IDE #1 ERROR at the start of Satellite Pro 2100 Series

Hello... I'm an IDE #1 ERROR displayed at startup of the computer. My CD/DVD player does not seem to be recognized (in the Device Manager the drive is not displayed) and certainly does not at all. I have installed a new CD/player player, this is the original factory supplied.

In addition, another clue is when I press one of the dvd control buttons on the front of the pop window - next up will appear:

"The setting of the drive in Toshiba controls is false. If the audio and video control buttons do not work. Please select the correct drive letter.for the internal CD/DVD drive.

However on the drop-down list there is no drive letter for choose!
Any help would be gratefully receieved. Thank you, Matt

HI Matt,

It seems that your IDE controller is damaged. To ensure the safety of reading, you should recover the laptop with the Toshiba recovery Image and if the failure is on a new system of fees, the IDE controller is bad!

It may be possible that only the IDE cable is loose, but to kow that it would be better to put the laptop to a Toshiba Service partner!

To bye daniel

  • 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.

  • Need administrator rights for the Intel on Satellite Pro 2100 speed step

    Hello
    I have a Satellite PRO 2100 (Pentium 4 1.9 GHz).
    I have a problem with the function of the Intel speed step, which reduces the speed of the processor at 1.2 GHz. But I have a problem: I can do this, if I use an administrator account...
    After starting, if I connect with a simple user account, the Intel speed step works... and the speed of the cpu remains at 1.9 GHz.
    So I would like to use this function with a simple user account, how do I do it please?

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hello

    As far as I know that this application is not shipped with the image of Toshiba and it s not made not part of the image.
    But I put t see any big problems. You will need to change your account administrator rights. In this case, you will need to ask someone the admin right to edit your account.

    The other possibility is to change the law for this software. There can be changes as by admin. What you can change in the Security tab in the program properties. Full control must be set to all.

    Then, it should be possible to use this application with your account.

  • 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.

    Hello

    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.

    Usually the CMOS battery can be charged. You must connect the power adapter and the laptop must be powered for about 12-14 hours.

  • SD-C2612 IDE #1 error after wrong firmware update - Satellite Pro A10

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

    I tried flashing with the right firmware (1315) but get the message to the Primary Master and Slave as "Not ATAPI Device" and "drive not connected".

    NB: at the start, even with the deleted DVD ROM, I always get the #1 error IDE.

    Update the bios to the latest version would help or is there all the options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?

    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

    Best regards
    Angus

    > I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, which was flashed with wrong firmware (I don't know which because I don't).

    Lol :D I have don t wonder you get the IDE #1 error message.
    As you say yourself, you have flashed the drive with the wrong firmware. This has damaged the master/slave/c-salt settings of readers and so the BIOS doesn't recognize the CD/DVD drive. But I wonder why someone flashing the drive with a bad firmware?  :| We still know that a wrong firmware can damage the CD/DVD drive... and above all it is not necessary to update the firmware.

    > Update the bios to the latest version would help
    The BISO update will not help you because you have already good BIOS and it s NOT a problem of BIOS, but the evil and not compatible firmware is stored.

    > or are there options open for me to solve this problem other than to have recourse to the connection of pin 47 & 45? Would it even solves?
    I'm don't know if this helps, but I know that it is not desirable because it may damage the material of CD/DVD players

    I recommend you contact the ASP in your country guys might revive the CD/DVD drive. Let's hope

  • Replacing the motherboard on Satellite Pro 2100

    Can someone tell me where I can get a replacement motherboard, as when I turn it on, the power light flashes yellow indicating an abnormal voltage in the electric power system?

    I thought it was the power supply, but the local pc repair center said it is the motherboard, and I would bin the laptop. I don't want it is bin of ideas where I can get a good price for replacement would be great.

    Someone at - it the same problem or ideas would be great.

    Thanks in advance

    Mike

    Hello Mike

    I don't know where you live, but using Google, maybe you'll be able to find some independent hardware store. From time to time also check eBay because there you can find a lot of hardware for the old models of Toshiba laptops.

  • Control the fan on Satellite Pro 2100

    I used to see the analysis of the cpu temp with speedfan, I'd see when the temp (labeled local or remote or temp1, I don't remember.) Maybe 'local').
    reached 50 or 50 >, fan went.

    But I can't find that now. The fan still works ' cos I can activate it with speedfan saying speedfan set to 50% or more, then it lights.
    (less than 50% it is not lit, or at low speed - I think a constant - it is inaudible).

    I would like to know why the fan is not when the temperature reaches 50 > more... When the setting is...
    is there a program I can use to do?

    He finds...
    you know toshiba replaces the thing of power management with its own thing in toshiba power saver. Toshiba power saver thing had a framework...

    "Cooling method.
    and
    "Intel Speedstep Technology.

    Each is adjustable to the Performance, or optimized battery or something.

    More course set the method of 'performance' of cooling... If you say 'battery optimized' then I think that the processor gets hot enough.

    Whereas, for the technology intel speedstep... I do not remember that I put there, but I guess that optimized battery would make the CPU cooler.

    However, I noticed when changing the settings of the more advanced page of toshiba power saver setting processor speed to the lowest, it was extremely slow but still an idle at high temperature, about 50 I think, not so much if any difference there.

    I think it was less 0 charge, or charge of 0 to 10. I watch the load with notebook hardware control, speedfan and maybe other programs... However, only was necessary.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 memory upgrade

    I want to update my sp2100 with additional 512 MB RAM, but the online manual and online technical specifications contradict each other.

    The online manual says (on page 1-3) for the celeron
    memory models max is 1 GB (CSD) and for the P4 512 MB (DDR) models
    Online status product specifications up to 1 GB (DDR)
    When I take a glance on the extensions page 'by 'model' on the site of toshiba 512 MB modules are available for my laptop.

    My laptop: SP2100 P4-1700/256 / 30 G, 15XT, CDW, LM
    I guess it's the same as 'Satellite Pro 2100 P4 - M 1.7GHz/256MB/30GB/15"/DVD_CDRW/L/XPP sort' since that looks like mine more

  • Satellite Pro L650 series - the error screen white balance

    Hi all
    I use a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes bad white balance. In detail, the screen clears so dazzling with the strange white color. If I open a Web site, the pictures on the website becomes blurry images.
    If I put the screen in blue, she can't make easy the dazzling color, but if I put the screen in white or green and yellow, then it becomes abnormal colors and fuzzy.

    I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.

    Is there anyone encounter this problem like me?
    Could you share to me what is the problem? and what is the solution for this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Have you noticed this screen problem laptop with mains running or simply using the battery?

    I read about the problem of similar laptop screen which was related to the Intel display power saving technology.

    In this case, you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - conservation power source/battery - power tab function - saving technology display and uncheck this option.

  • Can I upgrade the CPU T2310 Satellite Pro L40 - 15A series laptop PC?

    Hi, (I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I search 'Satellite pro l40 series' I couldn't find any relevant response)

    I've been looking around the net & found contradictory answers to this question so far, so I hope that this forum may be able to help.

    I have a 15 D portable computer Satellite pro L40 and I want to upgrade the processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.46 Ghz T2310 an Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4300 2.1 GHz 1 MB 800 CPU or something similar.

    I found the following issues http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Toshiba-Satellite-L40-14N-Notebook.7294.0.html

    "f consider you a CPU upgrade, there is not a lot of options." The Intel GL960 value express notebook chip supports only up to FSB 533 Mhz processors. So, does not allow most of the Core 2 Duo CPU update (with 667 MHz). "

    But then, I also read that the GL960 can run 800 MHz processors?

    I also asked the question on ebay to the seller of the CPU T2310 & received this response

    «SHOULD be OK, but your T2310 533 Mhz FSB and the T4300 has 800 Mhz.»

    Motherboards intel more modern should easily accept a 800 mhz cpu, but I cannot guarantee. May be an idea to see if you can find out if there are other models of Toshiba L40, also with 800 mhz chip, because it would be a good indicator.

    And if I can't pass a T2310 because of the 800 mhz too is their a 533 mhz cpu that will be compatible & more powerful for audio production that my current Ghz CPU T2310 1.46.

    I've only had this PC 4 years again, it seems not to be very mobile friendly if this resource could not be designed to handle upgrades.

    Thanks for the tips.
