Satellite M200 - Windows Explorer; alleged motherboard failure

My Satellite M200 works on 32 bit; The OP is Vista Home Basic.

For the last two months I had messages that windows Explorer has stopped working... windows explore restarts etc.
After efforts to find a solution, I took my laptop to a local technician, to find a solution to the problem and to upgrade RAM. The problem continued, and he advised that the motherboard is faulty.

The intention had been to reformat computer technology however, or I can get to the startup section; Windows itself continues to operate.
RAM has been successfully extended to 2g. My computer tech had tried to upgrade to 4g even if the laptop is only 32-bit - to my knowledge capable of only 2g of RAM.
He said he changed the BIOS according to the instructions of Toshiba to try installing 4 g; but only 2g works.

I also tried to install Nero9, supposed to be compatible with Vista. On the first attempt, 4 hours later only 9% had installed; When subsequent attempts after 45 minutes, only 6%.
This program has been installed successfully on computers running XP.
I tried to send this message before, but he did not appear on the forum. My apologies if you are reading this (abridged version) version for yet another time.

Hi mate

The use of 4 GB depends on three factors; Operating system, Chipset and BIOS.
All these parts must support the 4 GB if you want to use.

The 32-bit Windows OS (no matter if it s Win XP or Vista) would recognize only 3.2 GB.
So, even you would have a BIOS and capable chipset, the OS appear only 3.2 GB if it s 32-bit.

I put t know what chipset using your laptop but if it s one of the Intel chipsets then all the details can be found on the Intel page. There you can check if your chipset would support 4 GB of RAM or not.

  • How to make a partition in Windows Vista (Satellite M200)

    Hi guys,.
    I * Toshiba Satellite M200 laptop *.
    When I formatted my hard drive and try to re - install Windows vista by using the recovery disk.
    I don't get how to do the partition on it.
    If I followed the process right in front there is a single drive (C:\) I found at the end of the whole process.
    I tried several times but could not get the solution for it.

    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    You can create partitions with Windows Vista Disk Manager.
    It s not able to partition with the recovery disk, but you can do it with the Vista tool easy enough.

    Make a right click on my computer => manage-online Storage-online disk management
    Then, you can create partitions how do you.

  • Satellite Pro A100-622 can not read the card SD and Memory Stick with Windows Explorer

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 running MS Vista Home Basic Edition. I tried to use the card reader integrated with SD and Memory Stick card but cannot view the contents using Windows Explorer.

    In both cases, the laptop recognizes the card and try to install new hardware. Unable to do so, he asks the drive of the software provided with the cards. Any software not provided with a card and I cannot find drivers to make the drive work.

    The only application that I can find on the laptop that is associated with the player is a module of SD formatting, but I don't want to format the card (s) I want to just read the current content of them and add files.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can download the drivers (and especially in your case for the sd-card-reader) here:

    http://PC-support.Toshiba-Europe.com/Vista/

    and here

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    So the other point is the service of the SD card must be enabled in the start menu-> Control Panel (change to Classic view)-> Administration-> Services-> Chip card (at this point, you must activate the service and configure it to start at windows startup).

    If you have any other questions, just ask. ;)

    Yes, easy to replace the HARD drive.
    It takes a HARD drive 2.5 SATA for this laptop.

    But I recommend that you check the first HARD disk using a tool called Drive Fitness Test... Use google to get this software

    Here are a few examples how to replace the HARD drive on the different laptop models:

  • Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer not responding

    At random times (normally when I wake the PC) and I click on the volume control in the taskbar, nothing appears.
    Then I'll go to move the physical volume control cursor and nothing will happen.

    However, at this time, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing so, volume control isn't even on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer crashes once more.

    I have Vista and its a Satellite A200-TH7.

    I have the volume on mute so I literally can't hear anything now.
    If I restart the computer, it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

    Hello

    In my view, this has nothing to do with the volume control on the task bar.
    In my opinion, there is a problem with the Explorer of Windows Vista.

    Usually, you can enable and disable the mute settings in Control Panel-> Sound-> reading tab.

    You are able to reach these settings?

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hello

    You see the DVD drive in Device Manager and you then yellow exclamation points?
    Maybe you should just remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the laptop. Select the drive in the Device Manager, right-click on it and choose uninstall. Then, restart the laptop.

    If it doesn't work try the workaround posted by Akuma to remove upper and lower filters.

  • Toshiba controls freezes Windows Explorer on Satellite L350D

    Hey guys, my Toshiba controls (Mute, play, stop, next and forward) buttons literally freezes Windows Explorer. I'm not 100% sure if there is a driver that comes pre-installed, but if there is then could someone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?

    Also, if it helps I have my folder 'TOSAPINS' containing all the programs that came pre-installed with my laptop.

    Thank you for your support.

    Hello

    Do you mean that your internet explore crashes by pressing control buttons Toshiba?
    That s strange.

    Never heard talk about this issue, but as you know nothing is impossible using the Windows OS ;)

    However, I recommend the update of the OS and the cleaning of the operating system using CCLeaner (free software).
    In addition, you could reinstall the package of value added because this package contains applications that control buttons of Toshiba.

  • Satellite M200 screen turns off after that start & battery does not charge

    Hello, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia
    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook (running Windows 7 Home Premium)

    After I press the power button to the top of my laptop, it works fine display BIOS and Windows startup screen.
    but after that my monitor off all of a sudden when Windows is supposed to show the login screen.

    Sometimes, the monitor doesn't turn off, but shows a lower resolution (I don't know exactly what resolution, 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, i use maybe 1280 x 800)
    so the only thing I can do is, press the power button to stop bad then press power again turns on, my monitor works normally
    try to stop and then turn on again in a few hours later, problems still comes once.

    from the moment where I install Windows 7, I use 8.15.10.1930 version of the driver (downloaded from Download Center of Intel, which included Assistant TV Intel)
    2 days ago, my friend told me that I should install the driver from the Toshiba site support, so I went to csd.toshiba.com and download the 8.15.10.1825 version of this site (which is not included Assistant TV Intel)

    my monitor works normally after I installed the driver I of csd.toshiba.com, so I think that the problem because the Intel TV Wizard somehow messed with my laptop. But this morning this problem once again, my turns just monitor suddenly...

    In addition, this problem seems to be my battery was unable to recharge, my completely reloaded Windows shows, but when I plugged my AC adapter,
    There are 15-20 minutes before my laptop turns off automatically

    Three months ago, I just brought my laptop to the local Service Center of Toshiba and bought the new motherboard to replace my old mobo (which have a VGA problem too!)
    Is there something I can do (related to Windows or driver/software) or I can bring my notebook at the center of service again?
    are they somehow an incorrect wiring when replacing my motherboard?
    and am I need to replace my battery too?

    I use this laptop for about a year and a half and there is nothing wrong with my battery before replacing the motherboard

    any help would be appreciated :D

    Hello

    Talk about your screen, the a graphics driver causes this malfunction with resolution and turn off. Go to the page of the toshiba driver and download the correct Vga driver for your model. I see, you are running Windows 7, if there is no driver for win7, try the vista driver.
    On your power supply, you have used for the year and a half and he is released in 20 minutes, there is nothing strange. It's standard for power supply operating period, need to be replaced. Just to be sure, you can check with a new battery. You will see that the trick works as expected.

  • Satellite M200 - has internal Bluetooth?

    The user guide says it must be installed on the motherboard by Bluetooth, but when I try to install the "battery Bluetooth for Windows by Toshiba" I am asked to install the Bluetooth device.
    Review of the Device Manager does not show Bluetooth devices, so my question is...

    The PSMC3A-06N008 Satellite M200 has the Bluetooth chipset on the motherboard?

    If so, it would look like mine is defective.

    Hey Buddy,

    It's not easy to say because it depends on your model of laptop and there are different models with different features on the market.
    I tried to check the specifications on the Australian site, but no results were found for your model :(

    Normally if your laptop is equipped with BT, you should find the [logo Bluetooth | http://www.thebikerstore.co.uk/product_images/n/033/Bluetooth_logo__70711_zoom.jpg] on the lower side of your laptop.

    My father has replaced the inverter to power in, but he did nothing

    Hi mate

    I don t recommend remove anything if you have no experience with these procedures.
    First of all it s not 100% sure what part is affected.
    Maybe it s a graphics chip

    So you need to connect the monitor of visa the laptop and need to check if the same is visible on the second monitor.
    If the same could not be visible on the external screen the problem must be related to the graphics chip.

    I have the satellite M200 and a few months ago my screen began to sweep to power on and off and then just go empty and if I closed the laptop for a few seconds and re open it back upward with the desktop display

    I still have some questions, and I still need help too though since my screen stopped working all together.
    However in the right light, I can still see the images, just.

    I plugged a monitor into the port on the side and it was working fine, through which until recently and now every monitor I plug usually work unless my laptop is in safe mode with network and even then it is all fuzzy and fragile

    Any help would be great thanks

    I hope I explained this problem with sufficient detail

    Hello

    To me, this looks like a graphics card problem.
    This would explain why the display on an external monitor is unstable and fuzzy

    This means that it is the worst case why? Because the chip graphic card cannot be replaced

  • Portege R700 with Windows 7 64-bit: Windows Explorer fails to update

    It happens regularly after using my laptop for a while (1 hour more?) that Windows Explorer is no longer refreshes one of its windows. EG., delete a file and it is always displayed and disappears only after pressing the refresh (F5) button.

    Anyone who has had this experience, knows the problem, may suggest a solution (with the exception of maintenance by pressing F5 and possibly restart in frustration, which helps during some time)?

    It's very strange. I tested it on my Win7 64 bit-Satellite P500. I ve open two windows explore with in the same place, so I got the same content in both entities. When I delete a file or folder in the left window the right showed immediately that certain document has disappeared.

    I m really surprised that describes the problem may occur.

  • Satellite L755 - Windows 7 loads OK but IE9 takes 15 minutes

    I have a L755 Satellite with Windows 7, IE 9 and Office Home 2010.
    When I boot windows 7 seems to load OK, the main problem is that IE9 takes an another 15mins to start after you click the icon.

    During this period of 15 minutes, I can use some programs such as word in a simple way, but if I try make a backup as it freezes. After 15 minutes, everything seems to work fine with the exception of the start menu which does not save the last used progs or I would like to highlight anything despite a reset.

    Any advice someone before I re - install Windows that I don't really want to do.

    You should see if ie9 starts ok if no add ons are loaded. Pull the top of the window "Run" by pressing the key "Windows" + R and entering this C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe [-extoff]. If it loads ok and then click the IE Tools menu select Manage Add ons and see what you can disable if IE loaded slowly then I would uninstall it.

  • Slow ethernet connection on Satellite M200-A411

    You just bought a new Satellite M200-A411. When I got home, I immediately plugged it directly to a DSL modem. And the speed was very slow. Normally with my old Pentium III desktop computer, I constantly receive 330 Kbps. On this laptop I was getting anywhere from 60 Kbps to 120 Kbps. Often, it will not even bring up Google. I thought at first it was just a hard working DSL connection.

    So I tried to plug it back on the desktop, and I get 330 Kbps, again and again. I tried to connect using WiFi... everything is quick and satisfactory. I'm pretty sure it s not a problem with the software and most probably it is with the Ethernet controller or the network card. I immediately went back to the store and got another unit. It was not much faster... maybe 150 Kbps. What's common with two Toshiba units is that they could hardly pull the top of the site initially. But as you insist, the speed would go further upward.

    Is there like a teething period or a break during the period for these Ethernet devices? There is no reason why I shouldn't receive 330 Kbps on the laptop. This batch of M200 would have bad Ethernet adapters? I love my Toshiba and I hope you could shed some light on this.

    Thank you and more power

    Hello

    One is clear; the data transmission depends on many and various factors.
    If the server doesn't allow that a higher speed than you will not get a faster data transmission.
    There are two sites; Server and client. Both must play together to get the best performance ;)

  • Satellite M200 - can I safely delete partition?

    I have a Satellite M200.
    It came with 3 partitions on the hard drive: a recovery partition 1.46 GB, NTFS Vista 142.51 partition and partition 5,07 GB hidden with God - knows - what.

    Can I safely remove the 5,07 GB partition?

    Hello

    I think that it is a Canadian cell phone model because I do not see this partition on European models for Toshiba laptop.

    However, it seems that you have found the answer to your question.
    It seems that the second hidden partition has been created to store the data of the second language, which is available on the portable Toshiba bilingual model, which comes preinstalled with two additional partitions that hold images of English and French language.

    I think you can remove this partition, if you have already chosen your preferred language.

    I also found this FAQ from Toshiba:
