Equium A110-233 Broken laptop screen

Hi, I have an Equium A110-233, the screen is broken.
I have attached an external monitor and it displays when booting up until it gets to the Windows logon screen then it switches back to the laptop screen.
Is there any workaround known for this other than replacing the broken screen?

Hi!
Replacing the interal screen is a little bit tricky because you have to disassemble a lot of. You must remove many parts and screws and for this you should have a little bit experience with it.
An ASP can help you to do this and they can order such part and exchange it or you have a look on ebay.
Normally you can switch between the monitors with FN+F5.
Bye

How do I get an Equium A110-233 to recognise the network card under Linux?

Hi,
I've just bought an Equium A110-233. I partitioned the hard disk so I've got XP and Fedora Core 5 (FC5).
XP works fine when I plug in the network cable, but FC5 (or at least the Linux kernel) does not seem to be able to find and activate the network card.
The message I get is "8139too device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization". The 8139too module is in memory as is mii (which points to it).
Somehow I need to get Linux to detect that the card is there, but I just don't know how to do that. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi
As far as I know the notebook has a integrated Realtek Network I/F Chip RL8100CL.
I think you should googol around for the compatible LAN driver for Linux which supports this chip.
Unfortunately, on the Toshiba page you will not find any drivers for any Linux distribution because Toshiba doesnt support this OS. ;(

Equium A110-233: Is there a built in microphone?

Hello,
Is there a built in microphone on this Tosh? It does not work!
Thanks!

Hi,
the Equium A110-233 doesn't have a built in microphone, just a port to connect an external one.

Equium A110-233 stops using the WLan and fans work only 3 sec

I purchased an A110-233 20-09-06. It works fine for about 1 hour then it stops communicating via the wireless network, the connection status states it is still connected, sometimes but not always the Intel Pro config window states that the wireless is switched off and I should switch it on at the bottom of the window ( It is switched ON ).
I took it back to PC World expecting a replacement but I had to sit for an hour trying to replicate the fault, we could not get it to go wrong but I have since found out that it only does it when running on the mains.
The cooling fan only runs for 1 - 3 seconds at a time, is there any way to increase this time.
Any help would be appreciated
Bob

Hi
If you want to change the cooling module properties you have to do it in the Power saver settings.
You should know that the power saver uses different power modes. The notebook uses a different power mode if the AC adaptor was connected and another power mode if the notebook runs only with the battery.
In the Basic setup of the power saver you will be able to change the cooling method. This option controls the fan operating.
It is not easy to solve the WLAN communication issue. I mean there is no general solution. Additional its not easy to solve it because the issue doesnt occur always but only sometimes. Possibly the signal strength is sometimes lower and therefore the Intel WLan configuration software reports that the WLan is switched off.
Furthermore you should also check the Wlan card properties. You will find the properties in the device manager -> right click on the WLan card.
There you should select the Advanced tab.
You should find some interesting options like power saving (disable it) or signal strength (enable it).
Furthermore you could try to update the WLan driver. Possibly a new version is available.
By the way: You should also know that some 3rd party application could has a bad influence on the WLan communication.

Equium A110-233 - I need select manually the boot device from menu

In the last few days when I turn on my laptop the Toshiba screen appears but I need to manually go in and select the boot device to start windows.
(Down the bottom the message 'Press F2 for set up. Entering boot device selection menu')
Why has this started and what can I do to get it to go straight into Windows XP like it used to?

After switching your notebook ON please use F12 button and you will be able to select the first bootable device.

Broken laptop screen

Hi!
I bought my laptop in the spring an a few days ago my clumsy brother fell on it and broke my computer screen. The laptop still works fine but there's this white line that goes across my screen as well as a black blotchy-like line running veritcally on the right side of the screen (where his hand fell on). I did not buy the protection warrenty on my laptop. I'm just wondering if it's fixable or if it's completely hopeless.
Thank you.

You can have it fixed but it will be expensive. Depending on the brand and model you might be looking at $200 - $400. That is a rough estimate.

Cannot play DVDs on Equium A110-233

I can play CD's and pc DVD rom games but it cant play normal DVD films. I get the following message
Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem lowing message.
I have lowered all the settings as suggested and followed all the troubleshooter guides but still no luck. Im sure I have the latest drivers ect, so a bit lost!
Thanks for any ideas on how to fix.

Hi
I do not have such problems but maybe you should read this document for better understanding why this happen.
If your notebook is preinstalled with original recovery image you should be able to watch original DVD movies using preinstalled WinDVD player.

Equium A110 - Booting into BIOS

Hi all
I have recently come across a problem with my *Equium A110-233* laptop. This laptop was lying in a cupboard for a year or so after a friend of a friend plugged a digital camera into it to transfer pics whereapon the laptop promptly shut down. It was an instant power off as i have been told. The laptop would not boot up again after that, in fact it showed no response at all.
Now, i pulled it out of the cupboard and plugged in the power cord to have a dip and see if i got lucky. To my amazement it booted after a little charging. I re - formated and re-installed windows XP with SP3. The laptop booted up for two days without any problems but, has now stopped behaving.
The problem i am having is as follows : When powering up the laptop posts, but then goes straight into the bios everytime. It did this a few times on and off and i thought nothing of it as it would eventualy load windows XP after rebooting. But now it simply refuses to do anything other than go straight into the bois on power up.
I updated/ flashed the bios after installing XP innitialy. I have no clue as to what the problem may be. Below is what i have checked so far:
Ram - Checked and working properly.
HDD - Working properly.
Battery - Delivers power when off of AC.
AC power delivers power as indicator light is glowing on laptop.
Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.
Thanks.

Hmm maybe the RCT/BIOS battery is empty ?:|
This could be possible because the notebook was not used for a longer time.
In order to recharge the BISO battery the notebook should be connected to AC adaptor and should be powered up. The battery should charge for about 24hours.
Of course it could be an motherboard issue this would explain the pervious issues

Need info about HDD adaptor and Vista utilities installation on Equium A110

I own an Equium A110-233 (PSAB2E), and I recently upgraded to Vista after installing 2GB of RAM. However, I found myself a little short of hard drive space and treated myself to a new 120GB HDD. However, it seems that the computer has an edge connector interface, as does the existing Hitachi TravelStar HDD - it doesn't look like there's an adaptor plug on the drive. Does anyone know where I can get an adaptor for my "traditional" 40-pin hard drive?
After installing Vista and reflashing my BIOS, I reiinstalled ConfigFree and the Value Added Package (amongst other drivers). However, running ConfigFree always leads to a crash with the BSOD ID "NO_MORE_IRC_STACK_LOCATIONS".
As for the VAP, I wanted it mainly for Power Saver. However, searching for it gives only "Power Saver Help".
Can anyone give me any pointers here? Thanks.

Hi,
did you know that you have a serial-ata drive in your machine which is not compatible to the IDE standard (40 pin)? You wont get an adaptor from 40 pin to serial ATA, because SATA is a completely different technology to IDE.
You will have to return the harddrive you purchased and buy a serial-ata drive, which will fit in your machine.
A little idea from my side regarding your BSOD:
Download the powersaver and the configfree for vista from the internet (this is a good address: http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp) and reistall that stuff, maybe it helps.

Equium A110-240 need new keyboard replacement

Hey.
As the title says I have an Equium A110-240 laptop with a broken keyboard. A few weeks ago about 1/3 of the keys stopped working at the same time. The error is probably in the hardware and I've reinstalled the keyboard drivers and updated BIOS just in case.
The laptop is a few years old and its warranty has expired so no help there.
I've tried checking the individual keys and removing the keyboard to check for a bad connection. No luck.
The rest of the laptop is in working condition and suits my needs just fine so I'm not exactly keen on buying a new one just yet, at least not before trying to fix the keyboard.
What I think I need is a new keyboard, but I can't find this exact keyboard on google.
There's quite a few Toshiba keyboards on ebay but none for my laptop.
I'm guessing other toshiba keyboards would work fine, provided they have the same connector cable, but would they physically fit?

Hi, You should be able to get a suitable keyboard. Check the following website and see if the part number matches your existing one.

Hi,
Please refer to the guide provided by

please make sure that the installation CD itself is not broken.

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website. How can I backup my data?

I have broken my screen and cannot access my iphone. I have an icloud account which I have used to back up my phone previously but nothing is showing on the website in contacts etc. As I can enter my pin I cannot connect it to a laptop. Is there anyway of backinh up my data, pictures etc?

No there isn't. If you check iCloud, you are not showing any backups at all? Did you have the phone set to sync contacts in iCloud, or were you just backing up to iCloud? If you were just backing up, then you should be able to access the backup, but if you were not syncing, then you probably cannot see the contacts in iCloud. You would have to wait until you restore from the backup to see them. You will probably have to go onto the iCloud website to erase and remove the device from Find My iPhone if you want to clear it off.

Equium A110 - How to connect to PowerMac?

Hi,
I'm trying to connect a Equium A110 laptop (XP home edition) to a 7500/100 MHZ PowerMac (O/S 7.6.1) in order to get mainly photographic files off.
I need to be able to file share via a Cat5e Crossover Patch Cable, which I've been told should connect PC to PC, Mac to Mac and in this case Toshiba PC to Mac. Is that possible?
At some basic level the PC seems to see the Mac (in LAN boot - unless this stands for some Migration Authorization Code of some sort?) but I cannot get a physical connection that allows transfer of files. The original cable vendor and Belkin have been no help whatsoever!
I believe one computer should be made the server (the newer PC laptop?) and the Mac a Client?
I've had a lot of people saying, 'it should be possible'.
Am I missing any software or drivers in order to create this link successfully or have I missed activating a setting somewhere?
I have relaxed potentially conflicting software whilst trying to achieve this.
TIA.
JimJam

hi jimjam,
what do you expect from manufacturers if this is not a hardware problem?
you have to do your homework!
it's a problem that's related to the networking protocols...
what you need is a router + 2 lan cables or a crosslink cable, some time to read and patience...
smb or similar will do the job
file sharing rights are also required
if you are not experienced in network protocols use a usb harddisk to transfer the files
use a internet search with "smb file sharing mac windows"
i am sure the results give you some useful answers
btw: the apple support site has a howto exactly for this problem
so i wont copy and paste it here....
btw2: if you boot with dhcp enabled and choose netboot the bootprotocol will look for boot files on the connected computer...
this wont help you...

Equium A110-276 BIOS update for 32-bit Windows 7

Hello all, I'd like to update the BIOS on my Equium A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and 'Windows Vista 32 Bit'. I have Windows 7 32-bit on this laptop. If I choose 'OS Independent' it warns me 'This Bios is NOT compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!' and if I choose 'Windows Vista 32 Bit' it reads 'This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!'
The exclamation marks are from Toshiba, not me ;)
So am I stuffed and need to stay with my current BIOS, or can I use the Windows Vista BIOS update?
Thanks to all who can help!

Hi Paolo30
I've been having some problems with the fan, and before I bring it in for repair I wanted to try all options. It appears to be seated/connected fine, the area around it is clean, I've done all of the fan-related troubleshooting I can except the last option which is to re-flash the BIOS which a number of people have had success with (with regards to the fan).
The original OS is Windows XP so I'd have to recover it back to XP and then re-update to Windows 7 and I'd rather have surgery than do that again! If it's not in the cards then it's a trip to the repair shop, I reckon. Thanks for responding!
