Satellite A200: I cannot establish drivers unknown devices

Hi,
In the system devices I cannot establish drivers for (a) mass storage device, (b) Unknown device in Other Devices section.
Can anyone help me on this?

If you use the XP on the notebook then you should update definitely the BIOS to the XP version. Then reinstall all available drivers from the Toshiba European page.
This will help to get rid of these unknown devices in the device manager.

Satellite A200-1DN - WXP Network Drivers for Imaging

We have (by a prior employee) a number of Toshiba Satellite A200-1DN Laptops.
As there are many, we intend to image them to reduce the labour overhead for updates and maintenance etc.
However, Despite the WXP drivers being finally released, they do not contain instructions as to which files
to put into an image so that the network drivers work.
Any help or pointing to a set of instructions are much appreciated.

Hi
It looks like the Satellite A200-1DN would belong to the PSAE0E series.
You have to choose the XP drivers exactly for this A200 series. Thats important!
As far as I know the notebooks supports also the LAN Chip from Realtek RTL8101 Family Fast Ethernet.
If you want you can try to install the original XP driver from Realtek website. This one should also run.
Good luck

Satellite A200-1T8: Cannot enable HDMI

Hi
I have install hdmi on my laptop Satellite A200-1T8 with Win 7 32BIT and any time i open it, it tell's me 'you must enable hdmi '
If i go to hdmi control, the enable is there but i can't click to make it enable.
Can some please tell me what to do, to enable it .
thank to you all

Hello
> and any time i open it,
What do you open exactly?
For me it sounds like that you have disabled HDMI in BIOS as Paolo30 wrote. Check the BIOS and enable HDMI.
Furthermore if you have installed Windows 7 32bit that was not delieved with your notebook make sure that display driver from official Toshiba page is installed.

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 PSAE6E: Controller code 28 in device manager after Win7 installation

I have the same problem! I have an A200-PSAE6E with Windows 7. My device manager shows me a perfect SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller under SD host adapters. But it has a certain Mass Storage Controller, under Other Devices, and that one doesn't have a driver installed (code 28). I try to update it, but it doesn't find anything.
Here on Toshiba's website I can't find the drivers for the card reader either. I think it's Card Reader Controller (there is a Flash Card Support Utility, but I'm almost certain it's the other one)
There is a Card Reader Controller driver for Windows Vista 64, but my Windows 7 is 32. Do you think I should try that anyway? Do you think perhaps Toshiba won't even release a driver for that?

> Here on Toshiba's website I can't find the drivers for the card reader either. I think it's Card Reader Controller (there is a Flash Card Support Utility, but I'm almost certain it's the other one)
If you would click on More Info which is on the right of the driver page, then you could find all details about the drivers.
The Flash Card Support Utility is not driver but utility (the name said everything) and this utility controls the FN buttons.
Visit the Toshiba European driver page and choose your notebook model.
Then try the Vista 32bit driver called Flash Media Driver (dont mix it with Flash Card Support Utility). The Flash Media Driver v 2.0.0.6 is for your Bridge Media Slot. This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.

Satellite A200: Cannot use external USB devices properly

I encountered a problem with my Toshiba notebook and i can't fix it and I am in need your help please..
The problem is that when i connect a USB portable device (external USB harddisk , iPod ,Flash memory ..etc) with more than 8GB of Memory..
It's not properly installed in device manager and appears under "universal serial bus controller ".
But it doesn't say that it's an unknown device. It appears normally with its name, but it's not properly installed (it doesn't say that either ) where it is supposed to be under a specific category (harddisk under "disk drives" , camera under "imaging devices " and so on )
And i can't use the device because the HDD doesn't appear in "My computer" and my iPod can't be used
I'd like to inform you that this problem is with all USB devices with more than 8GB of memory.
Not just one device. I tried many devices to make sure that it's not a problem with the device.
So it's a problem with my laptop and i installed Windows many times with no progress.
Thanks for your help in advance ..

Is it XP or Vista?
If its XP, ensure you have at least Service Pack 2.
This hotfix may help XP see high capacity media:

but that wouldn't really affect external USB HDD's.

Some Microsoft Windows Update cannot be insatlled - Satellite A200-W00

Hi,
I Have been having a problem with updates on my Toshiba Satellite A200-W00 Machine. I have two particular updates that continuously fail.
I have been in contact with a Microsoft personnel who has been sending me step by step trouble shooting to try but I've had no luck. These updates are:
*Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB956390)*
*Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB955519)*
*Security Update for Windows Vista (KB953155)*
This was one of his emails
From the problem description, I understand that several updates failed to be installed, and you have tried some troubleshooting suggestions, but the issue still persists. If there has been any misunderstanding, please let me know.
Given this situation, the issue may occur if the related system files are corrupted. In order to continue troubleshooting it, please first temporarily uninstall the security programs, and test the update again. If still failed, please take your time and try the following steps to repair the system.
In-place upgrade
==========
Though this operation will not remove or modify the installed programs and files, I still suggest that we backup the important files before doing this. In addition, we may have to reinstall the device drivers after this operation. Thank you for your understanding.
1. Start the computer and access Windows Vista.
2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click Run, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK.
Note: Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
b. Click Install now.
4. When you reach the Which type of installation to you want screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the system files of Windows Vista.
After it completes, please try to update again.
Please try the above steps and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
I look forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Bill
However Vista was preinstalled on my laptop and obviously I don't have the disc. Anyone know where I can get hold of it or have the same problem with similar updates. I've tried disabling my antivirus, firewalls, antispyware disk checks, clean ups etc and nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

In my opinion updates issue have nothing to do with notebook manufacturer and I also think that Microsoft is the right address where you must ask for help.
About missing recovery DVD there are no many options for you. If you don't have it you can order new copy for you. The right address is https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
Bye and good luck!

G555. Need drivers for SM Bus and another Unknown device for Windows XP.

I try to install Windows XP on my G555. I got all other drivers, but cannot find drivers for SM Bus and an Unknown device. And what's this device?
The second problem is that after I installed all the drivers, the card reader disappeared. It was there after I installed Windows XP, before I install drivers.
Thanks a lot.

Solved!

Hi Simpleguy,
Welcome to the forum!
In thinkpads, it's usually intel chipset driver. For AMD based G555, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the driver you need:- http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_2476.html
As for other unknown device, find it's PCI ID with any other known information and paste here.
Hope it helps.

Satellite A200 - Cannot change language on Toshiba OEM CD

Hoping to find some help on how to change my Toshiba Satellite A200 from Spanish Language to English.
I asked a friend to buy me this notebook from Spain, unknowing to him the OEM came in spanish language and the recovery CD as only is only spanish but i don't understand spanish and i have been finding it difficult to go about the notebook since i don't want to click the wrong thing in spanish.
Even when i install programs, it automatically installs in spanish and this is really frustrating,
Somebody HELP!!!

The notebooks are country specific products. That means that every notebook manufacturer offers product with country specific keyboard and operating system.
Toshiba recovery image is not multilingual installations image and you cannot install Vista on English using this DVD.
What you need is Microsoft Vista installations DVD on English language. Drivers, tools and utilities for your notebook on English language you can find on European Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

Satellite A660-10W - After Windows 7 installation some unknown devices

So I have the Satellite A660-10W, and I reinstalled the Windows 7 it came with Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. First thing is when I use fn+F6/F7 (other combinations work) for brightness levels it doesn`t work, brightness doesn`t change. And the other thing is that there seem to be some unknown devices.
Here is everything hope someone can think of what could it be, thanks in advance. :)
Link: [http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/B4/3E/3ca598fbde5fb43e.png]

OK you and my friend are right, because I installed the video card drivers from nvidia`s website, not from toshiba, now brightness works :D
And I reinstalled Windows because one thing there were no partitions only one lonely drive and I wanted 30-40gigs for windows and the rest for stuff, not when I decide do reinstall lets say a year later with work and media on it to lose everything. I didn`t do any back ups, even all the shop assistant talked about when I bought it was to buy some dvd`s and backup, but I said I never did that before so why would I need it now, anyway now everything works perfectly, iI`m prepared for the next time :D , thanks for the help. :)
