• Increases brightness screen Satellite P200-1EE

  Hello, I received by Satellite P200-1EE with Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Some time ago I found that the screen itself become very bright. Usually after one or two hours, sometimes faster after coming back from the screen saver. Yet it's brighter, then I can set up using windows options or functional keys, I see not too much on the screen then. What can cause this problem?

  I hope that there is no hardware problem. Help, please.

  Hello

  This means that the brightness of the display will change automatically?

  Well, it's really hard to say why this is happening. Normally, you set a certain point for the brightness of the screen in each power profile, for example, symmetrical or optimized battery.
  Check it!

  Also, make sure that all Windows updates are installed.
  In addition, I would recommend updating BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  Good bye

• Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) battery seems to flow quickly

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) and the battery seems to flow quickly.

  Anyone know of best set-up I use energy saving?

  Thank you

  What is for you sink quickly? An hour or maybe two?
  I have the Satellite P200D and if I use the laptop for writing and the Internet I can work for about 1 hour and 40 minutes. For me it's OK for this portable big with 17 inch screen.

  I don't know what you're doing with your laptop, but running on battery power, you can use standby power option but brightness set to the next level. The original is too low.

• Updated BIOS for Satellite P200 - 17 c fails to install

  Hello

  I hope someone can help...

  I downloaded the update to the latest bios available on the Toshiba site for model Satellite P200 Windows Vista 32bits version 17. (Upgrade v1.40)
  The following directory structure is created in the bios-20080630110240, containing files; the program installation and SRAA250a.rom.

  When I run the Setup, the zip file extract but then stops: "the size of the rom file is incorrect. Upgrading the bios fails to take effect? Any suggestions will be most useful.

  I install this update of the bios in the hope that it will heal a display problem that I am experiencing. After a period of use, the display suddenly goes bright and can only be reversed by restarting the laptop. If anyone out there has experienced this? I have already installed the latest graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon display drivers - 8.452.0.0

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  Try to extract all the files from zip archive before you start the update.
  I've updated the BIOS, but I extract all the first and I put t have problems.

• Satellite P200-RT1 - FN keys do not work after downgrade to XP

  Hello
  I have a Satellite P200-tn1, PSPBOC.
  I lowered my operating system from Vista to XP.

  Now, I have a driver problem, I installed all the drivers for my computer. I installed all the HotKey utility for my computer as well and I have a question. Some of my FN key functions do not work. The ESC to F5 functions work, but all the functions above are not.
  I'm really looking for the brightness of the display and dimmers keys F6 & F7 to work, if possible, I would also like the button toggle F9 key to work as well, which, from this moment, they do not.

  I was wondering if there is a driver I'm missing and if the driver is there. I took my computer in three computer stores now and no one can understand this. Please help me!

  Thanks Ken.

  Hello

  It seems that your laptop is a Canadian model and as a result, you can download the drivers on Toshiba Canada website:
  http://www.Toshiba.ca

  The problem is that I can't find Windows XP drivers on this Web site. :(
  The only way I know, is that you try the drivers and utility on the European site. Normally, the models are very similar and maybe it works. It s worth a try.

• Satellite P200-199 - Win XP: does not work Fn + F5... Keys Fn + F9

  I had to install Windows XP on Satellite P200-199. After installation, Toshiba Hotkey Utility consists only of keys Fn + F3 and Fn + F4 and I can't change the brightness of the screen. How can I solve this problem? All programs and drivers XP downloaded from the website of Toshiba and installed correctly. BIOS version is the last (1.7.0). I can't work under Vista, and I choose Toshiba only for possibility of installation of XP :). If there is a way to change the brightness of the screen without hardware key (i.e. through a program or applet control), it is acceptable too.

  Thank you.

  P.S. On the Toshiba site, there is no version of Toshiba power saver utility for XP (for Satellite P200), but I try to install 7.08.05 version - there doesn't work (CANNOT be opened because you do NOT have right to "TOSHIBA Power Saver"). I have administrator rights (Administrator installation).

  Hello

  Have you installed all the drivers in the correct order?
  Installation file instruction txt on the Toshiba page shows you the step by step guide line that the order of installation is necessary!

  With regard to the issue of keys FN;
  To my knowledge, the update of the BIOS is necessary. BIOS 1.7 - winner is not designed specifically for the XP operating system and therefore, it may happen that after the installation of the operating system XP, some functions don't work properly!
  Unfortunately, I didn't find another version of BIOS for the P200-199 PSPB0E series.

  See user's last message * vjkostas *.

  Concerning the issue of energy saving;
  The bomber screensaver utility and the Poser saver driver are available on page. I think first of all the pilot, and after restarting again the standby electricity utility must be installed.
  But take a look at the installation instructions.

• Satellite P200: Keys Fn and message Bluetooth Vista

  I just installed the drivers updated for my Satellite P200, and now the Fn keys do not work for the brightness of the screen, etc.
  Also, I get a message when I boot not being able to turn on the Bluetooth module (because the switch located on the front is off).

  I have the Value pack installed (re-installed), but even now, keys Fn, can still tell me what I need drivers or something?

  And also how to get rid of the message Bluetooth (but still have the screen in the status bar!)

  Thank you

  Well, my Fn keys are back. I'm sure it wasn't to uninstall then reinstall the value pack, so I think it might have been reinstalling the flash utility cards.
  By the way, when they were not working, I noticed very oddly that F1 - F8 would not work, but F9 (disable the touchpad) would be!

  I got rid of the bluetooth message uninstalling Bluetooth Monitor 3. That means actually I don't know, because I always have the bluetooth icon in my tray, because it belongs to Bluetooth + Manager + - confusing!

• Satellite P200-1EE - Vista stuck on the homepage

  Hello

  * My Satellite P200-1EE is stuck on the progress bar Windows Vista since yesterday morning * and I'm unable to contact my office.

  I tried several solutions using the F8 key at startup.

  1 / safe mode

  2 / startup repair. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.

  3 / the system restore. "No restore point.

  4 / windows complete PC Restore. "No restore point.

  5 / Windows memory diagnostic tool. It is said that there is no problem of memory.

  So I am only left with the options of 'Restore the full Windows operating system' and the 'command prompt '.

  But I'm not too sure of the latter option. That's where I need your advice.

  * If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? * I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

  Obviously, * I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff D or E.*
  Could you advise me on the best option?

  Thank you

  Paul

  > If I go for complete Windows restore, the entire hard drive fade or just the partition where I have windows (for example, "C:")? I have several years of family photos on another partition (D or E) that I would not lose enough.

  Depends on the disc that you would use if you want to use the Toshiba recovery disc, then the whole HARD disk would be formatted, including all partitions on the HARD drive.
  If you want to use the disk in Microsoft Windows Vista, you can choose which partition has been formatted and where the Vista must be installed.

  > Clearly, I do not lose data or software on C:, but not personal stuff on D or E.
  > Could you advise me on the best option?

  If you n t want to lose the data stored on the D partition and if you don t have a disc of Microsoft Vista, install the OS of Visa then I would recommend, remove the laptop HARD drive. Then plug the 2.5 SATA HDD with a USB-SATA controller then this HARD drive to another computer.
  Usually, you should be able to access the D partition and would be able to move all the data to another computer.

• HARD drive and memory upgrade on the Satellite P200 - 17 c

  Hello

  I own Satellite P200 17 c. My current memory is DDR2 PC2-5300 2 GB. I would like to upgrade to DDR2 PC2 - 6400 4 GB of ram. I can do and it's going to be some speed improvements, if I update to PC2-6400 PC2-5300 instead?

  I have 2 hard drives on my P200 17 c. 2 x 100 GB. I want to upgrade one of these two HD ranging from 100 GB to 320 GB 5400 RPM. can I do this? and it'll be a difference if I update with HD who has 7200 RPM?

  Thank you

  First of all: your machine is able to handle a maximum capacity of 4 GB RAM, but please be aware that you won´t be able to use all of the 4 GB due to some limitations of the chipset that are explained in the following article: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  Regarding the speed of module: chipset specifications are defined for PC5300, so it will not improve your speed when you install faster modules.

  If you want to upgrade your hard drive then do as you like, because it shouldn´t be any restrictions, you can install a drive with 7200 RPM with a slower.

  The only difference will be that the faster drive faster. The performance of the entire system would increase only when you´re install your operating system on the disk more fast (which is the recommendation of my side :))

• Satellite P200 - 123 No Post, but still the boots

  Hello

  Have a strange, my old Satellite P200-123 worked extremely hot (70 inactive more than 100 of the load) 2 years so he disassembled and replaced the thermal grease, fans and cleaned. Standard maintenance went well, (apart from the microphone plug disintegrate at the start, but I use headphones so not really a problem).

  First boot after the interview I noticed that the screen does not display anything until windows log in screen, no toshiba screen, no post messages, etc. At first, I thought it may have lack of an external port (VGA or HDMI) however I tried to connect to an external device and he still refuses to show anything until the windows log on screen.

  I stripped and repaired hundreds of laptops (it's my job) but never encountered this in 15 years of maintenance and repairs PC and laptop. System running Windows 7 (not like it should make a difference) and the used thermal grease was the new Artic MX-3 and served on the GPU, the CPU and the Northbridge (and before someone says you must use the compound of unfounded pressure of toshiba ceramics, stuff I've used here are better for this the toshiba recommended stuff, believe me). The system works well (now idling at 39 and 65 at full load), I guess that's not much of a problem, unless I need to reinstall or restore my machine for some reason, all the world has an idea on how to fix this?

  Very interesting, Jaster! :)

  Thanks for sharing this information with us!

• Can I build at the second disk on Satellite P200-1I4?

  Hello!

  Before all sorry for my bad English. =((

  I have a toshiba SATELLITE P200-1I4 and the question is: can I install a HDD (additional) more. Or there is only one SATA slot in this laptop? Unfortunately for laptop is not close to me now, and I can't remove the back panel and see.
  On the web site of Toshiba, I can't find any information about it.

  More information:
  SATELLITE P200-1I4
  S/N: z7269306k - M/n: PSPB3E-0J601MRU

  Thanks, and I hope that all written above is understandable. =)

  Best thing you can do is to remove the cover for the second HARD drive and see if the HARD drive connector is available.
  If this is not the case, there is no possibility to upgrade the HARD drive.

  Maybe someone on this forum has the same laptop model and can check for you.

• Installation of WXP Pro on Satellite P200

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite P200 today and I want to remove the Vista Home Premium and install a WXP Pro, but I can't do it. There the chipset is Intel GM965 Express. I have compiled a DVD with files for the above mentioned chipset inf, but I have problems, if she sees HARD drive as 110 MB instead of 250 GB. I would really appreciate it if you would tell me step by step what to do to be able to install XP Pro. Thank you very much.

  PS: Sorry if I misplaced this thread

  do not take account of my thread... + solved the problem myself. drives the way I solved the problem is using a recompiled Windows xp pro with an ich + inf for intel. ;)

• Satellite P200-1 b 6: Sound Driver update fails, and HD-DVD player does not work

  I just bought a laptop Satellite P200-1 b 6 and spent the day installing the updates recommended by the TEMPO programme. One of them was an update of RealTek audio driver but on run this it fails at about 80% of the way through with an error: "install Realtek HD Audio Driver failure!

  Now, the reader of HD DVD, Toshiba will fail with an error "unable to output the video to an external device.

  Please change your display keys of the device by pressing the Fn + F5 after the end of the application "." I tried this but it seems to have no effect.

  I'm now regretting starting to update the drivers installed. Should I try to rebuild the machine using the recovery discs or is there another solution that someone found? Or if others have found the upgrade work?

  All advice welcome

  Hello

  When I started using PC, one of my friends told me something: do not touch the well-executed system. I know that you, like so many other people out there, have updated things but as you can see, it can go in the wrong direction.

  This TEMPO software is good, but if all goes well the leave it as it is. What you can try is to use the System Restore tool and move the BONES to earlier time and hope everything will be OK again.

  Please post the result.

• Satellite P200 - minimizing on its own screens

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop Satellite P200 - 1 K 8. I'm having a problem with the screen pages minimize while I'm surfing the net / opening files, etc at random times?
  It's pretty frustrating - and I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or the laptop itself?

  Someone at - it experience of this or had the same problem?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help with my question!

  Jay

  Check the touch pad settings, go to control panel, Classic view - mouse, then player settings and click settings for the touchpad. Then go to the box 'type' and disable tapping.
  "tapping" allows you to activate the touchpad to do different things when you tap the corners.

  (at least it worked for me on a P200-1EE)
