• Satellite Pro A100: XP says RAM 192Mo, utility Tosh says 256 MB

  My recent purchase of an A100 was supposed to be with 256 MB of RAM - but XP does not see. He sees only 192 MB. The utility Toshiba said that there is 256MB. How to get them to agree?

  Hello

  Some of the Satellite Pro A100 units were shipped with ATI RADEON Xpress 200 M graphics card shared memory.
  This graphics card uses part of the main memory.
  As Michael suggested the Toshiba utility shows the memory full value and XP only shows the difference.
  As far as I know, you can change the value in the properties of the graphics card.

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E - Win 8 upgrade questions

  I decided to update my old Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E-00700TTE Vista to Windows 8.

  After two tries he has been successful. Vista made me mad, and when I decided to give my son, I wanted to work better.

  Toshiba doesn't seem to be willing to support the old models. (over 3 years).

  I can not even find this model code in the lists, the site does not seem to recognize the serial number.

  This is why all the Windows 8 upgrade tools provided are not relevant.

  I met a few minor problems before, but the Toshiba Turkey never replied messages, even those concerning the new products when I considered buying a new laptop. In the end I went for an Asus, which exceeds my expectations.

  I don't expect all support this time either, because of past experience. But I still want to try one last time.

  Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

  Satellite Pro A300 is not that win 8 supported means that you will not find to win 8 drivers for this series, but of course, you can use Win 8 on this unit.

  In some cases, the municipality of Win 7 drivers would be compatible.

  Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) to win 8 can also be used, but we must look for a Win 8 VAP released for other more recent models.

  Touchpad driver can be downloaded from the page of the Synaptics driver also other drivers like LAN or WLan can be found on chip manufacturer pages.

• Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - Ram upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).

  I want to improve my system with 2x2gb DDR2 667 MHz Ram.
  When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  Or he will recognize less than 4 GB?

  Is there a link between the ram and 32 bit OS?
  What are your suggestions?

  Thank you.

  > When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
  > Or it will recognize less than 4 GB

  You use the 32-bit Windows System. This means that your Windows operating system can recognize 3.2 GB of RAM max. It's max possible RAM for 32-bit systems.

  But as far as I know that it takes in charge max 2 GB of RAM. Has been mentioned in the page manual user 22 and 33

• Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

  Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot.

I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!

  It's a scream! :_| : O

  This looks like a damage ROM module!
  How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

  I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

  I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

• Satellite Pro A100 will not start!

  Hello

  I am having trouble with a Tosh. Satellite Pro A100 (model: PSAACE).

  The laptop was acting kinda funny for the last week (turned off on its own, saying that it is running on battery when pluged) then today he has decided to power off on it's own and does not restart.

  Having checked it of get out the power supply, have tried with and without the etcetc... This battery with no luck...

  When I press the power button the only thing that happens is the symble of battery next to her light flashed orange 11 times (same lengtht flashed
  SS each time).

  Can anyone shed light on what is wrong with it? Or what this error on the battery light code is trying to say?

  See you soon

  Matt

  Hello

  > When I press the power button, the only thing that happens is light with the symbol of the pile beside it flashed orange 11 times (same length flashes each time).

  Hmm I think that it s a hardware problem. I would say that this s a motherboard problem.
  Is the motherboard provides and flashing, error code.
  This only happens if a serious hardware problem has been detected

  Unfortunately, only the ASP can read this code and may know what this code means but certainly must be a hardware problem.

  In this case an ASP is your last resort.

  Good luck

• Need best driver of ATI X 1600 for Satellite Pro A100-830

  Hey

  I use my Satellite Pro A100-830 (PSAACE-00W002EN) for the most part to play my games, but unfortunately I can't. It seems that Toshiba doesn't provide good enough graph-drivers because every time I play, for example: half-life 2, I get this error specefied: internal driver error in IDirect3ddevice9::present()

  I tried to reinstall my computer all with CD distribution which followed with my PC, but this work of t is not a long time. I also tried to download than the latest ATI drivers, but they can not be installed, nor OmegaDrivers (Installable but didn t work).
  I use Windows XP and I have all the updates of 'Windows Update'...
  Just when I reinstalled my computer, I downloaded all Windows, then the most recent BIOS updates, and after that, I deleted the ATI driver that was limited to the CD and installed the ATI driver 'later' of Toshibas own homepage.
  (Not only Steam-games doesn t work, almost none of my games...)

  Please help me on these "desperate times." Would be happy if you could write the answer directly to my email address:

  Hello

  To be honest, you are not alone in this and many laptop users want to have better performance and play the latest games which can be played with the latest and newest materials. If you have a portable way but want to have maximum on graphics performance.

  Sorry but I think you wait a little too long. We are talking not on desktop computers and notebooks. As a player, you understand without doubt that high-performance graphic has a result a lot of heat, and it can be very dangerous for the portable equipment (placed on the square). Using the most recent and better display drivers will require you probably to a graphics card to work under pressure but the result may be overheating or even damage the material.

  Be reasonable and understand that laptops have lower graphics performance and laptop manufacturer has only one priority: to protect the equipment. Because of this there not much updated graphics card drivers.

  I don't really know what games you try to play, but I tested my old M70 (also ATI) graphics card with several games (not later) and it runs good.

  Bye and good luck!

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
  So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

  To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

  As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

• Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

  I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

  I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

  Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

  This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
  Thank you!

  Hi magicmat,

  Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

  Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

  So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

• Satellite Pro A100: Upgrading RAM void my warranty?

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 today and, having only 256mbRAM I want to update my 512 RAM. If I discover the RAM slots and replace it, this will void my warranty?

  Thank you

  (NB several opinions would be appreciated)

  Hello

  You warranty still valid. You can upgrade the memory without any problems, but you must use the right modules and supported.
  As far as I know, these modules are compatible:
  DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
  1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

  But are you sure you want to upgrade the memory of 512 MB?
  AFAIK all already shipped with 512 MB.

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100-840

  The specification for the Satellite Pro A100 840 said that memory has a maximum of 4 GB of memory. But it does not seem to be all provided by Toshiba that allows me to level to 4 GB of memory. This current has the default 1gn that was shipped when ordered. Anyone know how to get the 1 GB to 4 GB?

  Thank you in advance for any help

  Hello

  I just wanted to check the specifications of the laptop but I was not able to find the Satellite Pro A100-840. Can you please check laptop model and send us the laptop model number.

  In any case I really don't understand what your problem. It seems that your model of laptop can handle with 4 GB RAM max. According to your assignment, your laptop comes with 1 GB of RAM.

  So if you want to use the maximum RAM on your laptop satellite, you must buy RAM 2 X 2 GB module. As far as I know, 2 GB RAM module are available and if you want to be sure of compatibility please check the Kingston products.

  Please check this Kingston Memory Configurator

• Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

  Hello.

  I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

  I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
  (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

  But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
  When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

  So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

  Thank you.

  The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
  So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

  I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

  You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

  Hello
  today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

  After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

  Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

  (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

  Hello

  What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
  As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

  It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
  I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

• Satellite Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

  Hi Toshiba,

  I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

  Someone can confirm or not?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
  Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

  But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works
