Satellite A200-1VP - Wireless problem

Hello

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.
Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless card.
2 GB of ram.
Intel core 2 duo t5250 - 1.5 ghz
160 GB

Recently, the wireless on my laptop has stopped working, I think that this is due to the switch wlan on the bottom of the laptop. Before it used to work perfectly. But a few days ago I started the laptop and the wireless did not work. I took a glance on the switch and it seemed to be extinguished (no orange), even if it was to position it. It was weird. It does not pick up wireless networks, but there are loads because I checked on my brothers laptop computer.

That's what I tried.
first thing I did was to switch to stop, then press it. No chance!
Then I left in the off position and restart the laptop. Then he walks. No chance! still no light.
Then I checked the Device Manager, everything seemed fine. He says that the wireless card worked properly.

Another thing to note is that the device has not been disabled, I tried fn + f8, but has not made a difference.

It's the 1 year warranty ended last month.

Any help on that would be great.

Good news buddy. ;)

  • Satellite A200-1VP - Trackpad and the control volume

    Hello

    for the first time posting here so apologies in advance if I posted this topic in the wrong place or have not included all relevant information.

    My question is about a Satellite A200-1VP I bought recently from a friend. Model number PSAE6E-08D02YEN. The laptop has been completely annihilated and installed Windows 7 Ultimate before being redeemed.

    This seems to have brought the track pad and volume control to stop working.
    Are there drivers available that I could try to help to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I checked on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp Toshiba download page, and as I can see it, your machine is fully supported for Win7 32 bit, so you need to do is install all available drivers, tools and utilities.

    What version of operating system are you using (32 or 64 bit)?
    You have installed all the drivers?

  • Satellite A200-1VP: Installation of recovery could not be performed

    Satellite A200-1VP
    Can someone help me please?
    I used the Toshiba recovery disc yesterday and ended up with a much worse that I started with!
    The process has worked for about 15 minutes and then I received a message that installation could not be completed because of damaged files.

    Great - I tried to start the process again, but it all comes with the same message immediately.
    I then installed Windows7 while I have an operating system & that seems to work OK but, of course, I've lost all drivers that came with the laptop.

    Given the number of messages concerning problems with the recovery of the system, I am really surprised and disappointed that a company whose reputation of Toshiba seems unable to provide its customers a reliable method of recovery.

    Anyone know if there is way I can reinstall the drivers needed please?

    I'm not a very experienced user and I'm certainly not as young as I was so, if you are able to help, can you please explain it very simply!

    you for any help you can give me.

    Hi mate

    First of all it s really a shame that you cannot complete the installation of recovery.
    I got my two laptops Toshiba different and every time the recover ran properly and could be finished so it's certainly ok with the restore process and possibly damaged files were responsible for your problem

    However, I also installed a fee of Win 7 on my laptop A210 and in most cases the Win 7 automatically recognizes all the devices and I n t need to install all the drivers.

    But I installed VAP (value added package) and utility support of flash memory card that I could download on page European driver Toshiba. But chose the L500 series because I couldn't find the VAP and support flash Cards for A210 utility. However, it worked.

    Oh I forgot to say that I had to install the battery Bluetooth that I found it here:

  • Satellite A200-1VP - new WiFi card does not work

    Hi all

    I just bought an intel 4965agn wireless card to replace the original card intel 3945abg. I bought the card on ebay, it's a computer dell laptop.

    I installed it (connecting the black wire on pin 2 and the white wire to Terminal 3). The device appears in the device manage correctly without any problem. I installed the latest driver from intel for this card.

    the problem is that no wireless connection cannot be captured. the utility intel built in diagnosis, the card seems to fail the test of material. The section troubleshooting said to check the Device Manager and install the appropriate drivers. I've done it before, so I'm not sure of the problem.

    any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi ansarali,

    Why you traded a new WLAN draft N card if you can t use it? I want to say that your laptop was only equipped Intel abg card and for standard project you also need 3 antennas and as much as I know Satellite A200 are not equipped with 3 antennas

    In addition, the antenna cables must be connected correctly. This means that you must connect the white cable to the HAND and the black cable to the auxiliary voltage

  • Satellite A200-12V driver problem

    I bought a Satellite A200-12V during the Christmas sales and decided to downgrade the OS from Vista to XP SP2.
    I went during the major part of the allocation of this forum and installed XP on the machine. (after wake the mobile ICH8 driver and the bus driver from realtek on xp drive).
    I also install the driver for the graphics chip, the driver LAN and wireless trouble-free device driver at all. (Also Windows update as well).

    The only problem I am facing is whenever I try to install the chipset driver or other drivers as mass storage device drivers (I think that's going to be the TI card reader driver), touchpad, key software are supported on Fn and the Chicony Camera Assistant Software from the Toshiba driver, I always had a blue screen of death just after the restart. Even if I had a created restore point before the installation of the driver, the machine jumps to the blue screen just after the restoration of the system.

    I have flashed the BIOS to the version for XP... and I have no idea on what to do next if it executes correctly.

    I hope that someone in this forum can make me light in solving this mystery. It's a real pain after you have reinstalled XP on the same HDD during more than 20 times of testing and errors. ; p

    Hello

    For me there is no sense to install any driver if you have had no success with chipset installation. Driver chipset is the basis for other stuff for me. I installed Windows XP SP2 Pro family edition several times on different A200 and P200 successfully. The BIOS is the version of Windows XP Home edition and it is very good. Please use the Windows XP SP2 home edition installation. After the fresh install of WXP follow the instructions facilities document (if available) and please follow this order of the facilities. It is very important.

    Moreover, the number of PAxxxx who has your laptop?

  • Power on second hand Satellite A200-1d(a) problem

    I've had my Toshiba Satellite A200 for awhile now and it was second hand when I got it.
    The AC light flashes constantly and the laptop is free of charge, is it possible to fix this?

    I can't turn on the computer, because there no charge in the battery in any case help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Power light flashes is probably a sign that he has a serious problem with electronic control gear.
    Unfortunately, these issues cannot be resolved by the owners of the laptop.

    You should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite A200-1vp with Vista - code 39 of the CD/DVD drive failure

    Hello

    I was burning and watch DVDs on my Satellite A200 - 1 VP, with vista, since February, the last time I burned anything was a couple of weeks.

    Suddenly, there is a problem, no response when I insert a disc and my divx player says me no recorder found.

    When I am looking in the Device Manager I get the message 'windows cannot load the driver for this hardware' (code 39) "driver is damaged or missing.

    I tried to uninstall it and using the limit filter upper/lower of Toshiba, repair tool but on restart it still cannot install.

    Should I try the Toshiba Recovery Disc and lose a lot of that programs/files, as a last resort?
    Would this work?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Here's an interesting article from Microsoft Knowledge:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/270008/en-us

    You must first access the Device Manager and should remove the reader of CD/DVD from the list of devices.
    Then should access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Reboot the laptop and check if the CD/DVD drive would work again!

  • Satellite A200 and Win7 - problem loading the graphics driver

    Hi guys I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A).
    I installed windows 7 just now, now half the time when I start the computer it displays a message on windows encounters a problem loading the graphics drivers and the resolution is terrible. When I restart immediately, most of the time, it loads fine - no message and a good resolution. I tried many driver reinstall but it is always the case.
    Someone knows what's the problem? Is this with windows 7, or do you think the graphics card can be on the road to extinction?

    Thanks for your help, a lot.
    -Chris

    Hello

    It was ok before installing windows 7? I don't think it's a hardware problem. Have you installed the driver for the Toshiba driver page?

  • Satellite A200 - recovery disk problems

    I just bought the (all new store big tech) Satellite A200 for a few months and not used because I was on business trip to take. This weekend, I opened it up and running for a while.

    After that I read the manual and found that I need to create a recovery from the tools provided disk. However, the problem start here:

    1. when I click on "Recovery Disc Creator", a message is display "no HDD Recovery area!, the toshiba Recovery Disc creator cannot be launched."

    2 then I call center service support and to inform that there is a problem with the "recovery disk creator" and I have to retrieve the laptop using the hard drive partition recovery (waiting when 0 turning on the system) and the next step is complete:
    a. the laptop's boot in the recovery screen function.
    b. when I try to "restore windows PC" (option 3), it is display and error message on file not found.
    c. when I try to click on "restoring the recovery disk" (option 5), it asks me to put in the recovery disk which I do not have?

    NOTE: I'm sure that the hidden recovery partition is therre. 1.46 GB. There is no way that I can access the hidden partition from a normal windows vista screen (without drive letter).

    Then, I called the support center again (now what difference person support) and to inform you that:

    1. my recovery partition is corrupted and I need to get the recovery disk again (which I did not), it's going to cost me AUD $66 (I got from HP one and cost me AUD $15 and will be free if I come and Pick-up) for administrative costs. And it is a procedure.

    2. I explain to the support staff that it is brand new in the box laptop and I consider it as defective on arrival (DOA or FOA.

    3. I also ask what causes the problem and has been a consultant with the following reason:
    a. I may have deleted the partition accident (impossible because I still can start on the recovery partition, but can not recovery which all).
    b. There may be a virus infect in my laptop which was remove my recovery file in the hidden partition (ridiculous, you can delete some files in the drive on which you cannot yet access).
    c. I should create a recovery disc when the first time LAPTOP computer service. Which it is recommended, I get a question that if I do not, or I forgot to do so, this means that the software will automatically delete the system restore image file? I have no answer for that.

    State (when I try to post this messgae), I'm still waiting for the staffs of complaint call fomr back (very tie when you talk in support of service these days).

    NOTE 2: I would like to raise these issues, not because I want something (I do both IT support) complaints but I just want to solve the problem:

    1. is there some sort (software) allow me to access the hidden drive in and out of recovery disc image, my laptop still have the partition.

    2. is there a link I can download image recovery (in iso format) disc again? I've known it is not a question of wise, but when I ask the support staff that can re - install windows vista with the license key from the bottom of the laptop and has advised that it is not work or turn on.

    3. is there someone out there has similar problem

    Hi Thomas

    I have a European model A200 (don t know what you model is) and the A200 was NOT equipped with the option of HARD drive recovery! This means that you cannot create your own recovery disk!
    My laptop came with the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs!

    Still is it that your 1.46 GB hidden partition is not the Toshiba recovery partition but Vista hidden partition. It contains the WinRE files that are useful for repairing the operating system if something will go wrong!

    Second, the Toshiba Recovery folder is too big for the partition of 1.46 GB!
    So it is not possible that it would be placed on this s partition!

    So finally, it seems that you will not be able to create the own recovery disk and therefore, you have to order it from the ASP in your country.

  • On the Satellite A200-1BJ wireless LAN

    Hello

    I need your kind help in this issue, think I'm dealing with my laptop. The driver disappeared and I can't. I tried to download from toshiba support, but it did not work also.

    OS: Vista home
    Model: Satellite A200-1BJ

    Also, whenever I try to use my modem it does not work and I get the message 'no dial tone' although the phone line works.

    pls advise me on these issues

    THX
    Khalid

    Hello

    what driver you downloaded? For Intel or Atheros? It would be really interesting because if you have installed the wrong driver, it s possible that it doesn´t work. So if you try the two pilots, one of them SHOULD work.

    With regard to your Modem:

    Go to control panel and then open the phone and Modem Options, and then choose the "Modems" tab, choose the modem you´re to help. Then, a window should appear where you must choose the tab "Modem". There is a "Control dial" setting where you must uncheck the box "in waiting for the dial tone before dialing."

    After that, the modem should work.

  • Flashcards and Fn - Satellite A200 psae6e key problem

    Hi all.

    I read a lot of posts with this problem.
    I noticed some people fix with value Canadian extra package, but is not a Canadian package extra for my model.
    I have a200-psae6e. But I download Canadian version, it is not for my model, I installed it but it does not work. Flashing cards do not appear.

    Then I installed the extra package for my model and it works fine, but does not work Fn + Fx! I have
    the value cards turn signals don't start up with Windows and now I can use Fn + Fx but only for keys ESC, F1, F3, F6, F7 and F11, other do not work!

    Can someone tell me how to force the other keys work?
    I didn't need flashing cards if I have good, that also I don't have turn signals with Fn + Fx cards keys don't work all the keys.

    Is there a solution?

    Same problem with my computer, but even worse because when I push button FN of my computer crashes. Nobody seems to know the solution. If you can, uninstall all versions of VAP, you have and try to reinstall one with advanced options, common Module is checked and pray. I think that some components of vista update is related to the normal working FN.
