• 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

  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 A210 - heating and BIOS update problem

  My aunt was having problems with his A210, so she bought herself a new and gave me the old one. The problems that she has been seen was the computer kept stopping at random. I think it's an overheating problem because the laptop runs quite hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I thought that might help with this problem. in any case, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came.

  Cannot load the C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT driver. SYS.
  Please verify that your accounts, if you have no administrator privileges, please sign in again!
  Access is denied.
  Error code: 5

  I am the only user on the computer so I have administrator privileges and I don't know why this error is coming. Help, please. Thank you

  > Has anyone else experienced problems with the A210 of overheating? All solutions?
  Hi mate

  I m a Satellite A210 owner and to be honest, a higher internal temperature might occur if the laptop would not get enough air to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
  A few weeks ago, I used the laptop on the sofa I don't the opinion of t that the cooling that are placed at the bottom of the unit fans were clogged because of my position relax, if you know what I mean ;)

  After a short period of use, the laptop shut down automatically I was a little surprised, but I realized that air could not circulate, and so the laptop overheated

  Now, I m using the unit only on the desktop. This method is recommended, and it helps to keep the temperature at the lower level

  PS: My BIOS is updated...

• Lock screen Satellite A100-153 and Windows login problem?

  I installed Windows XP Pro with Service Pack 1, everything worked fine, but when I updated the BIOS to 1.40 (WIN) at least once a day connection Windows crashes (I can move the mouse, but can't click on my username to type the password, alo TAB key does not work). Also, now when I press the key combination Fn + F1 to lock the screen, sometimes (not always) I can't go stay right back to the black screen!
  Someone knows what can be a problem?

  Hello

  According to these document Toshiba BIOS FAQ update of the BIOS can be done with 2 different procedures:
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

  It is possible that you have useed the wrong or bad BIOS BIOS update procedure.
  Well, it's not easy to say why the connection of the laptop freezes. The fact is that the Satellite A100 is a laptop very new and it comes with all service packs Microsoft (SP1 + Sp2). I don't know whether you have installed the device manually, but you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  I would recommend recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD and finally, you check to see if the connection problem.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

  I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

  Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

  In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

  So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

  Thank you

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

  Could you please post this number and name?

  The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
  My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

  Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

  Check this box:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

  In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

• Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

  I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

  A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

  And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

  Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

  Hello

  Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
  It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

  The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
  Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

• 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 A100-259 and PCMCIA card reader no longer works

  I have a Satellite A100-259, I've had for about a year with no problems... so far, the PCMCIA card slot reader seems to have stopped working.

  When I insert a card reader SD PCMCIA discover the laptop hardware as a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURE' and subsequently can not find the drivers for it. I tried a couple of different PCMCIA devices and get the same question every time, I checked also double the card reader works by trying it in PC laptop Toshiba-not to the woman.

  The PC is a XP/Vista installation start-up duel and I get the same question under each operating system. I also think that it may have started after I installed upgrading the BIOS to 2.20.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, b
  Kind regards.

  Try to access the BIOS and set the defaults.
  Don t forget to save the settings after the change.

  By the way; Are you trying to reinstall the PCMCIA driver?
  Go to the Device Manager and remove the PCMCIA computer location.
  Then restart the laptop and check if Windows detects and installs the removed slot.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100-201 and Win7 update

  Hello

  I want to install Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007 on my laptop (Satellite A100-201). I ran the upgrade of Windows tool that tells me that my Toshiba Configfree (version 5.90.07) will have to be uninstalled before upgrade and that it would not be able to be reinstalled after installing Windows 7... What is the Configfree, do I need for my laptop to do something 'special '?

  Thanks in advance for your help

  ConfigFree is tool designed by Toshiba and it's an interesting tool for monitoring the network. This tool runs in the background and send you all the information about the network connectivity. If there is a problem this tool offers solutions that can help you fix connectivity LAN/WLAN/BT.

  To be honest you do not have this tool and if you didn't use it in the past you will he miss any.

• 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?

  I want to help diagnose the please the problem, I disassembled the laptop and it is completely dry, but it still can t accept to have the screen and ONE wireless at the same time.

  Thanks in advance ^^

  Hello

  I think that the spilled liquid has damaged something on the map.
  Maybe the contact of the Wlan switch is damaged or the fluid cause short-circuit some

  As you can see, it's really not easy to say what's wrong here, but it is certainly something wrong on the motherboard
  I think the laptop must be disassembled and unique pieces like the map of wireless network WLan miniPCI and etc. must be verified
  Of course, this is a job for a technicians...

• 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: USB and Modem does not

  Hello!

  My name is Clarisse and I have a Satellite A100, which I use for school. I'm having a problem with its usb ports and modem.
  When I try to connect to the internet, he just say he of no tone and tells me to ensure that lines are connected, who they are and the phone line works certainly, as I checked with my PC and I also checked the phone if it was busy, it wasn't.

  I then try again and a window appears and says that there is something wrong with my modem, how can I fix?

  The other issue is my usb ports who refuse to work, they can't recognize anything I plug (for example, bluetooth adapter, flashdisk, ipod) even though they are installed!

  However, the strange thing is that when I plug in my printer it connects and does its job:(je suis tellement confus et scolaires est devrait commencer bientôt.)

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you
  Clarisse

  Hello

  In my opinion the modem connection does not work due to the modem settings.
  Go to Device Manager and select the properties of the modem.
  Please select the Modem tab. You will find the option "wait tone before dialing." You must disable (uncheck) this option.

  I guess that the USB ports cannot recognize the external USB ports because of the power.
  The USB ports provide 500mA. It is a standard USB. If external devices use a power greater than 500 ma, so it is possible that the device may not be recognized.

  In such cases, the USB hub with an external power supply can solve these problems.
