Satellite Pro A200-1F9 - FN buttons dont work

Hi
My laptop is Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (PSAE7E-007003EN) with Windows Vista Business x64 recently I have swapped my WLAN Wi-Fi card , from standard Intel pro ABG to Realtek 8191SE "N".
Card is recognized and visible in device manager, all drivers are installed, but no network available. System doesnt see any network. In addition I can't find and install proper TVAP which will allow me use FN+F8 combination.
Can somebody help me please solve that problem?

This notebook model is not supported for Win7 64bit. Try to use Toshiba value added package for Satellite Pro P300.
You can find it here .
Post some feedback.

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Cannot get hotkeys working on Win XP

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E which came with Vista on it, I have reinstalled it with Win XP Pro installed the relevant drivers from the Toshiba download page but cannot get the hot keys working.
I have installed the controls and control driver but this does not seem to work. Have seen a posting about 'common module' somewhere but can't seem to find any links to download it on the download page.
Can anybody help?
Many thanks
Iain

The Controls utility and the Controls driver allow you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings. But these are not a FN keys!!!
You need to install the Hotkey Utility if you want to use the FN keys.
Further hint:
Its important that all Toshiba drivers and Utilities are installed in the right order.
On the Toshiba driver page you will find a txt file called installation instruction.
Please install all the drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!
Greetings

Satellite Pro A200: Card Reader does not work after XP installation

Hi...
I have removed Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 in favour of XP Home.
I'm much happier with the machine now but am unable to get any response from the Card Reader. There's no mention of it in the User's Manual that came with the machine.
I can't find any reference to it in the Control Panel's Hardware Manager and nothing changes in there when I insert an SD memory card.
I didn't have cause to try the reader prior to removing Vista, so I don't know if it ever worked... although I imagine that it did.
Running a search for a driver in the download section didn't have any success and this forum has no direct answers.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to work?
Popa Mintin.

Hi
I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
What you need is the right driver.
The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
Cheers

Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

Hello,
I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
Here is what happens.
- Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
- After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
- If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanx in advance,
mme000

I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

Has Satellite Pro A200(GE)-1F9 DDR2 or DDR3?

Hi
I have phoned every retailer and manufacture contact there is, but no body seems to know;
What type is the GPU in the A200-1F9, is it GDDR2 or GDDR3?
I believe the hardware configuration is the same al over Europe, isnt it? With C2D T7300, 2 Gb Ram, 250 Gb HD AND ATI Radeon HD 2600 w/ 256 mb of VRAM.
But the thing that no Forum and "professional" personnel is capable of answering is if it is DDR2 or DDR3.
So please, make my day and help me. Cause Im getting quite aggravated?.
And do send a copy to ATI, Toshiba Sweden, and Every retailer that have this model.
Cincearly

Hi
The Satellite Pro A200-1F9 belongs to the PSAE7E series and its a part number: PSAE7E-007004N5. Am I right???
The notebook was delivered with the ATI Mobility Radeon X2600 graphic card (sometimes called Radeon HD 2600).
The code name is M76.
So I searched for +ATI Radeon X2600 code name M76+ and found these GPU specifications:
Video Memory -> External with TurboCache
_Video Memory Capacity_
Local cache 256MB/512MB
_HyperMemory Capacity_
0MB@Sys RAM 512MB
256MB@Sys RAM 1024MB
Please note that the *total* Video Memory is *sum* of _local cache_ and _Hyper Memory_ !!!
_Bus Width_
128bit@256MB(GDDR2) Local Cache
128bit@512MB(GDDR2) Local Cache
128bit@256MB(GDDR3) Local Cache
256bit@256MB(GDDR3) Local Cache
http://ati.amd.com/products/MobilityRadeonhd2600/index.html
It looks like thsi card supports both; GDDR2 & GDDR3
This is everything what I found.

Satellite PRO A200-1S1 with Windows 7 x32. Touchpad doesn't work

Hi everybody
I Installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1S1, retrieved all the drivers on Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the web camera that didn't work even with previous s.o. XP or Vista...). But my Touchpad doesn't work at all.... No Fn+F9, no driver, nothing works. And in my control panel-device manager seems to be everything ok.
Any suggestion?

Hi
Never had any problems with the touchpad using Win 7 32bit.
I recommend installing VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility to get the FN button functionality. Then you could try FN + F9
Both tools can be downloaded from Toshiba European driver page there you should choose Sat L500 series because I didnt find mentioned Win 7 software for A200 series.
Check also the touchpad drivers which I found in L500 download area (Alps a Synaptics)

Satellite Pro A200 - need Win7 drivers & FN buttons functionality

Hi,
i have little problem with my Satellite Pro A200-29N. I installed on him win7 and now i can't find drivers (only finded ValueAddedPackage).
The second are FN buttons they doesn't works :( befor i have WinVista

unfortunately no. I have 32-bit but I found driver, and only Value Added Package wanna to install and driver to ethernet. When i install sound driver or chipset driver they doesn't work.. so i download driver from realtek and it work. But still function button doesn't works...

Why doesn't any of the Function/Hotkeys work on Satellite Pro A200?

I have been researching for almost two hours now and found no solution.
What I would like to do is to be able to use the Fn Key for the hotkeys on the F0-F12 buttons, such as Fn+Esc to mute sound, or Fn+F6/F7 to adjust brightness on my screen. I am running Windows XP, that information is needed. The things I have tried so far was installing some of Toshiba Utilities, such as the Fn-Accessibility and Fn-esse, but they are still not working.
I have no idea why they haven't been working since I first got my laptop. Please help! Thank you!!!

I'm sorry about that, i thought this thread was undet the A-200 thread. Anywho I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, i'm not quite sure of the model number...when i use SIW it says
Version: PSAF4U-00D004 but that does not match any other models on this website...
Also, i read in the forums that if you convert your laptop to XP when it was originally Visa you had to download many drivers to have access to all the hotkeys. All i want to do is to have the screen brightness adjustment hotkey, how can I do that?
Somewhere in the forums said that I had to download the Power Saver Toshiba Utility driver and i have already done so but still does not work...None of my hotkeys work

Satellite Pro A200 Windows XP, 4Gb SDHC Card does not work.

Hi,
I have had a Satellite Pro A200 installed with Windows XP, SP2 for some time - No problems there, a great piece of kit. However I recently have bought a new camera and splashed out on a Kingston 4Gb SDHC card. The manual for my A200 seemes to indicate that it my laptop is compatible with SDHC cards to 4Gb however when I push the card in the LED flashes blue briefly and then nothing happens. My SDHC card does not appear to be recognised by the system.
I see no errors in my OS event log and I have checked the slots operation by trying an older 512Mb SD card and that works fine.
Can anybody offer any help please?
For reference this laptop is a Model PSAE4E A200.
Many Thanks in advance
Simon

If the above fix does not work (which it didn't for me on a Satellite Pro A100 running XP), try

Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4): DVD drive permanently blinking

Hello,
I have been using a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4) laptop for some time now without any major issues.
My dvd drive (tsst crop TS-L632H) is no longer working for a few days now... More precisely, its LED is permanently orange blinking. Drivers are up to date. The eject button doesn't work either. No disc is inserted. The drive seems fine in the Windows device manager...
If opened manually and if a disc is inserted in the drive, I can't see any data. Can't boot on the disc either.
I'm running under Vista 32bit SP1 with the latest bios available on the toshiba website (2.40).
Since I need to fix the frequently reported "black screen" issue before login prompt, using the windows installation disc
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks !

Hi
According to you page you are not able to boot from any CD or DVD, not even from the Toshiba Recovery CD.
Am I right?
To be honest, Ive no idea why such issue happened but in my opinion its related to the hardware malfunction and only the replacement could helps
I dont know how old you notebook is but maybe the warranty is valid and you could replace it for free
What do you think?

Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7: Blue Screen error - ati2dvag infitive loop

I've got Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7 with ATI HD2600 Mobility Radeon. I've downgraded to XP SP2. I get blue screen saying that ati2dvag went infitive loop quite constantly. Any solution to this?
Offtopic: Why standart display drivers from ati.com does not work? (while on my friends laptop with also hd2600 mobilty radeon works fine).

Hi
> I've got Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7 with ATI HD2600 Mobility Radeon. I've downgraded to XP SP2. I get blue screen saying that ati2dvag went infitive loop quite constantly. Any solution to this?
Usually the BSOD appears due to the serious software issue or hardware malfunction.
In my opinion its a software (driver) issue.
I presume the BSOD appears why playing some games in most cases the graphic driver must be updated.
If the XP driver from the Toshiba page will not help you could try the graphic drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net site. The 3rd party drivers should run on your notebook. But note; 3rd party drivers can be used only at your own risk!
> Why standard display drivers from ati.com do not work? (While on my friends laptop with also hd2600 mobility radeon works fine).
The original ATI drivers cannot be installed on a easy way because such drivers dont support an overheating protection. The Toshiba GPU drivers are a little bit modified and support an overheating protection. Such protection is necessary and important because the notebook graphic cards are not equipped with huge cooling module like the GPUs on for the desktop PCs.
The temperature increases on the notebooks much faster and therefore the graphic driver have to control the GPU performance to decrease the internal temperature.
Therefore its always advisable and recommended to use the Toshiba drivers ;)

You can use either the HDD recover or the Recovery disk.
If HDD recover does not work and if you dont have the disk then you could order this here:

Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

Hii!
Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
Also...
Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
I dont understand!
If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
Thanks!

Of course the Recovery CD will work.
The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
> Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!
> If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.
Best regards

Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7: Where to get the ATI driver for Win XP

Hi,
I have bought Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7 and it was with Vista on from the beginning. I decided to upgrade (/downgrade) it to XP but there's problem with driver to graphic card (Radeon HD 2600 Series).
I can't find anywhere ati drivers (actually I found it on ati.amd.com site, but on this forum I read that Toshiba drivers are modified so that Radeon won't be overheating) and I'm wonderig if Vista ones will run on XP (I've downloaded all drivers but ati one)?
...and is it possible to downgrade my Vista to XP Pro through Miscrosoft site (or something like that) or do I have to reinstall it using my old copy (provided with old Toshiba)?
Ps.
Sory for my English
Ps2.
Is it so important to install drivers in proper order?

> When trying to download driver from Toshiba web I get message:
>"This software has not been officially tested and therefore must be at the users own risk."
>I agree, but still can't download it.
You have to switch the option to Accept!!! Then the button Download will be activated!!!
>I found driver on ati site, but read somewhere that for Toshiba notebooks drivers are modified so that >graphic card won't overheat. Is that true? Or original drivers (of ati group) are as good as Toshiba ones?
As mentioned in this forum, the original ATI or nVidia drivers are designed not for the notebook usage!!! The GPU drivers are designed for the graphic cards which are used in the desktop PCs!!! Such graphic cards are equipped with an own, big cooling module in order to prevent the hardware from overheating!!! The notebook GPUs dont support such huge cooling modules and therefore the drivers must control the performance and the temperature growth.

Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
-What to do?
CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
Best regards
/peter

Hi Peter,
Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.
