  If I connect the power cord that it slows down incredibly although the signal strength remains the same
  I've updated the bios and drivers wireless

  any suggestion to solve this strange behavior?
  Thank you

  Hello!

  I think that this could be a problem with the option to save energy.
  You can check in the power of Vista management, there is an option for the wireless network adapter.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-201 touchpad problems

  I searched through the forums and many people have had problems with the touchpad, but nobody seems to have quite the same problem, as I have! If this has been asked to answer also my apologies, but I can't!

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with a 'Tablet' (as described by the technique of the Toshiba product - no mention if it comes to Synaptics or Alps, or anything else, is not that it would mean anything for me anyway. It is certainly NOT a dual pad that turns on with the blue buttons, etc.)

  Have had the laptop for over a year, and I got it all the time I have a problem where 'sometimes' function on the touchpad scroll bar doesn't work, all on his own. Sometimes I turn on the computer and it works fine, sometimes not. The same goes for the service where you tap the top right of the button and the narrowings of the active window (don't know what this is called). There seems to be no reason for this, I find the scrolling feature really useful. The rest of the touchpad functions works very well.

  I don't know if it's to do with drivers as I am not computer-oriented (I can use one for day to day stuff, but that's all) or upgrades of windows as no one else mentioned on another thread.

  If anyone has any idea how I can:

  (a) turn back ON the scrolling feature and

  (b) set it so it is permanently under voltage I would be really grateful!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  do you have challenged yourself with synaptics/Alps touchpad Control Center / (whateveryourtouchpadsmanufactureris) and checked the settings?

  As far as I know are these touchpads really complicated when you use them, but * more * usable after setting the key to touch about the sensitivity options, etc...
  You can configure almost the entire touchpad area to adapt to your needs...

  Please, check the settings and make sure that your keyboard is configured correctly.

• Graphics - Satellite A100-313 card problem stops itself

  I have a satellite A100-313 and I use vista.
  Every time when I'm playing games, the laptop turns off after a while. It varies, normally have 10-20 minutes of play.
  And when I immediately turn on again, I get a black screen, but the computer is running. I have to wait a bit to get back to the screen to work.
  So, he goes to the top and goes to 1024 x 764 resolution (the native resolution is 1280).

  I guess it's a problem of graphics card (I have a Geforce Go 7600). I have already updated to the latest vista drivers available on the Toshiba site (the September).

  What can I do to fix this? Automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
  Any help is appreciated.

  HM, delicate sounds.
  I suggest the following:

  Download the latest bios for your machine on the toshiba download site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  And finally and most importantly, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it with a can with compressed air to remove dust from the fan and the heatpipe fin.

  If you have any questions, just ask.

• Satellite A100 - weird way to start up!

  Have just inherited a Toshiba Satellite A100, which is very well apart from a strange fact. When I received it the battery was flat and so I rebooted it, although it was not brimming with ability it hold a charge for about an hour. However, what I find is that I can't boot the pc, unless the charge lead is inserted in the back, even when the battery is fully charged.

  The lead has not to be connected to the power outlet, just inserted in the back. So I plug the wire into the rear load switch on and bingo that it starts up, I then remove the wire on the back and all is well. I'm sure it's not as it should be, but cannot find a way of simply by pressing the switch so he can start without inserting the wire in the back. Strange huh!

  Cheers from
  Mel Jones

  I never heard of something like that. It's really strange question.
  Purchased new, compatible and original battery Toshiba?
  What happens when you press the button walk / stop? Is there a any reaction?

  But you can use laptop when you remove the battery, and you use only the AC adapter?

• Satellite A100 - update BIOS problem with phlashnt.sys and Vista 64

  I downloaded the upgrade of BIOS (file S10V600.exe) for my Toshiba Satellite A100-437 (PSAA8). When I try to launch it I get the answer:
  "Unable to load driver.
  ... \PHLASHNT. SYS
  ...
  This driver has been blocked form load.
  Error code: 1275 "
  (I rolled points instead of less interesting part of this message.

  My system is Vista Business 64 - bit SP1.

  I turned off User Account Control (in fact it the first thing I did after installing Vista ;)).
  And just to be safe, I also tried to right click on the S10V600.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator".
  I was using the admin account.

  Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Concerning

  Maybe it's because you have installed Vista 64-bit?

  You may need to use XP or Vista 32 bit update of the BIOS.

• Satellite A100 - 003 WLAN (with WPA - PSK) connection timeout

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-003 with preinstalled in Windows Vista.
  When I try to connect to my router with WPA - PSK (TKIP) I have error:
  Wireless authentication failed because of a time-out.
  My laptop and the router configured properly! I installed the new drivers intel 3945ABG chip.
  WPA2-PSK and WEP are working very well.

  Hello

  The same thing happened on my old laptop.
  I was not able to establish the WiFi connection for more than 1 min with WPA encryption.
  I downloaded the latest Atheros driver and updated everything.
  Everything works very well with WEP but not WPA.

  Then I disabled the option to clean Windows configuration and use the Atheros utility. Now everything works fine!
  I recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all the possible settings!

• Satellite A100-803 - motherboard problem

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Toshiba A100-803, two years ago and now I can't turn on the PC.
  We check the laptop and the problem is on the motherboard.

  Anyone know who is motherboard´s ID? Thank you

  Hello

  The motherboard is Toshiba.
  You must use motherboards manufactured for Satellite/Satellite Pro/Equium A100.

  So you can use google to get a new motherboard, or you can request an ASP for help.
  You can order the partner service authorized in your country but new mobo mobo costs a small fortune.

• Toshiba Satellite L50 - Wireless / WLan problems

  I bought Toshiba Satellite L50.

  I really bard WIFI reception - good now I sat 2 meters between the router and I have only 2-3 bars.
  If I am to 7 meters away, I have no reception at all.

  There is no problem with the router, I checked with other devices (phones, laptops).

  When I'm with a direct access to the internet with internet LAN cable is always at maximum speed.

  I made sure that I have the most up-to-date drivers for my network card.

  How can I solve this?

  No one can help?

• Satellite L850 - weird noise problem (not events)

  Hello

  I have a weird problem with my laptop. Since a few days, my laptop started to make a little noise from the base of the laptop.
  I care because during the day I don't even notice, but now (it's 05:00)
  Clearly, I hear a noise coming from the base.

  It has not happened before and I don't know what could be, because the strangest thing is that, according to Toshiba Health Monitor, fan is 0% (because I'm on mode eco and do nothing to do) and the CPU is at 48th. As you can imagine, my laptop is far from heating.

  Then, where this noise could come from?
  Now, I know that this isn't the ventilation openings, but something inside the laptop (maybe HARD drive?)

  And I'm confident in the vents because the vents start to operate when I load a movie or game, and when start knocking noise that I do not speak of persists.

  It's not embarrassing, because I have to be in complete silence to hear it. As I said, I don't notice the noise when it is diurnal, and I could live with it, but not knowing this noise source makes me a bit paranoid. I bought a month ago, so I don't think that I have to clean.

  Thank you.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to tell where the noise is coming so if you want to solve this problem I think you should bring to the nearest post of Toshiba and the guy there it should check. Guarantee is valid if repairs must be free.

  Can you tell us what part of your laptop is this noise?

• Satellite C660 2QH WLAN problem--loss of connection all the ~ 30 min

  Hello world

  I just bought a SAT C660 nine Toshiba and I faced a strange problem - I lose the internet connection every 30 minutes for about 3-5 minutes, then it connects all of a sudden again.

  I've been reading about the problem here and I fixed my power settings (although this also occurs when the laptop is plugged in), and I installed the new WLAN driver: 1005.19.0420.2011 (my Wireless LAN Adapter is: 8188CE). I thought that he that could have the problem in my anti-virus program, so I uninstalled. A few restarts later everything was as before - problem persists.

  Help, please!

  PS. I'm from Germany, where this is relevant.

  Hello

  Are you sure this isn't question of Wlan router?
  It would be interesting to know if you have the same problems with other devices connected to the Wlan.

  Next to the idea that this could be a router issue I think you should check some WLan Card settings.
  In the Wlan card-> properties-> tab Device Manager to disable the option to turn off the device to save power.

  You said that you have installed/updated test driver the driver from Realtek page too.

• Satellite A100-496: WLan authentication failed because of incorrect password

  Friends,

  I use Intel PROSet Wireless user interface to connect to my wireless router.
  Because of this process, I have disabled my windows for wireless control configuration.

  However, despite the use of the property of device correct password and the password, I am unable to connect to my WiFi router.

  I get an error stating
  * "Authentication failed because of incorrect security password." *

  I use the same password key to connect wirelessly through my other laptops, and they work fine...

  I can't find the reason for this failure of authentication...
  All the world is facing a similar problem?

  Is there a way I can allow windows to control my authtication rather than Intel PRO Wireless...

  Please guide me...

  Kind regards
  Dhiraj Shetty

  Hello

  Again activate the Windows configuration and use Windows WLAN options to configure WLAN connectivity. To be honest, using Intel PROSet, this should work too.
  Try to remove the protection of password on your router for a moment and test the connectivity. To be honest, I'm sure that there is something wrong with the settings of your laptop.

  By the way: what operating system do you use?

• Satellite A100 - battery replacement problem

  My original battery died after four years. I thought that I'm ok with the machine in general and decided to buy a new battery... I found the following on a Russian in line-shop local, they say, these models will be adapted to my laptop (A100 psaan series):

  PA3465U 4400mAh
  PA3478U 6600mAh
  PA3400U 8800mAh

  My old battery is PA3399U-2BRS 4000 mAh

  1 will they really for me?

  2. is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (weight and dimensions are not critical, after all, the laptop is not so small; reliability and long service life is important)

  3. perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?

  4. not sure how "real" these components are... Perhaps, someone could recommend a reliable supplier?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I found a compatible battery on the European Toshiba options & accessories page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/optionsAndAccessoriesHome.do?
  Battery (Li-ion, 4000mAh, 6 cells) PA3465U-1BRS

  >. Is it worth to buy a large capacity battery? (
  Well, if you travel a lot and need to use the laptop with battery, so I recommend buying a stronger battery.

  > 3. Perhaps, it is best to buy a 'standard' size battery to ensure that the conditions of charge-discharge designed or something? They will be charged without problems as overheating/underload?
  You must always use original parts and compatible Toshiba. In this case, the parties should work together without big problems.

  > 4. Not sure how "real" these components are... Perhaps, someone could recommend a reliable supplier?
  Recommend buying the battery from Toshiba ASP (partner) in your country. In this case, you can be 100% certain that the original parts
