• Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

  I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

  so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

  the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

  but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

  hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

  * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

  * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

  Hello olekike

  Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
  View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.

• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

• Portege M400 - how to remove the Protector Suite fingerprint data

  Hi all

  (1) Protector Suite 5.4 sometimes generated a crash of Windows XP on my Portege M400.

  (2) I followed the suggestion of WinXP and upgraded to version 5.8. Unfortunately, this way I lost the automatic access features to Web sites protected by (the online help 5.8 says that this module is optional, but I have not found how to install it).

  (3) so I uninstalled the 5.8 and put again on the 5.4.

  (4) in the event of a disaster.

  (5) it is clear that the fingerprint data, updated to 5.8 format, are still somewhere in the system. Uninstalling Protector Suite's not destroy them. For this reason the 5.4 original does not do something, because in its user opinion data are corrupted. First of all, I can't remove/change data user from inside the program.

  So, please, let me know where these data of fingerprints damned are so I'll be able to remove and Protector Suite from scratch.

  Thanks in advance.
  PEI

  Hello

  I think there must be a folder or files storing fingerprints
  But I m not sure where it is placed

  However, as far as I know, you can use ONLY PS to enrol fingerprints.
  Have a look here:
  http://img22.imageshack.us/i/protectorsuite.gif/

  There is an option that can cancel the stored fingerprints.

  If uninstalling the software didn't help then use and clean the BONES and using a tool, for example, the registry CCLeaner.
  It deletes all files and data on the HARD drive (in the registry) which have not been removed by Windows.

• Portege R500 - how to replace the SSD?

  Hello

  I opened my laptop to check what I need to buy the brand SSD. However, is the first time that I change a SSD drive and I don't know where he is and how to replace. So, if someone can answer with the steps of how to do to replace the SSD I will appreciate it.

  Thank you
  Nils.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
  So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

  But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

  I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.

• Portege M100 - how to replace the RTC battery?

  Hello, my Portege M100 RTC battery is flat. I managed to order one of the internet, but I can't locate. I disassemble almost every part of the computer, but if someone could just guide me and give the procedure to replace, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

  Hi friend

  It s easy to replace the RTC battery on your machine. I already did and I had no problem when replacing, I mean it's a bit difficult to find the batt. but I will give all that to my experience. ;)

  First look at the wireless lan card, West a slot under the slot lies the minipci wlan card. Near the wireless lan card slot is somewhat on the cover, this cover must be removed (quietly). The RTC battery is located in a white insulator, but before you peel this small battery, you must disconnect the battery from the motherboard. After unplugging it, simply lift the RTC and place a new.

  That's all, unfortunately I can't serve you with some photos, so you'll have to imagine yourself. ;)

  Good luck and welcome

  P.s.: If you feel uncomfortable by replacing the batt, then ask some tech to help you.

• Portege R700 how to replace the keyboard

  Hello!

  One of the keys on my R700 R700 laptop model PT311A-00Y00Q has a broken key. Apparently, you can get spare keys, so I need a whole new keyboard.

  I found this on EBay: keyboard http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Toshiba+R700+ & _sacat = 0

  But I can't find a guide to replacement of the keyboard, would you mind linking me to a guide?

  Thanks in advance.

  I've read some reports of users who have tried to replace the keyboard on the R700 and it's not very easy.
  It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
  Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
  Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
  And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts

• 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 M400: How to change the size of the graphics memory 945GM?

  Hello

  Is anyone know how can I limit the minimum and maximum graphics memory on 945 GM Graphics Card (M400).
  My goal is to put FIXED to 128 so that I don't have freezes when video memory change. It of VERY annoying and punishes my work (Office 2007 is very eager or on video and main memory).

  Thank you
  Filipe

  Hello Filipe

  It will be interesting to know what you mean under punishing work of Office 2007.

  In any case AFAIK on Intel (shared memory) graphics card it is not possible to fix the graphics memory to a specific value (no BIOS settings and also no matter what setting in advanced display settings). If you want to use more RAM for the graphics I recommend you to upgrade RAM.

  Sorry, but I don't see any other solution.

• Satallite A100: How to replace the keys?

  Is there a manual on how to replace the keys once they come out?

  My Satallite A100, a year, lost two keys a few weeks ago, and I am unable to replace them, even if I have all the parts (little). It got even worse when some more broke recently, when my grandson some peeled off, using exhibit created by the keys already disappeared.

  Thank you!

  Hello Mike

  Read your ad I don't understand exactly what is wrong with your keyboard but deleting and creating keycaps (plastic with written symbol) is not problematic. You have to just put this right into place and push it gently. You will hear a click and the key CAP will be back to the square.

  Under this cap is placed small plastic mechanism. It contains two small plastic parts. If they are deleted from the bottom, you can put them inside once again. To see how it looks like to remove any other key cap and see how it is placed.

  I did the same today, and with a little patience you can put it in the right position again.

• How to replace the contents of the settings/passwords backup server / current browser bookmarks?

  Classic scenario: after the bookmark long manual organization Firefox Sync adds trash of its server to my laptop or tablet.

  Where can I find how to replace the content of the backup of the server by settings/passwords / current browser bookmarks? Stupid me, I put a new synchronization and lost this ability.

  It is not recommended to go back to the old version of Sync

  The old version is removed he'll stop being available soon, it takes getting used to using the new version.

  IIRC, it is actually possible to force synchronization of the old working with Fx29 & Fx30 using an old profile or preferences of piracy, but I don't think I should encourage users to try this, but it would be better than using an older version of Firefox which is really bad. In fact using an old outdated version of Firefox is so bad, that it is customary to recommend using a browser on alternative day of someone else instead.

  Firefox ESR is aimed at corporate users, definitely, at the moment, it will use the synchronization of the former. Who will update soon to use synchronization well again, and this time, I guess the synchronization of the former will probably totally frowned upon for example are not available at all.

  It is possible to use the feedback system to leave a short comment on Sync. I would recommend this making, but at least to make very many people of spirit comments that I doubt will have no effect.

• Satellite Pro L50 - a: how to replace the memory, HARD drive and battery

  I just uploaded 2 new video from Youtube on the L50 - A. Satellite Pro

  The first is a tear down showing how to replace the memory, hard drive and battery (you can also clean the fan if it detects overheating).

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI

  BTW why they made it so difficult to get just to the battery in this model?

  WARNING - proceed at your own risk and don't forget static precautions!

  Hope they help and if you have any questions let me know.

  Thanks for these videos. It may be useful to replace the memory, but I think that the owners of the laptop should not open the case. This may void the warranty.
  Be careful about this.

• How to replace the CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  My laptop's dvd - rom drive is old and broken, now that I have here an other dvd - rom drive, but I don't know how to remove the old dvd - rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manuals how to replace the dvd - rom drive?

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure on the CD/DVD drive replacement on this laptop, but I assume that the procedure is very similar to other portable players.
  For the most part the ODD is secured with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
  You will need to remove this screw to get out and to swap the drive.

  But be careful and don t there if you have no experience!
  Moreover, not all readers are compatible and supported in reason parameters master/slave/c-salt. If you n t know which drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for advice!

• Qosmio G50 - 10J: how to replace the optical disc drive (ODD)?

  Hello

  the optical drive of my Qosmio G 50 does not work properly, it reads only some movie-DVD, but unfortunately not videogameDVDs at all, so I can't install any games.
  The guarantee is also outdated. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to change the disk myself, if it is then how I had to do and if by the laptop would be in
  risk to get damaged?

  I would be very grateful for each tip and all the help guys can give me!

  Best regards

  Hello

  In various cases the ODD replacement is very delicate.

  If you wish, you can consult this forum category.
  Here you will find some videos how to replace the ODD on the different laptop models:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/Forums/Forum.jspa?forumid=115

  This is also a nice Youtube Channel which provides the instructions how to replace the ODD:

  But the ODD laser lens may be dirty. In my case I could solve similar problem, cleaning the lens of the laser by using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.
  But make sure that this!
