Try a system reset. Power off your unit, unplug everything including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds, replace the battery and AC, power on, at the Toshiba logo press the 'F2' key to enter setup, in setup press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit, boot into Windows and test your sound.
If this doesn't work give us your current operating system version, like Windows XP 32bit.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • Toshiba equium A210 laptop drivers issue

    hi sorry if this is in the wrong place but new here and didn't know where to post it i have the laptop specified above which according to this website doesnt exist on the drivers and support page
    i have had to wipe the computer after acquiring it from my brothers girlfriend because if you could download it she did and it was running slower than british rail
    now i find that i cannot connect to the internet and have no audio or anything because understandably all the drivers are missing
    where can i find the drivers for the chipset and LAN and audio please
    thankyou for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future
    Solved!

    Since that appears to be a U.K. Model, your downloads and other support should be HERE at Toshiba-UK.  This is the site for US. Models only.

  • Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

    I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
    When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
    Questions are;
    1) Where can I get these drivers from?
    2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
    3) Am I right about what I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

    How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
    Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
    Introduction
    These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
    Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
    This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
    Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
    Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
    You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
    Method
    Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
    Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
    Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
    Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
    This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
    Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
    Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
    Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
    To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
    The other required drivers that we found on the web were:
    Intel chipset device software installer

    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=14528 &strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-021273.htm
    Select 'Download Intel chipset software installation utility' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    Select 'INF Update Utility - primarily for Intel 3, 900 series chipsets'
    and download it.

    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
    Now select 'software and drivers' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    You will be presented with a list of files.
    Select Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)
    and download it.
    Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Web page
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=175
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do?reload=false
    On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
    Creating the XP Drivers disc
    Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
    You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
    Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
    Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
    When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
    Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
    Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
    The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
    On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
    Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
    You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
    Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
    Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
    Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
    Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
    Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
    You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
    -As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
    Hasta La Vista!!
    Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
    Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
    Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
    The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
    Select to install Windows.
    Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
    Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
    You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
    Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
    Now install XP as instructed.
    Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
    Run the three driver files:
    win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
    infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
    setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
    Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
    Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

  • How to install Win XP on Equium P200

    Hi guys,
    I found a very usefull tutorial how to install windows xp onto Equium P200 laptop.
    Problem is that when I have done everything whats in that tutorial (used nlite, made xp install cd with sata drivers) Win Xp is showing error.
    When u boot from cd, and all the drivers are loaded it will show me a blue screen saying that the installation was stopped to prevent damage to my pc, and its saying that the error is in file pci.sys ...
    Any ides what it could be?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Im not 100% sure why this error appears but Ive got one idea.
    Possibly the installed Intel Matrix Storage Manger doesnt support the right chipset.
    Ive tow different Intel Matrix Storage Manger versions and both versions support different chipsets.
    Fact is that different Equium P200 series exist which needs different drivers.
    I think you should visit the Toshiba European driver page and should choose the right notebook series! Please compare the series number which can be found at the bottom of the unit!!!
    Then try the installation again!

  • USB ADSL Modem fails to install on Equium P200-1ED

    I have a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED; Model Number# PSPB5E-003004KS.
    I wish to use my Thomson SpeedTouch 330 - a USB bus powered USB ADSL modem - to my Toshiba Equium P200-1ED and have downloaded Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver from this web-page:
    http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
    ... however when the Vista modem driver is executed, the software fails to recognise the Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem when the driver software prompts me to connect the modem.
    The Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem works perfectly when used with my old Toshiba/XP laptop (which was how I downloaded the Vista driver for the modem for the Equium).
    What is wrong?

    Problem Solved!
    Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
    However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
    I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
    http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
    ... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
    The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
    Thanks for your help.

  • Is the Equium P200-1ED capable of powering USB devices connected to it?

    (1) Possibly related to my previous question is anyone able to confirm whether the Toshiba Equium P200-1ED is able to power external devices connected to it via its USB ports?
    (2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
    What is wrong?
    Please advise.

    I presume you ask again for the advice related to this question:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=115026#115026
    From my knowledge all USB ports supports the USB standard and provides 500mA.
    But sometimes an USB device needs more as 500mA and then you will have to use an external power supply for the USB device.
    Sometimes its advisable to use an USB hub which supports an own power supply.
    > (2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
    As I said, possibly some 3rd external USB devices would need more as 500mA and in such case you should use an external power supply for the USB devices.

  • Equium A60 Laptop crashes/blue screen when LAN Cable is in?

    Hi all,
    I have a Toshiba Equium A60 Laptop now for under a year.
    I am running WinXp Sp2
    Yesterday, my laptop started to crash flashing a blue screen (No time to see what it says as computer Restarts too quickly).
    I found that it only seems to crash when the LAN Cable is plugged ine.g. If I start the Laptop it will start-up as usual but when it starts to communicate with the network/router (as I can see by watching the little blue Screens in the Task Bar Bottom right) it Crashes. Ive tried a different port on the router but no luck.
    My Network card is: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
    It runs ok in Safe mode and doesnt crash.
    I updated the Driver but and it still does the same.
    I then decided to restore my Laptop back to Day One/Factory Default via the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
    When restored it worked fine all day (had internet access via the network) until I clicked: Set up a home or small office network in the control panel. It crashed again the same way. Now it will continually crash as above.
    Could this be a problem with my cable?
    Please help..Any ideas?
    Thanks loads,
    Shay

    Hi Shay,
    The blue screen of death (BSoD) can be a particularly annoying problem because it can be very tricky to trace the source of the crashes.
    Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_screen_of_death for some more information on it.
    Common causes are ...
    - faulty hardware (could be the network card, or ram, or hard drive)
    - bad device drivers
    - overheating
    - corrupted software/operating system
    As you said that you've used the recovery DVD and the problem still persists, this says to me that it is a hardware issue (as long as image loaded on with no errors and DVD is in good condition).
    Easy things you could try are ...
    - changing the network cable (unlikely the problem but always worth a try)
    - checking the network card port for debris/damage
    - reseat the ram/hard drive
    - load on an operating system from scratch, if you have it (not using recovery DVD)
    If none of these work and the laptop is under warranty, get the motherboard/network card replaced.
    If not under warranty, try the debugging tool for Windows ... http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx
    Good luck!

  • Equium P200: sometimes looses WLan connection

    Hi there
    Looking for help, my Equium P200 sometimes looses connection to the net. My partners do not!
    Also when in other peoples it losses signal so I know its the laptop, its very intermittent , it can go for months and nothing then it can do it twice in one night!
    When it does happen I run the off line help it says that there is nothing wrong with the pc! It says there is no networks to connect to despite i know there is any ideas
    I think its a Atheros or something similar. Sorry so vauge

    Hi
    You could try to update the WLan driver in most cases this helps
    The BIOS update would be also advisable if a newer BIOS version is available on the Toshiba European driver page.
    Sometimes something like that happens to me if it happens I click right on the WLan icon in the taskbar and choose repair.
    Mostly this helps to get the WLan back

  • Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed

    A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
    Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
    Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
    I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
    Any help very gratefully received!
    Cheers.

    Hi
    The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
    Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
    However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
    Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
    [Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
    Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
    But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!!

  • Toshiba Equium L40 - Recovery Fail

    Hi,
    My toshiba equium L40 started to become really slow so i decided to start over fresh, so i put in the recovery CD that i got with the laptop and started the recovery, chose the language and the DOS screen pops and starts doing what it does but it then gets stuck at 58% and then eventually cancels.
    whats up with it and how am i going to fix it ?

    It sounds like either your HD or the DVD is having a problem.
    I'm guessing that you have a Toshiba Europe machine?  You might check their forums to see if they have any specific knowledge of the issue.

  • Second HDD on Equium P200-139

    Hi everyone,
    Does anybody know if I am able to put a new HDD as second drive in my laptop, It has a spare drive bay HDD2.
    My model # PSPBNE-004003KS. Model. EQUIUM P200-139.
    Many thanks.
    Steve

    Hello. I have a P300-16T and have just had a look at the second hard disk connection. I took out my original disk and see if it slotted in and it did. The only thing that did not work was that the second hdd cover has 'feet' on it so when a drive is in there the cover cannot be screwed back in place securely. Can I get a different cover from Toshiba - one that fits - or do I have to 'shave' the feet off so that the HDD case can screw back in nicely?
    I do know that Tosh do do a P300 with two hard disks in it (PSPC4E-03400EEN according to PCPRO) using the same chassis so the cover for the second HDD must be different in this model - unless they have just shaved the feet off....
    Thanks

  • Equium P200 wont power up

    Hi Please help.
    I have a Equium P200 notebook which was fine but now wont power up if I connect the power lead the ac light flashes blue (not solid like normal).No battery light but still wont power light I have checked the power lead for voltage and it seems ok.

    Hi!
    This sounds like a hardware issue. You should try this workaround:
    Remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor. Then wait one hour. After this connect both devices again and try to start the notebook again.
    If it doesnt work your notebook should be checked from an authorized service provider. On the Toshiba website you can search for nearest one.

    My 17" screen on my equium p200-178 has gone funny colours as if when looking at any pictures there is far to much saturation on the screen.
    I have plugged in an external monitor and that screen works fine.
    So i am going th have to change the screen.

    Thank you very much PauPau for your brilliant reply. I have a very good friend who is more than competant to perform the work it was just a case of the fact that after an extensive trawl of the net i have found the 17.1 " screens for most of the other models in the 17" of satalite range and even the 17.3" for the satalite L550 at one stockist at sensible prices but they just dont list them for the Equium P200, where as most other stockists had listings for all the ranges of what seemed to be the same screens.
