• Satellite A100 BIOS update - BAD CHECKSUM

  I've just updated my BIOS to version 6.0 that TOSHIBA said > 26/11/07 "this Bios update adds functionality to your system: Satellite A100 Toshiba 6, 00 - WIN (PSAAN).»

  My original BIOS was 5.9
  My computer works fine A100-33 but when my computer restarts, showed it to the BLACK screen.

  I noticed that it displays BAD CHECKSUM and suugested I select default BIOS but I * ignored this advice * that wanted this new Version of the BIOS.

  What means BAD CHECKSUM and what effects will have on my computer peformance please if any?

  Under the system information that is displayed for my BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies LTD 6.00, 07/12/2007

  Name of the Microsoft OS? ® Windows Vista Home Basic

  Hello

  Don t worry if the message "bad checksum" will appear only once.

  'Bad checksum' means that the BIOS has been changed, rewritten or settings have been restored by default. Thus, whenever you save your bios settings, bios made a "checksum" to check the next time you start the settings were stored and all goes well. If something is wrong or has been changed, then the checksum stored since the last save a Don t match real new generated checksum.

  So if you make an update of the bios, all your settings will be modified logic - you get an error "Bad Checksum".

  Another reason for such "Bad Checksum" is an empty BIOS stack or a malfunction, so BIOS cannot keep it s settings and you will get every time you start the computer a message "Bad Checksum".

• Satellite A100 - BIOS and Windows does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello, I extend my Satellite A100 laptop BIOS.

  After update, I can't start my laptop and the BIOS will not start.

  You see the Toshiba logo?

  Was there a power failure when you updated the BIOS?

  Try to remove the battery and the adapter and leave for a few hours. You can also try reinstalling the RAM.

  If this does not help, you will need to send it to a Service Center for repair.

• Re: After upgrade on Satellite A100 BIOS cannot use keyboard more

  Need help... after bios upgrade for Toshiba Satellite A100 my keyboard error... now I can't use my keyboard...
  If I used the external keyboard, as there not enough power into the USB...
  Now, how come back to start bios version...

  Thank you or any medium

  Hello

  Enter the BIOS (by pressing F2 at startup) and try to check in the Bios if compatible keyboard, legacy usb support (something like that) is enabled. It should help.
  Otherwise, playing with the up/downgrade Bios (especially, demote) instead of keyboard problem, can cause the crash of the complete system with white screen.

• Satellite A100 - BIOS flash not finished

  My PC is a Satellite A100 PSAANE and after updating the BIOS an error pops up and flash not finished...
  I stop the PC and when I started it don t start

  How do I get back the original BIOS or how kan I do a new update of the BIOS via USB or CD?

  If the BIOS update was not properly finished, I fear you have real problem now and authorized service provider can help with this.
  I guess that you do not start your laptop. Am I right about that?

  Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone. Traditional BIOS update (diskette) doesn't exist for this model of laptop. Sorry :(

• Satellite A100: Bios password appears - what should I do?

  Hello world

  Last year, I bought my toshiba Satellite A100. I never set a Bios password. Today I was working normal. Then I restarted my laptop and got the password.

  Now I can't access my laptop. Is this a common problem? What should I do?

  concerning

  No, this isn't a common problem. It s absolutely impossible that a BIOS password is stated zero part.

  In general, you will need to send the machine to an ASP for the removal of the password, but before you do, I would ask all members of your family who has access to your computer if it has put a bios password and wanted to make a joke (in this case it s not a really nice joke)

• Satellite A100 BIOS password request

  I did a disk check on my Satellite A100, but after the control of what my system is in place with the message "Password".
  There is no password set for the system.
  What should I do?

  Pleas help.

  I agree with Akuma, but I don t understand why Notepad starts with a password prompt.

  What did you do when you said I did a disk check? Have you done a Windows checkdisk?

  However, an ASP (authorized service provider) can remove the password. You can search on the Toshiba site to find an ASP.

• How can I activate the TPM under a Pro (PAASC) Satellite A100 BIOS

  .. .or more precisely is this laptop, a TPM system?

  If this option is not available in the BIOS settings I assume that there is no module TPM on your Satellite Pro laptop.

• Satellite A100 - BIOS password not accepted after computer take part

  (Sorry if this question has been asked before, I searched through topics, but too many subjects was found.)

  I have an old A100 for 3 years with no guarantee. I want to sell it so I took apart to clean dust. Everything for the motherboard. When everything has been cleaned and I reinstalled everything, I turned it on and the password of the BIOS has not been accepted. I know the password and it's OK to 100% and shift lock is not locked on.

  Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly, the cable was - a.f.a.i.k - reinstalled right, because there is only one way to insert into the slot on the motherboard. (Sorry for my bad English)

  Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?

  The caps lock is locking itself led of lights up and can not turn off with the CAPS LOCK key.

  What is the solution?

  > Is it possible that the keyboard flat cable has been installed wrongly,
  Connect the keyboard external usb to check (this is good if you remove the internal keyboard when checking)

  > Or BIOS confused and handed over to zero in some Toshiba service password? Is this possible?
  No, it is impossible that this password has been reset. In any case, I've never heard

• Satellite A100 is locked because of the fingerprint BIOS & user password

  Hi all

  I have my A100 to my work, recognition of the TouchChip fingerprint a year ago. On initial installation, I recorded my fingerprint of the windows interface.
  Six months ago I had to reinstall windows XP due to infection by the virus that is not repairable. I have installed Windows XP Home edition and downloaded all the drivers and additional software from Toshiba's site.

  I him didn't record again my fingerprints, and I have NOT activated the TouchChip software this time. My problem was only an annoying message at the time the sign that said «you have not saved your fingerprint again...» "and that's it.
  After a 2 week out of town trip (My A100 was locked in my office, and powered OFF - no connection to the sector) at first start, software TouchChip is back from the dead!

  Screen 'TouchChip Bios Extension' appeared after plugging, and my finger is required to load WXP!
  When connecting user WXP dialogue the additional message "you have not saved your fingerprint again... is always here, but I cannot start the machine without my fingerprint." After some digging later in PowerProtector (?) I found an option that says 'enable or disable the use of fingerprints for system and user password BIOS' or something like that.

  I turn this off, and the machine asked to reboot. It was the last time I saw the office.
  After reboot, the system asks password. BUT I DID NOT PUT ANY SYSTEM OR USER PASSWORD!
  Is this possible?
  I did something wrong?
  What is the solution?
  I'm locked out; I don't know why and how the BIOS is locked with a password (so I can't unlock it).
  Please someone help.

  Best regards, Georgios

  I don't know what exactly A100 computer laptop you have, but it seems that the laptop came with the Vista operating system preinstalled.

  You have installed XP and drivers XP only from the Toshiba page.
  But from my understanding, the BIOS should be updated too! The Satellite A100 series supports a special XP BIOS version. If the BIOS was not updated the laptop might not run correctly.

  I don't know if it could have a negative influence on the fingerprint, but nothing is impossible!
  However, the fact is that the BIOS asks for the password. If you don't know this, you need to remove the other... and this can be done by a service provider authorized in your country.

  Request assistance from technicians and explain the whole story! Maybe they will remove the password for free!

  Bye and good luck

• TR/agent.1220467 detected as I ran that Satellite A100 PSAA2E BIOS update file

  I was about to update my BIOS Toshiba laptop Satellite A100 PSAA2E on-site official (I downloaded the update file and unpacked to run it):
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_b * ios.jsp? service = EU
  When my antivirus (Avira Antivir Personal) has detected a TR/agent.1220467

  Of course, I stopped everything, asked to remove, Avira have another full scan, it was deleted again and restarted my PC.

  I am always very careful with what I download, but as I trusted blindly the official site of Toshiba as being safe, I don't run a virus scan on the file update and stupidly flat it once it has been downloaded.
  HOW CAN TOSHIBA HAVE INFECTED FILES TO UPDATE HIS SITE? This is really unacceptable.

  And now how I will:
  1. ensure that this virus is gone for good?
  2. switch to update my BIOS knowing that it is not safe to do?

  Please help me!
  .. .and make sure that this file to update the BIOS is not infecting hundreds of other users!

  Hello

  Don t worry buddy there is no virus
  The BIOS file is safe and I guess that your virus scan recognized the file as a virus because of the similar application procedures

  First of all you should not update your BIOS if your laptop works well!

  Second, you must disable all 3 rd party applications like virus, firewall, malware, software software of scans, while the BIOS update!
  These tools can affect or interrupt the process of updating the BIOS and the laptop cannot!

  You know that the update of the BIOS is a sensitive technique and if something goes wrong during the update, then you will not be able to power the device!

• Unknown device on the Satellite A100-153, after BIOS update to 5.1

  Hello

  ACPI-> Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
  ACPI defines hardware and software interfaces that allow focus on the OS configuration and power management to enumerate and configure motherboard devices.
  For example: ACPI is necessary for the standby and hibernation mode.

  Now your question; the new BIOS has been updated and configured to using VISTA.
  It seems that VISTA was not compatible with the previous version of BIOS because the ACPI interface. Now you can install Vista on the laptop, but it seems that you need a driver. Possibly new chipset driver version might help. But as you probably know, the drivers are not available at this time. Unfortunately

• Re: Satellite A100-813 - BIOS reports inserted 3 GB but 4 GB

  Satellite A100-813
  Model No.: PSAA8E

  Recently, my laptop 2 GB memory @ 533 mhz were bad and I decided at this level to 4 GB and carried 2 x 2 GB @ 633 mhz.
  Though according to the instructions in the manual, it supports 4 GB maximum, but my bios shows/3 gb.

  My Windows 7 64 bit, shows 4 gb, but with 3 GB usable.
  Please if someone can help me get all the 4 GB, is there any problem with the highest FSB.

  I thought also of shared video memory, but when only 2 GB is inserted, the bios displays full 2 GB.

  The laptop supports Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset
  The chip supports the 4 GB of RAM.
  Then you should be able to use 4 GB

  What the BIOS update?
  Check this box

  With regard to the recognition of the Windows RAM:
  In msconfig.exe to go to the boot tab, click Advanced Options, make sure that the Maximum memory checkbox is unchecked
