  Hello. I have a Toshiba satellite A100-036 laptop with windows vista home basic 32-bit, and I have the following problems.

  1. they replace me the hard drive in a store. I don't have the Toshiba dvd recovery I used to format the windows. They told me that I can't use it more because the recovery of the disk partition is lost. If I want to format again what should I do?

  2. whenever I turn on the laptop touchpad scrolling does not work. I go to control panel > mouse and it shows me this message: "unable to connect to the score. synaptics device driver. If you have installed another pointing PS/2 device driver please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. You want to uninstall the synaptics driver now? "I click on no and once it works again and the synaptics pointing device icon reappear in the taskbar. If I restart the laptop, it still does not work and I do the same things.

  3. whenever I turn on the laptop the bluetooth does not work and the bluetooth icon does not appear in the taskbar. I have to go to Device Manager, uninstall the driver, go to control panel > bluetooth local com and it works again. Whenever I turn on the laptop I have to do this.

  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.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

• Satellite A100-225 - charging battery problem

  Hi people,

  My Satellite A100-225 can't hold the charge when running. If I use processor heavy applications, the battery will drain in about half an hour and recharge only when the cover is closed (standby mode) or the laptop is turned off.

  When the exhausted battery and the laptop turns off, I have to remove the battery, press the on/off switch, replace the battery, then let it charge for a while before I can use it again.

  The laptop will power any if I remove the battery and the runoff of current alternative.

  I tried a spare battery, but exactly the same thing happens.
  I also updated the Bios with the latest version (6).
  Laptop runs Windows XP Home Edition.
  Laptop is out of warranty.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  See you soon
  Steve

  Looks like a hardware problem. I mean, if your battery runs out when the machine is connected to the pit of the wall adapter (this is what I did not understand), so something in the subsystem of your laptop power goes down.

  Have you ever sent the machine to a partner of service authorized or is the machine still under warranty?

• Satellite A100-225 keeps freezing and crashing with the new HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100-225 with a 100 GB SATA Hitachi drive I int it that recently started showing bad sectors. Then I bought a Hitachi 320 GB SATA II drive to replace it. I tried the drive and it was recognized right away, so I didn't need to change the SATA speed. I ran the restore a disk installed newest. The problem I have is that the computer keeps freezing and crashing with the new drive. It takes a lot of time to load up when turned on and there is a noticeable to untermittant delay when you drag the cards around solo.

  I tried to run the Hitachi drive test and it comes back fine. I also tried to turn the SATA speed of the drive down from 300 to 150 via the firmware, and although I saw a slight improvement, it is still not right.

  I talked to Hitachi and they say that he could not be 100% compatible, so the problems. Someone at - it else sucessfully set up a replacement for this notebook drive and if so what make and model. Has anyone else had simular problems?

  Thank you

  Years ago, I've updated yet more former Satellite M70 with SATA HDD (270 GB if I m remembering well) and everything was fine.
  In my view upgrade with SATA HDD normal shouldn't be a problem. Do not SATA II because it will not work faster.

  I can't say for sure, but there must be a compatibility problem.

  Let's see if someone else had better luck with the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite A100.

  Have you checked this forum with advanced search option? Maybe you can find some old NET on upgrade the HDD on A100.

• Re: How to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300

  I need to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300 because of a problem, I had with it (the computer does not start and the recovery option does not work). It has not come with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  Do I have to get a CD by myself and if so - what version of windows vista is compatible with my laptop?
  (I can not contact the provider because I is not guaranteed).

  > It came not with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  You had an option pre-installed on your laptop that you helped to create the recovery disk. Seems you didn't create this disk in the past

  Well, in this case, you can order the CD here:

• Is there a Bluetooth for Satellite A100-225?

  Hello

  I wonder if a bluetooth module exists for a Satellite A100-225 (PSAA9E series). What model?

  Thank you

  No, unfortunately, this laptop does not support the internal Bluetooth module and it cannot be upgraded with this module.
  If you want to use BT technology, you will need to switch to the external solution.
  Just buy a USB Bluetooth stick. These sticks are simply to use. Just plug in the USB port and configure it.

• Satellite A100-225 has built-in microphone?

  Please some1 tell me if I have built in mic on my computer laptop core duo T2300 Satellite A100-225 1600Ghz.
  I tried to find out if I have a ranging in volume, properties and voices, but without joy.

  I even tried the sound recorder.

  I don't think that. I searched an A100-225 and found this brochure saying he has an external mic port. No mention of a micro internal.

• Need motherboard for Satellite A100-225

  I need a new motherboard for my Satellite A100-225 lappy, please any1 know where I can buy a new motherboard with at a reasonable price.

  She is my lappy model number PSAA9E-03U0IEEN and serial 46083748Q.

  > Please any1 know where I can buy a new motherboard with at a reasonable price?

  The motherboard is one of the expensive parts for laptop and a new motherboard would cost a small fortune! It's so maybe a second hand Council would be a better option
  Why you n t search in Ebay for a 100 of second hand or second hand Board?

  However, if you want to buy a new motherboard, I recommend you with ASP (certified partner) in your country. These guys could order the new motherboard at the Toshiba.

  Good luck

• Fan on the Satellite A100-225

  Two years ago in may, I bought the Satellite A100-225. I have always noticed that it got very warm, but a few months ago it was not a problem. However, a few months ago, it began to overheat during execution of the tasks of joel, but I never thought much about it.

  Then, one a few weeks ago I started my computer to realize that the fan was now only turns not at all, and I have no idea why. I tried to install a new update of the BIOS and check if there is any debris stuck. You can still use it, but only for short periods. However, today when I was about to stop because it was too hot, the fan went on for 3 seconds, then it turns of. He the did not once again even if I leave it at the same temperature.

  I have to buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed.

  Can someone offer me some advice please?

  > Should I buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed

  I think you should first clean the front fan start you away from stocks
  Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent fans turn with maximum performance and this could lead to a higher temperature.

  A use of the spray of compressed air could get rid of the dust and could help with this problem
  But if it doesn t help you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  Guys could check the laptop and could eventually replace the fans.

  The big problem is that the laptop disassembly procedure is very delicate and risky.
  So these replacements should be made only by a technician for laptop.

  Bye and greetings

• Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

  Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

  This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

  Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

  Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

  Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

  Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

  Hello

  Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
  On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

  In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
  If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

  Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

  But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

• Satellite A100-225 "Floating" keyboard

  Hello
  I bought a brand new A100-225 and found that the top row keys - p and the ajoining numbers above seem to drop a little further that other keys and they feel different. Also when I press the seprator - between the F key and numbers, in the middle right of the band, when I press lightly, it makes a grinding sound and down a little.

  Is this normal for this series? Or is there something I should be concerned?

  Thank you

• Need English version of Vista for my Satellite A100

  I bought my computer laptop Satellite A100-999 of Valencia, Spain. I'm from Romania. The seller told me that Windows Vista also has English as language of work. He was wrong. Only for task is English. I have tried many time to switch to English, but I have not found anything. Then... I wonder if someone can lead me somewhere or give me a patch with the English for Windows Vista Home Premium.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Nedelcu

  I'm afraid that you have misunderstood something. The seller probably meant that Vista is also available in English, but you can not switch pre-installed version in each language.
  If you want to have vista on English, you must buy Microsoft facilities to original Vista DVD and do a clean install of the OS.

  All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities on the English version, you can find and download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Bye and good luck!

• FN key does not work under Vista on a Satellite A100-192

  After the key Fn for Vista Installation do not work.
  HotKey Utility and other tools are installed (in recommended order), but when to start Vista displayed the error message: "could not start the HotKey Utility.

  All the other device works.

  Hello Kat

  I have the same laptop. This is the Satellite A100-504 comes with Windows XP Home edition. It is the different number (504) but the same hardware configuration, and the number PSAA9E. I have preinstalled Vista last week successfully and everything works well.

  You use facilities upgrade Toshiba Vista DVD or you own Vista DVD?
  In any case, I installed clean Vista OS (using the facilities of Microsoft CD). After that, I visited the download page of Toshiba and initially downloaded the document called Instructions of facilities.

  Please, do the same and install stuff all listed in the order. It is very important. After this Vista should work well and also all Toshiba designed tools and utilities.

  BTW: standby power utility is not like before as Windows XP Home edition. Laptop uses Vista power settings now.
