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

  • 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.

  • Satellite C50t-A-10J: screw loose around the hinges

    Someone had problems with housing screws loosened around the hinges on a laptop via Satellite, and if so do they have suggestions for a solution?

    I have a C50t-A-10J. Within 4 months from first use hinges fixing screws loose and three is out.
    First of all, I noticed this separation autour hinges at startup box.
    I went back to John Lewis, who arranges for a fix, but less than a week to one of the bindings loosened again.

    Looking more closely this laptop I noticed that the hinges are quite steep and the flexible housing.
    This looks a bit on the fragile for a laptop.

    I'm now questioning whether or not it is human enough?
    I would be interested to hear from anyone with similar experience.

    Thank you in advance.

    > I went to John Lewis, who arranges for a fix, but less than a week to one of the bindings loosened again
    In my opinion you should go back to the dealer or should contact the Toshiba service to find solution to this problem.

    I mean it is a hardware problem and before you try to fix it by using some bad motivated method, I recommend you to ask some experts to fix under warranty conditions.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to turn off the blue lights under the speakers on Satellite P100?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the blue lights that lie beneath the speakers on a Satellite P100? They are evil in my sight!

    Thank you, John.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Temperature of the GPU on Satellite P100-102

    Does anyone know the values of normal temperature for the GPU from NVIDIA 7600 Go series? After replacing the motherboard by the service, the GPU reached 82 degrees Celsius (180 deg F) (without executing 3d application) and only the main cooler blows. Under 3D performance he attained values around 100 degrees Celsius.
    The values were obtained with the Everest program!

    Thank you
    Jan

    Hello

    Have you noticed the same temperature before replacing the motherboard?
    AFAIK the P100 supports a clean cooler graphics card.
    Two heat sinks are placed on the map: one for the CPU and a GPU.

    It seems that the GPU heatsink does not work. Why? Maybe the technician didn't properly connect I n don't know
    But try to contact the service guys again I think they should check again before the GPU goes dead

  • High temperature of the GPU on Satellite P100-108

    Hello

    Since 2 weeks ago I noticed that my GPU temperature goes up to 82 degrees. Everything to the left of the laptop gets hot after a few hours.
    I remember that a fan used to put on when obtained temperatures high, but lately I don't hear it. HARD drive and CPU temperatures are normal.

    If linux is used with acpi disabled, then a fan runs all the time and temperature of the GPU is around 50 degrees. I don't know what fan making all that noise, it could be the fan of the CPU or GPU maybe.

    So, I'm not sure if it windows or hardware failure. Any ideas?

    model: p100-108, last of the drivers installed
    Windows XP
    Everest used to measure temperatures

    Hello

    Is perhaps a problem with the fan. Please check this box.

  • How to change the size of the Cache of the Turbo on Satellite P100?

    I have P100-138 (PSPA3E) with 2 GB of memory.
    But I don't know where I put the size of the Memory Cache of the Turbo.
    I have GeForce 7600 dedicated to go with 256 MB of Ram, but I more than 256 Turbo Cache memory.
    I can't find this option in the BIOS v3.8.

    Are you sure that something like this is possible to do this with a laptop graphics card? I'm not 100% sure, but this option on P100 is unknown to me. Generally these characteristics are described in the document s user manuals.

    Did you already check this?

  • I can not turn off the microphone on Satellite p100-194

    No matter what I do, I can't turn off the microphone of shit, he's always watching on my speakers, I have all the right settings in the sound control panel... believe me!

    Does anyone know how to disable the security...

    * monitor on my speakers even when I uninstalled all the sounddrivers! ... * it seems to be a bios problem... HEEEEELP!

    is there perhaps a bios fix?... or no solution at all on this model, I use win 7 32 bit...

    Hi leon-k,.

    Usually, you can cut the speakers in the Windows sound settings. Go to control panel > hardware and sound > sound.

    Now, choose the recording tab as Akuma written and click Properties > listen. On this tab, you can change the volume and disable the microphone set.
