Satellite A200 (PSAE3E) - stops randomly

Hi all!

I got an A200 PSAE3E in my possession which stops randomly. He really died the hard way. I have excluded a software problem, because even this wenn waiting for PXE, so no start-up of the drive HARD or another device...

The only idea I have left is to Flash the BIOS to get it to work again properly as I thought it might have something to do with faulty breaks? Or anything that leaves the BIOS to be originally...
When he is not the BIOS, then the motherboard itself must be faulty which leaves me only one option: throw this piece :-D

* Up to now, the real question: how Flash BIOS without using an operating system like Windows? Is it a kind of combination of button I can press start so he can a BIOS file from a USB flash? *

Help would be very appreciated.

Hi medis,.

Without an operating system it s not possible to update the BIOS. All updates of BIOS provided on the official website of Toshiba are windows, depending on whether you need an operating system running up-to-date BIOS.

To be honest I have don t think that the BIOS is the reason for this

The laptop is overheating or hardware malfunction s motherboard or the CPU

If it s just an overheating issue you can solve the problem yourself by cleaning radiator with a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.
If it doesn t help you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys have professional tools to make an accurate diagnosis of your laptop, so they can tell you what to do in this case.

  • Satellite A200-1QK stops randomly

    Hello.

    Well, lately, my computer randomly stops after a while. For some reason, I can't activate it for 1 or 2 minutes when what is happening. I wonder, is this a battery problem? Or y at - it something worse than that?

    Thanks in advance.

    I put t think its a battery problem!
    For me, it looks like an overheating problem.

    If the temperature rises to the critical level the laptop stops automatically to avoid overheating of the material!
    You will have to wait until the temperature goes down and after about 5-10 minutes you could restart the laptop.

    I think the laptop overheats because cooling cool don t properly hardware modules. Because of the dust and debris inside the laptop don't twist not fans with maximum performance and this leads to a higher temperature.

    In my opinion, you should try to clean the fans using a jet of compressed air!
    Most computer dealers offer these professional tools.

    Satellite A200 (PSAE3E)

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know if you have already tried to reinstall the operating system on this laptop.
    I want to say that these two issues could be related to software problems

    The windows OS should receive and install Microsoft update without worries, and if this is not possible a software problem is possible.

    I put t know if some important system files are confusing upward or if a register issues causes bother but I m sure that Vista should receive patches and updates correctly after reinstalling again.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to test this! Before you start the recovery procedure to backup your important data!

    Hello

    But I can not all drivers referred to work, I lived about three downloads.

    I'm working on an A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007, a teacher who have requested to be downgraded to XP so that school software can work on it.

    I also looked at the Intel site, trying to find out which Chipset Intel is on this laptop, they said to go into the Device Manager, expand System devices and look for the Intel channel, here is what I found:

    Intel (r) 82801 PCI Bridge - 2448
    Intel(r) 82802 Firmware Hub Device
    Intel(r) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 283F

    As you can see, it's hard to tell which is the right one and find the right driver for the drive SATA is painful.

    -Obviously, you have mobile Australian model visit the to THE Toshiba support page and NZ
    -Choose laptop > Satellite A200-(PSAE3A)
    -Follow the list with 52 drivers listed, and in the Middle, you'll find some DCIS XP F6 Install Tool

    Hello
    I am a real novice with this stuff so please bear with me and my stupid questions.

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07M 007. I got no upgrade at all.
    It has only 1 GB of RAM. It's so slow its driving me crazy.

    Cannot afford the new PC. Can I spend it?
    What I have to buy. I'm a little afraid to go to someone right now because they could tell me anything and I would believe it!

    Thank you

    Nice

    Hi mate

    According to the info I found [here | http://www.computerdirect.co.nz/products/NOTTOS429.pdf] the memory of the Satellite A200 PSAE3A - 07 M 007 can scale up to 2 GB of RAM.
    This means that you can buy another 1 GB RAM module (1 GB RAM PC2-5300 memory module) in order to improve this device.

    The upgrade is not very difficult.

  • Satellite A200 PSAE3: Windows XP Home edition do not recognize the modem and sound card

    Hi all!

    I can't understand what is the problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAE3)... I downloaded all the files on the right of the Toshiba Download Center, updated the BIOS to WXP but XP still not find any sound card or any modem. He isn't finding a device with a "?" question mark on this...

    There are so many different drives, I tried, but no one has changed the situation...
    Anyone has any advice?

    Thanks in advance,

    ciroopi

    Well, I found the solution to the problem! :)

    so, I write these verses down for anyone who might know the same problems:

    as usual, strictly follow the 'Toshiba A200 Installation sequence' found on the TOshiba driver download page.
    as he [I jumped no useful installation programs]

    I advice restart you each time you install a component, in order to have under control the whole Exchange.

    1 Windows XP Service Pack2 (RTM) - of course ;) -.
    [...]
    DirectX V9.0c 5 (SP2)
    Windows Media Player 10 V10.00.00.4036 6
    [...]
    10 Microsoft .NET Framework V1.1.4322 (SR1)
    11 Sun Java 2 Runtime Environment V1.6.0
    12 Intel ICH8M Chipset utility V8.2.0.1014
    13 Intel VGA driver 6.14.10.4833 965GM

    Note that driver VGA, the ATI we too, was also a difficulty - in fact, I don't know what it would have done - for the AUDIO sound card.
    You may have read in the installation dialog box.

    Moreover, I do not know if you must install the sun java, .NET framework and WMP version that displays the list, versions that are OLDER than the most recent, but just to be sure, download the form versions THAT NET.

    at this point, you should see "unknown PCI device" in the unknown devices in the system control panel.

    14 Realtek ALC268 Audio Driver V5.10.0.5433

    for realtek, I suggest you download the driver from the zip from the realtek download page; Once extracted from the latest version for desktop or a temp directory, I suggest to install before all the patch KB888111 you might find in the \WDM_Rxxx\MSHDQFE.

    then restart.

    for now, you should not see the "unknown PCI device" no more where it was before, but under the "system devices", like her, where you could also end the "Intel PCI Express Root Port", "Pci Bus" and so on [ja? m saying this to you because ja? m Italian aid of XP, and I don't remember the exact English names...].

    Now, install the audio drivers by using the setup.exe that you find in the \WDM_Rxxx directory.
    It should reinstall the kbfix and install the new drivers.

    Reset.

    After the reboot, nothing happens, but...

    .. see the "unknown pci device" menu - here? m not sure the name but the one with the exclamation mark in the 'system devices' - select 'Properties' and then 'driver' and 'update driver'. Let XP find the NOT on the net. tell XP to look for "Video and Audio Controller, game" [you know, the English entry that usually stands for device audio and similar] and he must find a CORRESPONDING driver, which is the "MICROSOFT UAA BUS DRIVER for HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO".
    If XP don't select this driver by itself, you should look for "\windows\system32\DRIVERS\hdaudbus.sys".

    After that, XP automatically detects ALL audio devices and install the correct drivers.
    In addition, it now the entrance to the modem, modem to install the separate driver, that we could find in down in the "list system", like her, on the Toshiba download page.

    So, hope this helps!

    See you soon,.

    This problem can be solved very easily install the right driver SATA ;)

    Yes, you must install a SATA driver to recognize the SATA HDD!

    I did, is that your Win XP doesn't do not contains the latest SATA drivers that are necessary and important install the Windows operating system.

    The Intel Matrix Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers for two different chipsets.
    Visit the European driver from Toshiba or Intel page and download the Storage Manager!

    You will need an external USB FDD drive to include this SATA driver in the installation of Win XP.
    Maybe you remember that Setup during the installation process of Win XP Win XP request by pressing the F6 key to install a 3rd party SATA drivers.
    You must connect the external floppy drive, and then you could install such SATA driver.

    But perhaps the problem is the USB FDD drive.
    To be honest I n t have such external floppy drive unit and so I had to include the SATA driver using another solution.

    I used the * program nLite. It s for free and may be required from the internet. Google simply.
    You can use this application to create a new XP CD with SATA driver. Then you could start from this new CD to install XP on your machine.
