Problems of its Tecra 9100

I have reviewed all 54 pages of messages of the Forum TE and Tecra here and found only one that relates directly to the issue I'm having. He titled "Tecra 9100 major sound issues" and has been locked, unaswered with the last post on 21 July with some response on the use of a new pilot.

http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13809

I recently bought two used Tecra 9100 (guarantee is expired, unfortunately) and they are both in great shape. I couldn't be happier with them, but alas, the sound came out on one. I checked through all the General solutions, Device Manager, reinstall drivers, purchase new sound card on eBay, test with a sound card in the other system of work...

I tested the drive with a 16 MB SD card and a 1 GB card, of which none were detected (even though I updated the driver for that also).

Installing the driver for the card his Yamaha returns a warning message telling me that "the driver has been installed not."

I cleaned all contacts with alcohol and q-tips several times.

There is no device not recognized in Device Manager.
The OS is a new installation.
The BIOS is updated to the latest version (ver 1.60).

If there is someone tha can you please help me to diagnose more this problem I would be very grateful.
Thanks to a bouquet.

Hello

According to your link that you have posted, the detachment was answered.
The noise problem was caused by the installation of SP1.
However, you have bought a second hand units and changed the cards his etc.
Sorry, but no one knows what you have done on your laptop.
I found that this unit has been delivered with a YAMAHA YMF753 sound chip.

In addition, the SD card slot supports are not all sizes of SD card.
Additional it doesn t support MMC and SD-card/o

That's all. I tried to uninstall, restart, fully updated Windows, even by the restoration of the system from the CD that came with the laptop... nothing works! Argh!

    Hello

    a friend of mine apperantely has some problems with its Tecra 9100 and he asked me if I could help him. Maybe some of you guys know what this could be... I'll post his original comments to e-mail on the situation:

    "When I start the computer it keeps restart indefinitely, it is not answered none of F8 and do not accept any CD I get into the BIOS and ask from CD, but without success.

    "I went into the BIOS and something and now he told me

    Thank you
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,.

    The message that appears during the startup process, which would indicate that is the boot sequence is incorrect and the laptop tries to start from a lan device, or there is a problem with access to a HARD drive or bootable CD.

    I first try to access the BIOS boot screen (press ESC as soon as appears the screen flash Toshiba) and check that the initial MESSAGE is successful, then access the BIOS (F2) Setup and carefully check all the settings to ensure they are compatible with the laptop.

    Finally, I would like to check the boot sequence so that CD-ROM followed by HARD drive as the first two points. (You can of course put HDD first, I prefer just CD first me).

  • Hi speed USB via a Port Replicator advanced for a Tecra 9100?

    I have the same problem with a Tecra 9100 and upgrade to hi speed USB as a previous post where the proposed solution was to use a PCMCIA card.

    (see link: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=24103)

    I had an idea, but I don't know if it will work and need some advice?

    Can you buy an Advanced Port Replicator that has Hi Speed USB 2.0 ports on it (like the PA3082U APR II that works with the Tecra 9100) instead of the PCMCIA card.

    If the docks of Port Replicator in the motherboard will it give you Hi Speed USB 2.0, or is the Tecra 9100 forced to USB 1.1 via hardware in the laptop itself and the Replicator will not help?

    Also if I go down the road of Port Replicator I need drivers for speed ports Hi of the Replicator to work on the Tecra 9100?

    Or to ask the question – what is the PCMIA USB 2.0 card in that advanced with HI Port Replicator speeed USB is not?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    the Tecra 9100 has NO usb 2.0 and it's a fact. Given that the Replicator has these USB ports 2.0 does not mean that your machine when it is docked to the Portrep, is able to manage USB 2.0 devices. The portrep, it's like a usb hub and behaves like. So if your machine doesn´t have it then that's it.

    And the explanation on the PCMCIA/Cardbus solution:
    The pcmcia card USB 2.0 Chipset, this is the reason why it IS a USB 2.0 device (roothub).

    I hope this was clear to you :)

    Just buy this card and you will have USB 2.0

  • Tecra 9100: Jumpy cursor and scrolling are not smooth.

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Tecra 9100 that after moving my cursor for a few seconds, he rushes toward what direction I pointing me. It's very annoying. As well as this, when I the scrolling is not smooth at all, but as the slider, he "jumps." So when I try to scroll down a page that I have to be careful because he could jump right down! Thought I should also mention that drag Windows is too jumpy.

    I'm almost certain that these three problems are all related to each other.

    Before, my laptop was good with any of the above problems. It was until the error messages say "delayed write failed" popped up unexpectedly. Those errors, which I found to be associated with the hardrive does not properly.

    Optimisticly, I formatted C drive and put on a new installation of Windows to see if that would solve my problem. Surely, he would do?... Nope. How I download the driver of my laptop MouseWare comes with?... Still does not solve the problem.

    I run out of ideas and do not think that my problem will be solved by a software update. I think it's to do with my hardware (namely talk, hard drives). I have 2 hard drives. Either way, the error messages "delayed write failed" appears on both my hard drives.

    Answer please, thank you.

  • Tecra 9100 + external keyboard

    Hello
    I have a problem with a Tecra 9100. I want to use with a docking station and external mouse & keyboard.
    The keyboard does not work, if I put it in the docking station, but the mouse is not serious.
    I've changed some options in the bios, the keyboard works... after reboot it does not.
    so I always have to go into bios, first of all, if I want to use the keyboard. But strangely, that I don't change something in biso, just the join and the left, that works for keyboard.

    Get an idea what I could do?

    Paul

    Hi paul

    It is very interesting. Can you please explain what needs to be changed in the BIOS settings?

  • Wireless LAN on Tecra 9100 evil: card not recognized or system crashes

    I have a little problem with my tecra 9100. When I want to use my wireless network, it works sometimes and sometimes the pc does not even see the map. but when it works for awhile, then the complete system crashes! and I have to reset the tecra. now I use an external wireless (3com) and features a large, but what can be the problem?

    Hello

    Without accurate control for laptop, we can just speculate what may be the problem. If sometimes the WLAN card is not visible to the system, I guess there is a contact problem and system has no contact to the card and card cannot be detected at all.

    When it blocks for laptop may be due to loss of contact on the map. In my view the contact on the motherboard must be verified by the service. If you don't want to just use the external solution and take advantage of the WLAN functionality.

  • Tecra 9100 - problem BIOS update/restore

    Hi all:

    A few days ago, I (declining misguidely) tried to update the BIOS on my Tecra 9100. Now on startup I get the message "BIOS (Block1) is damaged! (Call the repairman). Technician: Place the maintenance disk in the drive and press any key when ready "." I tried to restore the BIOS by following the instructions on the web page of the BIOS (traditional method using a USB FDD) driver - put on with the key immediately to the left of the SPACEBAR key leads to the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward. "The disk is regularly consulted and the laptop will beep every 10 seconds for a period of a few minutes. Then it stops, but should be repeated after any key is pressed. There is however, no change in the information in the form and no result just possible restart in the same error message on the BIOS damaged.

    Anyone can shed some light on what might be happening here? I'm afraid that I maybe should I follow a few instructions on the screen (as the instructions for the update of the BIOS suggest) that I do not see that the screen is not active? So I can't hit the correct answers when required. Should I really the military and its maintenance diskette? Is this disk available anywhere if I can do it myself?

    Any help or suggestions that anyone can give on this subject would be much appreciated - I don't want to go hunting a new motherboard unless it is absolutely necessary.

    Cheers, Chris.

    Hello Chris

    I am not a technician, but according to your assignment, I'm sure that your BIOS chip is damaged. I'm afraid of nothing that you can do everything alone. I recommend you call and explain the situation.

    I'm really skeptical you will find these special tools online.

  • Tecra 9100 wireless network problem

    I'll have a chance by putting my Tecra 9100 with my home wireless network. The network seems to work very well. My other laptop connects to it without any problems and I can connect the Tecra with the ethernet cable. But the wireless connection, it cannot be successfully established by the Tecra.

    She claims to be connected, but he receives no package, and could get no internet connectivity. When I try to 'fix' the connection, it sits there for a while before telling me that the IP address may not be renewed.

    I managed to connect the Tecra to the network of the next door without penalty, which suggests that there is some kind of problem with our network interface. I tried to reproduce the exact settings from my other laptop, so I don't understand what the problem is.

    Any idea would be appreciated with gratitude!

    Hello

    It's really not easy to say what is happening here. The functionality of the laptop is ok and it's very confusing if it works with other local wireless networks.

    I recommend putting your access point to the factory without some specific parameters settings and try to connect it.

    Sorry, but I don? have another idea.

  • Tecra 9100 - BIOS block 1 damaged and the update of the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have an old Tecra 9100 with years of quality service, and it is my first problem, but is a great, after a forced restart the display shows the message BIOS 1 damaged block. I tried to fix the BIOS upgrade to the latest version I found, the 1.6 one, but it is a version of Windows (to upgrade a Toshiba computer I think) and when I try to run it in another computer to generate a floppy and upgrade the BIOS drive, I can't, because a common message from modules of Toshiba.

    Its there any floppy BIOS image - archive I can download to perform the BIOS update the BIOS?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    All you can find is stuff on the Toshiba support page. I don't know where you live, but try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
    They have access to the database of Toshiba and they can get it for you. Call and ask for help. I'm sure they will help you fix this BIOS.

  • Customer password-Toshiba Tecra 9100 Setup

    Hello:

    On the page to access this forum is reported that if the user is logged on the Club, among other things, will receive the password if necessary.

    I am really very disappointed with the service that it provides to its customers and Toshiba but I am about to buy a new one, I have serious doubts have emerged whether he should opt for a Toshiba.

    If anyone can help me write in Spanish, my post is [email protected] address

    Hello Siegen

    I am very interested to understand your problem and try to help but I really didn t understand your problem. Of course, my English isn't the best, but I hope you can clearly explain what you want to know about this old notebook.

    BIOS password has this oldie and now, you don't have access to it now?
    Is your laptop or you bought one?
    Here you can ask what you want and I'm sure that you can chat with other owners of Toshiba laptops on your problems.

    I have two of them and I am very satisfied. Support and customer service are on the high level. So I'm really interested about your problem and the reasons why you think that the service is not good for you.
    I mean, for each question, there must be a logical explanation.

    I am quite often here and you want to discuss with other people. If the last comment on the propaganda is somewhat strange to me.

  • Tecra 9100 - BONES recovered but still no sound

    Hello world

    I still have problems with the sound on my m T9100 and it seems that other people have the same.

    I bought the laptop with dead mobo then had another to replace and not laid out fresh installation of XP Pro Sp3 and its place and running problem, but no sound.
    After reading the other discussions on the topic, I used my Toshiba Recovery discs and all is well but still no sound.

    I tried to update the drivers for the card his Yamaha but still not good. So I got another sound card and knowing that he s a good.
    I mounted it but guess what no sound, at the moment its running Xp pro but I n t updated all the service packs.

    If I used the recovery disks surely it should work because the way you would a obtained again! I m lost now and don t know what to do.

    If I uninstall Yamaha altogether and restart I get found new hardware audio controller. Can I get found new Yamaha sound device, and then get Yamaha didn't install and could not function.

    Ideas please fly

    Hello

    The problem is that your Yamaha sound card driver does not support the SP1 or SP2.

    You said that you have installed XP Pro and Sp3.
    SP3 can be installed ONLY if SP2 has been installed too so the reason why you n her t get is clear; compatibility issue between the Member States of service packs and pilot of his Yamaha.

    Please see the page of the European driver Toshiba. In the Archive-> Tecra-Tecra-Tecra 9100 > 9xxxx-> driver sound >, you will find two different its XP drivers.

    Try to update!

  • Tecra 9100: Media Test failure - check cable then turns off

    Hello

    I have a Tecra 9100 and I got it at low cost and hoping to make it work for my son to do his homework on but its got a problem.

    First he came without a hard drive (on order) then when I turn it on I get + media test check the cable failure then it stops.
    I ve disabled boot from LAN and set the default Bios and tried to boot from the CD drive that starts to install ok (I know he won t get far because I ve without HARD drive)

    But he died just completely sometimes in the beginning, sometimes at half way.

    One can shed some light on the subject.

    Thanks rob

    Maybe its overheating? Search for dust in the radiator. You can blow the dust using a can of compressed air.

    Also test the memory. You can get memtest www.memtest.org and put it on a floppy disk or a CD.

    It might not b advice to u this problem. Something similar happened to me some time ago when I lent my laptop to my neighbor's daughter. No matter what I did it just would not start. I even updated the BIOS etc nothing works. In the end, I discovered that it was because someone had to drink n eat everywhere on the keyboard. I took part, the keys to clean the base (u should try this step first), it still does not work, ultimately a kind person has donated an old keyboard of its storeroom Office (not hard to replace just delete the band). After replacing...

    It started beautifully...
