• On Satellite Pro A100 BIOS password

  I have the Satellite Pro A100-PSAACE since 06

  On 08 February he made that it self a BIOSpassword and when I went to Toshiba they me charge about $ 100 to reset but it is November again and they reset it without charge.

  They told me to do a BIOS password, so he can't make a password that it self but today I left it open, and as usual he go to Hibernate it self but when I turned on it asks for a password. I entered the password. I know, but it's not accept it!

  I don t know where the problem is.
  Can an authorized here tell me how to fix or what the problem?

  Thnx

  Hello

  > Can someone with authority here tell me how to solve or where is the problem?
  Don t understand what you mean by authorized. Here, you will meet common Toshiba users like me and you, and not just any ASP guy!
  If you need to remove the BIOS password that I recommend you contact the ASP guys one more time and to clarify this issue.
  Perhaps the BIOS should be updated after removing the BIOS password again.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100 power problems

  Help, please. I have a laptop A100 pro. When I press the power on button the battery flashing orange. And after about 5 seconds, the light goes dead again. No other light is on. What can be the reason for this?

  Hello

  You you connected the power adapter the laptop while trying to start the machine?
  Make sure that the battery is full don't pay?

  Usually the battery led flashes orange due to the low battery power

  Maybe you should leave the laptop connected to the power adapter for a long period to ensure that the battery is fully charged.

• Satellite Pro L300 - BIOS problems

  I know how to use bios and there are some values that I need to change in the bios, but no matter what I press, I can't get into the bios. The computer itself has no problem of thin loads just can't bring up Bios no matter what I press. Its makes me mental.

  I tried the follow

  F1
  F2
  ESC
  Delete

  All at different times, or at different times. Is there a background mix that I push?

  Press F2 when you see the Toshiba Slashscreen.

  If you stop in suspension or Hibernation Mode, you can not enter the BIOS. Ensure you Windows shuts down completely.

  You can also change the settings of the BIOS Toshiba Assist or HWSetup.

• Satellite Pro A100 and load problems

  Hello everyone. New Member here.

  Got a huge problem with my laptop. I have a satellite pro A100-830. Part number: PSAACE-00W002EN. About 2 years ago

  I can run on the current system. But it will not work on battery. I just bought a new battery and it shows on the computer.
  I get indications are:

  battery charge amber lit.
  Light on power
  Power meter indicates the battery charge. I connected new battery and it shows 47% and now 3 hours later its still 47%
  If I unplug the power to the computer shuts down and will not work on battery.

  the AC light seems to be slightly duller than the one next to him, if that makes sense.

  Ive tried updating the BIOS etc but I'm ideas if im honest as im not a computer pro. I searched the internet but I can't find an answer

  Huge thanks in advance

  Stand by.
  We need more explanation here.

  You have the same problem with the battery and you have bought one new in the hope that everything will be OK?
  Have you noticed the same problem with the battery?
  You bought original Toshiba battery?

  In my view BIOS update won't help you much. I think electronic power is responsible for this BIOS update ahs no influence on this.

• Satellite Pro A100-830 with 4 GB of memory but the BIOS tells me that I have only 3 GB

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-830 and I bought the maximum memory for what is 2x2gb, for a total of 4 GB in my world. When I put the DIMMs in themselves in a slot, the BIOS reports 2 GB. BIOS Bravo! When I put both together, I see only 3 GB in the bios!

  I found this link on the Crucial site. http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.asp?QID=4251

  Suggest page files, peripherals etc. occupy memory on your system at startup, before the operating system is used I guess. If you do not have the maximum memory installed, you should see the total memory. If you got the maximum memory installed, you will not see the memory used by page etc. files. Why would it be? Why you would see 2 GB if you have only 2 GB but then see 3 GB if you have 4 GB due to the system!

  Anyone can shed some light on this subject and be eligible or reject the information in this link. I need to replace the memory and/or the pc?

  Thank you

  Mark

  This is not a BIOS problem but a Windows.
  I found this info:
  Windows XP Professional 32-bit is limited to 4 GB of address space. If you have 4 GB of RAM installed, it won't show 4 GB in Windows. You will probably get what the size of your pagefile subtracted the 4 GB.

  Some of this address space is reserved for the hardware and the operating system... so you will never have access to the 4 GB maximum in any case. If you want access to 4 GB of RAM +... your best solution is to pick up XP Pro 64 - bit... but this will only work if your CPU P4 has EMT64. (64-bit)
  You can also try to turn on DEP if it is not already enabled... This will also allow EAP that can give you access to all 4 GB

  So finally a response:
  > Do I need to replace the memory and/or the pc
  -> No, everything is ok... you need not to change the hardware

  I really would apreciate if someone can help me solve this issue.

  > During a game for half an hour, the screen darkens and a second view later, I get a blue screen.
  Well, my first thought is that this problem is related to the graphics driver.
  I mean it could be a software problem.
  But I know that a BSOD can also occur if the graphics card chip began to malfunction.
  In your case I m not sure what could cause this problem. But to play a game, that the GPU is running with a maximum yield and produce a lot of heat. If the temperature rises to a higher level the GPU can also cause a BSOD.

  Anyway, first of all, you must check if the graphics card driver update could solve this problem.
  Maybe you could use a driver from other websites but please note that this is ONLY possible at your peril!

• Satellite Pro A100: Trojan warning message during the windows BIOS update

  Trying to update my Bios through windows, my anti virus (f-secure) has a crush on decompressing the zip file a warning.

  The warning pointed out that the folder contained a Trojan horse and that he had been cleared to protect my computer.
  A warning from microsoft also said that access to these files had been blocked to protect your system.

  Is it possible that this update, downloaded from Toshiba really contain malware or could there be another reason for this event?

  Advice for help would be appreciated

  Hi james

  Don't you panic! You BIOS are not affected by Trojans, Malware or viruses.
  For the most part these BIOS files are not known for anti-virus applications and, consequently, anti virus software reports and notifies a virus.

  Before you start the update of the BIOS, you must disable automatic virus protection!

• Strange problem with RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 (not sure which...)
  It came with 2x256mb RAM, which are mounted. I noticed my laptop slow, so I checked what he says on the properties of the workstation - who said RAM 192Mo...

  Any idea what's going on?
  I had a peek inside, both are mounted securely, while the right push entirely? There is a small gap (about 1 / 2mm) so that is the little nick and real editing. -What is the cause? Or it's maybe faulty?

  Please help me!
  Thanks in advance,

  Diana

  According to the description of your problem, I guess one of the memory modules is not recognized by the system and the specified result 192 MB of Ram only tell me that your laptop has shared graphics memory card.

  Satellite Pro A100 is fairly new to laptop and, in my opinion, you should contact service. The guarantee must be valid and if everything is defective it will be replaced free of charge.

  If possible, tell us what Satellite Pro, you have exactly. This info you can find on the lower side of your laptop.

• S-video on Satellite Pro A100 problem

  Hi, I recently bought a new satellite pro a100 with XP pre-installed-one of my main reasons to choose this as the price was the built-in s-video connector so I can get my screen up on my tv. However, I have not yet got it working and you'd be grateful for all the assistance.

  It is connected to my TV via a s-video cable, connected to an s-video/SCART adapter to work. Nothing is display on the screen and in the ATI displays the setting, control panel is the only option that is imparted to me. The other 2, including television are grayed out.

  Maybe something needs to be configured, but I have not found information of any use yet.

  Thank you

  Marcus

  Hello

  As far as I know avoid any problems if you want to connect the laptop to the TV. After connecting, please use the FN + F5 key combination and get on TV.

  It can happen that picture will be black and white, but it is because S-video in on television port is not enabled.

• 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 press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!
  Close for any help.

  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 request BIOS password which was never put

  Hiya

  Have had my Satellite Pro A100 for almost 2 years and that all this time have never even heard of a password system, but all of a sudden, I turned on the laptop this morning and it does not load. I tried pressing F12 (can't remember why, it seemed the thing to do to read the instructions at the bottom of the screen), but nothing happened so I just turned off the power. Put on again, he asked the system password. (A black screen with a blue box, with the old text base BACK type fonts).

  I have no idea what it could be, I tried the word system and tried just pressing on enter without text in there but it says incorrect password. I removed the battery and left 10 hours but put it back in the machine there is no difference, it will not always go through this screen.

  I am the only user on this machine, have no idea what caused it. I am aware of security, have installed on complete McAfee AV and did not have anything odd happen at all. Didn't last changes made to the configuration, no new software etc. so I have no idea what prompted it.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thanks in advance
  Rachel

  This password seems to be a BIOS password, but I have no idea why this password is displayed if you have never defined it.
  Unfortunately, there is not a lot to see the BIOS password can be removed without the help of an ASP.

  Then, contact the service provider allowed in your country and request removal of the password.

  I also recommend updating the BIOS after the technician removed the password.

  Do you know how to find the ASP closest?

• Satellite Pro A100 with Modem USB internet connection problems

  Hi all

  I'm looking for some help with a problem. I am struggling to solve. I have a Satellite Pro A100 and sometimes use it with a speedtouch 330 what ASDL USB connected modem, but whenever I use this at some point that I seem to lose connectivity, the Explorer does not display the pages and other applications stop working, even if I do not seem physically the connection loose. It is often the only to get back on the net to restart and start over.

  The modem doesn't seem to be the problem as it works very well with my desktop and the laptop works very well when it is connected through wireless and idea and solution would be greatly appreciated.

  Sean the Bear

  Maybe you should take a look here in this thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=31982&TSTART=0

  There is a user who uses the same modem SpeedTouch 330 USB on laptop with Vista OS.

  You will need to install compatible drivers on the site of modem manufacturer.
