• Tecra 8100: Larger hard drive possible

  Hello

  I would like to know what size of the hard drive for a Tecra 8100 can be. The original GB 12.1 broke down and I can't find a disc hard it big/small or large. The current hard disk to the start of the sale to 80 GB, but I am not sure if it will work.

  I don't know what version of BIOS is loaded currently, but I plan to upgrade to the latest version anyway.

  Thank you for your answer!

  Hello

  because your computer has a set of chips Intel 82440BX/ZX, you will have some problems of large drives with 80Gig or similar facility. I've heard users here that 40 GB drivers work well, so if 60 GB works - I know Don t. 40Gig has been proven, so if I were you I would buy a 40Gig pladder and update my bios before installing the drive.

  Should work so perfectly. :)

• Question about CPU on Tecra 8100

  Hello.

  I think I bought the toshiba tecra 8100 on summer (when I had the money), but I have question. What is this laptop processor?
  I read it as 600 mhz, 700 mhz, 800 mhz and 850 mhz, but what really are? Or it's possible overclock via the bios etc?

  Hello

  I Don t understand the question is what a laptop processor. It s the thing that makes your 'computer' computer or think. No matter what.
  The speed is set in Mhz, so it depends on the model how Mhz, the processor of your machine has.

  The exact clock speed is written on the label on the bottom of your machine. You can also try CPU - Z to determine the exact speed of your processor.

  And NO, not possible to overclock the CPU of machines it s.

• Tecra 8100, upgrading the BIOS, whitch that hard drive is taken in charge (40 GB)?

  Hallo,

  I have an old Tecra 8100 one I want to update BIOS. Who knows who is supported (20 GB, 40 GB) hard drive and where can I find the specifications?

  Thanks for your information.

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the Tecra 8100 does support an IDE HDD controller.
  In this case, it should be possible to use the 2.5 IDE HDD.

  I can't say much about the formats supported, but the fact is that the size of HDD supported depends on the HARD disk controller. The old controllers IDE up to what the ATA - 5 (also called Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra DMA/66) supported LBA 28 bits, which allows you to use the 120 GB HARD drive max.

  Since ATA - 6 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100), you can use IDE hard drives of more than 128GB.

  So if you want to, you can check your IDE HDD controller using a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition). Then you might find out what IDE controller is and what drives are supported.

  See you soon

• Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  Hello
  I just got a Toshiba Tecra 8100. I do not have this small a HHD and I wanted to know what size I can get it up to. I know y thread already asked this same question, but the technology continues to go better then perhaps there are HHD I can get.

  I am also wanting to upgrade the RAM. I've seen places that sell 144pin PC100 512 MB and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this 2 of them or not.

  Any input would be great!
  Thank you
  Doug

  Hello!

  The Tecra 8100 was delivered with HARD s up to 20 GB drive. I'm pretty sure that this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits ([www.48bitlba.com]).
  I put t know what HARD drive you have at the moment, but a hard HARD 40 GB or 60 GB would work in this good old classic.

  In addition, the Tecra 8100 can be upgraded to 512 MB of RAM. So that you can t upgrade your laptop to more RAM.

• Tecra 8100: memory slot problems

  I have a model tecra 8100 not: PT810L 12 c 42.

  I had problem with slot B mem, so collapsed to use it. Then I upgraded my RAM and inserted a 128 Mb TOSHIBA THLY6416G1FG-80 RAM PC100-222-620 slot A and used for a month. Then he suddenly went dead one day and did not boot at all.

  I took it to the point of service, they found somehow it work by sticking a piece of paper btw Aries and the cover. I used another week with ram cover duck taped it. Same story, then dead in the middle of winXP, switched off and no boot again. It took to the same service point, they tried some other RAM chipsets that it refused to start.

  The interesting thing is; When they inserted a faulty RAM in slot A and non-use slot B we get the message "memory incompatible chipset" on the screen. With the RAM mentioned above in the slot B (problem as always) and the A we get nothing, just a blank screen, DVD slot starts green lit, but nothing.

  WHAT SHOULD I DO, PLS HELP

  What is the RAM causing problems? What must a chipset that is exactly compatible with the model no pls?
  Is it the two locations of memory A or B, their change could solve the problem?

  This is the machine he itself, must it be thrown away?

  ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

  Hello

  I n know where you tried to upgrade the memory but as Lisa suggested this was not a serious technician. I changed and upgraded memory on multiple PCs, and you must use 100% compatible modules! You shouldn't t install the modules with a brute force or use strange things as a communication between the housing and the memory module.
  Possible slots are damage due to use this procedure. But I hope you're a lucky man and everything will work correctly.

  If you n t know which modules are right and taken in charge so you should contact the service partner authorized Toshiba for the right and the upgrade modules.

  Good luck

• Tecra 8100: This HARD drive is supported for the upgrade?

  I want to improve the HD in a laptop Tecra 8100. However I can't find the HD player required to do this.

  Someone suggest where I can look?

  Hey Buddy, your notebook computer is an oldie.
  As far as I remember that the computer is about 6 years old.
  At that time, the supported laptop, 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, 15 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB HARD drive, and the disk 20 GB HARD is, in my view, a maximum size. More is not possible.

  I found kits of HARD drive you could use:
  PA3012U - 1 H 06 6 GB hard drive Kit II
  PA3027U - 1 H 12 12 GB hard drive Kit II
  PA3029U - 1:18 18 GB hard drive Kit II

• Tecra 8100: Video-playing DVDs only with jerking / glisten under W2K

  I can't play a normal DVD on my Tecra 8100 (P3 600 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Windows 2000 with SP4)
  without convulsions. Already have try to copy the image of the DVD on the HARD drive and play directly from the
  HDD - same result. Therefore, it is NOT a problem with the DVD drive, may be a problem
  with the S3 S3 Savage/MX VGA-Cardinal display driver integrated V installed 5.12.1.7002.
  Tested with PowerDVD 6 and VLC media player. Any special DVD playback software for the
  8100 available? Please help, try several hours to solve this problem, already
  talk with toshiba customer service!

  Hello

  Well, the Tecra 8100 is not a high-performance notebook and maybe it is not generally possible to watch DVDs jerking-free s.

  But I think you should check several parameters before we abandon ;)
  In order to check if DMA and not PIO mode is available and updated on the IDE controllers.

  Check if you have installed the latest version of DirectX.
  You said that you are using the latest version of the graphics driver. Well perhaps you will check this site:
  http://www.S3graphics.com/en/resources/drivers/legacy/software_archive.jsp#id_290298drv

  Also check if the installation of some codex will help you:

• Change of assignment of IRQS for Tecra 8100

  I think that there is a conflict of IRQ on my Tecra 8100. I have a PCMCIA wireless card to use IRQ11. This IRQ is also shared by the Yamaha audio device. And ALSO by the USB root hub :-(

  I can't work on how do I turn off the USB in the BIOS - I put it to "DISABLED", but the USB root hub is always detected in Windows. I will try to update the BIOS to see if I can solve this problem.

  I can't work also how turned off the sound board - is it possible?

  Initially, I had the PCMCIA card in the PCI 1 port (which had an IRQ 11 cardbus controller). I tried to change to other port PCI (with IRQ 7) but the card still used IRQ 11 - now, I have FIVE devices sharing IRQ 11. USB, PCMCIA, 2 PCI cardbus and audio controllers.

  Any ideas on how I can get rid of the USB or change the audio device IRQ?

  See you soon,.
  Dan.

  Hi Dan

  I guess I missed the reason why you want to change the IRQ... but anyway, all new Toshiba of devices normally share an IRQ - the IRQ 11, which is the standard IRQ for the PCI bus.
  Means that the devices directly connected to the PCI bus, normally all use IRQ 11. And that of the way it is supposed to be and works perfectly.
  I know, from ISA only PC, that it is forbidden and required to make the problems - but the PCI and at least the world Toshiba it's ok.

  Tom
  So, my suggestion, reset all the IRQ to the values that the OS or the driver gives it by default.
  If you have any real problems with this configuration the state here on this forum and I'll try to help you.

• Question about the Bios Tecra 8100 2.5

  Hello
  I installed the latest version of the Bios on my tecra 8100. My Question is, what is the maximum size of hard drive for these phones? Now I have 13 GB hard drive, but I want to have a bigger. And 512 MB of Ram is the maximum, right (2x256mb)? Can I adjust the size of the videoram?

  In my view, the tecra 8100 is a laptop very well.

  Greetings,
  Stephan

  Hi Stephan

  You are absolutely right. 512 MB of RAM is max for this pretty portable. If you want to buy more RAM I will suggest you that a PC100 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME). This RAM is tested and working properly with your device.

  Sorry, but video RAM is not possible to extend. And now something on the HARD drive. Unfortunately there is no documents where you can find information like this, but I know very well that here should not be a problem with 30 or 40 GB of HARD drive.

  I wish you lots of fun with this laptop old but nice.

• Question about connector Bluetooth internal on Tecra 8100?

  Hi all.
  I have a laptop of 52 - sp pt810e - 13 c. Updated to 512 MB by using 2 toshiba 256 MB pc100 modules purchased on ebay, upgrade to a PIII 850 also obtained in a ebay and upgraded to a larger 40 GB wdc wd400e hard drive, with a lot less noise than 12 GB the original.

  Play with my computer, I found an internal connector "bluetooth" next to the inside which belongs to the keyboard.

  Why is this? Are there any new Bluetooth module for Toshiba Tecra 8100?

  Hello

  I guess that this connector is placed on the motherboard, because it is possible to upgrade the Tecra 8100 with an internal Bluetooth module.
  I don t find Bluetooth modules compatible but all supported and compatible parts, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Boot Tecra 8100 - would it be CPU malfunction?

  A few months ago, I had a problem with my Tecra 8100 - does not start, everything seems OK but nothing on the screen (no post). I bought another motherboard and replace the old 1 MB, but the problem remains the same: everything seems normal, led lights turn just as it should, cooler works well but nothing on the screen.

  I tried to connect the external display, but there is nothing on it, too. I have two memory modules and I tried all combinations with them (they are OK).

  Is it possible that the problem is something with CPU - I don't know what else could be the problem?

  Please, can someone give me help!

  I assume you mean on this subject:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=22595

  Well, as mentioned in the first thread, it's not easy to say what could be wrong.
  Of course, it is possible that the CPU malfunctions and, therefore, you cannot use your laptop's!

  But these are only suggestions, and no one will be able to provide an exact error diagnostic.

• Using ISA cards in the Tecra 8100/8200 docking station

  Is it possible to use old pc ISA cards in the PCI slots in the Tecra 8100 docking station?
  The Deskstation V Plus for the 8000 series seems to allow dual use in some of its slots so I wonder if it's the same for the 8100/8200 series.

  You can also the Tecra 8100 can be anchored to the Deskstation V to allow access to the ISA slots?

  Hello

  where did you get this with the AIS in the PCI slots? I've never seen a combo slot in my life so I can't believe :)
  But what about the v: Deskstation

  Yes, it can be anchored, it s integrates without problems, then you will be able to use the ISA-machines built slot.

• Upgrading processor on Tecra 8100

  Does anyone know if it is possible to use a Pentium 4 in a Tecra 8100? Are there any that will fit the connector and the motherboard will be able to cope?

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to update the machine with a Pentium 4 CPU.
  The computer is equipped with an Intel? Mobile Pentium? III processor and it has three speeds of operation as follows:
  450 MHz
  500 MHz

  It seems that this is a limit.
