• Satellite M100 - 164 (PSMA0E) - Toshiba need recovery disk

  Hello!

  My sister has a Toshiba Satellite M100 - 164 (PSMA0E) which used it for 2-3 years.

  I formatted. Year last to install Windows Vista. But, unfortunately, I also deleted the partition hidden for this upgrade. In addition, as you can guess, I didn't create the recovery media, before my formatting. She started to say that she's not happy with the system and asked me to convert it to its previous state.

  In the forum, I saw that the user {color: #ff0000} * ["locojava" asked a question on a driver he was looking for his PSMA0E | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=199573#199573] * {color}. I wanted to respond to the thread, but it was locked.

  So, I would be grateful, if "locojava" or any what M100-164 of the users who have the recovery media would contact me in order to find a solution. I want to do a clean install to make her happy with the laptop to factory settings. I can also buy the CD to chip away at to fix the problem.

  Thank you.

• Satellite M100-164 button special support under Vista

  Hello

  I am a happy Satellite M100-164 (M100 (PSMA0) owner and I recently changed the old Windows XP mode with windows Vista (32 bit). Almost everything works perfect... except 6 multimedia keys ;) I downloaded the [last drivers "Support Button" | http://se.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?LNG=26&service=SE&selC fulltext = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 161 & selProduct = 633 & selShortMod = 461 & language = 13 & selOS = 26 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & count ry = all & selectedLanguage = 13 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 5636 6 & DISO = 26 & driverLanguage = 42] but I am obviously missing something because I can't make the buttons work :)

  The only description for divers is:

  Allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings.

  And it's inside the packaging - http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=01wk9.jpg

  When I run the exe, I get this - http://img80.imageshack.us/my.php?image=02ve5.jpg

  My best guess is that I need to put the files somewhere, but currently my crystal ball does not work :)

  Any ideas? Anyone?

  Maybe the drivers and in particular tools and utilities installed in the order of poor facilities. I have installed Vista on old WXP preinstalled A100 using this command of facilities:

• You can install satellite M100-164 - what hard drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M100-164... This is a version of Middle East the M100, almost identical to the European version, as far as I can tell.
  (short only model no psma0e)

  I want to install a new hard drive. The specification says he uses a 5400 RPM Serial - ATA hard disk.

  I can use any hard disk of this type, or are there other things to monitor (for example depth of drive, the pin configuration?)

  for example can I use this drive:
  "Toshiba MK2555GSX 250 GB 2.5 SATA HARD drive internal
  [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-MK2555GSX-250GB-2-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B002752SLU]

  ... or I should he play safe and use one that explicitly says its for the M100, for example this one on Ebay:
  "250 GB hard drive Toshiba Satellite L35-L45 M100, M105"
  [http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250Gb-Hard-Drive-Toshiba-Satellite-L35-L45-M100-M105_W0QQitemZ190276248831QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Co mputing_HardDrives_RL]

  Thank you

  Hello!

  On the SATA drives, there is no capacity limit and you have on each HARD disk the same pinout. This means that you can use each SATA HDD you want and also SATA2 hard drives because they downgrade compaitible then standard SATA1.

  However, you can buy the cheaper version on Amazon. This HARD drive should work as well in Notepad.

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite M100-164 - how to get the recovery disk?

  Hi, I have a used Satellite M100-164. (short only model no psma0e)

  Its a M100 changed for the Middle East market as well far as I can tell its basically the same as the European models of M100, except with a smaller hard drive.

  I bought it in a store of play (Computer Exchange in London), but it did not come with a recovery disk.

  Also, I was a little too active pro removing unwanted software of the machine, so I have not installed the Toshiba tools that would be able to create a recovery disk.

  Now I need one because I want to install a bigger hard drive and then re - build the operating system (which is XP)

  * So my question is, where and how do I get a recovery for this notebook drive? *

  I tried to use https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu, but it did not work because the serial number was not recognized (probably because it is a region of the Middle East series no)

  is there another way to get the Toshiba recovery disks? I'm happy to pay a little for one.

  Hello

  In most cases it is possible to get the EPA recovery disc in your country.
  But this is not always possible if the laptop model is too old or abandoned.

  Therefore, get in touch with the ASP guy and ask for more details.
  Maybe you are a lucky man and could get this disc.

  If you will not get this disc, you will need to install the OS by using the MS XP disk.
  Pilots must be placed on the page of Toshiba Europe!

  See you soon

• Satellite A100-233 against Satellite M100-164

  Hello! I am considering buying a Satellite A100-233 or M100-164. I was looking on the specifications for each, and I found that they are very similar (almost identical except for the size of the screen). However, I see that the M100-164 Toshiba Enhanced SpeedStep (referred to under "special functions"), but nothing on Toshiba Enhanced SpeedStep is mentioned for the A100-233. Does this mean that the A100-233 does not Toshiba Enhanced SpeedStep? If so, it means that the laptop A100-233 runs always full speed / full capabilites and never in a 'power saving' mode when idle? It has nothing similar to SpeedStep in there?

  Except for this detail, is there a reason why the M100-164 is better than the A100-233? I'm tempted to go for the A100-233, because it has a bigger screen, but if anyone could report a valid reason why the M100-164 is better, then I might change my mind.

  I'd appreciate really any info on the subject. Thank you!

  Hello

  It depends on the CPU if the device supports a SpeedStep® technology.
  A100-233 supports Intel Core Duo (Yonah) T2300 1.66GHz
  M100-164 supports Intel Core Duo (Yonah) or Intel-Pentium-M (Yonah) T2300 1.66GHz

  I think that the Intel-Pentium-M supports SpeedStep® technology.
  In addition, Toshiba's energy saver has been preinstalled on two laptops.
  This utility controls the use of the processor, cooling module and other features

• Need to drive recovery Express Media Player for Satellite M100-164

  Hello

  Cou1d - what someone so kind and post the link for the download of recovery disk for Toshiba M100 - 52, 179, 180 EMP,... or send it by email (I have a very fast connection in my work). I would try to install it on my M100-164. You can find my email in my profile. I will post the result, if it works.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Kavo,

  The recovery discs are unfortunately not available for download. They can only be purchased through an authorized Service partner. In my view, that it is a condition of the agreement with Microsoft OEM license.

• Blue flashing light

  I know that a flashing green light tells me what an e-mail among other things. Now, since the update OS 4.0.3 I get a blue light flashing in more green light (not at the same time.) I don't know what it means that blue light flashes.

  So far, I've seen two colored flashing lights. Green is random notifications (email, game apps) I only saw blue when it notified facebook (comments as far as I know)

• TouchSmart IQ846t all-in-One: TouchSmart IQ846t: makes 3 little beeps & a blue flashing light on average low right?

  I heard 3 beeps little while watching the 3 small flashing blue lights on the lower side right of the computer where it bears the name of HP TouchSmart.  He's trying to tell me something, if so, what?

  Thanks for any help.

  Thank you for the information.  Turning on my computer this morning, I received a message asking permission to remove some malware, permission was granted.  I did have more beep sounds or flashing lights so hope it was my problem.  I have printed information and record.  In case the problem should recur, I'll do the self-test memory.

  Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

• Re: Satellite M100: BSOD at each start of the first up - but ok after that

  I have a weird problem. Recently, I bought a laptop series M100 in Thailand - he has worked there. Brought to the United Kingdom and since then now on a startup cold upward, I get a blue screen every time, and after that one or 2 other blue screens - ACPI.sys error for example.

  After that it starts (when I use last good configuration XP SP2) and I can't restart/powerdown as much as I like. If I leave the laptop for an hour to cool, I get the blue screen issue again.

  No idea what could cause this problem - could it be specific temperature?
  The Bangkok airport x-ray machine would not cause a problem?

  Has anyone seen this kind of things before?

  Any help, very grateful.
  Shaun

  Don t think it has something to do with the temperature inside the laptop. I would exclude the overheating problem, but you can always try to clean the fans to make sure that the computer laptop parts can properly cooled.

  A BSOD usually appears for different reasons. Hardware and a software problem might be responsible for these BSOD error messages.
  A new installation of clean operating system isn't a bad idea.
  But as I said above the hardware problem may be possible. I think of the memory and HARD drive failure

• Satellite C855 - 21Q does not start - BIOS flash failed

  Hello.

  I'm french, sorry if my English is bad.

  I updated the Bios of a Toshiba C855 - 21Q. But during the flash, mobile restarts.

  Now, the computer will not boot (black screen + power on wifi led flashes).

  I'll try the recovery mode.

  I extracted the exe file. Rename the FD PLCSF8. EDM
  Copy to the root of the USB stick (256 MB FAT16).

  Can I plug it into the laptop with AC, HDD, unplug. Just the USB STICK.
  Plug the AC, hold + B key and start the computer.

  But nothing happens. The USB is not read (no Flash)...
  I also tried with the other key like Fn + F / Fn + B / Fn + Esc... still nothing.

  What are the keys to start the recovery.
  The process is correct?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you need special BIOS version to be able to Flash the BIOS to USB flash memory.

  The fact is that you could download only the version of the BIOS Win-based driver Toshiba UE page and requires this version of BIOS preinstalled system.

  In your case, it seems that something was wrong during the process of updating the BIOS and the EPROM module was not properly flashed. To resolve this problem, the EPROM module must be flashed once more use special disc of crisis of the BIOS.

  To my knowledge, this can be done by Toshiba approved maintainer.

  However, I have also read in this forum that only users managed reflash the BIOS with Bios Phoenix crisis recovery tool. Not very well where you can find these software but recommend to google.

• Re: Satellite U200-111 won't start and flashes the amber light DC-IN

  Hello!

  My wan't to the computer to start and the amber DC-IN led blink 2 times, pause, 3 times, pause, break, 2 times, 1 time...
  I think it means the error code 2321. Can someone give me a list of fault codes?
  Where can I find a manual for this computer repair?

  Thank you and best regards

  Sorry, but these codes are not available on the Toshiba pages
  I think that only the authorized service partner may be able to help.

  A few words about this issue;
  Still the blink code means that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard. Motherboard problems are still serious issues and in my opinion should always be checked by an expert.

  Also I doubt you're reading this correctly as a blink code provides still a 1 or a 0. Short means 0 and 1 long. Finally, copy the following code must be set to hexadecimal.

  In order to cut short this long history; you need a technician in ASP.

• Satellite M100-152 does not start

  Title says it all.
  When I'm back from the IGC-pause the screen was empty but of cold cathode (backlight) have been turned on yet.
  Fact a reboot by turning the PHONE works but the screen remains dark with cold cathodes offshore.

  Hard drive starts spinning so the cd rom (with disc inserted i.e.) but nothing happens otherwise.
  The only thing is that cell phone ring 4 times.

  Cannot change the boot sequence / device
  Don't start with the restore cd.

  Any suggestions / ideas what could be wrong?

  > The only thing is that cell phone ring 4 times.
  Looks a bit like a hardware problem. Usually, if the laptop will beep then an error has been detected on the Board!

  Seems that the portable technician should take a look at this machine.

  But have you tried to remove the battery and the AC adapter from the laptop for a while?
  Please check if this help

• Satellite L500-164 does not start sometimes

  Heyas!

  For most laptop does not start on the first attempt. The Power LED lights up, the cooler and the HARD drive start (it looks that they rotate exactly once) and that's it. After a few seconds the laptop turns off again. There is no screen and the LED on the HARD drive also not would light up. If that happens, I start the laptop again and again. In most cases I need to start 2 - 3 times, but once I had to start 20 times until it worked.

  I also tried to start just with the power supply (I hope that's the right word for it, I'm German = D) and took the battery out of it, but the result was the same.

  But when the laptop finally started, it works without problem.

  Greetings,
  Daniel

  It is not easy to say what the problem is but it certainly is hardware related issue and your laptop must be verified by the authorized service partner Toshiba. With the help of diagnostic tools that they can find out why this happens.

  Here in this virtual world we can only speculate on the possible reasons.

  Hello

  You have removed the battery but wait you a bit?
