Satellite A100: What is a small gray rectangle with a small red circle icon in the taskbar

Hello

I recently bought a new laptop Toshiba A100 and have noticed an icon in the system tray is not no matter what description nor can I get rid of him.
I tried to change the setting of this icon to hide, but it seems to reappear minutes later.

It looks like a small gray rectangle with a small red circle in the lower right corner with a cross on it goes diagonally through the top left corner to the lower right.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you
Colin

You probably mean the disabled touchpad?
You can disable and enable the function FN + F9

    Original title: Internet wireless connection

    I use a PC & a cable modem wireless to connect to the Internet.  When I start the computer, sometimes the icon in the taskbar indicates that it is connected to a network that is not identified.  I wait a few minutes until what he says at last he is identified & seems to work very well.  The only other issue I see is once in a while after it is connected, I noticed that it is to identify the network connection, but I see no problem to surf the web.  This could be a looming problem with the modem, or is it something else?  Should I consider it as my modem is still under warranty?  ARRIS / Motorola wants to charge a diagnostic fee is why I write on this forum first.

    Don't worry, buddy... I don't see any serious reason why would be supported not the 320 GB SATA HARD drive.
    The SATA controller must handle the tough without major problems.

    It is important that you use a HARD SATA 2.5 ". The size and speed of the HARD drive should not affect compatibility.

    If you have recently had a person connect to your computer to help you with a problem they cannot remotely close the support window when done, you should probably just with the right button of the tile in the taskbar and select close.

  • Satellite A100 - 065 (PSAANA) - can I spend it with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello Forum!

    I want to upgrade to a hard disk of 120 GB (Hitachi) to a 500 GB (Western Digital). I don't know if this A100 supports SATA2.

    I think it's to do with the hard disk controllers that are on the motherboard. This is information I don't think (using the pc Wizard). I am very happy to use a SATA drive, if it is the one which is compatible, but if it supports SATA 2, then obviously I would install a because they are 3GB of bandwidth instead of 1.5 GB as SATA.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that my hard drive is full.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can use a SATA2 HDD without problems. These discs hard are compatible downgrade to the old SATA1 standard, so you can use 500 GB HARD drive, as you suggested.
    But don t forget it will not work with SATA1 speeds, but this should not be a problem normally.

    So have fun with the new HARD drive! ;)

    Good bye

  • Last updated by Satellite A100-289 with a new CPU and additional RAM

    Hello. Sorry for my English in advance :) I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-289. Despite I am satisfied with the laptop, it is possible for me to update, so I have a few questions on this topic.

    Fact laptop support Modules-SO-DIMM 2 GB of RAM? Also, what mobile CPU is supported for upgrade? Is it possible to replace the Core 2 Duo T5500 (default), with a few other Core 2 Duo processor, such as T7400, T7600, T7700? And if I install a new processor, it will influence the energy consume and warming temperatures drastically?

    Thanks :)

    Hello

    with regard to your question: Yes you can.
    Usually your chipset is capable of a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, but due to the limitation of the slots (Slot 1 cannot handle a 1 GB module), you can move only to 2 GB maximum, because your machine has only 2 slots.

    And what with your CPU? You can certainly try, but you won´t have a lot of luck. Excluding the small fact that each machine has it s own system of cooling for the processor which is equipped with this machine.
    the won´t CPU run at full speed.

    Why not? The problem is and now speak from experience;) that when you replace the processor in a processor intel pentium M or Core(2 Duo) system, something in the bios change, then the new processor
    will not properly recognized. And then the old? Nope. After you swap the CPU, you will have to bring your machine to an ASP.

    They have software that reactive something in the BIOS and the CPU runs at full speed. Since then they to the ASP will notice that you tried to Exchange something in the Board of Directors,
    you will face a cancellation of the guarantee and you will have to pay for everything that happens to be broken after the revocation.

    So I propose: update your RAM, but don t touch your CPU.

    Have a nice weekend

  • Satellite A100-153 is going on but then nothing happen

    Hello

    My Toshiba Satellite A100-153(PSAA9E-00D006GR) going on but then nothing!
    Nothing is displayed on the screen, no beeps, no flashing!

    I plugged with monitor external, thinking that the display was damaged but noway!
    I brought in an experienced friend who told me that it would be likely that the graphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon x 1600) has been damaged.
    Why not the CPU?

    Does anyone have any experience with such a model of Satellite with similar problem?

    Please help and thanks in advance

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem but I n t want to speculate what part could be affected
    Your friend said it could be a GPU (graphics card), but I think it's only a hypothesis and it could also be a CPU problem or card problem or mother or other material, a part

    I think that nobody will be abele to say what part failures without performing detailed diagnostic tests
    I think you agree with me

    What you can try to do is this short workaround:
    -Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
    -wait a bit (1 h >) and reconnect the two part
    -try to turn on the laptop

    If it does not, then, the unique physical part should be checked
    I think that this can be done by a technician laptop because these guys have had enough resources to run these tests
