• Satellite A200 - how to increase the graphics memory?

  Hi, another question.

  I am unsing an A200-1CC, it's an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family settled. I tried to install a game that requires memory graph 256Motets. I received an error message "Shadow Pixel 1.1" maybe not supproted... and the page the maanufactured FAQ told me be sure to habe 256 MB in use.

  The A200-1CC has a 1024 MB of RAM and uses only a little over 100 MB memory graphics. I have check the Intel web page. My 945 Chipset supports Pixel of the shadow; and memory maximum grpahics used in 256 MB. So I increased my mother-2048 MB memory card today. However; It shows still 122 MB graphics memory in use. Page intel says that sometimes you can adjust the DMTV in bios, but that does not apply to my system.

  Any chance to get used to 256 MB graphics memory? -I use a Vista system...?

  Thanks in advance for any idea you may have.

  Hello!

  No, you can increase the video RAM and there is no option to change this.
  The video RAM will be assigned automatically, but you can t change that.

  I know this good news of aren t but in my opinion the Intel graphic card is not designed for games. An nVidia or ATI card graphics would be a better solution for the game.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 cease automatically charge the battery?

  I hope that I have the answer to this question

  Thank you
  wait for your reply

  I m not an expert but I have 2 laptops.
  In two books, the battery while AC is plugged.
  I think the latest battery technology allows to use the battery and the power adapter at the same time and it affects doesn t the battery strong performance.

  But my 9 years into the first computer battery laptop doesn't work anymore. He died after about 2 years of use. Now, it lasts for about 1 min, then it s empty.
  But the battery is old and it is nothing unusual.

  Your battery is going to die also sooner or later, but in my s TI doesn't matter if the battery is inserted and that the AC adapter is plugged in or not.

• Memory of Satellite A200 - 12 X increases the problem

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A200 12 x (PSAECE) with Windows7-64 bit and I tried to increase its memory. This laptop has 2 GB (4 GB MAX), so I bought a 2 GB card to try and everything was ok. So I bought another stick of memory 2 GB, the same model as precedent, and after installing Windows said: installed 4 GB - 3 GB usable.

  My first thought went into the BIOS, so I tried an upgrade for him, but there are only two updates of BIOS for this laptop: Windows vista 1.8 (I have it) and Windows XP 5.2.

  Is there any way that I can take to achieve the increase in memory? or this upgrade possible memory to 4 GB was just a marketing hook.

  Thank you.

  David

  >... or this possible memory to 4 GB upgrade was just a marketing hook.
  How much RAM is recognized in the BIOS?

• 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

• Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

  So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

  But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

  The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
  But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

  The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - how to check the temperature of the processor fan?

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A200 that my teenagers use a little, or abuse a little! Recently, it would not start up. I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

  Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey mate,

  How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  In addition if the fan doesn't work anymore it of necessary to replace. You can order spare parts at an authorized service provider.

  Hmm. are you sure your laptop was equipped with an internal BT module?
  To my knowledge, not any of the A200 series support the BT

  However, you ask the BT (pilot) software.

  Here you are:

  It is a Toshiba BT portal. You will find the latest version of the BT software.

• Satellite A200: Should I remove the battery when working on the power supply

  Hello

  I've been running an A200 machine for the last 2 months, bought as a desktop replacement in order to fit in my small apartment. I realize now that I never ued work on battery - it is always powered on sector. Since this is unlikely to change, should I remove the battery? Deing battery degrades remaining in the machine while it is continusouly by the industry feeding, or does it not matter?

  Thank you very much in advance for your reviews.

  GW.

  You can remove it, but it should not be done. For me, it's stupid to remove the battery and let the dust make the battery place dirty. The batteries we use today are very good and Scott wrote the electronic power supply just to check if the battery is full and care the battery and the battery capacity.

• Satellite A200 - how to use the disk recovery and backup all the files?

  Hi I have a Satellite A200 that came with a "product recovery cd. Recently I got an infection/trojan/spyware such as windows defender was taken over by something else (a lot of error abnormal messaes and asking me to purchase the full version). I'm no expert, but surely, I know that windows defender is a free program.

  Anyway, please could someone give me advice on the best way to solve this problem. that is the best option to use. Is there anyway that I can back up the files that I have (with the exception using an external HD drive).

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  _How to use the recovery disk? _
  That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
  In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

  _How to save files? _
  First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

  In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

  You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

  Now it works fine except that I realized that now I had only one Volume, which is the C drive with 112 Giga bytes.

  the thing is I want to make drive c: only 30 GB and D drive be the rest of the space.
