• Satellite Pro A200 - SD card works only on Windows 7

  Hello

  I tried to install Windows 7 rtm downloaded from the MSDN site. Once I installed it, my Satellite Pro A200 works fine, but the built in SD card reader does not work, that nothing happens when I insert an SD card, it is not recognized.
  Can anyone of you help me?

  Thank you very much.

  Francesco.

  Excuse for my English.

  Hello

  Have you installed a driver for the SD card?
  OK you will not find a Windows 7 driver yet, but most of the Vista drivers are also work on Windows 7.

  Normally you need a driver for the SD card, so you may notice yellow exclamation in Device Manager?

  What types of SD cards are you trying? In the user manual, you can find a list of supported SD cards.

• Satellite PRO A200 power issue - will not start

  Toshiba Satellite PRO A200 (model PSAE4E-00U004EN)
  OS Vista Business (not that get us here!)

  OK, here's the problem: battery led (blue), AC disconnected. Turn on (absolutely no hard disk activity)

  See attached picture + 30 seconds of video...

  Image = http://i37.tinypic.com/2lv00ow.jpg

  Here's what I tried...

  Removing the battery
  Remove and put back in place the two sticks of RAM
  Withdrawal of one of the sticks of RAM, a start in (and vice versa)
  Withdrawal of the DVD player
  Hold the power button for 20 seconds to evacuate the residule power, then plug back
  Holding the Fn key and pressing the power button
  Holding the 0 key and pressing the power button
  Still nothing...

  I hope you guys can help out me? Tomorrow I'm going to disassemble the laptop, maybe there is a blocked fan and this is a heat issue? or otherwise perhaps the power button is somehow disconnected?

  I downloaded and printed the disassembly instructions

  Please help me!

  Hello

  Looks like a serious problem.
  But for the first time, try this:

  -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
  -Wait about 20-30 min
  -Reconnect the two parts and try to turn on the laptop

  If it is not possible to power the laptop then the problem must be related to a serious hardware problem and only the ASP would be able to help you and to see what's exactly wrong with the machine.

• Upgraded Satellite Pro A200 - 4 GB of Ram, but I have only 3 GB

  I have a satellite Pro A200 and I uppgraded from 2 to 4 GB of Ram.
  It was not a problem as long as I have didn't ' tt start Windows Vista.

  In the back when the memory is counting upp there are 4 GB (40XX something) but when I loggen into victory. There is only 3 GB left.

  Whence my A200 Sat stuck the other 1 GB?
  I have now that the graphics card takes upp to 250 MB, but there are still some 750 GB is not there?

  Is there anyone who can help me and solve this problem, I'm just 100% satisfied with my A200 but it buggs me that is missing 750MO I SEAP for.

  Hey Buddy

  For several years he s already known that the Windows 32 bit doesn t recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
  I think you should visit the Microsoft good, old for details ;)

• Satellite Pro A200 - shows only 3 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

  2 years ago I had a Satellite Pro A200 as a professional laptop and it works with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB, it shows 2 GB memory in Windows - and I know it's a Radeon 7500 with 256 MB memory graphics individual, and there is no shared memory.

  I upgraded to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32-bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems, I've seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.

  So, where's the memory? It looks like a bug - the chips of memory have two 2 GB I checked this. Because it's a company laptop I can not just switch to 64-bit XP :-(

  There's no option in the BIOS - first I thought that it is the graphics card, but mine has independent graphics with own memory so that the computer comes up with MB 2048 or 4096 after the upgrade.

  Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM for the operating system as my private EEEpc.

  Hi shadowmaster_1,

  > I know that 4 GB is not possible under XP 32 bit
  Then why do you ask this question here if you already know? Moreover, it s not a limitation in XP, it s a material limitation on all 32-bit systems

  > only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista
  And who says that Windows 2003 or Vista can use 4 GB? Okay, there's an update for Vista where 4 GB correct displayed in system properties, but that doesn't make no difference. Vista 32 bit peut t use all of 4GB, it s only cosmetic improvements! ;)

  > So where is memory?
  Memory is installed on your computer, but can t be used complelty with a 32 bit OS.

  At the end of the story: If you want to use 4 GB, you need to install a 64 bit OS. On all the 32 bit OS, you can use only upward to ~3.2GB RAM!

• Satellite Pro A200 - does not start with 4 GB of RAM

  Hello

• Satellite Pro A200 failed to start

  Hi guys,.

  Need for emergency assistance.
  Computer laptop Satellite Pro A200 tension regarding the Toshiba password logon, then the cursor freezes the upper left corner, it won't get into F8 configurations.
  This unit is 3 months old Satellite Pro A200 XP Pro.

  Used cell phone Sunday noon and set a system restore before installing a few applications. I can get to the Bios.
  I also used the disc of recovery as a last resort. I'm on vacation a week today and if all goes well with the laptop.

  deejaydee

  You said you used the recovery CD? Well, I guess that you were not able to boot from them. Or I m wrong?

  Usually, you should try to boot from the CD bootable recovery CD, Win XP/Vista CD or CD of Linux. This could allows to check if a hardware problem exists.

  If you want to boot from the CD, I would recommend pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop. This should allow booting from the CD/DVD drive.
  However, you can also try the F12 key. This allows the Boot Manager where you could choose the STRANGE.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E - computer laptop shuts down randomly

  I've had my Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E for about a year and a half now. He ran very well most of the time, but in recent months he has been stop itself randomly. There is no warning or "Windows is shutting down" he just me using my computer to a blank screen.

  After frustrated with her, I did a full format my HARD drive and started from scratch. This does not solve the problem, and since then, the taskbar freezes. When I click on it I get the error and the hourglass cursor message "Windows Explorer is not responding... "I then have to click"restart", which makes the taskbar disappear for a few seconds before returning (usually without my sound icon).

  The laptop turns off when it is connected to the electric network with & without the battery and when running only on battery, so I excluded all power problem.

  I have considered it heats up too, but I use a block of cooling with built-in fans and has not himself in a few minutes after being hit not 24 hours, so I'm not sure that's the problem.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  I am running WIndows Vista Home Premium 32-bit if that's any help.

  Thank you.

  > It worked fine most of the time, but in recent months he has been stop itself randomly.

  I think that the problem of overheating.
  The fact is that the laptop would be down automatically stops in order to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.
  In most cases this problem can be solved very easily. Using a jet of compressed air, you can remove the dust from the cooling modules and fans.
  I clean my fans from time to time, because I noticed a higher temperature and the laptop was a little stronger.

• Satellite Pro A200 - new RAM work together

  Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro A200-PSAF1A-003002, I bought the year last with RAM 2x512MB that I try to update my 3 GB RAM and I bought 2 RAM KTT667D2 / 1 G & KTT667D2 / 2G Kingston memory.

  I added that the 2 strips of RAM in the laptop, but it does not start. The power and the drive lights and flash for 3 times everything off. No boot. But I remove one of the sticks of RAM and it starts very well and the RAM has been upgraded in the system.

  I tried with the sticks and the two slots to remove 'bad slot' ideas and a stick of RAM works in a thin slot. Paste works in slot 1 or slot 2 and stick b works in slot 1 or 2, but not both at the same time. Is it simply a setting I'm missing somewhere? I checked the BIOS version is 1.7, I need to update my BIOS? Help, please

  Thank you
  Yana

  I think that the modules are not compatible together and that is the reason why each module works in each slot.

  Did you buy KTT667D2/1 and KTT667D2 / 2G. Different modules of s and are not working together.
  You should buy only the modules with the same specifications and capacity (for example, 2x1GB and 2x2gb).

• Satellite Pro A200 does not load if current enforcement

  Hello

  I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. I have a problem with the power adapter and charge socket.
  It will start and run very well and when turned off will charge the battery of fine food. But when running, the machine automatically runs battery, no network and does not load.

  This means that the battery is sinking and ended up to be recharged so just off the coast.
  When the power supply is removed and then reinserted, it will load for maybe 30 seconds, then stops to load again initially and continues to run on battery.
  At the same time, the blue light of indication on the front of the machine lights up to indicate that the ESA is connected and detected, and on battery defiler on windows in States ' ac connected, not charging battery "-in other words it works of ac and is detected but the machine isn't use to run power supply or load unless it is turned off...

  Can anyone offer a solution?

  Thank you

  That s very strange and I guess that this problem could be linked to the hardware problem.
  Either it's a defective battery or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
  In my opinion, there is only one way to know what's wrong some diagnostic tests are needed.
  This test can be performed by a technician of the ASP.
  That is why it s advisable to contact an ASP in your country for audits.

  This is a new laptop and warranty should cover everything!

• Satellite Pro A200 - failed to retrieve deaths

  Hello

  My daughter has a Satellite Pro A200 which appears to be dead, she should try to get a new one!

  When I try to boot from the HDD Recovery repair Windows I get the message "the installed program cannot start. Click OK to turn off the computer. »

  I also tried to boot from the CD/DVD drive with the disk and computer repair recovery, how I get - a black screen with mouse cursor leading to the same message as to the approach of HARD drive recovery

  Given both fail this probable failure of HARD drive (I had a similar problem with my Dell wife to start up which is HARD drive failure)?

  Thank you

  Obviously, something is wrong with the preinstalled operating system and that you need to do is to install the operating system using Toshiba recovery image.

  First enter the BIOS settings and be sure the HARD drive is recognized correctly.
  Set the BIOS to default settings and start recovery image installation:
  Turn on the laptop and press F12 repeatedly
  When the start menu is shown recovery disc into the optical disc drive
  Press ENTER and follow the menu on the screen.

  If you will not be able to install the recovery image, it may be that the HARD drive is the troublemaker.
  Replacing the HARD drive is not a big deal, and you can exchange it only in just 10 minutes.

• Problems of the product on the Satellite Pro A200 recovery

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A200. She runs very slowly and sometimes it crashes when I connect.
  Also the homepage was hacked and I tried several anti-spyware and they did not work.

  I have the product recovery disc, but the problem the DVD rom drive stopped working.
  The light is on, but it will not open unless you use the manual unlocking.
  I removed and checked the connections, but it seems okay.

  The CD-ROM/DVD-rom has disappeared from the Device Manager and does not come under the material.
  I tried the system restore, but it won't work.

  Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

  I tried to restart the computer and choose boot from CD, but it won't give me this option.
  I looked in the bios and only boot options it gives are hard disk, CD rom, land and FDD

  > Is there anyway that you can use the product recovery software if you start from a USB?

  No, this Toshiba recovery disc cannot be copied to USB flash memory and used for installing the OS. I'm afraid that it would work not m.

  But if you have a Microsoft Windows CD, you should be able to create a USB bootable flash stick. In internet, you will find lots of useful instructions step by step how create this bootable USB key.

  But boot from USB flash memory stick must be definitely possible since the BIOS supports bootable devices on:
  Drive floppy USB, HDD, ODD, Network (LAN), USB memory

• Satellite Pro A200-1JV memory expansion

  Hello

  The specification for my Satellite Pro A200 1JV said:-

  standard: 512 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

  2 x memory slots (1 to configure)

  I inserted two 1024 memory cards but when the machine starts it only sees one of the cards.

  I guess I need to "set up" the second memory location, but does not know how to do that.

  Any help gratefully received

  As much as I know, that you should not configure anything. All you need to do is use the compatible RAM module of high quality.

  Which module of memory you use for the upgrade of RAM (manufacturer)?

• Brightness, function keys, WinXP and Satellite Pro A200

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A200 (serial PSAE7E) with WIndows Vista and try to install Windows XP next.
  After hours of hunting for drivers (with moderate success) and try to install a XP in a privileged way (3rd partition main, 2nd is for Vista), I stopped.

  I am not able to get to work a function keys (keys, light, monitor, CPU frequency and wireless) XP. Under Vista, these keys only works when Toshiba Flash Cards application is running - when I turn this app, these keys are also unavailable (why?).

  I browsed a forum and found a few threads also wrote about this topics, update BIOS to version XP
  But I do not found answers to my questions:

  (* 1) * is a software (like FlashCards, but for XP) _Activer under XP system function keys? configuration: (Vista + XP + BIOS for Vista)

  (* 2) * if I install a BIOS XP version, what happens to my Vista system installed on my laptop? It stops stating, or function keys stop responding or even a different Components would be inaccessible?
  Someone has tested the configuration like this (Vista + XP + BIOS for XP)

  (* 3) * it is possible to Flash the BIOS to the version of Vista the XP version and still the version of Vista? (maybye I should Flash the BIOS before you start the system?)

  Currently I use the BIOS version 1.70 of Vista, Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD and XP SP2.

  Hi mate,

  long discussion, short answer:

  1. no it not there no software (no software officially released and taken in charge) that is available for XP on a Sat A200.

  2. your system will operate normally, only the behavior of the function keys on bios level will change. If you Flash the bios with the XP version that the function keys should be available under XP without any software.

  3 Yes, it s definitely possible to reflash the BIOS since many clients have machines with XP and want to use Vista (I never understand but hey..)

  I hope that every question has been answered.

• Satellite Pro A200: How restart after hibernation

  I must be a fool.
  I put in power button new Satellite Pro A200 to activate the Hibernate.

  Then set the BIOS password. Despite the password entered correctly, it won't start windows.
  And can't stop laptop holding down the power button to force the reboot.

  Then
  (1) how to restart short waiting until the batterys flat roll... And
  (2) when and if I get a reboot, which key (s) should I hold down to get into the BIOS.

  Thank you much for the help.

  > Despite the entered password correctly, it won't start windows.
  > Nor can I stop laptop holding down the power button to force the reboot

  You have a Phoenix BIOS? If yes then you have to press the F2 key immediately after the laptop starts to access the BIOS. But you will not be able to access the BIOS, if the password is not right and cannot be verified.

  The unknown BIOS password can be removed only by an ASP in your country. There is a special procedure that is known only to authorized Toshiba service technicians.
  Therefore, follow the recommendation and contact guys!

  PS: The laptop must stop when you press the power button for about 4-5 sec.
  If not, unplug the AC and the battery to turn off the computer!
