• Extension memory for Satellite A200-23W

  Wonder if I can upgrade memory (now 2 x 2 GB at 667) with two others at 800 mhz...

  Hello

  You can upgrade the RAM with 800 MHz modules, but as much as I know this will not improve the speed and the RAM will run at 667 MHz.
  The reason is that the chipset doesn't support 800 MHz.

  Satellite A200-23W supports up to 4 GB, so any update is not necessary.

• Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

  Hello all :)

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
  I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

  After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
  After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
  After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

  Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
  Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
  Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

  I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
  I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

  Any ideas of what past?
  Thank you very much

  I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

  The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

• Satellite A200 23W: XP-> Bluetooth question and mass storage controller

  Hello

  I have a satellite A200-23W and just installed Windows XP SP2 and the problem is:

  1. that i can't see the anyware bluetooth (I istalled the monitor bluetooth from the web site of the Union European toshiba)

  2. also, in Device Manager, I see that the mass storage controller needs new drivers but I can't find?

  Thank you

  Alex

  Hello

  With regard to the point;

  (1) the laptop supports BT certainly then have you installed Bluetooth driver too?
  BT monitor is a utility to control BT, but to use the BT, you need the BT stack!

  (2) this unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory.
  This material is only supported by Windows Vista.
  There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  See you soon

• Upgrade memory 4 GB on Satellite A200-23W

  Hello
  I asked Toshiba service here in Greece upgrade memory than my A200 23W and they buy a 2 GB memory module (I noticed that there was no need for 2 because there was that one module in this topic but anyway...).

  I did and installed the new memory, but since than, in the information system, I can only see this:

  Name of the Microsoft® Windows Vista Home Premium operating system
  Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
  Another Description of the OS is not available
  Manufacturer of operating system Microsoft Corporation
  Name of COMSPI08-PC system
  The TOSHIBA system manufacturer
  Satellite A200 system model
  System Type X 86-based PC
  Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo processor T7500 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 2 Lossnay, 2 logical processors
  BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V2.40, 15/05/2008
  SMBIOS Version 2.4
  Windows directory C:\Windows
  System directory C:\Windows\system32
  Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2
  Locale Greece
  Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000".
  User name-
  GTB time zone
  Physical memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
  3.00 GB total physical memory
  2.01 GB available physical memory
  6.19 GB total virtual memory
  5.12 GB available virtual memory
  Page file space 3.29 GB

  So my question is WHY AVAILABLE PHYSICAL MEMORY IS STILL 2.01 GB? When I installed 4 GB and the system can see that only in theory.

  There is nothing wrong with your system. As you have already posted, windows displays your total amount of 4 GB of physical memory and the total physical memory to 3 GB.
  The part with the available memory is a thing of windows and displays how much memory is left for other programs, because windows needs some of them your own sound.

  So, if you want to use all of your 4 GB you will need to use a 64 bit version of Vista, because 32-bit versions are limited to a maximum size of 3, 29GB as already indicated your page file space.

  Hope this cleared some things now.

• Satellite A200-23W: problem installing Windows Vista

  Hello..

  I now that this topic is discussed several times before, but after trying many solutions of the forum and some of my only, I reached a level that it makes no sense...

  First off I would like to explain what I do for a living, it has to do with IT and that is what makes it even more tempting for me.

  2 days ago a friend bought a Toshiba A200-23W. The first thing I always do when I buy a new laptop is to format it and install a clean Windows operating system.
  After my first attempt, I realized that I have to install first the matrix storage driver.

  I downloaded the driver from toshiba place related to my model. (Intel Matrix Storage Manager - 7.5.0.1017).
  I created a usb key with the required driver files:

  iaAhci.inf,
  iaAhci.cat,
  iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
  iaStor.sys, and
  TxtSetup.oem

  in the folder (F6flpy) of the (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) you can copy them to the root of the USB stick.
  When the form "Where you want to install windows" windows Vista appear I select load the driver, and then by clicking (Browse), I select the USB drive as source for my drivers.
  The (Intel(r) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller) will automatically appear as a choice and by clicking on the (Next) the process of the pilot installation begins.
  So far so good..

  Here's where things get complicated...
  When Vista back to the form "Where you want to install windows", even my system has 2 x 200 GG HDD only 200 GB HARD drive appears in the list...

  Selections of 'New' Partition, or a Partition of 'Delete' are disabled.
  and even when I click 'Next' for selected HD a windows message:

  "Windows has no determine if this computer contains a valid system volume."

  I'd appreciate your help...

  Thank you in advance...
  George P.

  Hello

  You cannot format the HARD disk or delete the partition because this would remove the SATA driver too, and the HARD drive would not be recognized by Vista!

  Therefore, you need to install the OS on the HARD drive that is displayed in the installation program.

• Satellite A200 23W - no connection with the TV (VGA-DVI-tv)

  I tried to connect my SatelliteA200-23W with tv (DVI plug). Like cable, I had was dvi to dvi and my laptop has vga only (female) I got an adapter (VGA/DVI). After that I made the connection (my TV is also a Toshiba LCD 30 inch) and I used Fn + F5, with the channel setting DVI TV, I can't see or hear anything whatsoever!

  Any who tried to link its A Satellite with tv?
  Must say that I use Windows 7 edition.

  Hello

  To use the monitor external, you must plug the cable first. Then turn on the TV and choose the right channel on your TV. Next turn on the laptop and then you should be able to switch between monitors if you press FN + F5. Check it!

  Also, make sure that you use a high quality cable.
  You can use a cable without adapter?

• Satellite A200-23W - is it a new BIOS update?

  My bios version is v2.60 day 28/08/2008.
  I think that this must be an old man.

  As I can't find anything for A200 (toshiba takes in charge only A300 and then..) is there a new version?
  I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.

  Thank you

  > I use Win 7 64 bit and I have no serious problem right now.
  So why do you need to update the BIOS?
  I would update the BIOS ONLY if my laptop wouldn't not stable or would develop some problems

  In addition the A200 is an old series of notebook and the drivers and other updates are in the region of Archive on the European driver Toshiba page
  For this list, you can choose to Archive in the first option (in the form of driver download) called product Type

• How to install XP on HDD2 and keep Vista on HDD1 in Satellite A200-23W?

  Hello

  I have 2 hard drives in laptop (as master and slave) and that you would like to install XP and keep the Vista installed initially.

  Vista is on the master and tried to install XP to the slave, while the captain has been disabled.
  The slave was the first and the second CD-ROM.
  But after a few minutes, he said 'No. HDD are connected'.

  Please help me solve this problem!

  I'm not a pro user, but hope will include your help.

  Thanks in advance and Best looks.
  Azuve.

  I think that you need a SATA driver.

  The SATA driver is needed because new series of laptops are equipped with controller SATA HDD.
  Win XP does not have the SATA driver and install it using the external disk or you could include the SATA driver with nLite software.
  This software will help you create a new XP CD the included SATA driver.

  By the way; The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manger.
  To verify Intel page for the necessary drivers.

  It is a very interesting question. I didn't find relevant info on the WEIRD Blu - ray compatibility for Toshiba laptops. Qosmio check category.
  Several months ago, I saw a thread about it and one user has successfully upgraded its Qosmio with Blu - ray player. Perhaps is the same player that is compatible with your laptop.

• Satellite A200-23: noise Anoyed when the speakers are not set to mute - Win7 64 bit

  When I leave the table of sound mixing (_without mute audio on microphone_) there is a noise very disturbing speakers.

  Windows 7-64 bit, that's what I installed in a Toshiba satellite A200 23W and I don't have any other problem except micro that it does not work on SKYPE.

  Sound alone, works very well, as soon as I hear anything * when I muted microphone *!

  Is this all I can do?

  It is not easy to give you an answer. I don't have that kind of problems on my Satellite phone and Skype works perfectly (audio/video).
  Have you tried to play a bit with the sound and the Skype settings?

  You hear the sound in Skype only or how to understand this?
  When you use the headset is this annoying noise still there?

• Satellite A200 - interfacing with Sky HD box, via the i.Link on my laptop.

  Satellite A200-1VP

  I'm trying to find away to check my laptop DVD, my disk drive hard SKY HD boxes, so I can copy the recorded programs from the HDD to DVD discs from the sky.

  But don't have a HDMI interface port, only the AVI & output VGA, which does not have a digital input, only the other signal output as we understand it.

  So I thought to using the port i.Link (IEEE 1394-a), as it was designed to send DVD date camcorder to the laptop to be registered? wouldn't the camcorder DVD send a digital signal, and if this is the case, shouldn't it work this way? Is there a device or cable on the market that I could use to make the possible interface to do this?

  I have watched cable, through the Internet but can't seem to find a HDMI / i.Link (IEEE 1394-a) lacking USB i.Link (IEEE 1394-a), but seem to be under the impression that the USB 2 is unable to deliver the date at a fast enough speed to make it work...

  Any ideas would help thanks.

  Why don't you talk with your local dealer and experts for this?
  If you do not have matching port on your laptop, you need another external solution.
