• Satellite P100 - missing controller Ethernet

  I was wondering if someone can help me. My laptop Satellite P100 (PSPA3C SD300E) is missing from its ethernet controller and I have problems installing. I downloaded the Chip Set Utility and running, but when I run Intel's LAN on Toshiba support that he ask me if I want to delete the drivers all Intel Pro network connections wired. There is only a single .exe file which is PROUnstl.exe.

  According to me, Miss me something here. Sorry this may be very simple to solve.

  I hope someone is able to help.

  Thank you

  If the network adapter is not installed properly it will be displayed in the device as unknown device manager. Please download driver LAN from the Toshiba download page and extract it to a new folder on the desktop.

  In Device Manager enter the properties of this unknown device and select the option to install the driver. Follow the on-screen menu and navigate to this folder.
  The driver will be installed correctly. Just follow the menu on the screen.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100: Lack of keystrokes when you type

  Hi, this is my first post on this (or any) forum, so I hope this makes sense.

  Someone else has had problems with missing keys while typing on a satellite p100. Basically, when typing I find that a couple of characters is omitted at random (every 5-6 seconds). This seems to happen with the internal keyboard, I have not noticed anything with my external USB keyboard.

  At first, I thought it was my typing, but if I hold down a key, I can see a visible shift every few seconds. Also if I Alternatively type '1' and '-' get ignored characters evry few keys, like this...

  1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-11-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1--1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1

  .. .these symptoms suggest that perhaps it is not material, but I could be wrong

  Looking through the forums, I see similar problems with the M60 but no obvious solution. I don't think that someone came up with something?

  Thanks for the help

  Hello

  I don't think that the motherboard or a key USB, LAN, etc. is responsible for the problem of keyboard.
  I checked in similar forums on different units and especially a BIOS update solved all the problems of keyboard interrupt.
  You should check the page of the Toshiba driver to the most recent BIOS update. If there is no new version update of the BIOS so I am sure it will be available at a later date.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Problem running 4,80 Bios Update on the Satellite P100-473

  Hello
  I have a satellite P100-473 enriched with 4 GB of ram, using ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64 with nvidia driver.

  Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

  I guess that's a BIOS and a driver problem.

  Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

  I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

  While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

  The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

  I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

  If you have an idea thanks ;)

  Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
  You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.

• After the last update of BIOS that Satellite P100 locks with BSOD

  Hello

  Due to several problems meeting with updated Toshiba Satellite P100-221 (PSPA6E) launch second online BIOS updated. I have download and I solve problems with my video card and the race of missing keyboard. After a short period, they put on the update of the BIOS rd page 3 drivers.

  I'm trying to find what ever they change with this new update, but I na? t find anything. So I decided to update my BIOS again. Now as a result my system crash very often when I quit & restart my computer (blue screen).

  Microsoft advised me to reduce the video acceleration for video adjustment.
  Maybe can someone explain to me why I have this problem?
  I use the same drivers and software same as in the second update
  I can find BIOS previous to rewrite again, because this one works very well with my laptop?

  Thank you!

  Hi Sebasian

  I use very long books and I've never updated the BIOS if not necessary. What laptop works well, OS stabile, why should I do it? I don t care if new BIOS update is available or not. I've always been skeptical about the updates to the BIOS. That's just my opinion.

  As far as I know, it is not possible to downgrade the version of the BIOS without special tools and it can be done by service partners. It is not easy to tell if the BIOS is responsible for this, but if possible, try to send us illustrated if BSOD errors.

  If I were you I backup all important data and reinstall the recovery image, configure OS for my needs, and make sure that everything is clean pre-installed. My experience with BSOD were always related software.

• Satellite P100: How to connect to internet via WiFi?

  I read a post above that says that the sticker on the bottom of the laptop ' wireless network: no w/l ' means that there are no installed wireless.
  I'm fairly certain that my Satellite P100 has installed. I customized my phone, ensuring that I have added wireless for the school.

  I have an on-off switch for the wireless on the case. Also, when I entered a zone wireless for the first time, a program (Q-Connect) came.
  I reinstalled Windows XP and wonder if it is a software that is missing (which has been the case with other similar programs audio).

  This could be the operator error?
  I don't know anything wireless.
  How to connect to wireless internet?

  Hello

  First, you must be sure that your laptop has WLan card to 100%. Go to the Device Manager and check the network adapters section. If you will see card WLan (intel or atheros) then you unit definitely has the Wlan card.
  To use the WiFi network, you must configure your Wlan router. Consult the manual.
  You must then activate the Wlan switch on the side of the laptop and use the combination FN + F8 to select the WiFi network.

  For the other steps, you can also check this forum wireless. Here you will find a lot of descriptions.

• Satellite P100: After BIOS update 4, 00-WINNER cannot use his & wireless card

  Dear all,

  I was a proud owner of the Satellite P100-437 4 months already, but last week I started having major problems with my laptop. First of all, next day after I bought the laptop with Vista, I get off my laptop for Windows XP SP2 and everything was fine. I had all this work and I enjoyed my laptop a lot. Last week, I checked Toshiba web site for new drivers and I downloaded the new update of the bios 4, 00 - WIN and apply.

  After the headaches started. Suddenly, I lost my sound, but in Device Manager the sound card works fine. In addition, the small light in the wireless switch is missing and then the wireless device, saying also in the device manager that works very well.

  I backed up all my data and reinstall win xp, clean and I installed the audio drivers and nothing has changed, the sound is still missing. Same story with the wireless. Yesterday, I've been witness to something else, I have attached an external hard drive, that is with usb connection and also usb power, and suddenly the sound and the wireless back for everything, but interrupting and finally disappeared again.

  So, now, I wonder what to do and any help on this is appreciated. I work on cruise ships and my laptop it is priceless.

  Deniz

  Hello Deniz

  I told everyone every time: Please do nothing while OS works well!

  Do not forget this. The problem is that your laptop comes with Vista OS and BIOS is also designed for Vista. You were very lucky to run Windows XP Home edition with success and now you updated the BIOS designed Vista yet. I really wonder not that you have problems now.

  What to do in this situation? It's very good questions. Try reinstalling the drivers for the sound and WLAN. Maybe this will help. Maybe clean install of WXP. I can't say for sure. I A200 (also Vista preinstalled) and I think that for the moment I have no interest in updating anything. Not yet.

  Bye and good luck!

• Re: Satellite P100-160 - is there a Wireless N card?

  Hello

  is there a WIFI Wireless N card which you can adapt the P100-160?

  Anyone know?

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  I have of course there are a lot of network WIRELESS n draft cards they will be insert in Satellite P100, but I think that you will not be able to use the draft N speed because need you so 3 instead of 2 m antennas.

  It s doesn't know only not for me that some Satellite P100 has been bundled with the project so I m sure that 2 antennas are not installed.
  With other words, it would be useless if you upgrade project ;) WIRELESS n network adapter

• Pascal boot from a DVD on my Satellite P100

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100. I want to boot on a DVD. When the computer starts, the screen goes from black to the Welcome to windows screen, and there is no message that indicates which key to press to access the boot menu. I tried to press F2 or F12, but if I do the screen remains black and that windows won't even start. F1 or F10 or del have no effect. ESC for 5 seconds, either.

  A few weeks ago (I did not any changes in bios or anything like that, what I did is updated on windows), I had a white line that says press key (F12), but now this is not more. I don't even have the toshiba logo.

  I flashed the BIOS with the latest update, with no result.

  Edit: I have new intel: since the problem seems to come from the screen (some keys (F2, F12) 'work' in the sense it does something special, rather than just logging on to windows and this unusual thing they do is to make the screen stay black - as if the screen wasn't turned on yet, but the computer was waiting for a response from the user) I tried to connect my laptop to another screen. I have counfounded the vga cable ends and ends by connecting my laptop to a desktop instead of his screen. The result of this was rather strange: when my laptop is connected to a desktop computer, the laptop screen is lit normally, and I see the toshiba logo and the boot/bios menu shortcuts. Other that taking the power of the display, the connection had obviously no effect: I don't see the content of the desktop on my laptop, I just saw my laptop because I usually do, and it's because the vga port is usually intended to be connected to another screen and not to another computer.

  So what do you think about this experience, which is certainly interesting, and you now see what could be my problem and so how to fix?

  Thank you.

  PS: If you have more questions/details, please do not hesitate to ask.

  Hello John

  To be honest, I wish I had your laptop in front of me and see exactly what is happening.
  Is that this message be down occurs when the cell is on a regular basis down. If the laptop wakes mode sleep or hibernation, this message will not appear.

  So I m pretty confused with all this and can not understand what is happening exactly.
  When the operating system is loaded click please Windows Start button and choose the option closed and don't forget the laptop shut down correctly

  After doing this book for beginning and check how it looks like new. Please post comments.

• Satellite P100-423 - RTC battery replacement

  I'm happy enough to replace the CMOS / RTC on Satellite P100-423 battery because the device is out of warranty and the battery needs to be replaced.
  Le-423 is a build of Costco and not much found after the mandatory, manual Google and research forum.

  Can anyone recommend a type satisfying to do this, no clue on the former.

  Thank you

  Hey,.

  Are you sure that the RTC battery is replaceable?
  I ask this question because as much as I know it is not possible on all s models and if it is replaceable you can find the specs on the battery itself if you disassemble the laptop.

  Normally, this battery can be charged if you leave the AC/DC adapter plugged in for 24 hours. Have you already tried?

• Satellite P100-307 - massive heat problem, keypad heater

  Had my Satellite P100-307 for almost two years now and it's a good and useful media-notebook, but it never HOT side left keyboard, especially games.

  But in recent weeks, the keyboard is pretty HOT and I don't know why! Because I6vgt ´m using only low level applications.

  I did a full restore to clean any virus or other malware, but it continues to get hot, as if I where in the highest graphics modes, the games, but just I m using IE7 and a LateX editor for the creation of PDF Documents - that s nothing for a dual-core processor! Kaspersky 7.0 has been throtteld down, as far as the security is allwoing it.

  So why it s heat like that in 30 to 60 Minutes. He has never done this before, I m sure.

  It s so hot, it's quite unpleasant to work with her, because placing even the heel of your hand next to the touchpad makes my hand sweating!

  Would be grateful for any comment or advice,

  Greetings

  Looks like the laptop is overheated, it is a common problem with laptops that are used in a dusty environment (a room with carpet, for example).

  Buy compressed air in a box and spray it in the vents to remove dust.

• Fractures of fatigue on the Satellite P100-423

  Hi all

  This is my first post here.
  The hinges on my Satellite P100-423 have always been fairly rigid. Thus fractures of stress now appeared on the back of the lid near the hinges.
  I bought in Nov/06 and it seems to be now out of warranty.
  I would appreciate any advice on what I can do about it or how to get it fixed.

  I totally agree with codes for the ASP must replace it and I think that this plastic cover should t be too expensive.

  If you n t know how to communicate with ASP, then please check this database:
