Satellite M100 with chipset issues

I bought myself a M100 a month ago and have been happy with it to the point that I decided to extend its capabilities by purchasing a network card wireless with the (so-called) greater range and speed.

My problem is with the windows way initialization handles - it gives me an error Code 10, which is apparently average Microsofts to say no, we cannot give you any more resources to do this.

In addition, I also read that this may be the result of the Intel Centrino chipset. Toshiba wireless (intel) is based on a chipset Atheros, and is so the new device i've got... This is in itself a potential conflict.

My question is - how do I free up resources (or disable the internal Wi - Fi connection) so I can use this new feature? (if it is infact the problem)

Microsoft say they have a "fix" specially for this problem, but you will have to send (IE pay them) to get it. I think that this is unacceptable.

I use:
Satellite M100
D Link DWL-G650M (108 G MIMO Wireless adapter) (PCMCIA)

any input in solving this would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello

M100 is unknown to me, but it should be similar with Satellite A100. You're right about the WiFi card. Initially, the set comes with the Atheros WiFi card supporting the network 802.11ag. This means that you can use the network wireless with 54 MBit per second. As far as I know, this is the latest standard used on the various laptop models.

What WiFi card that you want to use (speed, internal or external)?

  • 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.

  • Question camera & Modem pointing Satellite M100

    I have the Satellite M100 with Vista operating systems. When I changed the operating system a few days ago, there was a lot of drivers that have not yet been installed...
    Then I downloaded & installed the drivers from this site...

    But even now, there are 2 drivers that might not be installed correctly: * POINTANT DEVICE * (I can't use the mouse, but my touch pad works) & * MODEM DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO BUS * (I can not connect to the internet via dial-up modem)

    Any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanx before...

    Pointing device, I think you need to install the chipset drivers and check again, if you have installed any drivers, amenities and followed the installation instructions.

    For Modem device, what you should you ensure you installed KB888111, KB835221. His work?
    Installed all Windows updates?

  • WXP on Satellite M100 - internet connection

    Hello Hello

    I reformatted everything my friends Satellite M100 with XP (he was thrown out because he couldn't make it work) and I decided that I would fix it for another friend s daughter.
    Restructuring went well but I can not all internet to work on it at all. I don't know if I need new drivers or what the case really is. I've never been good working with the networks, but I really want to give it a try because I think it would be a good thing for her to learn to use a computer.

    I tried wired connection through the router and connect to our wireless network but have not had the success that it is. Anyone could offer me some tips as to what the next step?
    I clicked through all of the assistants to network and all that, but nothing seems to work!

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    > In Device Manager in the other devices section all controllers have a yellow question mark (biometric compressor, Ethernet controller, mass storage controller, network controller, PCI controller, SM Bus controller, video controller, VGA compatible video controller).

    There are many pilots lack of boyfriend.
    First of all, I think that you cannot connect to the router because LAN and WLan driver was not preinstalled!
    -Controller Ethernet means WLAN and you need driver WLAN
    -Network controller means LAN and you need driver LAN
    -Video controller and you average graphics card need driver graphics card

  • 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

  • Satellite M100/200 PSMAAA RAM issue and replacement keyboard

    For the last year my satellite M100/200 PSMAAA-022006 worked rather slow, it takes a long time to open programs and sometimes crashes.
    So I intend to make a recovery of the system at the end of the school term.

    Now, I think I have a bit of extra ram, I don't want to have to go deep into my laptop and put it under my keyboard, so I'll just put it in the free space below the friendly place. I don't know what kind of ram it will take care of my system with 512 venus, then would it be appropriate put a 1 GB Stick? I can't find a manual on the Toshiba page so I'm not aware of what my system can handle and what kind of ram I can install myself.

    So the question is. How much ram can I put in and what kind.

    Also months ago I removed some keys to remove hair and lint on my keyboard, those General in the middle of the keyboard were easy to replace but my key "1" would not, so I removed the '2' thinking if I can work on how we worked the other should do the same.

    So now I'm stuck with not one or two keys, which I have now lost. The membrane on my a key ripped off also so now there are just the small piece of circuit showing. I thought that if I can remove the piece of plastic on the keys it might let me get the angle right them suddenly on.

    Should I take my laptop in a repairman and let them sort it out?

    Hello

    You can replace plastic key keyboards plugs, but you will not be able to replace the simple buttons
    So, if the only keyboard button doesn t work, then you need a new keyboard.
    Akuma is right you should get in touch with the ASP to replace!

    The M100 should accept 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB) I googled a little and some were abele to upgrade!

    Pls help.

    Hello

    > The switch turns on only if I plug the laptop
    What you plug in? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?
    If so does that mean you can only start Notepad with AC/DC adapter?

    > When starting, I get a message. Insert the media. So what I do is insert a DVD into the CD drive. The movie will then play. I then turns off the computer and then open it again to windows xp start.
    It's a bit confusing
    When you get the message insert media?
    And why you must restart the laptop to boot XP if you can play a movie before?

    Boyfriend sorry but it's really hard to understand. You should try to explain it in clear words and other phrases.

  • Satellite A300D-11 q issue with wireless network

    Hello!
    My Satellite A300D-11 q has a problem with wireless communication. It has all the necessary drivers for Win XP installed and connects to the wireless router properly. However, if Windows is hibernating or going on stand by, after waking up, the computer seems connected to the router but there is actually no internet and no matter what. It gets only OK after reboot. It's bad enough.

    Can anyone suggest how this can be corrected, if possible at all?

    I use Satellite A300 with WXP and Win7 (dual boot) and I don t have these problems.

    You can use combination of keys FN + F8 after stand-by mode to disable and enable the wireless network adapter check if the WIFI connection will be established?

  • 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 M100-233: stops right after the "XP" logo

    Hello
    I have a Satellite M100-233 with XP Home Edition SP3 (in Portuguese)
    When it is connected to the mains and the battery is not fully charged, sometimes the yellow light does not shine.
    Check the voltmeter application when this happens, tells me that the battery is on, the energy source is the sector, but the battery runs down.
    As I continue to use the laptop, the amount of the battery is reported as progressively less, until he tends to zero, then the laptop just turned off, as if she was not connected to the mains.
    Even if I start with the battery charged to 100%, after a couple of hours (sometimes more, sometimes less) the same thing happens.

    From an authorized dealer, they told me that it was probably a short battery shorted out.

    Get not that: * if she take the battery out of the laptop and turn it on:
    -Most of the time it turns off right after the "XP" logo.
    -It seems that this happens more often when the battery was fully charged the last time that I used it (strange! "I imagine this?)
    -Also sometimes happens after that I use the laptop for a while

    The only unusual bios message I get is "no TPM or TPM has a problem." I guess it has to do with the cryptographic protection, so I imagine that this has nothing to do with this issue.
    About two years ago, there was a problem with the battery (it ceased to be recognized as present by the laptop) which has been repaired under warranty: they told me that they had replaced the motherboard then. However, at this time there that I could continue to work normally without the battery, which is not the case now.

    I would be grateful for any advice. The most annoying is that this problem follows an irregular pattern, and the diagnosis, the dealer gave me seems hard to believe. As I use my laptop to collect data for research abroad, it is quite a risk for me to use it if I can't be sure when it will turn off on its own.

    Hello

    To be honest, I doubt that anyone here in the forum would be able to provide an exactly the answer to this question
    I think that it of almost impossible to say what's wrong without running any hardware checks.

    But to me it looks like a card mother number possibly it s power of electronic power supply which is part of the motherboard.

    What to say, maybe you need a new motherboard, but the new mobo is an expensive item, and in my opinion, you should first check if it is s to replace the motherboard or buy a laptop second hand for the same money.

  • Satellite M100-222: display panel dithering-> high compression like jpg

    I bought Satellite M100-222 2 days. Soon, I saw that solid colors like windows default blue or gray /many of others too / appear strangely - it seems that dirty, grainy, or as strong jpg compression.

    It is not only my opinion. As much as I know that some people who have had the same problem with the Satellite A100 series-, contributed to a bios upgrade. I have the new bios, 2.60 /25.01.2007/ new drivers for ATI x 1400 cards / but it's all the same... Graphics card seems to be ok - external monitor connected to the laptop seems good. So far, no solution.

    What to do with it, what do you think?
    Why is it like that? What's wrong?

    Hello

    I checked the issue described on Satellite M100-188 with TruBrite screen. It is visible on the white and clear areas, but on Start button while that turn off everything is OK.

    I'm really interested about service information, but I'm sure that there are no bugs and according to me, there is not much to do. I know it's much worse on a Satellite phone, and because of this, it has been updated from the BIOS.

    By the way: on my old Tecra M1 with LCD panel normal white background is also not 100% clear. But I must say that TryBrite on Qosmio laptops display is bright and much better than on M100. I really put t know what difference it there but perhaps portable multimedia expencive were simply better display.

    To see what service will say about this.
