• New Satellite A100 - charge the battery before turning on?

  Hello

  I'm new in the world of laptops and I will get an entry level Toshiba A100
  Today, however, I am worried as to the time, I first want to charge the battery for 8 or so hours before starting the machine for the first time?

  I ask because I heard that you can compromise the ability to charge using the battery when it is
  already low (the 1st time) and configuration of the laptop, is it true?

  Your help is very appreciated.

  See you soon

  Hello

  The fact is that the new laptops also come with new batteries and the batteries are empty. All laptop manufacturers offer portable computers with batteries.
  It s not unusual State.
  Of course, you can connect the AC adapter and start the laptop computer. While working on the laptop, the battery may charge.

• Satellite A100: sharp wail high when running on battery

  Hello world

  my laptop is 24 hours old and yet I get this sharp wail from left hand side near the exit of the fan. I don't hear it at all when running on the main, only on battery power. No idea what it is and why this happens?
  Also, is it "normal"? I would not have thought so!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello Adam

  I think there is no reason to panic. I think I know what mean you, but if I'm wrong please let me know.

  This noise is probably due to FL inverter. If the laptop is connected to the AC adapter, try to change the brightness level by using the FN + F6 key combination and tell me if this noise occurs after doing this. Change the brightness level, the voltage will be reduced at low level and the result is this noise.

  When you use laptops with laptop battery power will run automatically on the other profile saver (NORMAL) power and this power profile monitor, brightness is set at the lower level. When the laptop is running on battery use FN + F7 and upgrade the most high and this noise will disappear. Am I wrong?

  This is visible on each laptop model, and it is normal.

• Satellite A100-999: the process of recovery (without recovery DVD/CD)?

  Hi all

  Here is my GOAL: I want to reinstall the original Windows Vista as it was when we bought this laptop.

  My PROBLEM: we never managed to create recovery DVDs (just after the purchase), always gave an error... today and to my surprise, I can't find any operating system recovery tool is...

  1. to the power of power off: I tried the button "0" (as read on the internet), but did nothing special...

  2 - I tried then in the options menu (after F8 on reboot): FIX YOUR COMPUTER
  Then (after choosing the Spanish language and the connection as a user), I tried to launch the WINDOWS RESTORE COMPLETE lo, but he said that no CD/DVD... (no current number with this = CD/DVD drive works fine)

  3 - I then tried another interesting option: RECOVERY HHD (more or less like this, as I have in Spanish version)... Just a pop-up open (maybe on the DVD recovery) but without any touch of the process...

  More complicated now, isn't?

  4 INFO:
  I could find the hidden partition and display it. It contains files and folders: a record 'source', 'boot.sdi"if I remember correctly... and maybe more...
  => I copied on a USB key and registered on a new DVD (and the image.iso of them as well) and repeat points 2 and 3 above, but nothing has changed... (the content of this DVD is read without problem on another laptop)

  => QUESTIONS:
  -This folder and files (found in the hidden partition) means that the recovery is still here?
  -Are there a special file.exe or the procedure to follow in order to be able to launch these files found?
  (my ultimate last chance: order than the recovery CD of Toshiba, if it is still possible)

  Thanks in advance

  > I understand now that these files (hidden partition) are those used for the display of this special menu (after you click REPAIR MY COMPUTER) with the COMPLETE WINDOWS RESTORE, RECOVERY HHD...

  > Is that correct?

  No, the small hidden partition is created by the Windows system, and these aren't the recovery disc files.
  Toshiba Recovery disk files are placed (in general) on the D partition, it is not hidden.

  > So I guess I should have a COLLECTION case somewhere... but I read in some messages of this type of comment: 'the series A100 not fitted the HARD drive recovery partition ".

  That could be just because the A100 is old series and drive HARD recovery was not available at the moment
  As far as I know the series A200 and new series were equipped with recovery option.

  > If not available, I'm already so on this last-chance-step explained above? This means to order the DVD of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  Here is the link to the page where you can order a recovery for the EU Toshiba notebook disk series but I don't very well if you'll be able to order this disc don't due to the age of the laptop of m.

• Cannot save the laptop

  I just tried to register my laptop but it wouldn't let me as the date to do so was passed.
  When I bought it, I went to the hospital two days later and has not had the chance to do so before the date in the past.
  How can I save now? LJ

  Hi mate

  What to say; seems that the laptop can't be saved because you are too late
  Maybe the maintainer authorized Toshiba would be able to help you and could register manually the laptop

  Then get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help
  It is perhaps possible to s, but I have no wonder if it would not be possible more

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 loads the operating system correctly after the recovery procedure

  Hello

  I'm in trouble... I used the recovery CD last week after my laptop developed problems. After the recovery procedure, when I turn on the pc, it loads directly in mode 'Owner' - the pilot of the internet has no charge, Norton AV, supplied with the pc does not load. Basically, it's a shadow of his former self.

  And when I try and start the recovery process, that it doesn't... it does not read the disc.
  I know that the recovery process did not work properly cos when I look in C: it shows that 60 GB of data is present on the hard disk, so the recovery is not cleaned the hard drive at all.

  The only way I can describe it, is that the pc is in some sort of limbo. I can't access the original account I created.

  The recovery disk is still okay because I "explored" the drive on another computer and it contains all the data.

  Help, please.

  Looks a bit the problem I have with an A100 recovery disk. Mine formatted PC, unpack
  a load of stuff and then freezes.
  See...

  Like you, I can read the DVD in another PC. I wonder if there is a batch of duff of recovery DVD?

  I think I'll try to install XP from a different installation disk. It'll be a bit of a pain in the neck
  because it will not authenticate with MS, but at least he's going to prove whether or not the hardware of the laptop is duff.

  I'll post back here when (if) I get anywhere.

• Satellite A100-532: the microphone volume is extremely low

  I just bought Satellite A100-532 and I have a problem with the audio input. I can't use the microphone to chat with my friend on msn or even record my voice on the hard drive because the volume is extremely low.

  I tried to turn the volume on the desktop and on the RealTek HD audio Manager, but nothing helped. Microphone works perfectly fine, as I hear myself on the speakers.

  Normally, with my old laptop (M30 series) I could use sound recorder to record the music that I play using Winamp or WinMediaPlayer, but for this new laptop it detects all the sounds at all... just silence.

  Please notify.

  Hello

  You should also check the volume controls in the "Audio & Sound devices" in the Panel.
  In the 'Volume' tab it please go to "Advanced".
  Then a "Volume control" should appear.
  Check if all controls are set at a high level.
  In addition, enter the 'options' and 'properties' and activate all volume controls.
  Also change to "recording" and activate here also all the controls.
  Additional you must check if the "check" is set to high.

  Use the 'Advanced' mic option and play with thrust mic settings.
  I'm sure that you will find the best settings for your mic record

• 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 Pro L10: The laptop usable continuous 24/7?

  I read in an article that portable computers (especially their fans) are not designed to run 24/7. Is this true? Y at - it a specification on the fan?

  Laptop computer in question: Satellite Pro L10 15th PSL

  Thank you
  Chris

  Hello Chris

  The laptops are designed to operate without brakes. Prerequisite for this is that the unit must be positioned correctly and nothing should be placed on the movement of air way. The unit is cooled properly on this path.

  The cooling fan is active only if necessary and it is controlled by sensors on the motherboard. Unfortunately there is no separate specification on the cooling fans.

• After the memory upgrade in Satellite A100-1401E the system freezes

  The laptop was initially delivered with only 512 MB of RAM.

  I installed 1 GB of RAM Kingston (part No. KTT533D2 / 1 g) into the remaining free memory slot. However, whenever I turn on the computer, the system freezes within minutes and I have to re - start.

  Is it because there is an uneven amount of memory in the 2 slots? I have 512 MB in each slot or 1 GB in each slot, etc.?

  I would like your advice.

  Have you tried to change places and put 1 GB of RAM in slot A?

• Satellite A100-003: the Vista Explorer displays blank DVD

  A few months after his dvd player, I bought my laptop started to behave very strange. Right now, most of the cds and dvds that I get is recognised as void by windows Explorer (I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit English, bought with the machine).

  The strange thing in the story is that windows Explorer only seemed to have the problem, since other programs such as recorders and media players (VLC, infrarecorder etc.) read and browse the contents of the discs normally. My drive is kept clean and the laptop has never suffered a blow.

  I contacted Toshiba support here in Greece and they told me that it is a known problem of Vista with the particular drive and there is nothing I can do about (how do Linux to start?).
  Is this only happens to me? All available patches?

  Hi mate,

  Maybe I'm a good link that might help you with your problem. It s an article on Vista and from training DVDs:

  There are several ways to fix this, so read on.  :)

• Re: Satellite A100-811 main battery indicator is OFF

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite a100-811 and the problem is the following:
  When it is plugged in, the main indicator should be blue (full load) or orange (charge).
  Now it is off (no light at all).

  I unplugged DC and back is plugged and the fire was orange for a few seconds and then went off again. Battery is charged at 99%.

  What is a battery or a motherboard problem?
  The laptop is old. Should I be backing up my files?

  > Should I be backing up my files?

  You should always have a backup of your files in case something bad happens to your laptop or HARD drive.
  But the battery issue would not affect your files directly.

  However, try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Now hold down the power button / stop along 30 sec.
  Then, plug the battery and plug in the AC adapter and check if the battery indicator would be IT.

  But I think that if the laptop is still running even if the AC adapter is not connected, then the battery should be ok

• Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

  Hi people,

  My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

  When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

  The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

  I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
  I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
  Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
  Laptop is out of warranty.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  See you soon
  Steve

  Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

  Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?
