  Dear all,

  Satellite A200-1z3

  I have the same problem as many of you already described here. After downgrading from Win XP, I discovered this part of the features enabled by the FN key don't work, for example FN + F2 FN + F6, FN + F7, FN + F8, FN + F9, FN + F12, FN + 1, FN + 2, FN + TAB.

  I read in this forum and found that you can solve this problem be reinstall BIOS. When I tried to download BIOS on site it requires Pass and Login which I don't have. If you have any suggestions to download it from there?

  If not, how I can activate keboard light FN + F2 and the scroll Lock FN + F9 without button FN button.

  Thank you very much

• Require BIOS 1.8 for Satellite A200 - 13M (PSAE6) - fan activity

  Hi you all,.

  I've recently updated my Satellite A200 - 13 M (PSAE6) with 2, 20 - Win Vista bios.
  I have a higher activity of the fan and therefore, much more noise!
  The fan now comes 47-48 ° C, which is lower than earlier (~ 50 ° C).

  I would go back to the previous version of bios that proved be smoother!
  Could someone help me get the version 1, 8 - Win vista.

  What are the main changes from v1.8 v2.2 except the most aggressive fan control?

  Kind regards.

  Hi, Maxim

  In my opinion, the cooling modules run more strong and faster to prevent the internal hardware for example the GPU and the CPU from overheating.
  To me, it seems that fan chart that is stored in the BIOS has been updated and this is why the propellers rotate faster for the reason mentioned above

  The driver Toshiba offer page only the most recent BIOS updates BIOS old versions are not available on the site and I think you need to contact your ASP local for a BIOS more soon.

  Unfortunately, I put t see any other opportunities to get an older version BISO, different for you notebook series.

• Satellite A200 - fan works too

  Hello

  I will present my problem briefly to you in the hope that I can find a solution.

  I work with recording music. My Satellite A200 can handle the processor high and all the rest. I'm really very happy.

  But the fan works just too well even when CPU is not used much. I installed The Ultimate Troubleshooter (excellent software) in order to eliminate unnecessary software or process. My RAM is 73% free, low 0-10% CPU and my fan speed is measured at 47 degrees Celsius. My hard drive is 33 degrees Celsius. Very low.

  The boring bit, is that my fan is behaving intermittently, but even when nothing is really happening, and the temperature is still very low. I have another laptop to compare to, which is quiet and peaceful in the other corner of the room and only takes action when I activate several operations at once. I wish my Satellite to behave in a similar way.

  I cleaned the fans today, and a lot of dust came out. But still the fan curve. I tried to take control using SpeedFan 4.43, but it does not work. I don't see anywhere in the BIOS how I could control the speed of the fan.

  I need to find a solution, ideally one that doesn't involve buying a new fan, or disassemble the computer. Since the temperature is right at all times, I guess it's just the BIOS programming for constant speed activity that must change. Any suggestions? It would be appreciated.

  All the best, Shlomi.

  Hi shlumaan_1,

  > I cleaned the fans today
  How did you do that? Did you follow the instructions?
  How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system?

  There are different reasons for activity high fan and dust that blocks the fan, the thermal paste should be renewed, etc..

  Fact is that the fan will be controlled automatically to protect the equipment from overheating. What you can do is chancing the cooling method in Windows power management. I put t know what operating system you use but on Vista and Windows 7, open the power management options, change the parameters of the plan, cooling method. You can change between maximum performance and battery optimized. I would recommend setting the optimised battery.

  Also, check the BIOS version. If you have an older version, probably thermal management has been changed with a new version of the BIOS. Update the BIOS that you find on the official website of Toshiba.

  Finally, and especially if your laptop probably has a few years, that the thermal compound must be renewed. This is why I would contact an authorized service provider that will apply the correct thermal grease and also the laptop must be disassembled. Not so easy

• Could not load the BIOS after RAM upgrade - Satellite A200

  Hello

  I've updated my RAM memory on my laptop Thishiba Satellite A200 (from 2 GB to 4 GB) but unfortunately now I can't enter the BIOS. Automatically load the operating system (windows 7 64 bit).

  How can I solve my problem?

  P.S. The new RAM works perfectly and it is recognized by Windows 7.

  Post edited by: bennito

  I don't know what you've done and why this happens, but what you can do is to check if the quick start option is enabled.
  Open Toshiba Assist > optimize > HWSetup > priority Boot and check the startup speed option it.
  Remember that it is set to Normal.

  Please, check and send comments.

• Updated BIOS (Insyde H20) BACK - Satellite A300-24 X

  Hello

  I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 24 X WITHOUT an operating system preinstalled.

  I'm using Linux and I want to update my BIOS to version 1.8 and 1.9 through a utility BACK/FreeDOS.

  The main problem is that the BIOS flash utility runs only on Windows OS.

  Why Toshiba does not provide the utility flash BACK for those who have bought a laptop without Windows operating system and want to or need to upgrade the BIOS without buy/install the Windows operating system only for these purposes?

  Is it possible to update my BIOS (Insyde H2O) with some flashing BACK?

  Kind regards
  Zarko

  Hello

  You can update the BIOS by using the diskette, but you would need an update of the traditional BIOS.
  But the fact is that ONLY focused on the victory of BIOS is available on the Toshiba page and it can be updated only the execution of a Windows operating system.

  But as far as I know the local ASP (certified partner) in your country could update the BIOS by using a floppy disk.

  So, if you need updated BIOS to day and don t have installed the Microsoft Windows operating system then you will need to contact the guys ASP.

• Satellite A200-1N7: activity 2, 10 - WIN fan of Bios

  Hi all

  I know already what the problem discussed with high activity fan in bios 2.10 - WIN. But I have yet to find any solution.

  Model: A200 1N7
  OS: Windows Vista 32 b

  Is a solution how to speed down the fan or reduce the activity of the fan?
  TOSHIBA Power saver does not exist for this model and Vista.

  Is it possible to downgrade to the previous version of the bios? Where to find it?

  Thank you very much.
  JK.

  In my opinion the Toshiba engineers have changed some values in the BIOS and the cooling fan works now often than before. In my opinion, it is not any kind of problem. Maybe we can set it as the type of BIOS update of side effect.

  Watch tool exist in Vista too but it is not easy to find because it is not designed as before as Windows XP Home edition. Please check the method of cooling sub - Panel control system & maintenance Power Startup Options? Select a settings change plan Plan to modify the Toshiba Power Saver V.xxx cooling method advanced power settings.

  Test it with optimized battery option. I use the same option on my P200 and he cooling fan is much easier. I also use power BALANCED with reduced brightness profile. Try to do the same thing.

• Update BIOS password on the Satellite P200

  Hello

  I had a model number P200 laptop computer satellite PSPB6E-03G02TEN fongr in the last two months.

  On the navigation of the Toshiba support and dowloads I looked up my model etc number to see what that downloads were available. Is he saying there were several updates and the other that it was an update of the bios. As the current bios was for 2007 and it was for 2008, I thought I might as well upddate.

  Being a beginner and not realizing how the bios is on a computer - and there is nothing to say it needed an expert--I have conclusive to download.

  I thought it was going well and he came to my computer to restart. However, when it happened it says it need a password and did doesn't have a clue what they were talking about. The recovery disk has failed.

  I contacted Toshiba and I now have to take the laptop to a Toshiba service repairman here in Poole, Dorset.

  I am now worried in case I've done something that invalidate my warranty.

  Why Toshiba do not send these updates if they can do this damage in inexperienced hands. I'm angry at myself and would not have hit with a barge pole if I had know the importance of the bios. I know that I will never touch it again.

  Would appreciate some sympathy.

  Katymay

  Hello

  I understand your situation. You´re worried but not just for you, also about Toshiba why they release these updates for important parts of a computer that do not work correctly.
  Don t worry, you do nothing wrong. Your warranty would be invalid after that. The repair will be covered by the warranty of your machine and after that nothing cannot be revoked or not valid. So Don t worry, the guys in the shop/repair service center will fix this and I hope that you´re not worried to do a BIOS update next time.

  I promise you it happened only once and you don t have doubts if it will never happen. I mean, I have computers laptop toshiba for years and I have never such problems. With this bios password, I found a big problem the first time Toshiba and I hope that they won´t remake such a failure.

  Welcome and good weekend

• Satellite A200 - cannot downgrade the BIOS to v2.40

  Please help me.

  I bought a brand new toshiba Satellite A200 series laptop with vista home premimum inside.

  For some reason, I'm not a fan of big vista.
  So I lowered my XP OS and as I was looking for pilots and all this for XP I saw an update of the Bios for my laptop it's 5.20 which was for XP. Although for Vista its 2.40 as per mentioned on the Web site.

  Now where my problems began.
  I downloaded this v5.20 bios and updated.
  Soon the problems began as laptop is overheated, it freezes and sometimes refuse to give performance.

  As I was unable to find all my drivers for XP I switched to Vista using my recovery DVDs. But the problem remains the same with Vista too, so finally, I took my laptop to a Toshiba Service Center.

  They have said that it is a motherboard problem so they fixed, but they have not set the Bios.
  I still v5.20 on my machine.

  I tried to go down to v2.40 but it always shows an error.

  Can someone help me pls... I am able to boot with a USB but I don't have a version of DOS of Bios v2.40.

  Please if anyone can provide me with my version of the bios.
  I'll be grateful to her for ever.

  Here are my system specs.

  Date 2009-01-26 03:04:19

  [Information on PC]
  Model name Satellite A200
  Part number PSAFCL-01M00P

  Not even this when I buyed the laptop he showed me 749 something like a shared graphics memory now it shows only about 399.

  I know that it is simply because of this update of the Bios.
  Now I am not yet able to play good games.
  This machine is almost useless for me now.

  No help from you people will get.

  I put t know why you want to downgrade the BIOS.
  Have you read the information on the site of Toshiba for BIOS version 5.20? I created this:
  > Support Windows XP and Vista OS

  So I think that you should not downgrade the BIOS. The most recent BIOS 5.20 is for Windows XP and Vista.
  You can find this information on Toshiba Asia because you have the model of Asia (not Europe):
  http://www.PC.Toshiba-Asia.com =>
  Update BIOS version 5.20 Satellite A200 (for the PSAF0-* & PSAFC *-* ONLY)

  The Toshiba Service Center did a good job with the latest BIOS.
