• Satellite A100: Cannot display all the files on any CD or DVD

  Well straight.

  My brother bought a new laptop today.

  However, there seems to be a problem. When you go to my computer and click on the CD icon, nothing happens. When right click and select "Explorer" hard disk take it just straight up one explores the desktop for some reason any. So, it may not display all of the files on any CD or DVD.

  The drive seems to work very well. He began playing music CDs when they are inserted and it automatically even played and tried to install a game when we tried.

  Help!

  Hello

  I don t think that the driver is up-to-date. The CD/DVD drive using the common drivers of Windows OS and these drivers should work without any problems.
  However, try to remove the drive from Device Manager. After restart of the operating system should recognize the drive again. Check it out.

• Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

  Hello

  I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

  I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

  Best regards

  Hi pawelg,

  I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

  By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

• Re: Satellite A100 - cannot get video off the LCD screen

  Hi, I'm fixing a Satellite A100 for someone. I can't get the video on the LCD display, an external monitor, either the s-video port.
  The system turns on and you hear the fans from the looks of the lights, the HDD seems to start windows.
  I reinstalled the two RAM modules and tried to use the FN + F5, but no luck.

  Is there a common problem with these machines?

  Thanks in advance.

  > Y at - it a common problem with these machines?
  Sorry but I don't understand this question. I have 3 years old A100 (PSAA9E) and it works perfectly. If keyboard suddenly stop to answer should I think it may be a common problem with this model of laptop?

  Back to your problem: FN + F5 will work if the operating system is fully loaded. You hear sounds? You don't see anything on the screen?
  Experiment with RGB port also.

• Satellite A100 system goes to a black screen after the recovery procedure

  I tried running the recovery CD, I received on my cell phone. the process perfectly, (I have only one CD, I don't know if I need a second). At the end of the process, I have the option to insert the second CD, or jump.
  Because I don't have that one CD I have support on ignore.

  I tells me that the installation is complete and I can restart my system.
  Then I removed the disk and I tried to reboot the system. The system goes to a black screen (on which he indicates that Microsoft load) and then crashes. That was the problem I was facing before recovery.

  Basically, the recovery process has not worked. I don't think I did something very wrong, unless I need a second CD. What could be the problem?

  Help me please!

  Hello

  The A100 is one of the new series of laptops and AFAIK the image of Toshiba was placed only on a CD (DVD) recovery.
  I think that the message and the possibility to insert the second CDconfuses a little.

  In my opinion the black screen and freeze has nothing to do with the recovery procedure and the new installation if Windows OS.
  Due to the fact that this problem has occurred until you have installed the OS from the recovery CD, I assume that there must be something wrong with the hardware.

  But it s very interesting to know if the same problem appears after the new installation of Windows from the original CD of Microsoft.

  It's worth a try.

• Satellite A100 - cannot find the recovery disk to restore to factory settings

  Hello
  I hope someone can help out me?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, model PSAANA-04E005 under Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 32-bit. I am wanting to sell, but have all my programs stuff etc I want to erase files and be able to convey simple with system also when I bought. Memory (purchased January 2007) gave me a Toshiba Recovery with this power drive do something if I needed it's of course is not the case to be foundI.

  Is there anyway I can fix this? All I can download etc to do this?

  Thanks heaps

  Hello

  If you n t find the recovery disk more and you want to restore the original settings, ask an authorized service provider. Guys can put in order a new disc of recovery for you.
  You have the address of the guy?

  Alternative, you can also sell the laptop without recovery disks. Just wipe the HARD drive before selling it with the HARD drive like s boot cleaning tool Darik and nuke or some other program.

  But I think you get a better price if it comes with recovery disks ;)

• Satellite A100-178 hangs at the STATION after the BIOS update

  Hello

  Recived my Windows Vista upgrade Moduslink yesterday. I followed the book on how to upgrade to Vista, and the first step was to update the BIOS to 5.10. The BIOS code was provided on a CD and I applied it by the book. Now my A100 will not boot. It s hangning to the beautiful red-logo Toshiba to the POST screen. The only button on the keyboard that responds is the ESC key. When you press the switches of the screen to the screen of detailed JOB. Just under the CPU information, he says that he has "no TPM or TPM has problem", there are information memory and "Press F2 to enter setup".
  Nothing happens more...
  Is there a smart way to reset or rollback BIOS? Please?

  Please excuse me if the English is bad...

  / Fredrik

  You are 100% sure that you used the good BIOS?
  Seems that you have used a wrong!

  Please check if your number of Satellite A100-178.
  That I remember that the laptop is a part of the PSAA9E series.

• Satellite A30 - cannot set up the binding wireless modem

  Hello
  I have a satellite a30. I just upgraded to broadband and cannot configure the WiFi wizzard. the modem is working perfectly thanks to threads, but cannot set up wireless despite my efforts! Please can someone help?
  see you soon
  Claire

  Hello

  What's the problem?
  You are not able to see the thread or what?

  Are you sure of the laptop and built-in wireless network card?

  Remember that the WiFi card is optional on the Satellite A30 and not all models includes the Wlan miniPCI card
  Thanks for posting more details!

  PS; If the laptop supports a WLan card internal, you should check only that steps;

  -Check if the WLan adapter is enabled on the laptop. Activate the switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination!
  -Check if the windows own WLan configuration is marked
  -Be sure that you use the right WLan encryption and whether encryption is supported by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Check if the standard 802.11 WiFi, B or G is accompanied by WLan modem (router) and wireless network card
  -Make sure that the router MAC filtering option has been disabled!

  As you can see all of these options are important to connect to the wireless LAN.

• Satellite A100-784 - connect to the TV via a HDMI cable

  Hi friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE. Its a product abandoned now :-( I wonder if I can connect this laptop with the Sony Bravia LED TV via HDMI cable.
  I'm not able to find if the laptop is compatible for it.

  Please help me a way to find a solution to connect the led TV and how to do it? Please also help with the cables needed for the same thing.

  Sorry guys, I'm quite naïve HDMI company.

  Thanks for all the help,

  Kind regards
  Perkins

  Hey Buddy,

  What do not know exactly?

  The laptop has only VGA and S-Video output port but no HDMI port. So that you can t connect the laptop to the TV because you can t connect the HDMI cable to your computer.

  If your TV is VGA or S-video port, you can use this cable. After the connection to the TV, press the key combination FN + F5 to switch between monitors.

• Tecra S2 cannot switch to the external display

  With my Tecra S2 and when it is docked in the Port Replicator APR - III, I used to be able to connect my external (via DVI) display so that it was to automatically screen output to we by default, not only to the windows startup screen (Yes, I noticed the topic on the forum at the start of windows) but also when display login screen and beyond.

  Only problem now is that there is no more than anything, she now only sends the output to the external display when starting and then switches back to the computer screen displaying the screen Windows login and when you are connected to Windows.
  Also after commissioning and connection, FN + F5 does not at all, even when you switch to DVI, display does not illuminate.

  I feel that either the nVidia properties settings (double screen, unique, etc.) or the Mobile Extension Manager have something to do with it.
  Anyone who knows the answer / solution to this problem?
  Experts on the Mobile Extension Manager or several monitor in nVidia settings with of Toshiba Tecra?

  Thank you

  Arjen

  Hello

  Well, as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as a default monitor.
  I use a Satellite phone and sometimes I plug it into the external monitor and use the extended desktop option.
  During notebook startup procedure the windows boot image will appear on the second screen, but the user name and the operating system appears on the screen of the laptop.
  I think you can use the external monitor but you can't set it as a default monitor and you can use it if the operating system has been released.

• Satellite A100-499 - function for the WiFi button does not work

  Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 499 PSAA9E.

  I formatted my laptop and installed XP with SP3. I downloaded and installed the drivers (in the right order) for this OS of the toshiba - Europe.com and everything is going well except Fn + F8. It is assumed that this combination has toggle Wifi & Bluetooth. When I switch side 'off' position and I press the keys, appears a message saying that I should switch to position 'on' but when I switch lateral position 'on' and I press Fn + F8 it does nothing.

  If I want to disable the wi - fi I have to do it with other methods: the function key does not work correctly.

  Any clue?
  Thanks for the advice (and sorry for my English).

  When the WLAN switch is on orange LED is also on?
  You can scan area available networks?
  Have you tried to use the WLAN without using FN + F8?

• Can satellite A100-097 - I replace the cd - dvd drive

  Hello

  The cd-burner in my Satellite A100-097 drive begins to age, burns can sometimes fail, sometimes cannot even read simple audio cds.

  Can someone tell me if I can replace it with a new and where to find it, finally?

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

  Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported

  If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

  In addition, you can buy a player of an ASP supported in your country
  The guys would be able to order it at Toshiba if necessary.

• Satellite A100-253 - question on the display, the sound and LAN drivers

  After getting a fresh installation (windows XP) on my Satellite A100-253, I thought that I needed the latest drivers. Apperently the drivers from the Toshiba site are obsolete or do any work.
  Here are my problems:

  -Display drivers is not installed at all. Instead, I installed the Catalyst drivers from another site but the resolution will not go higher then 1280 * 800, where my screen works better @ 1280 * 1024. Where can I get decent display drivers so I can put a normal resolution?
  -J' downloaded audio drivers on the Toshiba site but the sound is worse then it was. Where can I get the best drivers?
  -LAN (no WIFI) drivers on the Toshiba site seem to only have a uninstall.exe. Where can I get for my local network actual installation files?

  Thanks for the help in advance.

  Hello!

  1. drivers you can get on the site of Toshiba or live production.
  Where did you download the drivers?
  Maybe a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  2. it of the same as point 1; Toshiba or directly to manufacturing.
  But don t forget a notebook is not an entertainment system, and if you want high quality sound you need external speakers.

  3. this package contains the actual installation files, but you must install them manually. This may make you in the device, right click on LAN card Manager and update the driver.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 (PSAAR) ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE to the VAP configuration

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAAR) and the installation of VAP (value added Package) of the site Web of Support from Toshiba, I get error ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE and then the installation ends.

  The proposed solution is to do a BIOS update, and it did not work for me, as I said in the topic (I've updated with bios-20071126124517, which is the package recommended for my laptop model). I use Vista 64 bit in the way, and I try to install VAP to eliminate the unknown hit-and-run driver (TOS1901 if I'm not mistaken) in Device Manager. I worked on this problem for a few days now and I'm really tired, so I need your help as soon as possible.

  Thanks in advance...

  > I'm using 64-bit Vista by the way
  Have you tried to install the VAP 32 bit on 64 bit Vista?

  If Yes, then I m afraid it won't work, and I guess this is the reason why this error message appears during the installation procedure

• Satellite A100 - defective speakers, gives the crackling

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A100 model.
  My speakers do not sound right.
  Left speaker does not work.
  They give a crackling.
  Audio, video, doesn't sound right.
  Whenever I play a song it gives a feeling of speakers are blasted.
  When I turn the volume down they sound a little ok.

  Advice needed.
  I need to replace speakers or should I update the drivers?
  Thank you...

  After reading your ad, I think the speakers are defective and must be replaced.
  You can try to change some sound settings to see if something will change.

  In any case, I think driver has nothing to do with it and you need new speakers.

  Have you tested with headset or headphones? How does it work?
