• Satellite P100-188: tips on battery charges

  I just bought a Satellite P100-188 and this is my first laptop, it says in the manual "once the battery is fully charged, it is recommended that you use the computer only on battery power until the battery completely discharges.» This prolongs the life of the battery and helps to ensure accurate monitoring of the battery capacity"and"leave the AC adapter plugged in will shorten battery life. At least once a week, power the computer on battery power until the battery is completely discharged and then recharge the battery."

  I was wondering if I should unplug it sector whenever that appears the battery charged? I only need to use the PC on batteries for short periods of time (most of the time I can connect to a power outlet) it would completely remove the battery and running on current alternative alone (even do that?)

  in these moments, I know that the batteries have a finite charge time and I am just a little worried about the procedure to follow if there is place for long battery life, because they can be quite expensive to replace. So it is wise to place the battery on charge when it displays as power by half or a quarter, or should I let it drain completely before recharging?

  I would appreciate some advice from all you seasoned users of laptops out there.

  Hello

  You should treat a battery as if it was in the manual.
  Completely load, use it until it is empty, then charge again.

  Only connect the laptop to power if necessary (means that the battery is empty).

  Good bye

• Satellite P100-188: Upgarded t2400 CPU - t2700

  Hey all,.

  my laptop a Toshiba Satellite P100-188 pspa3e or something, 1.8 duo core centrino t2400 to a yanoh of 2.3 t2700, I disassembled it me equipped with the new processor.

  I've been running it for a week, without any problems with the heat, the fan deos doesn't come not only the last time or anything like that, normal perfectley except faster.

  Anyone do deos I would recommend using the heat of grease on the processor and makesure you wipe off the old grease.

  Can I upgrade my ram too?

  First of all it information great s that you were able to upgrade the processor to a faster, BUT unfortunately; You warranty is no longer valid

  So if something goes wrong turn (in the future), then you will have to pay for the correction!
  If I would be so I wouldn't guarantee

  However, request you the upgrade of RAM?
  Yes, of course it is possible to upgrade the RAM s.

  You can upgrade the RAM to 4 GB max, but I think that is not necessary because the 32-bit Windows will recognize only 3GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS!

  Anyway, the compatible modules are: DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM

• Satellite P100-188 starts after the upgrade of the wireless network card

  I recenty installed a new Intel 5100 Series 512AN_MWW Mini PCI NIC in my Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E database.
  However, when it is installed, he refused to view and start.

  I'm sure (read the technical info) that these cards use the same interface.
  So why it won't work?
  Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed 4.70 and am running Windows Vista.
  I am desperate for this that I already have a project N AP 2.0 and want to use it to its full capabilities.

  Cheers, Rob

  Hello

  If I understand your message you have improved the Interior card WLan Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG 802. 11a / g to Intel 5100 with project support.

  Boyfriend although it seems that you can't use the WLan draft N card in this laptop model.
  Seems such card is not compatible and cause interference.

  As I know the Draft N need of 3-wire antenna the antenna Satellite P100-188 supports 2 wires only and can be used with the 802.11 A, B or G standard.

• Can I upgrade the Nvidia on Satellite P100-188 card?

  Hello

  Having the Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E back to the United Kingdom. It seems now that I have a faulty card of the VGA GF-GO7600-N-A2, which is separated from the motherboard (A000006530), which is good news.

  As I will have to replace it now, can I switch to the best map? I looked through google for replacement for 7600 cards, but have been unable to locate the exact card replacement. I have sent emails to different suppliers in the United Kingdom and now am waiting for answers. Nothing on ebay either right now, outside the chip 7600 Hong Kong, which would mean a soldering job?

  Thanks in advance.

  In General, graphics card can not be updated - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm

  What do you think about possible risks (more heat and so forth)?

• Satellite P100-188: where to get a nVidia sticker?

  Hey everybody. I bought my Satellite P100-188 last Sunday and I must say he realizes a lot in terms of games and General all-around use.

  In any case, inside when you open the lid... I can see on the left, the badge sticker 'Core Duo', higher than is "Vista ready" sticker, but on the extreme right, there is a hack to help nothing stuck on it! If I am not mistaken, the Nvidia badge stickers belongs to this indenting.

  If anyone knows how I can do to get one? I keeps not working machine, but it seems a little weird.

  Thank you

  The first thing I do with a new computer is remove all the hardware popup stickers.
  But, I'm willing to accept offers from potential sponsors for $50 per square centimetre of the surface of "advertising."

• Satellite P100-188 Orange screen casing cracks

  Since the purchase of my Satellite P100-188, I was happy with the way it works, but had to send it the Tech, through PC World guys, because the orange case on the screen continuously develops cracks around the joints of the hinge. I'm about to send it back for a 3rd time and I was wondering if someone else had also encountered this problem?

  Cracks develop in many more large cracks in a relatively short time. I use my laptop on a daily basis, when I get home from work, is not as if it is used throughout the day and after having spent over A £1000 on that I'm not about to start abusing her.

  If someone managed to get a result of Toshiba please get in touch with me?

  Hi Clive

  The same cracks appear on my notebook of s to a friend.
  He simply made contact with the authorized service provider, and the shift has been replaced!

  Why do you want results? I think the free replacement of the cover is a very good solution.
  Simply contact the ASP in your country and you enjoy life B-)

• Satellite P100-188: how to perform the procedure for recovery of the product?

  Hello

  I just had a bit of trouble to install a piece of software that, in the end I could settle with a system restore. This process was worried at the time that I could not get the software uninstalled properly (I had to download a program from the machine to uninstall!)

  At one point, I considered the restoration of my laptop Satellite P100-188 with the product recovery disc, the thing is I never did this before and I was wondering if someone could tell me the best sequence for later use.

  I have a standard Windows Media Center Edition OS, a recovery disk of the product, a disk Express Media Player and a CD of Drivers and tools that I created when I got the laptop.

  I have a feeling telling to restore Express Media Player before Windows, is does that mean that I have to insert this disc, install Express Media Player, then insert recovery disk product to install Windows?

  The Express Media Player disc formats the drive? It's not clear to me and I don't want to run into problems when I finally don't have to reinstall my operating system.

  I searched this forum to see if this information was already posted and could not find all the relevant information, all I can find are problems with the help of recovery and lack of discs discs.

  If it has been posted before could you provide me a link and I'm sorry again calls for data.

  Hello Gary

  If you want to have own OS preinstalled, the best solution is to use supplied recovery media. If the Express media player works well the leave it as it is and use the recovery DVDs only for clean operating system installation. All that s!

  Tools and Utilities CD can be used if you need to reinstall Toshiba designed tools or if you want to install your own operating system by using the facilities of Microsoft CD. If you have any other questions please post again.

• My Sony Vaio model PCG - 61611L Green LED lights up but nothing happens

  When I turn on my Sony Vaio model PCG - 61611L, the Green led lights up, but nothing goes well. The laptop is 2010 and is never abused, so I don't know what happened. It just started this making times and now I can't turn it on at all. Any suggestions?

  shoemanfl,

  It seems that you have no POST issue.  Is it the caplock/numlock light up when you press it?  Did you try to connect to an external monitor to see if it's a matter of display dim?  If this is no a POSITION, try reinstalling the ram or using one at a time... you can also remove the optical drive and hard drive to see if you can start any found nail system.  If you can not always unity would require service...

• Satellite P100-286 with no display after installing drivers

  I reinstalled XP on my 286 P100, as I did a couple of times before and went about installing the XP drivers on the Toshiba site. I was installing video drivers when the screen went black. I assumed it was a regular part of the installation of the video driver, usually the screen goes black for a few seconds, but the screen remained black.

  I tried various commands on keyboard, but nothing has worked. So I restarted the laptop. Now, the display lights at all. I can't even an external monitor to show anything.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey,.

  Can you see photo when you in BIOS mode for example?

  If so, you should try to go into safe mode and remove the display driver. Maybe something was wrong due to the installation of the driver

• Satellite P100-188: low resolution fonts and menus, game

  Hello

  I have a P100-188 and fonts on the office and Internet icons display very well, however the fonts displayed in message boxes look terrible, looks like they are displayed in low resolution, you can see practically every pixel that make up the letters.

  This is really visible with some games I've played, as UFO: Afterlight and supreme commander. The games look good, but the menus for the said games are terrible.

  Nobody else this remark on their machines and is it current with windows and LCD screens?
  This is my first laptop and my desktop computer is old and it uses a CRT monitor that do not show the same symptoms.

  Hello

  Have you changed your display resolution or even use native resolution 1440 x 900?

  AFAIK P100 has excellent 17.0 "TruBrite discovers Wide 16:10 color TFT display and the illustration is really fantastic. Because of that, I'm a little confused about your ad. To make it better to try to change the font size and enlarge the fonts.
