• 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?

• Satellite A100-803 - Vista recovery problem

  Hello

  I upgraded the RAM and HDD on a Satellite A100-803 and when I restore Windows Vista from the recovery disk process is going very well, but after restarting windows says that "Windows Setup could not set up Windows on this s material.

  I think that the problem is listed here.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us.

  But the problem is that I can't change the RAID setting in the BIOS, and during the installation of recovery, I'm not able to add the additional drivers needed.
  The new drive is a WD 500 GB driver (WD5000BPVT)

  How can I solve this problem?
  Thanks in advance
  Pau

  Hello

  First I put t think its BIOS problem.
  The laptop doesn't support RAID.

  I think the problem is the size of your new HARD drive. Upgrade of the disk HARD 500 GB and its larger than the original HARD drive equipped in A100.

  The point is that a recovery disk automatically creates the partitions on the HARD disk, but due to the size of the disk HARD the size of the partitions would be different also.
  I think that you won't have the same problems to install Vista or Win 7 using the Microsoft disk

• Satellite A100 - Flash memory card problem

  Dear Forumleden,
  My mind is 11 / 2 years on the Satellite A100-410.

  After having (an HPw1907) wants that the screen of the laptop is no longer exists. It addresses the problem of Toshiba Flash Cards text
  Mechanic national rule also tried and we don't get the screen of the gang.
  My question is if anyone has had this problem.

  Because the laptop to send etc also a number costs as well as the cost of a mechanic.
  While that my feeling says that it is for the software can lie, so I hope that someone of the forumdeskundigen not know an answer.

• Satellite A100-206 supervisor password problem

  Hello

  We have a Satellite A100-206 at the office.

  A colleague trying to protect the laptop set the user password in the bios.
  I do not exactly know what she does but at startup is asked for a password.

  Then she ask me to remove the password so I typed the password, management of the bios and clear the user password.
  But it is, I also noticed that the supervisor password was already defined but not selectable (gray color).

  In any case, I've saved and restart.
  The problem is that now the OS start without asking for a password, but I can't enter the bios because it asks for a password and is not that of the colleague don't forget to have it fixed.

  Why can't I get more into the bios of th as a user?
  I also find the hwsetup in windows re set the password of the user as shown in the manual, but this software is not present.

  Best regards
  Diego

  Hello

  I put t know which operating system you have, but I think that Akuma is right. If you start HWsetup you can also access the BIOS using this tool and remove or set a supervisor password.

  You can remove the password in HWsetup?

• Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

  Hi people,

  My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

  When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

  The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

  I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
  I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
  Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
  Laptop is out of warranty.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  See you soon
  Steve

  Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

  Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

• Satellite A100-495: strange starting problems & freezes

  Hey guys.

  I recently got my Satellite A100-495 back from repair - it had a power problem (no led was flashing and it does not start of course). They told me that the motherboard has been renewed.

  Now, I have the following two issues:

  (1) it freezes suddenly sometimes in windows after 1-2 hours of operation without problems and I have to hold the power button for a few seconds restart

  (2) I press the power on button, LEDS are underway but the screen remains black, sometimes becomes gray, hard drive makes noise, fans going on but it just does not start, do not show anything. After some tests, I have to start but once again crashes after a couple hours of functioning properly.

  Can someone tell me what is the problem here?

  Bad memory (RAM) can cause this.

  If you can get it to start, test the memory with Memtest on a bootable CD. www.memtest.org

  Otherwise, try the combination of the different memory card. If you have 2 sticks of memory, try with one stick, then try the other stick, try different locations.
  Often the memory pins can oxidize and cause problems. To clean the pins, use a pencil eraser/rubber and rub the pins of module memory.
  Be careful when you handle the memory, you can zap easily memory with static electricity. To make sure that you are connected to the earth when the memory handling.

• Satellite A100-788 - LCD turns black-shadow

  Hello to all specialists!

  I have a problem which became unbearable with the monitor of my Toshiba A100-788. When I turn on the laptop for a few seconds, works normally but would then become black and everything is in black shadow. I can see what is on the desktop if I put a strong light in front of my screen. until the monitor worked if I restarted abruptly the laptop but now no longer works. I already replaced the LCD inverter but I have the same problem (should I replace the inverter wires?). and I have already connected to an external monitor and working correctly. I'm a little desperate because I need the documents on my laptop.

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  It looks like a FL. inverter problem

  The FL inverter is a piece of equipment behind the frame of the LCD and this material part controls the LCD backlight.

  In my opinion it s broken and it of necessary to replace this part in order to solve this problem.

  I would recommend contacting a local Toshiba ASP. Guys should help you to replace this part.

  Good luck

• Issue of Satellite A100 - 159 LCD - Photo cut into horizontal pieces

  Hello

  For three days I have very strange problems with the LCD screen on my laptop. Imagine the normal image, cut it into horizontal pieces and place pieces randomly above the other.
  This 'strange' combination vertical rolls on the screen. A few minutes later, he stops and the screen shows me a gradient of one color.

  With a keyboard shortcut, the laptop is on stand-by. With the power on button, the laptop leaves Eve and the screen working again normally.

  It happens once or twice a day...

  An external screen works normal, while the LCD is weird, so I guess there is no problem with the graphics card. Can someone explain this strange behavior?

  One last thing, this laptop 13 months now, so I guarantee expired :-(.

  Thanks in advance,
  Jochen

  (PS English is not my native language, I apologize for the errors and I still think that Toshiba is the best :-)

  Hello Jochen

  According to your explanation of the problem it is probably problem with graphics card. Please understand that simply test with special tools can give you a definitive answer. I don't really know what is the best solution.

  Try to speak with service and ask how much laptop repair cost.

• Satellite A100 heating and fan problem

  Hello

  I will try to describe my problem in detail because I so hope that it might help!

  I have a 5 years A100-011, Nvidia 7600 Go satellite. Recently, I fixed a display problem that I used to, however, this time (two weeks ago) him comes from the computer laptop back from the workshop with this heating problem. Which is the first time! The problem is the fan.

  When I start the PC, the fan works like it ti be long, maximum for 3-4 seconds. After that the fan barely works! According to me, the air coming out but very very low! less than how it is used for years! I came back to the same place, I corrected the PC. They checked and claim his fine and work! So, I give it a shot and tried the PC.

  Unconsciously, there is problem. Because the temperature of the GPU that has the problem, idling about reaching 60 c (SpeedFan) and goes high (65-67) while surfing the net! And using this way too much for internet!

  What makes it even worst fan always at the same speed very slow! The speed can increase little when he reached 67c!

  In this way, I can not use any high performance program, because the PC becomes more heated then stop.

  Note: I tried the following:
  1-BIOS (latest version) no available fan control
  2 power settings does nothing and there is no option of cooling method
  3 - fan control software. Unfortunately, nothing has worked

  I don't really know what the problem is! Given that the fan works but not all the time and why the GPU gets hot without doing something really serious! What is a cleaning problem? If so, why the fan does not reach its maximum speed at this temperature. !

  I hope I am fine help and answer here!
  PLS help!
  Thank you

  I agree with the user Notepad Akuma is 5 years old and I think that there is a lot of dust and debris inside the cooling modules that prevent fans from running correctly.
  Air can circulate properly and therefore the temperature rises
  So what to do?

  You can use a jet of compressed air to remove dust from the fans that I'm doing this regularly and it helps to clean the fans

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robbo88

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite A100-496 power plug problem

  Hi, my first post and this is probably a common problem.

  I got an A100-496 for about two years and it has been fine. Nothing special, just right.

  Although the pin power plug to the back of the machine became loose and therefore constantly moving the battery and possibly perform.

  I found any number of sockets of replacement for other models, but this seems rare.
  Can someone advise
  one) where I could get one at a reasonable price
  (b) if there are other models that use exactly this Jack
  (c) how it could be difficult to replace or
  (d) the question of whether I should just go out and buy a new machine (certainly not a Toshiba)?

  I would be very grateful for any advice and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I think that the replacement of DC Jack is really complicated because it s placed on the motherboard and you will need to disassemble the whole laptop to gain access to decision-making.
  The disassembly procedure is not easy, that you know the right order and how to remove devices
  There is therefore a high risk of damage to laptop

  Anyway, you want to know what is compatible.
  Well, I recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details and the right part, the technicians should be abele to order this part at Toshiba.

  See you soon

• Satellite A660 11 M monitor problem

  Hi guys

  I have a problem with my monitor, I work on the screen goes all black and he gets back with black tool bars to the bottom of the screen, then he'll be back the normal and the black disappears.

  What is the cause of this player or Vega problem? It is not all the time but sometimes...

  Thanks for your concern.

  Hello

  It could be related to the graphics driver, but also to the graphics chip.
  You can check if a new update driver graphic card or the new facility could help solve this problem.
  New installation of operating system could also allows to check if its driver or software related issue...
