Satellite A200-1DN beeps randomly

Hello
I own a laptop Satellite A200-1DN, 2 months, always looking for new and in good condition.
Yet sometimes the laptop sounds without reason, for example in im on office, intenet etc.anyway what is the problem, my charger is plugged, so this isn't a battery low alarm or something.
It happens around once every 2 days and beeps for 5-10 secs.anyone know the problem?

THX all

Hello John

I'm lucky that something like this does not happen on my A200 but I noticed this odd behavior on my old Satellite M70. From time to time, it beeps and I don't really know why. This looks like a signal of BIOS. Sometimes I hear this a few times in the day and then nothing for days.

I don't really know why this is happening, but I think I'll try to clean my laptop. Maybe it has something to do with the temperature of the material.

    Hello

    Looks like the Satellite A200-1DN would belong to the series of PSAE0E.
    You must choose the XP drivers exactly for the A200 series. That s important!

    AFAIK the notebooks also supports the Realtek RTL8101 Family Fast EthernetLAN chip.

    If you want you can try to install the original XP driver from the site Web of Realtek. It should also run.

  • Satellite A200-1DN - the update of the BIOS for Windows 7

    I am running 32-bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I had battery problems (plugged in, does not support) and I understand that I have to update my BIOS. However I can't find an update of the BIOS for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.

    Can anyone help? I should update with the BIOS in Vista? Are there other options to fix this battery? I already tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before you do, try this:

    Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery. Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
    Reinsert the battery and plug it into the power adapter

    > I tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    also, have you had the same problem before installing Win 7?

  • Don't play age of Empires 3 on the Satellite A200-1DN

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A200-1dn with 1.5 GB of ram and an intel gma 950 / 945gm express chipset family.
    The problem is that the age of empires 3 requires a minimum of 64 MB of video ram. Mine is 32 MB.
    I've heard from the dvmt (dynamic video memory technology) and I was wondering is anyone know how to change it to the max?
    I heard that you can change CMOS, anyone know how to acess cmos? My bios version is 1.30. max dvmt may go up to 224 MB of video ram, that would be great.

    Please answer soon, thx

    Hello

    Generally, a user must read the MANUAL before asking these questions. But while you already here I can tell you how to access:

    Press F2 right after the power of the machine (when you see the toshiba logo) whereas there should be the option you want / need.

    Did you already check if you have the latest version of the bios installed? It would be a good idea to do so:

    Hope you can get more video ram, my friend :)

  • Re: Satellite A200-1DN: do not open Web pages

    For some reason any my A200-1DN notebook Vista ceased to open certain web pages. These tend to be those who like Paypal, ebay etc. When I opened the Caravan Club homepage for example, it opens fine but when I try to log in it just on this page for ages and never opens. I have deleted the history of IE etc. and spin without Add ons. My m/c XP works fine. Any ideas? PS is there a problem with the Toshiba drivers pages. I can't just links to the drivers to open on any pc?

    Thanks Daveymo

    For the moment, I do installation of Vista ultimate on my Satellite A200-CR and download all the drivers. Everything works fine and I have no problems with Toshiba support page.
    Download works as usual - slow but without problems.

  • Satellite A200 freezes / restarts randomly on startup

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200, Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 6.0.6002.
    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz
    Video ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 version = 8.380.0.0
    Audio version of Realtek High Definition Audio = 6.0.1.5406
    Network Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller version = 10.0.4.3
    Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection version = 11.5.0.32

    For the two weeks... my laptop randomly freezes / restarts... especially when it is started for the first time in the day OR after being in standby / hibernation of State for a few hours.
    Sometimes it gets stuck before we get to the login screen... sometimes shortly after... no certain activity seems to be related to this gel. And it's not freezing all the time... sometimes it restarts too. No blue screen.

    No new software installed, except regular updates of windows. No conflict in the device driver. I checked the website of toshiba for the latest drivers. BIOS had a newer version... So I installed which (2.5). But the problem has not disappeared.

    When the computer reboots, it works fine... I'm not able to find something to worry about in the event viewer. Start logging also came not to the top with a few errors. I also disabled the option restart automatically.

    Windows partition was low on space... only 6 GB left of allotted 40 GB... so I thought to backup and install from scratch... do that... all the updates that are installed during the next days... but my laptop is back to the same State. One thing I notice, is that now it takes longer after starting (and then restart) to connect to the wireless router. But this isn't a problem.

    Microsoft Fix It didn't help either... am looking for help to identify the cause and resolve it.

    Is there a conflict somewhere which surfaces while system is booting high / shortly after startup?

    Thank you in advance.

    > How we can say is that there is nothing wrong with the equipment? What else can a check?
    The new installation of the operating system has not helped. Right?
    So for me it looks like hardware related issue.
    I think the disk HARD or RAM (memory)

    The HARD drive can be easily verified. Download the drive diagnostic tool called HARD: Drive Fitness Test
    It s freeware tool and it allows you to scan the HARD drive and get details on possible malfunction.

    The diagnosis of RAM can be done easily. Of course, there are tools like memtest86 + and similar, but in my experience the results of the analysis are not always 100% right
    So, in that these cases it s always a good idea to test the laptop using new tested s RAM

  • Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) resets randomly

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) randomly resetting itself. It does not matter what job I do, or how long I let the laptop, it will be just black screen on me and reboot. Sometimes he'll do Mid-when the form starts, other times I can use it for a while before he'll do. It seems to be a problem which intensified during some time, occurring initially quite rarely, which is now so frequently that it makes the phone unusable.

    This issue seems to happen mostly when running off the AC power. When you use the battery I have minimal problems, until the battery runs out. Although stability is much higher when you use the battery, I can't confirm that AC is actually the cause of the problem, because it is a random problem and I will sometimes use alternating current for a long time without error.

    I can say that the problem is not caused by overheating or drivers/software/OS. The laptop has been maintained to be free of all dust blocking the radiator as well as for a new application of thermal grease for NB and CPU chips. Everything is running at the level of the standard factory.
    I tried Linux, XP, Vista, Win7 and can tell it seems to be a problem specific to an operating system or driver (he got the problem when no OS has been loaded yet).

    If anyone has had similar problems or knows what could be my problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Zedski

    Hello!

    Did you try it with the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows that you can restore it with the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains all of the drivers and tools and with these settings, everything should work fine.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite A200 - sound beep after startup

    Hello world

    Recently my laptop has started to be malfuntioning.
    Yesterday, after the start (or when you take it out of fashion 'sleep'), it started beeping.

    Beep, it's 10 minutes in a row, fast.

    I run a stock standard Satellite A200 Windows Vista Help.
    I don't know what to do, and over the ringtone (which lasts about 10-15 minutes) I can't do anything - the CPU (I think) simply cannot handle all of the processes. The ringtone comes from the right side of the laptop and is fake, but certainly a sign of a problem.

    I believe it has something to do with the motherboard, but I don't know how to diagnose this problem, and after hours of research I have not found someone with a similar problem to mine.

    I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, also the advice to confused and I just can't find a support technique one.

    Help, please

    Hello

    If I understand your problem, it seems that you are not able to enter the BIOS and you are not able to boot the operating system Window.
    You don't see that the home screen Toshiba so is good?

    Hmm, it seems that this sound signal is related to a hardware malfunction
    Then maybe the POST (power on self-test) cannot be spent properly and so you get this alert beep

    What to say; in most cases it mother s associated with, but it is difficult to say which could be exactly wrong

    Maybe you can try this;
    Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a few hours
    Wait and after a while connect the two parts again
    Then try again to turn the unit

    If this does not work, then I would recommend asking a technician help in ASP.

  • Satellite A200-1O5 - beep at startup

    Hello

    My satellite makes sometimes a few loud beeps when starting the Bios for about half a minute.
    After that, it starts to boot the OS (Vista) without any problem.
    But something must be wrong (because of the beeps).

    What could this be?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    If a stuck keyboard key it can cause these beep codes you have spilled something on the keyboard in the past?

    Everything works correctly if Windows has started, or do you have other problems too?

    As already written Akuma I recommend you contact a service provider authorized too. Guys can check your laptop because it is difficult to say what part is affected without exact diagnosis and it is possible that professional people. You can find a list of all FSA here:

  • Satellite A200 (PSAE3E) - stops randomly

    Hi all!

    I got an A200 PSAE3E in my possession which stops randomly. He really died the hard way. I have excluded a software problem, because even this wenn waiting for PXE, so no start-up of the drive HARD or another device...

    The only idea I have left is to Flash the BIOS to get it to work again properly as I thought it might have something to do with faulty breaks? Or anything that leaves the BIOS to be originally...
    When he is not the BIOS, then the motherboard itself must be faulty which leaves me only one option: throw this piece :-D

    * Up to now, the real question: how Flash BIOS without using an operating system like Windows? Is it a kind of combination of button I can press start so he can a BIOS file from a USB flash? *

    Help would be very appreciated.

    Hi medis,.

    Without an operating system it s not possible to update the BIOS. All updates of BIOS provided on the official website of Toshiba are windows, depending on whether you need an operating system running up-to-date BIOS.

    To be honest I have don t think that the BIOS is the reason for this

    The laptop is overheating or hardware malfunction s motherboard or the CPU

    If it s just an overheating issue you can solve the problem yourself by cleaning radiator with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.
    If it doesn t help you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys have professional tools to make an accurate diagnosis of your laptop, so they can tell you what to do in this case.

  • Satellite A200-1QK stops randomly

    Hello.

    Well, lately, my computer randomly stops after a while. For some reason, I can't activate it for 1 or 2 minutes when what is happening. I wonder, is this a battery problem? Or y at - it something worse than that?

    Thanks in advance.

    I put t think its a battery problem!
    For me, it looks like an overheating problem.

    If the temperature rises to the critical level the laptop stops automatically to avoid overheating of the material!
    You will have to wait until the temperature goes down and after about 5-10 minutes you could restart the laptop.

    I think the laptop overheats because cooling cool don t properly hardware modules. Because of the dust and debris inside the laptop don't twist not fans with maximum performance and this leads to a higher temperature.

    In my opinion, you should try to clean the fans using a jet of compressed air!
    Most computer dealers offer these professional tools.

    Best regards

  • Screen turns black during a short period of time and after 5 seconds on the Satellite A200-1DN

    Have you tried to play a game designed to run under Vista OS or you have noticed that play WXP games on your laptop preinstalled Vista. If possible, try to get the Vista game and test it again.
