• Satellite A100-049, do not load, totally dead

  Purchased: April 2007
  Model: Satellite A100-049 (PSAARE-03G00JEN)
  Operating system: supplied with Windows Vista 32-bit, now under Windows 7 64-bit

  In recent weeks, my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 began to charge not. He went from 100%, 80%, 50%, 30%, 10%. Basically all over the place but I have no worry because I never unplug it anyway, and if I let her she eventually settle and start loading. It worked this way for about 2-3 weeks.

  * He then from the changing of the guard that I discovered despite the orange charging light is on and Windows, he is in charge, it is actually not statement. This means in turn Windows is not hibernate (depending on configuration) when it reaches 3% of battery. Therefore, it goes down to 0% and turns off.

  When he is in this State, it's a real pain so he could start charging again. I left all night and sometimes the charging light lights up, other times it doesn't.

  * I thought it might be the battery so I bought a new *, this fixed for about a week before the same exact problems occurred.

  * Since that it has gotten worse and now does not load period.*, I now have two dead batteries with 0% fee, as well as a dead laptop. Once again I left during the night, nothing, that it refuses to load.

  I searched this forum and tried to turn on without the battery in, it lights. He's dead.

  * Is the main/mother card or would be - this something else? *

  If the Commission of the main mother card, how much a replacement motherboard would cost more work? I live in the United Kingdom, how to fix here? If this is not the case, in U.S. dollars will be fine.

  I really hope I can make it last a few months because A: I can't afford a new laptop and b: I prefer to buy a new laptop when Windows 8 came out, I intend to get anyway. Especially since I already have a valid license of Windows 7 retail.

  Thank you. Any help would be appreciated.

  > I have searched this forum and tried to turn on without the battery in, it lights. He's dead.

  That s not good dude even if the battery is not connected, the laptop must turn on with AC adapter plugged
  What you can do is this short workaround just for testing purposes.
  -The battery should be removed in addition to disconnect the adapter
  -Leave the laptop disconnected for a longer period of time (a long night). then press the power button / stop along 30 sec.
  -Now connect the AC adapter and check if the laptop would be powered.

  If this is not possible, then the motherboard could be affected in such cases is not worth buying a new motherboard since its really, really expensive part.
  New motherboard + fix would cost about 300-350
  In my opinion it's better to sell this unit and buy a new laptop.

  First install the common Module. This should me installed initially.
  Then, install the tool called controls.

• Re: Satellite A100 - product key does not work on Vista installation

  Hey,.

  I'm paid to reinstall Windows Vista and all the drivers on a Toshiba Satellite A100 and it doesn't have a Vista disc, but I used guggle 1.6 to get the product key. That I reinstalled Vista Home Premium Grand with my copy of what I bought.

  But now when I try to enter the product key, it says its already in service and I get an error message.

  What should I do?

  Hello!

  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key and belongs to the preinstalled OEM version. This means that you can t use this key with a normal Vista installation disc that you can buy on the internet or in a store of the computer.

  If you want to install Vista you should a disk recovery Toshiba or a disc of Microsoft with the corresponding product key.

  You can order a Toshiba Toshiba recovery disc directly:

• Satellite A100: I am not able to use the keys FN - common module error

  HY,

  I have a toshiba satellite A100 series and I have a problem:
  I'm not able to use the fn functions (for example fn + f9 to turn off the touchpad or fn + f3 to the eve and so on...) and I got an error concerning "common module.

  A dialog box told me that the common module is closed...
  Someone knows this problem?

  I'm sorry for English...

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know why this error message and why the common modules stopped working, but to my knowledge, the common modules are needed to run and use the FN keys for example.

  So here is my advice;
  Go to Toshiba's European diver page, choose the common law modules, download, unzip, and reinstall it again!

  After restarting again the FN keys should work again.

  Best regards and good luck

  Hello

  I think you should visit the Web from Toshiba site and reinstall all the FN keys tools. Therefore, you must download and install Hotkey Utility and Toshiba common Modules, they should be accountable for the function FN key.

• Satellite M30: FN keys not working not not after installing IE7

  I installed IE7 and noticed that the fn keys no longer work. (Satellite M30)
  I don't know if it was the catalyst because I do not know how long the problem has been.

  The only ones I use often are FN + f6 and f7 +.
  I really need to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First lights up the screen can be changed also in the Toshiba Power Saver utility.

  But it s very strange that, after the IE7 update the FN keys stopped working. I installed the IE7 on my laptop, and the FN keys still work very well.

  So maybe it of a simply wrung something in the registry. Who knows?  :|
  I recommend reinstalling the common Modules.

  Maybe it helps!

• BT sending between Nokia 7373 and Satellite A100-207 does not work

  Hi everyone, I wonder if you could help me please.

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-207 with Windows XP Im trying to send a few things from my nokia 7373 to my computer and some stuff from my computer to my phone, but it won't work.

  I have the bluetooth Wizard thing on my computer, but it keeps telling me that it cannot find not all devices.
  My bluetooth is on and shown at all, so I don't know what im doing wrong.

  Do I have to download stuff?
  This computer no bluetooth in there?

  IM so confused so if you have ideas, please let me know.
  Ive tried to fix this for two days now and im starting to lose my patience.

  > This computer no Bluetooth in there?
  Your assumption is correct.

  This laptop does not support the BT module and so you cannot use it ;)
  If you can't find any BT label at the bottom of the unit and then the BT module has not been installed.

• Satellite A100 PSAA9C does not work without the battery inside

  I'm having a strange problem with a laptop Satellite A100 (PSAA9C-SK900E).

  The machine will not work without the battery in it. If the power supply is connected in the machine and the wall, it will power without the battery installed. If I install the battery, let it load completely (battery LED goes from orange to blue and the plug LED is blue) then start the machine it will work for a period of time (more than an hour depending on what I'm doing) then suddenly turns off.

  If I restart the machine, it will work for a very short period (sometimes only for a few minutes) just before going off.

  If I do this a couple times, the machine will be not even by post before turning off.
  If I let the machine to recharge, it runs for a while and then do the same thing after using it for a while.
  If the battery is pooched, which is fine with me. How to operate with only the power supply of the machine?

  As I type this I'm suspecting that the adapter cannot be taken out the required voltage/amperage. (adapter is not still hot when charging, are my other laptops) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If I understand your assignment, the laptop does not power up without the battery
  But it will light if the battery is connected.

  The question is; Is the power led on if the AC adapter is plugged?
  If this isn't the case, then it means that the power adapter is faulty and so the laptop cannot be turned on by using only the AC adapter.

  I think you should test a new adapter. Maybe it helps!

• Satellite A100-590 does not fuel upward, that a single LED works

  Hello Toshiba-Crew,

  first of all I want to say sorry if you don't understand some parts of my text, but my English isn't the best more :(

  As explained in the topic I have a Satellite A100-590. I got it as a gift from my father-in-law after the A100-590 no longer works and he bought another new laptop because the customer terrible service from Toshiba.
  As much as I want to try if someone of you can help me.

  Now to point to the problem of my A100-590.
  It worked very well for my father-in-law for about a year. Then all of a sudden it no longer turns.

  The only thing that happens is the power led (the one in the middle of the five) flashes, when the power cord is connected and the power button is pressed. This light flashes 10 times and that's all that happens.
  It flashes only when the power cord is not plugged in, if only the battery is put in.

  I mention that the battery is totally empty, because the Satellite has not been used for about a year and a half now.
  The A100-590 was sent to Toshiba already, but the only thing Toshiba has done has been to send everything back one put a paper in that the motherboard needs to be changed and it would cost around 650.

  I think they don't even look at the satellite, I know that from my other computer laptop manufacturer too.
  It seems as if changing the motherboard is the best way to repair a laptop. FS said it too, but it was only one my card WIFI which was broken.

  Maybe someone of you had an idea of what might be wrong with the Satellite?
  I think this isn't a big thing, but does not fit my technical knowledge of the laptop.

  Kind regards
  Basti

  First you need to isolate the problem to the motherboard.

  Try to swap the memory modules around and try to start with a single Module, try the other location.

  If you can access the Wifi card, remove and see if it boots.

  If it still fails, then its likely to be a faulty motherboard or video card if the laptop has a.
