• The screen on the Satellite A100-163 changed 180 degrees.

  The screen on my Satellite A100 - 163 has flipped 180 degrees. The cat sat on the keyboard, so I guess that a combination of keys it will sort! I tried ctrl-stift-r as suggested in a previous message, but nothing helped.

  Any suggestions?

• Satellite A100 PSAA8U: How can I unlock the system - remove BIOS password?

  I recently bought a model of Satellite A100 PSAA8U - 0S 3033 at a yard sale. After changing the memory and the HARD drive (which was supposed to be the problem with the system), I came to understand, there was a password required before I can use the system. Assuming that this system was reported stolen by anyone. Is it possible to unlock it?

  Moreover, it also has a finger scanner.

  Hello

  You have a problem with BIOS password or maybe HARD drive password?

  Where you bought this laptop? In the PC store or as a second hand?

• Satellite A100 PSAA8: I can type uppercase when caps lock is disabled

  Hello

  (First: I am not good in English because I'm from Holland.)

  I own a Satellite A100 PSAA8, it used to work very well :)
  But in recent weeks, I have a weird keyboard problem.
  I can type only uppercase when caps lock is off and I can't type all numbers at all, and a full stop is a: > and a comma is:
  I thought it was a software problem, so I formatted the hard drive, then I tried the Toshiba recovery disc.

  But it did not work I get some errors with symbol of missing files (or something like that) then in the window appears: 0:000 and all that I type it does not work. Then I got the Windows XP Pro. CD, but when I get to the chapter when I fill out my serial number, I still can't type any number and only uppercase letters with the caps to the large lock.

  Then I (tried) to install Windows 2000 and still I can't type any number, etc. (but the drive is empty: S) then I insert a live CD of Ubuntu and Ubuntu keys work perfect (?). I just isn't getting it. Help, please!

  Hello Ikke

  Believe me it is not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem?
  Please check if the keyboard is recognized correctly in the Device Manager. Also, be sure that the language settings are right. So many reasons for possible software for not functional keyboard.

  It is also possible that there is hardware problem. Maybe is the faulty keyboard cable or controller on the keyboard. It is also possible that the keyboard itself is defective.

  In my opinion you should contact the service authorized in your country. They can test with brand new keyboard and see if the keyboard is defective.

• Satellite A100-311 changed PA-number / series & VirtualSound prob. after repair

  Hello
  My SATELLITE A100-311/PSAA9E-11L047GR has been in a repair under warranty by a Toshiba service partner.
  They said they changed the motherboard. The reason is, there not the Bios boot (5.20), which is actually on the Board, too.
  My problem is that I want to update the driver VirtualSound, but the installation routine fails with the message that my Toshiba laptop does not support no matter what VirtualSound. He was even preinstalled, as I bought...
  If I was going to check the type of systemboard that they have installed. I used the Toshiba tool that shows any kind of material, driver etc. that exist.
  I did as the nr PSAA9E-11L047GR expected. is now a PSB10U-SA10ES1. Also the serial number is like a standard: "12345678901234567" and not my actual serial number. If I go to look for any driver, bios, or h.e. on basis of this rating, of course it is not properly entered.
  I have contact service engineer and he assures me that they replaced the Board with the same kind of room and wrote good "DMI" (?) on the new Board of Directors. His response was that I need to run the recovery procedure, but I do not believe that this will change anything.

  My questions are:
  That is, the system shows me such a serial number and the number of PA?
  I trust the service engineer the label under the laptop beyond important for me, for example. by making updates?
  And why is the message that my Toshiba laptop does not support any VirtualSound?

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello

  DMI information is stored on the system board and the DMI string contains, among other things, the model number of the system.
  If the number is wrong and does not correspond with the recovery CD then you will not be able to install the recovery CD.

  So I advise to use your old recovery CD. If this will not work, you can contact ASP guys and tell them about this problem

• Satellite A100-529: How can I enable the wireless network adapter

  Hi all!

  I'm new here, but I want to know how can I activate the wireless network device. On my Toshiba Satellite A100-529 keyboard is a Fn key that must be pressed with the F8 key to turn on the wireless network device. I did, but it does not work.

  What can I do to turn on my wireless device?
  Thank you!

  You are right. The FN + F8 key combination should be used to switch to the WLan card.

  But look, man. Have you checked if your laptop supports wireless network card?
  I think it does not support the minPCI wireless network card and the card does not exist!

  That's why the WLan card cannot be activated :) you know ;)

• L300 Satellite A100 keyboard

  Hello.
  I want to buy the new keyboard of my Toshiba Satellite A100-529. I have a question: * can I use my Toshiba A100 Toshiba Satellite L300 keyboard? *
  I saw L300 keyboard and it is same as my (I have keyboard ALT - GR - same size and same location) but I do not know this connector (keyboard to the motherboard) are the same.

  Thanks for any response.
  Greetings.

  Hello

  That s is really hard to say. Maybe the keyboards are cell specific and don t work in other models.

  I think that, for this question, you should contact the service provider authorized in your country. The technician can compare part numbers and tell you if the other keyboard will work also in your laptop. Just call them, it will take only a few minutes, I think that ;)

  After that, you can post the answer. This would be interesting.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9E) - where can I find new display drivers?

  Hello world
  I'm desperately looking for display drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 (Satellite A100 PSAA9E)

  Those who are on the Toshiba site was updated in 2007. And they are totally useless on most 3D applications!
  No idea where I could find these?

  Thanks in advance
  Nephi

  Hello!

  Normally you can find new drivers to display on the Toshiba site like you said, but I think that in this case, you can't do anything.

  I checked the site Web of ATI/AMD, and I can find more recent drivers for the Mobility Radeon X 1400.
  But it s on your own risk to use these drivers because they don t have a protection against overheating. The graphics card may be damaged.

  Either way, why you want to update the driver? You have some problems with the laptop (in games)?
  Sometimes it s useful to search for a patch or an update for the game and the OS.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-784 - how can I make another copy of my recovery disc DVD

  Hi all

  I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
  How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

  Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

  Hello

  You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
  I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
  Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

  What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.

  Don't worry, buddy... I don't see any serious reason why would be supported not the 320 GB SATA HARD drive.
  The SATA controller must handle the tough without major problems.

  It is important that you use a HARD SATA 2.5 ". The size and speed of the HARD drive should not affect compatibility.

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 - keyboard and Touchpad are not working

  Hello

  Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 to my daughter has developed a few flaws.

  First of all, the keyboard displays random characters like a stuck key. for example, if Google or Wordpad will be randomly type a single character over and over again even when no key is pressed. Sometimes it will also open windows or programs as sank the "enter" key, or scroll through the icons on the desktop.

  Second, the touchpad is inadmissible and cursor operation is not possible since the touchpad or buttons. I don't know if the two are related.

  She assures me that she has not spilled anything on the laptop, so any help would be appreciated to correct these mistakes.

  Thank you
  Brian

  Hello

  Can you notice the same problem with external input devices?

  Otherwise it s time for a service provider allowed. I think the keyboard and the touchpad should be replaced and the technicians can help you.

  On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of authorized service provider.

  Good luck! :)
