Satellite A200 PSAF6A - DVD burning issue, pixel dead, overheating

Hello

I bought a Toshiba A200 (model PSAF6A) of back in January, and it is riddled with problems since then:
-Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
-Several dead on the screen pixels
-Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
-Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!

Now, for me, it seems that the motherboard may have started to die.

What I'd like to know is if it will be replaced with so many problems if I take service? (I reserved a pick-up for today)
Or they'll just to try to solve every problem?

-Can't burn DVD (not @ around 50%, any software is used)
... could be a defective DVD player. or could be bad upperfilters/lowerfilters. http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

-Several dead on the screen pixels
... LCD display needs to be replaced if it meets Toshiba pixel policy.

-Overheating when playing games (I bought an external cooling block)
... Too much dust in the heat sink, must be blown to the compressed air, or dismantled so its really clogged. Dust accumulation is common in carpeted rooms.

-Now, all fans are dead inside the laptop! Overheating in the first 10 minutes of starting the laptop computer!
... If the fans don't turn up at all, there must be a lot of dust in there. The fans need to be replaced.

  • Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) resets randomly

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A) randomly resetting itself. It does not matter what job I do, or how long I let the laptop, it will be just black screen on me and reboot. Sometimes he'll do Mid-when the form starts, other times I can use it for a while before he'll do. It seems to be a problem which intensified during some time, occurring initially quite rarely, which is now so frequently that it makes the phone unusable.

    This issue seems to happen mostly when running off the AC power. When you use the battery I have minimal problems, until the battery runs out. Although stability is much higher when you use the battery, I can't confirm that AC is actually the cause of the problem, because it is a random problem and I will sometimes use alternating current for a long time without error.

    I can say that the problem is not caused by overheating or drivers/software/OS. The laptop has been maintained to be free of all dust blocking the radiator as well as for a new application of thermal grease for NB and CPU chips. Everything is running at the level of the standard factory.
    I tried Linux, XP, Vista, Win7 and can tell it seems to be a problem specific to an operating system or driver (he got the problem when no OS has been loaded yet).

    If anyone has had similar problems or knows what could be my problem, your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!

    Did you try it with the factory settings? I mean the version preinstalled Windows that you can restore it with the Toshiba recovery disc. This disc contains all of the drivers and tools and with these settings, everything should work fine.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

    The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

    I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS or other laptops, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective.
    In this case, you need to replace the HARD drive.
    In this case, you will not be able to start the recovery procedure from the HARD drive because it works badly as he has already said

    Are you from the Australia? If you need a recovery disk, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP to get this drive

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - cannot find drivers

    Satellite A200 PSAF6A-07G01N

    I can't find the download of the driver page.
    There is probably one. If there isn't one, what can I use instead?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The Satellite A200 PSAF6A-07G01N is an Australian for Toshiba laptop model.
    The same laptop models were released in the United States, but the model number was different (PSAF6U - 02900T)
    But most of the drivers are the same and would operate on your Australian unit.

    Go to the Toshiba U.S. driver page:
    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/drivers
    and the search for model PSAF6U - 02900T get the appropriate drivers.

  • Re: Satellite A200 PSAF6A - his plays through speakers using headphones

    When I plug my headphones into the port, nothing happens, still plays through the speakers.
    Is it drivers or something, because I want it redownload.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A.

    Hello

    This seems to be an Australian series for Toshiba laptop.
    You can find it here:
    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    You will find the audio driver and the most recent BIOS.

    But I recommend to check the sound settings first.
    I guess that's a Realtek audio chip in the Realtek audio Manager panel you could supply some parameters that control the headphones and speakers.

    Tab of reading on the right you will find the headset by clicking right into this and check the options that are available.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - question of upgrading the Bios

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAF6A and I am trying to upgrade the Bios as the current has a virus or something in it and I want to know how to do this with a floppy disk based BACK or how to make a boot disk for bios.

    Any help would be so appreciated thanks.

    > I'm trying to upgrade the Bios because the current has a virus or something in it
    Virus in the BIOS?
    Sorry mate but I put t believe that! Why do you think the ROM module where the BIOS is stored could be affected by the virus?

    In addition, the traditional BIOS (BACK as you say) is not available for download!
    You can find a BIOS based on the victory and these BIOS can be updated from windows system!

  • Satellite A200-244-DVD/CD burning issues

    Hi all

    I got my Satellite A200-244 since February 2008 and I am very happy with it, except for the cd/dvd burner that is completely useless.

    I have yet to burn a cd (data or audio) without errors occurring.
    In fact these days, I can't burn a cd of all - iTunes doesn't, Winamp does not love, even Windows Media Player he hates now (it was OK with her).

    Is it a problem that others had as well?
    I don't know what to do and I really need to be able to burn CDs!

    I would be grateful for any help/pointers.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    So couldn't read your CD using iTunes and Winamp, but Windows Media Player bed songs is normal?

    One question; have you used the CD compatible and supported?

    Maybe you don t know a fact. All CD or DVD is supported.
    Some media work properly and some dishes t.

    Generally, your user manual should contain a list of CD/DVD supported and tested.

    So I would recommend testing different media for different manufacturers

    Could someone give me the part number for the Toshiba dvd writer/burner
    or offer any compatible dvd burner to fit one

    Computer portable satellite 1400-253 s (ide connection)

    Thank you

    Satellite 1400 is old model of laptop and it comes with several different optical disk drives, but none of them was DVD burner. Currently, these discs were not available.
    Due to this fact, you will not be able to find info on compatibility.

    If you need the list of compatible readers let us know but none of them is DVD burner.

  • Satellite M50 CD/DVD burning problems

    I recently puirchased a Satellite M50 with the CD/DVD Multi-lecteur. Toshiba literature indicates that it can write both write - once and several CD and DVD - writing.

    While I can burn on CD - RW and DVD - RW (DVD + RW) I can't burn discs CD - R or DVD-R (or DVD + R). The error message is something in the sense of ' does not support the driver (or reader) write once discs.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why you can t burn on some media. Maybe it s a malfunction of the media?

    Which models are compatible? I'm good fight opening and Exchange.
    Compatibility just in fact know.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
    You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
    I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
    You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

    I have a Satellite Pro 2100 which has a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and I would like to upgrade to a DVD burner but don't want an external. Could someone tell me which drive is compatible with the model number and where I can get hold of one? Can I get a Toshiba direct? Nowhere would really suit me I need to get one, but just don't know what I can and can not use! Thank you.

    Hi Jamie

    Unfortunately, he was unable for me to find this DVD burner, but if you want to update or change some parts of your laptop the best way is to ask ASP for compatible devices and supported.

  • Satellite L755 - CD/DVD burner stopped burning

    I have a Satellite L755 systems running Windows 7 SP1 which is 11 months old and recently had to get back original which I did without any problems, but I have now discovered that my CD/DVD burner stopped burning. It can read, play music and video, but will not burn. I tried a few different programs to see if it worked, but still the same thing happens.

    The reader is going through the motions and runs for the duration then spits out the CD/DVD and there is nothing about it. When I re - insert, he asks what I want to do with a blank disc.

    Any help would be appreciated

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - Vista now does not start

    A200 PSAF6A - 02C01N Vista built-in HARD drive recovery

    My friend used this PC and she just closes without warning.
    Vista won't start now... Turn it on and it starts to load then apparently hangs on a blank black screen just before the Welcome screen.

    I tried to use Linux to access the drive to get its stuff out before you reinstall, but several different versions of Linux can not install Windows.

    I tried the system recovery running now the 0 key during startup, then releasing 0 when the pc started to beep.
    Starts the recovery of loading, then the screen goes blank for a while, then rises... error... F3-F000-0001 error code... Press ok to reboot.
    Press ok, error message will... screen is blank... drive hard HDD light shows work... but it is not closed.

    Tried to launch a drive to reformat Vista. Boots in the disk, loads the files then crashes, just like the original problem, on a white screen.

    Tried the XP disk running... works well until it gets to the part where you choose where you want to install... and said... cannot install on this pc it is no hard drive!

    Tried formatting disk with Gnome Partition Editor... It hangs in the review of the disc.

    I think the next thing to try is to throw the thing out of a tall building and see if it can fly...

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Hello

    Everything looks like a hardware malfunction.
    But what exactly do you mean by disappear? The drive is not listed in the my computer zone, or he can simply read and write media?

    However, after 2 years of work it s not unusual that the player will start malfunctioning I guess that the lens of the drive can read and write the CD or the DVD.
    So I agree with Marina4000 and it s time for a new

  • The upgrade of the BIOS for Satellite A200 PSAF6A-07G01N

    Hi all

    I'm trying to solve some problems on my mother in computer laptop laws and it looks like a few things low level. I want to do a BIOS update, as on other laptops of my this has solved similar problems.

    The problem I have is to find the good BIOS to use. On the Support download page I select the right model A200 PSAF6A-07G01N etc. You then get to the options of 4 or 5 and the version numbers and types are not very obvious.

    Model: A200 PSAF6A-07G01N
    OS: Vista 32 bit

    I tried to download the only version of Vista 2.6 - 1.98 MB, but it gives me a BIOS for the PSAE3A not PSAF6A which is my model (are they the same?)
    Filtering by Windows Vista & XP you get version 5.2 2.73 MB, but the name is very generic.

    I don't want to kill the laptop so pointers on what BIOS should I use?

    See you soon

    Hello

    You probably have the Australian cell phone model. Therefore the right place to search for the BIOS is under http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/home
