Satellite A200-1M8 - battery loose power quickly

Hi
Please I need help... I have got Toshiba Satellite A200-1m8.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro SP3.
I noticed that the Wireless connection, running the laptop on battery power, drops and sometimes doesn't connect but plugging the power back to Normal power it easily does
I searched for similar issues and found that Intel for wireless devices does this to save battery power. I followed the instructions I found, and Wi-Fi worked well by increasing the power management in the Wi-Fi device settings ,but the main problem here is when I increase power management ,running the laptop on batteries, the computer seemingly to lose battery power quickly.
Should I change the deficient part by the manufacturer or what to do .......??
Thanks.

Hi again bro Horwath and sorry for being late.
Actually i'm still not sure/precise about testing the battery power while knowing what is running on the background. It is somehow confusing to keep on watching precisely.
Anyway here is what i came up with:
But before that the toshiba power saver settings that i use on battery is 3/4 towards the high preformance ( less long battery life ).
(every thing is the same as the default battery power profile except those: no hibernation..no system standby.. no Hdd power off and monitor off in 30 minutes)
first test:
the overall battery useage seemed to last between 1:20 or 1:30 hours.
running internet explorer with 3 to 4 websites in the same window....winmap....and [2 msn messenger (background) ]
it seemed that i lost 2% within 2 to 3 minutes ( but i still feel it is rapid ).... then leaving the computer idle seemed to have lost like 1% within 3 to 4 minutes.
second test:
The overall battery useage also seemed to last between 1:20 or 1:30 mintues.
i was running adobe photoshop for some minutes .....[ with msn messnger ( background ) ]
consumed like 60% of the battery power whithin like 40 minutes...
and the rest was left to the computer being idle just running 2 msn messnger on the background and consuming 40% within 30 to 35 minutes.
I also noticed that battery consumes 2% quickly on computer usage or apparently on _wireless internet usage_
Those are what i noticed, but still not sure 100%.
Anyway besides that my battery should last for 2 hours as i saw in some websites for this toshiba model .
In addition, why shouldn't the wireless device run normally like on any other computer on the default/normal level of power management so that i can have the normal battery power life.
Sorry for the complications in here :S.
thanks.

Satellite A200 PSAE6E won't power up after BSOD

Strange alarm on my Satelite A200-1AG

Hi
I'm a happy owner of Satellite A200-1AG
Happy I'll say because I've upgraded vista to xp and everything runs smoothly and nice.
The only problem I have is a weird sound, alarm or something that tries to signal me of something.
Every day since I've bought it, even with original Vista OS I hear a weird alarm twice a day, on random time.
It's one high pitched long sound and one short low sound.
Like that: "peeeeeeeep bwep" lol sounds stupid but it's like that.
the sound is very loud and annoying, and comes from inside of the notebook.
In the shop where I've bought it they said that I should update my drivers but I've already updated every single one of them and still the same problem.
Sometimes it alarms 3times a day, sometimes it has a break for 2 or 3 days and then comes back with the same situation.
I've reinstalled system several times, using third party drivers, original ones, Vista, XP pro, XP, XP UE and meh, no results.
Please, if someone knows what's going on I'd be very happy to hear the solution how to turn it off, how to fix it.
Thanks

Hi
This sounds very strange
Possibly this sound comes some where from theor BIOS or motherboard .
But please dont ask me which part could be responsible exactly for this stupid beep sound.
Generally its not easy to provide any useful recommendations without any notebook checks.
I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for a help.
Please explain the technicians this strange issue and ask for the further handling.
Im very interesting in this issue and therefore you report and a response would be appreciated.
bye

Satellite A200-1M8 PAE6E: CD/DVD drive issue - power calibration error

Hi,
I have an Satellite A200-1M8 ( or A200 PAE6E ) with Vista and for some time I've been trying to burn some dvds which I failed due to power calibration error.
I tested my DVD-ROM and it works normally, the problem is it does not read (recognise) every dvd.
Is there anyone who can help me out about this?
Or how can I learn which type of media my DVD-ROM would read?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I think I have founded an interesting article for you:
[Is there a list of supported type of CD-R/-RW or DVD-R/+R/-RW/+RW/-RAM discs which should be used?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=36]
But generally a power calibration error means that its the media is faulty or not compatible with the drive.

Satellite A200 23W shuts down seconds after pressing power button

Hi all :)
I have just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 23W portable computer some hours ago.
I turn it on and i let it finish all the Vista installation.
After finishing Vista installation it asket to resturn the laptop and from that moment the laptop is "dead".
After pressing Restart computer (from Vista) the computer shut down with no problem but it never restarted!!!
After waiting some minutes i tryed to start it over by pressing the power button.
Now when i press the power button i can hear the HDD working and most of the time before i can see something on screen the laptop shuts down!!
Now i notice that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN indicator are flushing and stopping flash at moments.
From reading the manual i would assume that the DC IN indicator should not flash at all though.
I have tryed to unistall the battery and try to boot the laptop but in that case i can not even listen the HDD starting up!!!
I have try to unplag and replag the power cable (in the wall socket as well as in laptop) but again no result.
Any ideas of what has happened?
Many Thanks

I do not know what is wrong there and, in my opinion, it should not be so important for you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and talk with him. Explain the situation. Maybe you will get new notebook. If not please contact nearest authorized service provider and let them check your notebook.
The notebook is brand new and it must work. Please do not wait too long.

Satellite A200-1ZF wont start - flashing power led

Hi,
today my Satellite A200-1ZF laptop wouldn't start, instead my power led blinks orange-orange-blue-orange-orange -blue and so on and so on.
The HDD led turns blues when I turn the computer on and seems to work fine (I can hear the normal running sound from the HDD).
I tried removing the RAM module to see if there's a fault in one of the modules, no help. I tried removing the battery and running it only on ac power, also no help.
Anyone got any idea?

Hi
Im a little bit confused.
If I understand you right your notebook starts but display is black or how to understand you?

Satellite A200 won't shut down when power supply is connected

The Satellite A200 just shuts down, if the power cable is disconnected before shutting down. Otherwise the notebook shuts down and restarts immediately (max 5 seconds between shut down and restart).
Does anybody got the same strange problem?

Hi Thomas
You should definitely contact the ASP in your country. Maybe its something wrong with the power supply electronic on the notebooks motherboard.
As John said the replacement should be done for free because the A200 is a new series and the warranty should be valid.
Good luck

Satellite A200 screen stays black when trying to boot

Hello everyone,
My Toshiba Satellite A200 notebook is not working anymore, so everything started when I was playing a game, suddenly, the screen turned blue with some tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button a few seconds to close it because nothing was happening on the computer. I then pressed the power button to open it. Everthing was going well, until the welcome screen. At this part, it was written "Welcome" but the Vista loading circle left of it wasn't turning.
After a few seconds, I decided to close the computer again, so I did hold the power button so the computer closed. Here is the problem : I tried to reopen it, but the screen stayed black. Nothing was happening. The power light was blue, but not any computer activity. So I let it like that a few minutes then closed it and tried again, but the same thing happened. I tried to disassemble it and noticed one of the two memory card wasn't fully in its slot. I fixed it, but it didn't fix the problem.
I also tried to plug another screen on it, but that one was also black. So I put back the screen on its computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. It was booting, but the first problem came back, the Welcome screen was frooze there. So yes I did close it again and then the same thing happened, the screen stayed black.
I don't think the problem is the screen because as I said sometime it goes to the welcome screen. Also I don't hear any welcome sound when the screen stays black as if the computer would simply not start up. And as I said earlier, I don't see any computer activity on the little light in front of the computer. And left of this one, I clearly see that the computer is ON because the power light is blue.
So this is my problem, next time the computer manages to start up I'll try to boot it on the SAFE MODE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy
EDIT :
After letting the computer turned off for about 30 minutes, I started it, and booted in safe mode. At this step, I securely closed my comptuer with the shut down button instead on holding the power button. Then I reopened my computer, and it booted and the problem was fixed. Now my notebook is openened and working.
So if this is happening to you :
1. Shut down you computer.
2. Wait for about 30 minutes.
3. Boot in safe mode
4. Shut it down using the shut down button istead off holding the power button.
That should work.

Finally, it doesn't work. I don't know why but my computer did start up after the 30 minutes, but now it's not working anymore. It just won't startup like I said later, with a black screen.
The computer did work for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start it up but after executing a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart it. I did it about 3 or 4 times, then it simply did the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe it's damaged or something, could it be possible?
Because I see that the processor isn't working when I try to start it up.
So let's say it's damaged, would that be the symptoms of my computer?
And if it's the processor, the only way to fix it is to send it to a reparator or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.
But right now, my computer is simply not booting, like I said in my previous post.
Thanks in advance,
MrRoy
Note : The edit button wasn't there so I had to double post :/

Re: Satellite A200-1ZF Win XP & Toshiba Control buttons don't work

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-1ZF with Vista installed originally.
I removed Vista and install XP. And then installed all drivers and almost everything is working but those keys (power,www,mediaplayer,play,stop,back,next) on the upside of notebook don't work. :/
Only power work properly ...sometimes www and mediaplayer, but rest of it doesn,t work at all.
I have Windows Media Player 9 series. I don't know if it is problem with my drivers or windows media version or something else..
please help..

Hi
Satellite A200-1ZF belongs to the PSAE6E series.
Choose this series in the Toshiba European driver download form.
There you will find a XP BIOS. If you are using Win XP on this notebook then you have to update the BIOS to the XP version!
Furthermore you have to install the Toshiba Controls v. 2.48.2.2C.
This tool is needed to get the Toshiba Media buttons working!

Shaking image on external monitor when Satellite A200 is running on AC

Hello
I have this problem which is driving me crazy .... I bought an external monitor for my Toshiba Satellite A200-1s9 laptop but the problem with it is that the image, on the external monitor, is shaking. I tried another monitor, the same, another cable, same problem; the only way how to stop it is to unplug the AC from the laptop.
I also tried to move the monitor further from the laptop but nothing.
I can making stop shaking so hard only if I switch to the AC profile from FULL POWER to Save power ... but even with this the image is still shaking a bit.
So basically there is a magnetic field around there, probably in the laptop, which is making my image shaking like crazy ... does anybody know how to stop it?
tx

Hi,
hmmm...
I don't think that this has to do something with magnetic fields.
Cause it is related to the power consumption of the computer, it seems that there is a problem with the AC-Adaptor.
If it has to deliver much 'juice', it's condensators to keep the voltage absolutely stable are perhaps too weak.
Such instabilities ( which have the 50 Hz frequency of the power supply ) can disturb the signal to the monitor.
A solution for that ? ..if you know how to solder some fat condensators somehow in between...
Or:
It's a grounding problem
I never heard from such problems with LCD-Monitors (VGA out??). Mostly this is the case when you you use analog video out,
leading to no color on the TV.
Do you have an annoying buzzing when you connect audio out to an amplifier ? That would be a sign for that.
I had such a problem and solved it by plugging my laptop on AC on another circuit in the house than my audio devices
So experiment with that.
First: disconnect all other stuff ( printer, sticks, antennas, everything ) These are nasty problems with lots of possible interferences.
Let me know!

Slow start - Satellite A200-1KZ PSAE3

Hi,
I have a Satellite A200-1KZ PSAE3 running Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have a clean install, so I have no third-apps running in my energy system.
I have the SKAA140a.rom (v 1.40).
I have installed the Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family (GM965) v1.5.6
I have installed the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver vVista_R172a.zip
The system take more than 2 minutes to start, any ideas?
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance!

I want to add that the start process is like this:
BIOS screen (where the Intel logo appears)
Progress bar, pass 7,5 times.
Windows Vista Logo, the whole song
"Starting", is less than a second
Then my desktop, where the "Live Messenger" appears first
Then Power, Network and Sound control
But, the Network appears as "Not connected" (red cross) until the NOD32 is on.
I've tried uninstalling the NOD32 and is the same thing.
NOD32 doesn't seems to be the problem.
Could be something about the network card?
My computer uses a Realtek card with the standard Windows Vista drivers. The name of the card is "NIC de Fast Ethernet PCI-E de la familia Realtek RTL8101 (NDIS 6.0)".
Oh, I can add that if for example I install something that need a restart and have to do something before the Desktop appears and takes 20 seconds for example, the system start just right away. No delay.
Ideas?
TIA!

After HDD exchange Satellite A200-1YW began to turn off

Hi!
I have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1YW.
After changing the hard drive (company) I got my notebook repaired, but a day later he began to turn off the notebook Connected to the power.A When the battery is not off, or When it is plugged in the bios ...
someone help ??...
ps. I know not Whether it's a good rating so sorry
ps. sorry for mistakes but I am Polish and I do not know English well: (

Hmmm... the whole think is pretty strange.
Fact is that HDD exchange should not have any negative influence and not be reason for these shut downs. I have done this numerous times on different models and Ive never noticed something like this.
In my opinion there must be some other reason.
What I am missing in your first posting is exact explanation when this happen exactly .
When the OS will be loaded or later?

Error message on Satellite A200: Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver

Hi,
I have Satellite A200 laptop
When i start the windows(vista) I get the following error: *"Can't open ACPI ATK0100 Kernel Mode Driver.* " !!
I've installed all drivers and the error remains.
I've installed all the drivers from the Toshiba website , but the issue remains.
Device manager shows me that every device is working properly.
Has anyone got an solution?
Thanks

ACPI is the power management facility for your Windows Operating system. If this is failing you may have to run a system recovery on your computer. You can do this with the hidden partition on your hard drive, however this will erase all of the data on your machine. If this doesn't solve the problem, you may have to consider getting your hard drive checked for bad sectors as this may have failed.
Hope this helps. :)

Satellite A200 13M - black screen and will not switch off

Hello
I hve just purchased a *Satellite A200 13M*. At first power on, Windows Vista seemed to be correctly installed and internet connection (wifi) was working. The Norton programme was updated, and I was able to download and install OpenOffice. However, as OpenOffice had reported a small amount of disk space available (55 Go) I tried to see the Hard Disk in the browser.
I clicked on Configuration panel, and waited for it to open. At this point, the mouse-arrow froze. After some time, I tried Ctrl, Alt, Del, and the system asked if i wanted to shut down. I did so, and a new screen announced that Windows was shutting down. This screen then froze in its turn. I waited for some time, and then tried to switch off with the power button. The screen went black.
However, the blue power light remains on, the fan is still turning, but nothing i do seems to wake the machine up. I have called the maintenance service of the shop I bought it from (Darty) but they are overloaded and said they would call me back in a day or two (!). Is there anything I can do in the mean-time that might allow me to continue working with the machine.
Thank you
Tim Mason

Sounds strange! But it’s a computer and sometimes such machines do {color:#ff0000}strange{color} things ;)
Anyway… try to remove the battery from the laptop and disconnect the AC adapter.
Wait about 20-30min and connect everything again.
Then try to power up the notebook. If it’s a not a serious issue the notebook should starts again!
