Equium A200 - no more light in the EQUIUM label

I have applied Windows Vista SP1 Italian in my Equium A200 (PSAE8E) and updated latest bios 2.20.
Everything works fine and now the blu light under the words EQUIUM is off.
I am happy not to waste any more power for lighting the EQUIUM words, but I wonder where there is a control for that.

This LED can be enabled/disabled in BIOS. Please enter BIOS settings, enter advanced settings and check the last option. I do not remember anymore the exact name for this but you will find it there.

Equium A200 can not connect to the interest using Wifi

Hi,
Since having to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate, I can not connect to the interest using Wifi. It works fine for Ethernet, but when choosing the "Connect to the Internet" screen, its blank and will not find any wifi connects or let me manually connect to one.
In Device Manager under Network Adaptors, it now only shows the Ethernet Controller and not the Wifi adaptor. I have tried to download the driver from this site and after rebooting nothing has changed. I have made sure the machine has all the latest Windows updates as well. I have also mader sure that the wifi button is switched on at the front of the machine.
Also one a side note I cant seem to find the exact name of the Laptop in the system section of Control Panel other than Equum A200. On the download driver page there is NOT a A200 listed only A300 and A300D.

I guess you didnt look into the Archive the A200 is a little bit older therefore the drivers are placed in Archive!
If you want to know what driver you need then I recommend checking this faq:

Equium A200-15i: I cannot use the touch pad - no response

I cannot use the touch pad in my equium A200-15i.
When I touch the pad, there is no response at all.
Please help me to solve it.
I have tried to uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but problem still exists.

Hi
Did you check if the touchpad is enabled correctly???
Using the key combination FN+F9 you can disable and enable the touchpad functionality!
Please check this function if you have not disabled the touchpad accidentally!
Last but not least I would recommend checking the touchpad settings in the control panel mouse -> Advanced -> Advanced feature settings.
There you will find different options which can be configured to use all the available touchpad features.
Best regards

Price of Equium A200-15l?

I bought the windows vista official mag, and inside was a toshiba leaflet, on this leaflet was a range of laptops. The Equium series caught my eye, especially the Equium A200-15l, which has the intel pentium dual core 2080 processor, windows vista home premium, 160GB HDD, 1GB +1GB RAM in other words 2 gig of ram. DVD Supermulti DL Drive, and has a 15.4" trubrite widescreen display. All for £499 inc VAT. I cant find this laptop anywhere on the internet, and all of the models of the A200 series i have found cost a lot more than £499 for a lot less specs. Could you please tell me where to get this laptop for this price, and if not why this add was published. I have a link to a photo i took of the advertisement here http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n278/wilkes27/18072007110.jpg Thanks

Hi
Come on dude.
I think the 499 is only recommended retail price (RRP) or Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
As you know the single dealers are responsible for the final pricing and not the notebook manufacturer!!!
Please don't forget this fact!!!
I presume the online dealers are a little bit cheaper as the computer stores in the downtown!!!
Furthermore the A200 series is a very new notebook series (at this time) and I think there are not many dealers who sell this notebook.

Fan on my Equium A200

Hi
I have just purchased an Equium A200-15i and wonderd if the fan should be going off as often as it is. Have just had to return my previous laptop to the shop as had the same problem with that one, in that the fan would go off every minute or so. Can anyone advise if this is normal as I have no idea!

Hi there,
could you please explain what you mean with "go off". Where is the problem, is your machine crashing due this or is the FAN running constantly or what?
A better description would be make the answering much more easier, because no one understands sometimes each other. Remember, we are all not coming from the same country, the range between the people here is sometimes about 10000 Miles and no one speaks the same english.. :)

Problem with E61 - no more light for keyboard

I have a E61 and now there is no more light for the keyboard
I put all default settings but the keyboard stays always dark
What is the problem ?
Thanks for helping

The problem could lie with your photo detector on the top left corner of the phone. If this does not detect light correctly or if it does not detect light at all it will cause the keypad lights to malfunction.
Best let your NSC test it and repair what is necessary.

Is the picture of the Equium A200-1V0 correct on the website?

As above, is the picture of the Equium A200-1V0 correct on the website?
http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=138201
When you enlarge the image, it says Satellite on the front of the laptop (as with the Satellite laptops).
Can I be assured that the laptop will look exactly like this, (with or without the "Satellite" on the front), I like the design and do not want to end up with something different.
Help is much appreciated, thanks!

If you reply with you email adress I can take a couple of hi-res photos of mine and send you for comparing :)

Memory speed - Equium A200 PSAF5E

Hi all,
I own a Toshiba Equium A200 - 1V0
Model no. PSAF5E - 001003sp
Bios version updated to v. 2.50
Everest Ultimate 4.5.1330 says that I have 2GB of RAM, in two sticks of Samsumg DDR2-667. Also it says too that my FSB is 133Mhz with correct CPU speed and multipier.
The problem comes with memory speed. It shows DDR2-667 capable sticks and chipset, but DRAM:FSB ratio is set to 8:4 resulting in DDR2-533, in any energy profile. The system operates in dual-channel 128bit configuration, so I'm losing 2144 MB/sec of transfer speed.
The chipset is identified as an Intel Crestline GML GL960, Everest and Toshiba website show it as DDR2-667 capable, Intel website claims about DDR2-533.
Link:[http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=138201]
Link:[http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/gl960/gl960-overview.htm]
I haven't found any motherboard info or manual, so here are my questions:
- Is this speed normal or may I expect the DDR2-667 mode with this system?
- Is the dual-channel mode decreasing memory speed?
- If I re-install memory modules one by one and changing the position, Could it reset the speed values of the system?
- Can I access to any hidden BIOS settings to tweak the memory? (I have a Medion system that has a hidden and password protected BIOS mode accessible through F11 instead of F2 where I can find lots of options not shown in normal F2 BIOS)
- Any more ideas?
Many thanks in advance. Any help would be much apreciated.

Hi HiperGrover,
As PauPau wrote, the limited FSB is 533 MHz and that means the memory modules will run at this speed. Furthermore DDR2-667 modules can be used properly but they run only with lower speed.
So don be worry about this, everything is ok with your notebook.
Last but not least in BIOS there are no options about tweaking the modules and such options will not bring a strong performance boost but they could make your computer unstable.

Equium A200-196: Cannot get all speakers to work with Creative T7900 home cinema system

I run windows Vista home premium, on my Toshiba Equium A200-196, and i have a 7.1 Creative T7900 system.
I cannot get all speakers to work. Only the woofer and two front speakers are currently playing sound.
The sound option in the control panel doesn't give me any options besides stereo speakers.
I have no option of selecting 5.1 or 7.1 speakers and i need to know do i need a software driver (all drivers are showing up as up-to-date), or do i have to change some other option, or purchase an external sound card?
I only have two jack inputs, a mic in and headphone out. How can i get all speakers to work and achieve the home cinema experience?

Hi there,
I dont think that the sound card is capable to do 5.1/7.1 since there are many more jacks required then only one "sound-output".
If I were you I would purchase a external USB-soundcard which is capable to do 5.1 or 7.1 to deliver you the full home-cinema experience.
Another solution is not existent. Sorry mate.

How long do batteries last after full charge on Equium A200?

Hi
Just bought an Equium A200, and charged it for around eight hours, when I start up the battery life doesnt seem very long to me. Is says about 1hr 12 mins of life left. Doesnt seem like very long after an eight hour charge.
Is it normal to only get just over an hour of use time on laptop after fully charged? Never had one before. Appreciate any input.
Thanks

Hi guys
The battery life time depends on the notebook usage! So its not easy to say how long the notebook should run on battery power. But I think the 1hour 30min is a realistic period.
However, if you want to run the notebook for a longer period then you could buy a stronger battery which provides more power for a longer time
You should take a look at the mA value; the higher the better ;)
Furthermore please dont forget that the installed Vista OS needs more power as a early OS like XP.
The Vista needs more power because it wastes more computer resources.
I read that an same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery power with preinstalled W2K or XP.

"Battlefield 2" crashes on Equium A200

Can anyone tell me if bf2 runs on the Equium A200 using Vista? I am told the chip set will run it (from Intel website), and it is possible to run it using vista in administrator mode, but the game keeps crashing back to the desk top!
I have downloaded all the latest patches! Help

Hi. I dont know what graphic card you have on your laptop but I guess you have a X3100 Intel IGP. In order to play this game and most of the game, you may have to turn off the HW T&L and use the SW T&L. Google "How to turn of HW mode on X3100" you will get more instruction about this. This will solve your problem.

Printer sharing with Equium A200

Hi, have aquired a Equium A200 and have connected it wirelessly to another PC in my house via a wireless modem router.
I have the connection sorted and all works ok, except when I try and printer share.
The printer connected to my older pc is an epson RX620, and the older computer runs on XP. I can find the printer on the laptop but when I double click I get an error message:
" windows cannot connect to the printer, access denied"
I have gone through everything i can think of, but still wont happen. Could it be because the laptop is running vista and the pc is XP?
Although i have been told by epson that the printer should work with with the laptop. Any thoughts or advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers

I think I found a solution :)
I have googled a little bit and this should helps to share the printer with Vista and XP.
- Access the Control Panel.
- Choose printer. Then choose Add Printer.
- Choose Add a local printer and click on Create a new port. The default in the drop down box is Local Port. Do not change that. Click Next.
- A dialogue box will appear asking for you to enter a port name.
- Type in \ \computer name\printer name ie. printer name is EpsonRX620 so I typed in \\basement\epsonRX620
Hope this helps.

Equium A200 Vista to Windows 7 upgrade

Trying to find out if it's OK to upgrade Equium A200 with Vista to Windows 7
I ran the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor". It lists several Toshiba Apps and/or drivers with the comment "we don't have any compatibility information about this version of the program". It helpfully links to Toshiba's Windows 7 ugrade site, and eventually to this link -
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/KBA9A02PX0000R01.htm
"For Toshiba PC models NOT listed below, Toshiba offers "Limited Driver" support on a clean installation of the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system."
No Equium models are listed.
What on earth does "limited support" mean in relation to Equium A200 + Windows 7. IOW, is it OK to upgrade to Windows 7?
TIA,
Peter

OK, I understand not all or no Win7 drivers will be available for the 2yr old laptop. (I take it there is no way to determine which relevant drivers will not be available.)
If I make a Clean Install you say (and it makes sense) I will need to get install all drivers. However it that does not seem a sensible option as it's not clear which of the required drivers will be available. IOW could install then find I can't get some important drivers, unless I'm missing something.
If I upgrade from Vista to Win7 you say "many Vista drivers are compatible with Win7, actually I didn't know but it makes sense. Also the Win7 Upgrade advisor application didn't mention any problems with drivers on this laptop (it only flagged several unknown Toshiba applications).
Seems the best or rather only viable option is to Upgrade. FWIW I notice that Vista Home Basic & Premium can only be Upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate. Other Win7 versions, in particular Win7 Professional, need to be Clean Installed. Shame as I wanted that for its additional networking capabilites.
Many thanks for your reply. If you think I've misunderstood something please comment again!

Ipod won't work under Windows Vista on Equium A200

I've had my Ipod for over a year now i used it fine on my old computer which was running on XP.
I now have my laptop Equium A200 series running on vista.
When i first connected my ipod to it it showed up and asked if i would like to connect my ipod to this computer instead of the other pc so i accepted.
It cleared all my songs so i can put my new music on.
Once it had done this my laptop could not pick up my ipod anywhere.
When I connect my ipod in the laptop makes a noise to show it's recognised it's been connected, but when i go to itunes it doesn't show up.
I've been into device manager to check there it has a ipod symble with an ! mark next to it, so i click update driver but nothing is ever found.
My Ipod charges fine and works fine, i've been on apple website looking for solutions i've restored my ipod everything they've sugested but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me i miss using my ipod.
Sorry if i've posted this in wrong place first time user don't know my way around the site yet.
Many thanks if you can help.

Hm, maybe you should reinstall the Ipod software. That would be the only idea I have. Otherwise you should take a look at the BIG Apple forum. ;)
Nice weekend and good luck

I can't get my Equium A200 started

I cant get my laptop started.
I had left it on standby and when I returned it appeared to have crashed.
When I turn it on the LED lights come on, on the Equium sign and the power symbol on the laptop makes some encouraging sounds but then nothing comes up on the screen.
Please help!

Remove the battery and leave the notebook for the while. Connect the AC adapter only (without battery) and try to start your notebook again. Please post the result.
