• Portege R100: WLAN does not recognize the network

  I have a 2 year old Toshiba R100 Notebook.
  It has a wireless adapter:

  Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

  We have tried several times and had technicians trying to connect to our WAP network office. He simply do not recognize the network and we offer all mailboxes menu to connect. It works fine on WEP networks and open.
  Our network is one: -.

  Cisco Linksys Access Point Wireless-G with SRX, model WAP54GX

  It has been suggested that I have buy a wireless card for WAP networks put in the slot of the card.

  Would you agree?

  If so, then that one would you recommend?

  Hello

  It seems that the card supports only WEP encryption and cannot handle WAP encryption that secures the WLan network.
  Fact is that encryption depends on hardware and not software. This means that if the card doesn t supports the Protocol WAP for the update of the driver will not change this situation, but only a replacement card.
  So I agree with you that the replacement card may solve your problem.

  Unfortunately, I can't give you any recommendations because I m not 100% sure what card uses the WAP protocol, but you can order the Wlan card compatible and supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country. AFAIK the guy order the Toshiba parts directly.

• Portege R100 - question about the installation of the USB port and Windows problems

  Hello

  I just bought a used Portege R100, but I have some problems. Of course the laptop isn't a CD or DVD, player so I tried an external DVD drive, but it did not work. What kind of device I have to install Windows (not an edition of recovery or anything like that, but a whole new windows on the formatted HARD drive)?

  I also have another problem: whenever I plug a USB device (I tried the DVD drive external and a USB keyboard) when I start the laptop, it seems to hang. At least, I am not able to type anything more; the keyboard of the laptop is dead (the point where the entrance would still be flashing in the BACK platform, but typing. sth on the keyboard isn't doing anything). It is not normal, is it?

  I also tried to get to the BIOS, but I tried various commands (F1 to F12, DEL etc.), but I couldn't access the BIOS. It would be great if someone could tell me the command for it.

  Thanks in advance for the help and sorry for the bad English, I'm not a native speaker :)

• Portege R100 boots from the HARD drive - lack of operating system

  Hello

  I have a Portege R100 which won't the HD boot, I get the message "missing operating system".
  I don't have a compatible CD or floppy, I just about 1.8 inches for the hd, it works and I also have norton ghost 2003 is installed in another computer (a toshiba satellite A45).

  I tried to recover the drive with the help of norton and the image of the Ghost in the recovery CD, but it keep asking for a password.

  I would like to know if there is a way to use the restore with norton CD and usb driver and password screen (or where I can get the password?).

  Thank you!

  What password do you mean?

  and what recovery CD do you use? The image on the Toshiba Recovery CD is locked and cannot be extracted.

  It turns out that you cannot start or install the OS on the USB key!
  You must boot from the CD/DVD compatible player that can be connected to the PC card slot.

• Portege R100 - boot from the external HARD drive

  I have a Portege R100 and the HARD drive has failed. I installed a new HARD drive and I have the Toshiba recovery disks. I tried to boot from a generic USB CD-ROM but the laptop did not recognize.

  I have a disk of Toshiba USB drive it does not recognize and I have a restore disc but I don't know how from there. Do I have to buy a CD external Toshiba and if so, which?
  Any useful suggestions?

  Hello

  Boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive is not possible.
  You will also be able to boot from USB HDD!

  If you want to boot from the CD, you must use a compatible PCMCIA cards (16-bit and 32-bit Cardbus) CD/DVD drive.

• Cannot retrieve the Portege R100 by using the recovery CD

  I replaced the HARD drive on my R100 not having the original. Thank you to help on the forum, I managed to solve a CDROM with a PCMCIA connector.

  I got through the recovery screen and choose option 1 - retrieve the entire disk. He got a disc of part way through 1 when he did not play a file. I then ran it again, but the selected option 2 - Toshiba Recovery utility and it started and then failed with the error - "cannot open TOSH_REC. COMMITTED AN ERROR."

  Where else?

  Thank you

  Ian

  Hello

  Have you replaced it with all new HARD drive? It's very strange question and if the HARD drive is nine something like that shouldn't happen. You have the FDD to check the HDD with FDISC? Please use the floppy drive and boot the disk to check the new HARD drive.

  Somehow, I feel that there is something wrong with this new HARD drive.

• Install the Mini PCI wireless network card. Need help!

  Hello
  I have laptop Toshiba 5200-701 which is upgradble of wireless network, so I bought the mini PCI card Philips wireless brand. The reference is PH12127-E/PH11107-E and support 802.11a/b/g network address MAC 00 4F 05 43 88 F4.
  When I inserted the card in the laptop it shows new hardware found and then I downloaded website IBM software since I was told that this card is basically designed for laptop IBM, however, my laptop is unable to install the software and still facing problem... so please could someone help.
  Thank you very much.

  Moral salvation

  Well, in my opinion, you bought a bad wireless card. I don t think that your game can works with your device. Before you buy some hardware components, you need to check the compatibility of these parts. Toshiba service partners always have information about the units on the right. However, I found a wireless card that is compatible with your laptop. It's a PA3212U-1MPC.

• Portege R100 stoped working - the power LED flashes error codes

  I have a R100 that has suddenly stopped working.
  The power led (clear amber with the image of the power wire) flashes what appears to be an error code of 5 flashes with a long pause on the last flash, followed by 3 flashes.

  That - what it means, and where can I get a list of all codes error?

  I changed the main battery, changed the spare battery and changed supply - and again, I get the error permanently. I was not able to power the laptop at all since it started. When you press the power button / nothing happens.

  I hope someone on this forum has some information that may help you diagnose this problem. Tech support representatives Toshiba post here?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I m not a R100 owner but to me it looks like a card mother malfunction because you have already tried to exchange the battery and the AC adapter.

  In this case, the best solution would be if you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can consult the specifications and they know what means this code I think.
  Here it s only a user to user forum and I have never seen anyone from Toshiba again.

  Anyway, here you can search for the nearest ASP:

• Portege R100: Question on the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hello

  I understand the internal player on the R100 is an ATA5 (Enhanced IDE), I've only used the IBM (now HGST) readers, they do a decent-sized on ATA6 disc, I guess, it will take the player that will support ATA5 as the controller on the R100 is ATA5 only.

  As for the size, what is the maximum size can I ride in this unit?

  The orginal is 5.4 width x depth x 7.9 height 8 mm. Can I assume all 1.8 inch drive will fot or is it a mine field?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  AFAIK the R100 was delivered with a 30GB and 40GB HDD.
  I found an info that the hard drives are compatible:

  HDD1422: Width (mm) 54.0; Height (mm) 5.0 0.15; Depth (mm) 78.5 0.3
  MK2003GAH: Width: 54.0, height: 8.0, depth: 78.5

• Portege R100 - XP shows constantly the battery icon at 0%

  Hello!

  I have a Portege R100 with just the standard battery. Having bought used, it has been reinstalled with Windows XP and all the drivers of the unit in question and public services. The BIOS has been improved to 1.60 and ACPI common Modules installed.

  The problem is that XP shows constantly 0% battery icon, even if the power supply is on. As far as hardware is concerned, the battery charge and works very well for about 1.75 hours. As far as XP is concerned, there is no battery.

  It's very weird and a bit frustrating! Can anyone maybe shed some light on this and, more specifically, if it is the battery or the charging circuit in the R100 itself? Obviously, one is a * much * more expensive than the other!

  Thanks in advance,

  Sophie.

  Hello

  Have you installed or did you use the Toshiba power saver?
  Usually if the Toshiba Power saver is installed on the Microsoft Windows option doesn t power unit control the battery or the power state.
  Try to reinstall the Toshiba power saver.

• Portege R100 and WUXGA(1920x1200) external LCD display

  I bought Dell 24 inch wide LCD display.

  I thought that my portege R100 can support the resolution 1920 x 1200 because its maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536, but it's not. TT

  Graphics chip is trident cyber xp4.

  I already tried to use software PowerStrip, but it did not work for the chipset graphic trident.

  Is it possible that I can use the resolution of WUXGA(1920x1200) using my portege R100 as regestry change or what ever?

  Hello

  I found the info that 1600 x 1200 is a resolution supported max for Portege R100. As much as I know there no way to change this through any changes to the registry. As you know the performance of the graphics card can not be changed.

• Portege R100 - CPU usage 100%

  Hello!

  Everyone knows about this problem?
  My Portege R100 after installing the new copy of Windows XP and directly after the installation of the display driver, Trident (reboot) bizarre behavior.

  Welcome screen goes white on the lower part (when the first yellow line is). Then I have some software problems.

  When to start records search engine, when I update the list of wireless networks and I explore the files by clicking on 'My computer', (this does not happen when I right click on START and 'Explore') displays CPU usage 100% and everything is so slow that I can barely move a cursor.

  Everything goes back to normal once I closed above applications.
  I can install all drivers and all right, but after Trident display it is bad.

  This is the driver I use since I bought the laptop, I do not know that is fine.
  I installed it several times before and I have a few copies of it, which I've already tried so it must be good.

  The cross thing only my mind is a hardware failure.
  Someone of you knows than before?

  Thank you...

  It has nothing to do with your computer - this is the trident driver problem - there is a work - around
  Try changing your display configuration-

  (1) right click on your mouse to the desktop to bring up the display property, and then click Advanced - here, you will see a tab say somethng like 'graphic acceleration.
  (2) reduce the rate of acceleration - move the tab to the left - make sure it is not full
  (3) this trident driver can cause the BONE to redraw the screen whenever you move your mouse with some applications

  If my post is not detail for you
  Try google with the keyword "how to turn off the graphics acceleration in windows xp" - you will get some good instructions

  That will solve your problem!

  Good luck and enjoy your nice laptop!

  Hello

  Foobar2000 is unknown to me and have no experience with this tool, but it is clear to me.
  You said that the CPU goes up to 100% when running this tool.

  Well, this tool is responsible for the use of the CPU! Why? I put t know.
  Maybe you should contact the manufacture of this software for more details!
