• Portege 3500 - problems pcmcia

  Hello
  I bought a reader of external cd for my portege 3500.
  This is the original toshiba drive (connectet via a pcmcia 32-bit card and bootable)
  I run WindowsXP Tablett Edition on the tablet.

  When I plug the device in the slot pcmcia, nothing happens. (Windows Device Manager indicates also nothing new)
  Should I have all the drivers to use pcmcia devices or do I have to change something in the bios?

  The reader is 100% working, I tested it with another laptop.

  Hope you can help me
  Leon

  Look in the BIOS for a setting that allows you to switch between <->CardBus PCMCIA mode.

  Ensure that the slots are running ok in Device Manager.

  You have another PCCard you can test in the laptop?

  It is possible that the pins inside the PCMCIA slot can be bent or broken. Look in the slot with a torch and make sure that all the stems are straight.

• Installation of WXP on Portege 3500

  It is a question of a person can suffer idiots like me!
  A friend gave me a Portege 3500 without a HARD drive.
  I have one but have no manual. Looked on the Toshiba site but does not tell me how to access BIOS which is obviously a problem.

  3500 has no floppy or the HARD disk drive if the 3500 will recognize the external USB drive with disk to install XP in it? (if I can change the boot sequence?
  Do I need to burn discs of startuop XP and buy a floppy drive?
  I would be grateful if someone who can take me through the steps to get this up and running. I have a PC to burn aging if necessary.

  Thank you very much,.

  Hello

  The fact is that not all external CD/DVD drives are supported for the start.
  You need an individual. As far as I know the compatible is a PX1055E-1NST.
  But this device only comes with a 32-bit cardbus card. This card will be recognized only in the Windows operating system.
  You need a 16-bit cardbus card. The Bios can recognize this card and you can boot from the external drive.

  Note: The pc card controller option must be set to automatic selection or CCIP compatible.

• Portege 3500 - common module installation does not work

  I have a Portege 3500, I downloaded the good common module for this model I decompress a common model, click setup.exe and nothing is happen

  I think Kouros with hourglass and nothing no configuration.

  Hello

  I checked the page European of Toshiba and found protégé 3500 common Modules for deposited XP edition version 5.04.00TE

  All must be downloaded first, then extract it and then run the setup.exe file.

  In many cases you won't see anything on the screen because the complete procedure of installation is running in the background.
  However, I recommend to download again, unzip properly, and then repeat the installation.

• Box Portege 3500 replacement

  Recently got a 3500 off of ebay, happy with it because it does the job I want, however, it seems a bit faded and has some damage (due to age, etc.), and I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere to get new boxes of replacement for the portege 3500 and approximate costs. I have looked around, but can't find anything anywhere.

  Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi Daniel

  Generally, all parts can be bought from the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country. Technicians should be able to order the original parts of the lacrosse head of Toshiba.

  Here you will find the ASP that is responsible for your country:

  So just make a call and ask for help.

• Portege 3500: Need a new HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a Portege 3500 and after a few weeks of use, the hard disk or fan (safe) started to make loud noises and now every time I turn on the laptop screens toshiba rises and it happens eventually to a screen I wrote what he said below.

  I read somewhere that this means that my hard drive is over and I have to buy a new hard drive.
  Is this true and if so anyone know where I can get a drive hard because the laptop is old?

  The only one I've seen that is in stock is of about £230 and it's about the same price, I bought the laptop.
  Or is there a solution ive tried going on in all modes but it just restarts and Ive also tried to reinstall the OS using the cd but I can't in the menu option to reinstall XP.

  "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

  If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known Configuration to return to the most recent settings that worked.

  If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power failure or because the Power or Reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
  Start Windows normally

  Use top and down arrow keys to move the selection of your choice.

  Seconds until Windows starts: 30 "

  Hello

  AFAIK Portege 3500 was equipped with the 40 GB IDE HDD.
  This is why you must use an IDE hard drives (not SATA).

  Now, it would be important to know what max HD size could be compatible;
  If the laptop supports 40 GB I think a 60 GB HARD drive might work too.

  I think that you should just google for some 40 GB, 60 GB hard drives, that supports the IDE!

  Best regards

• How to read a film on Portege 3500?

  My external DVD player is only recognized with this card: "DVD - Rom drive / CD Boot, install and recovery (PCMCIA CARD). It will not play DVD... at jump, etc.

  When I try and connect using the "DVD - Rom drive / DVD playback for high Performace (CardBus card)"-I get NOTHING. The drive is not recognized in my computer.

  Can anyone help? I'm not "tech-savvy" and have a daughter who wants nothing more than to play a film on this laptop older (Portege 3500).

  Thank you!!!

  Have you changed the PC Card controller mode in BIOS Toshiba?
  This option could be found on the second page of the BIOS.

  Usually it s set to autoselect.
  First you need to change the configuration parameters of device for all devices and then you will be able to change the mode of controller of compatible CCIP or Cardbus/16 bit PC card or selected automatically.

  I recommend all three verification options!

• DvD - external rom for Portege 3500

  I recently acquired a Portege 3500 as well as an external DVD-ROM from Toshiba (model No. PA3246U-1DVD). As I try to find the drivers for this I failed horribly (for the dvd - rom). It is connected via a CardBus card. Toshiba says that drivers should be part of Windows but my system is unable to find them. I was wondering if anyone here had drivers for the Portege 3500 for it. If I'm not mistaken, they should be for PCMCIA adapters. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  * Note: retailers say the ships of external Toshiba DVD-ROM with cd contain the manuals and drivers. If anyone has a copy or could direct me to a site with them it would be greatly appreciated as well.

  above all external DVD players are manufactured by freecom

• Portege 3500 - change HARD drive and deal with overheating CPU

  I recently bought a Portege 3500 without any support of discs etc. It doesn't have a CD or a floppy disk. It has 2 problems, I want to trouble.
  (a) HARD drive is obviously out because it is by clicking on me, and it presents a permanent red section during defragmentation.
  (b) the fans are at full power all the time, and the CPU is running slowly.

  (a) I had a new HARD drive that I reformatted on other laptops. I put a base Windows XP on this HARD drive and uploaded on my external that I attach to the Portege. I used "transfer... Assistant "to transfer files, folders, and settings to the new HARD drive but I don't know how to install the old Windows XP OS Tablet it." I have the product key of Microsoft for the operating system. Any suggestions would be helpful.

  (b) I believe that the transfer of heat from the CPU on the radiator is a failure, causing the processor to hot and therefore slows down. I already solved the same problem with a Dell by coating the top of the CPU with Artic Silver 5 paste. I cannot, however to get the CPU in the same Portege so I removed all the screws down. Does anyone know how to split the case without causing damage?

  Hello

  (a) Unfortunately, but I don t really know how you want to install the operating system without using the recovery CD or the windows CD.
  I searched a bit in this forum and found these messages on the installation of the OS on the Portege 3500:

  See also this FAQ:

  (b) on the Portégé, you should find the power saver utility. This utility allows you to change the different modes of cooling and processing speed.
  In my opinion, you should also check if the fans are clean. Especially the dust and debris inside of the laptop is responsible for cooling not properly of the CPU and other parts.

  But if you want to know how to remove the covers so I would recommend checking this site. Maybe you'll find something useful.

  The robot says that serial number is invalid.

  what I am doing wrong?

  Hello

  I can't believe that it s is not possible.
  I have only one explanation for this problem. You have just mixed numbers or used the wrong.
  You should really check the serial number again. It should appear on the label at the bottom of the unit.
