• Portege M200 with Windows 7

  Hello

  I managed as probably many others to get Windows 7 on a Portege M200 the application screen with 7 key is amazing by the way. However my question is how much can I sell this for as I noticed there are not on eBay and still less one with windows 7 on it as it is rare that I personally wouldn't be able to rate b and I was wondering how much would you pay for such a rare piece?

  I agree with Akuma. Portege M200 is old model of laptop, so the best thing you can do is sell in original condition with original installation disk.

  To offer it with Win7 no sense for me because this old notebook is not supported for the new operating system to Win7 and it is not possible to use it as the original operating system with all Toshiba tools and utilities.

• Portege M200: the screen is blank when you switch to Tablet mode

  Hello.

  Have a problem with my Portege M200 and after hours of searching for a solution, I'm still at a complete loss as to how to fix it.

  Essentially, when you attempt to switch to Tablet mode - or if I press the button cover closed 'sensor' on the far right, which is essentially the same thing: the screen goes black.

  This means that I can not in tablet mode at all.

  What happens across multiple operating systems and will happen even before that an operating system has started. Of course, I checked that when in Windows, the option "When I close the lid" is set to do nothing and I even checked for any cable setting in bios but saw nothing relevant.

  As far as I know this has only started happening since I sent it for repair with toshiba a month or two back (motherboard has been replaced I think).

  No way to control it via software or am I'm going to have to send it for repair again?

  > Like as far as I know that this has only started happening since I sent for repair with Toshiba a couple months back (motherboard has been replaced I think). Anyway to control this via software or am I'm going to have to send it for repair again?

  You description, it looks more like a hardware problem as a problem of software because this happens before an operating system has started. That's why I would exclude a software problem.

  In your case I would recommend you to contact the ASP again and explain the whole situation with your laptop.

  Good luck

• Cannot start Portege M200 from SD card

  Hello

  I recently bought a used Portege M200 and I'm unable to install an operating system.

  The situation: I got the laptop with a trial version basis of win XP Home Edition I couldn't use. It would not boot from external dvd player usb I bought, so I installed a linux system hd with the laptop from a friend, then install via this machine (this method does not work with windows however).

  After reading many articles from those who have encountered the same problem, I decided to go and trying to boot from an sd card, which offers various possibilities to install windows.
  I tried a lot of things, but still could not boot from sd.
  I use an SD card of 2 GB Panasonic class 4.

  -Toshiba sd-utilities (AFAIK) only work on toshiba windows machines, so that they are of no use to me
  -People say that place an image of a boot on the SD disk, naming $tosfd000.vfd or $tosfd00.vfd (tried both) would make the case, but no.
  -When switching to FDD-> HARD drive boot order->... or using the third option in the toshiba start screen green led beside the card reader will Flash once, but then directly boot linux from the HARD drive.

  Specifications: Toshiba Portege M200, 2 GHz, bios is ACPI v.3.01 (which is a little confusing because the version the most recent that I found for the portege is 1.8)
  If someone messed up the bios in installig a version that is not compatible with my laptop?

  any help much appreciated!

  Hello

  really strange case, but one of the first suggestions would be to try another SD card because it is possible that the card is not recognized correctly.
  A good idea would be to try some transcend cards... but just try another card and give a feedback if it worked.
  It would be really interesting if it works...

• How to activate the screen touch tablet Portege M200?

  Do I need a special driver for the touch-table display on the Portege M200?

  I installed about 35 drivers from this site,
  the buttons of four table on the right of the screen site work - but not the screen itself.

  What could be the reason - do I have to enable it in windows?

  Thank you very much
  Chris

  * edit:

  I gues I need of the driver for "Table and pen settings", as in the next picture below on the left

  [http://www.tabletpcbuzz.com/forum/uploaded/WNewquay/200491210340_toshrotate.gif]

  Where can I download tha driver, I can't find it here!

  Why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
  The CD contains an image with OS, drivers, tools, utilities and the whole system was already configured.

  However, I assume that you have a Windows XP.
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find all the necessary drivers.

  I checked the drivers for the edition of Windows XP and found

  -Rotation utility
  -Tablet PC button driver
  -Tablet Pack

  I think that's what you're lolling fore

• Portege M200 - How can I change the BIOS battery?

  Hallo,

  I have a Portege M200 and I want to change the battery of the BIOS but I don't know where it is!

  Can someone help me?
  Thank you!

  Hello

  The BIOS battery is placed on the motherboard and to exchange it, you must remove a large number of parts and screws. It's a little tricky and that's why you should have experience in laptop disassembly.

  If you want a new battery of the BIOS, you must contact the nearest authorized service provider. Technicians can do for you.

  But why do you want a new battery? The battery will also be charged if you have the AC/DC adapter connected.

  Good bye

• Portege M200: I can't use my pen on my screen

  I can't post my error. He returns constantly with insults.

  MY ink does not work on my Portege M200.

  First tab-trick stopped with the error "encountered an error and needs to close" whenever I wanted to use it.

  I don't bother with it I could always use paper and a single note so it doesn't bother me but here? ve recently discovered that I can no longer use my n p (e) on my screen at all.

  It works on the side buttons that I fly over and option comes up and I can choose but it isn't not even move the cursor around my screen.

  (I had to edit my post and add little by little text to see what has been censored as "blasphemous". Sorry)

  As far as I know the Pack Microsoft Tablet Pack Microsoft Office XP for Tablet PC (Tablet Pack) allows you to write directly with your stylus in the documents of Office XP on your Tablet PC.
  This software, you can find on the page of the Toshiba Portege M200 for driver.
  I recommend reinstall this software if it causes application errors

• Can not boot from the CD to recover OS - Portege M200

  Hello

  I'm working on my Portege M200 friends that she bought used. Only, it came with an external USB CDROM drive and the laptop computer AC adapter. To make things better the HD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. I had a spare HD so I installed it and now the BIOS see the new HD, Yay!

  I also discovered that I could buy a replacement Toshiba system recovery CD, new Yay! But before I do that I wanted to make sure I could boot from the external CDROM drive. I plugged the CDROM drive and attempted to start on a spare windows xp CD. But it does not start on the CD. I made sure that the CD-rom drive has been first in the BIOS boot priority, but that doesn't seem to work.

  I read the other posts that mention the boot directly from the external CD-rom USB drive does not work and I have to boot to the CD-rom drive by plugging the CD-rom drive in a PCMCIA card. If I have to buy a PCMCIA card that has USB ports for connecting external USB CDROM drive in for I can boot from a CD?

  If there will be any brand/type of work? If this is not the case, what brand/type is known to work.
  Any advise will be greatly appreciated!

  BIOS of the portege recognise only a limited number of pcmcia-CD-disks

  in this thread you will find all the information you need:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=71179𑘋

  but your portege also boots most of the readers of usb_FDD; If you make a BACK-boot disk with the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM usb drive you can use it without restrictions bios

  as you can read that this method will work only in a DOS environment, that is why it is absolutely necessary to format your hard drive to fat32, otherwise it will not be recognized

• Need to replace battery for my Portege M200

  I now only get around 45 minutes out of the battery in my Portege M200 and need a replacement. The original is a PA3191U-3BRS but I can not find this list on the Toshiba web site. She has been replaced and if so, what model should I? Standard rather extended life is fine fo me.

  Thank you very much
  Neill

  I found the info that you can use the battery with PA3191U-3BAS part number. Put this number in Google and you will find many online shops where you can order. You will see that Portege M200 is listed as compatible portable model.

• Portege M200 - bad scratches on the screen

  Hello

  Question, is there a chance to replace the glass on the screen without replacing it? This is the right Tablet? It has been used for a while now, and the glass is a quote scratched in many places...

  Matrix is ok, it's just the glass...

  No one knows that I can do myself? or it should be done through service toshiba? any ideas where I can buy it?

  Thanks in advance.

  concerning

  Hello

  I guess something like thisyou need. Use the Portege M200 LCD mask as search terms in Google and you will find online shops where you can order the new part.

  What about replacement. After the maintenance manuals, you can exchange it only but these manuals is not a public document and I really don't think you can find it somewhere on the net. But you can try. Google all over the place. Maybe you will find something that can help you with the replacement.

• Portege M200: big screen via the port replicator

  I have a Portege M200 with APR III. I realized that the DVI Jack does not work with it, even if for some reason any, even though they are not supposed to all other ports don't. EACH of them!

  What I'm asking today is how the hell can I get the laptop out on the big screen through the APR? I tried everything, it has the chipset nVidia go 5200 FX (which is able to output DVI according to nVidia)

  I just got a Philips 20 "widescreen TFT and got tired of watching her in the stretched standard resolutions.

  One of my friends has also Tosh lappy, but it's a Tecra 9100, which will be released on the big screen without any questions whatever it is standard, it appears as an option in the Billboard settins. In addition, nVidia say that this chipset is capable of custom resolutions, but I can't find it in the updated anywhere driver.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Well the Tecra9100 is not a Portege M200. Are completely different books.
  The M200 protected does not support these interfaces.
  This is a technical limitation, that the port of mouse PS/2 keyboard PS/2 port, serial port, I Link (Firewire) port and DVI port
  will be not supported on the Advanced Port Replicator III, if a protected M200 is moored.

  The following ports are supported and can be used:
  Line-in Jack, taken Line-out, USB port, port external monitor, parallel port, taken Modem, LAN jack, DC IN 15V, housing for security lock, locking the computer.
  In the documentation for the Advanced Port Replicator III is a 'fact sheet for III Advanced Port Replicator"sheet where this limitation is descripted.

• Portege M200 upgraded from 1 GB to 3 GB of memory - pc does not start

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba M200 with 1 GB of memory. I had a problem with slow applications and freezing so I decided to add 2 GB more RAM.
  The dealer where I bought my laptop said it's max capacity is up to 4GB. I would just ask if it's true?

  Another is, what could be the reason why it will not start if it can be upgraded to up to 4GB? I need a BIOS update, or is it the RAM, I bought that has the compatibility issue.
  Another point while the 2 GB that I bought works perfectly when it is inserted, but when it is inserted as the 1 GB of RAM, this is the time where my laptop won't boot.

  The two are Kingston KVR667D2S5. Don't know if that would help.

  Thanks in advance!

  You posted in the category of satellites. Are you sure that your laptop is a laptop satellite model.
  Please, check the label on the underside and we post the exact model name and model number.

  BTW: If you have Portege M200 it can be upgraded up to 2 GB only.
