Satellite A200 - beep code unknown

Hey guys,.

Got an A200 m01 (I think) of 2008, who last night decided to no boot. He makes before the BIOS screen, but when at Windows startup, the screen turns off and beeps continuous (and infinite) (kind of pulse). Now, I can't find anything on Insyde BIOS, but the common continuous beep is a RAM error. I was hoping that this would be the case (although I realize posting is completed before the BIOS splash screen is displayed and so I am at a loss as to what she is ACATUALLY), but to remove a RAM module the system only gives me a BIOS beep code! What the hell!

And no amount of Googling got me closer to resolve this. I'm a poor student, so I can't afford to bring to a repairer of computer for them to charge me $80 to say its dead, so if anyone has any information I would be very grateful!

Thank you

Taylor

Hey Taylor,

I think the problem is that only an authorized service provider knows the exact beep codes and their reasons so that you can t find much in the Internet.

Of course such a problem is a little annoying but you re right, theoretically it could be a RAM problem. As I understand, a single module of RAM is installed on your computer, right?
Have you already tested the module in a different RAM slot? Theoretically the slot memory could be faulty also.

In addition you can test the RAM itself module using software special test than Memtest86. It s freeware tools that you can find with Google. Simply create a bootable disc and boot of it. The test will start but it can take up to an hour or more until he finished s.

Maybe Memtest86 will find something but let's wait what happens if comments would be great. :)

  • Upgrading RAM in the Satellite A200-1WR

    Hello!

    My laptop is a Satellite A200-1WR, code PSAE3E-05J01CCE, including 2.048 (1,024 + 1,024) MB RAM memory.
    I wonder if it is possible to upgrade to 4 GB memory
    In the specifications, it is said that the maximum expansion is 2 GB.

    However, I don't know if 2 GB is the maximum expansion for each slot, it is possible to have two modules of 2 GB each, or the motherboard was held 2 GB total.

    Thanks in advance

    Unfortunately, this model of laptop can handle with 2 GB of RAM only.
    Sorry, but move to 4 GB is not possible.

  • Satellite A200 - Webcam disconnected message 'unknown device '.

    My integrated webcam has stopped working. I downloaded and installed the latest driver available (Chicony 1.7.115.0213) but still does not work the camera. When I run the software assistant camera it tells me that the camera is disconnected. On the other hand, there is a notice from Windows telling me that there is an unknown USB device (Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0002) which I suppose is the camera. I tried Googling the issue or search in this forum but I have no answer. I would be really grateful if anyone can help me find a solution. Just in case, here is my PC details:

    Hello

    > On the other hand there is a notice from Windows telling me that there is an unknown USB device (Port_ #0001.Hub_ #0002) which I suppose is the camera

    Yes, it could be the internal webcam.
    Seems that the driver has not been installed correctly.
    What to say; first remove the old webcam software from the system.
    Then clean the operating system using a tool like CCLeaner, for example.
    After that, go into Device Manager and remove the unknown device.
    Restart the unit.
    Reinstall the webcam software and check if the device has been recognized again.

  • Satellite A200 - black screen with two beeps

    Date: October 17, 2009

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer * model A200 PSAFCA-01400J *. I am facing a problem of * completely black screen * (I can't see any image either). It happened twice more than the screen wouldn't turn on by moving the mouse or the touchpad. To turn on the screen I had to restart the computer. The screen worked well until it turns off again. Since it does not turn on even after I restarted my computer several times. I noticed that my * Windows vista home premium * load properly I can hear audio that indicates that I am ready to open a session. I also noticed the sound signal after slipping my finger on the sensor attesting that I connected successfully, but the screen remains black.

    When I turn on my computer, I noticed that it sounds two beeps, first beep is short and the second beep is relatively long. I tested the cover closing the cover switch and noticed that my computer goes into sleep mode and by opening the cover that Eve turns off and my computer turns on again; but the screen remains black. One of my friends suggested that the backlight of the screen inverter or the lid switch is defective. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and what do the two beep codes?

    Thank you

    Hi mate,

    Normally the beep codes at the start of average that it s something wrong with the hardware of your laptop. As Akuma said, maybe the graphics card or RAM must be replaced or other parts too.

    Have you already tried to connect an external monitor? You can see a picture on this subject?
    I don't know but maybe what he s m only internal something wrong with the monitor.

    In any case, I think you should contact a service provider for help. Technicians can check the laptop and fix it for you.

  • Satellite A200 - unknown device after installing XP

    Hello.

    Satellite A200 PSAE6E.
    Install Windows XP instead of Vista.

    Everything well instead of a thing. Device Manager indicates PCI Memory controller is peripheral unknown and showed the symbol of the brand in question.

    What could do? I think I installed all the drivers that were possible to download from Toshiba support.

    Any suggestions? Really appreciate it.

    Peace!

    You will never find a driver for XP PCI memory controller.
    This material is only supported by Vista and so you can ignore this yellow exclamation point.

    Furthermore, cela I found on the Toshiba site:

    Hello

    If a stuck keyboard key it can cause these beep codes you have spilled something on the keyboard in the past?

    Everything works correctly if Windows has started, or do you have other problems too?

    As already written Akuma I recommend you contact a service provider authorized too. Guys can check your laptop because it is difficult to say what part is affected without exact diagnosis and it is possible that professional people. You can find a list of all FSA here:

  • 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!

    Hi friend

    theres another post with the same question:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=31190

    the discussion is about this device. I guess this could really be something like the HARD drive acceleration sensor (the sensor that parks the disk heads HARD when the machine is moved faster then usual).

    Maybe then it's a device that can be left since you won´t get the drivers for it. Another good option would be to google for this error...

  • Satellite C650D - 10K does not start, that means this beep code?

    Hello

    My friend spilled tea on his cell phone, after dry at first, it worked, but now at startup it sounds right: 3 long, 2 short, 3 long and short 2.

    I can't find beep codes documented anywhere, but if someone can tell me what this code is that I can at least decide whether it is worth trying to recover or clean the motherboard with isopropyl alcohol!

    I tested the memory on another laptop and it's good but I can't really test the CPU, or anything else.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    The beep code appears especially if the POSITION cannot be passed correctly.
    If the problem is detected until the BIOS initialize the video card and the code cannot be displayed on the screen of the BIOS will play several beeps.

    Each BIOS supports the meanings of the own beep codes.
    For example BIOS Toshiba beep code is not the same thing as "beep code" Phoenix BIOS.

    As far as I know the Satellite C650 supports a Phoenix BIOS.
    But the BIOS is changed by laptop manufacturer so it would be possible that the beep code are different.
    However, you can try to search in the internet for a description of the code.
    I found this site:
    http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm

    But in general these problems can be solved easily.
    I recommend you contact a technician with experience huge book to analyze the material in terms of fault possible.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I m not an expert with this tool of fingerprints, but I noticed here in the forum that the relocation of the fingerprint software could help get rid of this problem.

    According to the Web of Toshiba site, the new fingerprint software is version 5.8.0.4024.
    You have installed? Otherwise reinstall the software of fingerprint and test it again.

  • WXP on Satellite A200 - 1 M 7 - now I have 4 unknown devices

    Hello!

    I had problems installing Windows XP SP2 home edition on my Satellite A200 - 1 M 7.
    Vista comes with this laptop, but I decided to go back to the roots.
    Downloaded all the drivers available for this model and install.

    Now, I have 4 unknown devices in the hardware monitor.
    I guess I know what it is because I still don't see things working:
    1. audio card: update done BIOS, installed kb888111 and kb835221 and sound driver. No change.
    2 Bluetooth monitor: installed the driver but also no change.
    3. WiFi: the same thing, I can see the window manager of Atheros Wi - Fi, but it does not work (I am sure about that because I have another laptop nearby, and he sees my Wi - Fi router).

    Does anyone have these problems and how to solve it?

    Very simple procedure ;)

    The Satellite A200 - 1 M 7 seems to belong to the series PSAE3E and you should switch in this series to download all the drivers from Toshiba.

    Before you install the try XP updated the BIOS to the XP version (at this time v.5.30 - victory)
    Then check install Instructions txt file and install all THE drivers Toshiba and tool using the order mentioned in the present document.

    Please note that Windows XP should be updated to the State and several important fixes must be installed directly on the Microsoft site.
    So I would recommend checking the MS Update site and install every difficulty.

    By the way;
    Bluetooth monitor is not the installation of the driver the driver Portal Toshiba BT BT:
