• Incorrect operating system on the new recovery disc - Satellite U200-115

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U200-115 model No.PLUA0E - 0970372N which ran from Windows XP Professional. Stupidly, I decided to reformat the hard disk to clean. When I got to use my original recovery disk I found that it was badly scratched and unusable. I just got a new recovery disk, but he installed Windows Vista not what the machine came with.

  It says "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and that the "product key is invalid for activation. I don't have a product key for Vista only for XP Professional!
  What should I do now?

  > What should I do now?
  Is your laptop comes with WXP Pro. In my opinion, you should communicate with Bertelsmann (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx) and ask what is the problem.

• Satellite U200-115: how to reach the return key on the keyboard

  Hello.

  I recently bought a Satellite U200-115 and have a quick question. I was typing earlier today and I accidentally eliminated one of the keys to its position. I then spent the last 3 hours trying to attach it to the laptop.

  I was just wondering if the mechanism of how the keys are placed on the base of the keyboard has a special technique to be applied on the keyboard?

  The key is divided into three parts, and it looks like not to I broke one of these parts but im having rear attatching boredom. I would be grateful for any help you are able to provide.

  Hello

  AFAIK there is no special technique. You simply press plastic key. It will click and the key will be placed as before.

• Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - cannot activate windows player

  Hello world

  I am having some problems with my player on my Satellite U200-115 DVD burner.
  It works very intermittently, and everytime I turn on the machine, the first notice I get is 'CD error' even if there is no disk in the drive.
  I can not activate the drive of windows (icon in the system tray).
  There is the odd occasion when the drive does not work in windows but it's so rare that I don't remember the last time (I think it was in Nov 08).

  I want to restore the system as I get a lot of windows, icons of file instead of the appropriate icons for images for example pdf, doc, etc., but am worried that the reader will not read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.

  Any ideas would be welcome.

  Best wishes

  Nick

  If there s a problem with the player software won't stop working during the recovery procedure.
  That you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?

  You can try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If it works, it would be a software issue and not a hardware problem.

  Maybe this Microsoft Knowledge Base article can help you:

• Re: Satellite A300 sometimes fails to start

  My Satellite A300 sometimes fails on start when displaying a logo of Toshiba.
  I don't know why. Y at - it a touch to show a p.o.s.t. tests?

  Sorry for my English.

  Hello

  You can change in the BIOS the option to boot from normal to fast.
  I think that this will disable the Red Toshiba log and show you the post screen.
  But to be honest, I don't know if this could be help full.
  In any case, if the laptop is unable to pass on the MESSAGE, something might be wrong on the motherboard; the modules, memory example or similar

• Satellite U200-115 request PASSWORD on start up

  Hello

  For the first time ever and for no apparent reason my U200-115 has decided to ask for a password (BIOS I believe). It was working quite happily last night. I stopped as normal and kicked as always this morning. He's going theough the Toshiba start screen and then goes to a white screen with PASSWORD = I have no idea what the password and have never set one, can you help me?

  I have download Office updates before shutting down then last night, I don't know if this is relevant.

  Any help would be appreciated, and bear with me as I am a newbie to this!

  Thank you

  Wendy

  Hello

  Do you mean this password it resembles a BIOS password?
  It's very strange and not understandable to me.

  If it is a BIOS password, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country for deleting and updating the BIOS.

  I think you need to contact the ASP as soon as possible and should explain your problem.

  Good luck

• Black screen on startup with a Satellite U200-115

  I have a U200-115, I downloaded an upgrade for the BIOS of toshiba and installed in accordance with their instructions. Since upgrading my laptop does not start, all I get is a black sreen with a sound signal and a flashing light orange.

  Any ideas?

  The U200 is a new laptop. Don t think you will find diagrams for the motherboard. But why do you need them?

  As mentioned above the BIOS flashing failed and you need to contact the ASP in your country. If you area lucky man that the motherboard must be not changed but the chip of the ROM BIOS flashed again. Do not hesitate to ask for the help guys!

• Satellite L30-115: does not start when external keyboard and mouse are connected

  My Satellite L30-115 starts when my external keyboard and mouse are connected to PS2 USB adapter.

  Everything is OK, when they are not connected, and they work fine when they are connected after boot.

  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  I don't think there is a way to solve this problem. Also, I assume it is the related issue of the BIOS. Is perhaps the time to be up-to-date and use new and compatible equipment. ;)

• CHKDSK with Windows Vista on the Satellite U200-115 messages

  I just installed the free update to Vista, which went well, but now that I'm installing software I get error messages saying that some files are corrupt.

  Running CHKDSK happens with large number of errors in the index. Repair attempts were not very successful. Help please!

  BIOS has been updated with the update of the bios provided on the disk supplied with the upgrade to Vista. Is this the last?

  My machine: laptop Toshiba U200-115

  Hello

  If I were you, I form the systemdisk and reinstall vista, because if your file system is damaged and is not able to repair itself the tools system, then you have some big problems.

  I suggest: backup your important data on key USB, USB - HDD, CD/DVD or something else and reinstall your operating system.

• Satellite U200-115: Vista found new device - PCMCIA MTD-002

  Booted up my laptop and get a Vista found new hardware screen, search drivers for a device of "PCMCIA MTD-002". Have no idea what it is... but I am sure that I did not use the PCMCIA location, since I got the computer. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Satellite U200 is known to me, but I didn t try to install Vista on this laptop. Have you installed drivers all listed on the download page of Toshiba for Vista?

• How to develop the Satellite U200 - 115 RAM?

  Are there clear instructions anywhere on the access to the expansion of the U200-115 RAM slots?
  I would like to add some more RAM, but can not find how to get to the openings to do.
  Reference to a manual with diagrams would be a * much * help.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  Upgrading RAM is not really complicated, I think you could get access to the memory locations that very easily slots are placed at the bottom of the device, as far as I know the slots are guaranteed by a screw, remove the screws and you should be able to remove the cover

  Both slots can handle DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes
  Usually, you can use modules of different manufacturers I m using Kingston modules and I convinced m

  Anyway, as Akuma suggested, it would be useful if you check the user manual you will find a few pictures and a short instruction how to insert these modules

  See you soon

• Satellite U400-10N fails to start all by showing a black screen!

  So, I press the power button, the 3 LEDS are fuctional appearing but CPU - GPU fan does not start!

  After a while, it shuts it self and then he tries to start again, but the fan fails again while the power led and not others (Led 1 and 2 down).
  Must say once again that the screen always appear black (maybe also dead)

  I thought it was a problem of overheating, so I cleaned the fan but with not a lot of dust!
  But it was not the problem crearly because I tested it!
  Now I think that this could be a GPU problem, but I don't know about you!

  Any suggestions that he could be and how o solve this problem? Thank you!

  Hello

  It may be RAM problem, it may be a motherboard problem, it can also be a problem of CPU or GPU.
  Any party may be affected.
  So what to do?

  You can see the part as RAM. You could buy new Rams tested and could replace it but what happens if you buy new RAM modules, replace it and laptop will NOT turn on?
  You would spend the money for the new RAM but eventually the other party could be faulty

  So I think that a professional technician must check the unit first.
  Guys could give you an answer as to the defective part and then you could decide what to do
  You know what I mean?

• 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

• Drive recovery damaged for Satellite U200-115

  My Satellite worked very slowly so I decided to reformat and start again using the recovery disk. He got 65 percent and stopped. I tried a second time and it does the same thing. When I watched the disc, I found that he has a deep scratch across it. Have now left me with a reformatted hard drive but not bone. Any advice would be welcome.

  For me, there are two options for you:
  -You can try to restore disc original order under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  -Install the operating system using the Microsoft installation disc
  All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

  Hello

  I have no experience in using the True image Home 2011, but I think that it is a wrong forum for asking this question.
  You should ask this in the forum of True image Home 2011
