Satellite A100: SD card reader will not read the 2 GB

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help. I have a satellite a100-163, which according to the manual should read 2 GB sd cards. When I put one in the slot, he begins the wizzard found new hardware & said while these data are incorrect. 1 GB cards work fine.

I have to update software?
Thank you
Gary

According to the card SD 2 GB notebook specification must be supported. Do you use high quality products or perhaps some anonymous cheap SD card? Please check if the card is locked.

  • Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

    Hi all

    as you can see I have 3 questions:

    1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

    2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

    3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

    Help is welcome!

    Hello

    For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

    -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

    --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

    -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

    I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

    Good bye

  • 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
    pawelg

    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 - 166 PSAA9E will not charge the battery

    Hello

    My laptop will not charge the battery.
    Although Windows Xp recognize the battery and says loading, the battery does not charge.
    I tried with a spare battery that I thought that the battery was faulty, with the same results.

    Strange thing is, when I turn off the laptop the power led remains lit and the blue, even without the power supply attached therefore discharge the battery.
    The battery led is still orange but not load!

    What is the problem with the laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Generally, there are three possibilities;
    (1) the adapter is faulty
    (2) the battery is faulty
    (3) the logbooks electronic malfunctions (ESF)

    So now he of needed to check all these steps to find the fault.
    You said you've tried different batteries and AC adapter works too.
    So it is possible that there is something wrong with the electronic power supply

    In this case there is not much to do to contact the ASP in your country. Technicians should check the portable and should run diagnostics tests

    I recommend contacting the guys and ask for more details and manipulation still good luck and happy new year.

  • Satellite A200 28H: F6 floppy will not work when installing XP

    Hello

    I am trying to install Windows XP pro on my new laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), and since it needs driver SATA, I downloaded the driver suitable for my laptop (Satellite A200 28 H), put it on a floppy disk for use with a USB floppy drive (which works fine), press "F6" when appropriate and everything... But it simply doesn't. I had training as a technician for a few years, so even thouh that is no longer my work and I might be a little rusty, I think I still know at least a little what I do... Well, apparently I'm more image than I thought!

    I've tried several things, and this is what I get:

    * If I don't use all the disks, Windows XP will not find the hard drive. Which was intended, no problems here, don't except for the fact that it is completely useless for me :)

    * If I force the driver on the floppy disk, despite Windows tells me that is already a driver that can be used, then within 10 seconds I get a BSOD with the stop message 0x7B (found or inaccessible boot device).

    * If I use the floppy drive, but do not force the driver and listen instead of Windows ("oh, you already have a driver? ("OK, then, use and too bad that diskette"), I can actually finish the installation process. Windows will copy all the necessary files on the disk, it will even restart correctly after that and moved on. But when the installation is complete, the computer will restart, I'll see the loading for a second screen, and then, BSOD stop 0x7B again.

    I'm sure I downloaded the driver for my computer. In fact, I also tried a couple of bad drivers too, just to be safe (IE I use Intel Matrix for ICH8M, but I also tried the ICH7M to be sure), I tried with drivers downloaded from the Toshiba site, on the site of Intel and whatnot-other-website-for-newbies-or-powerusers, and I still have the same behavior as described above.

    I tried partitioning / formatting during installation, and I also tried leaving the file system intact. If I do the latter, the only difference is that I have offered 2 possible OS to boot from, the two being Windows XP and both failed miserably.

    It's probably worth mentioning that, if I use the recovery DVDs and start over and clean with Vista, I have no problem whatsoever, except for the loaded gazillion process during startup, the RAM already used half and applications useless hundred I don't give a darn on... And the fact that some applications that I need work just can not be installed on Vista.

    If anyone has any idea how to solve this problem, I would be very grateful!

    Hello

    The procedure, including the SATA drivers in Win XP using the external USB floppy drive is very easy.
    First you need to download the Storage Manager and having to put on the diskette.

    During the installation of Win XP you must press F6 for inclusion since the external floppy drive and follow the new instructions on the screen.

    _Note; _
    Very important is that your XP CD Win would contains SP2!
    Without SP2 a BSOD can appears and could break up of installation!

    Don t format or don t create all partitions after the installation of the SATA driver. It can erase the installed and included from HARD disk SATA driver.

    Last but not least some readers of external floppy drive are not supported. I read that some users had some problems with an external FDD drives they tested another drive and it worked finally

    Check the recommendations may indicate that it might be useful

  • Satellite A350: Highlight text, and then delete or BACKSPACE will not erase the text

    I have a new Satellite A350. When I surligner highlight the text, then try to remove or back up it will not delete the text. This happens in the line URL, Windows Mail and Word.

    The key SUPPR and button both work individually, but I'm used to being able to select lines of text, and then type on (or pressing delelte) it to disappear.

    Now I can not delete text except by backspacing of the text.
    Y at - it a setting I can change or is this a problem with the laptop?

    Thank you

    Hmm, I had the same problem in Word from MS Office.
    I solved this problem by using this work around:

    -In the menu bar, select Tools, Options and then on the Edit tab.
    -Click the box called "Typing replaces selection" sub + mounting options + and then click OK.

    Check if that helps.
