• 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

  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 - card reader no longer works

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 - PSAACE-008002EN, that I bought a month ago, its worked perfectly so far and has been fantastic to use.

  The main part that I use is the memory located on the front card reader, I have used it with SD, MMC and cards XD for my pda and cameras, until now, it worked well, but recently, I was music transfer etc for my Sony PSP Memory Stick using a Memorystick Pro Duo Pro adapter so that the card fits properly in the slot and it works very well.

  All of a sudden the laptop can no more read on my MS card, I tried the card in a usb card reader and it works perfectly with or without the adapter. The laptop card reader reads cards SD MMC and XD, still perfectly fine but when I framed my memorystick, it shows the stick as being there in my computer, but when I click on the dialog box appears and says that there is no disc?

  I tried to install the latest drivers but it does not work, any help is appreciated

  Thank you very much

  I found this information and first of all, I want to put a list of supported cards:

  SD (support of multiple Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8MB - 2GB
  Memory Stick (supported by several Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8 to 256 MB
  photo 16-1 GB xD card
  Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
  Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
  MultiMediaCard 8 MB - 1 GB

  According to this list, the Memory Stick Pro Duo is not supported. But you used an adapter.
  But maybe this is a reason why the card reader cannot read the MS cards more.

  What you can do is to remove the card from the Device Manager reader, and after new restart try to install this new device

• 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

  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/P100 - compatibility touchpad

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 and I saw pictures and videos on the internet of people have these keyboards LCD that illuminate blue and have shortcuts but only touchpads I can find like that correspond to the P100 and ino models some of the parties each other as I was ve documented but I can t can't find if the touchpads do or not but I think that s what other people I saw someone do any ideas?

  Thank you to

  Hello

  The two models of laptops are old enough, is not easy to find some useful information on this subject. I remember that some P100/A100 and A200/P200 / X 200 models were offered with these keyboards.

  I m not a technician but I think these keyboards with keys have two cables must be connected to the motherboard and keys touchpad without buttons have a flat cable only.
  (I also believe that models with and without this touchpad have different numbers) model numbers) so it is possible that they have different mothers.

  What you need is a professional help with this. I mean, if possible, try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can check the specification for your laptop model but also data base for all hardware components of portable.

  They may be able to help you with this.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 A100-622: disk space HARD lower since I use regitry cleaning tool

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-622 with 80 GB hard drive.

  About a week ago, I used a program I downloaded on internet to clearn registry and improve "performance.
  Since my HDD has been gnawed.

  I deleted programs as much as I could, but even before the cleaning, I never used 30 GB max.
  Have done everthing, disk cleanup, and no sooner got a few MBs, they disappear.

  Don't know what to do now.
  Even tried to reformat the drive using the recovery of products of Toshiba, nothing helps.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  You mean that 30 GB on the HARD disk are available?

  Check the status of the disk in disk management.
  You can see the entire HARD drive and all the available partitions
  Perhaps a partition has been created and the other part of the HARD drive is unallocated space

  But he s strange this recovery disk didn't solve this usually recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and redefines the laptop to factory settings

  The Satellite Pro A100 has a modem 'voice '?

  If so, can I make phone calls using the Dialer in MS Outlook with a microphone plugged into my laptop.

  Please, don't make it so complicated. As a first step, it would be interesting to know what operating system you are using. On the Toshiba support page you can find sound driver and modem for operating system supported.

• 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?

  I am updating a Satellite Pro A100.
  I downloaded the update of the display driver but can't install it because it say its longer 88 charicters.

  Anyone has any ideas, tips or suggestions please?
  My goal is to alow the user to be able to play Sims 2 if it is possibe, because I know that some video cards do not support the game (or whatever it is).

  I assume that you have downloaded the zip package.
  Rename the package for example in "display driver" and then uncompress the package.
  Then go to the folder where the driver was decompressed and then launch the installation.

  Can you do this?

• Satellite Pro A100 is not recognized any amount of RAM

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 and I just bought 1 GB of additional memory. There are two locations, each with a capacity of 1 GB.
  When I put the new memory into the slot and the old 512 MB original memory in slot B and the computer says it is 1 GB.

  I have them two-way round so that the 512 MB is has the 1 GB in B. Now the computer says that there is 512 MB.
  Is there anything I can do to work B slot? I have the latest version of the BIOS update.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > original 512K of Ram also works in A slot, but not in the housing B.
  This looks like your slot B is defective, mate :(

  I think that, in this case, you can't. You can swap the card mother but that s all.
