• Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

  Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

  In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

  model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
  128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

  The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

  Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

  This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

  I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

  Thank you

  Hello!

  In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

  In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

  Check this Toshiba document and think about it:

  Hello

  * UPGRADE RAM PROBLEMS *.

  I just upgraded my laptop from 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM, * but cannot access the 3 GB *.
  I checked all the documents, and he indicates that the laptop should be expandable to 4 GB of RAM.

  Hello
  I searched for Satellite A200-130 record in all Toshiba Site and not found it can help me and post the link to it or tell me if I can move the ram to 2 GB

  Either it's a module problem or that of your memory slots of the malfunctions.
  Test the memory slots only with one memory module and check if memory can be recognize din both banks.

  I also found this site of add-on memory useful:

  [Memory for Toshiba Satellite A200-13O | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=32459&ft=m&st=3]

  It s no matter what manufacture it. But should the module supports the specifications above.

• Satellite A200 - HDD frozen

  I recently inherited an Equium A200. It was handed to me with a faulty HARD drive, so I replaced it with a nice new Seagate 7200 RPM 160GB HDD. As soon as I tried to install an operating system, the BIOS reports that the HDD password is frozen.

  Now, I know how to clear the HARD drive password, so I can try again, but this problem is persistent. I tested this satellite with 2 HDD, I know to work and the same thing happens. I tried, a HARD drive came freshly out another Toshiba (a WD 5400 RPM 160 GB HDD from a Satellite L300). Readers, I've tested work quite happily on other systems, including the brand new Seagate (which I have now installed in the Satellite L300 and works very well).

  I even tried to start the initial installation of the operating system on another system and it stop before the driver installed, then handed over the HARD drive to the Equium to finish the job. The satellite would start for the start of the OS, but then I had a BSOD, followed of a reboot.

  Can someone tell how the hell I'm supposed to get an OS on this thing without the password disk HARD look on me?

  Hi mate

  I understand this correctly?
  The satellite sets passwords HARD drive automatically? It s any HARD disk you have inserted?

  Have you tried to delete the HDD password in the BIOS?
  Please check this!

  You must also set the BIOS to default settings! I think you press F9 in BIOS in order to get the default settings.

  You can also try to update the BIOS a newer BIOS is available on the driver page

  Check it!

• Satellite A200 1UQ Ram upgrade support!

  Hello

  I have 2x1GB Hyundai in my laptop and I want to move to Kingston 1 GB + 2 GB 667 Mhz can you guarantee that it will work correctly on this model?

  The reason that I'm asking is cause I heard my companion Toshiba can't RAM Kingston.

  Thanx
  Best regards.

  Hello

  I'm not quite sure of the A200 but my Satellite A210 m supports the Kingston modules and I never had problems with the Kingston modules in my other two laptops.
  So in my opinion it should not be a problem using the A200 modules too.

• Re: Satellite A200 - DVD player can read but cannot write

  Hello

  Some time ago my DVD writter has stopped working. I have Windows 7 with the latest toshiba drivers.

  The DVD is very good playback of the inserted cd/dvd, the unit is OK in Device Manager, but when you write a DVD it fails somewhere over 50% with "unknown error."

  I tried Nero and standard windows app.

  What do you recommend?

  Hello

  Did you test different DVD from different manufacturers?
  I had a similar problem in the past and since I use TDK R DVDs and CDs and these discs work correctly.

  I also recommend cleaning the DVD player with alkohole laser lens and the tip of the batting.

• Touchpad no longer works on Satellite A200 after Vista upgrade

  Does anyone know why the touchpad stopped working - it happened after an upgrade of Windows Vista Edition family.
  External USB mouse is ok, but the touchpad is not responding.

  Any help would be great. Thank you

  Maybe don t answer touchpad drivers and are muddled up.
  Remove the touchpad of the system driver and reinstall it again.

  The touchpad drivers are available on the European driver Toshiba page.

  Reinstall it and try again!

  PS: You should first check if the touchpad is not disabled!

  Hello

  The GPU (graphics card update) is not possible because the chip is mounted and fixed on the motherboard
  There as a layout of motherboard design books is different as the mobo PC desktop motherboard specifications are already configured and it s not possible to change parts like GPU or CPU (in most cases)

  > Is there a product out of an external graphics from nVidia that I can use to update my video card, as an external video card?
  I googled everywhere and didn t find all external graphics cards from nVidia. I found other products but to be honest I don't know if you will get a performance using these improvements m external cards.

  Try to do it. If the CD/DVD drive may start on the recovery CD and then everything goes well with the material.
  Sometimes the CD / DVD cannot be read by incorrect registry entries.

  Then try to reinstall the operating system and check if the drive can handle the Toshibas recovery CD!

• Satellite A200-1FL: RAM Upgrade - what memory can I use?

  I think to update the RAM of my laptop, but I do not know what type of memory should I buy and what brands are compatible.

  The current RAM is 2 GB and I would switch to a 3 or 4 GB.
  However, I would like to know if this laptop is compatible with Linux.

  Thank you

  Theoretically, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers.
  But modules of memory must support the right specifications.

  You must use the modules that are DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM.

  You can update the memory up to 4 GB, but I think that it of not necessary to do this because the windows OS will recognize only 3 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

  What about you, Linux question.
  Is Toshiba doesn't release all the drivers for Linux and so you need to get the drivers on sites of third other 3rd. But in general I put t see any trouble along with the installation of Linux on Toshiba laptops.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - DVD player does not open

  Hello

  I had no computer laptop withmy problems so far and my DVD/CD does not open. I'm not savvy in same computer so bear with me! There is no lights there at the moment and when I turn on the laptop it does not sound like he used to. I looked on other forums and tried things like access to the Device Manager, but it says that it is on it - any other suggestions would be welcome.

  Oh, and I get no error message and in Device Manager its says that "the device works correctly.

  See you soon

  Hello

  You can try to open the CD/DVD drive using something small and thin. Near the eject button, you should find a small hole.
  You have to slide - in the little thing and should manually open the CD/DVD drive.

  Then try to insert a CD or DVD disc and close the CD/DVD drive.
  Check if the drive can read data from the disc.

  I would recommend also check if the CD/DVD drive would eject the disc by pressing eject button check different opportunities.
