Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 - whistle problem

Hello..

I have the computer model toshiba laptop: Satellite A200 - 1 m 8

OS: Win XP SP3

I don't know, but sometimes something in my laptop randomly and suddenly made like noise or whistle, but NOT clicks when your hard drive is going to die.

It's exactly like the sounds to the Hospital of pulsating heart on the machine when he moves to lower the level or milder to strongest level.

I don't know if it's the hard drive, but my hard drive seems in good health and that this thing is happening for a long time.

I'm not too sure if it is the processor, if it becomes overheated or overclocked, but I have not noticed issues freezing while it happened once.

What's the battery when the power level of electricity changes?

What could be the reason?

Thank you...

Hi mate

You should know that the laptop was equipped with parts that could create different noises.
For example, the HARD disk, modules of cooling / cooling fan.

So it's not easy to say what role create these noises.
I'm sure that it s not a CPU or a sign of overheating because in this case the laptop stops down automatically to prevent the equipment from damage.

Maybe it s HARD drive and head disk HARD creates this noise while moving?  :| who knows

But in my opinion you should always create a backup of your files because if it of really a HDD issue there is a risk of damage to the HARD drive.
So save the date if you have some important data on the HARD drive.

It must be said that if you aren't 100% sure, what causes this noise then visit the ASP and the technician could check the hardware

See you soon

  • Satellite A200-AH1 does not start problem

    I have this Toshiba Satellite A200 - AH1 laptop computer that will not start.

    The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).

    When I remove 1 stick, the system starts without a problem, if I replace it, and the other, the laptop boots also upwards. I tested the two ram slots and ram spent each time.

    The problem of the laptop does not start only seems to happen when the laptop has installed two sticks. I tried even to 2 different new corresponding sticks and still nothing until I remove 1 piece of ram.

    Everyone encountered this problem before?
    Any ideas what the problem may be.

    My only other option would be to install a single piece of 1 GB of ram, but I would really like a better option.

    Thanks in advance...

    You got your laptop with these memory modules?
    Are you sure that you are using compatible RAM (DDR2-667)?

  • Satellite A200-23U - strange Grapich/display problem

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-23U and it has a problem... sometimes graphics seems worse suddenly or are destroyed. A simple reboot can operate correctly, but it is very possible to reproduce... when I say that the graphics are getting worse I mean the resolution becomes a little bit worse, and the colors are unacceptable... some waves are created and the areas that were almost of the same color before the problem are now surrounded by a ring-wave , they have only one color with no shading and a few white spots are in these areas... after the restart, everything is ok...!

    I think the problem happens when the laptop is hot, but I'm not sure because he appeared also when the laptop was working only a few minutes in a cold environment and sometimes the device can be turned on for long hours and very hot, but the problem does not appear... Where did you think is the problem?

    The possible reasons, I can think of is the monitor or the cable that connects the graphics card with the monitor. Another reason that I n t think it's quite possible is the graphics card. I think this is less possible because if the problem exists on my laptop and I connect to another external screen as my TV, the problem still exists on the screen of the laptop, but the image on the external monitor is perfect...

    I'm ready to put new and bigger (2 GB I'll put 4gp) memory ram because the graphics card uses the RAM and the RAM is very high work when I play a game or watch a move.

    Do you think it will help or solve problems? What do you think I could do?

    Hi John

    What then? As I see you have good test connect your laptop to the TV. Always is that this test can help you see if the problem can be related to the graphics card, but if there is no problem graphics card is probably OK and this graphic problem must relate to something else.

    Of course, this virtual path, no one will be able to offer the exact diagnosis and say what can be the problem and we can only speculate what part of the material may be troublemaker.

    In my opinion there must be a problem between the motherboard and display. I don t think that the display is faulty, but perhaps the cable must be exchanged, perhaps connector on motherboard make problems. It is not easy to say what to do.

    Fact is that analysis only offer exact answer so I think you need professional help with this.
    Maybe you should contact the closest service Toshiba and ask for help. Let them check it all and ordering new parts if necessary.

    I put t think that you want to risk and disassemble the laptop everything yourself, have you?

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3C - Flashcards support utility problem

    Hello
    I use the psae3c-ft108c Toshiba Satellite A200 model I purchased in the Canada. I m problem with Toshiba flash cards support utility.

    I formatted my laptop (vista home premium) and installed vista Ultimate edition a few days ago. I installed all the drivers, I had no problem until I installed comodo firewall pro (I don't know this comodo firewall causing the problem until I did research on the internet).
    After installing comodo firewall the FN key does not work and started to crash and he showed me a blue screen. I have restarted my laptop and tried the FN key, but it shows the blue screen still :(

    So I uninstalled the extra package of flash support utility and value cards and I tried to reinstall the flash cards support utility, but he continues to shows me the message that says "the product [2] is already installed, preventing the installation of this product. The two products are incompatible"value-added packaged installs well but since flash cards support utility will not be installed, I can't use the FN keys with keyboards... (I can use flash with mouse however cards)

    I uninstalled comodo firewall and tried to install the flash utility maps, but it does not work either...

    I don't know what to do... Please help me

    p.s
    Sorry for my messy :(writing I m an international student.

    I always use the freeware CCLeaner. It cleans the keys to registry and file systems, etc.
    I always use it after that a piece of software has been removed from the system.

    So you should this; After PPV was removed, allows to run the CCLeaner and before you install the new VAP to restart the laptop!

  • Memory of Satellite A200 - 12 X increases the problem

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200 12 x (PSAECE) with Windows7-64 bit and I tried to increase its memory. This laptop has 2 GB (4 GB MAX), so I bought a 2 GB card to try and everything was ok. So I bought another stick of memory 2 GB, the same model as precedent, and after installing Windows said: installed 4 GB - 3 GB usable.

    My first thought went into the BIOS, so I tried an upgrade for him, but there are only two updates of BIOS for this laptop: Windows vista 1.8 (I have it) and Windows XP 5.2.

    Is there any way that I can take to achieve the increase in memory? or this upgrade possible memory to 4 GB was just a marketing hook.

    Thank you.

    David

    >... or this possible memory to 4 GB upgrade was just a marketing hook.
    How much RAM is recognized in the BIOS?

  • Satellite A200 "locked by another application" problem may be solved...

    Well,.

    Although I searched a lot in this forum I failed to find a solution to this problem of webcam.
    In any case, I've tried a few things and I found this:

    My system is A200-1AE (PSAECE) satellite running windows vista 32-bit

    Go to Device Manager.
    Find imaging devices.
    Under imaging devices, there is our webcam.
    Right-click on the webcam, and then select Update driver software.
    In the new window, select "Browse my computer for driver software".
    In the new page, select "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.
    Click "Show compatible hardware" and you will have 3 options:
    -Chicony USB 2.0 Camera
    -Chicony USB 2.0 Camera
    USB video device-
    Select "USB video device" and click "Next".

    Windows will now begin to install the driver.
    Once installation is complete vista may ask for a reboot.

    I must tell you that, after that I followed these steps, my webcam works perfectly for about 4-5 hours.
    I also restarted my laptop and it continues to go well.

    What is described above worked perfectly for me so far.
    If you want to try that I take no responsibility is something bad happens.
    I'm just telling you what I did.

    But it seems ok now.

    Please give some feedback.
    Thanx.

    Looks interesting, maybe if other users will report on their experience with your solution, we could do some general post about it with solutions around this whole subject. :)

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB and the problem of build-in microphone

    My microphone build-in does not work. I tried to play with all the options in my volume controls and my webcam software.
    What can I do else? Is there a driver for him ' cos from what I've read, it came with the driver for the webcam.
    Furthermore, I went down to XP just now and I think remember that she was working with vista. So I think this isn't a hardware problem.

    Thank you.

    Check the settings of the sound, if the microphone muted or quiet?
    I think you have the Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager (you can find it in the control panel), there you can also check the settings.

    Are you yellow marks in Device Manager?

    You downgrade Windows Vista to XP with a Toshiba Recovery disk? All readers are included in Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Satellite A200 works fine on battery but hangs when adding power supply.

    Hello
    I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200. I have no problem when I charge the battery and just run the battery, however, as soon as I plug in the adapter and I have problems.

    The machine seems to freeze and the screen has different colours in the lines and blocks.
    I bought a new adapter, but same problem persists.

    I think that this is without a doubt for professionals and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider.
    Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

    The A200 is older model laptop and I can't imagine you have been faced with a question described the first day so I'm afraid that there must be some hardware problem and to fix it you need professional help m.

  • Satellite A200 - please I need help, the screen goes pink and green

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite A200 and I have a problem with my screen. It appears suddenly pink and green and it resolves on its own or when I close the lid. It starts from the Toshiba logo before windows logon. Please help me, thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You can try to find what's wrong with your laptop if you would connect it to the external monitor.
    If the same question would be visible on the second, the external monitor then this screen problem could be related to the graphics chip.

    If the image on the external monitor would be nice laptop computer s internal monitor could be faulty.

    However, in both cases, you must contact the ASP in your country for replacement.

    Good luck
