Equium A100 (PSAAQ) LAN Card issue

Dear All
I am using *Equium A100 (PSAAQ)* laptop for past 3 years. Suddenly it developed a typical kind problem. I am using Vista. The LAN is installed and I was able to access network through it till copule od days back. Now even though LAN card is installed, *loop back test also passes* with good speed but even though the cable is incerted it says *Cable Unplugged*. The same cable is working on other system. I tried to connect another working cable but result is same *"Cable Unplugged"*. If anyone can help me solve this problem.
Thanks
Manish

Dear Jeffrey
Thanks for your reply. I had update of Vista till the 6th of April and after that the LAN card gave this problem. I am connected to network through a 10/100 switch provided by the Internet service provider. The same switch and same port is working for other laptop/desktop in the network. Till last use, network card was working fine. suddenly one fine morning that is 7th April it showed "Cable not connected" warning. I tried all possible ways that is : reconnect, re crimp, change the cable, re install the LAN Card etc, except for reinstalling the OS. One more thing, Initially the cable provided by our network provider was not six core, instead he provided 4 core wire (You know cost cutting for them). The problem came with 4 core wire and now they have provided six core wire even then the problem persist.
Thanks once again

  • Equium A100 PSAAQE: need tools and drivers

    I am new to this forum, and I think this thread is fairly close to my problem.
    I recently bought an Equium A100-33888 laptop notebook, Model PSAAQE.
    As it was secondhand, the dealer reformatted the disc - installing, as the original, Vista Home Premium.
    But he has cleared (removed) as far as I can see, the Toshiba special utilities as described in the manual. That is, there are no folders/files named toshiba.
    (I also have a rather older toshiba laptop, which does have some folders/files named toshiba - including help files for the utilities.)
    I gather from a quick look throuh the form that there may be what seems to be described as a driver download which might enable me to restore these utilities. Can someone please advise me as to exactly which driver would be appropriate, and where to find it?
    I certainly do not want to lose (reinstall) all the programs I have installed on this laptop, and would rather do without the utilities.
    I assume and hope that the general hotkeys (Fn + hotkey) all work without the utilities.
    Please advise me on both questions.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    I assume you need drivers and tools for Vista. Right?
    Toshiba European driver page provides all drivers and tools as you can see on the screenshot below:

    Hi,
    I have the same problem like in topic http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=17316.
    I downloaded and installed all of drivers what I needed, on my Equium A100-147, but Lan (ethernet) driver doesn't work.
    I have windows XP, home edition, SP2.
    I tried both type of drivers in Toshiba Download (and few others as well), which should work... but sadly, it's not working.
    I would be glad, if someone could help me. Thanks anyway.

  • Equium A100-338 - Flash Card not Responding

    Everytime I close down World of Warcraft something pops up in the top left hand corner (looks like it should be a window but only top bar showing) which reads 'Toshiba Flash Card (Not Responding)'. What can I do to stop this from happening?
    Im pretty sure it pops up throughout the game as well as I hear a ding.
    I have a Equium A100-338.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi,
    a solution can be disabling the flash card service if you dont need your flash drive.
    You can disable it just by following these steps:
    - Go into Start -> settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
    - Make a right click on "Smart Card" and left-click on "Properties"
    - In the window which pops up you have to stop the service and disable it with choosing "Disabled" at the option "Startup Type"
    After that your flashdrive service is disabled and you wont get that annoying errormessage anymore.
    (I hope so :O )

  • Re: LAN not working on Equium A100-02K PSAAQE

    I have an Equium A100 - 02K, Model PSAAQE - 00N00LAV, S/N 57015844Q running Vista Home Premium.
    Recently the LAN connection via cable failed although the wireless connection to the internet still works. There is no light displayed on the LAN socket when connected and the router does not show a connection. Running task manager shows that there is a problem with the LAN driver. I have reloaded the driver but still task manager shows a driver problem.
    Is this a hardware problem or are there further steps I can take such as checking in the BIOS?

    Hi
    I think its a only a software issue.
    Please access the device manger and uninstall the LAN driver (you can mark the LAN card and could remove it too)
    Then reboot the notebook!
    By the way; what error code appears in device manger near the LAN card?

  • Equium A100-063 PSAAQE: WLan signal interrupts

    Hi
    i'm italian so excuse me for my english.
    The 23rd of March Ive bought the Notebook EQUIUM A100-063 PSAAQE.
    Unfortunately I have found a problem that I can't resolve although numerous test I've tried.
    After some minute the connection wireless to my Router DLINK DSL-G624T falls and I must repeat the procedure of connection to Internet although the radio signal is always excellent, but after some minutes the line falls again.
    I approach without proplems with pocketpc and another notebook to the same router.
    Currently I have configured WEP key but I have tried also with WAP key, and also without key, moreover I have tried various names of SSID and to set up the IP in static mode and also in dynamic mode.
    I've verified that the version of the card Wireless driver is the last one.
    Can you help me in some way, please?

    Thanks for your answer. I've verified that the probable source of my problem is due to interference on the channel radio setting. When I've changed the channel from 6 to 11 the connection is remained stable for an hour until the problem has been repeated.
    In the same time the problem has been repeat, another Access Point has been activated on the radio channel 11 like my router, therefore I've configured my router in channel 9 and I don't have more problems.

  • Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
    I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
    Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

    Hi Emonn
    Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
    The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
    You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
    Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
    I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
    This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

  • Equium A100-027 PSAAQ - having problems accessing Internet with WLan

    Just installed WXP on my Equium A100-027 (PSAAQ) as Vista did not like. Now am having problems accessing Internet. What drivers do I need to download and how do I install them?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to check the driver site of toshiba
    -> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    search for your machine and download the wlan drivers. If you dont know which one you need just download all of them and install em, one of that drivers MUST work. ;)

  • Equium A100-147 - Where to find LAN ethernet driver

    Hello All,
    I am having problems to find the dirver for my ethernet controler...
    I went to toshiba website and on the LAN driver is not completed, it only comes with any application to unistall, doesnt have to install, problably missing....
    I could find on the web...
    I manage to install the wirelles, so i can use the net through that.... but i want to install the LAN as well...
    Does anyone knows where I can find the driver (LAN ethernet) Equium A100-147????*
    thank you very much...

    Hello
    Ive checked Toshiba page and your notebook is supported for several operating system. Which one do you want to use?
    Anyway, the driver is completed but you don't know how to install it. It is typical for LAN driver that there is no setu.exe file. Also do follow:
    Download the right driver and expand it on the desktop
    enter the device manager and open Ethernet properties
    choose option to install driver and browse into downloaded folder
    Thats it!

  • How to connect Equium A100 and second computer via LAN

    hi,
    i was wondering if someone could help me.
    My partner and me are having some difficulties with creating a LAN between his computer and my laptop.
    Basically the gist of it is that his computer can see my laptop, but it's not recipricating.
    My laptop is the Equium A100 (XP media centre) and all we really know about his computer is that its dual pentium 4, windows XP home edition and that is is a complete pain in the rear end!

  • Graphics card issue - Satellite A100-313 shuts down by itself

    I have a satellite A100-313 and I'm using vista.
    Everytime when I play games, the notebook shuts itself off after some time. It varies, normally have 10-20min of playing.
    And when I immediately turn it on again, I get a black screen but the computer is running. I'd have to wait a while to turn it on again for the screen to work.
    So it starts up again and the resolution is changed to 1024x764 (the native resolution is 1280).
    I assume it is a graphics card issue (I have a Geforce 7600 Go). I already updated to the latest vista drivers available from the Toshiba site (the one from september).
    What can I do to fix this? The automatic shutdown normally only happens when I play games.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hm, sounds tricky.
    I can suggest you the following:
    Download the latest bios for your machine from the toshiba download site:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    And last but not least, check if your cooling system of your machine is not clobbed with dust. You can clean it up with a can with compressed air to remove the dust from the fan and the heatpipe-fin.
    If you have some questions, just ask.
    Nice weekend

  • Can I add a better graphic card to Equium A100-306?

    As the title suggests is it possible to add a graphics card to an A100 - 306 Equium in order to better handle games?
    Any thoughts/comments much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Honestly no its not possible. Every model has a set list of parts that can be ordered, and if your model has a graphics card of 128MB the only video card an ASP can order is the one listed for your model. The equium A100-306 is different for instance then the Equium A100-307. From looking at the parts list for your computer, your Graphics card is integrated on the MB, meaning you can not even upgrade it if you wanted. Sorry, no chance for an upgrade on your Notebook.

    There are a lot of things you can upgrade inside a laptop sadly the graphics processor isn't one of them because it's integrated into the mainboard.
