• Question about the feature keys FN on Portege R200

  Hello! My laptop is a Portege R200

  I cleaned up my HARD drive and installing WXP Pro

  I downloaded all the drivers for the Toshiba site R200

  Now the problem is that there are two kinds a change of the device driver display

  I installed the first called TDspBtn and now I am able to get the LCD, LCD + CRT or CRT by pressing Fn + F5. I do not like this feature because theres no icon displayed as brightness oder speaker power.

  The other is TFnF5. If I click on it, nothing happens and the function FN + F5 is still the TDspBtn.

  ------------------------

  My next prob is the FN + F8 combination. I installed the driver from wirlesshotkey and nothing happens if I press FN + F8
  Normally using this utility you can switch of Bluetooth for wireless connection by pressing Fn + F8. If Bluetooth is not available, it will turn on and outside wireless lan.

  Please help me!

  Greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  It is not easy to give you the right answer because this FN feature does not depend on a tool only. The fact is that several separate components must be installed correctly.
  On the Toshiba download page, I saw that there are two different models of the Portege R200. I don't know which you have, but for each of them you will find the document Instructions facilities with the exact order of installations.

  So what you need to do is to install all the drivers, tools and utilities following this order of installations.
  If all the components must be installed correctly. After doing this, all these processes are running in the background and you can use all the functions FN.

  The same situation is for the FN + F8.

• Portege R200 - re - install Windows XP

  We just took delivery of a Toshiba Portege R200 as an assessment
  Especially the small size Toshiba laptops. We bought from another manufacturer
  laptops in the past, but these come (strangely) with PCMCIA slots so that we cannot use
  Vodafone 3 G/GPRS cards.

  Anyway, this isn't the point. As seems to be the case with modern
  manufacturers, the laptop is loaded to the top with all kinds of garbage (sorry useful)
  utilities) which we certainly do not want! So we want to re - install plain
  Windows XP Pro vanilla and from there - we have our own build
  Configuration.

  Apart from the laptop doesn't come only not with a CD/DVD drive.
  It came only with a "recovery CD". What is this recovery
  Contain CDs? What is a Windows XP Pro installation CD or an image of the laptop with
  all the useful stuff already installed. So late, how should we do
  get a CD-ROM of relocation? I guess it's an OEM Windows XP Pro
  license there.

  Thank you, Rob.

  Hi Rob

  Recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba designed tools and utilities (;)) very useful utilities and some applications such as WinDVD or even antivir program.) If you use recovery media that you will have factory settings as after the first start.

  In my opinion, you should preinstall unit with media recovery because on this path, all hardware components will be perfect set up. After that, you can remove all the stuff that you n t want.

  Otherwise, you can install your own operating system by using the Microsoft full version CD, and then install all the drivers only. You have them on CD tools & utilities, or you can download them from the download page of Toshiba. All that s!

  If you have any other questions, please write again.

  Good bye

• Portege R200 - video corruption in XP SP2

  Hello

  I have a 'master' XP SP2 build that I adapt to the Toshiba Portege R200 laptop. It's the first Tosh, I have worked with (normally HP). I installed all the Tosh and tools software and downloaded/installed the latest drivers on the tosh site.

  Intermittently, I get the video corruption on the desktop in XP. Some parts of the screen or the menus and buttons display black and white trash.

  Has anyone other saw this and have any ideas how to fix? Is there an older video driver, that I can try?

  Thank you.

  Did you follow the instructions for installation on the website? You must install the drivers in the order in which they are listed. otherwise can cause problems with the machine: here is the order

• Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

  Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
  (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
  (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

  Background:
  (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
  (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
  (3) a week later the HD has no
  (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
  (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

  I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

  Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
  I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

  Hello

  I have seen words about your question.
  AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
  Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
  But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

  However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
  You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

  PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
  I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01

• Portege R200 recovery CD recovery problem

  I tried to recover with different portege R200 from the recovery disks. The two models are identical, and both models have the same problem. I boot with the recovery disk 1, I get the choice of 1, 2 and 3.

  I choose number 1 to retrieve the machine (a recommended) hard disk, and then restarts gives me another set of choices. As soon as I make a choice and confirm it, I get an error message saying that my cd/dvd drive is not connected. The CD/DVD drive is a USB which I've tried two different brands with the same result. All I can think is that I have to do something wrong.

  If someone knows what that please let me know.

  Hello

  I studied a bit in this forum and found this interesting thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=32612罤

  There is a list of the compatible and tested external CD/DVD drives.

  one) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, CD-RW/DVD-Rom USB 2.0 drive
  (b) Toshiba PA3402E-1DV2, Rev.501, USB 2.0 DVD Super Multi drive, SN: 5362870112
  (c) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST, (Freecom drive), SN: 3431490096

  with a CardBus cable II, MAP of BUS, Rev.136, SN: 16693 136 3999 0149 06122

  Is that not all external drives are compatible and updated day and in my opinion, this could be the reason why your laptop starts properly since the external hard drive.

• Cannot connect Portege R200 with desktop PC on wireless network

  Hello

  I'm happy with newly acquired Tosh Portege R200.
  Successfully connected to the router and the internet, wifi.
  Changed the name of r200 and define your work group name so that the other PC will be detected - be they - and Tosh arise also under my network places, it does.

  So all hunky dory... until I tried to access the laptop on the desk, at which point WinXP threw a password request.
  And here's my question: since no password have been defined on the Portege (XP clean re-install) for all users or administrators what IS THE PASSWORD?

  Yours in hope and waiting oh great sage over there...

  Hello

  I have no idea what password you need, but usually, you have to set the right permission on the folder that you want to share on the network.
  I connected my two computers (both with Win XP) with a crossover network cable.
  Then I put the same name of working group on both computers and manually assigned IP address; IE: 192.168.50.1 and 192.168.50.2
  Then, I selected the folder-> properties-> sharing tab.
  Here you can set the permissions.

  Using the WiFi network, you must set the option for * Ad-hoc network.
  This allows you to use a connection from computer to computer.

• Replacing the fan on Portege R200/205

  Hello Forum,

  My Portege R200 (R205?) fan no longer works. I searched a spare part from ebay and discovered,
  that a fan costs between 12 and 25, - euros.

  http://shop.eBay.de/?_FROM=R40&_trksid=M570&_nkw=R200+l%C3%BCfter

  ... it of cool, but how can I know, type I need?

  now, we want to replace the fan:
  -------------------------------------------
  ... and ask myself questions:

  1. what I do (disconnect) before changing the fan?
  2. what I have to remove all coverage and the disk, as described in 4.9 before I could change the fan?

  Best regards

  Inadmissible link is deleted.

  How to find the right part? I don't know the man. Either you contact the nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. They can check the Toshiba database and give you the exact reference, or you must disassemble check and portable all if fan has a sticker with part number.

  Please disassemble your laptop just if you know what you're doing. Before you start to do this unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery.
  According to my experience for the whole laptop fan replacement must be dismantled. Fan has small connector from the motherboard to the power supply and it must be disconnected from the motherboard.

  Be careful with this. Design of portable computers is very sensible and small mistake can result with parts broken as cover or plastic small operators.

  Please think twice before you start to remove the screw. :)

• Portege R200 - PXE - E61: media test failure - insert system disk

  My Portege R200 PPR21E-00K00QEN computer means the usual stuff of toshiba: IE

  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - MOF outgoing PXE ROM

  Insert system disk in drive

  Now my model isn't a hard drive and I bought second hand, so I have no recovery disks.
  I checked the HARD drive and its seems connected properly.

  Would I need to buy an external drive and try a system disk or is there anything else I could try.

  Any suggestions or advice?

  PXE - E61: media test failure, check cable message appears because the laptop has attempted to boot from LAN.
  Why?
  Because it could not start the HARD drive, or another source like CD/DVD drive.
  Usually this happens because of faulty HARD drive.

  So how to fix?

  I think first of all you will need to replace the HARD drive.

  Since the Portégé R200 doesn't support CD/DVD drive, you must install the system using bootable flash USB stick memory or you would need to buy an external CD-ROM USB drive that would be compatible with protégé R200

• Portege R200 - Display driver for Windows 7

  I upgrades the operating system on my Toshiba Portege R200 to Windows 7

  TThe BONE determined my monitor as generic, it does not allow more than display settings. I think I need to replace the driver. Toshiba has no update driver for this model

  Is there any equivalent elsewhere, or with toshiba under other models?

  Hey,.

  I agree with you, santhi_G. I checked the site Web of Toshiba Portege R200 drivers and there is no available drivers for Windows 7 or Vista same. Only XP and Windows 2000 is supported. :(

  I discovered that the Portege R200 Intel graphics so probably has that you can find a driver directly on the Intel Web site. It's worth a try ;)

• Portege R200 - works with or without extended desktop

  Jin
  the last 2 years I have worked with a provincial court 2010 portege now just bought a portege r200.

  I already had a problem with dual-view:

  at the office, I work with office extended Windows on a second monitor.
  at home, I had only the display porteges. but windows does not know ;)
  ... until I have adjust with windows control panel. When I work in the Office
  Yet once connect the second monitor and windows recognizes it. But a duty adjust
  again extended desktop settings (relative position and screen resolution).

  has tried to find a tool to work with two reg files. Nothing helps. now a hope
  the promotion of r200 could fix my problem. the graphics accelerator intel seems
  for can do what I want. but I haven't found a solution for my problem.

  someone at - it an idea?

  Best regards

  Hello

  The same situation here. I have Tecra M1 and I turn it on manually every time because the portable store the last known configuration. On the new laptops it is much simpler because there is new option when you use the FN + F5 key combination and you can quickly switch between the different views.

  Please start Toshiba Mobile Extension tool and display services tab change and test it with internal/external image display different profile. I tested it with my laptop and it works perfectly.

  Good luck!

• Start - option from menu on Portege R200

  The Toshiba Portege R200 has a boot menu option? I tried F12 and C and nothing happens. The only way I've found is to change the boot priority in the BIOS.

  Thank you, Rob.

  Hello Rob

  If you use CD or bootable DVD (supplied recovery media), you can use the C button and on this path, you must be available to boot from the CD/DVD (Toshiba drives).

  I have no experience with this model of Portege, but if you can see small symbols at the beginning upward under close to the HOME screen left or right-arrow and you will be able to choose which drive you want to start.

• After updating my Portege R200 cannot connect to Windows XP

  Hello

  I have problem with my Portege R200.
  After that I upgraded my window xp1 xp2 there is no problem, but after that another update came and I installed it as usual and windows must restart so I restart, then as usual loading windows logon. After you restart windows to logon at the beginning to a selected account and restart again to open a previous session. Can this forum/moderator help me?
  Pending review

  Thank you

  Hi Manon,.

  I suggest that you start your Portege in 'safe' mode and then use the installation of "System Restore" to restore your system to a point before you install the latest update.

  Kind regards

• Portege R200: Sound does not work on the modem

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get sound of my modem?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Portege R200 with Win XP Version 2002 SP2 with a Toshiba Software modem on COM3. When I dial a number with the modem there is no sound, even if the modem work and connect to my server.

  · The sound works for other applications and Windows itself, so I know the speakers work.
  · I moved my hard drive on another laptop and had the same problem, so I know that it's a software issue and not a hardware problem.
  · In Control Panel sounds and peripheral Audio, the volume is set to high and the Volume, phone, Mono control Out and other volume settings are all rich.
  · In the modems Control Panel Options and the modem speaker volume is set to high
  · In the properties of the Modem, it indicates that the device is working properly
  · Through HyperTerminal, I sent the AT & F, ATM2 and ATL3 commands to be sure, has everything been settled properly (and the answer to all was OK)

  Someone at - it see this problem with the modem doesn't do not all sound? Suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Mike

  Hello

  I put t know which sound modem tell you exactly but is it so important to you?
  If the modem works correctly and you can connect to the internet, why you want to have the sound of the modem? Maybe you hear the strange sound of modem that is displayed when the modem tries to build an internet connection.

  You can try to change the numbering in help. Maybe it s in legumes and want to have the tone.
  To do this, you will need to enter in the Control Panel, and then select the modem.
  Please indicate the location on the dialing rules tab, and select Edit.

  You can then change the dial using the general tab.

  It will be useful.
