Satellite A200-1AG - malfunction of the built-in keyboard

Hi all

Update of the BIOS Toshiba Satellite A200-1AG, but the model was wrong, she was PSAE6E and should be PSAECE.

So everything works ok, external USB keyboard, but using the built-in keyboard certain keys fail IE:

pressing on * e * key I get "egg".
pressing on * i * key I get "egg".
pressing on * 3 * key I get "38".
pressing on * 8 * key I get "38".
pressing on * d * key I get "d".
pressing on *, * key I get "d".

I used a software to quickly show the key and I all 2 keypreses cases are shown.

When I reflash / update the correct BIOS, the problem persists.

This happens in windows under linux OS.

What I could do, I think it's a software / BIOS firmware error (+ could be bios code of the keyboard microcontroller? +), but I'm not sure.

I read some comments SLIC and bios MOD, but it is more difficult for me to understand. I don't know how and if it could be useful.

Assistance may be useful.

Thank you

> So everything works well, also external USB keyboard, but the built-in keyboard some keys fail IE:

This is not a BIOS problem
You said that external keyboard work correctly, this means that keyboard controller and BIOS is OK, but in your case the internal keyboard started to malfunction
This means that the internal keyboard needs to be replaced

By the way: you can not Flash the BIOS to NOT compatible version fact is that the update of the BIOS supports some sort of protection, and the update process wouldn't start using bad BIOS.

  • Satellite A200-1AG - what modules of memory for the upgrade?

    Hello!

    I have a + * Satellite A200-1AG * +. I'm planing to upgrade the memory to 4 GB. Mine uses + (2x1GB) DDR2 - 667 Mhz + and I saw only 2 modules of 2 GB DDR2 - 667 Mhz + cost the same as + 2x2gb DDR2-800 +. I benefit in any way from this upgrade? Can I damage my laptop? I heard that my laptop will work anyway to 667 MHz, but I'd like to know your opinion about it before I buy it.

    Hello

    You can buy both types of module. The point is that the fastest modules (DDR2-800) downgrade always compatible system at low speed. This would mean that the modules will run at 667 MHz.

    So you n t destroy your laptop, it s just a feature. Everything will work correctly.

  • Strange alarm on my satellite A200-1AG

    Hello
    I am a happy owner of the Satellite A200-1AG
    Happy that I'm going to say because I've upgraded from vista to xp and everything works good and pleasant.

    The only problem I have is a weird noise, alarm or something trying to report me something.

    Every day since I bought it, even with the original Vista operating system I hear a strange alarm twice per day, now randomly.
    It's a great long slope noise and low sound short.
    Like this: "peeeeeeeep bwep" lol seems stupid, but it's like that.
    the sound is very loud and annoying and comes from the inside of the laptop.

    In the shop where I bought it, they said I should update my drivers but I have already updated all of them and still the same problem.

    Sometimes it alarms 3times a day, sometimes it pause for 2-3 days and then comes back with the same situation.
    I reinstalled system several times, using third-party drivers, those of origin, Vista, XP pro, XP, XP EU and meh, no results.

    Please, if anyone knows what's going on I would be very happy to hear the solution how to turn it off, how to fix it.

    Thank you

    Hello

  • Impossible to read on my Satellite A200-1AG

    My problem is that I can't play a game on my laptop. I installed Age of Myhology and run very slowly, although my computer meets the recommended system configuration.

    I can't play Fable, either because the screen goes black.
    I thing this is due to the old display driver, but I can't find any new driver.
    I checked for the latest driver, but in the list, it there was only one pilot, and the link is broken, so I can't use this computer for games. Could you help me, please?

    Are there other pages, apart from Toshiba, where can I find a driver for NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 of my Satellite A200-1AG?

  • Satellite A200-1AG shows 0 MB of video memory

    Hello.

    If anyone knows, please reply.

    Hello

    > My laptop says I have 0 MB of video memory.

    What?
    I put t know how you tested or what you did with your laptop but the Satellite A200 - 1AG PSAECE shipped with the nVIDIA GeFoce Go 7300 graphics card and it takes in charge an external with TurboCache video memory.

    Local cache is 64 MB and the TurboCache value depends on the memory key amount for example;
    64 MB turbo cache with 512 MB of RAM memory
    256 MB turbo cache with 1024 MB of RAM memory

    The total video memory is a sum of local cache and Turbo Cache.

    I think that you have checked the graphics card memory simply in the wrong way!

    I tried to increase the fan speed you programs 'ATI Tray Tools', has not helped.

    Please help me with my problem. Sorry for my English

    Hello

    The drivers of Toshiba laptops are a bit different and not the same thing as the drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card.
    The original ATI drivers are made for office use and not for mobile use. Drivers Toshiba takes supported thermal protection that allows to control the performance of gpu and the dissipation of the heat.
    If you want to use a page ATI driver then your GPU could create more heat as usual which leads to the unexpected shutdown.

    I installed Win 7 on my A210. I didn't install the driver of ATI graphics card because the Win 7 automatically recognizes the graphics chip.
    After installation, I went to the Device Manager. Then, I chose the graphics chip and looked for the driver automatically. Windows has found the right driver and installed this
    Since the unit works perfectly with Win 7

  • Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

    Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

    In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

    model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
    128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

    The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

    Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

    This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

    I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

    In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

    Check this Toshiba document and think about it:
