• Satellite A100 - will not charge the battery

  Hello

  I have ned to help. My Satellite A100 will not charge the battery. He works the power adaptor for the led indicates charging status, battery shows 1% of loading tatus information, but none does change - no loading any time. When disconnected everything just stops off like normal desktop.

  I've already put battery in and out, made upgrades to the antivir software, makes Toshiba controls, tests, but what ever he did did not any change. If there is no way for restoration of battery how to check what the problem is I have no second battery or AC I can always buy new batttery but I don't know if the old one is broken and weather new would work properly?

  Best regards

  Hi pawelg,

  I agree with the user above. The battery can be charged only up to 500 times, and after that, it must be replaced. I think it's the case now, I mean that everything works correctly on the AC adapter so I think that the battery must be the reason for this.

  By the way: you can buy a new battery to an authorized service provider. ;)

• Satellite A100-178 hangs at the STATION after the BIOS update

  Hello

  Recived my Windows Vista upgrade Moduslink yesterday. I followed the book on how to upgrade to Vista, and the first step was to update the BIOS to 5.10. The BIOS code was provided on a CD and I applied it by the book. Now my A100 will not boot. It s hangning to the beautiful red-logo Toshiba to the POST screen. The only button on the keyboard that responds is the ESC key. When you press the switches of the screen to the screen of detailed JOB. Just under the CPU information, he says that he has "no TPM or TPM has problem", there are information memory and "Press F2 to enter setup".
  Nothing happens more...
  Is there a smart way to reset or rollback BIOS? Please?

  Please excuse me if the English is bad...

  Please check if your number of Satellite A100-178.
  That I remember that the laptop is a part of the PSAA9E series.

  Hello

  I think that in this case you must go to an authorized service provider. If the laptop freeze during the BIOS update module ROM needs to be reflashed.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search nearest ASP and download all the drivers. Check this box:

• Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios Update

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after the update of the old bios, I noticed that I can not boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem solved?

  See you soon
  MB

  And before you can update the BIOS you were able to start the bootable CD from the external optical drive USB drive facilities?

  To be honest I really don't believe it. Try to connect USB FDD and you will see that the FDD is recognized and you will be able to use it as first boot device.

• Satellite A100-253 - question on the display, the sound and LAN drivers

  After getting a fresh installation (windows XP) on my Satellite A100-253, I thought that I needed the latest drivers. Apperently the drivers from the Toshiba site are obsolete or do any work.
  Here are my problems:

  -Display drivers is not installed at all. Instead, I installed the Catalyst drivers from another site but the resolution will not go higher then 1280 * 800, where my screen works better @ 1280 * 1024. Where can I get decent display drivers so I can put a normal resolution?
  -J' downloaded audio drivers on the Toshiba site but the sound is worse then it was. Where can I get the best drivers?
  -LAN (no WIFI) drivers on the Toshiba site seem to only have a uninstall.exe. Where can I get for my local network actual installation files?

  Thanks for the help in advance.

  Hello!

  1. drivers you can get on the site of Toshiba or live production.
  Where did you download the drivers?
  Maybe a BIOS update will solve the problem.

  2. it of the same as point 1; Toshiba or directly to manufacturing.
  But don t forget a notebook is not an entertainment system, and if you want high quality sound you need external speakers.

  3. this package contains the actual installation files, but you must install them manually. This may make you in the device, right click on LAN card Manager and update the driver.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 (PSAAR) ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE to the VAP configuration

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAAR) and the installation of VAP (value added Package) of the site Web of Support from Toshiba, I get error ID_ERR_NOTINSTALLTVALZ_MESSAGE and then the installation ends.

  The proposed solution is to do a BIOS update, and it did not work for me, as I said in the topic (I've updated with bios-20071126124517, which is the package recommended for my laptop model). I use Vista 64 bit in the way, and I try to install VAP to eliminate the unknown hit-and-run driver (TOS1901 if I'm not mistaken) in Device Manager. I worked on this problem for a few days now and I'm really tired, so I need your help as soon as possible.

  Thanks in advance...

  > I'm using 64-bit Vista by the way
  Have you tried to install the VAP 32 bit on 64 bit Vista?

  If Yes, then I m afraid it won't work, and I guess this is the reason why this error message appears during the installation procedure

• Satellite A100 - defective speakers, gives the crackling

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A100 model.
  My speakers do not sound right.
  Left speaker does not work.
  They give a crackling.
  Audio, video, doesn't sound right.
  Whenever I play a song it gives a feeling of speakers are blasted.
  When I turn the volume down they sound a little ok.

  Advice needed.
  I need to replace speakers or should I update the drivers?
  Thank you...

  After reading your ad, I think the speakers are defective and must be replaced.
  You can try to change some sound settings to see if something will change.

  In any case, I think driver has nothing to do with it and you need new speakers.

  Have you tested with headset or headphones? How does it work?

  To be honest, the whole story is a little understandable and strange for me.
  Your laptop is connected to the router with a LAN cable or what?

  Sorry but I don't quite understand you. What is the speed with and without a cell phone?

  By the way: did you clean install of the OS before you start using this laptop?

  Hi friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE. Its a product abandoned now :-( I wonder if I can connect this laptop with the Sony Bravia LED TV via HDMI cable.
  I'm not able to find if the laptop is compatible for it.

  Hey Buddy,

  What do not know exactly?

  The laptop has only VGA and S-Video output port but no HDMI port. So that you can t connect the laptop to the TV because you can t connect the HDMI cable to your computer.

  If your TV is VGA or S-video port, you can use this cable. After the connection to the TV, press the key combination FN + F5 to switch between monitors.

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot form CD recovery Toshiba or on the original CD of Microsoft?
  The recovery installation CD should generally work without any problem.
  In addition, if you want to retrieve the unit with the Toshiba Recovery CD you will get 2 modes. Standard and expert mode.

  I guess the message because there might be something wrong with the hardware or any device. I would recommend to enter the BIOS and check the settings. You can also try the options default and safe change.

  But first try to boot from the recovery CD.

• Satellite A100-785 asking me a BIOS password

  I got an error massage and I pressed (default load) and the phone asked me password on the Bios...
  I have not set a password.

  satellite a100-785

  Hello

  Strange that you mean that the Satellite A100 ask the BIOS password that you have not defined?

  However, there is no way to remove unknown BIOS password. Only the Asp technician can do that.
  Therefore, you will need to contact the ASP technician who could remove the BIOS password for you.

• Satellite A100-237, which is the HARD drive more big, I can install?

  Hello!
  Can you guys help me. I have the Satellite A100-237
  I would like to buy a new HARD drive (250 GB or 320).
  What is the largest HARD drive can I install in this laptop? I couldn't find any info about it.
  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  The point is that there are no details or info on HARD drive sizes compatible max.
  If we can only speculate.
  Is the laptop seems to support SATA hard drives and in my opinion one 250 GB or more should work.
  But this is only a personal opinion, and it would be very interesting to know if a HDD 320 would work too.

  Please post some comments after you have upgraded the HARD drive.

  See you soon
