Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7): unable to update firmware under Vista

Hi,
I tried tp upgrade the firmware of my HD-DVD drive (SD L802B) with the new TO35 firmware, but it is not possible. The upgrade button of that Winvup is not selectable. I had the same problem with an older firmware, but i just thought this was because the firmware was up to date ( notebook is 1 month old).
Winvup displays my drive as "TOSHIBA DVDW/HD SD-L802B TO01 (10/26/07)". The discription of To35 says, it needs a version of TO33 or T034, is that the problem?
I got this firmware update form [Link to firmware|http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE&mode=allMachi nes&action=search&teddProduct=737]
so it should be the right one.
So what can i do to upgrade my drive? Currently watching a HD DVD is not possible :(
Thx,
Holger

Its not possible to update the firmware on your SD-L802B drive because the firmware released on the Toshiba page was deigned for the TS-L802A drive.
Don't mix these both drives! It's not the same!
I found this website about SD-L802B Super-Multi DVD Writer
http://www.storage.toshiba.eu/index.php?id=3&pid=221
But according to this page the firmware is not available for this driver ( at this time ?:| )

  • 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?

    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 - 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: 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-PSAE7E is not recognising USB Sennheiser Headset

    Any one can let me know why my toshiba Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE7E is not auto recognising USB Sennheiser headphones?

    What do you mean with auto recognising them? As far as I know the Sennheiser ones with USB connection have a built in soundcard and therefore you would need to install the drivers.
    Had Sennheisers too, but with normal stereo jack and not the USB ones. Maybe you could post the specific name of your model.
    And to check if your system find your headphones anyway, go to control panel - system - device manager and watch if something changes, when you plug in your headphones.

  • "Common module" missing for XP on Satellite Pro A200

    Hello everyone,
    I received my Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) laptop with a Vista OS.
    I have made a fresh & clean XP installation on it using the Toshiba's installation instructions document.
    Everything is working fine except my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys for Wireless and screen brightness.
    I have made a few search over the internet and I found that page :
    - http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7401VB0003R01.htm
    Looks like that I need to setup "common module" installer in order to make work those hotkeys.
    But the problem is that the "common module" is not available on the driver page for XP ....
    If I change the OS type to Vista there is "Value Added Package" available but it's not compatible on XP ...
    I tried to download and setup a "common module" for Sat Pro A120 model but i got an "TVALZ" error during the installation ....
    Did Toshiba support forget to put online a "common module" installer for XP for Sat Pro A200 ??
    How can I make work my Fn+F6 Fn+F7 Fn+F8 hotkeys ?
    Any help will be really appreciated !
    Thanks,
    Can

    Hello darkmatterman,
    First of all thanks for you reply and for your tips about the Bios version (Vista vs XP).
    The first day I received my laptop on Vista OS, I already made a Bios update "the Vista compatible one". So my Bios is v1.70 actually.
    I will try monday morning to update the latest XP compatible Bios version which is v5.20...
    Do you know if it's possible to apply the latest XP bios upgrade on a bios which was already been upgraded with a Vista compatible version ?
    And if the XP comptabile Bios upgrade works, do you think that I will need to setup my fresh XP again (with all Toshiba drivers & utils setup order...) ?
    Regards,
    Can

  • Some devices are not installed correctly on Satellite Pro A200

    I have Satellite Pro A200 psae7e. and I have also a problem with PCI memory controller, Modem device on high definition audio bus, mass storage controller because they're marked yellow in device manager.
    My lap works fine... sata works fine, graphic controller & etc. Everything in natural order. but I don't want yellow icons in device manager.
    How to resolve this problem. I've installed all drivers, but there's still that yellow icons appearing.
    And could someone tell's me what is PCI memory controller? Is that shared memory?

    The PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory also called Intel Flash cache logic chip
    Its a new technology designed to support new Vista capabilities.
    There is no driver for it for Windows XP, because XP doesnt support the cache function.
    The Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller component supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) AC adapter device objects that the operating system uses to manage power resources.
    Seems you BIOS does not support this!
    Update the BIOS to the XP version!

  • WXP WLAN Driver installation on Satellite Pro A200

    Hello,
    I installed Windows XP SP2 for a customer on Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) and installed after is talked to the German support hotline every driver like in the test-instal.txt but I don't get the Atheros WLAN card work.
    It is an ar5bxb72 from Atheros, but no way.
    I get every driver in that list working with the hardware but not the WLAN-card although I installed it like in the list.
    Anybody got a hint for me?
    Greets
    Marco

    Hi dude
    Are you sure the notebook was equipped with the Atheros WLan card? According to some information which I found in the internet, this notebook was delivered with Intel or Atheros WLan card!
    I have checked the Toshiba page provides an Intel WLan drivers and Atheros Wireless Lan Client Manager. The Wireless Lan Client Manager is not the driver but only the tool which helps you configure your wireless network card and gives you more configuration options than the windows embedded configuration functions.
    I would recommend downloading the WLan driver from this Toshiba WLan portal:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    By the way; if you use XP on this Vista preinstalled notebook then you will have to update the BIOS to the XP version too!
    Greetings ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista installed/dual boot possible?

    Hi,
    I am not sure if I am right here at XP OS but I post it as it is OS related.
    My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) runs smoothly with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.
    Basically I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on one system. *But*, Satellite Pro A200 notebooks are shipped with a BIOS for XP and one for Vista and with information that you have to install the correct one. For me this means that you have to install BIOS for XP when running XP and BIOS for Vista when running Vista.
    Question:
    Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and having so XP BIOS installed?
    Boot loader would be Acronis OSS as this loader already manage my two XP partitions.
    Many thanks for any information!
    Best regards,
    Andreas

    Hi
    In my opinion there are no serious reasons why you shouldnt be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.
    Ok there are different BIOS for Vista 64bit, 32bit and Win XP but your Vista should run also using the BIOS for Win XP.
    Ive got other Satellite notebook series and Im able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean Ive got a choice to boot either the XP or Vista ;) and Im still using the old BIOS version.
    Ok some functions are not available like FN keys but this is not very important for me.
    Well, to cut this story I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

  • 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 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

    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
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
    When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
    Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
    Thanx in advance,

    Hi,
    You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
    If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
    It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....

    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 A200-16N: 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.

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: Need Lan and display driver for XP

    Hey
    please help me!
    I have just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but i have had trouble with the drivers.
    At the moment I have installed most but from this site i can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, nor my video NIVIDIA drive...
    any suggestions would be very valuable

    The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is not known to me. I know only the Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1, PSAE4 and PSAE7. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?!
    If you cannot find the single XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and the graphic chip which is installed on the motherboard and use the XP drivers from the chip manufacture.
    If you need an graphic driver I would recommend using the drivers from the www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com site
