• Satellite A100 PSAARA - Questions about RAM, VGA and BIOS

  I used Toshiba Satellite A100 PSAARA, now I have a few questions:

  1. I have updated the BIOS for my laptop (new version 6.0 to version 5.10): everything seems to work ok, but after I rebooted the laptop, it automatically connect a black screen with these warning "checksum bad sectors, F1: default settings, F2:..." (remember exactly).
  I pressed F1, my Toshiba reboot works ok after that, so there's something wrong with this warning?

  2. I upgraded RAM to 2 GB (1 GB + 1 GB) with the KingMax brand, if the RAM expandable max I can do on my laptop?

  3. This Toshiba laptop use to edge or video card, I check my Nvidia geforce card real estate (laptop) and I saw this: memory: 256 MB + RAM shared memory: 256 MB = 512 MB of total memory?
  So: can I upgrade my card graph and maximum card that I can use?

  4. I cannot set 75 Hz for refresh monitor, can see 65 Hz

  Thanks for your help!

  1. try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Then it should work.

  2. the Satellite A100 supports 4 GB max.

  3. No, the graphics card can not be changed. It s soldered on the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

• 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 (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 - 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 - the hail its Windows 7

  Hey guys,.

  I have a Satellite A100 (PSAAR) that I was running a beta version of Windows 7 on (I had updated to Vista).

  When I decided to format it and install a new version of Windows 7, audio has become really intestine.

  Is there a driver Toshiba I have not installed... or if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

  Thank you!

  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

• Satellite P750 - upgrade of RAM Possible?

  Is the maximum capacity memory of a custom built P750 only 8 GB with an I5 or I7 processor?

  I'm about to buy a new laptop, but the Toshiba scalability is a concern when others seem to sell the exact same internals but a maximum memory capacity of 16 GB of advertising.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The upgrade of RAM depends on the chipset which is mounted on the motherboard.
  As far as I know the some of the P750 are equipped with Chipset Mobile Intel HM65.
  So as much as I know that you can upgrade the RAM up to 8 GB. In this case, you can use 2 x 4 GB RAM max

• Satellite A100-784: Replacement of RAM 533 =>> 677 MHZ

  Hello

  IM wondering if I can replace my old ram (2 x 512 533 MHZ) a 2 x 1024 but with 677 frequency?
  And here is my question. 677 MHZ is supported on my SATELLITE A100 784 or not?

  Hello

  Please use the search function because this topic has already been discussed.

  What CPU do you have? If your processor supports a FSB up to 667 Mhz and the RAM should be able to do the same. So if you install RAM with a 667 Mhz front bus and you have a processor that can handle this then you will get some benefits of upgrading memory 667 MHz.

  I recommend you to download * "CPU - Z" * and check your FSB. Then install the new memory and check again. If the FSB RAM then triggers your CPU supports the new FSB.

  A good choice for the RAM would be Kingston... ;)

• Satellite A100-847 - upgrade advice

  Hello

  I use the Satellite A100 - 847 (PSAA9E) for almost two years. 2 years warranty be over within a month, so I guees this is good time for an upgrade. I could use more RAM and a faster HARD drive (for purposes of CAD especially when I'm on the track) so I would like to know more about it.

  * What I already found out which is my laptop: *.
  (if I'm wrong with something to say please)

  1) ... May take 2 DDR2-DIMM modules; 4 GB max; which means 2x2gb. I have already 2X512GB, and it is not enough.
  -The question is what DDR2 memory! The FSB is running on 667 MHz, so I guess I should buy PC-5300/667 or even 6400/800?
  -What is the best memory for my laptop? Who gets very hot! What model is pretty cool?

  2) ... At a Hitachi Travelstar 5 K 100, 2.5 ", 5400 RPM, 8 MB, 100 GB SATA cache. The capacity is enough for me, but it's far too slow. So I guess I should to a 7200 RPM 16 MB disk cache.
  -The question here is my laptop support SATA2 or is - this just SATA1? What shlould buy?
  -My laptop does support disk 7200 RPM?
  -My laptop overheating with this drive?

  3) ... Could have a more efficient cooling system. Is there a solution to this?

  Thank you in advance,

  Hello

  Googling autour I ve found track information:

  The computer has two SO DIMM slot comes standard with the DDRII 4200 module. He
  supports PC2-4200 and use SO DIMM (DDRII SDRAM) leads to 1.8 V, accepting
  BTO/CTO for your memory needs. It can integrate up to 4 GB of hand
  memory.
  By using the following formats of memory modules:
  256 MB (16 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  512 MB (32 M × 16 × 8 P) / 533/667 MHZ
  1024 MB (64Mx16x8P) / 533/667 MHZ

  If you want to use the maximum RAM, you must use two 2 GB. Toshiba recommends the use
  2 x 2 GB RAM DDR2 PA3513U-1M2G. An alternative to this RAM module are modules memory high quality Kingston .

  On HARD drive, I can say follow:
  HARD drive interface compliant to Serial ATA (for 40/60/80/100/120 GB).
  The computer can accommodate a HARD drive of 2.5 inches with all the following storage capabilities:
  40 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 rpm)
  60 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  80 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  100 GB SATA (9.5 mm thick) (5 400 tr/min/7200 RPM)
  120 GB (5400 RPM) SATA (9.5 mm thick)

  As far as I know that SATA2 is backward compatible and theoretically, you can use it, but I'm not sure about this. If I were you, I would by SATA1 HDD.
  As you can see, Toshiba has tested 7200 RPM hard drives with this model of laptop, and you can use it also.
  Maybe not overheating, but I can imagine that the plastic cover will be hotter than before. Make sure just the laptop is placed correctly and that there is nothing blocking the cooling fan.

  More efficient cooling system? I put t know what you mean exactly end-to-end you can try something like this.

• Satellite A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

  2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

  http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=satellitea100003xg4.jpg

  I was wondering in Toshiba laptops of the Turkey has problems or handed in state something? I sent e-mail to the web site of Toshiba Turkey but they don't send me emails or information.

  Thank you for helping me,
  Halin

  Hello

  First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
  Don t worry, register just she.

  With regard to the RAM:

  Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

  In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
  CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

  I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

  Have a nice weekend

• Question about memory & CPU in Satellite A100-551 upgrade

  Greetings
  I had the misfortune to get 2 SODIMM KVR667D2S5 / 1 G for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-551 that don't work by themselves a single sodimm or as a pair, it doesn't matter which slot they go-they do not work.

  However when the 512 MB sodimm Moose is placed in one of the slots - anyone - either of the kvr etc. SODIMM work giving a total of 1.5 GB of ram.
  Please help me solve this problem.

  Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when thay had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Thank you all for your help in this matter.

  Can't believe that! As far as I know this laptop was shipped only with a 512MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.
  Of course you can improve the memory up to 2 GB using two modules 1024Mo.

  Compatible memory that you can find here:

  > Also is it poss to upgrade cpu IE is nested cpu. I already upgraded a laptop cpu when they had nested CPU, so I am aware of the problems that arise
  Well, what say, the CPU is hit you can find easily by using a material like Everest diagnostic program. It would provide useful information on your laptop hardware.

  But to be honest, I'm very skeptical as to upgrade CPU on laptops.
  If you have already modified several processors on laptops so you know that's not very simple and more complicated as the CPU upgrade on desktop computers.
