• Satellite A100-847: only 3.1 GB by using 64-bit VIsta

  I just upgraded my A100-847 of 2X512GB RAM 2x2gb RAM. In total, 4GB, which is officially supported by this model.
  Although there is no official x 64 support for A100-847, eveyrthing work fine except for the RAM.
  Only 3.1 GB is recognized under Vista x 64. Since the BIOS also sees 3. 1 GB, I guess it's a problem with an old BIOS.

  I never updated it myself. In the BIOS it says that it is version 2.0. I tried to download the latest 6.o toshiba.com. I downloaded the file from: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20071126124517.zip. Iside of it it is an archive SFX S10V600.exe. When I click on it, after notification to turn off all applications, there is an error message: "LOADPEDRV. EXE: could not start the service. "I guess that's because it isn't porgrammed for X 64 Vista. I also tried to unzip archive and run WinPhlash.exe (update BIOS WIndows application) that is within the archive, but there was also an error message indicating that vista does not allow a driver to install.

  So, how can I update BIOS manually?

  There is an instruction how to do it via CD-ROM when starting, but the list of folders and files that must be copied to the CD-ROM drive does not match files in archive is useless.

  What can I do to activate all 4GB?

  Well, to use the three 4RAM factors are very important;
  The Windows operating system, the Chipset and BIOS must provide a 4 GB of RAM if you want to use 4 GB of RAM.
  If one of these parts will not support 4 GB of your laptop computer will not be able to access all of the 4 GB.

  In your case the BIOS don't recognize 4 GB RAM too so you won't be able to use it.

• Satellite A100 does not power up - LED orange flashing but nothing else

  My Satellite A100 laptop fell on the couch and now wont power up,

  I get a flashing orange LED but nothing else.
  This only happens with the AC adapter is plugged and not with the battery.

  What can I do to solve this problem and what should I watch?

  Hello

  Try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait a while (> 2 hours) and then reconnect the two parts.
  If the laptop still not, will fuel even using a good power adapter and the battery in good condition, the problem could be related to the problem RAM or the motherboard.

  You should also try to delete one (or two modules if you have some spare parts) module of RAM and should try to turn on the laptop.

  Good luck

• 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.

• Satellite A100-847 battery led blinks 11 times, absence of motherboard?

  Hello

  14 months (only 12 months warranty), I have a Satellite A100-847 was a laptop perfect, but 2 weeks ago the ac-adaptar falls down and since then that if I push the power button the battery orange led blinks 11 times with the same length, but nothing happens.

  ASP did not now what this flashing means but think I have a motherboard problem.
  Now I found on ebay a Satellite A100-153 and my question is, is this the same motherboard, because it's also 945 PM.
  (Sorry for my bad English)

  [Satellite A100-847: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=120570&DISC _ MODEL = 1 & service = EU]

  [Satellite A100-153 | http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=DE&PRODUCT_ID=112714&PRODUC T_ID = 112714 & toshibaShop = false]

  THX.

  It seems that two laptop computers support the same motherboard as the Satellite A100-847 and Satellite A100-153 belong to the same series of PSAA9E.
  This series uses the same drivers and the same BIOS so I think that the mobo must also be the same.

  PS; I think that it is a motherboard problem too. Such a code is displayed only if a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard.

• Satellite A100 - battery rest led lit Orange

  Hello

  The battery rest light color Orange/orange and the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States ' 87% available (plugged in, load). I'm connected. If I remove the card, the computer is de-energized immediately.

  I tried a new original Toshiba 'Battery', but I had the same problem. The only difference is that the battery symbol on my task bar constantly States "70% available (plugged in, load).

  I checked the battery contacts and the computer, they look very good.

  What should I do?
  Should I install the drivers? Or could it be the motherboard?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 683 ModelNo. PSAA9E

  With sincere friendships.
  Chris

  Try to start computer laptop without battery and put in place when the OS is fully charged. The same thing happens again? Unfortunately I think that it will not be the difference.

  What happens when the laptop is turned off? Battery can be fully charged (green LED)?

• Strange behavior USB Flash Drive Satellite A100-626

  Hello

  I did install Windows Vista Business Edition on my Satellite A100-626 (PSAA9) following the instructions provided in the Web page of drivers.

  So far, everything works as expected, except for one little (or no) question.

  When I ask Vista to 'Remove hardware safely' my USB Flash drive, a Popup appears telling me to remove it. So far, so good :D

  The only thing is that the flash player is not put out as could be expected and and yellow question mark appears in Device Manager.

  Opening of the question mark can read what follows:

  "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been developed to remove safely, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) To resolve this issue, disconnect the device from your computer and plug it in again. »

  Following the instructions above, the light turns off, lol...

  Someone else met this strange behavior? If so, any solution?

  I tried a few USB flashes that run well on XP and they both do the same thing.

  Thank you, Nuno!

  Hi Nuno

  It's very strange. I have the Satellite A100-504 (comes with Windows XP Home edition). Last week, I installed Vista and all the stuff followed Toshiba document instructions facilities. I use the mouse wireless, external HDD USB web cam. With the help of these external devices together I never noticed a similar behavior.

  You have the same situation with all the USB ports?

• Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

  Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

  This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

  Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

  Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

  Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

  Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

  Hello

  Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
  On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

  In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
  If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

  Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

  But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

• Satellite A100-529 see only 1 GB instead of 1.5 GB of ram in

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A100-529 with 512 MB of RAM.

  I bought today memory 1 GB DDR2 PC4200 Corsair of brick.

  The problem is, that my laptop sees only 1 GB ram in total instead of 1.5 GB.

  I've updated the BIOS, but that's nit helped.

  Can anyone an idea what is the reason for this?

  Hello

  Have you tried to move the modules of memory in the slots?
  You might try to insert the 1 GB module into the first slot and the 512 MB in the second slot.

  What in the update of the BIOS? Check if this is possible and if the new version is available.

  If this doesn't help, I would recommend using the memory module to recommend Toshiba.
  I looked on the Toshiba option & Accessories site and found this module;
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• Satellite A200 - only flashing cursor upper left corner

  Hi, please help.

  So, I have a Toshiba Satellite A200. After giving windows 7 a go for a few weeks on this machine, I get an update message 'new chipset drivers available' Yay! So to install these drivers, I have to restart the laptop computer for the changes to take effect.

  Guess what. Not more than computer laptop.

  Boots of laptop for Toshiba screen with the logo of intel in the lower right, progress bar is his thing, the next screen... Black... only flashing cursor upper left corner. Given the last thing I did was update the chipset, I thought that, maybe the BIOS = dead.

  I've been searching the net for solutions and have had hundreds of goes into the crisis recovery disk, the problem is, I can't get the machine Mode of recovery from crisis.
  I tried a lot of keys and combos
  FN + B
  Win + B
  0
  F
  FN + Esc
  Win + Esc

  To nothing not there I actually have one of these hold key combinations, the machine continues to show the Toshiba/Intel screen and beep at me until I cleared some combination of keys I'm trying, then goes to the white screen and blinking cursor bonus.

  I also found a guide that suggests the CMOS of compensation before trying to repair the BIOS, however I can not find a key combination to do either a diagram or guide on how and where I could find the CMOS for this particular machine (I was hoping to solve this problem without disassembling the machine, as in the past that it often has not worked for me)

  I really appreciate any insight and suggestions on this problem.

  Hello

  At the moment I think that it s just a software problem caused the new chipset driver. You can access the BIOS? Normally, this should be possible if you see the Toshiba logo first, then the cursor is flashing.
  Check it!

  This blinking cursor usually means that the computer is trying to boot from the HARD drive but it does not seem possible.
  In this case the reinstallation of Windows can help you.

  Also, make sure that the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS correctly.

  By the way: you have to be careful with these BIOS recovery programs. In the worst case you could destroy the whole ROM module

• Satellite A100 - Flash memory card problem

  Dear Forumleden,
  My mind is 11 / 2 years on the Satellite A100-410.
  There is a possibility of Fn + F5 through an extra screen to be closed.

  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 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
  Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
  It works well

  I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
  I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

  I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
  But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

  I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

  I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

  Any ideas guys?

  Thank you.

  I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

  If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

  But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

• Satellite A100 - 011 PSAARE: utility for Vista allows only 3 partitions

  Hi all.

  I have a problem with my laptop. In fact, when I try to separate my hard drive with Vista utility it is only 3 partitions? I try so many times to nake more but... .no success.

  After E: / Partition space that I divide F: / is not available and I can't format it and use it. There's just the color gray?
  My laptop is Satellite A100 - 011 PSAARE. PLEASE HELP ME!

  Have you contacted Microsoft about this? For me, it certainly comes to Vista and I do not see any connection to Toshiba. Anyway, if you find more about it please report to us.

  I fear that you must use 3rd party applications to achieve.
