Satellite A200-1AE: Toshiba hardware utility - "serial number is invalid '.

Dear Sirs,

I have install Vista Business on my A200-1AE (origin, it was the home of top). I have install all the drivers except TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility. Then I try to install it says 'serial number is invalid '.

Help how to install it and what can be a problem?

Hello

To my knowledge, this error message might appear for different reasons.
First this error by using applications that was not designed for this series of laptop.
Satellite A200-1AE belongs to the PSAECE series. Have you downloaded the tools and drivers for this series?

Please check this!

Second, the error of incorrect serial number appears if the wrong DMI information was stored on the system board.
This could happen for example if a technician has not updated the DMI after a motherboard replacement.

Finally and above all, it s that you have not installed all the drivers and applications in the right order.
You must check the installation instruction txt file and need to install the drivers in the order mentioned in this file.

Good luck

  • Issue of Satellite A200 - 1 GB PSAE6 Flashcards - serial number is invalid

    Hi all.

    I need help with something for my sore head... :D

    Today, I had to turn to the zone updates and to see a newer version for the Flashcard, so I donwloaded and install, but now start problems...

    at the start of the installation it says that need to uninstall the old version, then ok I accept, then restart and exec that the flashcards program installation, but now I get error "serial number is invalid '. I come here looking for a solution and read that I have to reinstall the VAP (I had installed the version of vap-20080109135106).

    Before the error windows if poster, a DOS window opens and closes automatically with this message from command line: "connected to the ROOT\CIMV2 namespace", while the error comes: S

    Again once I uninstall the VAP, restart, clean with ccleaner, reboot, reinstall the VAP, restart, install the most recent Flashcards... surprise and... again the same error... The serial number is not valid

    I tried all the steps once again and get the error more another time.

    For the third test, I just installed the VAP and seen that the included flashcards have been installed and working... but not so easy... they don't work when you press the combination FN + Fx only works if I move the mouse over them... exactly the only combinations of work are the FN + F10 & FN + F11.

    The FN key works, because as I said before the two combinations and the green light when you press ok blinks.

    So now I have a VAP flashcards who (not upgrading) works only with the mouse or touchpad click. If I press FN + something nothing happens (except the F10 F11 keys).

    Goin whats here? I am really frustrated with this happen.

    PS: I am sure that the version of updates are just pattées portable model...
    I also tried to install version olders flashcards and PPV that I had on a backup driver cd and nothing happens, the same situation and erros... (FSCC-20080307104403 & FSCC-20070809135810)

    Please I need something :D

    Please anyone who can help?

  • Satellite A200-1AE: Toshiba Disc Creator and DVD MovieFactory missing after update

    No idea how to get this software?

    Thanks, Bojan

    It seems that your Vista upgrade crashed the previous settings and therefore applications such as TOSHIBA Disc Creator and DVD Movie Factory has disappeared

  • 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,

    Goran

    Hi Goran

    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.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200-1AE: How can I configure the settings of buttons Dual Mode Pad?

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite A200-1AE. I tried to configure the default first button on my touch pad (lower left) so that I can fire up MSWord, but it did not work.

    Now every time I have set the mode button and press this button, that nothing not to pass - I lost practically this button.

    My question is how can I configure the mode button on the touch pad settings? Even if I was able to start a program by using the 3 buttons how can I modify these programs?

    Thanks for your help!

    p.s. I read the extended version of the manual for my laptop. There is no explanation of my problem - it says I should look "Synaptics Dual Mode Pad properties.

    I don't know where are these properties.

    Hello

    It s is not so difficult as you think, the properties of the synaptics are in the "mouse properties" of your "Control Panel" of windows. When you reach the 'mouse', then click on the "Advanced" tab and you should find a button 'Advanced functionality settings'.
    It could be that the button is not named as mine, but it must be identical.
    After clicking on it, you should look for this 'easy' Launcher in one of the tabs.

    I think that you will make it, but I'd like some feedback from you.

  • Satellite A200-1AE does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive

    I have a problem because my satellite A200-1AE with Microsoft Vista does not recognize the USB 2.0 flash drive. He asks me a program/software!
    The same USB works without problem on other computers with vista!

    Someone knows what to do?

    Hello

    First of all, you must disconnect all USB devices and must remove the USB ports and controllers in the Device Manager.
    After this procedure, you must restart the laptop. After a new restart the Vista operating system should recognize the USB ports and should reinstall USB drivers again.

    Then you must update the Vista to the State! All fixes and patches must be installed. Please note that you will have to visit the MS Update site for all patches

    Notes; MS has released a beta of Vista SP1. I installed it on my laptop and it has solved several problems.

    Best regards
