Satellite A200 - 13O - lose 3mm of the monitor

Hello.

I have an A200-13O and lately I saw something weird. There is a part of the lcd screen that appears to be unusable, is not only on Windows, but even when starting (when the toshiba logo appears).

I'm referring to a black vertical space about 3 mm of width, which occupies the left side of the screen (from top to bottom). He is not breaking up the image into two parts or something similar, or the view seems truncated. It's just a gap of 3mm between the left edge of the screen and the edge which the visible part begins. I hope my description can help.

Is this a harware failure? Could it be due to use?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

PS1. I'm using the latest drivers intel GMA 945.
PS2. It is not a problem of window function.

Hello

In my opinion it's nothing serious and I don't think that this could be a problem!
On my laptop the 2mm (maybe 3mm) black box appears around the screen.

Anyway, please go to the Intel GMA Mobile driver that is located in the control panel (switch to Classic view) Vista
In the Intel GMA Mobile driver please select the display settings and check image format options.
Maybe you will find an option that could help resolve this small frame!

    Now, it's been fixed 2 or 3 times and something bad again.

    During the start-up and nothing loading appear on-screen until load and displays the Windows desktop.
    Photo looks a bit distorted (especially fonts and icons, its flattened) and the whole picture is very distorted.
    Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the chipset and display drivers - nothing happened.
    It seems to me that something happened with the graphics card (Intel® GMA 950).

    So, I * 2 questions: *
    1 is anyone facing the same problems? How to solve it?
    2 maybe someone know the * motherboard number * of the exact model laptop to replace.

    * I appreciate any assistance. Thank you in advance to help.*
    P.S.: OS - Windows XP Pro SP2

    Have you noticed the same thing on the external monitor?
    If Yes, then a graphics chip can be affected in such a case, the whole motherboard has to be replaced because the GPU seems to be part of the motherboard.

    > 2. Maybe someone knows the reference number of the exact model of laptop motherboard to replace.
    In my opinion, the replacement of the motherboard is very costly affair usually, you have to spend 200-350 for a new or second hand and in my opinion motherboard it s too

    If this would be my computer, I sell this unit (ebay, etc) and offered to buy a new unit under warranty
    By the way: new motherboard can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP.

    Hello world
    I'm Dimitris in Athens, Greece, and this is the first time that I use this Forum.
    I bought a Satellite A200-13o and I'm looking for a keyboard protector to avoid damage caused by spills possible drink etc.
    I refer to these silicone protectors which fit exactly on each specific keyboard and are washable.
    I looked on the internet and there is a certain protectors of this kind for Toshiba laptops, but I couldn't find one for the A200-13o.

    The Canada Toshiba offers protection for the A200 series but model (following the designation of A200) numbers are different in North America and I don't know the correlation of the European models with the those North America.
    You can check the protector of the keyboard said to

    I think that he should t be a problem using this HARD drive in your laptop A200.
    The A200 has been equipped with SATA HDD too.

    But as far as I know it's a SATA (SATA/150) HARD drive. You HDD seems to be a SATA II HDD (SATA/300), but the controller is compatible to the bottom and must be able to handle this HARD drive.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: Impossible to install the audio drivers after installing Win XP realtek

    Hello...

    Recently, I repartitioned my laptop HD to install XP and kubuntu (it came with vista)... However, I was not able to install audio drivers for its audio devices...

    The laptop is a toshiba Satellite A200-PSAE6E and everest indicates the following audio controllers:

    ATI hd 2xxx hdmi @ ati radeon hd 2600 - controller high definition audio
    Realtek alc268 @ intel 82801hbm ich8m - audio controller high definition

    First I tried to download the audio drivers high definition realtek web site (32-bit version of windows xp). I tried to run the installation, manually navigating to WDM file during the installation of the pilot and navigation manually the folders where the drivers have been copied during the installation under c:\windows\system32\... all to nothing done...

    Then I tried to download drivers toshiba official of the support web site of europe from toshiba for the realtek chip... I've lived the same behavior (both when you run the Setup program and install manually force pilots)

    Then I tried to download the drivers for ATI HDMI audio device from realtek website... with the same results...

    Windows tells me that it was impossible to find a driver in the any of the archives...

    The only thing that could be the culprit because as far as I can tell, is that I installed service pack 3 RC2...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Tasos

    P.S. I've tried the two automatic installation through specification of a folder and choose the options "I will manually choose a driver from the list" in the hardware installation wizard... the result is always the same... Note that the audio works perfectly under ubuntu...

    P.S.2 IMPORTANT! I recently discovered that toshiba offers bios versions for the A200 PSAE6E depending on if it is equipped with windows xp or vista...

    This refers to which the operating system has been installed when the system was purchased, or the operating system that is currently used? Can I upgrade the Bios of my laptop with the XP version or this break from things?

    Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
    Is it only a CRT monitor available?
    The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

    Seems you did something wrong during the disassembly procedure.
    No one will be able to tell what is badly done, it is that you did something that infringes on the motherboard or another party

    It s really not advisable to disassemble laptops because the procedure is delicate and during removal, you can damage parts of the essential equipment

    In my opinion, you should get in contact with a technician who could run some tests or check parts of a malfunction

  • Satellite A200-1ax: could not get the BT working on Win XP

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop satellite a200-1ax. I installed Windows XP sp2.
    My problem is that I can't get the bluetooth work. I have installed a Toshiba bluetooth driver and nothing. When I try to install the bluetooth stack Toshiba the instalation stops at the driver part and won't. I tried, and left for more than 2 hours and it was not moving.

    When I opened my device manager there is no place where a bluetooth connection is mentioned. In the bluetooth of the 5 information system services where collapsed and to manual start. I tried to start manually services.msc, but there was no available bluetooth service.

    You have to add that I have 3 elements in with question marks Device Manager:
    1. mass storage controller
    2. feature modem on high definition audio bus
    3 PCI memory controller.

    If anyone can help with the problem of bluetooth, or three missing drivers, please do :)

    Hello

    The Bluetooth should work!
    The laptop supports the BT module, and I think that you have not properly installed.

    Firstly don mix t the monitor BT with BT stack. You need the BT stack!
    I think that you should remove the software BT OS and after that new reboot should try to reinstall again.

    Then you must enable BT using the Fn + F8 key to complete the configuration of BT!

    Other devices such as PCI memory controller and mass storage controller. Are not supported by Windows XP and therefore there is no drivers!
