Portege R100: Power not upward.

• Portege R100 does not start

  Can someone help me please. My Portege R100 does not start, when I turn the following text appears: in touch with tomorrow toshiba. After a few seconds a black screen with a blinking cursor on the left side of the screen.

  Thank you very much

  Hi Rehana,

  The Toshiba screen you will see first is the initial start screen is displayed while loading the BIOS. Once the BIOS has completed its process of loading, the system tries to boot the operating system and it is at this point that you have found the black screen with the blinking cursor in the upper left.

  Unfortunately, this indicates usually that the laptop can not load the operating system from the hard drive, or because the hard disk itself has not the contents have been damaged somehow.

  You might try to charge your laptop in 'safe' mode (press F8 during the initial loading of the BIOS) or you can try to boot your laptop from a bootable CD/DVD and hard drive.

  Finally, you can try to re - install your OS from the recovery CD.

  Kind regards

• Portege R100 will not start up CD

  I have a r100 and has now no OS and worse still it used to boot from external cd please can someone advise me how can I reload windows xp and have my computer back

  Hello

  What external hard drive that you are using?
  I read in this forum of Toshiba that not all external drives are compatible.
  You need a support if you want to boot from the CD!

  You know the knowledge base of Toshiba?
  I studied at this page and found this article:

• Portege R100 - does not start from CD player

  I have Toshiba Portege R100. I want to format and start all over again

  I use killdisk, excellent utility program, normally takes place the disc cd but the machine does not start from cd player, even when it is said in the bios, it says 'error of cable' & drive still works fine when the system is installed & running

  I want to remove unbuntu & just xp, thought that I would start plus-plus easy or simply to remove unbuntu?
  If remove unbuntu, how can I do this?

  Best regards, TIM

  Hey Buddy,

  If you want to have XP only, try to boot from a XP disc. You can format the drive HARD whole with XP disc that even Ubuntu is installed. I put t understand why you use another program to format the HARD drive

  Then boot from a XP disc and follow the instructions on the screen. If it doesn't work, it seems to be the material of your player to malfunction.

• Reload Windows XP on Portege R100

  I have a R100, who does not start in Windows (XP) - gets etc. secure mode/last good on-screen, then dies. I was going to try to repair the Windows installation using a XP normal drive, rather than a full recovery of the product, as the back-ups have been exceeded, of course, and I need some files.

  Another problem, my external PC card drive of Toshiba (PA3246) seems to be dead - power light turns on, but door will not open and not recognized on any PC. It seems impossible to get a Toshiba PC card disk now, only USB.

  So, questions:
  (1) what is the probability to repair the Windows installation, as opposed to the full recovery of the product?
  (2) any thoughts on a failed external drive?
  (3) would be a R100 boot from a Windows CD via a USB connection, or no one knows source of suitable PC card reader (already tried ebay etc.)?

  Any help at all welcomed.

  Hello

  I see you have a lot of Guy question ;) I will try to provide the best answers and proposals of solution :)

  Then on the point:
  1. I don't see any other chances of recovering all of the operating system.
  If you need some files, you could first remove the HARD drive and it could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller.

  2. If the external PC card reader is dead, it will take a new :( Sorry, but I don't see any other possibilities for a fix.
  Perhaps that the guarantee is valid and you will get a new one for free

  3. If you want more details on the R100 and boot USB please check this:

• Portege R100 and Linux - function keys not working do not and the latest version of the BIOS?

  Hello world

  I have a Portege R100 (PPR10L-13G10P). I am trying to install Linux and when you try to access function keys (F6) the computer does not allow me to... no idea why?

  Also, what is the latest version of BIOS for this computer? And where it can be downloaded?

  Thanks in advance!

  Terrence

  Hello

  At first, I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux in general if you are alone with this problem.
  I hope that someone will be able to help you a bit.
  If you want to discover the latest version of the BIOS, just enter the BIOS settings and check it out.
  BIOS version latest won't help you at all, so my opinion is that you shouldn't change anything.

  Anyway, the bio download page is - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

  The feature keys F is supported by special tool Windows and it only works on Windows.

• Touchpad does not work on Portege R100

  Hello

  I have recently boght a Toshiba Portege R100 without any installation CD Windows XP Home Edition worked fine but the touchpad is not.

  I installed additional drivers of Toshiba. Now, I'm able to adapt to all kinds of things about the Touchpad, but still it does not work. I was also running Knoppix 5.2 since July 2007. Same problem with Linux.

  Have I not a faulty laptop? How will I know, please?

  Have you tested the touchpad with Windows XP?
  You connected an external USB mouse and you have the same problem?

  Normally the touchpad should work without a driver, they are part of the operating system.
  You can disable/enable it with FN + F9.
  I'm not sure, but you can also enable/disable the touchpad in the BIOS.

  It could be that the touchpad is defective, but ask an ASP for help. They can check the necessary parts for laptop and Exchange.

• Portege R100 laptop computer does not start after a while without food

  Hello

  Well there is some time, I bought a beautiful used R100 - a laptop Toshiba in passing - but now, she has developed an annoying problem. Whenever it disconnect the laptop from the power supply for more than 2 hours about (don't know if this is not longer) I can't begin the R100, even if the battery indicator is green. After pressing the powerbutton the power led lights in green, and nothing happens. The "solution" to this problem is to give the R100 some time in this 'turned on' - State and after 15 minutes, I am able to start the computer (turn market again).

  I think that this could be a problem with a battery on the motherboard that is at its limits and needs time to gather enough power to start the computer.

  I hope you can help me identify the problem with my beloved laptop :)

  Yours,

  Tobias

  p.s. I have more or less need to identify the problem and some tips how to solve - the pleasure with the surgery will be from me :)

  p.p.s. Unlike the problem of the M400 further down, I've won if the beginning focused on the hard disk to Flash. In my case the R100 does not give a glance if it does not start. - And as a reference to the other post: "Hmm, I don't remember of the R100 fan not have it at all" * huggs its r100 * "."
  And I tried unplugging all the bits of the laptop and removed the battery, waited 15 minutes and tried to turn it on. the only way to obtain the departure of r100 is the method described above.

  You have an additional RAM installed?

  Maybe you need to re-seat, or it has a intermittent or heat associated with problem.

• Re: Portege R100-11Z no audio signal through headphones/mic not taken, via its USB OK

  Hello

  I did a clean install on my Portege R100-11Z of windows 7 and later a new clean install of Windows XP Prof SP3.

  In both configurations, I have no sound from the headphone/microphone jacks. (yes I check all the options: mute / his wheele next / new drivers / Toshiba eliminate program "mute" e.t.)
  All the configuration looks OK. I don't see anny WARNING/message in the configuration settings.

  But I hear via a USB headset via the USB.

  Looks like the built-in sound card Driver works OK because I get the sound through the USB.
  What is the solution to get the sound through the headphone/mic shots?

  Thanks for your help/advice.

  Will be

  > In two configurations, I have no sound from the headphone/microphone jacks.

  But that the sound from the speakers?

  Theoretically, it could be possible that the headphone is faulty
  Inside the headphone jack there is a little switch that switches between speakers and headphones.

• Portege R100 freezes - CPU fan is defective?

  I ' v was Portege R100s for a long time, maybe 7 years old, I am at my last one.

  I'll be back from it after eating and the XP screen froze, no mouse movement, CntrlAltDel did nothing. Press and hold the power button it stopped.

  Now I can start, but it freezes again in a very short time, a few minutes. I'm guessing that the processor fan is stopped.
  Not tht sounds good to people, it's a realistic possibility to cannibalize the carcass of my previous and hang the fan of my current group?

  Thank you

  Of course, it could be linked to the question of the CPU.
  If the CPU wouldn't be cooled correctly then the system can stop to answer.

  Are you sure that the fan has stopped working?
  If yes then the cooling module must be checked and replaced by the compatible.
  You may not use the cooling modules. It should be compatible.

  But to be honest, I think that the RAM modules need to be checked also
  In most cases, a RAM problem is more realistic as a defective cooling module

  My old laptop has stopped working because one of the RAM slot is faulty
  I delete a module and the laptop worked using a single module of RAM
  However, I couldn't use it as I wanted and I bought the new notebook.

• Portege R100 install XP on the replacement drive

  Help, please

  My hard drive in my R100 went bad and I replaced it and it became a nightmare to install XP.

  I spent 2 days on this subject, and I can't break! I have the original Toshiba USB floppy drive that can be accessed by cell phone and a desktop USB external CD/DVD drive mounted in a USB chassis. It's the Sony DRU - 540A. I tried everything on this forum and it does not work.

  I copied the I386 folder in the C: / once I'd fdisk and formatted it and when windows was running from the CD it came to try to find the asms file. When I run the Portege R100 Recovery Bootdisk V1.1.zip he can see my Cd/DVD drive however the virtual D: it creates, causing the PC to freeze when I run Windows NT.

  Please help because it's pretty darn painful!

  Thanks Brendan

  Why would you copy the files from the CD to your HARD drive? To install an operating system, in your case Windows XP just boot from the CD and follow the instructions given by the installation routine.

  You can change the priority of booting into the BIOS settings, or by pressing the C key laptop start upward.
