Satellite A200-1UM - No start and not formatting possible

Hello at all
At first i want to excuse if my english is not so well and maybe a little bit wrong.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1UM since Cristmas 2007 and until now I never got any big problems with it but now I got a huge one.
Yesterday when I came back from school I started like always my computer first, to check my emails etc.
At first all was normal the normal screen appeared : "Toshiba Leading inovations",after the screen with the blinking underscore, but after that.. a progress bar appeared with the text about it : "Windows is loading files"
I thought: hm k let him load his files...
Okay after loading all seemed to be okay the next screen came: (C) Microsoft Corp. with the moving green bar on it, normal too...
But then after, it just became black.. nothing happened anymore ..
I waited.. and waited.. and waited, but nothing happened..
Then I restarted, maybe it would work now, but it happened still the same same loading screen and so on ... and it became black again ..
Then I tried to start it in Save mode (I pressed F5 at the 2nd loading screen)
I tried all diffrent options of Save mode, but it always stopeped at drivers\disk.sys ... I got like crazy ... I tried out the diffrent options at F5: start at last normal version, and so on, but it all stoped at any time... and nothing happened than anymore..
Than I had enough I put out my product discovery and wanted to format all.. At the first screen I presses F12 and than I went on with CD/DVD (Product Recovery Disc), but than this **** progress bar appeared again and the the (C) Microsoft Corp Screen and it got black again *wuhuuuo -.-'*
Result -> Nothing works at all .. I tried to get help at some german forums, but they gave the advice I better should try it in this forum, because im actually down with my nervs, cause im on grammar school at the last year and I NEED my lap top for homeworks and all ...
I hope you can help me ...
Best greet's from Germany..

Hi xanbur
Thats really strange and I can understand you and that you are down with your nerves. Such thins always happen if you need the notebook immediately. :(
However, Im not sure but for me it sounds like that your HDD is faulty.
Do you have a Microsoft Windows disk? If yes, please try to install Windows from this disk.
If it doesnt work Im pretty sure that your HDD is faulty but you can check this with a HDD diagnostic tool. Therefore you can use Drive Fitness Test. Its easy to use and you can make a bootable disk. From this disk you can boot and start the test.

I had a similar issue last year on my notebook. I cant start the OS or format it using the Toshiba recovery disk. I tried the Drive Fitness Test and it told me that I should exchange the HDD. After this the notebook worked again.
Good luck! :)

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!

Satellite A200-23P - DVD-rom mechanic not working

I am sorry for my English in advance this topic! - Thanks
I have very big problem with my DVD writer (rom).
I bought SAT A200-23P three weeks ago.
The OS Win VISTA was installed. DVD-rom worked good.
If I installed Win XP to second partition on my HDD (before I make install disc with driver for sata disc in nlite) and installed all drivers and utilities for Toshiba notebook, I found that my DVD-rom does not respond while I press eject button.
DVD mechanic does not respond for eject in the XP and not even in BIOS!
Interesting is, DVD mechanic is detecting in BIOS, is detecting in XP, operating system XP votes - DVD mechanic working correctly - its fable.
However, if I installed XP on second partition, Win Vista does not load :(
I don't have a second chance for second selection (Vista and XP).
I have now XP only, even if Vista is on first partition - I didnt delete it.
Do you think the DVD-rom is HW or SW problem?
I think, seeing that DVD-rom not respond in BIOS - HW error.
But is very strange, if I install XP from DVD mechanic and close then is done, DVD-rom not working ... : (
If I open it manually and insert the disc, DVD not working (led diode not blink, just if I turn computer off, led blinked once).
PLS help me somebody -
THANKS!

Hi Michal
Your issue is very strange I mean the CD/DVD drive issue
Fact is that the CD/DVD drives eject function should functions no matter what OS was installed on your notebook. It has nothing to do with your software on the HDD.
So I wonder why the eject button works with Vista and not with preinstalled XP OS ?:|
My only plausible explanation is that sometimes there is a loose connection between the notebook and the drive. At the other hand the issue could be related to the hardware problem too
As you see its not easy to say whats wrong exactly we can only speculate.
Now some details about your dual OS installation.
You cannot choose between the Windows XP and Vista because the Vista boot manager was overwritten during the Win XP installation.
This happened to me too. I have installed Win XP on my Satellite and was not able to start Vista.
The solution was easy; I have used another original Vista DVD (from my friend) and booted from this DVD. The Vista has renewed the boot manager and then I was able to boot the Vista.
Then I have downloaded the tool called Easy BCD.
This tool can change the settings the Vista boot manager. I have edited it and inserted a new Windwos XP OS entry.
Thats it!

Satellite A200-27R cannot start up

I have had my Satellite A200-27R for 2 years and 8 months and 2 weeks ago it crashed and turned itself off. At the time I was browsing on the internet and probably had open 3 or 4 webpages when it froze and I had a blue screen with white writing telling me something had gone wrong and my laptop was shutting down to protect itself.
I was unable to turn it back on for 24 hours but when it did come back on it seemd to be working normally again but I backed up all my files incase it happened again. About 10 hours later the same thing happened again: freeze; blue screen and then trying to reboot.
Since then, when I try to turn it back on it either gets stuck on the Toshiba "leading innovation" start up screen; or goes to a black screen and tells me there has been a media test failure and something to do with Realtek about 100x or until I take out the battery so it turns off; or asks me to start in safe mode and do system restore which I have done several times now but this has not helped.
I would be really greatful if anyone could tell me if they had any similar experiences and what they did and if there is anything I can do to fix it? Many thanks.

Hi
BSOD can be the result of serious software problem or hardware issue.
If new OS installation didnt help you to solve this, I think that the hardware malfunction would cause the BSOD.
Usually the notebook shuts down automatically because of the higher temperature.
Higher temperature can affect other parts like RAM modules or motherboard.
So in many cases the BSOD appears due to memory issue.
I think you should firstly clean the cooling modules. You should remove the dust using a compressed air spray. In most cases this is the best procedure to get rid of the dust.
Then check the RAM modules. You can try to boot the notebook with one module only.
Then switch the modules to different slots in order to check the slots too.
Of course the HDD should be checked too. You can use a free software called Drive fitness Test. Its good, freeware software which can be downloaded from different pages.
If no of mentioned tips would help you, then I would recommend asking a Toshiba technician for help. They could use some special tools in order to get some results about the malfunction.

Satellite A200-14D PSAECE - Fn keys not working & other function keys

Hello,
1) i am asking for your help about installing my Fn keys drivers for my Satellite A200 14 D PSAECE laptop.
My OS is Windows XP and i have Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 .
From the download page of Toshiba drivers i got all drivers for my laptop (36 of all - or close), but from the many Xp reinstalations i have done on my laptop, only one time all Fn keys worked when pressing Fn+key and the corresponding icons appeared on my display. I have read some forum topics and i understand there is a problem about the order in which i have to install them ( i already installed them all but it is not working ), so i need someone to tell me which are the drivers for Fn keys only and in which order to install. Please do not forget that i can deactivate my Bitdefender but not uninstall .
2) the same problem with the preset buttons above the keys - On-Off, Internet, Media Player, Play-Stop-Rewind, i need the exact driver and the order.
Thank you for your time :)
Sorry if this question is already answer in the forum somewhere, but i could not get this exact answer.

so i need to install every name of driver or utility that appears twice with the same name but made by different companies ?
I will write down how it is described in the text file with instalation instructions, then i will mark the ones that are available for dld with *"i have it"*, also the order that i will install will be the ascending order of numbers at the beginning of each driver/utility, the ones that do not appear in the dld page of Toshiba will be marked *"unavailable for dld"* . +Can you please check the order of ALL that are "i have it" and the ones with questions and confirm if the all drivers are prezent here with the correct order of instalation ?+ Thanks :)

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.

Satellite A200 13m - dont start bootmgr message

Hi,
my Toshiba Satellite A200 wont start, after I activated the recovery partition from Vista in order to reinstall my OS thinking I will able to boot the laptop from the hidden partition but I get the bootmgr message and ctr + alt + del to reboot.
My question is: how can I make my pc from the recover portion to restore my OS?
Help me please. Thanks.

The recovery partition may be corrupted or the HDD may be faulty.
How did you run Recovery? Did you hold down the Zero Key when you power-on the laptop?

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: no sleep mode and ignores screen switch off time.

I have recently purchased a Satellite A200. It does not seem to have a 'sleep' mode and the power settings do not seem to work. i.e. I set the screen to go off after x minutes and it ignores it.
Any help gratefully accepted.

I remember reading somewhere that a wireless mouse driver caused this problem, and I would imagine other software can also stop the screen saver such as DVD players, so the best thing to do would be to run recovery.
On my laptop, I run recovery by holding down the Zero key while powering on the machine, then releasing Zero when the Toshiba logo appears. This may work on your laptop as well, but make sure you backup your data first.

Satellite A200-24B Wont Start

I've had my A200-24B for almost 2 years now and the problem i'm having is driving me crazy.
My laptop will not boot at times. All the LEDs come up, the Satellite LED on the bottom left lights up as well. But there is nothing on the screen.
Doesnt matter what OS i use and I've even tried installing the latest version of the BIOS. Nothing.
I can see the hard drive led blinking, and i can even hear the Vista startup sound.
I have to switch it off manually by pressing the power button manually. Even this doest work sometimes. I remember doing the startup-shutdown routine upto 10 times.
The problem now is that Windows 7 goes to repair mode automatically. This never happened with vista.
I even tried changing RAM chips in vain.
Please keep in mind this happens at random and I've have not been able to recognise a pattern.
Any help will be appreciated.
Its still under warranty.

>Its still under warranty.
Can you see Toshiba welcome screen or enter BIOS settings?
In my opinion you should not play too much with it. Put original Toshiba recovery DVD and install recovery image, if possible. Test it with factory settings and if there is some problem contact nearest service and let them repair your notebook.
Satellite A200 is not newest notebook model and I can imagine warranty is valid for next few months only.

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
Heidi

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

SQL_Developer and date format - possible bug

I have encountered an error that I cannot explain.
In Oracle SQL Developer very simple query:
Select To_Date('01-JAN-0001 BC','DD-MON-YYYY BC') From Dual;
returns:
01-JAN-02
The year is wrong. NLS_DATE_FORMAT for this session it is set as 'DD-MON-RR'. So I have altered the query to enforce using this format:
select to_char(to_date('0001-01-01 BC','YYYY-MM-DD BC'),'DD-MON-RR') from dual;
And the result was:
01-JAN-01
Also it seems to be correct in TOAD and not in Oracle SQL Developer.
Is it known issue?
The version of SQL Developer I'm using is 2.1.0.63 Build MAIN-63.73
Thanks in advance for any answers.
MJ

Hi MJ,
I reproduced this issue in SQL Developer 2.1.0.
But I was not able to reproduce the issues in SQL Developer 2.1.1 or SQL Developer 3.0 EA1.
So it looks like this issue has been fixed.

ESS IView access to ERP - login page displayed and not access possible

Hello Colleagues,
we have to setup Employee Self-Service (ESS) Portal as well ERP.
All required steps seems to be performed but we still facing one access issue.
If I try to enter the Link My Employees under SAP Portal > Employess Self-Service > Travel and Expenses it get an web login (ITS) from the ERP system and not direct access to the service. In addition I am not able to login with defined user an password.
If I try the to enter the service directly (test service) at transaction SICF on the ERP (ECC) System itself it works fine as well with defined user and password.
If both IE Browser Windows are open, then I am able to see the service (empty table) unter My Employees at portal after click again under Link SAP Portal > Employess Self-Service > Travel and Expenses > My Employees.
So I think the general connectivity works fine but some thing still wrong with maybe IView access/permissions/roles?
Any Ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jochen

This means that your Single sign on is not working correctly.
Things to check:
1. From Portal System Administration - for the system object created for connecting to the backend system - try to perform the connection tests and make sure they pass.
2. Access your portal with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (for example: myportal..mysubdomain.mydomain:port/irj/portal instead of just myportal:port/irj/portal) - this should most likely resolve your issue - since you see the error only for WD4A applications.
3. Make sure that the host name you have configured in the portal system and the host name with which you access your portal are in the same domain.
Also, check the SSO related profile parameters in the backend system:
login/accept_sso2_ticket=1
login/accept_sso2_ticket=0
login/password_change_for_SSO=0
Thanks,
Shanti
