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 A100-999 - 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 A100-813 - Express media buttons no longer work after XP install

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite A100 - 813 (PSAA8E). After you have reinstalled the operating system (XP), it's on purpose media buttons do not work. I don't have a recovery CD express media when I bought it. When I checked in the Toshiba Web site, it is not available.

    Please give me a solution.
    Concerning

    Hello

    For these special buttons, you must install the tools of Toshiba. Did you check that?

    On the Toshiba site I founded the document setup instructions for your laptop and XP. It is a list for recommended order of installation of drivers.
    This means that you will also install Toshiba common Modules, Hotkey Utility, enabling/disabling Touchpad utility, utilities, etc.

  • 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 A100-225 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 - unrecoverable system error and restart

    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 - 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?

  • The Satellite A100 created recovery, but DVD does not start

    I'm trying to reload a Satellite A100 with the DVD that was created when I started the laptop when he bought the news of recovery 11 months ago.

    I changed the boot order so that the DVD is first and when you restart, the drive runs at high speed, so it works

    No option is presented to be able to boot from this drive (as the usual "press a key to reboot from DVD")

    If I press F8 when booting I get a list of the options-led FIX YOUR COMPUTER that is highlighted.
    I then press ENTER and get a message "Windows is loading files".
    The system recovery options are then displayed, keyboard, layout, then the opening of the session, what I do using an administrator account.
    I am then presented with a screen with 6 system recovery options
    -Startup Repair
    -System restore - restore to an earlier point in time
    -Restoration of Windows complete PC (from backup)
    -Windows memory diagnostic
    -Command Promt
    -Restoriing the full Windows operating system

    There are 2 buttons {color: #000000} * low _S_hut * {color} and * _R_estart *.

    When I select the last option all I get is another screen with the message
    The complete oprtating of Windows System Restore *.

    If the pre-installed files are damaged you can use the product Recvoery DVD - Rom to restore (which is what I'm trying to do)
    A caveat against the loss of data is also included and then the OK button which, when clicked on resturns me to the previous screen without action
    If I select shutdown or restart it's there for that and boots from the hard drive.
    The disc is not damaged, I can copy him on system, then one more

    Can someone tell me how to start and recover from this drive?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. I'll try to be clear now:

    -Via recovery CD/DVD, you CAN NOT repair already preinstalled the operating system. Using Recovery CD/DVDs, you can make clean OS install only. Please note that, prior to installation, the procedure begins old BONE is removed.
    -Reading your ad, I think that you try to use Microsoft Vista of origin and not the recovery image options because when you start the recovery procedure is no different 6 menus

    Can you please tell me what is the problem with your Satellite A100? What are the files that you are trying to fix? What happens at the start of your laptop?

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on the Toshiba start screen after BIOS update

    Hello.

    Yesterday, I made an update of the BIOS on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E 03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 624 & langua ge = 17 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = userMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = all & selectedLanguag e = 17 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 58477 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42

    BIOS - 20070709111839.zip

    After flashing, the machine restarted automatically, but unfortunately it keeps now suspended from Thoshiba welcome screen. Also by pressing F2 or F12 will not change anything. It seems that the BIOS is damaged.

    I saw that in the BIOS package are delivered the two files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom) flash. But just the execution of the BIOS590MP.exe SanAntonion10 a .vbs script starts decides which automatically selects and loads a flash file. Maybe she chose the wrong?

    What should I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my laptop?

    Thanks in advance

  • Satellite A100 - BSOD on startup and often refuses to load windows.

    Hello

    I've had my laptop A100 little over 3 years now and there is a moment he began to stop loading when I lit. He would often be an opportunity "the window loading" icon and then stay there indefinitely. Then he began to spotaneously telling me that I had a blue error screen and restart the whole process.
    Sometimes it lights fine.

    The battery is no longer in charge right now that when I plug in my laptop it trying to load (but it remains at 0%). The computer will work without batteries.
    I think (or maybe just imagine) that if I wait until the orange light for the batteries to charge turns off until I turn on my laptop it tends to start the first time.
    Can someone tell me what is the problem with my laptop and if there is anything I can do about it?

    Thank you
    Jen.

    Hi Jen,

    There are many reasons that can cause this kind of behavior...
    -Make sure that the hard drive is free of errors
    -check if the battery is ok (check the duration)
    -load for 24 hours
    -check the memory (ramtest)
    in many cases the hard disk has errors, bad would be a damaged mainboard...
    but without checking the components, you will not be able to determine the "real"...

    ask a help servicepartner

    perhaps only the battery is bad...
    start the laptop without battery and watch if failures happen again.

    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.

  • Satellite A205-S5864 - stop itself and the slow performance

    I'm new to this forum, so help me out anyway you can.

    I noticed that my Toshiba laptop showing odd behavior lately. She recently began to stop himself suddenly without warning. We arrived at the point where it is a regular occurrence. I don't know what it is, if the computer is starting to show it's age, or a hardware problem, etc.. I hope that's not die because this computer begins to happen over two years. The computer knows that he was arrested not because I get the message that this was not decommissioned and how I want to start in.
    I also noticed that, even though I have a core 2 processor, the computer takes awhile to start. I don't know how to improve the performance, because I regularly clean the registry and trash. I have norton 360 along with spyware blaster.

    any input would be appreciated. I will post more details that are necessary.

    Hello

    I m not A205 owner but on my computer Toshiba laptop, I got the same problem it stops and the reason was a higher internal CPU temperature. So I ve looked in the forum and founded an interesting article on the cleaning of a Toshiba laptop. That's why you need compressed air and you can clean without disassembly.
    Check this box!

    Your slow performance it of difficult to say something on this issue, but in most cases it s advisable to reinstall Windows.
    In my opinion the Norton antivirus slows performance a little so I m using the software tool free AntiVir.
