  Hello

  If you get a 'click' sound in your hard drive, I would suggest that you test and replace if necessary,

  If you do not have to replace it, there should be a recovery partition on this drive to make recovery disks and use to reinstall Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer to find out the exaxct of keys to press start to start the factory of this partition recovery.

  For a small price, you can also buy a set of recovery of them discs to reinstall Vista.

  See you soon.

• Windows not start successfully after updating BIOS on Satellite P100-240

  Hi all
  After you install a new version of BIOS my laptop wouldn't start windows xp properly.
  It just freezes in a screen black, I was able to go in safe mode, but then I reinstalled windows and now it's the same problem and I can't go in safe mode as I haven´t went through all the procedures of installation of windows.
  Please help me: I can reset the BIOS to my old?

  I use a satellite P100 - 240 (PSPA3E) and any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you

  Hello

  What version of BIOS you have loaded? Version 4.20?

  Normally it shouldn´t do problems, especially after upgrading your BIOS. May I ask if the version of Windows installed on your machine you´d is on the media recovery or from scratch (from scratch means install with a genuine Windows CD and install the downloaded drivers)?

  If everything fails then send you the machine and let check the laptop on certain shortcomings of the BIOS.

• Satellite P100-240 audio problems

  Hello

  Y at - it software control panel Audio for this model? My friend M100 is a control software provided with the computer that has a wide range of variables to adjust sound its out put.
  On the other hand, nothing for this model except for standard windows volume set Panel. It just seems really strange what HD audio and no advanced to it control system. I tried searching on the web (for the SRS control or other stuff) and found nothing for this model.

  Another problem is that sometimes my audio quality is really bad, you can hear the sound Crackle not even at high volume, internal or external speaker. I tried to restore the couple machine time. Nothing has worked so far.

  my model is Satellite P100 - 240 PSPA3E. Windows MCE

  Please notify

  Concerning

  Laurent

  I guess you have an its installed realtek card. If so, then go to www.realtek.com.tw, download the latest driver for Realtek HD audio and install the driver after removing the sounddrivers of Toshiba.

  After that, you should also have a control panel that is accessible trough the "Control Panel".
  Here, you can set all the settings on your sound card.

  Welcome and good weekend

• Need drivers for Satellite P100-240

  HI I have a Satellite P100-240.

  I'm looking for drivers for this machine running MCE.
  In support, I can only find drivers for p100-PSPA0E / p100-PSPA3E / p100-PSPA6E
  are these the same drivers for my p100-240.
  Also made even the drivers for Vista on this series from Toshiba?

  Thank you
  Ozzy

  Hi Jonathan

  The laptop Satellite P100-240 is the series of PSPA3E-xxxx, so you have to use XP for PSPA3E P100 drivers.

  I've updated the Vista on my old Satellite phone and the Vista operating system works correctly I do not have any special drivers for Vista. I installed the Vista Intel Wlan driver only because the former was not recognized.

  I think that you should have no problems with Vista running, but if you will need Vista drivers you must wait. At the moment I put t found any

• Need for a disk to boot flash BIOS for Satellite P100-240

  I need to Flash my Satellite P100-240 on a bootable CD.
  The BIOS only I can find on this site must be run from windows.
  I have seen BIOS 4.40 for P100 on another Toshiba sites, for example:

  http://askiris.Toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2115 524xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 56504155 & stateId = 0% 200% 56506013 20

  But do not know if it is appropriate for P100-240.
  They seem to be named completely differently. Not sure if that's a thing based country.

  The BIOS in the mentioned link will be allowed to run on my p100-240?

  Your laptop is NOT American series but the European series and you must use the BIOS from the European driver Toshiba page!
  The incorrect BIOS may damage the BIOS ROM of portable module! And this would lead to the point where you wouldn t be able to boot the machine!
  This is why you should ALWAYS use the BIOS designed for this series of laptop!

  In addition, you won't find updates of the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page!
  There are only updates to the BIOS windows-based and you can update ONLY run under windows.

  If the notebook WHAT BIOS s cannot be updated to the Windows operating system, then you must contact the Toshiba technician and must ask for help!

  That's all you can do

  Hello

  The CPU is not better than Core 2 Due because he s successor to core Duo.
  Intel Core Duo processor T2400 1.83 GHz Yonah works on this laptop.
  You can check the detailed specifications of this CPU Intel page.

  In addition the unit supports audio chip type high-definition Intel Conexant CX20551-22.
  I put t know what you mean by HD video.
  Do you mean the HD player? The portable player is a simple DVD Super Multi drive (+/-R Double Layer) and it does not play any DVD HD

• Satellite P100-240: speakers do not work

  I have a Satellite P100-240 with built-in speakers. Recently the speakers worked intermittently with no control over the volume (the volume was extremely low). Now the speakers do not work at all, either from a cd or a sound system.

  Can you help me?

  Hello

  You must know that in such cases is really not possible to give a precise explanation. If the audio device is installed correctly and in Device Manager is not listed as problematic there must be a problem with the settings.

  First try to check all the sound settings and make sure that the mute box is not selected. Also check dial volume control. If everything is set to max level and no MUTE is ENABLED, please check the features that you use headphones.

  Please post the results.

• Satellite P100-240: Media Center Edition - error 3

  I recently installed the Toshiba TV DVB, set up all channels and guides, then recorded a number of television programs.
  Unfortunately, when I have pulled up my Satellite P100-240 this morning to check the last recordings of nights, the Media Center told me that I had deleted all of my recordings.

  I tried to get the library going again without success.
  All I get is a window telling me that there may be essential audio and video files missing and he said that I should quote "error 3" when looking for support. ".
  I tried reinstalling the drivers, etc., but it just goes back to "error 3' anyone able to help?"

  It is a very strange question. To be honest I really don t know what happened with you Windows Media Center software.
  It s a program from Microsoft and my personal experience, sometimes inexplicable things

  What you could do is trying to roll back the BONE to this early time!
  Eventually a point system restore has been created and you can set the operating system on this point.

  I also recommend to check your recorded programs.
  Usually programs stored is located in the following folder:
  C:\Documents and Settings\ all TempSBE TV
  Maybe you could save these files.

• Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

  I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
  I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
  Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
  I'm missing something?

  Thanks in advance

  Neil

  It should work!

  The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

  3 things you can do:
  At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
  If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

  If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

  If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

• I need to find right laptop model-> similar to Satellite P100-240

  I have a Satellite P100-240.

  Q1 - my boss (a blind Lady) wants a model similar, but without the graphics power of the mine and a 15 "screen. Also, it must have a 102 keyboard keys.

  Is there such a model in the Satellite range?

  15.4 screen and keyboard 102?
  I m not 100% sure if this is possible.
  I know that several laptops but most laptops with screen 15.4 inches keyboard support the 86 emulation key/102.
  What about Satellite M40?

• How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

  Please can you advise the team?
  I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
  Please can I have advice from the team?
  Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
  Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
  I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.
  TIA

  Hello

  I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
  I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

  Good bye

• Can I put the Satellite P100-240 with internal fingerprint reader

  I have a Satellite P100-240.
  Although he did not come equipped with material to print finger scanning, it has clogged the hole in the box where he would go.
  So I wonder, can I get the hardware scanning separately and adapt it to the laptop?

  I don't see any option for the material to be sold separately on the Tosh site and I'm not even sure who makes the hardware for them so I can source it independently.

  Can we offer here advice or information on this operation?

  Hello

  You are right. Some P100 units support the fingerprint, and some units have been delivered without this feature.
  As I m not wrong not these fingerprints can be upgraded

  But to be 100% sure you should ask the local ASP (authorized service provider) for details.
  But in my opinion you can not put the laptop with fingerprint reader.

  Good bye
