• Satellite A200 - 1 GB: Questions on downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I want to downgrade to XP, but I have a few questions.

  + I install XP using nlite. +

  1. I have 2 partitions and I would like to know if my other partition (not the one with the operating system) will be also well formatted?

  2. I have Vista Bios. Should I change it to XP? And if so when do I need to do.

  Thank you!!!

  Hello

  The original CD of Microsoft Windows XP provides an option to modify, create or delete partitions on the HARD disk.
  If during the XP installation procedure, you should be able to install XP on a single partition. Other partitions will not be formatted!

  With regard to the BIOS:
  You could update the BIOS after installing XP.
  The laptop must run also without the update of the BIOS.

  But from my knowledge the FN keys would work using the operating system XP and Vista BIOS. So if you need to use all the features of the laptop, the BIOS update would be desirable.

  See you soon

• Satellite A200-1cr - two questions about the AC adapter / CC

  Hello guys,.

  I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1cr and suddenly one morning, I can not charge my battery...

  I tried with another adapter that I bought for another laptop a few years ago and it worked perfectly...

  I have change the power supply cable before the adapter, that we... http://www.digitalkind.co.uk/INU_Products/INU_ProdDetailsL8.ASP?ref=57306972
  and nothing has changed, I realized that I need a new ac adapt power...

  It's for my laptop... http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PA3290E-3AC3/AC%2520Adapter%2520120W.htm

  But now I have two important questions...

  1. since I tried, the power adapter works fine, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same features...

  2. is the replacement of the power supply covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  Thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

  > 1. As I've tried, the power adapter works well, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same characteristics

  If the AC adapter doesn't supports exactly the same specifications as the original Toshiba AC adapter so I wouldn't recommend using it! This could damage the motherboard! So if you want to use it you must make sure that the ampere, Volt and Watt values are the same!

  > 2. The replacement of the power supply is covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  The AC adapter belongs to the laptop and it s covered by the warranty also.
  So if you warranty is still valid, don t waste time and contact the ASP in your country!
  Explain what s bad guys and I m sure will be able to help. The adapter must be replaced if it s defective!

  In this case, I would not recommend using 3rd party adapters if you will get a new ASP.

• Satellite A200-1GH. Questions about the replacement of HARD drive

  Someone made about?

  What I'll do with the hidden partition of Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  Is it possible to ignore it?

  Any suggestions?

  > What should I do with a hidden partition in Windows Vista that is used for the start?
  The hidden partition is needed for the repair of the system!
  If something goes wrong with the system, Vista would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.
  The Vista operating system creates this partition automatically during the installation of the OS!

  After you change the HARD drive, just start using the Toshiba and Vista recovery disk should create the partitions and must run the installer automatically

• Satellite A200-1NB: Question about downgrade from Vista to XP

  I bought a 1NB A200 and I intend to downgrade from Vista to XP.
  I would like to create a CD of tools and utilities, but do I need to do before the low grade or can I do after?

  Also, I have to change the BIOS for XP before you install on the system or install XP first and then modify the BIOS for XP after installation?

  Thanks for your help.

  *@Brown*

  Hello

  If possible, try to update the BIOS first, and then reinstall the operating system.

  I think you also need download all drivers Toshiba XP before installing XP on this OS. Without the LAN or WLan you will not be able to connect to internet ;)

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - 28 p - question when it starts

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 p in October, it's a great laptop, but I always had a problem when it starts.

  Occasionally, and I mean at random without cause, when I turn it on the lights of disk hard flash but it beeps twice and nothing happens.
  I have to turn it off and try again, I found the best way to solve the problem is open and close the lid a couple of times and then try and start the machine. I took it to PC world where I bought it and they were a less useless place, the first time the ' + technician + ' said that he had set and it was losing RAM, when I asked if he had reproduced in fact he he looks some what confused.

  I took his word, even thought that I had done my own research that pointed to a problem of graphic\screen and took it home. Of course the problem reproduced immediately in a day or two, the second time I took it back they suggested because its so casual, that it is and I find no reproducible model, that it would not be worth sending away.

  Can anyone shed light on what could be the cause of this? It doesn't seem to affect the machine somehow when his works actually, checked all the Windows event logs and nothing so its occurring long before that.

  The second question is much easy one of my CTRL keys has broken the key is fine, is there anywhere I can get a replacement Cap? Please do not say PC World!

  Thank you
  Jon

  Hello

  I put t know why it happened, but to me this looks like a motherboard or RAM problem but I don't know m.
  The RAM, you can check with Memtest86. It s a special diagnostic for the RAM and the freeware tool. Use Google to find out.

  In addition if Memtest86 can t find a problem your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop. They can determine what the problem is and they also have experience in laptop disassembly.
  And a new keyboard, you can also get to an authorized service provider.

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

• Satellite 3000 - X 4: Question about RAM upgrade

  Hi all

  I'm looking for more information on how to upgrade the RAM for my SATELLITE S3000 - X 4 (120 MB RAM, 14 GB HD I think!). Here's a little history...

  This laptop is about 5 years old, and I'm hoping to speed up a bit. I don't want to buy a new computer because she usually serves my needs.

  I emptied my hard drive files and unwanted programs. And I ran Jv16 Power Tools to clean the registry and minimize starts the process.

  It's always a little slow and if I am considering upgrading the RAM because I think I can do this for about £50. My questions are:

  What type of upgrade RAM should I look to buy? (This laptop have 2 RAM "plug-ins" or just one?)
  What is the size of RAM upgrade is the maximum an S3000 - X 4 could face?
  Could a novice like me to adapt to the style DIY upgrade?

  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  Hi Gabrielle

  He is old enough. I looked for some info, but unfortunately I n t have not found much. The device can use the 512 MB of RAM, and you can use 2 sticks of memory. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can use the module with tracking number PA3086U - 1. 25 M.

  The unit is not known to me but please check the underside. On most units, you can find coverage of memory.

• Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

  Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

  Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

  see you soon-

  The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

  In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.

  Hello

  I can't give you details on the microphone of the satellite Pro S300 tension because I didn t find all the details about the tension of mic jack, but I guess that it s a voltage standard as on others, laptops different.

  As far as I know the external portable media microphone who need 1, 5V DC.
  So I guess that the S300 this support too.

  That's all I can say about it.

  Aykut

  Hi aykut76,

  Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?
  Can you put the vendor and exact device ID? It would be useful to identify the exact device. But according to your assignment, it has something to do with the package of added value or HDD/SSD alert maybe

  Your printer, you need to contact the manufacture of the printer. This has nothing to do with Toshiba. Probably you have need new drivers or something else

• Satellite L30: A few questions about the change from Vista to Win XP

  My satellite L30 has Vista Home Basic preinstalled, but I decided that Vista is still a little slow & buggy and would like to change to WinXP Pro. I have 2 questions-

  1. a change to XP will extend the battery performance? (currently 1 h with no wifi I think it's pretty poor)

  2. I intend to reformat the hard drive for all the hidden partitions will be lost. If I decide to go back to Vista, at a later date I will be able to reinstall using the "upgrade" dvd that came with my computer? I think I'm wrong in saying that this dvd contains a full version of Vista, but I wonder if my serial number still working?

  Thank you

  Hello

  If you bought the L30 with Vista operating system preinstalled, then I presume that you have received also the Toshiba Vista recovery CD.
  The Vista on the recovery CD is already enabled and you don't need to enter keys t.

  Regarding your battery question: well as you know the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. Performance heavy on the laptop running decreases the life of the battery. It is a fact.

  But you assume the Vista needs of more resources for laptop as the XP and the Vista operating system wastes more energy than other operating systems.
  I think if you install XP on the laptop, you should be able to work with the battery a little longer as with Vista.
