  Hello

  > 'safe start mode.
  Do you mean that your Windows operating system starts only in safe mode?

  If yes then it might be something wrong with the system files or the registry.
  How do you reinstall the operating system on your laptop? Is it 2 years ago?
  Eventually it s time for a new OS update?  :|

  If you the problem is only with the software, then a new recovery would solve the problem.

  Good luck my friend

• Satellite A100 PSAA9A - can read DVD BUT not CD with Windows XP

  I use a satellite A100 PSAA9A computer laptop and I started having trouble with the CD/DVD drive. It was working fine until yesterday when he decided not read no matter what CD I get the message asking me to insert a disc, when there is a CD in the drive. It still reads DVD good.
  I don't know if he has anything to do with the download of the updates of Windows XP because the troubl seems to start after I did.
  Is there somewhere in the creation for the player who controls this? Also when I run the troubleshooting test it always ignores the test of this drive.
  I'd appreciate any help.
  See you soon

  Optical drives, DVDS, has some different faces to work with CD and DVD, but objective and optics are the same. He had arrived, when in one two heads become a dust or something else. I thing that you must visit the Service and your disk cleanup. But do not use a cleaning disc!
  PS. Windows updates, as and OS, are not issues.
  Make sure it's easy - attempt to start bootCD (not BootDVD) with anyone by pressing F12 at startup. If the running machine - it's Windows, if not - DVD player.

• 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.

• Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

  Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

  The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

  HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

  Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

  I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

• Satellite A100 - unrecoverable system error and restart

  Without warning my Satellite A100 don't close but reboot, I removed the auto reboot, and the error that is displayed in the BSOD is:

  STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
  The Windows Logon Process system process ended unexpectedly with status 0xc0000000 (0x00000000 0 x 0000000)

  in the event where Viewer does not appear anything on the error, I tried a system restore but it cannot exercise, in the event viewer this time it is written that he cannot run because the PC is not turned off regularly,
  How can I do?
  The BSOD appear in the last stop after the color screen when turned on the black screen just before the
  Turn off the power.

  Hi flottero,

  It of always a little difficult to discuss these blue screens because many things could be the reason, but in most cases it s a hardware or driver problem.

  If system restore doesn't work, can you try to restore Windows recovery disk settings, please? After that, you get back factory settings and so you can identify a hardware problem or software.

• Satellite A100 - compatibility SSD drive and recommendations?

  Hello.
  I want to replace the original HARD drive in my Satellite A100-811 with an SSD.
  What are the parameters for search? I can just about any 2.5 "SATA II SSD on the market?
  Intel X 25 - M Mainstream SATA SSD 160 GB G2 is compatible?
  Are there recommendations for Toshiba?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  A100 controller SATA HDD support.
  Generally, it should be possible to use the laptop as part of a SATA SSD drive.
  But I also read that not all laptops can properly manage the SSD drive.
  In some cases the SSD update the firmware of the player might help.
  So I can't say with certainty that the new SSD will work properly and that the BIOS would properly recognize the SSD.
  I think you'll need to test the SSD drive
  You could order it on Amazon and could test, in the worst case you could send again
  I did it too with some RAM modules that didn t work in my notebook.

  Please post some details if these updates succeeded or not, it would be interesting to know if you can use it in your A100 because I would use a SSD drive too

• Satellite A100 - closed by itself and no longer starts

  Satellite A100 PSAA9A-10U038. Laptop shut down by itself, while in use. No BIOS upgrades or changes. No light no no list, no JOB.
  I tried the power adapter on another machine and works fine. Called Toshiba me adapter probably at fault, if I want to have the look will cost you $120.
  I think maybe the mother died? Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello

  Looks like a hardware malfunction...

  I think you need professional help of an authorized service to pick up your Satellite A100 works again.

  On the Toshiba site I founded a list of s: ASP.

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• Satellite A100 - 495 (PSAA9) - CPU and GPU upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a few questions.
  I have a Satellite A100-495 with 2 GB of Ram, Core2Duo 1.83 GHz (2 x; T5600) and an NVIDIA Geforce 7600go.
  I want to spend the CPU and the GPU. Is this possible?
  I don't want to do. I am looking for a store (if possible in Germany) that can do this.

  If its possible, what it costs? And what store can I speak?

  If this is not possible-> why? It is fixed; It getting too hot?

  What solution do I? I don't want to buy a new laptop.

  Kind regards
  Dave

  Update CPU and GPU on laptop computers is complicated enough or is not possible. At first, I must say that GPU is part of the motherboard and graphics card can not be upgraded at all.

  What about the CPU upgrade? Toshiba authorized service providers will not do that and the CPU upgrade is not supported. Few people on this forum have talked about CPU upgrade, but for me the risk is too high. All hardware components are adapted to the work well together and also to reduce the risk of damaging the material. The BIOS is also suitable for the specific hardware configuration. The values of the fans are also tested and there is no risk of overheating.

  Change CPU, you will get no more powerful laptop. Modern processors are powerful enough and a few MHz more won't do anymore difference. What you can do is to increase the RAM to the maximum level - 4 GB. That s all what you should do and your laptop runs a lot faster.

  Also be careful on the configuration of the operating system. This will also help make your laptop faster than before.

  By the way: for operations you need more power? What you want to do with your laptop?

• Satellite 2450-201: slow startup and shutdown

  I HAVE A SATELLITE 2450-201 AND I RUN ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, I DID A REGISTRY CLEANER EVERYBODYS USERNAME USING REGISTRY FIX 5.5
  I HAVE DEFRAGED MY PC AND ALSO OPTIMIZED MY MSCONFIG STARTUP ITEMS AND EVEN THE BIOS UPDATE.
  THE RESULT IS EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I CONNECT AND ACTUALLY UNDER WINDOWS BUT THE SAME OLD VERY SLOW STOP AND START TO WHAT I DO.

  THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!

  Hello

  Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).

  For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

• Satellite M30x - BSOD at startup - F8 does nothing

  After loading some software my m30x keeps restarting itself.
  Unfortunately, the blue screen of death happens before I choose my account (XP) and it goes through the reboot sequence.

  Screen says to press F8 on startup to enter safe mode, but that doesn't matter.

  How can I get in mode start safe and no idea on how to solve this - if I can load XP so that I can perform a restore, but that seems very far at present.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Usually if the Advanced Boot Menu does not start pressing the F8 key then you will not be able to boot into safe mode.

  In your case I n t see any other solution than starting from the Toshiba restore CD and reinstall new OS :(
