• What Satellite P100 series includes P100-106?

  I have toshiba satellite p100-106. At the back of the machine, my model is PSPADE - G 018010, 3.

  When I want to check the version of the bios, some other software or drivers writes article p100-106: what is your PSPA0E, PSPA3E, PSPA6E model. But there is not PSPADE as mine is. I checked it 5 times and it is not 0 it is letter d on my laptop.

  What to choose?
  Thank you

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure, but I guess it works in this way:
  Your laptop is delivered and pre-installed with the Vista operating system. Your operating system is complete and new. I don't think that you will find no updates in this short time. BIOS is also the most recent. Other units (Satellite P100-PSPA0, Satellite P100-PSPA3 and Satellite P100-PSPA6) are WXP and they are all supported in Vista. Because of this priority is to support these units due to the installation of Vista.

  When the new update will be available for your device, you'll find it under http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/, but at present there is no update.

  What to choose? Nothing! Be happy with your new toy.

• Satellite P100 series with core2duo - no support for virtualization?

  Hello
  my brand new laptop P100-324 with core 2 duo T7400 has no virtualization support - however, it was clearly written in Tech spec.
  It was not cheap at all, so I don't think that the sheet will lie!

  It's serious reflection.
  I ask the representatives of toshiba to lose a word or two here in this topic and when new BIOS on, which will allow the Intel VT.

  If it will be - as I hope! I'm sure that cpu can handle VT (indicated in the documents of cpu Intel laptop, and cpu is VT flags etc.), but the VT is just disabled by default in the BIOS and there is nothing to do.

  Hello

  Could you please put the link to the page that says that this laptop model supports the VT technology?
  It would be very interesting

  Usually, virtualization can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS. If the BIOS don't provide that option then it s a clear case of the VT can be not activated

  As you probably know Toshiba offer a wide range of portable models and offers different models P100.
  Maybe some media VT units and some don t.

• Cover loose on Satellite P100 series

  The lid of my laptop now only stand in a completely vertical position. Point left seems to be very loose and I was wondering if maybe a few screws can be tightened upward if the small plastic hinge comes off somehow. I really don't want to have to send it off to be repaired if its something easily fixed. I was able to undo the hinge cover where it attaches to the main body of the laptop, but even with both sides, I can't completely remove to access the fixing points. Some tips on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Andrea

  I guess you don t want to send laptop to fix, but please don t do anything on your own. The machine is new with valid warranty. If you try to do something alone and make a mistake, the warranty will be voided.

  Please contact the Toshiba service authorized in your country. Talk with them and you will see how much time they need to check and correct this.

• Satellite P100-103: upgrade of the Core 2 Duo processor?

  I bought it is model and I thought to change the processor in a C2D. I just wanted to know if it is possible or not...
  BTW ive seen a P100 with double HD or something I want to know if it is possible with mine or I just read wrong '-_-

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Filipe

  Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not very easy on laptops and undesirable. In my knowledge Toshiba doesn't supports CPU upgrade and you will lose the warranty if you open Notepad.

  As far as I know the microprocessor used in the Satellite P100 series (Intel Platform) will be different by the model.
  It supports the following processors:

  Intel Core Duo T2300(1.66GHz); T2400(1.83GHz); T2500 (2 GHz); T2600(2.16Gz); T2700(2.33Gz) FSB: 667 MHz

  Intel Core Solo T1400(1.83GHz); T1300(1.66GHz); FSB: 667 MHz

  Intel Celeron-M (Yonah core based) 410; 420; 430; FSB: 533 MHz

  Hope I could bring this matter to light.

• Satellite P100-195 - loud beep sound card problem

  Hi guys.

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite P100-195, about two weeks ago and since I had a problem with my sound card I do not seem to be able to overcome. Whenever I have to increase/decrease the volume (or audio icon in the system tray or the control panel) I get a loud beep after I let go of the mouse button.

  The sound seems to work fine, but the tone is getting stronger every time I increase the volume and is really annoying. I also noticed that whenever I got an audio/video conversion Canopus Procoder 2 I get the same tone, even if the converted files are well and plays well. My Satellite P100-195 was a Portuguese Windows Professional MCE.

  The beep will be like a BIOS we and not a BONE.
  I already reinstalled the audio driver.
  Can someone help me with this?

  Jose Felix

  Hello

  Is - this loud beep appear on a fresh install that BONES form the Toshiba Recovery CD?

  The second possibility is that your operating system has put this loud beep as a program event.
  Go to sound and audio devices and select the Audio tab.

  Here, you can see all your sounds that are set on the different program events.

• Displays swap when using double view Satellite P100

  I have a Satellite P100 - 434 (PSPADE). I am using the laptop as main display and an LCD as a secondary monitor. I found that no matter how to configure it, using either the Vista view properties or via the Nvidea Control Panel, I get a problem where the monitors periodically switch.

  I'm not bothered what device is the main, but the system to compensate for his mind would be really useful.

  This seems to happen when I type, making me wonder if there is press key I am inadvertently trigger that causes to happen. Ideas anyone?

  Hello

  You should do the following:

  -update your bios to the latest available version
  -update your display drivers and all the other remaining drivers in your system to the latest version available
  -Maybe if the driver update Don t really help out you, recover your machine with the recovery media and check if the error reappears.

  IF all these steps didn t worked for you, then come back and we'll discuss it further. :)

• Pascal boot from a DVD on my Satellite P100

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100. I want to boot on a DVD. When the computer starts, the screen goes from black to the Welcome to windows screen, and there is no message that indicates which key to press to access the boot menu. I tried to press F2 or F12, but if I do the screen remains black and that windows won't even start. F1 or F10 or del have no effect. ESC for 5 seconds, either.

  A few weeks ago (I did not any changes in bios or anything like that, what I did is updated on windows), I had a white line that says press key (F12), but now this is not more. I don't even have the toshiba logo.

  I flashed the BIOS with the latest update, with no result.

  Edit: I have new intel: since the problem seems to come from the screen (some keys (F2, F12) 'work' in the sense it does something special, rather than just logging on to windows and this unusual thing they do is to make the screen stay black - as if the screen wasn't turned on yet, but the computer was waiting for a response from the user) I tried to connect my laptop to another screen. I have counfounded the vga cable ends and ends by connecting my laptop to a desktop instead of his screen. The result of this was rather strange: when my laptop is connected to a desktop computer, the laptop screen is lit normally, and I see the toshiba logo and the boot/bios menu shortcuts. Other that taking the power of the display, the connection had obviously no effect: I don't see the content of the desktop on my laptop, I just saw my laptop because I usually do, and it's because the vga port is usually intended to be connected to another screen and not to another computer.

  So what do you think about this experience, which is certainly interesting, and you now see what could be my problem and so how to fix?

  Thank you.

  PS: If you have more questions/details, please do not hesitate to ask.

  Hello John

  To be honest, I wish I had your laptop in front of me and see exactly what is happening.
  Is that this message be down occurs when the cell is on a regular basis down. If the laptop wakes mode sleep or hibernation, this message will not appear.

  So I m pretty confused with all this and can not understand what is happening exactly.
  When the operating system is loaded click please Windows Start button and choose the option closed and don't forget the laptop shut down correctly

  After doing this book for beginning and check how it looks like new. Please post comments.

• Satellite P100 - v4.70 update BIOS stuttering in games

  Hello

  I had a problem with the Bios v4.70. Since I flashed my BIOS I had regular stops in my games. Looks like the game crashes every 3 seconds for a short time. I got the BIOS v4.50 before without problem. I would use v4.70 because since the new version of my graphics cooling fan card responses to temperature again.

  With recent versions, that I had the problem the fan worked only when I pressed the temperature of the gfx over 104 ° C. seems there is an emergency program that starts the fan and keep running at a constant average level. When I turn on my pc, I have to repeat this procedure. It's pretty boring, so I was very happy to see that the new BIOS has solved my problem. Maybe someone knows a solution.
  I know there are already discussions with stuttering in the game, but the solutions won t fit for me.

  I use a pilot updated the gfx, because Toshiba release new ones.
  My system is a Toshiba Satellite P100-354
  Processor: 2 GHz dual core
  gfx: geforce go 7900gs 512 MB with forceware v185.20
  OS: Win Vista 32 bit Ultimate

  > I use a pilot updated the gfx because Toshiba release new ones.
  I think that's the reason. No Toshiba drivers don t have overheating protection and therefore the graphics card may be damaged. It s recommended to use the drivers from the site of Toshiba, because with these drivers, you are on the safe side.

  Check the Toshiba website for the latest drivers and I think that the problem will be solved:

• No GPU fan after upgrading the BIOS to 4.2 on Satellite P100-434

  Hi, I upgraded my BIOS today to version 4.2 and since the GPU fan only works during the splash screen, and once Vista has loaded, it never runs again, in addition, the CPU fan turns at a constant speed, and the screen has "shifted" to the right, so I quarter of the right hand of the screen on the left.
  As you can imagine, it's a little annoying, and to say that the GPU temp is 65deg. with 90deg all about processors. not too good for the material.

  Is could someone PLEASE tell me how I can downgrade the BIOS?

  I have fans and fences etc. are all and free from dust.

  I do turn all the appropriate toshiba of specific drivers, and I even tried to reinstall the NVidia one card.

• Play Call of Duty 4 on Satellite P100-434

  Hi all

  I recently bought my Toshiba Satellite P100-434 (Intel 1.66 Dual / 2 GB RAM / Go7600) and we just tried on the game system.
  I installed COD4 and tried to play, but it seems that the laptop has trouble running.

  I've updated my display drivers for 32-bit vista nvidia those downloaded from this site seems to have done very little, or even no difference.

  I only run the game with each setting to minimal with resolution of 640 x 480 and it is still fighting.
  Everything on the laptop must be sufficient to operate this game except for the cpu that is recommended a dual 1.8 and it's a double of 1.66. just that would be why the game does not work as well?

  I would not have thought so.
  I have had friends who have run this game on pc spec worse.

  Any suggestions what might be my problem or what else I could do to improve performance?

  Thank you very much...

  Hello

  If have a Satellite phone with an AMD processor performance and the most recent card ATI Radeon graphics.
  I m running Windows XP due to the better performance of game. Vista needs of more material resources, and that's why I prefer the XP.

  Anyway, last week I ve installed the COD4 and believe me this game needs more resources than you think.
  However, you should be able to run the COD4 using resolution 1024 x 768. But it s another question if COD4 will run smoothly.

  However, I found a Toshiba FAQ doc about a few videos "stutter" during the game using Windows Vista:
  Check this box:

  [New video driver and BIOS eliminates video "stutter" during the game (Windows Vista): http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 46208288 & stateId = 0% 200% 20 46206416]

  With regard to this doc the driver display & BIOS update should improve performance.

  Good bye

  My problem is, when I play games (WoW, counter-strike), it is trolling. This is a new computer with Vista and it should be better than my old normal computer, but is not.

  My computer is "Satellite P100-454.

  In general, all the games, and when I play music and others, is not good quality, which should be!

  I need to download some sort of driver or so?

  Hi mate,

  Maybe you should this solution that I copied from the knowledge base of Toshiba:

  The video image which some games appear on the computer screen may seem "stutter" when games are played, Windows Vista.
  Resolution:

• Satellite P100: BSOD nv4_disp infinite loop playing a game

  Hello

  I hope you can see my details of my profiling system, but in case you can't, here are the basic details:

  Satellite P100-113; 2x2.0GHz; 2 GB of memory; XP Pro SP3. Go 7600 256 MB - factory core/mem speed 350 / 400 MHz - no overclocking.
  Out of warranty: purchased as a plant-reclamation in 2006. No problem at all until this - great machine!

  I tried for 2 weeks to resolve the formidable 'in nv4_disp infinite loop' blue screen of the problem of death, which occurs when playing company of Heroes Opposing Fronts (COHOF). Original COH has always run without any problem.

  I think I tracked down what is happening. Using RivaTuner, I took a log of data GPU, both in the general use of Windows and by practicing a COHOF game. I had just downloaded a "fix" claimed this infinite loop problem; referenced in the nvidia forum.
  I think it was the only reason that the game did not plant this time, so that I could look at the newspaper. But this has not yet resolved the problem.

  What is clear, according to the journal of Riva, it's the GPU speeds are usually 0/0 on Windows. Then, every few minutes, he crawls up to something like 198/135, for only 10-20 seconds and then again. This, in my opinion, has always happened, because it is accompanied by a rapid acceleration of the fan and a "sigh" to air for a few seconds. The machine has always done since I bought it, and it is not a problem in normal conditions (i.e. not game) use.

  But here'w what happened in the game. After playing about 30 minutes (I noted earlier), the game suddenly stuttered horribly, so I thought it might be breaking. FPS increased from typical of 30-40 something like 0.5 to 2 FPS. And this continued for another 15 minutes (I went to play, with gritted teeth, in order to obtain good log data).

  Looking at the newspaper of Riva, what happened at that time was one of these speed GPU rampdowns: down 351/398 expected 198/198 - just for about 15 seconds, then go back to the top to 351/398. Given that the "infinite loop" error includes a description "device driver entered an infinite loop waiting for the material to answer", I am fairly certain that it is the cause of the infinite loop BSOD: If the GPU suddenly decides to run at reduced speed in half, under heavy load (COHOF has often been described as the ultimate stress-test system) , you expect this kind of error occurs. I suspect that this is the point to which I would have had a crash "infinite loop" - but perhaps the 'fix', I downloaded caught the ball and prevented the usual total crash.

  Temperature: absolutely perfect. I use a Zalman cooler under the machine. Riva reports temperatures GPU 51 c (idle), maxing out at a constant C 66-68 without crampons (load, COHOF). So, my driver unless (I tried 84.4 - later, Toshiba or 91.33, 156.13, 164 something laptopvideo2go.com) is a misinterpretation of the temperature data and imagine that the card needs to be rested (because the driver thinks, it's hitting the ceiling of 115 HP.), is not an overheating problem.

  The fact that go up and down this rise has always happen, even with the original drivers installed at the factory from Toshiba (the regular intermittent fan 'sighs') makes me think that this is part of Toshiba design for integration of the Go 7600 in this machine. Perhaps something of the power management, or to extend the life of the chip. (I have all the settings of power-mgmt software I can find the value "grass of the battery, give me performance", since I usually use the machine plugged).

  Now, it of very well under Windows, does not cause problems. But he won't. The GPU is ramping down, without apparent reason, while COHOF is throwing a huge workload on it.

  Issues related to the:
  1. How can I disable this behavior ramp - at least temporarily to play COHOF? I've never heard of a GPU accelerates its speed goes up and down depending on the load, so I doubt it's problem of nVidia.
  2. can I get an updated driver for this machine? The most recent is 84.4.0. Of course, it is possible to download drivers from laptopvideo2go.com modded-, but I suspect that these pilots to leave out some specific Toshiba 'magical' that manages the specific details of this card in this machine. (p. ex. or SpeedFan and Riva can detect any fans in my system, which suggests that Toshiba took control of the fan "under the hood" somehow).
  3. where can I get an update BIOS/firmware for the Go 7600? You can find anything on the net, apart from that!

  Looks like I need to take this with a hardcore of Toshiba tech (I don't know if Toshiba supports log on this forum); But if someone reads this and has a time "click - I know that this", please post some ideas as to what I can do.

  Hey Buddy

  It seems that this Toshiba forum is only a user forum, and it seems there are only Toshiba users here and not technicians.

  In any case if I understand you problem described in your long ad, the graphic issue appears only this specific game (company of Heroes Opposing Fronts).

  In my opinion, the graphics driver is not fully compatible with this game or your game does not support the nVidia Driver
  So it s not a problem with the laptops hardware, but compatibility issues between the two parties game<->graphics driver software

  I think a graphics driver update (if available) might help.

  Here are my responses regarding the points:

  (1) as I said above, I think that the graphics driver update might help to
  (2) according to my experience, all the latest drivers graphics (and other drivers) are published on the Toshiba driver website
  (3) you can find only a Toshiba BIOS on the Toshiba driver page. BIOS or firmware update graphic card is unknown to me and to be honest I don t think it would exist.

  See you soon

• Satellite P100-429: sharp sound appears when 3rd device is connected

  I have a satellite P100-429 with a Conexant internal sound card.
  My problem is when I attach to any other electric audio device to record or play to, a high-pitched noise can be heard on the two pieces of equipment.

  When the power of the laptop is removed and it works on battery power, only the noise disappears as soon as the power is reconnected the noise returns

  I checked the section driver Toshiba and there is an available (V3.11.0.51) driver update that resolves this problem.
  Note: Before installing the audio driver updated to at least the BIOS version 2.10 or higher must be installed on the laptop.

  How to install the Sound Driver (V3.0.51):
  1. download the driver from the website.
  2 unzip the file.
  3. double-click on the "setup.exe."
  Shortly after, the following window appears:
  4. click on 'OK '.
  5. click on 'OK '.
  The audio driver is installed

  Be careful with the update of the BIOS. Choose the good BIOS and the right update procedure
