• Portege 4000 turns off after 20 minutes

  My Portege 4000 shuts down suddenly after 20 minutes, sometimes it takes our during 30-40 minutes.
  He then walks back for a few hours.

  Here's what I've tried, and it still happens:
  -On the sector, with or without battery
  -With a different (same) AC apator
  -Unplugged battery operated
  -Held at the BIOS screen (incase it was a Windows problem)

  The fan works, although it feels very powerful.
  And the power light flashes an error code (how can I decode it?).

  Although I don't really use it much, I really want my small Portege of junk.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  This looks like a laptop overheating if the temperature is too high, the portable computer shuts down to prevent the equipment from damage

  But the flashing error code is unusual. To my knowledge along means 0 1 and short

• Portege 4000 hard drive Replacement - what HARD drive is compatible?

  Is it possible to find a replacement for my Portege 4000 HARD drive, because the original becomes very capricious?

  Hi mate

  I think that the Portege 4000 is an elder and in my opinion this laptop supports a 2.5 HARD disk.
  I m not 100% sure, so I recommend you to install a hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home Edition which would provide all the information on the HARD drive is internal.
  That would help you get a new, compatible HARD drive.

  I found a replacement disk for my Portege 4000. It's exactly the same as the previous, but when I installed CDBurnerXP and Nero, they were unable to detect the drive, so I could not burn a CD, although I have read in Windows Media Player.

  I also tried 'Search the hardware changes' in the device but Manager who did not work, so don't know what to do next.

• Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

  I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

  -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

  -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

  -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

  -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

  Thanks much for any help.

  The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
  PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
  PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
  PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
  After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

• Portege 4000 - how to install the display driver for XP?

  Hi-

  I did a clean install of XP Portege 4000. The system has been previously default 98SE.

  Noticed that there is a yellow exclamation point in other devices about the video controller (VGA compatible). I downloaded the display on the Toshiba site driver (if it is the right thing?), but can't seem to install. There is no setup.exe to help me.

  My XP screen covers only 3/4 or more of the screen total, so that something is wrong somewhere...

  Hello

  No, Toshiba don't support Linux or Ubuntu on the Portege 4000 and you can t find drivers for it on the Toshiba page. Only Windows drivers are available.

  I m not an expert in Linux, but as far as I know you don t need additional graphic driver for Ubuntu. You should only change the resolution of the screen or something in the settings of the screen. I had the same problem on the first time I used Linux and I could solve it without additional driver but I put t know how I did it :(

  Good bye

• Portege 4000 - I would like to upgrade memory: 256 MB to 512 MB

  Hello

  I have a Portege 4000 and want to upgrade the memory: 256 MB to 512 MB.
  It has 98SE and the user always wants to keep this system.

  Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the upgrade to 512 MB I saw a thread in 2005, by someone who had a problem?

  I suppose that the memory SODIMM PC133. I ordered a 512 MB of RAM to aememory last year, but the system would have not even begun. Maybe they had sent me the wrong chip?

  Thank you

  Tim

  Hmm. perhaps that the RAM modules are not 100% compatible
  To my knowledge, it should be possible to upgrade the RAM up. 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)
  You could also upgrade to 512 MB by using one or two 256 MB modules.

  You must use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules and I found these modules that are compatible:
  PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
  PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)

  Also on this page:

  There are a few modules that should work with the Portege 4000

• Portege 4000 - Win 98SE want to update

  I have a Portege 4000 and I'm looking to switch from Windows 98SE. The obvious alternatives are W2000, XP or Ubuntu Linux.

  If I can find a full version of Windows XP Home edition, I'd be able to make a clean (rather than upgrade) installation and get drivers?
  Officially, the laptop is only compatible with 98SE or 2000, but these systems are old now.

  I imagine that if I update XP 98SE on it will keep all the drivers, but this is not my preferred method of installation and installs own are better.

  Win98 uses Win95 Basic code, which is not compatible with NT/2000/XP. If the Win98 drivers do not work.

  You must back up your documents, format C: then install fresh XP.

  You can use the drivers Windows 2000 XP - sound basically the same operating system internally.
  If for any reason any the Win2000 drivers do not work, you can use XP drivers from other models of same era.

• Portege 4000 - Installed W2K - wireless connection problem

  I installed W2K the Portege 4000. XP was too heavy a resource for this system.

  After you install the network driver wireless Cisco (3.5.13.0) of your Web site, I am unable to get a wireless connection. In XP this comes automatically with an icon. The network device switch that I also installed did not help.

  I have the following:

  Connection to the local network - ethernet

  2 - wireless LAN connection

  Although LAKE 2 is activated this still does not pick up wireless.

  Any ideas?

• Portege 4000 running XP Pro SP2, no WPA with Wireless option

  Hello
  Can someone let me know if the Portege 4000 Mini wireless adapter supports WPA? I tried the Cisco and Lucent drivers on the Toshiba site with no joy and I am up to date with XP, SP2 etc.. The card works fine with an open wireless link.
  Thank you

  Hi Charlie

  AFAIK This oldie, Portege 4000, was equipped with the card Wireless LAN ORiNOCO (Agere).
  According to the user manual the Wlan card supports only data encryption Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP short).
  So I doubt that the WPA would be available.

  Maybe you can switch on an external USB WLan key that supports the ciphers.

• Portege 4000 1 GB memory upgrade?

  Hello!
  I have an old laptop Toshiba Portege 4000.
  The manual indicates a upgrade memory up to 512 MB (2x256MB) is possible. But the technical specification on toshiba-live website indicates an upgrade memory up to 1 GB (2x512MB) is possible.
  I brought 2x512MB (SO-DIMM 512 MB SD RAM SDRAM PC133 PC 133 512 MB 144 PINS) ANONYMOUS memory from ebay and it does not work. The system does not start.

  Now my question. Can I go up to 1 GB with the Kingston memory recommended toshiba or it just won't work in general?
  Anyone here with experience on that?

  Thanks in advance.

  normally a portege 4000 is upgradeble up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB sdram pc133, 3, 3v)

  However the architecture and the number of tokens on the modules can cause an incomptability, so I guess that "misfortune."

  on ebay-express you can find them for about 50 US$ (search for portege 4000; memory)

• Can I use 80 GB in Portege 4000?

  I'm tired of searching for a hard drive for my computer laptop Toshiba Portege 4000 (PIII). The only ones available come from 80 GB. Is there a way I can fit this size of hard drive in my laptop? I need to know this before as I have buy a.

  Very difficult to say if the BIOS will recognize that the new inserted 80 GB of HARD drive.
  As far as I know that the Portege 4000 has been delivered with the 20 GB HARD drive.

  Hmm, I think the 80 GB could works but he can't say for sure!
  You will need to test because the Toshiba does not have any official information on the compatible HARD drive sizes.

  What you need is a HARD drive that supports an IDE interface. You could buy one with ATA5 (U - DMA 5 100 Mbps), but it will only work to 66 MB/s due to the limitation of HARD disk controller.
