Satellite Pro A100 - flashing light battery and no start

Hello

I was sitting watching a video with my daughter yesterday when five minutes in my Satellite Pro A100 suddenly stopped working - cut out completely and not be reactivated. When I tried to restart the orange lit battery eleven short blinks blinked, and nothing else has happened. The battery has been low for some time, so we always run the AC adapter. The adapter is currently connected, but there is no blue light charge as I expect.

With the battery removed do not get the flashes orange. With the battery and power adapter, I get the flashes orange.

I was wondering if the AC adapter was missing, and we do not have a "low battery" warning because we were watching a video. That would explain the lack of charge indicator. When we get the flashes orange, we get this from the small amount of residual charge of the battery.

Can anyone back this idea up - or anyone who can interpret the error code?

Thank you

Keith

Hey Buddy,

This means that you are able to start your computer or battery or AC/DC adapter only, good point?

Well, theoretically it might be possible that AC/DC adapter is defective.
When you try to start your laptop, nothing happens, right?

In the best case, you know a friend who has the same AC/DC adapter, so you can test if the AC adapter is defective or not. Otherwise a professional diagnosis of an ASP would be necessary.

  • Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

    Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

    Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

    Hello

    I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3E: after XP installation does not work

    Hello

    I recently bought a psaa3e Satellite Pro A100.
    I formatted and installed Win XP. Everything works except the sound.
    In Device Manager its shows a PCI device problem.

    I think I need the pci to install before my sound card is recognized.
    I could be wrong and often am installed all drivers I could find on this site for my laptop.
    Any suggestions please, its driving me crazy.

    The solution is simple.
    After installing Xp, you must install all the service packs. SP2 is important.
    In addition, you will need to upgrade the XP to the last State. All fixes and patches must be installed also.
    The * KB888111 * and * KB835221 hotfix * must be installed before installing the audio driver.

    After installing the hotfix, restart the computer, and then reinstall the audio driver!

  • 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.

  • Battery for Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 M50

    The battery in the laptop model was PA3399U-2BAS. A vendor has sent a substitute - his number is PA3399U-1BRS. He says he has 95% of its capacity, but when the power cord has been removed from the laptop is dead and will not re-start without plugging the cord back in.

    This battery would have an acceptable replacement? The laptop is running on its battery at reduced capacity and needs to be replaced.

    Any thoughts?

    Just for your info:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 specifications you can use batteries follow
    PA3399U-2BRS (6cell),
    PA3399U-2BAS (6cell),
    PA3478U-1BRS (9cell),
    PA3478U-1BAS (9cell),
    PA3400U-1BRS (12cell),
    PA3400U-1BAS (12cell).

    Start your laptop with AC supply and battery, put the battery and if the battery is correctly recognized remove power supply.

  • 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 PSAASE: error Power Saver and LAN? After downgrade to XP

    Hello
    I have a toshiba satellite pro A100-psaase!
    I could not find this model on the toshiba site, so I chose the A100-psaas software.

    The laptop came with windows vista. I have it downgraded to windows xp, has chosen the psaas model so that I can download the drivers.

    I have 2 problems: the first is the eve of power software, it does not work. Start windows every time I get an error in the energy saver. I can not uninstall.

    My second problem is, that a windows pop who found a network controller and I can't find any software or driver for it. So in Device Manager, an exclamation point on the icon of the network controller.

    The funny thing is that I have internet and all.
    I can't find a solution to these two problems
    Thanks again

    Hello

    You have chosen the correct unit. The satellite Pro A100 PSAASE is the same model as PSAAS.
    I put t know why the power gain error appears, but for most of these errors occur because the tools and utilities have been installed in the wrong order!
    Seems that the installation instruction has been placed on the page of the driver Tosh! Read and follow the installation guide lines! Proper installation is important and necessary.

    The LAN drivers are also published on the page! There are 2 different versions. Try them both!
    The laptop supports a Lan Intel Ekron-R 82562GZ chip. Compatible drivers, you can also find on the Intel page!

    Good day

  • 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. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A100-080 does not start - stays dark after 3 beeps

    Hello
    After a week off, the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-080 (PSAASE-00G004GR, 4 GB RAM) of my kids start not anymore.
    When turn on/off the system, he * will beep 3 times * (one long, two short beeps), the HDisk light flashes 'blue' and then nothing more. A/c and battery power LED are 'blue', which seem to be OK status.
    No other useful help, as the screen remains dark.

    We had upgraded to 4 GB MEM (Kingston) a year ago and I already tried the old used 1 GB (included with purchase) or the replacement of 2 x 1 GB since December 2007, but equal status with these modules. This is not
    a defect of memory.

    I hope that this is not the motherboard, probably only the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics included adapter?
    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

    Thx for a short help.

    Hello

    Generally this type of beep codes are hardware related or with other words, hardware is defective. So I think it's a hardware problem and an ASP must check your laptop computer to identify the cause of this.

    On the Toshiba site, you will find a list of aspic:

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro A100-828 refuses to connect to the internet with modem MDA Vario 2

    I have an Equium A60 which I use regularly as a modem for mobile internet access. Still, it connects to my MDA VARIO 2 (HTC Tytn) and gives quick access.
    However I just bought a Satellite pro a100-828 who, for some reason, refuses to connect to the internet through this phone.

    T-mobile want nothing to do with the problem and that it is a conflict between the phone and the bluetooth stack Toshiba. The phone has always look like that is going to connect and then to computer recording connected to the screen network switches the modem feature phone.

    As you can guess I'm sitting at the old equium typing this so if anyone can shed some light on this I would be very happy?

    I tried to uninstall the bluetooth stack.

    The fact that your old Equium was connected via BT to this modem?
    Perhaps a Bluetooth stack of new version of battery BT facility allows or you can try to use the same version of BT stack that is installed on the old notebook

  • Satellite Pro A100 support Micro SD card?

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 (model PSAAPE - OOTOOKEN).
    It has a card on the front slot and the manual says "this slot allows you to easily transfer data from devices such as PDA and digital camera that uses flash memory (SD/MS/MS Pro/MMC/memory cards xD).

    I want to buy a Micro SD (microSDHC) memory card for use with a tablet PC, I intend to buy.

    My question is, if I insert the Micro SD (microSDHC) card in a SD adapter and insert it into the slot of laptops, laptop will accept for read/write operations?

    I was wondering if I can get away with having one type of card for laptops and tablet, rather than a microSDHC for the tab and a SD card for the laptop.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The user manual provides information on the supported cards.

    Supported are:
    8 MB to 2 GB SD card
    MMC (multimedia) card 8 MB to 1 GB
    8 MB to 256 MB card MS (memory stick)
    MS (MemoryStick) Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    16 MB to 1 GB xD memory card

    > My question is, if I insert the Micro SD (microSDHC) card in a SD adapter and insert it into the slot of laptops, laptop will accept for read/write operations?

    Since supports up to 2 GB card SD card reader, you should be able to use the microSDHC in relation to a SD card adapter.
