  Yes. It is possible to upgrade your Equium up to 2 GB, but you must use compatible memory modules.
  Module 1 GB compatible for your old Equium has PA3411U-1M1G part number.

• Equium A100 - unable to boot from the bootable disc

  Equium A100-549

  My son s partner has a 2 year old Toshiba which has become slow over time. I had done a backup of the system with office installed etc using Acronis. Anyway, decided to rid running Acronis and recorded image. The program runs normally, and he falls down to a denial of service as the ready to restore screen. It is then with the cursor flashing as usual and then it crashes, and doesn't allow you to access the image.

  I am that it can be altered, so reinstalled Acronis. Make an Acronis boot disk to run the image, and he does not take into account the disk boots directly to the normal hard drive (IDE 0) still no joy. Then I tried the restore of laptops disc. In the BIOS, I said peripheral CD as everything first and also the restore disc says place in the drive and turn off.

  While it starts up press F12, which brings a menu allowing you to boot from the CD drive. I did, but it doesn t appear to look at the CD and just load windows from the HARD drive. I removed the CD for system devices and rebooted. He found and added the new device to herself and asked to reset. Still no joy!

  Scanned with Norton, but still not good. Norton removal. The result is the same. Able to read the CD and also write to it as well. Diagnosis Toshibas ran on the unit and everything seems ok with it.

  Tried to make a bootable flash stick on floppy, but it is ignored, well specified the amorçage using other devices.
  Basically, it seems that I can t get it to watch prior CD onto the HARD drive.

  Flashing the BIOS would heal it? -Registry error causes this?

  Y at - it everywhere where I can talk to someone from Toshiba about this?

  Any info / help much appreciated

  Hello Nick

  Put the delivered device DVD recovery DVD and turn on the laptop. Press the C button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. This will force the DVD player to read the DVD, and I hope that you will be able to use the DVD of recovery for the installation of the OS.

  If possible, test it with some other bootable CD installations. Please post the results.

• Equium A100 - 306 PSAABE - cannot start and the error of the BIOS

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-306, which does not go beyond the BIOS screen. Last thing I did was delete the second partition on the hard drive and the boot configuration Winodws via DVD. Then he stopped display

  If I hit ESC on the post screen, I get a screen that says this: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g232/Medabot_Metabee/BIOS_ERR.jpg

  Ive read that theres a method of emergency crisis of flashing, is possible to run it on this laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  This looks like a malfunction of the motherboard, you can enter in the setup of the BIOS for example? If Yes, load default settings then save & exit it.

  If you can t get into BIOS try remove the battery and the AC adapter at least an hour. Then connect the two again and try to start your laptop.

  He starts correctly now?

• Equium A100 - 338 will not start

  Hello everyone I have an Equium A100-338. I bought it in Ireland a little one there.
  Well although it is just out of warranty and it won't start.
  The blue light comes on and the hard drive light comes on for a second, and nothing happens.

  I tried to disconnect the battery a few times. Would not at all light up the screen.
  I plugged the machine on an external monitor but not luck.

  Suggestions people?

  A new motherboard is a part of portable more expensive so buying a new motherboard is always a costly affair.
  Maybe you should look for some motherboards of second hand on Ebay

• Equium A100-338 has started to go very slow after using the recovery CD

  I used the recovery CD after my Equium A100-338 has started to go very slow, it still seems slower than it used to be.
  I haven't added anything to the computer from the CD recovery and verified the Manager tasks to see if I could spot anything suspicious.

  Statistics say, use 18-22% CPU, but the physical memory is about 68% is this normal or should it be less?

  Is there a list of standard processes I can check against mine to see if its doing something, it shouldn't be?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you feel that unity is a bit slow due to the high amount of different processes that run in the context of the BONE.

  The fact is that your laptop supports various features such as buttons FN, Toshiba control buttons, etc.
  All this has needs drivers.

  In addition, as I m not wrong the Norton Internet Security has been installed on your system.
  It s part of the image of Toshiba and this tool could affect the performance of the system.

  I have used in the past, but now changed to another application that doesn t need a lot of material resources.

  So if you want you can disable or delete some of the tools and utilities that are not important to you and could clean the system using a 3rd third party tool called CCleaner

• Equium A100 Win XP PSAABE - Sound Jittery & slow start / running

  Equium A100
  PSAABE
  Windows XP

  Help please.

  I had a recurring injury that have begun to appear immediately after a Windows update Auto + reboot.
  Stutters sound on the PC (on any application) and is very nervous and the PC starts and runs very slowly.
  Anti-Virus Protection of Norton Protection Auto turns red (not sure of how it is important).

  Apparently, this American a not uncommon problem, but alas, I still have to find a thread that solves it.

  The way I used to work around the problem was to do a restore to an earlier date - which seemed to fix the problem for a few weeks.
  The problem started the summer and one for an update around October time, I found a restore wouldn't simply clear the problem.

  I have to adopted many solutions/suggestions as possible - sorting on the start-up procedure (MSCONFIG), the temptation of power, completely caught Norton off the coast (not), topped up audio drivers, re-flashed the bios...

  However, I am convinced the problem is with windows - when the PC starts I get really nervous sound on the windows welcome jingle - it comes before anything else does - looks like something is in the running.

  The PC was fine before that, I ran all the checks hardware/memory and all seem to work well.

  Any help gratefully received.

  Thank you

  Derek

  Very well!!! The great work mate!

• The speakers click when the fan starts and stops Equium A100-147

  I recently bought the 100-147 satellite and noticed that a click comes from the speakers (or headphones or external speakers) when the fan starts up and even when the fan stops. Sometimes it s quite remarkable, other times not so remarkable.

  Everyone can hear that click? If it's normal, I can live with that, otherwise I will return it for repair. Any comment please?

  In addition, it seems slow at startup and shut down. Put into service takes 2 minutes and 35 seconds, and stop to 33 seconds. Is this normal bearing in mind, it is running MCE? I have loaded additional software such as Itunes, Nero, Office 2000, Photoshop 5.0 etc.

  Thank you for reading.

  Clicking noise when the fan starts or stops turning is not uncommon. On my satellite a similar sound will appear when the fans begin to turn or the HARD disk starts to spin.
  Then worry about don t, I think its OK.

  The start-up procedure can take several times when a lot of applications and software to load at the beginning. Equium A100 seems to be one of the newer laptops, and I assume that different applications Toshiba load at the beginning.
  Also an Antivirus applications could extend the startup procedure.

  You might try testing something. Disable the antivirus of loading at the beginning and check if the laptop will start faster.

  It s even with stops. All background processes that are run in the context of the operating system should be closed until the laptop shuts down completely.

• Equium A100-027: unable to connect to D - LINK 514 router via WiFi with Vista

  I HAVE PROBLEM WITH MY TOSHIBA EQUIUM A100-027 MOBILE TO CONNECT THE ROUTER D-LINK 514. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA ON MY LAPOP.

  I can't get the laptop to connect to my network using its internal wireless card. He's going to detect it but when I click on connect I am presented with "Windows cannot connect to the network.

  SOMEONE CAN ME SAY THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t think it is a hardware problem and therefore, you should check your access point and the configuration of the WLan card.
  Did you use a WLan encryption, Mac address filtering?
  If so, disable encryption on the WLan router and try to connect to the network without additional security settings.

  If it will work and you can successfully connect to the WLan and then the problem was caused by incorrect security settings.

  Please check!

• Vista Equium A100-027: start Wireless connection switch

  Whenever I turn on the machine it powers upward normally, but I find that the network connection has not been made. When I check, I think that the light on the wireless switch does not light even if the switch is in position "on" where I left it.

  I have the wireless switch and the new and the light and the machine connects. You have to do with the wireless switch whenever you turn on the machine? Certainly it should connect automatically if left in position one.

  Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my laptop equium A100-338, the answer to your question is Yes, the light should come back on after restart or boot closure like mine to do this, but now it is a very annoying task that I have to keep flicking the switch off then on again to get a connection.

  I'm sorry I can't be of any help on how to get the light stays on has im still waiting for an answer to this.

• Equium A100-063 - keyboard is not recognized

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Equium A100-063 (PSAAQE-00G006IT).
  The keyboard does not work, the usb keyboard does not work even in the bios.
  I disassembled the PC and unplugged the keyboard but does not work (even in bios).
  I formatted the PC and even the on-screen keyboard does not make me see the letters on the buttons.
  I searched on all sites of the Toshiba driver or bios update for this but found nothing.

  Can you help me?

  It is not easy getting started with comments. As you know on this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  If the keyboard does not work you must replace it with a new one.

  When you say that the keyboard is not recognized even in the BIOS doesn't mean that the keyboard is not recognized in Windows?
  External keyboard is connected with a USB cable?

• Re: Very bad sound on Equium A100

  Hello. I have an Equium A100 with sound problems. The best I can describe it, but it sounds like a Dalek.
  I am running Xp pro. I uninstalled and re installed the driver several times in the hope that would sort, but that did not work.
  Anyone got any ideas?

  Thanks in advance.

  Before starting to discuss your problem please post what model of laptop you have exactly (A100-xxx) and what operating system you use.

  By the way: this A100 is old enough and, if I m remembering well, some of them were shipped with Windows XP Media Center Edition. I assume that with original preinstalled OS sound must be OK. Can you confirm this?

• Equium A100 how to remove BIOS password?

  Hi all

  Following a previous thread on failure of screen on my Equium A100,
  Any member does know how to remove the BIOS password on this computer.

  My problems with the black screen syndrome seem to start at the time asked me to put a BIOS password. I managed to get some information indicating "press ESC and start together and then press F1 '-it seemed to work once, but then I couldn't repeat the sequence, the computer just started directly in windows.

  Any ideas on how to remove the BIOS password. (I don't know the password!)

  Hello

  The BIOS password can be removed ONLY by a certified maintainer Toshiba in your country.
  It's the type of security that can be removed simply by authorized technician

  Therefore, get in touch with the local ASP to get rid of this password.

• Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

  Hello

  I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
  The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

  Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
  Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

  I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
  The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

  These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
  Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
  These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

  Any help members would be welcome.

  > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
  For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help
  But try to update the display driver
