Two issues with Equium P200-178

Hi All,
I have owned my faithful *P200-178* (PSPB2E-001002AV) for a few years now without any issues until recently. It has windows vista home premium installed.
Firstly the built in wireless (PA3613U-1MPC) has stopped working after a "friend" dropped it! The switch does operate ok but the light no longer works. I have reinstalled the driver and it has not made a difference. When installing the software a message was displayed saying that the wireless adaptor was not installed. I have even tried a wireless adaptor from the same model and this also doesn't work. What is strange is when you use config free it knows that the switch is either on or off but can't find the adaptor. The device manager also can't find it.
Secondly after my Kids downloaded an image for their school homework the laptop had a nervous breakdown! I have all the latest antivirus software and check the system on a regular basis. The image has been printed off and has now been deleted. I used to turn the laptop on and off with the power switch and not via the windows shut down facility. This doesn't work any more. After lifting the lid, pressing the power button nothing happens. However by pressing the "music icon in a box with 6 sparks coming from it" (sorry for the pathetic description) the laptop switches on. Windows Vitsa is displayed and all initially appears to be ok. During boot up a message saying:
Checking file system on \\?volume {ef*****-long serial number not shown in case its unique-806*********}
The type of file system is NTFS.
volume label is winRE.
One of the disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue
Windows will now check the disk.
CHKDSK is verifying files (etc,etc,etc)
File segment 24,25,26 and 27 are unreadable, are repaired (I think as the info is too quick to read) and eventually boots up. The laptop also restarts itself now.
WHAT CAN I DO IF ANYTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS / ISSUES?
Thanks in advance

Hello
In my opinion in first case there must be some physical damage and I don't believe there is something you can do to fix it. I presume notebook must be disassembled and WLAN port/switch must be checked by technicians.
About second issue I cannot say much but in my opinion you should backup all your important data and install OS again using delivered recovery media. With Clean preinstalled OS you can test WLAN functionality again and also power button functionality.
I know it is most radical method but doing this you will be able to test notebook functionality with factory state and without some strange files or entries in preinstalled OS.
What do you think about all this?

  • Equium P200-178: 17" lcd screen has gone funny colours

    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.
    I need to know is do any of the other 17" laptops or notebooks use the same 17.1" WXGA lcd glossy screen that is ccfl with one back light, if so which models? and does any one know what the part number(s) are...
    Thanks

    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. Cheers very much.

  • Re: Equium P200-178 - What CPU for an upgrade?

    Hi
    I have Equium P200-178 Part Number PSPB2E-001002AV at the moment with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2080 1.73 GHz 533 MHz, Id like to upgrade it but which one I can safely go with?
    I believe im after the same socket as this one is Socket M but what speed can I go with i dont want to overheat it cause ill be using the same cooling system.

    Hey,
    It has nothing to do with warranty Even if your notebook is out of warranty Toshiba doesnt support such an upgrade. You can upgrade the CPU of course but *everything happens on your own risk*!!!
    Equium P200-178 belongs to PSPB2E series and according the specifications of other PSPB2E models they were delivered with the Intel Pentium T2080 CPU only so I doubt another CPU would work
    Anyway, maybe you can find another P200 owner here that has already upgraded the CPU ;)

    This is becoming very frustrating as it means I cant play cd's or dvd's on my laptop.
    Anyone out there that can give me any advice?

    Is drive disappeared in Windows Explorer?

  • 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!!!!

  • Gaming Issue on Equium P200-1ED

    Hello,
    I've been trying to use my Equium P200-1ED to play a few games and have encountered the same problem each time.
    Basically, the game will load, no problem, however, it loads into a small portion of the screen (right in the middle) making a few games (like Command and Conquer) quite difficult to play. I want to be able to play in Full Screen, can anyone help?
    I tried changing the resolution, but it didn't do much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, I am running Vista Home. I haven't done anything with it since I got it a year or so ago. Which drivers would need to be updated for it to work. just the two mentioned?

  • Two issues with iPhoto '09

    First of all, I'm running iPhoto 8.1.2, on a system running 10.6.8. The issue described below isn't something that occurred suddenly after an update, as far as I can remember.
    There are two issues: first of all, iPhoto won't import my JPEGs that I processed with Lightroom. I did that so many times, and there was never an issue, but for some reason, now I get the message that the file is in an unreadable format. To find out whether the problem resides in iPhoto or in the files, I took a picture that I already had in my library, renamed and tried to import it again, to no avail. Also, I opened the new pictures in Preview, and there was no problem there.
    Secondly, I can browse through my events, and see my thumbnails. However, when I then double-click on any picture, iPhoto just shows a black void -- even though it says '1 photo selected in 1 event'. This applies to all photos in the library.
    I would really really appreciate feedback on this issue, as iPhoto is my main image displaying/sharing application.

    Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but the problem persist in the other account. As I said before, I also tried to reinstall iPhoto, after using AppCleaner to uninstall first. Something else I could do is uninstall all iLife components, and then reinstall the whole suite. Is it enough just to clean up iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and Garage Band?
    Another thing I (re-)tried is to use iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library. To no avail, alas, but at least it provides a log with the error message, part of which I reproduce below. At the same time, iPhoto complains about the 'unreadable format' after every Event that ILM tries to rebuild.
    Here's the log message:
    11-11-19 18:12:35.330 Importing event "Poes, 50mm"...

  • Two issues with JnlpDownloadServlet and JDK1.6.0_03

    hello everybody,
    i recently tried to deploy a simple java application via webstart using the JnlpDownloadServlet of JDK1.6.0_03. thereby i encountered two issues for which i could neither find a solution nor a bug report. has anyone experienced the same?
    issue 1:
    when setting an explicit timestamp (e.g. TS: TS: 2007-01-01 00:00:00) in my jnlp file, jws always prompts me for an optional update (e.g. when accessing the jnlp the second time via browser) even though i haven't changed anything.
    i checked the code and in my opinion the problem is that in line 139 of JnlpDownloadServlet.java a new JnlpResource is created upon every request (esp. for the request to my jnlp file which should be macro-expanded). the lastmodified-attribute of this resource is always the timestamp of the (jnlp-) file on the server (see JnlpResource.java) which is of course NOT the same as the one i explicitly set vie TS: ... in my jnlp file. however, in order to detect if something has changed, line 159 compares the explicitly set timestamp (which is sent with the ""If-Modified-Since"-header, see 131) with the actual file timestamp of the server ("jnlpres.getLastModified()") instead of using the explicit timestamp of the jnlp-file. the latter is retrieved too late (during construction of the response).
    issue 2:
    in case i ommit the "href"-attribute of the "jnlp" tag in my jnlp-file, my application gets installed without asking me beforehand (which is wrong when creating shortcuts and the like). this is not the case if i use the "href"-attribute to point to itself. however, jws will fire multiple requests then. see related post in this forum.
    any ideas or experiences with these two issues?
    thanks in advance,
    stephan

    From the description you have I would first make sure that you have adequate coverage everywhere you need it.  Make sure that the phone can see an AP at -67dBm or better at all times.  Using the site survey utility in the phone would help you verify this.

  • HT1373 I have a new Ipad with retina display but two issues with itunes 1) I can not syncronize films&music with the library on my mac and 2) When I download music or films from itunes to my ipad from itunes store the download never finishes. Any help??

    I have a two problems with my new Ipad 2 operating system iOS 6.1.3
    1) I can not syncronize with my itunes purchaces that I have on my mac book pro (operating system mountain lion)
    2) When i purchase items from itunes store the downloads never finishes
    I have tried starting and re-starting. Resetting the Ipad to original settings and non of this have worked. Any idea to what I should do?
    Thanks a lot, Josephine

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Two issues with latest update for Windows

    I have noticed 2 issues with the new update.  When I have a file transfer I don't want, there is no longer a cancel link.  Also, when saving a file transfer that I do want, it saved it to the default location and updated my preferences to always do that.  It should respect the option setting to prompt me for a download location.

    KenMadsen wrote:
    My options are set to "choose a folder to save the file in each time", which is not being respected anymore.  The above reply does NOT address the missing ability to cancel an unwanted file transfer.
    Try again please.
    As long as you have a bullet in "choose a folder to save the file in every time"  then it will not save files to a folder or automatically accept incoming files.  The main exception to that is the initiation of a file for the first time on the newer clients.  If it pops up about the new automatic saving you would click on "settings" and toggle it back to you preferred setting.  The only other exception to that are images.  Images sent to you via a mobile are sent to the cloud and will be cached/downloaded into your media folder.  That cannot be avoided.  You can cancel ongoing transfers on your end but not pending transfers.
    I made this graphic to better break it down:
    If you find your Skype is not listening to your configuration changes beyond what was already mentioned, you can use the following program to reset your Skype configuration.  You will need to exit completely out of Skype beforehand, otherwise the reset will be incomplete.
    http://www.pcdust.com/Downloads/ListFix/ListFix.exe
    You can then rerun through the wizard, perform an initial file transfer, reconfigure your settings and those settings should hold.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Splinter Cell (I have two issue with this ga

    .) Hello, I got my soundcard for Christmas. I got around to playing Splinter Cell but I cannot update my game at all. The latest patch from UbiSoft .2b will not install at all. I get an error that tells me there was a problem with finding my version of the game. Does anybody here that also has an Audigy 2 ZS Gamer have this same issue with Splinter Cell? And is there anyway I can resolve this issue?
    2.) I finished the game but during one of the extra mission called Vselka Infiltration, I get stuck after activating the PC in the compression room that raises the submarine. I would like to see if an update to my game will work but since I can't I have no idea how to complete this mission.
    Please help me out if you can
    Thank you

    Bsoddart,
    Try moving the Audigy 2 ZS to a different PCI slot and see if that fixes the conflict as this is most likely the cause of the problem.

    Cant find a line in socket!
    Thanks Roy

    Hi,
    maybe you should try it, since no one maybe did it before (or maybe yes) :) and I dont think that you would damage something.
    Would be then great if you can share your experience with us regarding mic-in and the deck :)

  • Two issues with oracle BPM 11g PS4

    Greetings.
    Im actually developing a series of processes in the new BPM Suite but im facing some issues that are really affecting the desired outputs of the project regarding to the time of developement:
    1. I created data object based on a XSD, but when a need to make transformations in the BPMN process this object does not appear in the sources that you can add for the transformation. Is there something wrong with the XSD maybe ? (I tested in bpel process an i can create varialbles for transformations). (See the XSD type below)
    2. I have two human tasks, both of them with a custom implementation using the feature "ADF Task Flow based on human task". For the second manual activity, the data control that gets generated dissapears from my application (is not in the data controls section) and there is no way the get it back. Is this a bug ?
    Hope someone can help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Two issues with firefox (pdf and downloads)

    Hi,
    two points bother me since a long time:
    1. Reading pdf: In most cases I'm unable to read pdf-files in the browser. When I click on a link to a pdf a new tab opens and firefox loads. After some seconds the statusbar says finished (? in German it's fertig) but the window stays empty. Switching thorugh the tabs and back to the pdf results in not seeing anything but the last active tab.
    I already went to the preferneces and changed the pdf viewer for "\application\pdf" from acroread to evince but this didn't solve the problem.
    I'm on x86_64 so I have installed lib32-acroread from AUR. Currently I have to save the pdf and because of issue #2 I have can't open it directly and some for some pdf in the web this isn't possible.
    2. Downloads: Both, double click on the downloaded file and chosing "open containig folder" don't do anything. I tried the suggested sulution here but with no success: http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007 … nder-linux
    Thanks in advance
    Barghest.
    P.S.: My WM: awesome

    Unfortunately there is no "save as.." in their online service.
    These instructions may give back the right-click "Save Page as..." menu.
    From Preferences select the Content tab and have  the Enable Javascript button checked (true). Then click on the button labeled "Advanced..." From the next box that opens, uncheck "Disable or replace context menus."
    I run with all the boxes unchecked and have "Open new windows in a new tab instead" set, so I almost always have the full Firefox menus available. There are a few web pages that still defeat this setup partially -- some images won't save.
