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)

Wi-Fi Sync with Windows 7 PC doesn't work

I have both an iPhone 5s and iPad-3. I use iTunes (latest version) in a Windows 7 PC. No problems to sync with the USB cable, but Wi-Fi sync is totally unreliable. I have spend lots of time reading all the information available online. Wi-Fi sync is configured right. It is not a problem with either Antivirus software or the Firewall (I have tried disabling both). I re-installed iTunes following the Apple support note on the subject. On one time after I reinstalled, Wi-Fi worked, but only for the first sync. When I turn on Wi-Fi in the iPad and iPhone, the iDevice always appear in iTunes but for a short while and it then dissapears. It is clear that they have some problem during the communication but neither iTunes nor the iDevice report any kind of error I could use to try to fix the problem.
It is really frustrating, and I work in IT ... From what I have seen online, I am not alone with this problem. I have several iphone/iPad apps that do Wi-Fi syncs with applications in the Desktop, and they work every time. I don't undertand why Apple can not implement a reliable Wi-Fi sync with iTunes. I don't think it is to sell more Apple computers/laptops since there are many with those that have the same kind of problem. Could it be to sell more USB cables ?.

Low screen brightness on Satellite Pro A200 psae1 with XP

I installed XP Pro with sp2 on this laptop and now when i power up the screen is really dull, so i have to put it into stand by and then turn on again and then the screen is fine. What could cause such a problem? All drivers are latest release. Please help as i have rolled out 30 laptops to our users and all are giving out to me!!!!

I wonder if you have tried to set the display brightness to the higher level by using the FN+F7 key combination.
The FN+F6 or FN+F7 combination decreases or increases the display brightness
Usually the installed Toshiba power saver controls the different power modes and the display brightness to save the battery power.
I would recommend checking this button functionality

Satellite L300-26K - After BIOS update the touchpad doesn't work anymore

Hi,
like recommended by tempro, I updated BIOS from ver.2.1 to 2.2 (windows-Version). After rebooting, touchpad incl. tips doesnt work anymore. In bios touchpad is enabled, in system it says unit is working properly. FN/F9 makes no effect. Reinstalling synaptics drivers - no effect - still dead.
Satellite L300-26K
Using Vista 32bit home
How can I restore BIOS to 2.1 again? (if i try the windows-bios utility from V2.1 it says it is still installed - so I cannot downgrade by this easy way)
Please help - I need my notebook without external mouse (this works)
yours

Hi enigmo,
I cant imagine that this happened due the BIOS update. Have you tried reinstalling Windows by using Toshiba recovery disk?
This BIOS downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider. The technicians can install every version because they have such special tools to make a downgrade.
On the Toshiba website you can find a list of them. Just give the guys and ask for that. They will help you! :)

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

That one did the trick

Satellite Pro A200 - question about BIOS update

I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that were installed recently.
In Toshiba's driver page (BIOS update) says:
"This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!!"
1) Should I update my BIOS(1.4) or is it going to be a problem for my XP windows?
2) Has anyone try it?
3) Is there documentation about the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc)?

Hi madmak
I think the description should be clear if the BIOS description says that the BIOS is only compatible for notebooks with Windows Vista then you cannot use it with Windows XP.
I think nobody should check if an Vista BIOS would be run on the XP notebook because mostly a wrong BIOS can damage the motherboards ROM on in your case some notebook features will not run correctly.
I didnt find also any reports about any fixed BIOS bugs it seems something like that was not published on Toshiba European site.
best regads and happy new year ;)

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 ;)

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.

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.

Re: Satellite Pro A200 - Won't boot with 4GB RAM

Hi,
I've installed 2 x 2GB, but it seems it doesn't work. The funny thing is that when running just one memory strip (so 2GB) it works, when running both it doesn't work and it freezes. These are the Samsung 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 6400s - 666 - 12 - E3
Ive' installed the latest BIOS update (64bit v2.60) for the Satellite Pro A200 and I am running Windows 7 64bit

Hi caribman
What Satellite Pro A200 you have exactly?
I ask this because some A200 models were equipped with Intel 943GML chipset and these models support 2GB only!!!

Satellite Pro A200: Windows cannot find WLan

Something's wrong with my laptop, I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with XP Pro SP3...
When I try to search for wireless networks using Microsofts program, it can't find anything, but TOSHIBA's ConfigFree can.
You probably say, that well use Toshiba's software then - that's not possible, cause ConfigFree supports only WEP keys, but most of Wireless keys used here are WEP-TSK or something - not supported by ConfigFree.
How can I make my Microsoft Windows to detect Wireless routers?

I knew it, but I just had to make sure.
I shall never install SP3 again.
To all people, DO NOT INSTALL SP3!!
Unless you don't have it allready preinstalled, in that case, it won't do any harm.
Case closed.

Satellite Pro A200 with Vista doesn't see other XP notebook in the network

I have Satellite Pro A200 Toshiba and I have some problems with the network.
The Inernet is upp and going but I cant find the other computers in my network.
Im having 3 other computer in a network. The A200 is having Vista and the other one is having just XP-pro and XP-home.
The network by the tree standalone is working fine but the laptop is not present in the network.
I've have checked the workgroup so it the same.
Is there anyhone thats having any idea how or whats the problem?

Hi again. Ive discovered how to solve the problem! Its the Norton Internet security thats causes the problem.
Just open the program, right click at the icon down at right, click at "Norton Protection Center"
Click on the "Norton Internet Cecurity", Wirewall settings, Commin Settings, Common Rules, Configurate,
Scroll down to "Standard-Block filesharing in Windows" Mark and "Modify", Mark the option "Allow" Save and go!
If You have understand what Ive written it should be working, the thing is that I have Swedish versions of all the software
so it might be a littel hard to understand the translation that Ive done. Try to use it and look for the most likness of my poor English.

Satellite Pro A200-1NB - Can I use Windows 7 64bit?

This is my laptop: Satellite Pro A200-1NB Part Number : PSAE7E-00V00CG3
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/autoDetect.do?service=EU&ACTION=PROCESS_DETECTION& TYPE=FORWARD&SOURCE=SMP&COUNTRY=&QSA=TRUE&MODEL=Sa tellite+Pro+A200&SERIAL=97348001K&service=EU&LOCAL E=&OSBUILD=7600&SUB_TYPE=SMP&OSBITSIZE=32&PANUMBER =PSAE7E-00V00CG3&ERROR=0
Can I use it on Windows 7 x64? I see that there are not all drivers present in 64bit version so I want to know if everything will work property with 64 bit Windows?
Thanks for reply
Mario

Hi buddy,
Youre right. According the Toshiba European driver download for Windows 7 64bit are not all drivers available. I have checked the downloads for Vista 64bit and therefore all drivers you need are available.
Vista and Windows 7 drivers are similar so you can try to use the Vista 64bit drivers. The most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7.
Furthermore if something will not work you can use other drivers from Satellite A300 for example. This notebook supports Windows 7 64bit and the drivers should be similar I think.
Good luck! :)

Satellite Pro A200 failing to connect with iphone hotspot via wifi

Apologies if I get some of the technical jargon wrong but I pretty useless when it comes to IT issues.
I have a Satellite Pro A200 and had problems connecting to various wifi connections.
The computer would see the wifi connection and connect to it but i wasn't able to connect to the internet.
The office issue has now been sorted by our IT support guy (security settings on the new router we too complex for my PC or something like that) but he wasn't able to solve the problem of not being able to connect to my iphone to use the 'hotspot' feature via wifi.
Does anyone know a way of solving this or is it a simple fact of the laptop being too old and really needs updating?
Thanks for any assistance anyone is able to give.

> Does anyone know a way of solving this or is it a simple fact of the laptop being too old and really needs updating?
This is not a question of notebook age
As far as I know not all mobile phone providers support this
You should firstly ask your mobile provider if you can use the tethering function.
If this would be supported my mobile provider, then you have to connect the iphone to the notebook firstly
For that youve got two options: you could use the BT connection (in such case check if notebook supports BT too) or via USB cable provided with the iPhone.
(PS: As far as I know tethering is support by iOS3.0 and higher)
After the iphone has been connected to the notebook you need to enable the tethering on iphone.
Under Settings -> Network you should see the option internet tethering this need to be enabled.
Now you should be able to see that in Network & sharing Center of the control panel.
