Satellite A100-920 - blocked at startup

Hello
After a recent BIOS upgrade, reboot the laptop, I'm stuck at the start with F2 or F12 options page.

But I can't go any further, the 'blue' bar showing that the reading of the boot is still in a third and stopped.

I tried removing the battery and wainting an hour, but ineffective.
I have the impression of having a brick instead of my laptop :(

Someone had the same problem once?
Thank you very much for answering.

See you soon.

You can use F2 or F12 to enter the BIOS settings or the start menu?

  • Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

    Audio device:
    Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Manufacturer: Intel

    (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

    Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

    The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

    I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

    Best regards
    Alan

    You use Windows XP Home with SP2 or SP3?

    Sorry, but I think anyone on the forum can give you info like that. It comes to your local dealer. They should have contact with Toshiba and know all the conditions of delivery.

  • Satellite A100-920: Windows xp - how to make a drive partition?

    Hello
    On my Toshiba A100-920, it is possible to operate the disk partition, using the existing disk manager function. All applications and data are placed in a single space (100 GB)! that's really a nonsense!

    Could someone help me solve this problem?
    Thank you very much.
    Ed.

    Hello

    why Don t you use "Partition Magic"? With this program, you can do almost every partition on your hard drive. It s a great program and it shouldn´t be absent in your software collection.

    I suggest you to get the latest version of this program, it s really useful.

    Greetings

  • Satellite A100: "illegal block size" error during audio CD burning

    I just tried to burn audio CDs (summer burn DVDs very well) and I get an error message which reads "illegal block order size. I've tried loads: allowing the writing of CD in the DVD - ram tool, uninstall of DVD burner, new Nero, even a new aspi layer, but nothing is working!

    Only the A100 for a little while and barely had a few CD (Maxell ones) so just found the problem. Is my DVD r/w broken? Any help would be much appreciated because it was 3 in the morning and my head can't take more!

    I put t know why this error, but use in another forum had the same problem. After Reinstalling windows, everything was great.
    Well, I don't know if the reinstallation of the operating system on your laptop will not solve the problems, but you can try m.

    By the way: have you tested several s CD. Many brands of CD are not compatible with the readers, and you should check if the same thing happens with different brands of CD.

  • Satellite A100 - black screen on startup

    For two days my laptop Toshiba A100-495 / model-No. PSAA9E-18F047GR / Y6065357Q with Windows XP SP3 serial shows a black screen at startup. There is still no picture Windows startup.

    The laptop is all starting, but after finishing and be ready for use, the screen is always black. When I am pressing Fn + F5 keys, the desktop appears.

    The black screen is only starting cold after stopping, not awareness of standby or pause.

    > When I am pressing Fn + F5 keys, the desktop appears

    It seems that the display output is set to external monitor
    You see the Toshiba start screen if the laptop is connected to the external monitor?
    Check it!

    In addition, I am agree with Akuma BIOS should be the default value.
    To access the BIOS F2 press while turning on the laptop. I hope that you can do this then press F9 for default settings and then exit the BIOS save settings.

  • Satellite A100 - 920 PS9AA: 5,60 a BIOS update broke to boot from USB

    After upgrading the bios on my 920 to the last 5.60 a100 I can no longer boot from attached USB memory sticks or hard drives.

    Is this a known issue? Can I go back to an older bios and if so where can I find? If not how much time it will be a fix, or is there something I can try to fix in the meantime.

    Help! It's really frustrating!

    Talk of the old 'if it isn't broken don't fix' bite me back.

    Simon.

    Hello

    Really boot from the USB key?
    To my knowledge, this only is not possible and not supported.
    Only start the HDD, ODD, LAN or USB FDD is possible, but not USB or HDD USB key.
    But the A100 is one of the new series of laptop and maybe the initialization of the USB memory was included.

    Have you checked the HWSetup Toshiba? This tool supports different options you can control the priority to start this utility!
    Check if the USB is available and has been first in tab Boot Priority.

    Regarding the downgrade to BIOS; I think that something like that is not possible because only the latest versions of BIOS are available on the Toshiba page.
    But if you wish, you can contact the ASP in your country for details and perhaps the technician could downgrade the BIOS to the version of last second.

  • Satellite A100-920 - after updating the BIOS, it does not start

    Hi all

    I've updated the BIOS of my laptop to V6.0 (excerpt from the Toshiba site) then Windows XP and it went well, then Setup wanted to restart the PC.
    But restarts, he won't have in the startup process. I can not access the start menu, or anything else by clicking F2 or F12. But could go the detailed process by clicking on escape. And there I see the following messages:

    Phoenix TrustedCore (TM)
    V6.0
    Version.Mak - r1.53
    detects the dual core [email protected]

    No TPM or TPM has problem.
    1023 M system RAM passed

    And that's all.
    I can not get older versions of BIOS, and I couldn't find the version of the version 6.0 update that I could put on a CD for an another BIOS update.

    Anyone has an idea on what is wrong? And if you find that it's to do with version 6.0 and I need a previous version, please could you send me the installation files that are necessary to do the update via a CDROM.

    Thanks for your help.

    It is unclear to me that you can do the BIOS update using CDROM. The BIOS updates are designed to be done under operating systems. Old traditional updates have been a little different.

    In any case, it seems that the BIOS chip is damaged. I can imagine this downgrade can help but where to find the old version. I know you can get it from the authorized service provider. they have access to the database of Toshiba and they can download the old version of the BIOS.

    The download page is just the latest version available.
    Contact the nearest service and ask for help.

  • Blue screen error on the Satellite A100 - 920 (PSAA9)

    Hello

    I got a blue screen error during use normal and after reboot, Windows suggested updated the BIOS, so I've updated with the latest version (5.10). The next day, I got another blue screen and reboot, Windows has suggested that I update my display drivers, I did (to Ver. 8.241)... I have an ATI Radeon X 1400 GPUS. After that, the computer crashed every time that it loaded windows, with a popup on services.exe telling me the computer shuts off in 60 seconds.

    I assumed that this was linked to the display driver, so I replaced the drivers with a version earlier than day (8.241 - 034065C). Once I did, it seemed to work and I could use the computer very well for a bit, even play games like GTA, but I'm starting to take again the blue screens, usually just at the opening of the files, etc. and not when you run graphical applications with a lot. The problem disappeared when I turn off my display drivers, but which is not really a solution.
    I disabled the reboot on the parameter of the error and it is information of the blue screen of death:
    STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0XEE6DF5E9, 0XBAD2F99C, 0X00000000)
    System32:huy32.sys - address EE6DF5E9 base at EE6DD000, Datestamp 45abe717

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem, it makes me crazy!
    I downloaded the map Omega drivers, but am slow to install that I heard that they can cause overheating and I think ATI/Toshiba should be able to provide me with a solution without having to use third-party drivers myself.

    Hello

    One question: do you use Antivirus applications and you did update the Windows operating system?
    You said something about services.exe you indicating the computer turns off in 60 seconds.

    For me, this looks like a virus! I also google for system32:huy32.sys some people said it s a malware!
    I m not 100% sure, but maybe you have some virus you OS!

    Now to the question of pilot you: Yes, Toshiba recommend that you use a clean graphics drivers on the Toshiba site. The use of original graphics drivers on the Web site of graphics card manufacturer is not recommended.
    But I read a lot of thread on the omega drivers and many users using the drivers and they have no problems.

  • Satellite A100: Black screen on startup of windows

    Hello everyone,

    my screen doesn't show anything until windows XP starts. No toshiba start screen, no boot menu. The rest works batteries, no errors. I would like to have the normal start with: "press del to enter setup" etc.

    Thanks for the help

    Hello

    Something like press DELETE to enter Setup does not appear because usually, at the beginning, only the Toshiba start screen should appear.
    If you want to get into the BIOS you press "F2". Pressing the DEL you will not enter the BIOS. It s a notebook, not a desktop PC, my friend ;)

    What you can do is to disable Quiet Boot in the BIOS. Then active diagnosis and summary screen appears.

  • Drive DVD/CD on Satellite A100 - 920 is not working properly

    Almost every time I insert a new disk unused in the drive it will accept no photographs transferred etc. of the hard disk data.

    Hey Buddy,

    When this error was published? You drive works properly before or have you had this error already if you have purchased this machine?
    So please give some comments and btw. can you tell me what kind of car you have (DVD - RW or just a DVD/CD-RW) and perhaps the model

    Would appreciate some comments.

  • Satellite A100 beep at startup

    My Satellite A100 still beeps at startup (or when he wakes up after hibernation) as if a key is pressed down, and it will not stop until I press one ' ~ ' key (just below "Esc"). In addition, it begins this character by typing in the field log-in on the start screen.

    Any ideas why this might happen?

    HI Maria,

    It seems to me that if the key is either stuck or is defective. It is possible that the keys are shorted or the rubber under the top key shared so that contacts of does not return to the open"" position.

    I suggest that you only contact authorized Service partner who can check the keyboard.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A100-332 always displays the same message at startup

    HI - get the message "press F2 for system utilities or press F12 for the boot' at the start of my Satellite A100-332. I can press F2 but it'll constantly 'Please wait '.
    F12 does nothing. So I'm stuck!

    I read the various threads suggesting place, remove the battery, reinstall the battery, but which does nothing no more. To be fair that the battery had fallen about 20 min charge now before this problem appeared, but there is definitely power with the power supply connected.

    Anyone able to help me with this?

    Thank you very much

    Can press you F8 at start up just to see if you can enter advanced startup options?

  • WiFi seems to block certain websites on Satellite A100

    I have a Satellite A100 laptop with an Intel pro/wireless 3954ABG card. I connect to a Netgear DG834N modem-router. No problem with the connection, but some sites, including Google, will never connect. I say never, but actually just occasionally, rarely, they connect.

    If I connect to the router by cable, no problem at all. The laptop connected to the other routers and found all the sites with no problem.

    I tried to enter DNS servers directly on the laptop, but that did not help.

    Any ideas, anyone?

    Hello

    > The laptop was connected to other routers and found all the sites without problem

    According to this information, I can't believe that there could be something wrong with the laptop.
    Did you check the configuration of the router? I put t you know router configurations but on my router, I can enable and disable the firewall and change many settings for security.
    I think you should check it out.

    PS: If you can try to update the WLan card driver. For them, visit the Intel Web or Toshiba.

  • 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.
