site system. So, can someone tell me what device it is and where I can find the driver for it? All devices such as the display, sound, modem, lan/wlan, player card, fingerprint reader, buttons of media multi burner Super multi and touch to touch work well.

    Hey Buddy,

    I Don t really know what device it is, but you can for example try a linux live cd. The live cd lists you start a list of pci devices so you can find that materials are in your machine.

    Alternatively, you can perform a search in google for 'list of pci Vista' and you might find some pci list of tools that can help you get information about unknown material thjat.

    I tried to install the drivers from the site Web of Toshiba (additional package, return), but stops the installation always with errors such as: value added package: PVAT Setup error

    I tried to install the drivers for Vista...

    Please help me!
    Sorry for my English mistakes.

    Hello

    The installation may stop due to system problems or the PVAT erroneous version.
    I recommend you to uninstall the installed VAP.
    After the PVAT has been uninstalled, restart the laptop.
    Now, download and install the tool small freeware called CCLeaner.
    It helps to clean the system and deletes files temporal garbage from the HARD drive.
    After the cleaning of the system registry, you must restart the system once more.

    Now, go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the Toshiba value added Package for Win 7. Note! Choose the right! There are differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit version.

    Unzip the package, run the exe from installation or installation file and start the installation.
    Installation should finish properly and after new reboot, you should be able to use the function keys.

  • 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

    Concerning

    Christophe

    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.

  • Re: Satellite A100-638 has a stuck key even when I unplug the keyboard.

    I have a Satellite A100-638 with a stuck tab button, up to now, I got around the problem by using a USB keyboard and keytweaking program.

    Unfortunately recently I got problems of coherence on the disk. I installed Win XP on and I can't do a consistency check due to the cancellation scans if no key is pressed. I tried to unplug the keyboard of the laptop motherboard, I think I made the success, but the Tab key always records as being pressed.

    The USB keyboard is fine and has no problem whatsoever.

    If someone could help, I'd appreciate it.

    Looks like the keyboard on the motherboard controller may be defective.

    Are you sure this isn't a driver/software problem? Have you recently installed a USB mouse?

  • Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

    I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

    Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

    In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

    So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

    Could you please post this number and name?

    The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
    My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

    Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

    Check this box:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

    In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

  • Satellite A100-912: Vista Capable isn't looks really capable?

    Hi all

    My laptop is A100 - 912 Vista Capable. I work for a company of development of software as a programmer in Turkey. The company is a Microsoft Certified Partner and we got the offical vista dvd. I installed on A100-912 and activated via the internet. Everything was ok then that of installation. However, I had some problems on pilot.

    1. Although it is nvidia geforce go 7600GT - 7600GS - 7600LE, there is no 7600 for vista display driver.
    2. it is not pure clean of the web page in the Toshiba Web Site to download the drivers for A100-912.

    Here's my question: is the Toshiba A100 - 912 Vista Capable Setallite? If so, how can I download the drivers and install them?

    Thank you...

  • Satellite A100-159: expansion of memory RAM problem

    Hello

    I have a satellite A100-159. I want to increase the RAM to 2 GB. I checked the type of memory that is supported by the laptop and ordered two modules PC4200 DDR2 SO-DIMM 1 GB of the brand 'Buffalo '. I have after installing the memory and the laptop starts fine (and detects the 2 GB of RAM). However, Windows XP always freezes after login. I reinstalled the original modules and everything works well again.

    After that, I installed both modules in other non-Toshiba laptop and here they work perfectly. I know that Toshiba recommends using some partnumbers, but if the modules work fine in another laptop computer why it does not work in the A100?

    Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing people to buy expensive pieces, I will never buy a Toshiba again...

    Secondly, is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)?

    Kind regards
    Martijn

    Hello

    > is it possible to use DDR2 SO - DIMM 667 modules (these are less expensive than 533 modules)

    Yes, it should be possible to use the modules of 667 MHz, but generally, they should be more expensive than 533 MHz modules. Of course, modules WITHOUT name are always less expensive than brand Kingston or Toshiba memory modules.

    > Recommended modules are almost two times more expensive. If Toshiba wants to make money by forcing
    > people to buy expensive pieces I will never buy a Toshiba again.

    Don t think that they will be forcing anyone to buy expensive parts. but as already said, the brand modules cost more expensive form of low quality modules. The performance of these modules is poor. If you want you can read some computer magazines and find the tests.
    They compare the performance of simple modules. So for me it makes no sense to buy a module without name of 667 MHz because for most a brand module 533 MHz is faster and better as module 667 MHz without a name.

    I use Kingston modules in my laptop satellite and I'm happy.
    Found this site with compatible memory modules for your laptop:
