• Strange question on Satellite A100 LCD

  Hello

  I just bought a laptop A-100-599 and I started noticing that after 10 to 15 minutes of the lower part of the screen LCD (one that is close to where it connects with the rest of the computer) starts to overheat to the point where I can see the black plastic of different color close to overheating. The image does not change there are no problems in this area, the laptop freezes not or anything like that.

  Is this normal or should I worry? :)

  I have Satellite A100-504 in front of me and look at the screen. Everything is ok. Your problem of reading I really do not understand exactly what is happening and what it looks like. It will be very useful to see the picture of it.

  Anyway, Satellite A100 is fairly new laptop model and, in my opinion, you should contact the service and show them what is happening here. According to your description, I can't tell if this is normal or not, but it sounds pretty suspect.

• Bluscreen question on Satellite A100

  Hello
  I just both a Satellite A100 - 788, 8 of 10 times when I'm playing something in media player, I get a blue screen with a message about a problem with a file called aativvaxx.dll... IPF in nonpage area... I tried to find a newer driver for the 1400 X ATI card but I have found none.
  Help, please!
  Thanks in advance,
  Eugen

  Hello

  Did you mean the ativvaxx.dll?

  I found a useful page that provides unique .dll files:
  http://www.afreedll.com/dll/info/ativvaxx_dll.html

  You can try to download this file and could replace the old version with the version you downloaded.
  But you should first check if the downloaded file is a newer version and a backup of the file before you replace it with a new copy.

  But in general, you should always use the graphics driver from the Toshiba page.
  If you want to use a different drivers, you can do so at you own risk.

• Questions on Satellite A100-787 - USB over current on HC/Port USB

  It me not allow Windows to connect. Hope someone has a solution for this error.

  Hello

  Believe me; I see this error message for the first time.
  This certainly isn't a simple error due to software problem, but I think there might be something wrong with the hardware.

  But before you contact the ASP in your country, you should check this:

  If you are not able to boot in windows, so why you n t try to reinstall the operating system?
  Try to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD and check if it of possible to reinstall Windows.
  In addition I recommend access to the BIOS and try to pass the default BIOS settings.

• A few questions about Satellite A100

  "A100" computer laptop with Vista A software? Â £349.00

  This is the laptop that I am looking for my partner, but I'm not really savvy, I have a few questions which I hope you can help me with computer.

  First of all, my partner has just started a small business and she will need it for email and internet surfing and download songs (Please keep in mind, I don't have a lot of money to play with) this laptop will be all good for her? Speed and a lot of memory is not what really matters.

  Secondly, this laptop can burn music and DVDs on a disc?

  Third, it is a good price? the laptop is for sale with LITTLEWOODS and I can still go down 10%.

  Please help as soon as possible because I need to order it in the next few days, please, do not forget to budget and the need for a half decent mid-range laptop.

  Mant thanks for your help in this matter

  Russell

  Hi Russell,

  From your description of the use to which this laptop will be, I would have no concern that this should work great. You say exactly what A100 model you propse to buy, but I think they all had an optical drive DVD - RW installed so that they should all be able to burn CDs and DVDs in an adequate way. With regard to Internet access and e-mail, the A100 will be quite able to do both functions.

  A £349 price is extremely competitive, given that most of the models seem to retail at around the label has £400 with a 10% discount axtra I would waste no time in pulling it.

  By the way, welcome to the forum, it is an excellent source of information and help.

  Kind regards

• Behavior strange screen on my Satellite A100

  Hello

  I have an A100-SK8. It is 18 months old. However, a year ago, he developed a problem with the screen. About once every 2 weeks while using the PC, the top quarter of the screen suddenly develops multicolor and several veins going horizontally across the screen. If I stopped or put the PC mode 'sleep' and then turn it back on, the lines disappear.
  I didn't take take it back to the retailer as I bought the PC in the Canada and live in the United Kingdom and also because it is relatively easy to 'fix' and doesn't happen often is not really bother me that much, however, it would be nice to fix it properly.

  Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Don't you think re - install the driver the monitor it will solve?

  I am posting this now, but I came across this forum recently.

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Hello Dev

  To be honest, it will be very interesting to see what it looks like. Anyway, it is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but if you use Toshiba designed really display driver, I don't think it's because of software. Some hardware, it must be related issue.

  I recommend you to check if the warranty is still valid and let the service do a few tests. They have special tools to display and check the graphics card and if there is something wrong, it will be repaired. Please do not wait too long. When the warranty time will be on each repair can be quite expensive.

  All you can do now is to back up your data and install the OS using a supplied recovery media and test it with the factory settings.

  The cd-burner in my Satellite A100-097 drive begins to age, burns can sometimes fail, sometimes cannot even read simple audio cds.

  Can someone tell me if I can replace it with a new and where to find it, finally?

  Thank you
  Andrea

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

  Manual of use you should find some details about compatible readers and supported
  Check it out
  If you have no user manual then go to the Toshiba European page to download.

• Strange behavior USB Flash Drive Satellite A100-626

  Hello

  I did install Windows Vista Business Edition on my Satellite A100-626 (PSAA9) following the instructions provided in the Web page of drivers.

  So far, everything works as expected, except for one little (or no) question.

  When I ask Vista to 'Remove hardware safely' my USB Flash drive, a Popup appears telling me to remove it. So far, so good :D

  The only thing is that the flash player is not put out as could be expected and and yellow question mark appears in Device Manager.

  Opening of the question mark can read what follows:

  "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been developed to remove safely, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) To resolve this issue, disconnect the device from your computer and plug it in again. »

  Following the instructions above, the light turns off, lol...

  Someone else met this strange behavior? If so, any solution?

  I tried a few USB flashes that run well on XP and they both do the same thing.

  Thank you, Nuno!

  Hi Nuno

  It's very strange. I have the Satellite A100-504 (comes with Windows XP Home edition). Last week, I installed Vista and all the stuff followed Toshiba document instructions facilities. I use the mouse wireless, external HDD USB web cam. With the help of these external devices together I never noticed a similar behavior.

  You have the same situation with all the USB ports?

• Not possible to burn a DVD on the Satellite A100-338 using Windows DVD Maker

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100. I'm trying to burn a DVD using Microsoft Windows DVD Maker and a Sony DVD - RW. The laptop has a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA device.

  When I try to burn a DVD, a progress bar appears and is about 2% before the hanging.

  I also tried to format the DVD first, and which is progressing well before coming up with an error message saying that the drive could not be formatted.

  Anyone got any ideas? Am I missing something completely obvious?

  Hello

  the following things could probably help you with your problem:

  -> control if a new BIOS for your machine and a new FIRMWARE update for your DVD player are available. Update the BIOS and the player firnware
  -> use another applications burning like Nero, CDBurnerXP or other thing that is usually know work well with almost all DVD - RW readers out there
  -> use a DIFFERENT brands of DVD media because the carpet * a readers are really picky

  If all these steps fail, then it is possible that your drive is defective and must be replaced.

  See you soon

• Punkbuster Satellite A100-192 - Call of Duty 4 - questions

  I bought call of duty 4 for play online and I m unable to play due to problems with the punkbuster client.
  PunkBuster installs with the game itself, but the service does not start.
  He thought maybe something to do with the game, so I decided to try another game which uses punkbuster. I decided to try America s army (aa was chosen because it's free) and the same problem occurred. PunkBuster service has not started.

  I ve started looking for solutions and I've tried a good number of them.
  I first thought that maybe kaspersky 6 is causing the problem so I deleted (first time I stopped it, not help) and did a clean install of the game. That did not help either.
  Then I thought that maybe it's my network device causing this (Scientific - Atlanta Webstar 2000 cable modem), nope.
  Maybe my network device I use 2 days a week (even if it was obvious that this was not the problem)... zyxel P-660HW-D3 (adsl router). Nothing has changed.

  I used the punkbuster web ticket to send them a query, but after three weeks, there is still no response.

  Other things I've tried (without success):
  -tried to fix punkbuster, in which case the punkbuster has been broken, with the latest version of pbsetup.exe from evenbalance site, also tried to repair with pbsvc.exe
  -clean installation (a clean install in fact because I used youruninstaller 2008 to uninstall the previous installation) of the game without the punkbuster, new installation of the punkbuster, added play in manually.
  -tried to run punkbuster from inside, the game using the console

  Is my model s Toshiba Satellite A100-192 and its system requirements are:
  Intel dual core 2.0 GHz
  1.5 GB OF RAM
  Mobility radeon ATI x 1600 (256 MB)
  etc...
  Running Windows XP home SP2
  Basically, the games work very well in single player mode (bright cod4 settings means, aao) is not a sort of plug system problem.

  My guess is that somehow punkbuster service conflicts with some Toshiba Utilities and therefore does not start.

  If you please try to use punkbuster as search mode client in any search engine and you will find several tips on does not work/client punkbuster. Because of this I really do not think that it has something to do with the Toshiba laptop.

  To be honest, your question is for the support of Activision.

• Question about the Installation of XP on Satellite A100-307

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-307 with problems to install Windows XP. Model PSAA9E-11F03XFR

  The recovery CD is lost and I installed the laptop with a normal CD of Windows XP (sp2).

  During the Installation of the monitor is black.

  The Installation is without possible recovery CD?

  I created an Nlite CD with XP, but the SATA controller not found or the breaking of the Installation.

  Help me, please.

  Vtobi

  Hello

  essentially it s possible to install an of a real CD of XP/Vista OS, I think that this is the reason why Toshiba provides drivers on their driver download site.

  How do you mean that the screen remains black? More precisely, the description would be better...
  Another question: what SATA controller did you slipstreamed on the XP CD? I hope that you´re to the topic the A100 has an older controller (should be an ICH7M).
  By the way: have you ever seen this Toshiba document? : http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm

• Re: Satellite A100-803 - CPU Upgrade question

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-803 at the moment. There is an Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 inside and it is a bit slow. Also, it does not support VT - x extensions.

  My idea is to build a simple hobby-server which should run Gentoo with Xen on it. I can buy an Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, but there are two things I'd like to know.

  1 the bios does support the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?

  > 1. The bios supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  It is not known to me, but you should check if the chipset supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600. If the chipset does not support this CPU you can not use this CPU in your A100. But if the chipset would support the new CPU then you ve good chances to use this component.

  > 2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?
  Hmm, that's a good question; as far as I know the BIOS must support the feature VT - x to use it of course the CPU must support this too so I think that VT - x should be available if the update for Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 would be successful

• Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

  Hi all

  as you can see I have 3 questions:

  1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

  2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

  3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

  Help is welcome!

  Hello

  For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

  -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

  --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

  -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

  I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-003: Questions on keyboard

  Two questions:

  1. What is the product of my keyboard type and computers laptop Toshiba have the same?

  2. can I have my extra keyboard buttons in a Linux system? (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon)

  (1) the satellite A100 was equipped with a keyboard that supports 86 keys; 2 Windows keys and 1 shortcut key.
  Seems that the A100 series was equipped with this keyboard

  (2) I assume you mean the keys FN and Toshiba control buttons.
  Well, if you want to use these buttons, you will need a compatible driver from Toshiba.
  The fact is that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn't provide drivers for Linux distribution. This is why you will not be able to use these keys running Linux.

  Good bye
