  Pls help.

  Hello

  > The switch turns on only if I plug the laptop
  What you plug in? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?
  If so does that mean you can only start Notepad with AC/DC adapter?

  > When starting, I get a message. Insert the media. So what I do is insert a DVD into the CD drive. The movie will then play. I then turns off the computer and then open it again to windows xp start.
  It's a bit confusing
  When you get the message insert media?
  And why you must restart the laptop to boot XP if you can play a movie before?

  Boyfriend sorry but it's really hard to understand. You should try to explain it in clear words and other phrases.

• Good question on Satellite A500 Pro

  I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A500 and I have major problems with audio... it keeps crackling as it is not quite on a radio station - it did this mainly in iTunes and on videos that I play.

  I took it back to the retailer, and they are not aware of any questions... I updated the audio driver and did a factory reinstall... - What is a defective machine and I need to take it back to get replaced or is there a problem inherent in this series?

  Thank you very much

• Good question on Satellite L750

  Hello

  I have a little problem with my computer, the Toshiba Satellite L750.

  Whenever I turn on the computer, the sound will work for 4 or 5 minutes on the internal speakers.

  After that his Cup. But this doc is weird is that the gauge moves, he did sound does not come out. For now, the sound works fine when I connect headphones or external speakers.

  I tried a lot of solutions. I even installed Linux on another partition. In any case, the speakers will be stop after awhile.

  + The message was edited: assignment has been translated.

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. If there is no problem with headphones or external speakers somewhere I think there must be a technical problem.

  Maybe his cuts off because the faulty cable connection.
  Tis must be studied, so I think that the best solution for you is to contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help.

• Satellite M100: question the CIR and IRDA

  Hi all
  I am the proud owner of a Satellite M100, I bought in Australia.

  My question is about the CIR port that is used by a remote that came with the laptop.

  I thought that it was possible to use this port for normal IRDA connections (in this case, a mobile phone Nokia 6610i) but I can find no documentation to prove this in both directions. the software Nokia PC Suite tells me I have no infrared port, and this is coroborated by none of the infrared devices in Device Manager.

  Here are all the tools/programs/drivers I can use to get my CIR port to work as more than one port for my remote?

  any input would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  No, there is no software and it s not possible to do this.
  The fact is that the IrDA port is not available on this device.
  The only way to use this feature is to buy a USB-IrDA adapter.

• Question about HDD temperature on Satellite M100-165

  My Hitachi 80 GB HDD on Satellite M100-165 is getting very hot. 50 - 55 c in general using Windows. And warmer that I see is 59.

  Is that normal values for M100?

  Hello

  How did you check this temperature? Did you use the 3rd party applications?
  To my knowledge, these applications don't provide a temperature exactly.

  Anyway, in my view the 55-60 ° C is not very hot for a HARD drive. You know that the temperature is dynamically the value and depends on how fast and time the HARD disk rotates.
  The HARD disk also turns when you use Notepad with General Windows applications and access the OS from the HARD drive.

  The temperature may also increase because the other parties such as the processor and graphics card produces heat. This temperature can increase the temperature of the HARD disk level.

  PS: The specifications are supported protection against overheating. If the temperature is too high the laptop will automatically stops.

• Question camera & Modem pointing Satellite M100

  I have the Satellite M100 with Vista operating systems. When I changed the operating system a few days ago, there was a lot of drivers that have not yet been installed...
  Then I downloaded & installed the drivers from this site...

  But even now, there are 2 drivers that might not be installed correctly: * POINTANT DEVICE * (I can't use the mouse, but my touch pad works) & * MODEM DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO BUS * (I can not connect to the internet via dial-up modem)

• WXP on Satellite M100 - internet connection

  Hello Hello

  I reformatted everything my friends Satellite M100 with XP (he was thrown out because he couldn't make it work) and I decided that I would fix it for another friend s daughter.
  Restructuring went well but I can not all internet to work on it at all. I don't know if I need new drivers or what the case really is. I've never been good working with the networks, but I really want to give it a try because I think it would be a good thing for her to learn to use a computer.

  I tried wired connection through the router and connect to our wireless network but have not had the success that it is. Anyone could offer me some tips as to what the next step?
  I clicked through all of the assistants to network and all that, but nothing seems to work!

  Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

• Discussion of 'Windows 7' on Satellite M100-222 - complete

  Good day everyone! This post on 'Windows 7' on 'Toshiba' 'Satellite' M100-222.

  Perhaps, this method (and as some drivers & utilities) will be to apply successfully for other models M100 "Satellites". Because some very similar models on the technical level. For example, 'Satellite' M100-221 & ect. I want to share & discuss. Because reliable information and a practical guide on this subject on the Internet is virtually absent... or little information is not completely. I am having some problems. With these questions, I want to share. Perhaps, we will find a correct solution together. Please, join... Then...

  First of all, the BIOS update! This is necessary for 'Windows 7' If your BIOS version 3.00 update - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60;

  Before install "Windows 7"... I updated my BIOS (v3.00) to v5.60 - Toshiba Satellite M100 BIOS update v5.60
  I did it by 'Windows' XP Pro x 32... Executable file simply run it and follow the steps.

  Note:
  There is two years that I posted the question in the present case (forums.computers.toshiba - Europe.com) on my CCF. Clock in the BIOS (I forgot the BIOS version. Original BIOS, I bought my laptop & no has not updated the BIOS then) was frozen. Sometimes the time indicators worked, sometimes not. Very little time. But indicators stood also hours. Time passing in the system. In the frozen BIOS - 13:13:13, for example. Can I update the BIOS - v3.00, I hope my CCF works again. Nothing... Two years, I worked with frozen CCF. Every day I corrected time in the BIOS manually. Seconds are frozen... Sometimes the time work... But really the time in the BIOS has been frozen. I know this isn't the RTC battery problem. Physycally battery is normal. I knew that it is a BIOS problem. Because tests revealed it - physycally battery is normal. BIOS no error message. As the problem of the RTC... Some gave advice on the forum, and I'm not a beginner... Nothing... The BIOS time is frozen...

  Thinking about upgrading the BIOS to... 'Toshiba' added value package v1.2.40 (Win7 x 32)... When installing I get the error message - 0x8146045B
  Tried to install different versions of "Toshiba" extra package. Same error... Guessed the BIOS update! Among the drivers & utilities in site 'Toshiba' BIOS for 'Windows 7 ' offer for Satellite M100 (PSMA1E) v3.00. But BIOS v5.60 shown for 'Windows' "Vista". Same platform, same core with 'Windows 7' (theoretically)... Basic logical approach! I downloaded & updated BIOS - v5.60! Great! BIOS has been updated... Perhaps, "Toshiba" value added package will install properly. I hope. I wait a few seconds after the system shuts down. I turn on my laptop & press F2 - looked at BIOS... Incredible... First of all, I've seen - seconds in my clock BIOS runs again! Each of us felt a sense of joy! But after two years... The BIOS time worked again! So, it's amazing! But don't be naïve. Certainly, there is a scientific explanation. I mean the BIOS update can help solve similar problems. But everything has to be studied in detail. After BIOS update, I installed "Toshiba" value package v1.2.40 (Win7 x 32)

  Then I found & download drivers & utilities. I checked with compatibility in "Windows 7". For two 'Windows 7' - x 32 & x 64 platforms... I'll find some utilities - Touch "Toshiba" & launch, its virtual, DVD - RAM software "Toshiba", silent acoustics, also central control Catalyst "ATI"... Here's a question open for me. But no problem, it's easy willingness...

  Then I install "Windows 7" x 64 ultimate (I managed to install "Windows 7" x 32 & drivers, before utilities).

  Always install the following drivers:

  Intel Chipset device software v9.2.0.1021 (Win7 x 32 & x64);)

  ATI Mobility Radeon X 1400 driver (Win7 x 32) or for (x 64 Win7) - requirement (download it on - http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx & extract to the folder using any archivators.) Then update the VGA Standard of this folder drivers);

  Toshiba Hardware setup utility v1.63.0.32C (Win7 x 32 & x 64).

  During system reboot do the install & updates!

  And please, I beg you, help for the next:

  Everything worked fine! But yesterday I had the installation of material of "Toshiba" and receive the runtime error message! I know that "Toshiba" HW should be compatibility with BIOS! Please tell, anyone know what version "Toshiba" HW compatibility with "Toshiba" 'Satellite' M100-222? Or 'Satellite' model M100?

  And... problems beetwen Toshiba value added utility support package & Toshiba Flash cards! Flash cards do not work... I uninstall both and reinstall again... Same situation... A few days ago worked well... But not now... I don't remember, maybe change the configurations in the settings of Flash cards... Do not remember... Help to solve these problems. It is very important!

  For example, I looked for laptop Satellite A500 - Toshiba value added package v1.2.26.64 (Win7 x 64) & complect Toshiba Flash cards support utility (Win x 64) v1.63.0.4C! Perhaps, Toshiba value added package v1.2.40 (Win7 x 64) incompatibility with Toshiba Flash cards support utility v1.63.0.4C (Win x 64)? Versions, I think that...

  Does anyone has any information about these utilities for platform "Windows 7":

  "Toshiba" Touch & launch;
  'Toshiba' virtual sound;
  DVD - RAM software;
  Acoustic silencer.

  and "ATI" Catalyst control center... For the full control "ATI" Mobility Radeon X 1400 graphics adapter "Windows 7". I can only update the graphics card drivers. But do not know which version is the compatibility with the graphics card "ATI" Mobility Radeon X 1400 "Windows 7".

  Thank you! I have very little time... Lots to do! I will try to fill the drivers on sharing files or torrent. But for this I need to collect all the drivers and utilities. I have to check. Week of rest, I set to work and share with you what I could.

  Thanks again!

  Hello Gabriel

  You wrote a very interesting announcement, but, as you can see, almost ten days later there is no one comment. From time to time I m here in this forum and I have noticed that people are not interested to read these stories.
  Problem is that you gave a lot of information and who should write the serious answer must create real concept how to proceed and has spent a lot of time for the full discussion.

  I put also t have time for an in-depth analysis, but what I can say is follow:
  If you want to install more recent OS on the old model of laptop as a first step, you should check if your model (your is PSMA1E) is supported for the operating system you want to install. I can see your model is not supported for 64-bit OS, just for 32 bit Win7.

  So what to do?
  You must have a list of all hardware components and try to install the drivers available for other models of laptops. Some 64 bit Vista drivers can be used on Win7. HwSetup designed for 64-bit Vista should work fine on your Win7 installation. I did several times in the past, and each time it worked fine.

  Toshiba touch & maybe I get m wrong but this old tools is known to me for WXP only. I've never seen in Vista or Win7.
  Virtual sound the same as for T & l. it was designed for Windows XP Home edition only.
  Two others can be also for WXP only.

  If you don t have such tools for Vista you'll them for Win7 too.

• Satellite M100-126 - Win 7 32 bit indicates 'only' 3 GB of memory usable

  Hello

  Here's the situation:

  I have a Toshiba satellite M100-126 (PSMA1E - 0PV021FR) running Windows 7 32 bit.
  He had originally 2gigs of Ram, but after that my brother's cell phone broke down (motherboard failure) I took his 2x2gig of ram and installed in my laptop.

  Initially, the BIOS detected only 3gig, so I flashed the bios than that recommended by the Toshiba Download Center, i.e. v 3.0, http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/eula/calleula.asp?ID=66238 direct link (if it works). There is also a version 5.6, only for Vista, but I did not use that one.

  For now: the bios detects 4gigs and Windows, but windows says 'only' memory usable 3gigs.
  Windows resource allocation, 1gig is 'reserved material', so this memory usable 3gig. If I replace one of the modules by a 1gig module 2 giga, I get only 2 MB of the reserved equipment, and 3 gigs installed memory are usable...

  Here are the questions now:
  I am aware of the limit of memory for 32-bit systems, and that I won't be able to use the full 4gigs of anyway, but my brother got 3.5 GB of memory can be used on 32-bit system... Is it

  Hello

  Win 32 bit can allocate only 3.2 GB (not 3.5 GB)
  It is the limitation of all 32-bit operating systems.
  I put t see any problems here the BIOS detects 4 GB of RAM. It s ok.
  Windows can use 3 GB only because the other party is used by the graphics card.

  The GPU can share a part of the main memory too and it also depends on the available main memory.

  Good bye

• Satellite M100-221: Solution Possible BSOD / sound + mouse problem

  Hi all!

  Recently my Satellite M100-221 started crashing and freezing, so I reinstalled Windows XP.
  However, some problems are still recurring.
  First, before posting that, I browsed all the forum and found a few questions from people who are experiencing a BSOD (blue screen).

  I solved this problem by removing HWSetup programe of PC (because, as he wrote on the blue screen, its driver was causing a problem).
  All who have this problem should consider all the software Toshiba, because maybe this is the reason.

  However, I have 2 questions.
  First of all, which is my mouse (and touchpad too) just occasionally freezes for a second.
  I tried different mouse - but it's the same thing. (It may not be the connected with the performance of the CPU, because before the re - install XP, I didn't have the problem).

  And secondly is connected with sound - noise from time to time (whether it be the music play or simply 'click' sound effect) freezes just - which makes the periodical "trtrtrttrtr" - like sound))) that the two problems are so boring - because you just can't help the note!

  I've got drivers provided by Toshiba - maybe the problem is with them?
  So should what drivers I expect?

  Please, someone, help!

  I solved the problems and it took almost two days to determine what the problem is.
  Well, I read a lot of discussion on the failures of sounds, mouse freeze and so on. But there is always only one advice: updating drivers, BIOS, etc, etc. After two days, I have updated all the drivers on my laptop, updated the BIOS and fact repeatedly - but all that was * _completely useless_ *.
  I've got Intel Centrino Duo processor - so I started to experiment with a single core enabled - play music and watch videos and watch to the works of the processor. According to the process manager, got processor loaded at 50-60% of its power every 2-4 dry. And it turns out to be Hotkey.exe! Toshiba utility! This means that software of Toshiba's just unnecessary powerful processors, because this software is completely unprofessional. I have nothing against Toshiba - laptops are one of the best, but they should at least try their own software before distributing it with their PC.
  So I guess some problems with your laptop, mates, can be solved by turning off unnecessary all software and utilities Toshiba - just them clear in the automatic boot menu.
  Good luck!

• Lose Satellite M100 PSMA0A time but no date.

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite M100 (PSMA0A-0J4002), who has problems with the hold time. He lost several hours in normal operation (mains or battery power or even with no battery and only AC). It stops when the computer goes into hibernation or is disabled.

  My Windows time zones are correct and I turned off automatic updates of internet time too.
  The strange thing is that the date never changes! It's not 1980 or similar when the battery is removed. That means it's not the CMOS battery?
  I disassembled the laptop looking for the CMOS battery, but it is soldered in. Is this correct?

  I don't know if it's relevant or related, but sometimes the screen turns black after emerging from hibernation and the laptop must be turned off and when he comes back he asked something like: clear memory and reboot or restart.
  I have to choose erase the memory and restart. Very rarely, I also have the blue screen of death with count upwards saying that memory dumping (I think).

  I deleted my firewall and AV programs but still lost time.

  Anyone is able to help please?
  Is it likely to be material, battery CMOS or software?

  Thanks in anticipation!
  Lewis

  > I disassembled the laptop looking for the CMOS battery, but it is soldered in. Is this correct?
  I m not very well how it s mounted on laptop M100, but in many cases the CMOS batteries are not easy to remove it s always a job for technicians of the ASP

  The issue of the date and time may be linked to the CMOS battery
  Usually, you can charge this battery easily.
  In order to load the CMOS battery, the laptop must be connected to the power adapter and the laptop must cover more than 20hours.
  After that the CMOS battery needs to be recharged.

  But if the question seems yet, then you should check if the update of the BIOS might help if not it s a motherboard problem that should be checked by a technician of laptop!

• Satellite M100-233: stops right after the "XP" logo

  Hello
  I have a Satellite M100-233 with XP Home Edition SP3 (in Portuguese)
  When it is connected to the mains and the battery is not fully charged, sometimes the yellow light does not shine.
  Check the voltmeter application when this happens, tells me that the battery is on, the energy source is the sector, but the battery runs down.
  As I continue to use the laptop, the amount of the battery is reported as progressively less, until he tends to zero, then the laptop just turned off, as if she was not connected to the mains.
  Even if I start with the battery charged to 100%, after a couple of hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) the same thing happens.

  From an authorized dealer, they told me that it was probably a short battery shorted out.

  Get not that: * if she take the battery out of the laptop and turn it on:
  -Most of the time it turns off right after the "XP" logo.
  -It seems that this happens more often when the battery was fully charged the last time that I used it (strange! "I imagine this?)
  -Also sometimes happens after that I use the laptop for a while

  The only unusual bios message I get is "no TPM or TPM has a problem." I guess it has to do with the cryptographic protection, so I imagine that this has nothing to do with this issue.
  About two years ago, there was a problem with the battery (it ceased to be recognized as present by the laptop) which has been repaired under warranty: they told me that they had replaced the motherboard then. However, at this time there that I could continue to work normally without the battery, which is not the case now.

  I would be grateful for any advice. The most annoying is that this problem follows an irregular pattern, and the diagnosis, the dealer gave me seems hard to believe. As I use my laptop to collect data for research abroad, it is quite a risk for me to use it if I can't be sure when it will turn off on its own.

  Hello

  To be honest, I doubt that anyone here in the forum would be able to provide an exactly the answer to this question
  I think that it of almost impossible to say what's wrong without running any hardware checks.

  But to me it looks like a card mother number possibly it s power of electronic power supply which is part of the motherboard.

  What to say, maybe you need a new motherboard, but the new mobo is an expensive item, and in my opinion, you should first check if it is s to replace the motherboard or buy a laptop second hand for the same money.
