Satellite P100 - 115 ACPI problems on Linux

I have a P100-115 (United States is P105 -?) with geforce 7600. I tried to install suse 10.1. Everything was fine, but after awhile, I noticed a strange thing. The main vent only lights when 65 ° C is reached and the vent on the side left (graphics card) lights never. Then I checked the temperature through Nvidia driver and to my surprise, there were 85 C. So I have concluded that the fan control does not work.

The main fan light probably because of thermal protection in portable computer because I tried to play with trip points and there was no effect. Now I have to run suse with acpi = off switch because it makes the fan runs all the time. But you can imagine how annoying, this can be. I s there is another user who uses linux unde P100 and P105 and his control of the fan works?

Has anyone tried to play with the table DSDT of ACPI at?

Hello

Well, as much as I know that the Linux Suse 10.1 is a beta version and in my opinion some bugs may appear.
I have read that many people have problems with Suse 10.1 installation or operation of this Linux distribution.
I recommend you to visit the official site of support of Suse for more details.
In addition, you can try to install an early version on Suse or you use a different linux distribution.

    Hello, Lukas

    You did the right thing and tested it with the external monitor. There is evidence that the display is faulty and must be replaced. It has nothing with the help of the ADB. Such a thing just happens.

    Sorry, buddy, but there are two solutions, either Exchange the screen or use it with external monitor. :(

    Concerning

    Laurent

    I guess you have an its installed realtek card. If so, then go to www.realtek.com.tw, download the latest driver for Realtek HD audio and install the driver after removing the sounddrivers of Toshiba.

    After that, you should also have a control panel that is accessible trough the "Control Panel".
    Here, you can set all the settings on your sound card.

  • WLan Satellite P100 - 105L connection problems:

    I have the following problem.

    Satellite P100-105 notes, with XP home. All drivers up to date, connection via WiFi.
    When I connect to the internet using IE7, IE6, Mozilla, Opera a few times I just message "waiting for response from...» "in the status bar and the page not to load not.
    If I update its ok, or to certain pages it won't work even if I update (usually on the typo 3 saving a document).

    1. I have no virus, no Trojan.
    2. try with IE without addons, allso with IE when I was in "safe mode" XP.
    3 downloaded the latest WIFI drivers, latest version of the bios.
    4. when I try on other notes of toshiba, another model with win vista on IE7, it works normally. Allso when I download huge files, its ok.
    5. do you have legal and up to date windows XP with Service Pack 2

    so, I can say 4 things:
    1. it's not caused by signal,
    2. his sweet independent navigation.
    3. it may not be caused by HW error, if he would, large downloads/uploads will fail
    4 any other software, it is stored in the normal state, its not the cause.

    SOMEONE HELPPP

    sound very, very boring.

    > When I connect to the internet using IE7, IE6, Mozilla, Opera, a few times I just message "waiting for response from...» "in the status bar, and the page does not load.

    You said sometimes? So I guess he can't every time while you use the WiFi network.

    > 4. When I try it on other notes of Toshiba, another model with win vista on IE7, it works normally. Also when I download huge files, its ok.
    The two laptops use the same WLan card? If this is while there may be a compatibility problem between the router and the wireless network card

    But generally it is not easy to say what could be the problem. Have you checked the same message is displayed using the LAN cable?
    Check it!

    Hello..

    I have a Toshiba P100-187 with no warranty on it, so I'm in a bit of a slump here...

    I'm a technical engineer certified to another company which should be for the stay
    no name...

    The computer starts very well, but theres no picture during the boot or by post... but when it comes to
    Its all fine Windows and theres a nice picture on this subject given that it should be...

    Here is a list of things Ive has accomplished so far.

    Motherboard replaced (twice)
    Replaced the graphics card (twice)
    Update Bios
    Tried with other processors (I have access to several compatible)
    Tried with another RAM (I have access to severel compatible, also tried their single channel in two DIMMs)
    Tried with the new view (again, I have access to several screens compatible with this model)

    I think it is but I'm not quite sure what that maybe the motherboard is stuck in a kind of a demo mode. How ever, I tried to reset the motherboard on the connector JP8.

    Im trying to see if theres any gurus out there with the skills to understand this one cause I absolutely love my p100 (though even his orange) and I want him to live again...

    Have you tried to exchange experiences with the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country?

  • Satellite P100: View the problem of driver on installation of Age of Empires

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a solution to the following problem:
    a / inability to implement "Age of Empire": during installation, the system displays the following message:
    Failed to initialize your videocard check if your driver is compatible with direct sampling.

    b / inability to put in place the latest version of the driver downloaded from NVIDIA (91.28_forceware_winxp2k_international.exe) site

    Hello

    I would also try to first install the latest version of the directX application. I think the latest version is 9 c.
    In addition, I would like to say a few words on the graphics drivers. The fact is that driver graphic Toshiba are not similar with the original graphics drivers from the card making. The graphics driver Toshiba supports protection against overheating, because the laptop card has no clean cooling module. The pilot controls the performance of the graphics card and decreases performance and speed if the temperature rises to a higher level.
    In this case, it s advisable to use only the drivers of Toshiba, because other drivers can damage the card.

  • How to change keyboard on Satellite P100?

    Hello
    Yesterday, I had an accident: spilt Coke all over my satellite p100-115.
    Now my keyboard sticks to many buttons. I wanted to clean up. The first button, I've pulled out was RET. But now I can't it again.
    Is there anyone who could explain to me how to get out in it the right way?
    Or: Is there a way to change the keyboard? If Yes: how much is a new keyboard?

    And are there Tips how to clean my keyboard shortcuts? They are also sticky. :/

    Tobi

    Hello

    Unique key replacement help much. The entire keyboard needs to be replaced. Like Stefan said please contact partner in your country. You can try to exchange it alone but you will lose the warranty.

    I recommend you to make a call and ask how much the replacement will be fresh.
    In any case, the keyboard is set with 6 screws and placed undercover KBD, but is not easy to remove this cover. It is fixed with a screw and I don t know exactly where this screw is placed.

  • Crackle sound windows on Satellite P100

    I have a Satellite P100 and keep problems with the sound, I frequently get crackles of sound effects to Windows, and recently the speakers stopped working for a few moments, then came back. When I tried to turn the volume up I could not access the speaker controls as it said that there is no active device.

    Has anyone else had this problem or has a solution. ?

    Found an interesting thread about crackling noise on the P100 and as the user TDC , said that the audio driver should be updated.
    BUT: Before installing the audio driver updated to at least the BIOS version 2.10 or higher must be installed on the laptop.
    Be careful with the update of the BIOS. Choose the good BIOS and the right update procedure

  • Can not turn on my Satellite P100

    Today my Satellite P100-115 off itself shortly after that I turned it on for the third time. I don't see the Toshiba logo at the beginning, in fact, the screen was all black. He died without making sounds or noises. I tried twice and then I took a DVD of data from the disk and it starts fine except that the time of Windows has been set back to January 2006, 00:00.

    Moreover, it was in hibernation. The battery was at and it was plugged too like others, it happened twice.
    What can be wrong? Should I go to the service before my motherboard says bye bye to me for good?

    Hello

    Remove the battery, connect the AC adapter and try to restart your laptop. If departure will successfully get into the BIOS settings and set data and time again. If everything works well boot OS and after 10 min, insert the battery again. Please let us know what happen when you try to do.

  • Satellite P100-120 overheating running Linux Ubuntu 9.10

    Hello world

    I use Ubuntu 9.10 running on a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-120; I have a problem of overheating and the fan never put to cool my laptop.
    Looking around, I found that several models of Toshiba Satellite have the same problem and I found that the only solution work seems to update the DSDT file by exploiting this feature on Linux kernels (kernel argument acpi = off is not a solution).

    The problem is that the current Linux kernel of Ubuntu distributions can't take no more (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/395239).
    Given that this problem seems to affect many models of Toshiba/people, I don't know that Toshiba has corrected it to a patch of BIOS; is there a reliable to tell me how I can find this patch?
    I think that we need a BIOS patch because I tried to read the DSDT and indeed it includes bugs (if compile you it with the compiler Intel as described, you can find them).

    Commands to show bugs:
    sudo cat/proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
    sudo iasl d dsdt.dat
    sudo iasl tcs - a.dsl

    In the case that Toshiba does not provide a patch, can someone suggest me the reasons (I know that Toshiba is not officially compatible with Linux, but today the Linux community should be accompanied by resellers of computers)?

    Thanks in advance

    > In the case Toshiba does not provide a patch...
    That of the problem. Toshiba doesn't support Linux, especially not for this model of laptop, so you have to search solution elsewhere.
    Support Linux costs money, and why do we have if the books are not delivered with Linux.

    In my opinion the best place to find solution or pickup a few tips useful and info is specialized Linux forums and communities.

  • P100-115 linux / gpu question

    Yesterday, I installed suse 10.1 on my P100-115 (T2300, nvidia 7600). Installation went smothly and everything works. But after a while I noticed that the fan on the left side never turns (I guess that's for the graphics card). I thought this nvidia driver will help, so I installed. After that I installed the driver I could see the temperature of the GPU, and it was 85 C I tried a game and he climbed above 90 C. I started to go back to windows and the fan on the left began to blow immediately with a max speed, so I guess it was a little warm inside :). Now, I would like to know if anyone had similar problems on linux (I hope that someone else is using linux). And also I noticed that the rear fan starts running when the CPU temperature reached 65 C. Isn't this a bit high. Anyone know if it is possible to check the temperature of the GPU in windows. I tried a few programs, but they all only to see CPU temp (ACPI)

    Hello

    The nVidia Driver indicates the current temperature in Windows.

  • Satellite P100-478 - blocking down, temperature problem

    Hello world

    There is a year and a month, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-478.

    Everything worked fine until now.
    Now, I have some problems of temperature.

    I tried to play (I know 7300 go are not the best for this), and I checked the temperature with Intel Thermal Analysis Tool (TAT).

    Before playing:
    Core 1 ~ 60
    Core 2 ~ 60
    Temp 33 ACPI thermal zone

    While playing:
    Core 1 ~ 85
    Core 2 ~ 85
    Thermal Zone temp ACPI 33

    So I don't know why he died.

    I restarted the pc, without delay:
    Core 1 ~ 74
    Core 2 ~ 75
    Thermal Zone temp ACPI 70 (what the hell?)

    If I play, if I work (programming), even install windows live messenger yesterday results in a disabling...
    I restored my computer with the CD in my computer Windows Vista is clear...

    Because the security of the computer is over (since 1 month, geez), I changed the radiator composed (hope this is the correct English), but unfortunately this isn't helping.

    The temperature of ACPI, from 30 to 70 after the restart thing it's something strange...

    Anyone have any idea?

    Best regards, Dimitri.

    Unless you have a software problem (take a look at the Windows process monitor to see if CPU 100% active) it is likely that powder is blocking off the coast of radiators.

    I had problems with a Toshiba Satellite 30-135. Fans were running at full speed. Temperature has quickly reached the maximum and the closed laptop. I put the laptop upside down on a table to see the fans and there is powder inside fans, but nothing spectacular. Then I blew my mouth through the gates where the air goes out of the laptop, the copper radiator is behind the gates - * blow air only please *!) : a lot of Red-gray powder came out in a big cloud. To restart the laptop ran silently and never stops again.

    Since then, I use a spray of cleaning the dry air from time to time to blow gently through the gates, and I have more problems.

    Unfortumately I have not used the mobile me and the user got angry and started the laptop several times during the incident, so that the display being damaged: two weeks after the incident, a vertical white line have signed the death of display.

    So be careful!

  • GPU fans to work on Satellite P100-429 (Nvidia) on Linux

    Hello

    I have a P100-429... and managed to get the GPU fan to work. As most of you probably know, we edit the DSDT in order to get its work under Linux (and these laptops). There, another fix that also allows the GPU fan work. Mine seems to be on low-speed all the time and the Nvidia display configuration application now the temp to be less than 50 c most of the time, so before he went up to 75 or more.

    In any case, I've posted my DSDT updated at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/edit.php?manufacturer=Toshiba&name=Satellite+P100-429

    NB I use also of the Bios version 3.30.

    I found the solution on the French site, I had to interpret slightly.
