• Tecra 9100 - help to choose RAM

  It comes to earlier put that on for some reason any got locked and marked "assumed answered", when in fact it wasn't.

  Eldorado reported me to the answer of Markus77. Thank you, but Markus77 or Eldorado say they tried the modules that listed there and actually pushed them to work in a Tecra 9100. The link in the response of Markus77 only points to one of the many similar provider sites I've seen, who say that the 2x512MB modules are supported. The point is, Lewislite had tried about 5 different brands/replacements and none of them were all-purpose, that they either slow his system or it could not start at all.

  I asked, because I want to upgrade my current 512 MB too, if someone had actually he managed successfully on a Tecra 9100, or if it is one of those rare instances of a model with a motherboard that is insufficient to hold over the limit prescribed by the manufacturer, which for the 9100 by Toshiba 512 MB of cache. Maybe because most of the laptops will accept 2x512MB, suppliers assume just the 9100 will do too and so offer them to anyone willing to buy them. But has anyone actually done and got to work?

  The fact that Toshiba are 512 MB modules is not in itself a response, because they could be directed to other models. The fact remains that Toshiba say the maximum the 9100 is 512 MB, and Lewislite tried 5 different modules to try to go beyond that and found that none of them would be.

  Then, everybody in fact successful to do a better job Tecra 9100 with more than 512 MB or have memory suppliers are mistaken for this model?

  Had a look at the detailed Tecra 9100 here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Download

  It shows that Kingston 512 MB KTT3614/512 RAM is compatible. I am assuming that you can run Modules 2 x 512 MB.

  Make sure you use PC2100 DDR memory. PC2700 should work, but there may be a compatibility issue.

• The editable Tecra 9100 sound card?

  Can someone tell me if the sound card on the Tecra 9100 is editable? And if so, where to find a new. And how to open the laptop in order to proceed to the place of the sound card.
  Thank you, Peter (of Germany)

  Hello

  I think the Tecra 9100 uses a stand-alone sound table
  Yamaha YMF753 - 16-stereo sound blaster pro compatible system (WAVE und MIDI) bits
  It could be removed and replaced without replacing the entire motherboard, but that part can be ordered from the Toshiba service partner.
  But it looks like you don't have many experiences from these exchanges of witch.

  So I recommend you to contact a technician for these replacements.

• Tecra 9100 comes on intermittently and turns off after 10-15 seconds

  Referring to a Toshiba Tecra 9100, model No.: PT910E-602SF-FR

  The power button normally doesn't light up at all, even if sometimes it starts normally, starts to load windows, then always turns off after 5 to 15 seconds in any case.

  It always requires the batteries very well, but it won t turn on. I ve checked the ram, hard drive and I re - set the default bios - nothing prevents to cut if you can get it to turn on.

  Any ideas what could be the problem? Any help appreciated, it s the second time I had - the same problem the last time!

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Have you already tried to clean the fan? Maybe a lot of dust blocking the fan for laptop can start t, and then turns off itself due to a higher temperature. It would be interesting to try to clean it.

  But in my opinion, you've done everything you can do, and it looks like a malfunction of the motherboard. If cleaning using fan doesn t I think the motherboard is faulty or something else. If you are familiar with the disassembly of the laptop, you can try to fix it yourself with second hand parts. Otherwise it s time for a new laptop I think

• Tecra 9100 - no audio device after XP Pro install

  The audio device does not appear after installation of xp pro sp2 on Tecra 9100.
  I tried allsorts to research on forums and websites.

  I found install them drivers on this site but used to my laptop.
  I need to locate the audio device before get drivers?
  I know this is a very old problem but I tried for 12 months with no result.

  Any help appreciated.

  WOW!
  You are still using the good old classic? Surely she s or it was a nice laptop but maybe it's time for something faster? ;)

  Back to your question;
  On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find drivers Tecra 9100.
  You should look in the Archive (in product type click Archive instead of the laptop)

  There are two audio drivers for Win XP.
  She s Yamaha audio driver version
  -5.12.01.3141
  -6.13.10.2152

  I guess the 6.13.10.2152 is a more recent who is available and I think that you should use it!

• Tecra 9100 - error IDE with new drive

  I want to use a burner DVD UJ - 820B on my Tecra 9100, BIOS-Version 1.6.
  If I change the UJ-820, I have IDE #1 error in the Bootscreen, and the device is not recognized.

  No tool or the update for this problem?

  A #1 IDE error normally if a wrong settings or connection together.
  So I think that the disc is not compatible with the laptop.

  Look in your user manual and choose a drive that is listed in the manual. Not every drive is compatible with any laptop.

• Tecra 9100: Try to install updadet driver for card his Yamaha AC - XG

  Hi all

  I got a Tecra 9100 and like many others I had problems after installing SP2.

  I tried to install the sound card with the driver downloaded from the toshiba support page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000001b59

  but I get a windows pop saying that the file yacxg.sys is missing.
  Once the installation is complete and the sound card is not installed.

  Is there anyone who can help me?

  Thank you
  Joazinho

  The fact is that the driver listed in the FAQ from Toshiba is for SP1 and NOT for SP2

  I think you should google a bit and should look for if you find an audio driver that is compatible with the Service Pack 2 update

  Yamaha already provides the fixed driver.

  yacxg.sys 6.13.10.2152 with software synthesizer

• Tecra 9100 - required accupoint driver for XP

  Hello

  I need a MS XP driver for the accupoint of my new (used) Tecra 9100. Or at least I think, because the accupoint does not work and there is no configuration on the menus of the mouse tab.

  On the driver download page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU I don't know which is the "driver type", I have to choose.
  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  There is no available accupoint driver for Tecra 9100 and Windows XP.

  I searched on the Web from Toshiba site too and I looked in the installation instructions, but there is no driver available.

  Sorry, but it's done.

• Tecra 9100 - BONES recovered but still no sound

  Hello world

  I still have problems with the sound on my m T9100 and it seems that other people have the same.

  I bought the laptop with dead mobo then had another to replace and not laid out fresh installation of XP Pro Sp3 and its place and running problem, but no sound.
  After reading the other discussions on the topic, I used my Toshiba Recovery discs and all is well but still no sound.

  I tried to update the drivers for the card his Yamaha but still not good. So I got another sound card and knowing that he s a good.
  I mounted it but guess what no sound, at the moment its running Xp pro but I n t updated all the service packs.

  If I used the recovery disks surely it should work because the way you would a obtained again! I m lost now and don t know what to do.

  If I uninstall Yamaha altogether and restart I get found new hardware audio controller. Can I get found new Yamaha sound device, and then get Yamaha didn't install and could not function.

  Ideas please fly

  Hello

  The problem is that your Yamaha sound card driver does not support the SP1 or SP2.

  You said that you have installed XP Pro and Sp3.
  SP3 can be installed ONLY if SP2 has been installed too so the reason why you n her t get is clear; compatibility issue between the Member States of service packs and pilot of his Yamaha.

  Please see the page of the European driver Toshiba. In the Archive-> Tecra-Tecra-Tecra 9100 > 9xxxx-> driver sound >, you will find two different its XP drivers.

  Try to update!

• Tecra 9100 does not start in windows-black display

  Hi, just found this forum.
  I have problems with my old laptop Tecra 9100 that ive had since.
  I stopped last night, started this morning and now is no longer boots.
  It gets past the Toshiba screen and windows xp scroll bar screen seems in good condition.

  But then the screen turns black and does not go to the XP login screen.
  But windows does not work because if I press on enter newspapers in my profile (I hear the theme music for connection etc, and the HARD drive light is on, connect to windows...) It's just that I have no display at all?

  I also tried an external monitor, always the same, Windows XP, scroll screen still appears, but nothing else appears on the display.

  Any ideas? Hardware failure? (But the toshiba screen and 1 XP appears)? , Because the OS (even thought I can connect, although "blind")?

  Thank you

  It's strange... I put t think that there is a hardware problem because you can see the Toshiba start screen and like you say the Windows starts.

  My first thought was that your display is set to external monitor
  Looks like you have tested and nothing appears on the second screen?  :|
  Which is really strange.

  In any case after the laptop started try to use the key combination FN + F5 to switch to another screen, maybe it helps.

  You can also try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key at the beginning.
  Then choose Safe mode.

• Tecra 9100: Get general i/o failure at startup

  Hello.
  No one knows where, in England, I can buy a card of e/s for a Tecra 9100. Get general i/o failure at startup. Reconstruction has not changed this message.
  See you soon

  It might not b advice to u this problem. Something similar happened to me some time ago when I lent my laptop to my neighbor's daughter. No matter what I did it just would not start. I even updated the BIOS etc nothing works. In the end, I discovered that it was because someone had to drink n eat everywhere on the keyboard. I took part, the keys to clean the base (u should try this step first), it still does not work, ultimately a kind person has donated an old keyboard of its storeroom Office (not hard to replace just delete the band). After replacing...

  It started beautifully...

  Let us know if this info is helpful.

• How to use the CD of diagnosis of the engineer for Tecra 9100

  Anyone who has used the engineer Tecra CD diagnostic for the 9100 (or any other model if they are similar)? I was able to acquire the CD and have been able to recover part of the diagnostics to run tests starting at BACK 6.22 and the tests directly to the release of the CD. There is probably a "correct" way to use this CD but I have no documentation.

  Specifically, I'm trying to diagnose his painful card problem - it is not recognized by Windows and I can't install the Yamaha riders. I basically JUST replaced on this laptop and still no sound.

  All in ALL, I mean: two mothers (upper/lower case); map its (three different cards!); CPU - what else is one that can be connected to the sound?

  Anyway, if anyone can give some guidance on the diagnostic use of the engineer Tecra 9100 CD it would be greatly appreciated.

  no_bones

  Where did you get this CD of engineers?
  I m scared but in my opinion these CDs are not intended for common use of the user and, therefore, you will not find many people who has experience with those CD.

  But it would be very interesting to know how to get this CD

• Tecra 9100 does not supply power to the top

  Hello

  I got Tecra 9100 laptop computer and you have a POWER PROBLEM.
  Basically, it got stuck at the start of the OS and I was unable to click or move the mouse to do something. So I held the power button to turn it off. I do not turn on again entered game coz I had to go somewhere.

  So when I tried to move THE next day and he won't power upward. I can see a GREEN LIGHT but can not hear any CPU, the FAN, the monitor or the hard sound. When I connect to the AC adapter, I can see the LOAD LED but nothing else seems to be powered.

  I also tried to replace the memory Module, but still won't power upward. I guess that the motherboard does not have to be ABLE so nothing is turned. But the one thing that I do not understand why the POWER LED on (GREEN LED) is on, unless it has the power source.

  Can someone tell me what I need to do?
  Help, please

  Thank you

  Hi Sonia,.

  I suggest that you try to remove the battery and power supply so that all power of the laptop is turned off. Reconnect AC power and try to turn on the laptop. If it works, then re-install the battery. I think that the electronics of power sometimes get "stuck" and this procedure usually receives smooth them.

  If the unit still does not power on after having tried the above procedure, then I suuspect there must be a problem of internal material in which case you must take the device to a partner of Service authorized for rectification.

  Kind regards

• Tecra 9100 unrecognized hard drive

  Hello
  If I replace the hard drive in my tosh bios indicates no hard disk is installed.
  The new hard drive is MK2016GAP I tried with and without the master/slave relationship.

  Clues?

  Hello

  The MK2016GAP is a 20 GB HARD drive.
  I searched the Internet for the Tecra 9100 and discovered that the phone comes with 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.
  BIOS shouldn't t so no problem with the size of the HARD drive. The size of the HARD drive is certainly supported.

  So I think it's a problem of jumper or you did not connect the disk HARD corectly.
  I put t know how the jumper was set to your old HDD, but you should check the position of the jumper and put it also on the new HARD drive.
