Satellite X200 1AA - What is Toshiba x64 ACPI compliant?

I have a Satellite X200 1AA notebook with Windows Vista Premium SP1 and I received through Windows Update the following optional updating notification:
"TOSHIBA x64 ACPI-Compliant Value Added Logical and General Purpose Device".
What device is this? What does it do? Should I install it?

Hello
When you check Microsoft updates you will see several optional updates for WLAN card, LAN card, Synaptics TouchPad and c64 ACPI....
I don't want to do any updates for these devices because all tested drivers are installed and this update can change something and maybe make some problems.
I have removed check mark in front of these update options. In my opinion you should do the same.
If notebook runs well (all listed components) you don't need such updates.

Satellite X200-1AA - After recovery I have the previous BIOS version?

I recently updated the BIOS of my Toshiba Satellite X200 1AA with Windows Vista SP!. After a few days, I made a product recovery using the recovery CD. When the recovery is made, does the BIOS return to the previous version?

Hi!
No, the BIOS dont return to the previous version. The Toshiba recovery disk contains the factory settings of the software on your notebook and not the BIOS. The BIOS has nothing to do with the software on your notebook.
So dont worry, the recovery disk doesnt touch the BIOS and you have still the new version.

*Original:* 1024MB + 1024MB Memory 667MHZ / 512MB VRAM *Replaced:* Kingston Kingston KVR667D2S5/2G (I have this 2x)
*Original:* 200GB + 200GB Harddisk Drive (4200RPM) SATA *Replaced:* Only 1 HDD left, other one I will get back in 2 days.

HD DVD-ROM Drive
56K Modem / Lan
W-Lan (802.11 A/G/N)
1/3MPixel Web Camera
Bluetooth
Microsoft Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
_*My Problem:*_
I take out the battery, plug it in the power. Charging light turns on.
I press the power button, power led turns on. Followed by the hdd led turn on, which blinks real quick, stays on for 1 second, then turns of. The power led stays on during all the time.
2 seconds after the power button, a fan starts blowing, while the above mention hdd led blinks for 1 second, 2 seconds after the fan starting to blow, it turns off.
We are now 4 seconds farther, pretty much, everything stopts, except a very tiny minor humming sound. (I just left it on for a couple minutes, sound remains, nothing happens.) (While writing this all I left it on for 10 minutes, the laptop heats op a bit, the adapter gets hotter, but still only the very tiny minor humming sound.)
+So my laptop works for 4 seconds, wont give any screen (black screen) wont load even BIOS. What could be wrong ?+
_*Fixing?:*_
Ok so I left the laptop after a couple of months, being told it was dead, just getting it dusty. (Read history to get this)
But since last week, I figured its getting dusty, I never opened a laptop before, why wont I try doing that.
_+*I replaced the Memory modules, Slot A and B , both memories , same time, one at a time, all possible ways.*+_
_+*Since I have only 1 HDD, I used it in both slots. Looks to no difference. Using NO HDD, I do NOT have the very tiny minor humming sound!!!*+_
I followed a guide [http://www.irisvista.com/tech/] to open my laptop, to see what is inside.
Finding no lose plugs, but did find a certein oil, and some white paste.
Closing the laptop, to try it out, I accidently screwed a couple wrong screws in the laptop, piercing the top cover of my laptop, but no chips were hit during this :P (Yeah, Im a bit to strong, I should have figured using force for a couple of the screws wasnt the best thing I could do, but now i know :p)
*SOOO* My question, while I wait for the extra old HDD (getting it in 2 days). (Probably making no difference)
What could be wrong, more precisly. Should I like try taking out the video card or something ?
Is there something I should do with some soldering?
Any tips/tricks that could work, wether to fix the laptop, or to narrow down the problem , to a small part which i could replace ?
BEST REGARDS

_*History:*_
Not sure if this is any important, but just to let you know, if intrested what happend all to the laptop ;)
I bought the laptop at Shape Computers (in the netherlands) Asking this laptop mentioned above, with 2 things changed. I wanted more Memory, and I wanted windows XP. The shop told me this was possible. They bought me the laptop in, they replaced the Memory with the kingston memories. They installed windows XP instead of the Vista. They laptop did work at this very moment. So I bought the working laptop, with 1 year warranty.
With the folders extra given with the laptop, I was able to increase my warranty from 1 to 2 years for free, so I did.
After probably a couple of weeks I noticed that the laptop was getting real hot, after longer usage. But according to the manual this was normal.
I did use the laptop for gaming, but also 2 months for a gaming study. So I did take it several times to school in a backpack.
After not using it for school anymore I reinstalled Windows Vista 32 BIT
At a very point not sure when precisly I noticed that it wouldnt turn on (probably same problem as I have now) but I was really relaxed about it, tried it later, and somehow it did work again. This happend perhaps about 5 times in total.
Knowing something was wrong, I took it back to Shape Computers. They checked it. (Not showing me what they did to it) But they told me I had nothing to worry about.
After about 2 years I actually sold this laptop to my mom. She used it a couple times (she is like realy noob, just about computers in generally, not even knowing if she should double click icons or not) She took it with her a couple times on trips, and they after about 2 years and 2 months ... this problem happend.
My mom knows a guy, and a friend of that guy, works alot with broken laptops, which told me that the problem was the _+motherboard+_.
I decided to take it back to the shop. After a long progress being down there (about 6 to 8 weeks)(Me going to the shop like 15 times). The shop managed to tell me it was the motherboard. That the motherboard couldnt be fixed and that a new one would be way to expensive.
+(I Known at this very point, after getting the motherboard back, that this laptop was not screwed open yet. The screws were still brand new.)+
Funny information(not for me), during this period of about 8 weeks, they actually told me lies like ... I left a message at your voicemail, I DONT HAVE A VOICEMAIL ... sorry for the caps but im still xxxxxx about those lies.
So still believing the shop ... my laptop is gone .... dead ... but then since last week, I started looking into the laptop myself ...(Fixing)

Ok, the company did not reply at all ... I ended up sending another email. And they did reply with a automatic message. Now weeks later still nothing more then that auto reply.
While I was waiting I contacted another guy that knows alot from these laptops. Getting a new part would cost me about 300 euros, and thats just the part, not even replace time.
Considering the toshiba help I have gotten ... (pretty much none) in these last years.
I declare my laptop dead. And decide at this very moment, that I (ofcourse) never will buy toshiba hardware again.
I might pay a bit more at my Dell computers, but the support in the last 8 years with 5 different computer systems and 1 laptop. Has been perfect in compare to the toshiba support I have gotten in the last 3 years, which just fails.
Thx tho all you guys for the replys.

Installing a second operating system (Windows XP) on a Satellite X200 20G

Hello everybody, I would need your help on the following:
I know lot of posts describe parts of what to do (I spent sometimes on then), but I would like to limit at maximum the risks so I am looking for the most simple and exhaustive guideline for this change.
Why XP? Just because I run lot of astronomy hardware and software,and, well, Vista is not ready yet...
I am happy with Vista for other uses so I will keep it, install XP on the second hard drive and make a dual boot.
First fear: will I have all the appropriate drivers to jump?
I run a Satellite X200 20G PSPB9E-02G021FR and I have found on the Toshiba support site "some" drivers for XP, but it looks as if the display (at least) is missing...
==> 1) could you pls give me a link to a page which lists all the drivers for my specific system?
==> 2) could you pls point me to a post which describes the steps to follow?
==> 3) it looks as if nLite is the right choice to make the XP installation CD, but I assume I could not just launch it under Vista and capture my drivers for XP, is this right?
Thank you very much for your help

Well, excuse me *Gipsyman* I surely don't want to be a pest, but the need to install XP on the Toshba X200 20G (for example) is not a dream, it is a hard reality and in Europe I know tens of people (if not much many) who had to do so because their preloaded Vista was not at all answering their needs, and there was no longer Toshiba laptops available preloaded with XP.
I am member of a forum which is dedicated to the Toshiba X200, I can tell you that we love our Toshiba and are very happy ( /proud ?) of it and I am not sure how many have kept the original platform, but definitely it's very few.
By the way, Toshiba releases 32 drivers for XP in his European download page, so this does not happen by chance.
In fact lots of people are wondering for the BIOS compatibility under XP, so my purpose, asking this question earlier in this post, and trying to make our position clear in this one, is to make the part between what is the theory: e.g. "The Toshiba X200 is preloaded with Vista, all changes to XP is under customer responsibility and at his own risks" (let me smile a bit here as Thoshiba still kindly provides XP drivers....) and the reality: e.g. "hei guys!, be careful, if you update your BIOS while you are running XP, you take the risk to break something".... see what I mean?
I hope this clarifies what I (my European friends and I) need to know: what is the real risk of making BIOS updates while our laptops are running XP because we had to.
Pls, again, don't see anything aggressive in my lines (I really appreciate your help), just a willingness to make things clear.

Satellite C55D - missing driver - ACPI-compliant Device

Hello,
I have a Satellite C55d-A-15H -   Windows 8.1 64bit
In Device Manager I have an entry marked "Other Devices" with a sub entry of 'Unknown Device !'
A right click on this and "properties" says:
Device Type: Other Devices
Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: On Microsoft ACPI-compliant System
The drivers are not installed (code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device
When checking update driver via on-line - it fails with "Windows was unable to install your unkown device"
Does anyone know please what's this all about and is there a driver - I've looked at the Toshiba driver list and can't seem to find anything
thank you
fip_man

Satellite C55D-A-15H (PSCGWE-03C00XEN)
Downloads here.
It's not a driver, but supplied by one of Toshiba's utilities. Try this one.

Probably makes no difference anyway.

Re: Satellite X200-20F - Slow frame rate after BIOS update

Hello!
I have a Satellite X200-20F bought about 4 years ago. I changed the bios into 2.70 recently and I got a problem when I play games:
The performance of the laptop decrease suddently after a couple of minutes of playing. For exemple, when I play +Fable 3+ or +Duke Nukem Forever+, the framrate goes to 10-15fps from 40-50fps. I need to restart the game to fix that, but even that, the problem come back...
Before I had the 1.40 version of the BIOS and no problems.
What should I do?
Do you have any advises?
Thanks in advance,
Best reguards.

Hi Crowzer,
Im wondering that you have done a BIOS update if you had no problems before
I can only imagine that a BIOS setting is different now. So I would recommend loading the default settings in BIOS, then save & exit.
Also try updating your display driver. You can find the latest version on official Toshiba page too.

WLAN has stopped working - Satellite X200/N00, Vista 32-bit Ultimate (SP1)

When I purchased this laptop earlier this year, everything worked pretty well with no significant issues. A few weeks ago, however, my WLAN connection stopped working -- specifically, it does not get a valid IP address from the router.
Notebook is a Satellite X200/N00 (PSPBUA). OS is 32-bit Vista Ultimate (SP1).
It was working fine right up to the point where it stopped working. The router itself still works fine -- I have used the wireless connection with a completely different laptop since having the problem on the Toshiba.
This seems to be a fairly common Vista issue, but so far everything I've tried has failed to get me anywhere.
The router is a D-Link DSL-G604T. I have updated it to the latest version of firmware, but this has not made any difference.
In Vista I have disabled IP v6.
I have installed the latest version of the Intel wireless driver (v12.1.2.1). The hardware passes all self-tests, the only thing that fails is obtaining the IP address.
I don't know why the wireless connection just stopped working -- as best as I can recall, I had not installed any new software or updates just prior to it stopping working. It doesn't seem to be a hardware fault.
One thing I have not yet done is test the connection with a completely different wireless router (e.g., at a public access point).
That may be instructive, but not really useful, since I need to get it working with the router I have!
Any thoughts?

Hi
There are many different reasons why the IP address cannot be obtained.
In first case you should check if your firewall is disabled or doesnt prevent the IP address from receiving.
Secondly you should check if the TCP/IP protocol was set to automatic
You can find such settings in TCP\IP protocol properties.
Last but not least I would recommend disabling all security settings on the router and trying to establish the WLan connection.
Please check if the Mac address filtering was disabled, disable the WLan encryption, and check if the right SSID is in use.
If it will be possible to establish the Wlan connection then you could enable step by step the single WLan security settings on the router.
Bye

Satellite X200-191 - Error message with new BIOS

I have a Satellite X200-191 whit BIOS 2.70 on it when I wont to install Configfree than I get the messege that my laptop is not a Toshiba. And I got the program that you can install from Toshiba that downloads the drivers of your laptop that is not a Toshiba. But when I load the old BIOS 2.50 every thing is good no message that it is not a Toshiba laptop nothing white the same drivers. Is there somthing whit the BIOS update?
It doesn't happen when you update the BIOS from 2.50 to 2.70 only when you have 2.70 and do a clean install of Windows 7 64bit
Greetings

Hello
> But when I load the old BIOS 2.50
How you have installed the old BIOS? Older BIOS versions are not available on Toshiba website and downgrade can only be done from an authorized service provider because special BIOS update program is necessary.
Satellite X200-191 belongs to PSPB9E series so have you downloaded the update for this model or other model (PSPBUE) that would be wrong?
I read about similar messages here in forum and the reason was a replaced mainboard and the ASP did forget to write the DMI information. Did you exchange the mainboard?

Re: Installation of Windows XP on Satellite X200-23G - No HDD

I tried installing Windows XP on my Satellite X200-23g, once i got installed but as desktop was seen... blue screen of death.
Error occur and it went into restarting cycle... so i again installed VISTA from reconvery cd.
Now when i try to install XP from other CDs which i have, it says hard disk not found press F3 to quit. s
Someone plz enlighten me on this issue..
I need to install xp as my college progs and not vista compatible.

Hi
Your Windows Setup does not see the HDD because the SATA drivers were not included into the XP installation CD.
The new notebook generation are equipped with HDD SATA controller. But the Win XP or Vista dont have a SATA driver integrated.
SO you will have to download the Intel Matrix Storage Manger. There you can find the SATA drivers.
You could use nLite software. Its free and it will help you to create a new XP CD and to include the SATA driver. Then you could use this new CD for XP installation.
This Toshiba document might be helpful.

ACPI Compliant BIOS for Satellite Pro A30

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1GB RAM and P4 2.8GHZ CPU. I was wondering when toshiba would be supplying ACPI compliant BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, upon running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will run Windows Vista Business, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.
So I began the upgrade from within Windows XP and once the machine re-booted to begin the Vista installation I was confronted with the Blue Screen, stating that my BIOS wasn't fully ACPI compatible.
This seems like such a shame as the machine is upto running Vista, but Toshiba have not provided ACPI bios upgrades. My bios revision is 1.80.
Any idea?

Hi Keith,
I have an A30 also, after Googling around I've found that the A30 is ACPI 1.0 compliant and Vista requires ACPI 2.0, there is little difference and there are workarounds published on the net but they seem too complicated for me. The websites I've read think it is unlikely Tosh will release an updated BIOS as they would rather users upgraded their computers.
I've been to the BIOS (Phoenix) makers website and followed a link to BIOS agent. They informed me they haven't produced an upgraded BIOS yet but I should try again in 6 months.
I hope this helps a little, if I find anything constructive out I'll post it.

OEM Vista 32-bit - how to get 64-bit install disk - Satellite X200/N00

I have a Satellite X200/N00 purchased earlier this year. It came with OEM 32-bit Vista Ultimate preinstalled.
This has mostly been working well but for various reasons I want to move to 64-bit Vista.
If you purchase a retail version of Vista Ultimate it comes with both 32-bit & 64-bit versions in the box.
Does Toshiba offer 64-bit version as part of their OEM licence, and if so, how do I get a copy?

Hi
Something like that is not known to me and I doubt you could get a 64bit OS for free.
Maybe Microsoft provides such 64bit Vista OS if you buy an Microsoft Vista 32bit.
But the point is that Toshiba preinstalled Vista OS is an OEM version and a part of the recovery disk.
I doubt that its a case using an Recovery disk...

Need Windows 7 64-bit drivers for Satellite X200-21P

Hello everybody,
Hope someone could help me with my query.
Recently I have made a clean installation with Windows 7 64-bit and now I am having drivers problems. Except for nvidia driver which I have downloaded from their website, I could not find any other drivers and not even able to use the drivers that are in toshiba website.
My notebook is Satellite X200-21P.
Any suggestion or direction would be appreciated! Thank you very much!
Kind Regards
Suraj

For me is logic to check support at fist and then make decision which OS should be installed.
Fact is that your notebook model is not supported for Win7.
For me there are two options only:
-try to use Vista 64bit stuff
-check if some other notebook model with similar hardware is Win7 supported and try to use these drivers.
Sorry but I dont see any other solution for you.
