One keyboard button is broken on Satellite A100-906

Hi guys,
Few days ago i bought Satellite a100 906. As soon i got home, i found one keyboard button (the cap from the inner side) is broken (the M letter).
Is it possible to order the keyboard buttons separately or only the full keyboard ?
My local dealer said only full keyboard is avalible, but its just funny, that i should buy a new one keypad instead of one letter cap.

Generally if the button mechanism is broken the whole keyboard must be replaced but if only the keycap is damage it should be possible to order the single keyboard key caps.
The removing of the keycaps is not very tricky. Simply go under the keycap with the fingernail and remove the keycap.
But I assume the warranty is valid therefore the service partner should do it for free.

  • Sound device of Satellite A100-906 stopped working

    Hi all..
    the sound on my Satellite A100-906 just stopped working in winxp.
    I didn't make anything like installing a program etc.
    I verified that the drivers are installed properly but after that I just had it so I installed a fresh copy of winxp and installed the sound driver BUT it didn't work!!!
    I just don't know what to do with it.
    Please someone help me..

    Hi,
    maybe you have the wrong drivers. If you already tried it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    and the drivers didnt worked for you, then go to this link and download the drivers from that page:
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp
    They should work. Background of that issue is, that the soundchip was designed for vista and not xp, so the drivers wont work and you have to use special drivers which could be downloaded in toshiba canada.

  • Re: Windows Vitual PC with Satellite A100-906

    Hi,
    can I use Windows Virtual PC on my laptop Satellite A100-906? My CPU support virtualization but I cant install Windows Virtual PC.
    In BIOS I havent setting for virtualization enable.
    Thanks

    Hi
    As far as I know the notebook uses the CORE2 DUO T5600(1.83GHZ) CPU.
    According to the Intel page the VT is supported by this CPU:
    Check this:
    http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27254&processor=T5600&spec-codes=SL9SG,SL9SP,SL9U3,SL9U7,SLA4E
    Therefore it should be possible to use the Intel Virtualization Technology.
    Update the BIOS and check if there is a option which could enable / disable the VT.

  • Re: Does Satellite A100-906 supports firewire 400 or 800?

    Hi..
    I have a Satellite A100-906 and I want to ask, if someone knows if the i.LINK (IEEE 1394) connection in my laptop is the firewire400(a) or the firewire800(b) type ..Because I want to buy an external HD with firewire connection ..
    Thanks

    so... the possibility of the firewire connection of my laptop is 1394a (firewire400) ..?.. because the are cables with 6 pins (for 6pol port) which they used in firewire 400 connection ..(firewire400-400 Mb/s-transfer rate ...firewire800-800 Mb/s)
    ..i am a bit confused ..
    thanks again.. !

    I have installed Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 in my A100-906 Toshiba Notebook.

  • Satellite A100-906: NVidia Go 7600 does not support Adobe Premier 3.0

    After I bought the Satelltie A100-906 notebook with this graphics card, I installed the Adobe Premier 3.0. After the installation was successfully done, the Adobe Premier program could not open.
    The OS goes to blue screen with some kind of communication errors with the graphics card and causes a restart. I have installed the same Premier onto another laptop with integrated Intel graphics card and it work's properly!
    What's the problem? I heard from professional movie makers that NVidia cards don't work with Adobe Premier?! It seems to be a wide problem, but has anybody had some ideas on what to do? PS! I have the latest driver version from of it - 8.4.6.8

    Hi,
    did you installed the Nvidiadrivers from the Nvidia-website?
    Maybe that can be a bluescreen-factor because the graphic-unit is a special mobile version, so you have to use the original Toshiba drivers.
    Regarding Adobe premier: I had the same problem with my system, and my VGA-Card is a NV Geforce7900GTX, so my solution was searching for a driver which works with my Adobe.
    After many trys, I found a driverversion which worked for me.
    Be careful: the newest drivers are not automatically the best for all applications on a system. I have to use the 8x.xx version because the new version are not working properly, and that on a DESKTOP-System!!!
    So, good luck, and I hope it was a little bit helpful. :)
    Cheers

    The [manual|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&PRODUCT_ID=1 20569&DISC_MODEL=1] says that the laptop supports 4 gigabytes of memory and the BIOS displays them, but the operating system (x86_64) sees only 3 gigabytes.

    No, I do not use Windows.

    Yes, even the technical documentation on the chipset is confirmed, but nevertheless, 1 gigabyte had disappeared. : (

    ps: sound not working

    Hi
    As mentioned above you will not find Toshiba drivers designed especially for the Windows 2003 R2 Server.
    But dont worry and dont give up.
    The simply Windows XP drivers should be compatible and you should be able to install the Xp drivers on the Win2003 Server OS.
    good luck

  • Satellite A100-1011E - AV button is not working

    Hi everyone,
    I am new here but I have one urgent problem. Hopefully you guys can tell me what to do. I have this laptop model SATELLITE A100-1011E. My AV button which located on left hand side of the keyboard is not working.
    I am pretty sure it is still working 3 days ago but I dunno what I did and it is not working now. I don think it is a driver problem cause I just bought this laptop 5 days ago. I have checked with this "Toshiba Controls" in control panel and I have assigned to the right program (windows media player 10) but it is not working when I press any of the button.
    Anyone can help me with this? :( Thank you very much.

    In the Toshiba assist you will find a tab called Protect and fix
    There you can use the option Create drivers & tools CD for creating such drivers CD.
    I think you need a diver Button controls. You could also try to reinstall the common modules.
    But before you do that please check if in the Toshiba controls the option CD/DVD was selected and the right player for DVD or CD under Media Apps.
    Ps: This button will start a player only when the CD or DVD was inserted

  • Satellite A100: Media Buttons do not work

    Hello!
    I have Satellite A100, Windows XP SP2. All multimedia buttons on the left of the keyboard stopped working. They worked yesterday, i did not install anything or even turned the computer off since then. They just stopped working.
    Can anyone help me to fix it?
    Thank you!

    Have you just installed the button controls over the old ones or did you delete them properly first and made a reboot?
    Sounds like there's something still left in some parts of the Windows entries.
    Maybe you could try to completely uninstall toshiba button control, then search for leftover registries with programs like regcleaner or similar. Make reboot and after that install button control again.
    In many cases this method really helps.

  • Re: Keyboard replacement on Satellite A100-528

    Hi there. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-528 and the keyboard is not working anymore. I found on ebay a keyboard from an Satellite L100 notebook and I want to know if that keyboard will fit on my notebook.
    Waiting for your answer.
    Thanks

    From my knowledge the Satellite A100-528 was equipped with a 86 key spill-resistant keyboard.
    The Satellite L100-194 was equipped with common 85key keyboard.
    So both are different.
    I would recommend you to purchase one which is released for especially for A100 series.

  • Re: Satellite A100-083 - Keyboard types letters automatically

    Hello
    I am working with a Satellite A100-083, Windows XP SP2. Since about one month ago following problem shows up from time to time:
    While typing in my browser or email-programm (both are by Mozilla) my computer types the letters "uit" turns the capslock on and opens new browser windows (about:blank, which is my startpage config.).
    Of course this sounds like having a virus, trojan or sth. like that but after running some different antispyware and antivirus software, without solving the problem and nowadays without finding infected files. I tried to find something about a trojan who acts like this in the internet - just topics with the problem but without solutions or defining the trojan (if it is one). Beside this the problem isn't there the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't happen for about 2 days and returns after that.
    Now I am wondering if it could be affected by some other source.
    Any ideas or similar cases?
    Thank you.

    Hi unfun,
    I dont think its a virus problem. Why a virus should cause such an action?
    At the moment for me it sounds like a keyboard malfunction and I would recommend testing another (external) keyboard. So you can make sure if the problem is software related or not. You can use an USB keyboard from your desktop computer to do this.
