Satellite A200: superior temperature & no HARD 2nd drive connector

Hello world.

I came up with some crazy ideas on my laptop and I would like to ask if they are achievable.

1E) my laptop over the past months has been constantly rising temperatures more than usual.
Fan takes air loads but shots much more less that he usually did. I think that the radiator should have been stuffed with dust.
Warranty will cover cleaning or not?
Also is it possible to replace the thermal paste Artic Silver 5 that I'll give them or I have to disassemble the laptop myself?

2nd) I opened second place to drive and concluded that no connectors exist while easy seals are there and some lines seem to go through.
If I get my hands on a portable disk sata connector, I will be able to weld (I know it voids the warranty) and have a second functioning hard drive?

Hello

(1) generally clean cooling module is not covered by the warranty. If the technician would be clean the fans, then you will have to pay for it. But you can try to clean it with a jet of compressed air that could get many computers and laptop dealers.
It s a professional tool to remove the dust easily.

(2) the A200 series supports various components (motherboards, etc.) and A200 not everything can be improved with the second HARD disk.
If your A200 does not support the second connector HARD drive then you may not use a second HDD. This connector can not be upgraded too.

See you soon

  • Satellite A200 PSAF3A - upgrade the hard drive - data retention?

    Hello

    I am working on a Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF3A with a dying 160 GB Fujitsu 5400 RPM SATA drive installed.
    I would like to replace the hard drive 400 GB 5400 RPM SATA drive in a car with a Fujitsu and transfer any existing information on it. I noticed that there is a standard C:\, a System Volume of Toshiba and a HDDRecovery partition on the current drive.

    Can someone tell me if this is possible by using disk imaging software? If so, what are the issues could meet? (eg. new player will only recognize the old C:\ partition size etc.)

    I have already created a backup of the drive image and all 3 partitions (as she made a lot of noise and possibly at its output) using shadow protect Desktop
    Toshiba HDDRecovery & the System Volume partitions don't show in SPDesktop as the affected drive letters, so I don't know if I can restore using this program. Everyone has used successfully to achieve this result?

    pus
    I also have a Ultimate Boot CD for Windows here, and have successfully used the Roadkills Disk Copy with a SATA Adapter USB to copy a C:\ on a laptop in the past. It would be a better approach? I was thinking of using this method because it must copy all 3 partitions, then just use GParted to resize C:\ to fill the rest of the available HARD disk space.

    Thanks in advance :)

  • Satellite A200 - 26J PSAE6E: No. HARD drive during the installation of XP

    Hay @ all. My name is ahmet.

    I'm from the Germany. I have a problem.

    I bought a toshiba laptop and I think it's a very good laptop.
    But I don't like Vista. It uses to much space, much grafic and a lot more.
    So I tried to install my old windows XP Professional sp2. Here's the problem:

    During installation, Xp procres say there is no hard drive.
    Hmm, I thought I should have a look on other forums. There, they said to integrate a sata driver on the xp cd.
    But I don't understand the using nLite to use.

    Could you show me how I had to reinstall my old XP?
    I have a lot of files to my laptop and I change some settings in Vista so that I could not use internet.
    If I want to reinstall vista with the recovery cd, it would remove all folders, photo ect.
    I use only my other old computer.

    I would be very happy if you could help me.
    Thank you very much!!! If you have an answer I would be too happy

    Hello

    The nLite is a freeware program that helps you to integrate the SATA (Intel matrix Storage Manager) driver in the original XP operating system.

    If you want to know how to use nLite software, then glasses a bit.
    There are many websites that explain how to use nLite.

    (Driver SATA) Intel Storage Manager can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    Last month, I created a new XP CD using the nLite.
    I've included a few pilots, SP2 and some patches it of really not very difficult.

    As I said... Scope of protection is a key ;)

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 - HARD move available disk protection software?

    Hey all.
    I have Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 m 8.

    some laptops for most of the newer mine, even with other brands are equipped with a protection system of the hard disk as the Lenovo ThinkVantage. I wonder if this is just a software or integrated into a thing of material inside the laptop so that the program can fucntion properly. If you have a similar software for my laptop model in the case of the software only, OR you can supply one for me?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    If the Satellite A200 - 1 M 8 would support such feature then you will find the necessary software on the European driver Toshiba page.
    In most cases it s called: HDD Protection Utility.

    Many but not all Toshiba notebook supports this feature.
    My U400 supports and I could find the necessary software on the Toshiba driver page.

  • Satellite A200 - high temperature

    Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite A200, which is about 1 year, and I'm having some problems with its temperatures. Teach them to high, I arrived at a point where the CPU is entered mode security (+ 90 ° c) with a temperature of around 17 ° c. right now, after some time iddle, got around 53ºC temperature of the processor, which is higher than normal.

    The PC is on top a normal table, without anything obstructing the entrance/exit of air. What should I do? I need the laptop but when I have something easily get 70 ° c and more stressful things can get up to 90 ° c, I can get a real problem: S

    Thank you

    Hello

    > got to the point where the CPU is entered mode security (+ 90 ° c)
    Who says that the CPU can access a security mode?

    Normally, if your computer laptop doesn t close or freeze, everything is ok too with the temperatures.
    Or can you notice any problems?

    But concerning your question, I recommend Notepad using compressed air cleaning spray. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 27z does not recognize DVD drive

    Hello

    Ive got the computer laptop toshiba Satellite A200 27z & a while a go it wouldn't turn on at all, I took it to a computer repair shop & they seemed to solve the problem, except that they delete all the "stuff" that comes with the laptop.

    On the most part, he always does things I want to do. But recently I went to play a dvd in there & it won't work, even if it does not play DVD if theyre sent to me by msn etc.

    Normally, when I put a dvd, toshiba dvd player would automatically right away, but now he used. When I go to manually open the dvd player toshiba a message just ups saying:

    * the specific drive is not found. Check the settings by going to settings > stock settings > source. or otherwise check that the disc has been correctly connected to the levels

    Ive been in the "action settings", but the source area is blocked (do not type anything in it). I don't know much about computers and so do not know how to check if the drive is properly connected.

    It will not also recognize when I put a cd that he either, as normally if I put a cd in and then itunes would automatically load upward, now itunes will not appear if a cd is in the laptop & I can't find it anywhere.

    can help someone, I have no idea about these things!

    I had this problem a few months ago, I thought that I should send it to be repaired but Windows Mr Fixit made and my dvd player is running again

  • Re: Satellite P500-1F8 - where to purchase 2nd drive HARD trolley?

    Hello

    I want to add an SSD in the 2nd Bay of my P500-1F8, but need a "caddy" provider to keep in. I removed the two lids HDD bay, currently unused Bay has SATA connections (but no box), but the cart must be different from the one currently being used, as the two screws are used to hold it in place, while the HARD drive is held in place with only one screw on the caddy.

    I intend to use the SSD as a boot only disk and use the current 640 GB HDD for storage. I would have thought, with a laptop this expensive, the caddy would be included, it's only a piece of cheap Tin pressed when all is said and done!

    Any help on this would be greatly received because I really have to add an SSD, but don't want to spend a fortune on a large capacity that would allow me to store all my music, etc.
    Thanks in advance, Roo

    Hey,.

    I can understand you Roo, SSD are really nice so it s good idea to use it as a boot drive and use your HARD drive being stored.

    Anyway, this HARD drive caddy, you can get to an authorized service provider. Guys can order all spare parts Toshiba so I'm sure they can order the correct caddy for you. Here is a list with all the addresses that you can contact them:

  • Remove recovery partition satellite A200 - option "Erase the hard drive"?

    Hi people,

    I have a new Satlellite A200 and it won't start. Tried to run the recovery CD, but no joy.
    Could someone please tell me, if I chose

    'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.

    This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

    I have the recovery CD, but as I said, they do not work and I was wondering if the compensation completely HARD drive then runs the disk recovery partition recovery help.

    Sorry if this is a fundamental question for you guys! I read through hundreds of threads, but could not find a definitive answer.

    Thanks in advance,
    E.

    > 'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.
    > This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

    If you mean the partition hidden WinRE Vista then; YES

    But don t worry buddy. The Toshiba Vista recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions, but it creates the hidden WinRE Vista back to the HARD disk partition.

  • Satellite A200-1QK - need new HARD drive for upgrade

    I was planning on upgrading my A200-1QK (320 GB of HARD drive).

    I was looking for a HARD drive with more space and possibly with more speed, I work with the composition and recording of the audio mixing software and libraries tend to consume a lot of space (I know that an Office would be the best option and I have one, but sometimes I need a more portable solution). I even thought connecting the BONES a SATAII external 1 TB HARD drive but I don't know if it's possible.

    Well, but the question here is:
    What are the technical proprieties that I should look for in a HARD drive so it works on my laptop?
    Y at - it no avaible 7200 RPM for laptops? I'm looking for some 500 GB or larger.

    Thanks in advance =)

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can buy a HARD drive with 7200 RPM, but it produces more heat and need a little more power as a 5400 RPM model. So it of your choice what you buy. ;)
    You can buy each portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA or SATA2 connector. If you are looking for a small tray on online shops, you should find enough hard drives of 500 GB at 7200 RPM.

    I have good experiences with Hitachi and Western Digital hard drives.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 K 8 PSAE0E needs driver for ethernet controller

    Hello

    I bought the above specified A200 and had with Vista. I'm on Windows XP SP2 home edition on it because Vista was dealing well with my audio production programs.
    As Toshiba did not provide a cd of drivers for this laptop I had to find my way on the net. a lot of time but succesfull except one: the Ethernet controller driver.

    Please direct me to it so you can remove yellow questionmark in my device manager (and use my ISDN connection on the machine) or please give some advice on this device so that I can google it. right now I can't find any info abt this EC device.

    I tried to install the battery-BT but installation to halfway there is a request to spend on something that is not om my computer, maybe it's the companions, stll not sure.

    And of course I know that toshiba here for the drivers. There, I had a few other drivers.

    It's almost as if the Ethernet controller on my labtop does not work for Windows XP Home edition, so there is no driver.
    I hope I'm wrong.

    Obrigado of amsterdam

    Hello

    This download page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & downloads), you already know, I found the drivers wireless LAN, lan and modem devices. Can hardly imagine that these drivers do not work.

    Another question is, how do you connect your laptop with ISDN? Normally, you use an ISDN card to do this work.
    Have you tried hardware analysis such as everest programs? Useful tool for finding specific information of material.

    I'm sure there must be a driver of your computer ethernet controller, as I have already referred to the Support & downloads page.

  • Satellite Pro C850-10U - corrupted hard disk drive

    When turned on, it goes to windows recovery screen, then to Startup Repair screen which concludes that "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. In the details of the problem menu drop down problem Signature 07 is "corrupted Volume. I removed the hard drive and run a diskcheck on it and found four occurrences of a bad block.

    I intend to get a new HD to replace this drive and I got all the data I had on the disk. Unfortunately, I don't have any support recovery. I understand that I can buy a Toshiba recovery media. I want to be sure that, before you start this expense, my proposal is logical. Is there anything else I need to know?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    At first, I must say that you need to update your laptop with SSD and HDD not. This will increase the performance of your laptop. SSD isn't more expensive so I think it's the best option for you.

    Recovery media: If you do not have original recovery media for your machine you can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    I hope I could help you. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    I have a laptop Toshiba A200-1 s 5, serial number: X7357433K. I just installed Windows 7 and downloaded and installed all the drivers of Toshiba laptop. I have no problem device in the system information screen.

    In Device Manager, the cards I have that the "Intel (r) PRO/Wireless' network.

I can't find everything Realtek device in Device Manager. Needles to say works Wireless LAN, LAN does not work.

    Connectivity doctor shows Wireless Lan, Dial-up Modem and Bluetooth, but no LAN. Trying to load the driver from Realtek - does not help. -message: the device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31)
    I even tried to install from Realtek and update the driver for lan-20091103092515 - same error Code 31.

    Hey Buddy,

    You have an unknown device in Device Manager? This could be the missing LAN card

    Also check if there are devices hidden in Device Manager. So open the Device Manager and go to view > show hidden devices.

    Normally, you should now see the LAN card and then you can update the driver.
