Satellite M100 - is a disabled firewire port saves battery power?

Hey everybody

I'm not so IEEE...
If I disable firewire in Device Manager it will stop it and it will help save the battery?

Hi Dmitrij

I doubt that disabled firewire port will help to save the battery.
If you want to save battery power, you should check the options and settings of Toshiba Power Saver.

Check the HowTO document
+ How to configure my computer for optimal use of battery? +
You can find it in the Forum s box HowTo.

If you are using Vista, then I recommend that you check the Vista power settings.
More details you will find in "HowTo" doc:
+ How to manage Windows Vista power management features? +

See you soon

  • Satellite 1410-604: I lost the screen saver and power management system

    I have a Satellite 1410-604. I lost my screensaver and cannot access the Toshiba power management system: I click and nothing happens. I saw a suggestion to run the system restore. When I go to system restore it says it is running, but is there something more specific that I can do?

    Thank you!

    I put t know what you did with your operating system, but more often if the system restore option enabled, then it shouldn't be a problem to restore the operating system to the beginning
    Simply, start the system restore and choose the starting point that was automatically created.

  • Satellite A100 doesn't detect camcorder connected to the firewire port

    Recently, I upgraded my Satellite A100 for XP Pro SP3.
    In order to capture the video from my camcorder Canon I attached the camera to the 1394 port, but the computer does not detect my camera.

    I have changed the cable, restored the software factory default but the presist still problem.
    The camera works fine with another computer, which means that there is some setting or a hardware problem with 1394 port.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Did you check device manager if the IEEE 1394 (firewire port States) bus host controller has been recognized correctly?
    Are there any yellow exclamation marks?

    Try this workaround:
    -in Device Manager, remove the IEEE 1394 bus host controller
    -restart the laptop
    -Wait that windows reinstalled this controller again
    -Connect the camera and turn it on.

  • Satellite M100-165: energy saver indicates the lifetime of battery only in percentage

    On my M100-165, when using the laptop with the battery, the Toshiba Power Saver does not show the battery time remaining... only the percentage of the battery power.

    How can I change this?

    Hello

    On my laptop, Toshiba power Saver saver also displays time only with percent.
    But I unplugged the laptop AC adapter and the small power supply icon appears in the taskbar. Then I wait until the power goes up to 97-98% and go with my cursor over the icon. The time is then displayed in percent, the hours and minutes.

  • FireWire port on satellite A210-1AS

    Hello

    A simple question, I hope.

    Could someone tell me if the Firewire Port is 4 or 6 pins... I can't find the info anywhere and I need to know what cable to connect my camcorder DV (4 pin), also... What is the meaning of the pines more (or less), would have thought they would be a standard connection, with a fixed amount of pine trees.

    You can tell that I'm not very technical.

    Thank you
    Lee

    All portable Toshiba have 4-pin firewire port.
    Otherwise, if you have the laptop in front of you, you can see which port is available.

  • Satellite M100-180: put wrong password - error now 'system off 65017 '.

    I had technical problems with my Toshiba Satellite M100-180.

    Let me tell you a story.

    I bought my laptop on 13/12/2006 model is Toshiba Satellite M100 - 180 T2600 (2.16) G 1/100; Card mother HAQAA.

    So, a month ago my laptop could not start due to asking me a password. HM... I never put the password on my laptop. So, I had brought my Toshiba at the center of service to this problem. So they tried they couldn't achieve success even if they strap the CMOS_CLR1.

    Triple entering the wrong password my laptop gives this message: "system disabled 65017." So, as my Toshiba warranty is the guy in the service center have offered to replace the motherboard.

    It seems too expensive, given that I could buy another new laptop (okay, it will, no doubt) for that price.
    Really, I don't like this idea, because it's too expensive and I like really my laptop.

    The guys in the service center said my private that, most likely, there is the content of the EEPROM was twisted. And if I'm going to find the same other portable executables, they could use his image from EEPROM to save my Toshiba.
    So, the question is.

    Where to find this EEPROM image that fits my phone or how to solve the problem?

    Please, help me, it's a question of work and success.
    Please, I beg you. I'm really in despair...

    I know you answer.

    Hi mate

    I think the guy meant the ROM module that is part of the motherboard and BIOS there maybe stored such ROM module needs to be replaced and would avoid the replacement of the motherboard
    But this is only my personal opinion

    Maybe you could buy a second-hand M100 where the motherboard is not too bad then just the motherboard could be changed and would not be expensive as new motherboard

  • Satellite M100 Track Pad failure

    I recently performed a 'factory restore' on a Satellite M100 (with Vista Home Basic Edition).

    It was hoped that this process would solve one issue was the recent failure of the functionality of the "pad".
    It doesn't happen if the problem persists.

    The customer is using currently a "Belkin" USB optical mouse instead, and it works without any problem.

    In the BIOS - I couldn't find any settings that can affect the Trackpad.
    Investigation on Device Manager"- no conflict appears and a consistent"HID"device as well as the mouse (which seems to have"captured"a PS/2 port) appears.
    Investigation on the 'Control Panel' - under input devices, the management software for both a mouse AND trackpad are indicated.

    It seems that the 'Trackpad' has been 'disabled' somehow but I can't locate where or how that could be done.

    What Miss me?

    Try to press Fn + F9 to toggle the mouse.

    If its still does not (and considering that you have completed the recovery), and then the Touchpad may be replaced.

  • Satellite M100-165 cannot stop - lights up immediately

    Hi all!

    Here's my problem: whenever I have shutdown or Hibernate my Satellite M100-165, it will light within 5 seconds. Standby does not either - instead of normal going in standby mode (power LED turn orange) it shuts down completely and has the force of will to 5 seconds upwards again and freeze. The computer only lights when plugged into power alternative, with or without a network cable. Wake-on-LAN is disabled. No other event trail is accessible from the menu of the BIOS Setup.

    I tried the system restore to a date before the problem was uccured, I've updated the BIOS, uninstalled and reinstalled Toshiba Power Saver utility, set closing the lid to take no action, scanned with HijackThis and found no suspicious processes.

    The problem started shortly after I installed Motorola Phone Tools (i.e., a driver of USB modem for my mobile phone). I don't know if that could be related but uninstalled/reinstalled the software nothing works.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

  • Lose Satellite M100 PSMA0A time but no date.

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite M100 (PSMA0A-0J4002), who has problems with the hold time. He lost several hours in normal operation (mains or battery power or even with no battery and only AC). It stops when the computer goes into hibernation or is disabled.

    My Windows time zones are correct and I turned off automatic updates of internet time too.
    The strange thing is that the date never changes! It's not 1980 or similar when the battery is removed. That means it's not the CMOS battery?
    I disassembled the laptop looking for the CMOS battery, but it is soldered in. Is this correct?

    I don't know if it's relevant or related, but sometimes the screen turns black after emerging from hibernation and the laptop must be turned off and when he comes back he asked something like: clear memory and reboot or restart.
    I have to choose erase the memory and restart. Very rarely, I also have the blue screen of death with count upwards saying that memory dumping (I think).

    I deleted my firewall and AV programs but still lost time.

    Anyone is able to help please?
    Is it likely to be material, battery CMOS or software?

    Thanks in anticipation!
    Lewis

    > I disassembled the laptop looking for the CMOS battery, but it is soldered in. Is this correct?
    I m not very well how it s mounted on laptop M100, but in many cases the CMOS batteries are not easy to remove it s always a job for technicians of the ASP

    The issue of the date and time may be linked to the CMOS battery
    Usually, you can charge this battery easily.
    In order to load the CMOS battery, the laptop must be connected to the power adapter and the laptop must cover more than 20hours.
    After that the CMOS battery needs to be recharged.

    But if the question seems yet, then you should check if the update of the BIOS might help if not it s a motherboard problem that should be checked by a technician of laptop!

  • Satellite M100-180: where can I find drivers for Win 2003 Server?

    We bought a Microsoft Windows 2003 server. I have install then on our laptop Toshiba Satellite M100-180 PSMA1E-02Q00WRU.

    With the laptop, I found Windows XP CD and Express media player recovery CD Reanimator. No disc drivers there. May be dealer lost drivers disk? If that - where can I get new CD of drivers (I am from Russia, Smolensk)

    I try to download the drivers from the web (toshiba.com.ru), but they are very large (I have a dial-up internet). Then I download driver modem (4M). Installation of the works, but no modem appear after that. And no serial port too.

    I plug the USB-serial converter and install Standart Modem (USR external). Then I have to connect to the internet and try to download the drivers with windows update. No results...

    HEEEEEEELP ME! :)

    PS Sorry for my English :)

    Hello

    : D the dealer nothing lost! The pilot tools & utilities can be created in the Windows XP operating system that came with the laptop.
    With the help of Toshiba, you will find a Protect & Fix tab and the option to create a driver disk ;)

    Further, all the XP drivers are placed on the page of the Toshiba driver. But unfortunately, nothing for Win 2003 server.
    Maybe test it works for XP drivers also on Server 2003

  • Satellite M100-JG2 HotKey and date and time problem

    Hi all

    I'm not very good with computers, and I've had some problems for a while now. My laptop is almost three years, I don't know why I'm writing this after so long but anyway. I think they are called "keys" or "launchkeys", hopeyfully, you know what I mean, but anyway they do no more work. They worked for a while, but they do not work now. I went into the control panel and went into the 'Toshiba' orders and tried to change what does each control, but it still does not work. No one knows how to fix?

    Also, another problem that I had since I first laptop is my date and time are screwed up. If I put my 15:30 time, it works perfectly, until around 16:15, that when he goes back to 15:30 and go all the way up to 16:15 and continues in this cycle until I manually change the time. I had a few friends (no professional) to look at, but can not understand. When I start my laptop I go to settings in the start screen, try to change it was from there, but it keeps going during the cycle. If I click on the time and click on the tab "internet time" and say "update now", it updates, and then only time will work normally, but only until I turn off my laptop. Once I turn it on then next turn, it passes through this new cycle of 45 minutes. If anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix?

    I'm not very good at explaining, but I hope you guys can help! I appreciate it really :) Show!

    The Toshiba Satellite M100. M100-JG2 seems to be a Canadian series laptop. I recommend you to visit the driver Toshiba Canada page and to download and reinstall the tool called controls, Toshiba HotKey Utility, touch and launch.

  • Satellite M100-221 with Win 7 - issue Fn after PVAT site amenities

    Hello

    I installed windows 7 on my toshiba satellite m100-221, with 5.60 bios, I had problems with installing the chipset drivers which I downloaded from the toshiba Web site.
    Finally I downloaded the drivers from the site to intel. I realized that my Fn keys are in operation, but only Fn + ESC, F1, F5, F6, F7.
    So I tried to install PVAT that contains Flash cards.
    Everything seems to work properly, some Flash cards began, I could use them with the mouse, BUT NONE of the Fn keys worked.

    Now, I'll try to uninstall, reinstall, but without success.
    When I disable flash cards at the start that the Fn keys work, when I start it, it seems that Flash Cards takes controll keys Fn and disable them.

    My laptop is able to vista and I also tried to do the same thing with vista, but with the same result, all Fn are disabled when the cards are running.

    It is important for me to use Fn + F8 to switch to the radio wireless and Fn + F4 to Hibernate.

    You have ideas or experience how to fix?

    Thanks for help.

    > So I tried to install PVAT that contains Flash cards

    Win 7 needs the VAP (additional package) and you need to install the additional Flash Card Support utility!
    Win 7 Vientiane does not contain Flash cards! You must install separately.

    Take a look on the Satellite L500 driver area.
    You'll find the VAP and Flash Card Utility for Win7

    I recommend reinstall these two tools again
