Satellite A200 + Vista Ultimate - power management does not work

No matter what I apply to the power management settings of the screen never goes and the PC never sleep or standby extended. Screen saver does not either - except once - yesterday, for the first time since I bought the PC in August. Has not yet done.

I assumed that this is a bug in Vista. "Tech Guy" PC World (ha ha) cannot repair. Is it at the level of the BIOS or something else? Of course, there is an incompatibility between the OS and the hardware. Video chipset? If you choose a balanced power management, the screen slightly off if you take out the power cord, but that's all that happens. Power management is all set to default.

It's exhausting, because whenever I want to leave the PC for a while, I have to put it to sleep manually.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you

Peter

Hello Peter

First of all are the guys responsible for tech updates? They must offer that you support for the hardware you have and clarify also all problems, if you use a preinstalled recovery media.

Upgrade is your decision, and it is possible that it may have some negative influence on the functionality of the OS. All this is quite complex. As you know Vista has own power management options. Toshiba install PVAT (ValueAddedPackage) and after doing this there are some additional settings.

The question is: How did you get the OS upgrade? Did you do a clean install? Have you installed all the stuff from the download page of Toshiba including VAP?

With other words: all the basic settings on energy consumption are defined in the BIOS. AFAIK in Vista is the management of clean energy implemented and Toshiba installed just a plugin. If these rudimentary BIOS settings are not changed, I guess everything works fine. Change the settings of the BIOS with an update, I can imagine that different settings will not work correctly.

Hmm, that's really not easy to say what you can do. Maybe check for the last update of the BIOS and after doing that it is trying to put the clean install of Vista Ultimate. And, of course, you must install all the stuff from Toshiba following the document of instructions for installations.

    Vista uses only its tools to manage the battery.
    Can you help me?

    You are getting error messages or what?

    The Toshiba for Vista energy saver is not the same as for Win XP.

  • Satellite A200-10N (PSAE3): Fn key does not work after upgrade to vista any time

    After upgrading Vista-Home - Premium--> Vista Ultimate shortcut with the fn keys does not work, for example Fn + F6/7 (brightness).

    New value pack installation has not been successful.
    Moreover, after upgrading the drive to DVD from Toshiba is default, too.
    Who can help?

    I didn't try any update on my A200 but you can try to follow: install Vista using recovery media delivered. When Vista starts for the first time go in Panel and you can find Add/Remove Programs option. Remove all the stuff designed by Toshiba.

    When we remove everything, making Vista upgrade. After finishing Vista upgrade install all the stuff of Toshiba designed by order of specific facilities starting with added value package. Check please the download page if all of these tools and utilities are available.

    As far as I know all the tools and utilities are designed as universal tools and I can't imagine that there is a difference between the version of Vista ultimate or premium tools.

    DVD player is part of the image of the installations only and I can imagine that upgrade installation has changed something, but the upgrade procedure is responsible for this. I don't see any connection to Toshiba.

    As I said I don't have a CD to upgrade, but if I find one I'll try to test it on my Vista (Premium) preinstalled A200-1CR.

    Bye and I hope that you report your experiences with the Vista upgrade again.

    Hello

    > When I switched to Windows XP, I discovered that does not work on standby and hibernation.
    After Installing Win XP, you must update the BIOS to the XP version.
    You should check the page European driver of Toshiba. There are BIOS for Win XP.

    After the BIOS update you reinstall Windows XP, the latest status update and install all Toshiba drivers and utilities.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB: my modem does not work - remote computer is not responding

    My A200 - 1 GB modem does not work correctly. It tries to connect, but at last he said computer remote does not respond. As I noticed it has a modem 56kpbs of "I agree."
    It is shown as Toshiba Software Modem.

    I tried so many times it does not work properly.
    I tried changing the COM ports assigned to several other ports like COM1, COM10 COM, COM 4 ext... same thing happens.

    When I diagnose the modem via the properties of the modem without issues considered.
    Even when I'm component via the modem to a telephone line (I mean as a call) it works fine.
    I mean that he can call on a mobile phone or phone of the Earth.

    A few times he suddnely connects but connected sppedis 24kpbs.

    But the same phone line works correctly with my modem office both as the same as another modem from the laptop.

    It seems that there is a fault on my modem 56 k.
    I tried even uninstall and reinstall, but the issue still exists.

    Can someone help me in this case?

    Hello

    I don t think that the modem would be malfunctions.
    Fact is that if you use the wrong modem configuration, the line may be busy and the modem would not answer.

    I recommend you configure the modem again.
    In programs-> Toshiba-> Networking, you would find the Modem region Select utility that must be configured for the same country.
    Delete the existing profile and create a new!

  • Satellite A200-1FL (PSAE6) - FN key does not work on Windows 7

    I have just installed Windows 7 on my laptop and I can't do touchpad Fn key works. I tried to install the drivers from the Synaptics touchpad, but it does not work.

    What can I do?

    Hi navarone_1,

    This means that the work of FN keys and you can t use the pad touch, right?

    Well, in this case I think that the touchpad is disabled with FN + F9 key combination and therefore, you must install the Toshiba tools to activate the FN keys.

    You can find all the drivers and tools for your laptop on the Toshiba official European page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    You need Support Flash Cards of value added and utility package. These two tools should be released for Windows 7. For Windows 7 32 bit, you can find package of added value but Flash cards Support utility you must download it from another laptop, e. g. Satellite P500. It should work on your model too.

    Last but not less than first installation package of added value and Flash then cards support utility.

    Hello

    I think it s a display driver problem.
    Try to update the graphics driver to the latest version.
    If you will be late nothing on the European driver Toshiba page try to search on the site of Toshiba Canada and 3 websites of third parties such as www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

    If you will not find the latest drivers try this temporary fix.
    Don t let the Windows Vista TMM to manage your multiple monitors.
    Go to Task Scheduler, in the list of active tasks, find the line task TMM, turn it off - off on logon trigger (or delete - save/export task before you do), and then restart your windows. I hope it will work ;)

  • Satellite A200-1VP - new WiFi card does not work

    Hi all

    I just bought an intel 4965agn wireless card to replace the original card intel 3945abg. I bought the card on ebay, it's a computer dell laptop.

    I installed it (connecting the black wire on pin 2 and the white wire to Terminal 3). The device appears in the device manage correctly without any problem. I installed the latest driver from intel for this card.

    the problem is that no wireless connection cannot be captured. the utility intel built in diagnosis, the card seems to fail the test of material. The section troubleshooting said to check the Device Manager and install the appropriate drivers. I've done it before, so I'm not sure of the problem.

    any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi ansarali,

    Why you traded a new WLAN draft N card if you can t use it? I want to say that your laptop was only equipped Intel abg card and for standard project you also need 3 antennas and as much as I know Satellite A200 are not equipped with 3 antennas

    In addition, the antenna cables must be connected correctly. This means that you must connect the white cable to the HAND and the black cable to the auxiliary voltage
