Satellite X200-213 doesnt't start up

Hello, since this morning my Satellite X200-213 doesn't start up : the screen stay black, the Hard drive seems to work (HDD led is blinking and I can hear it).
Anybody have an idea about the problem?

Thanks for your help. I haven't used an external display with this notebook, but I have tried with an lcd monitor today and it works, but I have many blue screen and Vista can't start. If I unplug the lcd monitor, and use FN+F5 key, the notebook LCD stay always black. May I contact support ?

  • HDD exchange on Satellite X200-213

    Hi all,
    I will change my hard disk with a SATA II 7200t 160GB.
    Is it compatible? The BIOS see him or not, if anyone already change a SATA II.
    Thank you for helping me.

    Hi,
    Just for the test, I installed a Seagate Momentus 7.200 RPM 100Gb HDD.
    No problem for the BIOS to detect it, so I believe there won't be a problem for you.
    The curious detail is that I didn't find a dramatic speed difference in the OS boot or normal usage.
    So, I installed back the 300GB 4.200 HDD.

  • Screen flickering on Satellite X200-21k

    Hi!
    I bought Satellite X200-21k about 2 months ago and I haven't had any problems with it so far. Yesterday, while I was doing some work on my laptop and I noticed that the screen started flickering. Along with flickering, screen brightness was going lower and lower and at one moment it was really dark. I plugged in and out the power supply cable and the screen changed its brightness while I was doing that. At one moment, my left side of the screen was completely black while the right one was really dark. I restarted computer 3 times and it happened again and again and again. After another restart, screen looked fine. Now, while I am writing this everything is normal, but I am still worried about it.
    Do you have any advice for me? Do you maybe know the reason why this is happening? Could it be a virus? Could it be a power supply cable? Graphics card? :(
    Regards,
    Satellite X200-21k user

    Hi
    > Do you maybe know the reason why this is happening? Could it be a virus? Could it be a power supply cable? Graphics card?
    - Virus issue -> dont think this issue could be caused by any viruses or malware
    - Power cable -> maybe but I would tend to the monitor issue.
    There is a simply procedure to test if the graphic card malfunctions or not.
    You could try to connect the notebook to the external monitor and could test if the same issue appears on the second, external display.
    If the same will appear on the external monitor then the chances are that the GPU is faulty.
    But if the issue doesnt appear on external monitor then the internal notebooks display is faulty or the little part like the FL inverter starts to malfunction.
    However, it looks like a hardware issue and a hardware problem should be always checked by an ASP which is responsible for you country.
    Bye an good luck

  • Satellite X200-245 can i install a second HDD

    on satellite X200-245 : can i install a second hard drive ?
    is it possible ?
    There is a place for it but no sata connection on the mother board where can i find this connector

    No you cannot install the second HDD because there is no HDD connector which would allows to connect the HDD to the mobo.
    And No, its not possible to upgrade the mobo with such connector.
    The X200 has the two HDD bays because some X200 support 2 HDDs and some dont support it.
    Your X200 doesnt support 2 HDD

    _*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 ?

    _*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.

  • 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 X200-20G: Question about BIOS 2.20

    Hello,
    Could you please bring me some lights on the warning which introduces the BIOS 2.20 upgrade:
    *!!!* Upgrade the BIOS from Windows XP BIOS V5.10 only to VISTA BIOS V2.20 or higher *!!!*
    Mainly I am interested in understanding what is the relationship with XP.
    I have a Satellite X200-20G with the first hard drive loaded with Vista (default configuration) and a XP Home edition on the second Hard drive and I use the BIOS menu to boot on one side or the other.
    Thank you
    Guy.

    Hi
    On some notebooks the BIOS must be updated to the XP version if the Win XP OS was installed.
    The warning message says that if you have already updated the BIOS to XP version 5.10 then you could update it again only to the BIOS 2.20 Vista version.
    But it looks like the XP BIOS version for Sat X200 doesnt exist at this time and in my opinion you could overlook this ;)
    Best regards

  • Satellite X200 - No power management tab in BIOS

    I have a Satellite X200 and I'm trying to access the power management tab in BIOS, however no such tab exists. The reason being is that I'm trying to set up an automatic start up time. If it is any help, the BIOS is Phoenix TrustedCore V.2.10
    So I'm wondering where it is, or how to access the power management
    Thank you in advance

    Hello
    Why you need an automatic start up time?
    Sorry but such a function is not available. I never had a notebook that was able to set such automatic start up time.

  • 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.

  • No sound on Satellite X200 after XP installation

    Hi!
    I installed XP on my Satellite x200 LC10DC everything work but not the sound...
    I looked if its a problem of missing driver but after downloader and testing different driver its still doesnt work....
    In my Driver manager I find 2 driver missing, unknown device and PCI device and I dont know how to fix them.
    Could you help me guys?

    Hi
    The problem is that you need to install some Win XP patches before you will install the XP sound driver!!!
    Install firstly the *KB888111 and KB835221* Microsoft Windows hotfixes and then after new reboot you should install the compatible XP sound driver.
    After this short procedure the sound should works fine!
    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?

  • Satellite X200: WLan driver does not work using WXP

    Hi
    I'm trying to get the WIFI working under XP on my Satellite X200. I've downloaded these "wlan-intel-1244-7147" drivers but still no luck, also after installing these drivers I get an error when I shut down saying 'Sample program not responding'.
    This is a complete clean XP install, I gave up with Vista.

    Hi,
    if the intel drivers did not worked then try the atheros drivers which should then definetly work.
    Cheers

  • 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

    > Please note that you can use only the BIOS which were designed especially for this notebook series!!!
    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 X200 - How to find BIOS setup for Intel Storage Matrix?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm willing to enable the Matrix Storage feature on my Satellite X200-24X. The problem is I can't find any relevant option in the BIOS setup...
    Thanks !

    Hi
    The Intel Storage Manager is a driver and not an option in BIOS. The only option that you have in BIOS is the HDD access mode. There you can change between AHCI and Compatible.
    For AHCI mode that is faster you need Intel Storage Manager driver. For Compatible mode you dont need additional drivers.
    You want to know how to install Storage Manager? Just use the forum search, you will find hundreds of results. ;)
