• FONT SIZE: for the last 8 days the font size will increase from 100% to 75%.

  For the last 8 days the font size will increase from 100% to 75%. This happens automatically. I am not able to change the font size to 100% the normal way. On the desktop, I right click and try to enlarge the icons without result. In Explorer I go down to the bottom right to change the zoom level and try to change the font, nothing helps. The only way I can do it is through the system restore. Can anyone help? Dogscout

• Satellite A100 - battery all night while the power is off

  Hello world

  I have a new Satellite A100 and I noticed that when I fully charge it and then turn the power off and remove the plug from the socket, the next day when I stick it back in the socket of the control light yellow says that he is in charge.

  So, I turned on the computer laptop and checked is full battery and it says 94%. I let it finish loading at 100% then it off again and came out of the plug. The same thing happened the next day! He held again!

  I don't know that I did not in Hibernate mode because I checked all the settings and choose Turn Off to turn off the laptop.

  I read on the battery recall, so I searched on the toshiba site and downloaded the program from battery test. The result came out that my battery is not between the serial numbers involved. I even manually checked the number on their list but mine is not supposed to be affected.

  Is anyone having the same problems, or is it normal that the battery itself?

  Please let me know... Thanks :)

  Hello

  It is normal and you should not worry about this. The same thing happen on my Tecra. Please check this Toshiba document on this http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ6301EP000ER01.htm

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 - 784 buzzing noise coming from the display

  I hear a hum from the screen while I'm running my new Satellite A100-784. When the brightness of the display is set to the highest level the noise is higher. Any suggestions?
  Thank you

  Hello

  looks like a hardware failure. Maybe a faulty display ups or something similar. I suggest you:

  Bring your machine to an authorized local ASP. They must correct this mistake and replace defective parts of your laptop.
  Here´s a link to find a few ASP in your area:

• Satellite A100 - battery rest led lit Orange

  Hello

  The battery rest light color Orange/orange and the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States ' 87% available (plugged in, load). I'm connected. If I remove the card, the computer is de-energized immediately.

  I tried a new original Toshiba 'Battery', but I had the same problem. The only difference is that the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States "70% available (plugged in, load).

  I checked the battery contacts and the computer, they look very good.

  What should I do?
  Should I install the drivers? Or could it be the motherboard?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 683 ModelNo. PSAA9E

  With sincere friendships.

  Try to start computer laptop without battery and put in place when the OS is fully charged. The same thing happens again? Unfortunately I think that it will not be the difference.

  What happens when the laptop is turned off? Battery can be fully charged (green LED)?

• How re - recalibrate Satellite A100 battery

  Hi all

  I wanted to ask you a question.

  There is a program to recalibrate the battery Toshiba Satellite A100? (official or unofficial)
  I tried see the energy saving options, but I found nothing.

  My battery now lasts even 1: 30.

  Thank you all.

  There are no tools or any application that could recalibrate the battery.
  You could try to calibrate the battery completely discharge and recharge
  This should be done 2 or 3 times in the line.

  But note; It s nothing unusual as a loose battery own performance after some time of use it s a behavior normal battery and after a long period of use, the battery must be replaced!

• Satellite A100 battery is empty after 1 hour

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite A100-720:

  When I change to normal energy saver, the battery is empty after almost an hour.
  Even if I change to long mode, the battery is empty after 1.5 hours.

  Anyone has the same problem?
  Is this normal or maybe my battery is damaged.

  Thanks for every answer you need

  (And sorry for my bad English)

  Hello

  No, I don't think that there is something wrong with the battery.
  The fact is that the battery performance is dependent on the use of the laptop and so you can get different results of time.

  You said you use the A100. Well, to my knowledge some A100 series laptops have been delivered with a standard battery of 2000mAh.
  If you want to use the laptop longer with the power of the battery I advise you to buy an extended battery packs.

  On the Toshiba Options & Accessories site you will find various supported batteries.
  Maybe you'll find a Li-ion, 6000mAh battery 9-cell or Li-ion 12 cells, 8600mAh

• Satellite A100: Battery does not charge

  I have a problem with the battery of high capacity on the Satellite A100-720. Accidentally I forgot the action of critical battery set to 'No action', so the battery got virtually completely discharged and now the laptop refuses to charge the battery. The orange light comes on, but the NHC program reports no load current and just on 0%.
  It is also strange that if I stop the laptop and unplug the power cable and then reinsert, it takes a second or two for the connector blue AC light upward and another a few seconds for the battery charging light illuminates... that's not happened before.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  Hello

  While the laptop is turned on and connected to the adapter try to remove the battery and put it back up shortly after. Look at what happens and we report.

  By the way: what is the number of the part of this battery high capacity you use with your Satellite A100?

• How can I install the Microsoft BT on Satellite A100 battery?

  How to install Microsoft Bluetooth Stack?
  I tried the way it is described in the readme file:
  Uninstall Toshiba Stack, reboot, install Bluetooth Monitor 2 (I copy the files needed to C:\Toshiba\MS_Bluetooth), restart.
  After that, windows wants to install Toshiba RFBUS for which I have no drivers.
  There is no way to enter the windows bluetooth [not this control in the Options panel] settings.

  It does not work!

  Hello

  DeepBlue is quite right. All Satellite A100 units are not delivered with BT on board. Please see the bottom of your laptop. If BT is available you will find a small stick of BT.

• 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

• Satellite P30: Battery appears to disconnect from supply electricity

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P30-133 laptop computer, and the problem I have is that sometimes it seems as if the laptop does not work / connected to the battery. The battery indicator can say 70% etc, then it may stop abruptly. Or if I remove the power she sometimes stops immediately. Other times he fully run without a problem. Its as if the connection from the laptop to the battery intermittently has problems.

  Has anyone encountered a similar problem before?

  Hello

  You suggest that laptop you can not stop using the battery.
  Am I wrong?
  Well, very strange. I don't know if this problem occurs due to software or hardware m malfunction. It's not easy to say.
  Have you tried to recover the operating system? If this isn't the case, so I recommend to do. (don t forget the backup) Don t install any 3rd party applications.
  Then you can test your laptop if the problem occurs.
  If this doesn t matter persists so I guess it's a malfunction of the software. But if it happens again, so there must be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe the power supply electronic problem.

• Satellite A100-750: how to increase the graphics memory

  Hi all

  I have a question... can I change the amount of memory available for the video card?
  Now the pc with Vista home premium have only 64 MB dedicated for the video card and 271 MB of available system memory and memory system used 0.
  It is possible to Exchange software video memory setting?

  TKS
  concerning
  Fabrizio

  Hello

  Are you sure that your graphics card for laptop supports shared memory?
  AFAIK the A100-750 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go7300 and this card supports own video memory of 64 MB. This isn't shared, memory and so you cannot increase this memory of graphics card on a higher value.

  In this case the graphics card uses the own memory, and the laptop need not share main memory with the graphics card.

  > does anyone know how calibrate/solve this problem?

  How long do use your battery? Perhaps, he's already exhausted and you need to replace for the nine.
  Anyway, try this:

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
  Remove the battery.
  Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
  Reinsert the battery.
  Connect the computer to the power adapter by ensuring that the connection is closed.
  When the PC is off, let the battery charge complete
  Disconnect the power adapter.
  Remove the battery.
  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.
  Reconnect the AC adapter.
  Keep the battery fully charged.

  Can someone help me solve the problem?

  Thank you

  Looks like the battery needs to be replaced. Batteries must be completely discharged and recharged at least once a month to keep it cool. Otherwise they wear out quickly.
