Re: Not responding Satellite P200

We have a Toshiba Satellite P200 laptop. Last time we used it, the computer shut down as normal. But when we tried to turn it on the next day it wouldn't do anything.
The blue power cable light is lit, but nothing else, and it won't respond.
Please help.

I also have a Satellite P200d. Same thing has happened after approx 1 month use. Removing battery and replacing allows computer to boot up but during boot get message that a fault has been found which will be repaired. That happens and laptop boots up ok - error log show video hardware fault. Next time I close down and then try to reboot the same happens again. In addition, during month use I have had a blank screen which recovers with the message that driver atikmdag has failed and has successfully recovered. This happens 2 or 3 times each time I use the laptop. Any suggestions will be welcome. Otherwise its a good bit of kit.

Keyboard not responding - Satellite Pro M30

Hi,
I have recently purchased a Satellite Pro M30. The keyboard has stopped responding completely. When I turn the laptop on and when it prompt me for login credentials I am just not able to enter it, nothing happens when the keys are pressed.
I re-installed the unit using recovery CD but no luck. Interestingly, when I put laptop in stand-by mode, and when it comes back to normal mode, keys work for few seconds. Also if I kill the explorer.exe and launch new one, keys works for some time.
Since keys are working when laptop comes out of standby mode, the keyboard is not completely dead/hardware failure. My OS is XP Pro SP2.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Sanjay Kedare

Hello
The best way to check the functionality of the unit is to preinstall the unit with original recovery CD or DVD. Like I can see you have already done this.
If the problem still persists I assume there is some hardware problem. I dont know if the unit is new one or used one but you should contact service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Valid warranty will cover all costs if some hardware part is defective and must be exchanged.

I have a Windows Vista desktop and an old XP laptop, both run Firefox perfectly. However, my Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop will not run ANY version of Firefox--constant "not responding" messages. Chrome and IE9 work perfectly. Help!!

To mostly repeat my question, I am a longtime Firefox user on both an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. So here I get the most "capable" computer of all, a Toshiba Satellite T135 laptop, 64-bit Windows 7, 4G RAM...and it won't run Firefox at all! I have installed an uninstalled both Firefox 3, and just now, Firefox 4. No changes. When I open the software, it usually just locks up for a minute or so, and I finally get a "not responding" message at the top of the screen.
Obviously there is something corrupt in the guts of my laptop. But both IE9 and Chrome work very well--Chrome is blazing fast. I still prefer Firefox because it works best with some particular software I use for work...but I have to go to one of my older computers to do it!
ANY solutions out there? This seems like a very odd problem.
Posting from the Firefox website...using Google Chrome!

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

Hi and I have a problem.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
Any suggestions?

Hi!
Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com].

I am trying to download photoshop elements but my browser is not responding. I am wondering if maybe because I am on a satellite it is having trouble?

My browser is not responding to the download. Any thoughts on why? Mayb e because i am on a satellite dish for my internet?

Satellite P200-1FC: CD/DVD drive will not start - error Code 10

My Satellite P200-1FC was purchased in January 2008 and preloaded with Vista Home Premium. The DVD/CD Drive is listed in device manager as "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L632H ATA Device".
At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
Clicking check for solutions produces "could not load driver software" but no solution.
Searching similar questions in user forums suggests a use of a Microsoft Help & Support page headed "The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista".
However this involves modifying the registry! As a relative novice I am reluctant to do this unless I can find no easier way.
Must I bite the bullet and and enter this minefield, or is there a better way?

>At first the drive worked perfectly, but has recently refused to start. Device manager now shows it with a yellow exclamation mark and it's status is given as "This device cannot start. (Code 10)".
This error is definitely caused by a wrong registry entry.
I had such error several times ago and I have solved it removing the lower and upper filters from these registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Here are some steps how it worked on my Windows system;
- I removed the CD/DVD drive from the device manager
- Then edited the registry as described above
- Rebooted the notebook
Im sure it will help you too.

Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer is not responding

On random occasions (normally when I wake up the PC), and I click the volume control in the taskbar, nothing will pop up.
Then I'll go to move the physical volume control slider and nothing will happen.
However, at that point, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and it says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing this, the volume control does not even appear on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer freezes once more.
I have Vista and its an Satellite A200-TH7.
I have the volume on mute so I literally can't listen to anything now.
If I restart the comp it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

Hi
Thats strange and I never heard about such an issue.
Does the Explorer freezes in other ways too?
Anyway, you should make sure that you have installed all Windows Updates and Service Packs.
Furthermore update the AntiVirus software and search for Viruses.
And follow the instructions posted by Jimi.
Thats all I can say at the moment.

Toshiba flashcards does not respond on Satellite A200

Hi.
When I turn on my laptop (Satellite A200) often, but not absolutely everytime, I get a bar across the top of the screen which reads 'Toshiba Flashcards (not responding'.
Sometimes this can be removed by clicking the red cross in the corner of the bar and after a few moments it does disappear, but other times it stays there and there appears to be no way of getting rid of it.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
You can probably tell from this that I am not a computer expert and simple language would be most appreciated!!

Try this:
Update the BIOS, which can be downloaded from the Toshiba website
Uninstall the Toshiba Value Added Package
Download and install the latest Toshiba Value Added Package from the Toshiba website

Satellite P200- Power Saver in XP not working

Hello,
I have decided to make another thread so that more questions can be answered. Right so I installed Power Saver Driver and then a reboot and then I install Power Saver but when I try to access it from Control Panel I get a message saying "CANNOT open because you do not have access right to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver". Now when I go to the SYs32 directory and look for Toshiba Power Saver related files I find a file called TPSBattM and when I try to run that I get a "A Fatal error has occurred, Code: 0x2".
I have tried re-installing and removing but it still isnt working. Does anybody have a fix for this since this problem has been bugging me on older laptop ever since and TOSHIBA still haven't sorted it out.
I can't seem to find the Common Modules for the Satellite P200-144. If somebody could find them then it should start working again.
Thanks and please somebody try to help me.

Satellite Pro - Win7 - Not Responding Msg

Hi
Pro has 2G memory 40GB storage
I am having endless probelms with the Win7 'Not Responding' message in various applications. Laptop gets slower and refuses to open programs after about 3 hours. Have to reboot, also after some not responding messages I have to reboot.
Sometimes with the not responding problem in Outlook Express it deletes the emails. Not nice.
Everywhere on the web people are having similiar problems. Purchased Pro new and ok for a few months and then the prblems started.
Have Toshiba go an anser to it ?
Thanks
Charlie

Hello Charlie
Can you please tell us which Satellite Pro notebook do you have.
As you can see on the top of the page this forum is user-to-user forum so here you can discuss with other people who own Toshiba notebooks and want to share own experiences and opinions. Here you will not find some official statement.
Back to your issue: you are right, many people have similar problem and many other different problems, especially issues when notebook is slow. My opinion is that in most cases people have not powerful enough notebooks, they dont have optimized operating system, and in general there are many different things that make notebook slow.
I dont know how do you use your notebook, do you still use original OS that you got with your notebook and which settings do you use and it is not easy to say what is wrong there. Your notebook with 2GB RAM is not the fastest one so I would like to know have you tried to optimize os.
Have you disabled some applications in start-up?
Which antivirus application do you use?
Are windows updates set to Automatic?
Many background activities can slow down your notebook or be responsible for some conflicts.

Satellite A65 freezes and does not respond after adding of RAM

Gents,
My laptop Satellite A-65 has been upgrade from 512 MB RAM to 1024 RAM. It recognized additional memory without any problem (as it should be according to manual).
But unfortunately after 1 day it begun suddenly stops, pictures on screen freezes, laptop does not respond at all - only reset (pushing and holding power button) can help. some times laptop is able to work 2 or 3 hours, but then again stops.
Memory place cover is rather hot, fan very often work uninterruptibly. so i can't decide whether problem is in new memory card or not enough cooling or might be in changing of BIOS version (or BIOS setttings) and might be memory becomes full and does not clear itself properly (last remark was found on some forumes).
Experts, help to find exact reason especcially if u had similar problem.

Hi
Im not expert but I would recommend removing the new memory module and let run the notebook only with the standard memory module.
If the notebook will not hang and will not freeze then its a very clear case for me.
Either the second module is not compatible or faulty.
In my opinion you should use branded modules like Kingston for example. The quality is much better as a no-name module.
Additional use the modules recommend by Toshiba

Right!
> Second i want to kno why i cant find Satellite with 14F With the model number PSAW3E-0N400WAR? because i found PSAW3E on 3 countries..
PSAW3E-0N400WAR number belongs to Satellite A665-14F. This model is released in Arabian region.
> Germany is one of them ,so should i download it from there and its will be the same ? because in Germany i Found 14F(PSAW3E-0NH00JGR) and mine is (PSAW3E-0N400WAR)
PSAW3E-0NH00JGR is also to Satellite A665-14F but this was released for German market.
> Second about the updates how should i install them ? they are Zip so should i Extract them and open the extracted file ?
You have to unzip the packages firstly and there should be a exe file which can be executed.

Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

Dear all,
I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.
Heleen

>How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

Satellite A200: Bluethooth Stack & Flashcard does not respond

My new A200 gives me a headache. After receiving the following message: Thank you for evaluating the Bluetooth Stack for Windowsby Toshiba. The evaluation period has expired. Please obtain a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" I downloaded the Bluetooth stack Multilingual from Toshiba's homepage. It does not work, I receive still the same message and cannot use bluetooth anymore.
The second message I receive always is "that the Toshiba Flashcard does not respond" then Vista is looking for a solution but does not find anything.
The third problem is to include a second monitor. One time only it worked fine, but never again. I cannot control the second monitor via the Notebook, sometimes I cannot extend it, sometimes I can but the second monitor works in slow motion. I use a Targus docking station.
thanks

Hi
This message is meant for developers of third-party Bluetooth adapters, but may appear if you are using such an adapter with the Toshiba Bluetooth software 'stack' -- rather than with the adapter manufacturer's stack. The third-party Bluetooth adapter may work with the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, but only for a 30 day evaluation period.
If you are using an 3rd party Bluetooth adapter, obtain and install the correct Bluetooth stack from the manufacturer of the Bluetooth adapter.
If your notebook was already equipped with the BT card then you dont need to obtain the BT stack version from any other 3rd party manufacturers.
You should be able to download it from the Toshiba page, from your Satellite A200 download area.
I have also received some issues with the Vista Flash cards.
Seems there was a bug in old version. But dont worry; the new version was already released on the Toshiba page!
However, it looks like you have messed the whole OS because the switching to external monitor does not work too. So maybe you should recover the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD and then update the Vista FlashCard utility.
Good luck
