• Satellite 1800-921: antenna integrated behind the screen?

  Can someone tell me if the Satellite 1800-921 has an antenna behind the screen?
  Thank you
  Peter

  I guess you mean a kind of antenna? As far as I know behind the screen is placed antenna WLAN for supported models with WLAN connectivity.

  I wasn't able to find info on Satellite 1800-921, but if the unit is supplied without WIFI I guess that there is no WLAN antenna behind the screen. By the way: I believe that the Satellite 1800 series is delivered without a WLAN option.

  Hello

  Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
  This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

  By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  Oh the laptop supports max 512 MB and that's why you can use modules of 2 x 256 MB max.

• On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

  Hello
  My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
  It's a bit worrying!
  Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
  Thank you
  Nancy :)

  Hello

  to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

  To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

• Satellite 1800-921-Maximum extension

  I have a 1800-921 Satellite running Windows XP. It starts and works fine, but as soon as I put the antivirus software on it slows down to a crawl. I want to improve its performance, but have the recommended Maximum 512 MB system memory. Can I wear this in any way to make the laptop run faster?

  The hard drive has been defragmented and 8 of it is 20 GB free.

  Is there anything else I can do?

  It will be interesting to know what antivirus you have installed on your machine.
  In my opinion the best anti-virus is AVIRA antivir. He doesn't need a lot of resources and works perfectly on Windows XP Home edition.

  Back to your question.
  I know for sure that the Satellite 1800-911 can be upgraded up to 1 GB of RAM, so I think that your Satellite can be upgraded to 1 GB.

• Satellite 1800-700 someone updated for windows XP?

  I want to upgrade to XP so that I can use my ipod software. Has anyone tried this before? If so, were there problems?

  Hello

  Satellite 1800 is pre-installed with Windows ME, but on the download from Toshiba site you can find a lot of drivers for Windows XP Home edition operating system. In my opinion, it should work without any problems. Check it please on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com topic support & downloads. It is possible that there are some problems after installing SP2.

• Battery not recognized or carried by Satellite 1800-921

  Hello

  My S1800-921 not recognize battery at all or load it. Any lights in the small LED on the battery. I charged the battery manually and it gives 13.5 Volts is very healthy. In addition, the same battery works beautifully on another laptop more old.

  If the battery is OK without a doubt. I opened the laptop and tested it with a multimeter. I found that 13.5 volts are present on the multiple the card connector from the battery to the motherboard. The laptop runs normally with alternating current.

  Another strange thing is the following:
  If I monitor the status of the battery on the screen and press the hard battery it shows 3% charge on the battery for about 1/4 of a second then replaced by "battery does not exist.

  What is your opinion?
  Is it a hardware fault or software?
  Everyone knows something similar?
  It is hopeless, or can do something about it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  From your description, I suspect a faulty connector or damaged when the battery plugs into the laptop. Look closely at link plate to make sure that they are not bent or damaged.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 1800-921: how to reset a messed machine?

  Hello
  I made the stupid mistake of deleting files and programs on my laptop, trying to create more space (I finally got an external hard drive), but I messed up my machine now.
  I tried to reinstall the Toshiba programs using the tools & utilities cd but I have programs. For example when I try to reinstall WinDVD program I get the error message-

  ' C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe. C:\WINDOWS\system32\autoexec. NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS or Microdoft Windows applications.' and then a

  "Serious error" message, then a message saying

  "It's not a qualified Toshiba Machine" !

  What have I done? I tried "System Restore", but there is no system restore point on my computer that I can come back.
  Can someone tell me how I can clear my computer and start over? I think that this will be the only way.

  Any help would be really appreciated.
  Thank you
  Nikki

  Dear Nikki

  Who knows what that you remove your laptop and I really believe that the best solution is to preinstall once again using recovery media. On this way the unit will have adjustments to plant again and runs stabile again. If you n t have much experience with the PC it is not easy to set up this new well.

  If you decide to do this, please, back up all your important data, because the HARD drive will be formatted before the beginning of the procedure of the facilities. If you have two partitions, you can install the OS on a first using the installation in expert mode. If you need more help please write again.

  Just one thing: you can try to visit the site of manufacturer of WinDVD and try to install a demo version if it is available to see if this can be properly installed.

  Hello

  I don t think that a disk cleanup would solve this problem. You can try to clean the lens but I m with skepticism.
  If you want to buy a car, please be careful. You need a compatible player and supported.
  Please see this page:

  Some readers are set to CSEL, master or slave. It is very important that you buy a disk with the right settings.

• 1800-921 Dockingstation / Portreplicator

  Hello
  is a RPF Dockingstation or Portreplicator
  a Satellite 1800-921 available?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Heiko

  AFAIK there is no docking station for this model of laptop. You can use the external USB docking station, but your camera has just USB 1.1 and I believe that it is simply too slow.

• Update the BIOS on a Satellite 1800-314

  Hello

  I have an old Satellite 1800-314 and I want an update of the BIOS. I did an update of the BIOS on my desk, but never on a laptop. Is there someone who could help me with a manual or something else?

  Hi Antoni,

  I also have a Sat 1800-314 and I could explain how to upgrade a BIOS.

  The first step is to find your current version of the BIOS (in the HWsetup or look you in the BIOS, after turning on the power button, press and hold ESC and you will enter the BIOS), then the next step, go to the Toshiba site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, then click on support & downloads and go to the support home page and look if there is available as your latest BIOS version and download it.

  If the preparation is done and you have to extract the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS on a 1.44 MB formatted floppy. Make sure that the PC is connected to the power adapter. Stop, and then turn on the PC. Press and hold the button depending on the layout of the keyboard is located right between the keys Alt Gr and INS pushed until a beep sounds and 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,"will be displayed.

  Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin. When you're prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart", remove the disk and turn off the system and turn it on again to restart the PC.

  BEWARE: Info-BIOS-Ce is only for a SATELLITE 1800 314!

  I found this Information on the following site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the Support home page and click on the Knowledge Base. You will find a very good FAQ of the BIOS that contains all the various procedures of BIOS for Toshiba laptops.
