  Hello

  It looks like a malfunction of the battery. What do you think?

  If the battery issue also appears on the second laptop using the same battery then I would try a new battery.

  It could really be a malfunction of the battery
  It s worth a try

• Satellite A200 battery run time

  G ' Day, I have an A200 series PC laptop which is about 2 to 2.5 years, since the original battery died. I bought a new battery - one more (in other words, he had to last longer than the original). The new battery is not completely charged after charging for 6 hours, while the machine stops and only lasts 2 to 2.5 hours on battery. The power settings are balance and I especially don't work only with the word doc and sometimes the media player in the background.
  The original battery (small capacity) used to last 2-3 hours on these parameters.
  The manufacturer said tht, it may be a driver issue any.

  If anyone has had a similar dilemma, and there, anyone know how I could fix this problem apart from return to the manufacturer of the battery?

  Concerning
  Rgtom

  2.5 hour battery run time on the Satellite A200 is OK for me and it's the same as on my Satellite A300.
  I think 2.5 hours DURATION is just average for this model of laptop.

  Can you please tell us exactly what battery you bought?
  Can you send us exact Toshiba part number?

• Satellite A200 - battery and a fan failure

  My Satellite A200 is a little more than a year and has not stopped the charge battery.

  While watching over portable saw fan does not no more, although no effect on performance when it is connected to the House.

  Two probs are fan cannot be hardware failure?

  And is it connected to the failure of batt?

  For me, it is not easy to say that the two issues are related somehow. You can check the functionality of fan if the laptop works on AC power only. Remove the battery and check it out.

  Also try changing the profile of power and method to see if it has any influence on the cooling fan feature.
  What about the battery? If the battery has stopped loading it may be due to the battery itself or perhaps electronic power supply on the motherboard, but if you want to have an exact answer to this the laptop must be controlled by authorized service provider?

  The warranty is still valid?

• Satellite A200 - battery empty after 2 hours

  My laptop SATELLITE A 200 - BJ runs exactly 2 hours when I'm on the plane "save energy" - then I have to download. Is it normal?

  I bought 1 month ago and I don't konow how :(
  Please help me, thx

  Hello

  Why would it not normal? I presume that you very well now that Vista uses more resources than Windows XP Home edition and it is logical that energy consumption is also higher than on Windows XP Home edition.

  To be honest the 2 hours is OK for this model of laptop. I have the Satellite A200-1CR and battery is also about 2 hours. Less than 2 hours, but sometimes it depends on notebook use.

• Satellite A200 - 23Q - issue processor upgrade

  Hello, I am from Greece, and I'm new here, I know im newbe...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200 - 23q (motherboard: intel gm965, cpu: t5550 (1, 8 GHz))...

  Currently, I bought Intel T7500 (2, 2 GHz)...
  Can I upgrade this laptop with this processor? What can the BIOS I've updated to?

  Sorry for my language faults...

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not advisable.
  Firstly the BIOS that has been developed for this device has not been tested with different processors, and in the worst case the BIOS won't be compatible with the new processor.

  The Chipset must support this CPU;
  http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

  Chapter 1.1.1 processor support:
  The chipset supports processors Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile 533 Mhz and 800 Mhz FSB support.

  Processor Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 supports 800 MHz FSB, so it should be supprted by the chipset.

  But once again; There are other reasons why upgrading the CPU doesn't have to be done;
  The BIOS is one of the reasons.
  The second reason is the higher heat dissipation which would be created by CPU more strong that could affect the functionality of the laptop as well.

• Satellite A200: Fingerprint issue - cannot find the fingerprint sensor device

  I have a series 1.5 year of Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) with fingerprint scanner integrated.

  Recently I became unable to use the scanner.
  He back constantly with an error "cannot find device fingerprint sensor.

  I don't know how I can fix this problem because it is incorporated.

  I have not installed anything recently so I don't know what happened.

  Help, please!
  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the software of fingerprint?
  See the Toshiba page for the latest version of the software.
  First uninstall the previous fingerprint software and reboot the laptop.

• Satellite A200 overheating issues

  I got my A200 2.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 2 x 160 GB in Raid 0, 512 MB ATI Mobility HD2600, 2 GB DDR2 667 around the Christmas period in 2007, since I bought it I had a major problem that has never been corrected under my warranty. Laptop overheating, overheating all playing games, when copying large files or after a few hours of heavy use. I had the graphics card and card mother, or even replaced the cpu, graphics card twice. now I'm no longer under warranty, and the problem starts again. I can't run without it going down.

  My options: take it back to harvey norman and try to get them to fix it again
  Call toshiba and get them to maintenance for me (they're going to clean the dust out of her charge me two hundred and it will start to play a month later)
  by the post here and hope that some toshiba tech can explain a possible bios fan problem, or how to clean myself.

  If I don't get help, I think I'll try to get the laptop all replaced by toshiba - see if they'd pay the difference, because they sold me a product defective, reports on this issue are very common online without a solution - they want your using the wrong or something but im drivers everything works the out of the box and it has the same problem.

  Ive tried everything, keeping the computer about 6 inches on the desktop but the internal component always on a fire of disks formatted. A friend of mine has a similar problem with another company and they replaced the laptop everything and updated. I hope toshiba can offer me something similar though I am no longer under warranty. However, the components I had replaced 6 months ago problably are still.

  so if anyone has a solution or if toshiba could get it please contact me it would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Disassembly manuals are not available on the pages of Toshiba. I guess that they are not for public use. If you need instructions on how then you glasses a bit.
  Maybe you could be successful.

  One of my friends has one of the portable Sat A200 and it works without problems.
  It has installed Win XP.
  I remember that after installing Win XP, you will need to update the BIOS to the version of Win XP. There are two different versions of BIOS. XP and Vista.

  My laptop (Toshiba not a) overheated in the past because of the clogged vents. Circulate fresh air could not t and the internal temperature has arisen at a critical level. I cleaned the vents of the dust and debris with the can of compressed air.
  This helped a little.

  But after some time the problem happened again the next local laptop technician, I visited and he disassembled the laptop in order to renew the layer of fat that was placed between the CPU and the cooling fans.
  He said that this is necessary if the heat created by the CPU would not drain properly.

  After that, my laptop is ok.
  Of course I have enough free space around the laptop because it is very important to the circulation air properly!

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 - battery loose quickly

  Hello

  Please I need help... I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 8.
  Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP3.

  I noticed that the wireless connection, working the laptop on battery, drops and sometimes connects but connect to normal power supply it is easy

  I have looked for similar issues and found that Intel for wireless devices does this to save battery. I followed the instructions I found and Wi - Fi worked well by increasing the management of feeding in device settings Wi - Fi, but the main problem is when I increase the power, the laptop computer on batteries, the computer apparently management to lose battery power quickly.

  Should I change the defective part by the manufacturer or what to do...?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As you know the power consumption is based on the use of the laptop and also the power settings. I put t know what exactly do you do when your laptop works with battery power, but it will be interesting to know how long you can only use it to batteries.

• Satellite A200 works fine on battery but hangs when adding power supply.

  Hello
  I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200. I have no problem when I charge the battery and just run the battery, however, as soon as I plug in the adapter and I have problems.

  The machine seems to freeze and the screen has different colours in the lines and blocks.
  I bought a new adapter, but same problem persists.

  I think that this is without a doubt for professionals and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider.
  Explain the situation and let it check your laptop.

  The A200 is older model laptop and I can't imagine you have been faced with a question described the first day so I'm afraid that there must be some hardware problem and to fix it you need professional help m.

• Satellite A200 is not charging the battery

  Hello everyone!

  I apologize for my English; It is not the main language.
  Somehow that I can take my Satellite A200 and Assembly are not correctly open the cable (don't know what the cable, apparently the power of the screen), it has been between the keyboard and the top panel, but I forgot and put it between the motherboard and the top panel and... when all assembled and understood that most of the burned... cables precisely burned coil... cord I immediately pulled out but the battery remained in it... in general not very well turned out ;)))

  As a result of what it led to: first is sometimes not visible when you move the keyboard and the touchpad... to eliminate the need to restart the car... then, in principle, sometimes a laptop is not included, i.e. of tanning power of the lamp and all... in this case to remove the worst... and finally, power cable the battery is more responsible... i.e. After all this, I discharge the battery and now the laptop only works on the power cable.

  Question: is the problem of battery or motherboard?

  Your English is hard to understand, but it seems that you disassembled the laptop and some cables connected in the wrong way.
  Then something is charred and now you have some problems with the battery, etc.

  I think that there is a hardware problem, who knows what you did in the past
  The fact is that you did something wrong... it is always a risk if someone without a technician experience disassemble the laptop.

  In your case, I recommend you contact someone who knows how to check the hardware specifications, you need professional help

• Had to remove my battery to start my Satellite A200

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 after allmost 4 years of use on shutdown remained with the

  "Power on led" lights up on the systray and refused to start when I hold down the Power button.

  When the Batttery was deleted and I tried to start with cable AC power adapter, it starts as usual

  without any problem.

  The model is A200 - 1 M 4

  Model No.: PSAEOE - 04E029GE

  DC19V 3.4 HAS

  Made in China IT.

  So far, my battery has been recharged effectively

  and kept the load when unused for at least 5 days. When I

  a pluging in the AC/DC adaptor the led turned blue in a few

  minutes, anyway it was never orange flashing.

  Until recently, with the AC adapter disconnected with my recharged cable

  battery I could follow work for at least a year and a half hours.

  Can I check the status of the battery before replacing?

  Should I be looking for another vice of repair or not my battery needs replacement.

  Can someone try to help.

  Thank you.

  Thank you for your comments.

• Satellite A200 - loses the battery, switch off the power

  I have a relatively old Satellite A200, yet almost all inside is new except the battery. The battery has a very short life, but that's because its old. Recently the computer started to suddenly lose the battery, so the charge light stays on, the battery light turns off and the battery icon said "plugged in, not charging." However, the computer still work on battery power. If I see it at the time, then by removing and replacing the charger repeatedly, I can start it load again, but if I am not it switches off without warning. Since the battery life is now less than a minute which often.

  I don't think that the problem is with the charger because it always shows the charger is plugged in, and when the computer is off the battery light is always on when it is plugged. I had a problem with the power connector, but if the motherboard was recently replaced so I don't think that's it either.

  If someone could help it would save me a lot of frustration, thank you.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that you should not be frustrated. Problems with consumer products are normal, and each of us has problems with laptops, televisions or other electronic product.

  Let's see what you can do about it.
  Your description is OK, but what I want to know is follow:
  When you remove the battery can work on your laptop with no problems (start work, cut)?

  I also think that the battery is too old and I presume it's troublemaker in the history. It is not easy to explain what behavior flashing if you have a defective hardware or old coin inside.

  Maybe, you need to buy the replacement of the battery and check the features for laptop and the battery, just to see if everything will be OK again. If you will be faced with the same problem again then we can discuss what may be the problem.
  In my opinion only a reason for this could be electronic power supply.

  What do you think?

• Satellite A200 use external battery

  Hi all.

  I have the Satellite A200-PSAE6E, and I bought a universal external battery. But external battery cannot produce enough current to my laptop when the internal battery is not full. When internal battery is fully charged, external keeps it full and portable computer running, but when the internal battery is not complete and I plug the external battery in seconds laptop shows that it is plugged in, charging the battery, but after a few seconds, it shows only that the laptop is plugged, and battery charge.

  Problem is that when the laptop is plugged in and the battery won't charge it uses an internal battery (as when it is not plugged in), and it drain the internal battery it turn off and there was still shows that it is connected. Can I define that when the laptop is plugged in, but does not charge to use external power?
  I'm sure it's only the software solution.

  You ad is really confusing

  I have a question; Is the external battery designed for this model of laptop and Toshiba recommends use this external battery in your laptop?
