I think I killed Satellite Pro 2100

In fact, she's my girlfriend, which is even worse, I guess. In any case, the headphone jack on it broke so I had a look inside and that fixed it and everything was good, and then I put the circuit printed in (computer turned on at this point; stupid, I guess) the frozen screen and wouldn't do anything.

All I could think was to pull on the power cable and now, since nothing has changed - no power, no light, no noise, nothing. Dead.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

A computer repair place that I saw today said it's probably the motherboard and that it would cost more than the value of the machine to fix and I should just buy a new machine that would be faster anyway, but I don't know that sounds right. So... over you, whoever you are...

HI Rory,

In this situation, I would normally disconnect sources of energy (i.e. the power supply AND the battery) so that there is no residual current to the laptop. Once it is I re - insert the battery and try turning on the laptop (assuming that the battery is not completely drained of course). If it works I can re - attach the AC power and check that the laptop switches to AC power and begins to charge the battery.

If the laptop still no signs of life then I'm afraid that it would certainly be verified by a technicion registered to locate the real failure.

Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

    I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
    He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

    I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

    but the laptop is really really slow.
    It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

    the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

    but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

    I have trie all to my knowledge.
    I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

    I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

    He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

    My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

    can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

    > anyone can confirm this?
    Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
    Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

    First laptop computer is an oldie.
    The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

    I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

    However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 - upgrade - upgrade memory RAM

    Hello together!

    For your information:

    Upgrade memory today to 2 Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH, 256 MB DDR - RAM initially), both up to 1 GB, all fine and no problems.

    Wanted to just end rumors "only 512 MB all together" or even less.

    If you are looking for, don't forget to think of the specifications:

    DDR-266 (PC2100)
    DDR-SDRAM, SO-DIMM
    200 PINS
    2.5 CL

    concerning the frequency of the RAM, building shape etc.

    Greetings

    L0nestar

    P.S.: Don't think that a debate is necessary, thread could be closed...

    According to the specifications of the computer laptop Satellite Pro has two memory slots and can be upgraded up to 1 GB. It is very useful to have confirmation on the RAM upgrade for this model of laptop old but still good.

    Good day.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 - what HARD drive do I need?

    Hi all,

    I just got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100, but the hard disk has been removed for the protection of the data. Now, I don't know what type of HARD drive, I have to get PATA/SATA?
    Can a little help if you please?

    Hello

    You can buy this store on the computer HARD drive because it has an IDE interface. You can t use a HARD drive with the new SATA interface.

    So I agree with Akuma. Already, I think that everything is written here.

  • Help identify the Satellite Pro 2100 download driver

    I have a Satellite Pro (marked below as a PS210E-00C3G-EN and a P4 2000/256/30 G, 15XT, CDW, LW). I think it's a satellite Pro 2100, whatever.

    Problem I have is that when it comes to downloading the drivers, I can't find anything approaching this model of the selection process. I've searched the forums and there's not much on this machine otherwise than in this one, so I was hoping someone could help me identify this machine especially for driver downloads... Yes, guess who has reinstalled Windows XP without checking I had all the specific stuff Toshiba tucked away first?

    For now, I have a load of things works without drivers, and it is not at all optimal...

    Thanks in advance

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100; battery (probably) problem

    About a year ago and a half year I bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. Every thing worked perfect up what a month ago, and then my adapter not workt more. With a multimeter I discovered it was broken, so I bought a new (from you guys)

    But 2 weeks later a new was also broken. Then I used my father's map (it has the same specifications) which merged in 1 week.

    What is going on? Where is the problem. I think it's my battery.

    Hello

    It seems that your adapter is damaged by the oscillation of voltage.

    I can't image the laptop that has the same voltage as the AC damaged HQ with a swing of voltage!

    IF you wish, you can contact a Toshiba Service partner. They can check the power supply, I have the laptop and HQ.

  • A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hey,.

    I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

    I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

    Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

    (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

    Or

    (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

    I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

    But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

    So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

    It's my laptop;
    [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

    This laptop will do the job don't you think?
    Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

    I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

    Hello

    First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
    It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

    What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
    I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

    So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

    I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

  • What is a maximum size of HDD for Satellite Pro 2100?

    I want to improve my aging Satellite Pro 2100 (PS210E-00C3G-GR) with a new hard drive. The BIOS supports more than 120 GB drives?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hmm. 120 GB HARD DRIVE? I don t think so. But this is only my personal opinion.
    To my knowledge, the Pro 2100 was equipped with 30 GB HARD drive.

    I think that the 60GB is a realistic size and could be seen by the BIOS.

    In any case, I didn't find any official Toshiba information support max sizes of HARD drive and I imagine that you must test the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hello
    ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

    prior to thank you for your support

    Hello

    It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
    I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
    I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

  • Satellite Pro 2100; How to get additional software without recovery CD?

    How can I get the software WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?

    Post edited by: yirms

    This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the download page of Toshiba why?
    Because this isn't a Toshiba Software, but software manufacturers, 3rd party.
    This software comes with the recovery disc and can only be used with your laptop!

    I think it has something to do with licensing issues

  • Looking for old Satellite Pro 2100 does not not for spare parts

    Hello

    I tried to replace my keyboard with a new (no problem, I could order it) on a Satellite Pro 2100.

    Unfortunately the keyboard "cable" must be plugged into the motherboard using a little white girl 'thing' to keep the cable attached to the motherboard.

    Unfortunately, I lost this small 'thing' white.

    Thx a lot

    I think you mean the PJ11 connector.
    This PJ11 is placed on the motherboard and the flat keyboard cable must be connected to this connector.
    I m not 100% sure but I think the PJ11 is mounted on the Board and I wonder how someone can lose it.

  • Need to find the cmos on Satellite Pro 2100 battery

    I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

    The brand is a Satellite Pro SP2100, model PS210E006P9-EN number, but I can't find this brand/model on the Toshiba site. The closest I can find is Satellite 2400-103, part number: PS240 - T 014, 1, that seems identical.

    I tried to use the identify tool of Toshiba to detect what is the laptop, but that fails to provide results.

    I also need to find out what food is for this unit as the current is defective and exposed wires.

    The adapter of current with her is PA3201U-1ACA, the problem is that this card has another card on the end to fit the power plug to the back of the laptop. The connector at the end of PA3201U is too thin to fit.

    This laptop is very old and the name of this machine is: Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E

    > I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: is it possible to upgrade memory 1 GB?

    Hi sat 2100 and looking at 1 GB but laptop reconises only 512 meg and wont work at all with 2 x 512.
    Would be a bios update help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    According to this site about Satellite Pro 2100 memory, the laptop supports 512 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7444&ft=m&St=3

    It is the maximum value that can be used in the notebook.
    The BIOS will not help because it is a hardware limitation of motherboard!

  • Satellite Pro 2100: TEAC CD drive problem - cannot access CDs

    Hey

    I got my Satellite Pro 2100 for another few years.
    So far it has worked well.
    However, now the cd player is always displayed the yellow light just after trying to load a cd, followed a quiet thump. This means that I can not access the content of the cd (audio or data).

    The drive is still recognized by Device Manager, and I'm told it works well - I know better however, it most certainly isn't! the drive will still appear in my computer, and I can always try and discover the contents of the cd inserted, which is always empty!

    Ant help or advice would be most appreciated, because I really want to re-preparation of the system!

    Hi Simon

    The satellite Pro 2100 is an oldie ;) and I guess that you pointed out the CD/DVD drive all the time long.
    I would not be surprised if this player is dead. For me, it looks like the end of the device.

    Until it must be said that I'm afraid you need to replace the CD/DVD drive with a new m.

  • Need new driver NVIDIA for my Satellite Pro 2100

    Hello

    Anyone know if there is a newer version of the NVIDIA graphics driver that comes with the satellite pro 2100? I looked on the Toshiba downloads section and on the NVIDIA site, I have not had any look to find everything. They simply stopped updating this driver?

    Any help will be thank you very much and I do a search before posting, but haven't found anything.

    Thank you

    Hello Steve

    Satellite Pro 2100 is fairly old unit. It is about 6 years old. Graphics card is NVidia GeForce4 420Go with 16 MB of memory only. Now the question: do you really want that Toshiba should support unit of 6 years with the latest NVIDIA driver? Please don't be crazy on me, but I really don't understand what you expect.

    A more interesting question to me is: for what purpose you need new driver? You want to use with newer games, or maybe you some graphic problems watching movies DSVD?
