• Satellite A200-AH1 does not start problem

  I have this Toshiba Satellite A200 - AH1 laptop computer that will not start.

  The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).

  When I remove 1 stick, the system starts without a problem, if I replace it, and the other, the laptop boots also upwards. I tested the two ram slots and ram spent each time.

  The problem of the laptop does not start only seems to happen when the laptop has installed two sticks. I tried even to 2 different new corresponding sticks and still nothing until I remove 1 piece of ram.

  Everyone encountered this problem before?
  Any ideas what the problem may be.

  My only other option would be to install a single piece of 1 GB of ram, but I would really like a better option.

  Thanks in advance...

  > The system has 1 GB of RAM, (2x512MB).
  You got your laptop with these memory modules?
  Are you sure that you are using compatible RAM (DDR2-667)?

• Satellite A200-AH1 - recovery of crisis of phoenix BIOS, before I do that again...

  Hi, new first thread here.

  My problem is with my satellite a200-ah1.
  Here is whats happening.

  One day I decided to turn on my laptop and nothing.
  It has been brought to future shop as soon as the problem has occurred they said the motherboard had to be replaced his $ 200 and work in addition to that... so I bought a new laptop. Now, I want to fix this one, because its pretty new and is portable.

  I took the great technicians who know all aparently don't know how to put the screws on tight and he leaves. Many screws where ovfertightened and broken legs with small nuts on the inside but I managed to crazy glue back the pplastic legs, everything put together and all the screws are tightened again so far.
  I've checked everything and more I tried different ram, no ram, hard drive, hard drive and the list goes to try to refine this component was causing a problem.
  I never had a beep or any sign of signal or to go to the screen when you try different ram and remove it.
  I press the power and I get the blue light the fan turn on half speed for seconds then stop no matter what I've done for her.

  Now, I was ready to try to make a recovery of bios of crisis with a usb floppy drive.
  When I had Fn + b and press the power button I got the purple glow to go, caps lock light went on with two other green light on the keyboard.
  Now, I thought I was getting somewhere, but the hard drive just used light power.

  So I tried with samething and usb flash drive.
  Tried all ports, try holding fn + b key longer, but I just cant get usb to power anything.
  What I do out of warranty, but very able to fix myself but I don't know where the problems here...

  Please help, should probably to started this thread earlier. :)

  It is not easy to offer a precise diagnosis but I think that there is serious hardware problem and you will not be able to fix it with this standard procedure as module/HDD repair or the BIOS memory Exchange.

  A long time ago I had a similar problem on my Satellite M and in my case the CPU was faulty. After Exchange of CPU, I was able to start laptop. So maybe is the same problem on your laptop. Get used but good CPU on eBay, Exchange and try to start your laptop.

  I put t know if you can do this alone but Exchange CPU is a very sensitive job and should be done by someone who knows how to do this.

  Hi michel_91,

  If the drive works properly in Windows, it seems to be related to your startup disk. I put t know which drive you are trying to boot from, but you should try another. Maybe it s scratched or something else in order to test another.

• Satellite A200 - I can boot from PCI express card?

  I have a laptop A200.

  I recently bought a PCI expresscard HD. Many people have asked this question already on many sites and regarding several different brands and models of laptops. According to anadtech and other techys the only way to do an ExpressCard hd is updated the BIOS. During the installation of Windows it says that it canoe on the device because the BIOS is not able to boot from it.

  Toshiba creates a new BIOS to allow starting the expresscard hd or not Toshiba have a laptop model that will allow already, as im thinking of buying a new laptop but only if this option is available.

  There someone using windows vista/xp knows a way round.

  Hello

  As far as I know it s not possible to boot from PCI express card on Satellite A200.
  In addition these books where you can boot from this slot are not known to me. Only the options HDD, CD/DVD, USB and network, but all that s.

  In addition, I put t know what you mean with PCI expresscard HD.
  Is what exactly?

• Satellite A200 does not boot, no lights all based

  I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

  What could be the problem and where should I look?

  The laptop is 17 months old.

  > I have a Satellite A200 series and yesterday it stopped automatically and will be without rebooting, wil does not start... no blue ligts... nothing.

  Do you mean that the laptop has stopped automatically?
  Usually books turns off automatically due to a higher internal temperature
  Maybe this is the reason why laptop computer exploded

  Now, everything may be possible, it may be a RAM, the CPU, the motherboard problem
  It is hard to say what role might malfunction

  I think the laptop technician should check the hardware parts and then you will get a few details on the question

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 is not booting

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer and can't run. The system itself is about a year. I just came in this morning and my laptop was on the second screen when the system is started and now that's going to go.

  When I press on the power button it takes a lot more time then he does usually for the monitor the screen Toshiba (probably about 10 seconds). Then he stay on it for 5 to 10 seconds and then it goes to the next screen where it shows the rights of author and media RXE Roma or other...
  I would really appreciate if someone could provide an overview of this. My computer knowledge is thin so to speak clearly please lol.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Jackson

  Depending on your message, Notepad starts, but the installed operating system does not start
  There may be something with the HARD drive or with the operating system on the disk HARD questions are possible, and that's why I would recommend restoring the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD. You can try to use the Toshiba Recovery CD and could attempt to reinstall the system.

  If this is not possible, the HARD drive is ok and there was just something wrong with the software on the HARD disk.
  But if the new installation of the operating system is not possible, then chances are that your HARD drive is dead and should be replaced.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200-AH1 - power light flashes blue

  Hello

  OK, I got an old laptop is a Toshiba A200-AH1 it is work very well then just... stop the IT Tech wannabe in my hometown, said that it was the external power adapter so we bought a brand new one now all what it flashes... If of course I'm talking about the blue light next to the image of a power cable that left of all the pictograme little CD , battery, HD ect ect ect

  Blink rate is more or less stable at flashing of the fight 2 per second

  Please help me

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the power LED flashes only if an error has been detected on the motherboard.

  I think you should contact the service provider authorized Toshiba to know what is the problem exactly with your laptop.

  I think that the technician of the ASP has more experience with Toshiba laptops as a common wannabe IT technician.

  Good luck

• Satellite 1900-303 Wont Boot up black screen only - help!

  I have a major problem. My Toshiba Satellite 1900, Windows XP Home edition, P4, 2.0 Ghz, 256 MB of RAM (not SP2 updated) won't boot to the top.
  I ran Norton Sys works - speed record to defragment the HD. The screen is blank because the level of power that I it turns off after 10 minutes of no entry.

  My son spent portable (lid) open as he called and thought I forgot to close it as the screen is empty, and of course the laptop is off. When I have opened the screen (cover) still once he did not display and the system has no POST beeps. I tried to not start from a Toshiba Recovery CD - nothing, then a recovery disk - no joy - I then tried to boot from a Windows XP boot CD - once again no joy. A friend gave me a loan of its disk of v6.0 of SPINRITE to start from, as he says that he has its own operating system - once again no joy. Battery adapters and power are all ok, we tested with a multimeter.

  Another note is that I have GOBACK installed v3, but because of the fact that the laptop does not start, I can't retrieve the last good point. I also think that as I was running a defragmentation program when this accident occurred the restore points is erased from the memory.

  At this point, I'm stumped. I got a job on the laptop (Excel files) that I need to access. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

  My last resort after this forum is to go to the clinic of PC World which I never had used in the past. The laptop was purchased in PC World and I never had a problem with it

  Hi Karen,.

  When you turn on your laptop you see the Toshiba splash screen? In addition, what indicators are light up when you turn on? for example, Ac, battery, hard disk, CD-Rom, etc. ?

• Satellite A200 - need help with boot USB

  Hi all,

  I have a starting problem with my Satellite A200.
  I boot from my USB. It is bootable Linux to install the tutorial is as follows:

  Insert the USB key or drive you want to boot from.
  Restart the computer.
  During startup, when prompted, press the appropriate button to display the Options of 'starting' Usually this is F2, F8 or F12 (displayed on the splash screen).
  In the boot menu, select the drive to boot from.

  The computer will now boot from the USB key or the first disc to change the priority of booting back to boot from the hard drive. Perform the procedure again, but to choose the hard disk in step 4 the computer will now start from the first hard drive.

  My share of any move to the right when it restarts with the connected USB still frozen and Toshiba screen but it does not load anything.

  F2 I want to access the BIOS it makes me wait, but nothing happens. I'm nothing like 1 HR wait for selections of F12 boot except that all the boot are marked exceptions for the FDD, one on which I want to start.

  I find myself facing a dead end because Toshiba loads must be connected to anything which is silly because I want to start on my key.

  If anyone has a solution...

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Hello

  Please unplug your USB and start your laptop to see if everything is OK.
  Test with:

  F2 - to enter the BIOS settings
  F8 to display the advanced startup options
  F12 - to access the start menu

  If possible, try to enter the BIOS settings and set it to default settings.

  After that restart your laptop and use F12 to get into the boot menu. When the boot menu appears to put the USB into the USB port, choose USB as a boot device and press ENTER.

  But the first step is to check if you can get into the BIOS and change the default settings.

• Satellite A200 - driver Open Webcam fail

  Hello

  My Satellite A200 recently dead boot disc and I had it replaced. Vista was placed in this framework through restoration SOE from Toshiba. Now the Webcam is not working, it gives the following error when starting the machine:

  "Driver Webcam Fail open. Please restart camera or computer. »

  I tried to install the latest updates of the Chicony driver but still no luck

  also, I found a lot of information through google about problems of registry entry with the installer on this issue. They recommend a rather complicated registry hack to fix it. I want to find an installer that works rather than hack the registry

  can someone advise me? Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Well, if you have already updated the driver for the webcam, I would recommend updated the BIOS too. The latest version is available for download on the Toshiba site. Before you download, compare the model number, if the update supports your laptop!

  If it doesn t work I think there seems to be a hardware malfunction, maybe the webcam cable must be renewed or something else. I think that the best option would be to contact a technician laptop for diagnosis.

• Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

  Model:
  Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

  Question:
  By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
  No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

  I have already (without success) tried:
  -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
  -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
  -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

  The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

  What could be wrong?
  Thank you.

  > By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

  Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
  You can try to check the RAM modules.
  Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m

• How to create the dual boot with Red Hat Linux and Vista on Satellite A200

  Hi all!

  I have a Satellite A200 pre-installed with vista home premium and I would install another OS that is Red Hat Linux Fedora Core 7.
  Can someone advice me how do? I'll be very grateful to receive your answers. Thanks again!

  Well, I put t use this Linux distro on my laptop but I used the Knoppix Live CD and it was very easy.
  It was not necessary to install anything. I simply booted from the Live CD and I could use the full Linux operating system.

  So, it might be better to use this Linux live CD instead of the complete installation.
  I think that the main problem would be available to the driver.
  The fact is that Toshiba does not support Linux on laptops and so Linux drivers are not available.

• Dual boot on Satellite A200 with Vista-XP?

  Computer details: * Satellite A200 PSAE6E... *.
  The laptop came with Vista... I managed to install Windows XP (with new drivers etc...) and it ' s working fine * BUT * after reboot, Acronis OSS does not recognize Vista and the computer starts directly with Win XP only. (I need two BONES...)

  I'm looking for a lot of instructions now of hours * dual boot *, but everyone takes for granted that I have an Installation DVD for Vista... I don't!
  Toshiba came only with the product recovery CD, so all the instructions of MBR and solutions that even Microsoft gives me (E:\boot\bootsect.exe/nt60 all...) it does nothing!

  Is there anyone out there?
  Please... If you can give me no hint at all... it would be just a miracle... Thank you

  Hello

  have you heard of 'Vistaboot'-> http://www.vistabootpro.org/

  A program that allows you to change the bootoptions, so if you want to change the boot settings, then try this program.

  Otherwise, you can also consult the "UBCD4Win" program which is a live cd of windows xp with many tools, you may find something to change the Boot Manager.

  Good luck
