Equium A100-549 - no sound

Hi,
I just downloaded the sound driver for Equium A100-549 but my media player still doesn't have any sounds. What can i do?

Hi
You should also check if the Mute was not enabled.
With the key combination FN+ESC you can enable and disable the sound.
Like above suggested check also the sound volume controller. It sounds very silly but many people forget to set it to the higher level.

Equium A100-549 wont boot properly

On the other day, my Equium A100-549 suddenly couldn't be booted. When the power is ON, there is no anything coming out on the screen (totally dark!). I have noticed the hard derive's light is not on, though the other lights are on.
I tried to boot with the recovery CD, but nothing came out, even F12 or "C" was pressed following the power on press.
I am suspecting that there would be a malfunction of the hard drive, but no any experience to judge this.
It would very appreciated for any advice.
Cheers.

I'm sure it's not a HDD malfunction.
If the HDD would malfunction, then you would receive an error message that the OS cannot be booted up or something like that.
If you don't see anything on the display and if the Toshiba splash screen does not appear too, then I??ve got a bad news for you buddy.
In most cases the motherboard fault causes such issue. :(
But this is only a suggestion and maybe you are a lucky guy and a cheaper part instead of mobo could be faulty.
The ASP can answer such questions... therefore my recommendation is to contact the authorized service provider in your country and to ask for the notebook check.
Hope the best...
Best regards

Can I replace graphic card on Equium A100-549

Hi i bought a game on Saturday, or a simulation game, I got home an installed it on my laptop.
The game ran very slow so i removed programs, pics an videos which I don't use, an tried again an there was still luck?
I looked on the web an found that the game runs slow on my card drive.
Can i get a new graphic card for my laptop?
The card i have is ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M SERIES, an the lap top is a Equium A100-549? can anybody help may thanks chris

No, graphic card cannot be replaced on the notebooks.
Mostly the GPU chip is soldered on the motherboard.

Equium A100-147 Virtual Sound reinstall problem

I have read a few posts relating to the same problem I have, but with no definitive answer. I have the Equium A100-147 with Windows XP Media Center. I downloaded some up to date files from the Toshiba site (all for my model), including:
acsil-xpmce-100008-en
assist-xpmce-10300-en
confree-xpmce-59007ab-en
csutil-xpmce-7211006
ctrls-xpmce-3221506-en
display-xpmce-142004543
fmd-xpmce-2004
pcdt-xpmce-321u-en
pwrsav-xpmce-70307i-en
sdform-xpmce-2200-en
sd-secure-xpmce-104-en
sound-xpmce-51005253
toupad-xpmce-10001st-en
and then: tvs-xpmce-10312-en (latest Virtual Sound driver for the A100-147)
I uninstalled the old version of the Virtual Sound driver before attempting to install the new one. But as I have seen elsewhere, I get the message:
"Toshiba Virtual Sound does not support your computer."
I have spent all afternoon looking up and trying to think of ways to fix this. I have since updated my BIOS (bios-550win). Not one thing I try will make it work. I have even deleted references to Virtual Sound in the registry in case there was any conflict going on. It has made no difference though.
Could someone from Toshiba please explain why I am being told that I cannot install what was working perfectly well until this morning, prior to these updates, which are all for my notebook model? It's ridiculous. Apologies for my tone, but having wasted hours on this, I am extremely frustrated and just want my laptop back the way it was (and before you ask, yes, I have tried a System Restore, but that does not work either).
Thanks,
Mac

I ran some report the other night... not sure if this gives a clue to anything:
TVSASI v1.002 - TOSHiBA Virtual Sound Audio Service Information

So the Realtek driver works fine, but still cannot installed the Virtual sound driver.

Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better

Where can I get recovery media for Equium A100-549

I need help please, I bought an A100-549 over the internet, it did'nt come with any recovery media.
It now has a serious virus and I need to restore it. Where can I get recovery media for my laptop?
Cheers
perfecto

Hi,
where did you buy it?? On Ebay? If yes then you must contact the person which sold you the machine. If you have no chance to get such recovery, then you will have to contact a
local ASP to obtain a recovery.
If you dont want to obtain a recovery, and you have a genuine Windows copy lying around, then install it, download the appropriate drivers for that machine from the toshiba website and install
them afterwards you installed windows.

Blue Screen Error on Equium A100-549

Hi,
I took home a laptop that faced a blue screen error whenever it was starting up. I was provided with the essential components and did a format using the recovery CD. Once it was complete, I took out the recovery CD as instructed then clicked exit. The black window said format complete and the PC switched off. When I try turn it on an orange light flashes on one of the LEDs and the PC doesn't switch on. Most of the text was in Chinese while it was working too (the owner's Chinese). I would appreciate some assistance.
Thank you very much.

Hi
According to your description I suppose that the LED flashes all the time if the AC adaptor was connected. Am I right?
I think there is a hardware malfunction and the LED provide an blinking code.
Unfortunately, I dont think that you can solve this problem by yourself.
In my opinion a technician should check the notebook. The service guys are able to read the code and could locate the fault.

Equium A100-549: Blue Screen error during Recovery CD installation

Hey,
I recently purchased a Toshiba laptop, everything worked perfectly until my laptop was attacked. I got rid of the virus and went to reformat due to lots of problems occurring. The main one being a error has accursed and "Blah Blah" program needs to close. Also i kept getting loads of errors.
http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
Them types.
Now then the Toshiba reformatting disk said simply put the disk into the CD drive and turn off. I did this, great. The toshiba disk said press F12 upon starting and click run the CD. The CD fires up and gets half way thro reformatting.
I suddenly get a blue screen error. I thought oh well ill reboot and carry on. This is where the problem started. Because i was half way thro deleting/reinstalling windows i was missing some files. I go to reinstall or try to use the Toshiba CD I get a blue screen error.
0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article, or see Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit, p. 1548.)
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
Any ideas what i can do? I don't want to send the laptop back to Toshiba to fix however im thinking this is the only way out.
Please if repplying try to keep technical lanuage to a minnium. Many thanks, Dan.

Hi
Its very strange because the installation from the Toshiba recovery CD should works properly and without any Blue screen messages.
Usually if the BSOD appears if there is a serious software problem or something wrong with the hardware.
I dont think that the software on the recovery CD could be corrupt.
Did you try to install the OS from original Microsoft Windows CD? It would be very interesting to know if the blue screen will also appear.
However, I think your notebook is new and the warranty is valid. In my opinion you should ask the Toshiba service partner for the help because the guys could start the diagnostic test and could locate the fault.

Equium A100-549 Touchpad / Pointer problem

Greetings
I am having a problem with daughters laptop :(
When we boot the lappy up 60% of the time once the desktop appears and its loading bits in the bottom right hand corner the pointer just vanishes and we cannot do anything with the machine apart from turn it off using the power button.
If we keep trying to boot the machine up eventually it will operate as normal. Its just like a random occurance :S
I have been through the forums and FAQ's etc, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers etc and tried some of the fixes mentioned on these forums but nothing seems to solve the problem, eg bios, chipset drivers...
Would it be a windows problem?
Is it worth taking the time to go through process of performing a clean boot and looking for a service not working, or a complete windows reinstall? or is it something I have not thought of???
Any help and ideas would be fantastic thanks :)

Can you start notebook in safe mode (F8 at start-up) and check if there is the same problem with touchpad and pointer?

Need recovery media for Equium A100 - 549

Is it at all possible to have replacement recovery media sent for these machines or a possible download?
Little has lost the CD for my partners laptop and its playing up big time. Thank you for reading this.
Steve

Hi Steve,
You can't download a recovery media or image from Toshiba, thats not possible.
You have two options: You can contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to get an new recovery disk or you order one on the website who was posted by Mike30.
An ASP you will find here => Support & Downloads => find an ASP

Equium A100 - Unable to boot from bootable disc

Equium A100-549
My partners son has a 2 year old Toshiba laptop that has become slow over time. I had made a backup of the system with office etc installed using Acronis. Anyway, decided to clear it off by running Acronis and the image saved. The program runs as normal and it drops down to a dos like screen ready to restore. It then sits there with the curser flashing as normal and then it locks up, and doesnt allow you to browse to the image.
I though that this may be corrupted, so reinstalled Acronis. Made an Acronis boot disk to run the image and it ignores the disk and boots straight to the normal hard disk (IDE 0) Still no joy. Then tried the laptops restore disk. In the BIOS I specified CD device as first, and also the restore disk says place in drive and turn off.
Then as it boots hit F12 which brings up a menu allowing you to boot from CD drive. I have done this, but it doesnt appear to look at the CD and just loads windows from the HDD. I removed the CD from system devices and rebooted. It found it and added the new device to itself and requested a reboot. Still no joy!
Scanned with Norton but still no good. Removed Norton. The result is the same. Able to read from the CD and also write to it as well. Ran Toshibas diagnostics on the device and all appears ok with it.
Tried to make a boot disk on flash stick, but this is ignored also, even though specified boot using other devices.
Basically it looks like I cant get it to look at the CD before loading off the HDD.
Would flashing the BIOS cure it? - Registry error causes this?
Is there anywhere that I can speak to someone from Toshiba about this?
Any info / help much appreciated

Worked first time. I was in the middle of running a downloded version of system mechanic to see if it would find anything. Anyway, I placed the restore disk in it and pressed C on reeboot and it worked - foolishly I stopped it and tried again. It worked again. Had searched the entire net and a few forums before coming here. One post and its fixed!!!!
A life saver, especially at christmas as I didnt want to have to buy another laptop.
Once again thanks
Nick

Equium A100-147 - System slow and sound distorted

Hi, Help needed.
I have the Equium A100-147, been working fine for a couple of year but in the last few weeks has ground practically to a halt, takes between 5-10 mins to startup and when starting and once started the sound is as if the memory is running slow (like distorted) this even at sign in when the windows tune plays.
Laptop has 2.5GB memory so should be plenty and 18GB free s not running low. Running XP SP2 MCE. Had zone alarm running, thinking this could be the problem have now switched to AVG, but still the same.
CPU in use when system idle, i.e. just started with no applications running fluctuates bbetween 25 and 55%
Any ideas on what it could be before I rebuild
Thanks
Gaffar

Hi
I think this is a known problem of Windows that its getting slower after one year or two years ;)
I think you should try to defragment your HDD and to delete some programs that you dont need. Then clean your system using CCleaner.
Disable all programs in start up that you dont need.
Furthermore you should AntiVir. In my opinion its the best freeware antivirus program that you can have.
Last but not least you should try to update the sound driver. Check the Toshiba website for a newer version.

Re: Very poor sound on Equium A100

Hi. I have a Equium A100 with sound problems. The best I can describe it is that it sounds like a Dalek.
I'm running Xp pro. I've uninstalled and re installed the driver a few times in the hope that would sort it, but that hasn't worked.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Its a A100-147 and yes you are right, originally with XP ME. I then went to Vista then back to XP ME and then recently to XP pro.
Never had a problem with the sound for the first few weeks with Xp pro and not had any other problems other than the sound.
Windows tells me I have the right driver when I try to update it but also says that it hasn't been signed by microsoft.
Its a Realtek.
Sounds the same through headphones.
Thanks for the reply.
Tom.

Equium A100-306: Question about stereo line input recording

I want to record to my laptop and as, frustratingly, it hasn't got a stereo line input.
I have acquired a Behringer USB line adaptor (UCA202). This allows playback through my stereo system (with adjustable output level through the sound card) but input level is too high and can't be adjusted by any means I have tried.
Is there a solution to this that can be followed by an enthusiast?

Thanks for the information. I shall explore the software option as the thread you mention looks very relevant even though it relates to a different model.
If that doesn't work or proves too complex to install/configure I thought the Echo Audio Indigo IO sound card might do the trick.
It's ironic that the Equium A100-306 was sold as a multi-media laptop but doesn't have a line input.

Equium A100-549 - no sound
