Fan on Tecra 8000 control

Hello

I'm worried about the operation of the cooling fan, it starts to blow at the beginning of the system for a while and recharging the battery after that it starts to blow at 82 degrees celcius! I would be more comfortable if she starts to blow at 50 degrees, is there a way to handle this?

I installed the latest bios 9.30 trad en tried serveral operating systems, such as win 98se, win 2000 win xp en, none of them has made a difference for the operation of the coolingfan. I also tried the power given by Toshiba Utilities, they fact the crazy cpu working at 100% cpu power.

Thanks for the support, Rick

I found the sollution after a few days, searching the Internet, I found I program made by a person for the Toshiba running Linux machines, but he also made a fan for Windows control program. It takes the software TVALD from Toshiba to settle.

My machine is running at a maximum of 50 degrees right now and I am very confident, I can even put the laptop on my legs ;)

  • How to get to his work on W2k on Tecra 8000?

    Is it possible to get the sound to work on a Tecra 8000 using windows 2000 pro? I just upgraded from win 98 and the audio driver install the Yamaha opl3-sax, but there is no sound. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, but none seems not to work.

    Hello

    I also recommend to check the Device Manager. If there is no yellow exclamation next to the sound card, so I would say that the audio driver has succeeded not installed and there must be something wrong with the audio settings.
    Have you checked the sound and audio devices in the control panel? You should check all the audio controller if they are defined at the top level.
    In addition, I would recommend controls the controller of volume on the side of the laptop. People sometimes forget to define. ;)

  • Tecra 8000 - need DVD player software

    I have an aging Tecra 8000 running XP Pro. It came with the standard DVD player (SD - C2102) I can not read the DVD. After a brief look at the electronic manual, it seems there is a MPEG2 decoder in there somewhere for DVD playback and it came originally with a program of DVD player who took advantage of this.

    This DVD player is not on the system and just WMP plays the audio and RealPlayer not playing the ball at all.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    I don't know if DVD software has been bundled with this Tecra8000, but this is not very serious.
    In the internet, you will find many freeware DVD player.
    The new laptops Toshiba come with a preinstalled WinDVD program.
    But you can also use other programs such as PowerDVD.

  • Tecra 8000: battery not charging

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 works excellently on the radio but cannot get a battery charge! I have 2 new batteries, but when I go to power options it says battery not detected. However if you pass the sector off the power the computer will run on battery for a few minutes.

    Is that all I have to do to recharge the battery because it denies services to broadband radio if I can't charge the battery.

    Thank you in anticipation

    Roy Drysdale

    Hello Roy

    As much as I know there is no any kind of parameters for the battery. Everything works automatically and power of electronic power control controls this. Software gets some info from the hardware store.

    If the battery is not recognized by the system, I'm afraid, there is not much to do and the unit must be checked by the service of the laptop.

  • Video - Tecra 8000

    I have a Tecra 8000 with Windows XP Pro installed.
    Everything works perfectly, I've updated the BIOS to v9.3 - BUT I can't get the video of the matches to work.
    I tried the RCA Jack on the back and also connected the SVGA dongle to the outlet side and used the composite video output on that, but no signal seems out of one of them.

    I've tinkered with various different BIOS settings, use the Fn + F5 key all to nothing does not.
    I read in the forum here that others have the same problem, so I also add a call for help with this one. May I ask, has ANYONE managed to actually get a composite video signal on their Tecra?

    Hi Peter

    If your Tecra comes preinstalled with Toshiba Recovery CD all the drivers and tools should work properly. In this case there are, in my view, two reasons that could explain why it does not work. Is mobile the cause of this problem or there is a problem with the TV and TV setting.

    Using the FN + F5 key combination, you can switch to an external device. It will be interesting to know if it works properly with the external monitor. It is not the same port, but the tool is the same. You can also try to connect your laptop to another TV. Sometimes it is not easy to say what may be the problem. If there is no way to have some success, you need professional help. Maybe the service partner can perform a short control of video composite output port.

  • Toshiba Tecra 8000, monitor problem

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000, there is a green line with a width of 1 pixel on the screen of my laptop which does not disappear. the laptop is almost 2 years old. is there a possibility that it could be repaired? Thanks in advance,
    Mark Kuiper

    Hello

    interesting would be if the green line is permanently on the screen during startup or 'just' that Windows runs.

    But never mind, the laptop Tecra series three-year warranty.

    So in this case you can give it to a Toshiba repair for a control center upward.

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

    I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
    is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

    I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

    Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
    I'm sorry.

    Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

  • Tecra 8000 - failure to CD-ROM - new installation disc?

    The CD-ROM drive in my Tecra 8000 has a defect. It attempts to load a CD-ROM, LED is flashing, it stops, and then the drive LED is lit.
    So I guess the drive is down.

    What kind of new CD-ROM is suitable for this laptop? Toshiba only original ones?

    Hello

    Wow, the Tecra 8000 series is really old. Do you use yet this laptop?
    It feels like the notebook would come from the stone age ;)

    However, I think that the CD/DVD drive supports * interface IDE but not all readers would be compatible due to master/slave/cable select settings

    It seems that the reader of DVD-ROM + Toshiba - SD-C2002 + would be compatible.
    Not sure if you'll be able to get this disc because of the age of the unit, but probably the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country could provide some readers compatible optical disc

  • Tecra 8000 and broadband connection

    Hi all

    I recently asked to watch Tecra 8000 a friends (PII 233) and give it a bit of an update... Don't know why the most I've ever done, is to add a few small components in my PC at home!

    My question is - is this possible for a connection broadband to be put in place - I looked all over the laptop, but don't find nothing which would suggest it is possible.
    (Also what other improvements should be can) watching us.

    Sorry for the noobness, but any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ben

    Wow this is really an oldie
    Broadband do you mean the LAN port?

    As far as I know that the Tecra 8000 was not equipped with LAN port.
    It s really amazing but it is a fact

    However, if you want to use LAN then I advise you to buy a PCMCIA (Cardbus 32-bit) LAN card that would be allows to connect the Tecra 8000 to LAN.

    See you soon

    Try to change some settings in the BIOS.
    In the configuration box, you can set the configuration of device option to all devices.
    In addition, in the area PC card, you can try changing the compatible option CCIP or CardBus / 16-bit.

    Play with these settings and check if a this will allow the card.

    PS: Have you installed all the drivers that should be shipped with this card?

    Have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    Check it out.
    But usually after the update laptop BIOS should properly work and boots.
    Have you followed the instructions on the BIOS update on the page of Toshiba?
    Maybe you did something wrong and the motherboard is damaged.

  • HARD on my Tecra 8000 P11 drive failure

    Hello

    I hope someone can help,
    I have an old tecra 8000 P11 and the HARD drive failed, I tried re starting from the cd but says disc hard is not recognized or does not. any ideas?
    Can someone point me in the direction of a compatible HARD drive replacement or original.

    Thank you

    Chrisp

    Hello

    This is an older unit and it is not easy to give you accurate information but I found one that can be useful for you. Obviously, Tecra 8000 comes with different HARD drive capacities and the largest is 14FR. I don? t know which one you have now, but you should not use the HARD drive with too much capacity because it won't be recognized without doubt. I recommend you check eBay because there you can buy an and it won't cost much.

  • Upgrade RAM and disk on Tecra 8000

    I have a toshiba tecra 8000 p2 266 mhz, 64 MB, 6 GB HD.

    My question is I want to upgrade the ram and hard drive. can someone tell me what is the maximum I can put in my laptop. IM aiming for a 256 RAM and 40 GB HARD drive... I want to upgrade the processor, but I don't think it would be possible. If Yes please let me know what is the maximum.

    Thank you guys

    Hello

    I found information that your device can handle with max 256 MB and compatible module unit Pentium II are:
    PA2060U 32 MB
    PA2061U 64 MB
    PA2062U 128 MB

    For user who have the Pentium III unit I'll also post this compatible module are:
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
    PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

    HARD drive upgrade is always a little more problematic because of the maximum capacity that will be recognized correctly, but I assume you can use up to 20 GB of HARD disk without problem.
    Sorry, but I didn? t find accurate information about it.
