Cover of split near the hinges on Satellite P100

Cover orange on my Satellite P100 guard split by hinges, even if I now have to take great care to open and close the lid. Toshiba have replaced under warranty.

I think the hinge friction is too strong for the coverage. Someone at - it a similar problem and if yes what can we do?

It seems unnecessary to keep just replace the cover every time.

One of my friends sent the laptop to replace the top cover and everything was done for free! The warranty covered replacing.
Technicians of the ASP has changed the defective part and said that the new top cover has been used seems they have changed something on the cover of proximity to the hinges, because so far everything is ok

Happy new year :)

  • Satellite P100-284: I noticed a split near the hinge

    Hi - I also noticed a split near the hinge on the corner of the copper colored lid of my P100-284
    Today, on careful consideration, I can see that the hairline crack appeared near the hinge on the other.
    Looks like a design fault with the supports of hinge for me.

    Hello

    I put t know if it s design fault or not, but it should be permanently replaced by the authorized Toshiba maintainer.
    Contact the tech guys in your country and explain the situation with the slot on the upper lid.

  • Cracks appear on top of cases around the hinges on Satellite P100

    Hello

    I have a P100-227 that works perfectly, I use a TV room at home and a laptop when I am away from home. This for 80% of the time is open with the screen almost at 90 °, so I can get a good picture of the bed. As you can probably by now it is not constantly opened and closed as laptops are obviously designed to do.

    I recently noticed cracks have begun to appear on top of the laptop around the hinges. One sees something like this before? It's less than 6 months and I'll take that back to the shop for a replacement / repair, but was wondering if there is a problem from other users have?

    And before ask you, has not been escaped, bashed with a hammer, sat or used as a tray of coffee ;-)

    Hey guys

    I had a similar problem with my laptop and I contacted a certified maintainer Toshiba for a replacement. The guys were very friendly and the capital has been changed without additional worries.
    For me the small cracks of coverage are not a very serious problem and I have to open/close the lid with caution, but you know; It s boring so I contacted the guys and they changed the cover.

    You should do the same.

    Good bye

  • How can I change/turn off the led under the speakers on Satellite P100?

    How can I change/turn off the led under the speakers? (in Satellite P100 (PSPA6E))
    Now I see the light only in the left side, but when I bought the computer left and right led line lights blue under the speakers.

    Gazz's right. It is not possible to switch off the LEDs. If just one LED is on the other must be faulty. Contact the customer Service of your country partner. I'm sure they can disconnect one too if you n t need her.

    Hello

    You are a lucky man. This is a very new unit and I wish that I would also have one of the new Satellite models. But you know, the money is the key :(
    However, I don't think that it is possible to put out these fires.
    In my opinion, it is a part of the design of laptops. It seems very futuristically.

  • Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

    My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
    Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

  • Can I upgrade the Nvidia on Satellite P100-188 card?

    Hello

    Having the Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E back to the United Kingdom. It seems now that I have a faulty card of the VGA GF-GO7600-N-A2, which is separated from the motherboard (A000006530), which is good news.

    As I will have to replace it now, can I switch to the best map? I looked through google for replacement for 7600 cards, but have been unable to locate the exact card replacement. I have sent emails to different suppliers in the United Kingdom and now am waiting for answers. Nothing on ebay either right now, outside the chip 7600 Hong Kong, which would mean a soldering job?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Vista cannot find the mouse USB - Satellite P100 - 434 PSPADE driver

    * Need help to install a mouse optical usb on vista32 *.

    I have two mice, two optical usb, 1 wired and 1 wireless. They are the two plug-and-play so when to plug their vista must locate and install the right drivers automatically... it can't.
    Vista search drivers on the disk and hard on the internet.

    "" looking software... looking for an online software.. "."

    Then says:
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device."
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it.

    The system cannot find the specified file. »

    They are plug-and-play and just install automatically, there is no driver CD that come with the mouse.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite PSPADE P100-434 with Vista 32 bit purchsed new 2 weeks ago.

    Help, please... Thank you!

    It's strange, because the standard optical mouse should be installed without time and without the need of specific drivers.
    Did you check the homepage of the manufacturer for drivers?

    And have you installed all the latest updates for microsoft windows and SP1?

  • Cannot use the recovery on Satellite P100-227 disc

    I recently bought a laptop and decided to reset via the provided restore disc, to my surprise after having inserted the recovery disk and restart the notebook goes directly into Windows. Even if I went into the BIOS and set the CD/DVD drive as a starting point to the top, or even after pressing the F12 key.
    When the laptop is turned on the drive says that there is no data on the DVD, a double click on the DVD, it says 'insert the media into the DVD drive.

    My previous phone was a Toshiba Satellite 1900 303 and just to test and see if it was a problem with my recovery media, I've used the support of recovery on the P100 and it took me to the correct recovery screen. Then I swapped the media and used the recovery on the old 1900-303 Toshiba P100 and he returned to the correct recovery screen. This got me thinking so I tried a little more data CD / DVD and to my amazement it will read the DVD-R.

    No idea...

  • Only 1 hour in the battery of Satellite P100 - 429!

    I have two Tosh P100 - 429 portable Satellite purchased about 3 months apart. Two of them do not take their energy from the battery for more than an hour. I tried to run down the battery and full charge several times, but still this problem.
    Everyone knows about this problem?
    What is the normal duration of the battery lasts, said spec 2.5 hours.
    Thank you
    Stu

    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop! Please don t forget!
    All power needs; Graphics card to disc, CD/DVD, HARD disk

    If you run some applications of high performance battery power will be increased.
    Are you using Vista?

    Vista is wasting the energy of the battery! He needs a lot more power because the Microsoft OS initially as XP Pro or MCE.

    So please don t confuse ;)
