Satellite A100 PSAARA - Boot Fail

Model - satellite A100 PSAARA-055007
OS - Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit
BIOS Version 5.10

Problem.

The wil laptop no bootinto windows.
POST returns full and then fails to start windows. In the upper left corner of the screen, it shows TBX error.
The lack of loading, he doesn't want to load windows normally or in SafeMode etc...

I tried each of the options without success. Some research has shown that need to Flash the bios with the latest version, because it may be damaged.
I downloaded the latest version of the bios that is V6.00. I extracted the file on another laptop. It burned to a bootable dvd and then tried to run the .exe program, but he could not run. This is due to the program who need to run under win32. I can't run this file on windows because it does not load windows. I have no recovery disk either...

My questions are

The bios goes to work to solve the tbx error flashing?
If so how do I Flash the bios from a bootable dvd?
If this is not the case, can someone advise please how to do this.

Thank you very much.

Hello

I think that new OS install should help you solve this problem.
If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disc, then try to start from the common drive of Microsoft.
You can also try to boot from a live CD as PartBE or WinPE
Google for it. This allows you to create a live CD that will start the unit without installation of the OS.
This allows you to access the files on the HARD drive.

  • 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 PSAARE: Toshiba Power Saver + graphics card noise

    Hello

    Is there another URL where I can get a version update of Toshiba Power Saver for my computer drivers laptop Satellite A100 PSAARE other than the home page?

    It seems that it is not determinative of CPU fan (he always keep at maximum speed).

    Also, I noticed the graphics (GeForce 7600) too loud.

    If the monitor is off I can't hear it (just the CPU fan), but as soon as I started working it is audible and as a continuous beep kid.

    Is there a (software/hardware) fix for this?

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    The European driver of Toshiba page is one place where you can get the drivers and tools for your European Satellite A100 PSAARE model.
    This time it s a v7.03.07.I Power Saver for Windows Vista!

    But I must say that I see no problem of software on your laptop.
    Cooling modules and fans have to run with higher performance to make sure that your hardware components may be cooled properly.

    Maybe a cooling module cleaning might help to improve the internal cooling and noise reduction.
    From time to time, I clean my fans for laptop using compressed air stream and the fans are running more silent.

  • Satellite A100 (PSAARA) - upgrade of RAM possible?

    Hello

    Just wondering if I could update my current ram in my laptop Satellite A100 and if so how?

    He is currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM.

    Processor: Intel (r) core (TM) 2 CPU T5200 @ 1.60 GHZ 1.60 GHz

    Running Vista 32 bit.

    What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?
    And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?

    Sorry am new on this... no idea what I'm doing, so if you could help I would appreciate it!

    Thank you

    > And I know that this may be a shot in the water, but is it possible to update the graphics card at all?
    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

    > It's currently a Satellite A100 (PSAARA) with 2 GB of RAM. What type of RAM upgrade I could on this system? And what code PIN?

    I think modules laptop use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM, but AFAIK the 2 GB of RAM is max and this would mean that it of not possible to upgrade to 4 GB or more

    But to be 100% sure, you should consult your user manual.

    Hello

    I doubt that you need no additional driver.
    It seems that the sound card is properly recognized in Device Manager. so you don t need the sound card drivers

    I think you should check the sound volume control in Control Panel-> sound control.

    Check if all controls are set at a higher level

  • CARD reader may not be detected for Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAARE)

    Hi team,

    Please help, as I have Toshiba laptop with model Satellite A100 (PSAARE) which had Vista then I upgraded with Windows XP, now my all software works except the card reader which doesn't detect any card of same SD memmory so that the driver has been installed... Please sat down

    Are you certain that the card reader has installed the XP drivers (and they are the exact brand and model of player)?  This is an internal or external card reader?  I suggest that you check with Toshiba to make sure you have all the drivers, firmware, or software required for the card reader (it may just be a pilot - it may need more).  I would also re - download the driver and uninstall the old and reinstall a new where the original has been corrupted for some reason any.  Are you sure that even with the drivers, that this computer model can handle XP completely and that you are not a problem of compatibility (I contact Toshiba Technical Support and confirm what you've done is perfectly possible, including the card reader).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100 (PSAARA) spontaneous BIOS password

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem, my Satellite A100 spontaneously put its own passwords BIOS and HARD drive. He also asked a fingerprint on startup (not on windows).

    My finger print works now, but for some reason, the laptop has put passwords in BIOS and HARD drive on his own, and he calls for them to start.

    The laptop is out of warranty.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards
    Scott.

    Alone! Strange. I use laptop computers for 10 years and have never heard of something like that.
    Anyway, if you want to remove password BIOS Toshiba service, you must visit and they can do it for you.

    Password BIOS is reasonable security feature and cannot be discussed in the public forum. I know that you realize that, right?

  • Satellite A100 PSAAR: Synaptics touchpad not working not not on Vista Ultimate x 64

    I decided to upgrade my XP 32 bit Vista x 64 Ultimate on my PSAAR A100.
    Operating system works perfectly except one thing - touchpad, which work perfectly under XP, is not answer at all under Vista x 64 (with SP1 of course).

    Worse, it's that my touchpad (Synaptics) is listed in as a work Device Manager correctly. Hmm - I don't remember. Meet your possible suggestions - I tried to reinstall, I tried to use the A200 drivers (since Toshiba does not support drivers for Vista x 64 for line A100) and even had the newer drivers from the Synaptics site. Update Vista even me has new drivers - cool, I admit, but it still does not work, even if Windows does not seem to "know" about any help would be very appreciated :) it...

    PS (optional problem) I also have 2 unknown according to Device Manager devices - since I have no idea what they are, and because I don't think I'm missing something - I simply gave up on top of those - at least for now ;)

    Of course, nobody here the solution for you. :(

    Problem is that this model of laptop is not supported for Vista 64-bit. I don't really know what you can try. Maybe install driver designed for A300?

    I don't really know. You can use an external mouse with success?
