Water spilled on my Satellite A100-680

Hey!

I have an old (well okay, for me) veeeery Satellite A100-680, it's almost 6 years, and for about a year now it did not work properly. Whenever I look at a video on youtube which is longer than 5 minutes, it crashes.

It's one of the problems - but I accidentally spilled perhaps half a teblespoon CLEAR WATER on the keyboard, and I took out the battery as fast as I could and started wipeing with a tissue.

Then I tried with a blowdrier before I put it in the Sun to dry and now it is completely dry, but the keyboard still does not - I'm writing with another keyboard that I have connected to the laptop. But still, he supported his own letters and for example when I press BACKSPACE it presses ENTER.

The carpet of mouse, or what you call does not work either and when I start the computer it said something about does not connect with the Intel prosessor.

If I ruined my computer for good, or can I do?

To me, it seems that the parts are damaged: keyboard and touchpad.
Maybe the spilled water caused some shortcuts that has damaged the connection between the Council and the parties or parts

Not sure if one only keyboard and touchpad replacement may help you resolve this problem. In the worst case, the motherboard needs to be replaced, but only a technician can provide the answer to this question once the equipment has been tested and verified

  • Unposted on Satellite A100-680 mass storage controller

    Hello
    I have a Satellite A100-680 (PSAA9E) that has worked, XP Home, for about two years. Very satisfied!
    I decided to upgrade to Vista Business, which worked very well (actually impressed by the ease of installation).

    The machine works perfectly, there is only one irritating factor - under Device Manager - other devices I have something called mass storage controller and is not a driver loaded. I tried to locate one, but I have no idea of what to look for.

    Vista at one point suggested some Texas Instrument PCI device, but... Let me this way... Fortunately I have not reinstall because I had made a backup of the disc image.

    Can anyone give me a tip that I should look for.
    Thanks in advance

    Really nice, your installation of Win Vista worked all right.
    For this device not recognized, I also think it's the Texas Instrument card reader.

    Go: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    And download the Flash Media Driver and maybe the SD memory Format. Install them, reboot and the unit must be installed without any problem.

  • Satellite A100-680: PnP BIOS Extension missing driver

    I searched for about one hour now, other threads from reading and the search manually through the database of the driver, but I can't find any useful information.

    As you can see from the following screenshot...
    [http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/3171/prtscr2.jpg]
    ... I am missing a driver.

    I'm sure that the driver is listed, but it can also be saved under another name. This isn't something I'm infamiliar of searched a lot on other sites (Acer, HP, etc.) for drivers of other computers in my work.

    Anyway.
    The reason why this driver is missing on my * Satellite A100-680 * is that my antivirus detects it as a keylogger. This is not the first time that this happens, and I can easilly restore virus vault if I want to. However, this is something I really wish to do.

    This problem also occurred with some of my audio drivers earlier, as well as the driver associated with TOSHIBA Hotkey functions. (Solved).

    In order to check for me if my antivirus detects a false positive or not, I would like to find the driver and install it.
    If after this my antivirus detects it as a keylogger, it was just all along.
    If it detects it as a keylogger, I treat the result as a false positive and add it to the white list.

    My Toshiba is a Satellite A100-680, running Win XP Home edition.
    The version of the BIOS is "Phoenix Technologies LTD. 1.70, 11.05.2006" (from msinfo) (whether this info is helpful at all is beyond me...)
    SMBIOS version 2.31 (new msinfo.)

    If you need additional information in order to help me, please indicate what information you need.

    Have you tried to remove this device in the Device Manager list and restart the laptop?
    Try this! After restarting again the operating system must search for the driver and must be reinstalled this device automatically.

    By the way: Satellite A100-680 belongs to the PSAA9E series.
    The European driver Toshiba page provides up-to-date BIOS 6, 00 - WIN for this device
    Recommends the installation of the Modules common to XP and BIOS update.

  • Keyboard problem after a drink spilled on my Satellite A100

    I accidentally deleted drink in my laptop A100. now the ENTRY and H keys do not work correctly.

    How can I fix it?
    Help, please.

    I don't have repair shop in my area.

    Hi Janet,.

    Unfortunately, the only way to repair your laptop will replace the keyboard. Generally all the liquids that enter the keyboard leave a residue which shorts the contacts inside and makes one or more of the unusable keys.

    Fortunately, the new keyboards are not that expensive to buy and are also relatively easy to replace. See instructions here:-http://www.irisvista.com/

    Kind regards

  • Keyboard Satellite A100-906 after spilled drink

    Hello

    I am owner of a Satellite A100-906 and I spilled liquid on the keyboard.
    As I read on the official website of the product, the keyboard is the spill-resistant.
    If I have understood correctly, the keyboard is covered by the warranty in case of spilled liquid.
    Is this fair?

    Thanks in advance,

    Maria

    Hello

    I think you had something misunderstanded:

    The keyboard is resistant to the spill, but that doesn´t means that it keeps water away from the machine. After checking Asian toshiba website, I found the following description:

    "A keyboard resistant splashes that increase the protection of the system by providing users with enough time to save their work and shut down the system in the case of a spill;

    That means the keyboard prevents only the liquids to invade quickly into the machine, but that doesn´t means that the keyboard is covered by the warranty after any spillage of liquids on your machine.

    Welcome them

    P.s.: That all means you will be charged for repair...

    If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

    Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  • Satellite A100-207 - \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt

    Hello

    Can someone help me with the following problem. With regard to a Toshiba Satellite A100-207 with windows XP media edition

    When starting the laptop hangs with error * \windows\system32\config\system is corrupt *.

    This article is the closest to the problem http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307545. but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

    I have lost the disc of recovery (recently).
    But were able to boot the laptop from USB using a cutter (lite) version of windows.

    The scene in the article copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system fails because the file does not exist (the other files do however).

    In this folder there is a system.bak, this would solve the problems like the laptop boots windows logo screen then after 5 minutes restarts and just go around and around a certain extent.

    There is also a file system.sav in the folder windows\system32\config using this all goes someway to to solve the problem, the laptop restarts and resumes product set-up with off course fails has so I don't have the recovery disk.

    I would be grateful if someone could help with the problem

    Regards Garry

    > but the warning in the article on the point is not to use with circumspect OEM on more facilities of he made me.

    You can ignore this warning, you have no other choice than to try to fix this system following the article in the Microsoft Knowledge base.

    But to be honest, I doubt that the system would run smoothly after this work around.

    I would recommend the new installation of the OS.
    If you don t have a Toshiba Recovery disk, you can use a Microsoft Disk to reinstall the system. Essential drivers are available Toshiba driver Web site.

  • Toshiba Satellite A100-683 - display resolution of 1280 x 800

    Hallo,

    I just had an upgrade from Windows Xp to Windows 7.

    I downloaded and installed all the drivers for this model of Toshiba web site, including the ATI mobility radeon X 1600 driver and the Mobile Intel (r) 945 GM Express Chipset controller 0.

    Later, while trying to set the resolution of the screen, I realized that I could only choose between 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, but I don't know that before the operation I could put also the resolution of 1280 x 800 (maximum display resolution). In fact, the display resolution was much better than now.

    Can you help me please? How can I return to the maximum display resolution?

    Thank you very much in advance and greetings.

    Antonio

    Once more here to add some details: I tried to install the ATI mob. rad + Nvidia drivers, which can be downloaded from this site for Satellite A100-683 + windows 7 display.
    The second (Nvidia) seems to be the right one, as stated in the description (improves the features of the screen and allows different settings, etc.), but it doesn't seem to work.

    Any help? Thanx
