Satellite A200-1AB - computer initializes partially

Hi all

My satellite A200 - 1AB that partially goes to market and all I get is a black screen before the computer showing the log on screen. I am running Windows Vista and I wonder if anyone can help?

With the power cord plugged in, I press the button and the computer begins to initialize. I see the Windows Vista "loading bar" that scrolls from left to right and then the screen turns gray (with back-light black) and I don't see anything except the small blue on light.

I tried pressing F8 and choose 'last good config known' but which does not always work - get a black screen.

I managed to start the computer in safe mode (to restore), but the success of the startup in safe mode is random.

I noticed that if I leave the laptop for about 30 minutes or so things work a little better and I can get the computer to work in safe mode for example for at least 5 minutes or similar. Initially, I thought it was the cooling fan, but who still works and I cleaned using an air blower.

Can anyone help or make a suggestion on what could be the problem?

Thanks T

PS: I have once to see the activity of the system. and he showed that a day or two ago there was a driver from windows update. This could affect the PC maybe?

Hello

Yes, perhaps he could the reason for the update of the driver on the Windows Update page. I have never installed these drivers because they are not pre-tested on Toshiba laptops, so I always use the drivers from the page.

In any case, I think that you need to reinstall Windows, if you can start t in normal mode. You can use the HARD drive recovery option that only takes a few minutes to reinstall Windows. If you go into the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer. Some files are loaded, then you can choose the Toshiba HARD drive recovery service. Now follow the instructions on the screen.
But don't forget that all the data on the first partition will be erased!

Good bye

    Hello
    AI? have a Satellite A200-1AB, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, which has 1 GB of RAM (2 512 MB memory). Now, I want to increase RAM of 2 GB capacity. If I change only one of his memories from 512 MB to 2 GB will work as 2.5 MB or it is not possible?
    I should the match two memoirs of 1 GB each to get 2 GB instead?
    If I have 1 GB + 2 GB will work as a 3 GB?
    What is the limitation of the RAM on this laptop?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    When you place a modules of 2 GB and 512 MB set you will have 2.5 GB RAM memory installed. It works, if Don t be in doubt (times have changed and we now live in a world with memory DDR which is more flexible than the RAM EDO or SD - RAM) the work of configuration and it s possible.
    Visit this link to learn more about RAM and its possibilities.

    To match the modules is always a good idea since then the modules will work in the "DUAL-Channel" mode that brings a few more performance.
    Here´s a link with more information about DUAL-Channel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_channel

    Yes, 1 + 2 GB configuration works also but not in DUAL-Channel mode.

    The limitation of the RAM is 4 GB, but you cannot use the entire 4GB reason some chipset of the limits.

  • Faster CPU for Satellite A200-1AB

    Hello

    No one knows what would be the fastest possible processor I could put in an A200-1AB or where I might be able to find the information.

    It comes with a c2d T5300 which is 1.7 ghz/533bus... I hope that it can take 667bus chips speed but for the life of me can not find information on the mother or this card that it accepts.

    Any info appreciated :)

    Tom

    Sorry, but I don't really understand you. You buy laptop latest, and after a few days you think CPU upgrade. For me, it's very strange. Why?

    Usually before purchasing laptop or laptop even, it is useful to take some info on the hardware. You know very well what you want to do with your laptop and it is logical that you should buy the right equipment for your needs.

    I will say that there are many models A200 with much better equipment and performance graphs than yours. Why you didn t pay 300 Euros more for best laptop?

    Just to be clear: the CPU upgrade is not taken in charge and everything you do is at your own risk. If you open the notebook the warranty will be cancelled definitively. If you need more performance upgrade of RAM to the maximum level. It will be much cheaper and without any risk.

    Sorry because I didn t give you info on compatible CPU, but I just wanted to write my comment on upgrade CPU on the new laptops.

  • Do not start by Satellite A200-1AB

    I bought this laptop about 6 months ago.
    I don't use it that much, came to use yesterday, would not start.
    Thought the battery must be dead. Plugged the AC, nothing. No ac light.

    I took the cable ca to my store of the local computer.
    He did a test on this issue and he said that's fine.

    Anyone has any ideas what this could be?
    Thanks for any help.

    Try to remove the battery from the laptop and unplug the AC for about 20 min.
    Then, connect the new and try turning on the laptop.

    If this does not help to remove the battery and connect only the AC to laptop and try to start the laptop.
    That's all you can do.
    If this is not always useful, so there no other way to contact the technicians in your country.

    The authorized service partner must check the laptop.
    Because the laptop is about 6 months, the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free.

    Good luck

  • Re: Satellite A200-1AE does not work

    Hello!

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1AE computer that does not work.

    I use (d) for educational purposes and now the problem is that it will display no signs of life. the blue led light on the front of it does not illuminate when I connect it to the AC/DC adapter.

    I tested the AC/DC adapter with a voltmeter (it came with the computer in the box of the card when I bought the computer) and it works well.

    Yes, the battery could be dead also, but it should work just fine without it and is not.

    What to do about this problem?

    He has a dead motherboard? No, I can't be brave enough to think about.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance for your reply,

    Everything is possible... also a dead motherboard.
    But to make sure exactly what s laptop computer checking is necessary.

    So, you will need to contact the ASP in your country for the control of the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 is not booting

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer and can't run. The system itself is about a year. I just came in this morning and my laptop was on the second screen when the system is started and now that's going to go.

    When I press on the power button it takes a lot more time then he does usually for the monitor the screen Toshiba (probably about 10 seconds). Then he stay on it for 5 to 10 seconds and then it goes to the next screen where it shows the rights of author and media RXE Roma or other...
    I would really appreciate if someone could provide an overview of this. My computer knowledge is thin so to speak clearly please lol.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jackson

    Depending on your message, Notepad starts, but the installed operating system does not start
    There may be something with the HARD drive or with the operating system on the disk HARD questions are possible, and that's why I would recommend restoring the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD. You can try to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and could attempt to reinstall the system.

    If this is not possible, the HARD drive is ok and there was just something wrong with the software on the HARD disk.
    But if the new installation of the operating system is not possible, then chances are that your HARD drive is dead and should be replaced.

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

  • Satellite A200 HDD player upgrade

    Hello

    My Satellite A200-1AB has a GB MK8037GSX hard drive.
    It is in working condition, but I would like to replace it with a disc of larger capacity, say 500 GB.

    Can someone tell me if this would be simple, for example a new SATA 2.5 "would be compatible?

    I have the recovery CD product of Windows Vista Home Premium that came with the machine and assume that I can swap drives and reinstall from the CD.

    Thank you

    Hello

    SATA controller is not limited to a specific size of the HARD drive, so it shouldn't be big problem with bigger hard drives like 500 GB.
    It is important that you would use SATA 2.5 HDD

  • Satellite A200 - no audio device after the awakening of the mode 'sleep' or 'putting into hibernation'

    I own a Satellite A200 laptop computer with Windows Vista.

    Sometimes when I put my laptop in 'stand by' mode or 'Hibernate', he wakes up with no audio device. (Error - no installed audio device). The problem is solved by restarting my computer, or by placing it in the back to 'stand by' and turning it back on.

    I reinstalled my OS using the recovery cd - and the exsists yet problem.
    (Version 1.30, Audio bios driver ver. 6.0.1.5374)

    Is this a known problem or is it just my computer? I'm afraid that it is a hardware problem. (The laptop is less then 1 month).

  • Satellite A200-1SM is slow after installing Vista

    Hello.

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200-1sm computer.
    Yesterday I installed Alcohol 120% program and something happened.
    My computer stoped working and a restart and blue screen.

    After that, I installed the Windows Vista again and installed the driver.
    My processor is slow (before this happened was 3.8 after 4.6 and 4.5 memory after 2.7) and my memory is slow.

    Help

    Hello

    I installed the tool Alcohol 120% a few months ago too and as far as I know this software creates virtual drives and you can emulate max 31 readers.

    I m not 100% sure, but maybe this could be the reason for your BSOD issues possibly the software isn't 100% compatible with vista OS.

    However, after installation since the laptop recovery CD uses the factory settings and should work fine. I don t think that your laptop works done slower, is that Toshiba picture (from recovery CD) contains a large number of programs that regulates the functions of the laptop and run in the background of the OS. These processes need resources from the laptop, and so the Vista experience index may change.

    This is why I am 100% sure that your laptop is ok.

    You should visit the Websites of Microsoft and should read a little about this index, and how it works.

  • Satellite A200 - overheating all the time

    Hi y ' All

    I have a satellite A200 laptop computer that keeps overheating all the time.
    I tried to do the thing of compressed air and she always does.
    Especially when am games online.
    I've had this laptop for about a year now, and it already has an accident and burn on me and everything lost hard disk.
    But this overheating is really annoying me.
    I still have the clear fan so that it still works ok.
    And there is no dust or dirt there either.
    Can someone tell me what could be the problem?
    And also I would like to know how I can format it so, it doesn't let me do.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated muchly

    See you soon

    Wolfette.

    Do you use the certified Toshiba graphics card driver?
    You should do this in order to ensure that the graphics card would not overheat.
    The driver of Toshiba GPU supports protection against overheating and control the dissipation of the heat created by the graphics chip.

    But if you already use the Toshiba drivers, then the problem could be more complicated.
    In this case, the laptop must be verified by technician ASP.

    Maybe the thermal grease that is placed between the CPU and the GPU must be renewed.
    At the time the thermal fold becomes dry and rough and cannot conduct heat well.

    In many cases, it helps.

    Last but not least, you must use the Toshiba certified graphics card driver because this driver supports protection against overheating and the dissipation of the heat created by the GPU of the controls.
    You must also make sure that the laptop is on the table and that there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.
