• Satellite 5200-801-failure of graphics HW

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the graphics card to a Satellite 5200 801? Or it is part of the motherboard, means, I need to change the mothermoard? If it is possible, what is probable invest?

  Question:
  My graphics card appears to show a HW failure. After that turn on the screen of the laptop shows the thin vertical lines and it starts flashing after a few seconds.

  During the startup of Windows XP, the machine meets a bluescreen detection of problems with the nvidia device.

  When I start the laptop mode safe, the notebook starts up and I'm able to evidence with the Manager of Windows hardware, Windows detects a HW problem with the graphics card.

  So I'm sure it's the graphics card or the video RAM. Even playing with the video modes do not change or correct the problem. Also the video mode with the highest resolution is no longer available.

  The LCD display is new. I changed it with a new 3 months ago.

  Thanks in advance,

• Dysfunction of graphics on a Satellite 5200 801

  I have a Toshiba Satellite 5200-801 (nr.PS 520-31P1D-PT) with the following problem:

  After pressing the button operation, the screen shows vertical stripes, alternately, with large rectangle B & W points. After Windows XP spit and the only thing I can do, it's a hard reboot again and again once.

  It happened all of a sudden without any specific reason a few days ago, and now I never finished a full boot sequence Windows normal.

  I read another discussion here in this forum, and I guess that the problem should be on the graphical circuit inside the motherboard. Do you think this could be a malfunction of this series from Toshiba?
  I try to call today for the phone number of European support, but after 15 minutes of waiting I hang it up.

  Here in Lisbon (Portugal), I have no idea how to solve this problem.

  Could all those who have already opened this model, you tell me if the graphic chipsset could be changed? (This is perhaps a silly question :-(sorry on this subject)

  Thank you very much for other ideas solving this dysfunction,
  Luis Pitta (from Lisbon)

  Hi Luis

  He damage of s to hear that I agree with you it could be a graphics card but I put t think it is of a common malfunction of this series laptop.
  You know, these defects occur just my laptop another production was fixed 2 times due to the fault of the sound card
  I think laptops are more affected by various malfunctions due to the temperature inside the laptop. The devices together produce a lot of heat and after several times the chip can damage all simply.

  It seems that you don't have much experience with this replacement and so I don't t recommend trying to fix it yourself. Firstly the replacement of the devices isn't easy as on the desktop PC and second you don t have the right parts.
  The technicians of the partner of service authorized in your country have more experience as a common user like me and you.
  Guys should check the laptop

• Satellite 5200-801-indicator of battery flashes orange while dc is green

  I have SATELLITE 5200-801, the battery light flashes orange while the domain controller is green and the laptop works

  I can't boot from external USB cdrom to install windows as its internal DVD does not work

  Help, please

  > Ok I fix the battery problem was feeding me to change.
  Nice to hear that! :)

  > But I still can't start external USB cdrom
  Have you checked if your laptop computer (BIOS) supports booting from an external USB drive? I doubt it would be possible on old Satellite 5200. If you exchange your CD-ROM drive. You can look on eBay for the part of second hand, they are a little cheaper. :)

• Speakers satellite 5200 801.

  Are there outside Yamaha equalizer and Volume any repareable reason for the failure of the Woofer bass in the sound of the Satellite 5200 801?

  Hi Frankie,

  I understand that your problem is that your subwoofer is not working properly. You reinstall the driver and additional of your CD of tools & utilities software or website of toshiba? (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com)

  Also, you can check in Control Panel sound and Audio devices. It should be the Yamaha AC - XG WDm Audio setting as default device in AUDIO.

  Or another suggestion, check under System Device Manager in the control panel and check if the devices work properly!

  It could also possible that your subwoofer is inadmissible and must be changed by a partner of Serivce!

  I'll hope this helps!

• How to restart the Satellite 5200 801 without using the recovery disk?

  Hello
  I haven't used my Satellite 5200 801 for awhile and now it does not start. That's what I have on the black screen:

  Intel® Boot Agent Version 4.1.04
  Copyright © 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press a key when tready.

  I have the product recovery disc, but which will erase all existing data and rebuild. Is there a way to boot my PC without the use of the recovery disk?

  Thanks for any help.

  > PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  This message means that laptop tried to boot from LAN.
  Given that this was not possible the PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable appeared

  I guess that the HARD drive is defect and therefore, the laptop won't boot from the internal HARD drive.
  In this case also your internal data on the HARD disk are lost.

  But to be100% sure that you can remove the laptop HARD drive, could use a drive enclosure HARD 2.5 to connect the HARD drive to another computer just to check if you would be able to access data on the HARD drive

• Memory and disk HARD upgrade question - Satellite 5200 801

  Hi all

  I really need your help to upgrade my toshiba Satellite 5200 801 (model: PS520E-31P1D-EN), basically it's the version specification factory (technical instructions on the link below)
  http://www.cwrose.de/Toshiba/S5200.html

  What I want is to get faster internal memory, you can buy for this model (currently I have two default 256 mb DDR 266 MHz CL2.5 memory sticks). Will probably do a gig of memory (I could have more, but it depends on the price).
  As well, I want to spend the HD to 160 gig (about), as well as get a faster hard drive then the current 60gig 4200 RPM Hitachi HD (as soon as possible for the specifications of my laptop).

  Anyone know what would be the best option?

  Someone said that it would cost all under 100 (that would be cool), but I don't know anything about the compatibility of different companies etc.
  Can anyone recommend what equipment... .and where * I hope that ebay or studs :)
  I need to go to get this sorted out

  PS:
  FYI, I mostly use the laptop for graphic design, video, and the interwebz.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Hello

  You can upgrade the Satellite 5200 801 memory and HARD drive.
  S for laptop computer memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM. So you can use 2 x 512 MB PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

  Check this link 5200-801 Satellite:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6116&ft=m&St=3

  In my opinion, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers, but the module must support these specifications: 200-Pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM
  I suppose you could also use a 400 Mhz because the laptop supports a 400 Mhz FSB too.

  I think that an upgrade of the IDE 160 GB HARD disk is not possible. To my knowledge, the BIOS can support such massive size of the HARD drive. But this is only my personal opinion. If I was you I would try a smaller HDD like 100 GB or 120 GB.

  Hello.

  I have a satellite 5200 - 801.The thing is that my graphics card is broken and his one with my mobo so I need to change my motherboard.

  I got a new mobo for the American market.
  do you know if it will be compatible with my European model?

• Satellite 5200 903: problems with Fn + F5 and button Middle YPP

  Hello
  I updated my Win XP Home for Win XP Pro and installed all the goodies of toshiba from the home page. Two things do not work as expected if:
  * Fn + F5 is not scroll the screens available
  * The YPP middle button cannot be used as a middle mouse button

  Don't know why Fn + F5 does not work, all other Fn keys work as expected. They show the OSD, too. FN + F5 does not display the OSD menu and no service :/

  The YPP button: I tried the driver on the site of toshiba and synpatics.com
  The problem is: in Control Panel, I can choose functions to each button. The "middle button" function is available for the left and the right key, but not the middle. And it is not recognized as button in the Middle, but like PageUp.

  Any ideas? The laptop is a Satellite 5200 903.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello Ataraxis

  First of all I must tell you that the Satellite 5200 is a great unit. If I found one that doesn't cost a lot of money, I will buy it.

  For your questions:

  As far as I know if you want to use the FN + F5 key combination you must install TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for Display Devices V2.1.0.0 - 1. I hope that this tool is installed correctly. If you want you can try to install again.

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that this little button in the Middle does not have the same function as mouse button of the medium, as a dial and it will be used to start the Launcher of sPad. If you want you can check it in s. manuals I've read n t, but I hope you can find a good explanation about the features of this little button.

  Good luck!

• I can put Satellite 5200 801 view to the Satellite 5200 903

  My 5200-801 killed the graphics adapter.
  Now I wonder if I can by a 5200-903 eBay; the 801 seems to be quite rare and put the screen 1600 * 1200 the 801 the 903.

  Or is it possible to get an another Mainbord for the 801 at a reasonable price?

  Have a nice Sunday.

  Rescuer

  Hello

  > can by a 5200-903 eBay; the 801 seems to be very rare and put the screen 1600 * 1200 the 801 the 903
  I think it is possible due to the fact that both models of laptops support 15.0 "TFT color.
  That is why I see no serious reasons why this t shouldn't be possible.

  > Or is it possible to get an another Mainbord for the 801 at a fair price?
  What is a fair price, I think you can get a new motherboard for around 300 euros.
  But I think that this isn't an option for you. I reason ;)
  As you say ebay is a good place to get a laptop second hand and especially the laptop together are much cheaper as a single party as the display or the mobo

  By the way; the display is always fixed with screws... but more details are not known to me...

• Resolution would not change on Satellite 5200 801

  Hello.
  I've always used 1280 x 1024 resolution on my laptop 5200-801. For some strange reason, after the last restart the resolution to 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024 is more listed as being available (the maximum that I can see on the display control panel settings of 1024 x 768, 32-bit color or 16).

  I tried to reinstall the NVidia driver but led to no result.
  What can I do? The graphics card is a NVidia Geforce4 460 Go
