Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE) - do not display

Hi all

You have a problem that has confused me.

A few weeks ago my very old a100 Sat Pro (PSAACE) began to refuse to display anything on the screen.

It comes to boot, that is, I press the power button on the cold, the system of vortices and fan will both nothing appears on the screen.

I left the cell only and noticed she appeared on my network, so I have remote desktop connected to and everything worked, but still no display on the laptop actually.

Thinking that perhaps it would be a weird configuration that I started by pressing Fn + F5 to switch between views, at this point, I managed to get a display on the laptop screen.

But at the next startup, it does the same thing, that lasted a few days with me by pressing Fn + F5 to get a display.

Then the Fn + F5 has stopped working, I was still able to remote desktop and use the laptop but I couldn't get anything to display.

In windows, the ATI Mobility 1400 had disappeared from the Device Manager.

I thought that the controller VGA card had blown to order it a new.

I mounted this now, and it has not solved the problem. The Fn + F5, workaround works sometimes, but give a very weird-like display corrupt fonts etc.

* However if I do a screenshot it and the screen on another PC and fonts appear normal. *

The 1400 mobility is now recognized by Windows, but still nothing on the screen at during the POST, boot, or Windows.

Fearing corruption BIOS I re flashed with the official BIOS 6.00.

All in all the machine works fine, just no display or by pressing Fn + F5 I can sometimes get the corrupted + with screen.

Finally, I hung on an external monitor, at no time do get any screen top regardless of the Fn + F5 or windows, POST etc...

Any thoughts? A defective cable of LCD/FL would cause this type of problem? or even a faulty inverter Board? or because I don't have any external display I'm looking for a failure of the main card?

Happy to make all new test someone can think...

Thanks in advanced for the help

I understand you; you don t get anything on an external monitor?
Hmm, in my opinion it FL s inverter not given that the FL inverter controlled only a screen backlight
So even if the FL inverter would be defective, you'd see something on the external monitor, but very weakly.

Cable LCD/FL problem? Perhaps, but if the cable is defective you wouldn't see anything, even using Fn + F5 key combination.
So finally, it could be a motherboard problem. But just a guess

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE - no DVD drive detected

  • 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 A100-080 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 A100-622 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. ;)

  • Upgrade of RAM in my Satellite Pro A100 (PSAA3E) was not recognized.

    I have a Pro A100 (PSAA3E) with only 512 MB of RAM.

    I added another identical stick but only 1 has been recognized.
    Each stick is recognised individually in each slot, but never as a 1 GB together. Thus, the two sticks are ok and two slots are okay!

    How can I remedy so that both are recognized?

    Did you use one that is recommended by Toshiba?
    Seems the two modules aren't compatible together hmmm seems very strange.

    How you did upgrade the memory?
    You must disconnect all cables and remove the battery. Then install the memory modules and enter the BIOS. There, you should check if the memory has been increased and set the default BIOS. Don t forget to safe settings!

    Good luck

  • How to change the module RAM in Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE)?

    Hey,.

    I just bought a RAM module to fit in my currently empty home of RAM, but I never installed any portable computer memort before that. I checked a few guides, but none seem to show the kind of clips that have the Pro A100.

    Could someone help me please by pointing me in the direction of a specific guide or taking their time to explain the process.

    Thank you in advance.
    Jason

    On the side at the bottom in the middle is placed the memory cover. Remove it and you'll see two memory slots there. I assume that your device comes with the memory module and new you must put in the empty socket and just press it. Two metal brackets will fix it in the right position.

    That's all you need to do. By the way: before you start doing anything, I recommend you disconnect AC power and also to remove battery.

    Hello

    What graphics driver you used?
    One from the ATI Web site or the graphics driver for the Toshiba page?

    You must use the graphics driver on the page because Toshiba that these drivers are designed and specially modified for Toshiba laptops!

    I tried to use the graphics drivers for example, nVidia page, and I was not able to install it automatically.
    I find on this forum that the graphics drivers from Toshiba are slightly changed to prevent overheating of the graphics card.

    Due to a high performance graphic map of the temperature increases and can damage some parts inside the laptop.
    The graphics driver prevents the increase in temperature and slows down the performance of the graphics card. If temperature decreases the performance increases.

  • Get Bluesceen on Satellite Pro A100 (PSAACE)

    Hi all

    I have big problems with my laptop. He started 2 months when I finally had free wireless internet. On using it, I kept getting the BSOD and thought it was a problem with my RAM. After some trial and error results achieved, it wasn't my ram still getting BSOD. I disabled wireless and used for some time, then again BSOD and startup problems. I thought that maybe a virus, so I ended up formatting my drive (as he needed anyway), but still get BSOD with error code:

    DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

    0x000000D1 (0x0000c79B, 0 x 0, 00000002 00000000, 0xF70CA16E)

    I checked on the net but no resolution. I'm about to re - install all drivers, but I think it is definitely a hardware problem because I noticed when I move around it fails always start the first time. I am running XP PRO and Bitdefender Total Security 2008. I have 2x512mb ram what do not the same but both the same specification. Any ideas anyone?

    Hi friend

    I agree, it is definitely a hardware problem. I had a Satellite A100 (PSAAE) and the BSOD appeared too. After sending the machine to a repair center and 1 week of waiting, the error never appeared again.

    Is the machine still in warranty? If so, then send it immediately to an ASP, otherwise, I'm selling the machine and buy a new one.

  • Satellite Pro A100 (PSAAC) with WIN XP - shutdown problem

    I have problems with my laptop stops not when I ask to do. The message that TSrsTRAYWND isn't closing arrives and I'm invited to manual closing. Even if I do this, the machine "blockages" and does not shut down. I tried the boot without failure and closure then - it does correctly, but then when I start normally and try to stop, it is up to the "hanging" again. The operating system and other programs are fully up-to-date.

    Can anyone suggest one solution, from other online for one, I see that others have the same problem, without a solution yet.

    In anticipation of your help, thank you!

    PS - I can't find any reference to the TSrsTRAYWND anywhere.

    Hello

    I tried on my laptop for a TSrsTRAYWND.exe file but I could t find anything. If you search for this file on the HARD drive you get a result?

    I think it has something to with the drivers/software that will be loaded on Windows start. You should try to disable all programs in msconfig-start up that you don't need online. Then try again.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.
