• Satellite P100-160: cooling fan comes loudly for 1-2 seconds every 30 seconds

  I have Vista and I tried everything.
  I set the thermal control mode in the BIOS to "Silent" (although sometimes I look in the BIOS and it is up to the performance). I have disabled Aero, changed the minimum and maximum processor speed etc..

  The irregular, loud fan noise leads me into the wall! I'd rather work permamnently at volume slightly harder than that! The laptop is great, but if someone said "I'll give you a full refund" I would like a shot - only on this noisy fan irritating each ch. 30 seconds!
  Can anyone help? I suspect not - I suspect Toshiba needs to work on its drivers and maybe a BIOS update. I kind of feel that I am at the edge "bleeding" here with this purchase. I have other problems too that I'll post separately.

  Hi David

  I'm sure that any comment as if it was normal will be good enough for you, but there is really not much to do. You can try to play with the power settings and see if something will be better.

  Two weeks ago, I did some experiments with P100 and I installed my Vista with the necessary drivers and tools only. I was positive surprised how Vista works now. If possible, remove all the stuff that you don't need. The fact is that much preinstalled stuff running in the background and force CPU to work under pressure. I really don't see another solution at the moment.

  In my opinion it has nothing to do with the drivers, but perhaps with BIOS. We'll see if Toshiba will offer soon new updates to the BIOS.

• Games on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  Can you tell me if the Satellite P100-160 is a good machine for games?

  Thank you

  TREV

  Why not; Satellite P100-160 supports Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) T5200 1.6GHz CPU, 17 inch screen and 100 GB HARD disk.
  BUT it uses only an Intel 945GM 128 MB shared memory graphics card.
  I think the older games will work, but you can only dream if you want to play games like Doom3 or another generation with a maximum yield games!

  I m also a hardcore gamer and I would use only the desktop PC with new graphics cards to play games. Desktop PC are easier to upgrade and you have no problems with graphics cards drivers ;)

• Question about the update of value added for the Satellite P100-160 package

  Hello

  I got an email off the coast of Toshiba today telling me there is a value added package update available (PVAT (v1.0.25).
  I downloaded and unpacked. It contains three options:
  2 don't buttons, button 6, no button but there is no readme etc to tell me which version is my P100-160.

  I have added, trying to install one of them gives me an error that it has already installed older versions that should be deleted everything first.

  Can someone advise please that I should use?
  Thank you!

  Hi guys

  Value added package contains many different Toshiba and utility tools!
  Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAA series! So, you should always choose this series if you want to download the drivers from the Toshiba page!
  This number can be checked on the bottom of the unit.

  I visited the page of the Toshiba driver and checked the details.
  You will find an info that this package installs a range of important public services.
  -TOSHIBA components common Driver: this module is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
  -TOSHIBA Power Saver: The energy saver controls energy by opting for optimal power settings, if the machine is connected or battery-based knowledge and based on the remaining battery power.
  -TOSHIBA utility: this program allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel, and select Configuration HW TOSHIBA icon.
  -TOSHIBA password utility: this utility allows you to set a password that restricts access to the computer.
  -TOSHIBA Flash Cards: This utility provides the Hotkey function and the function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.
  -TOSHIBA PC Di

  In my opinion, if you want to update the package of value added, you must remove all the tools of this and after new reboot you must install it again

• Docking for Satellite P100-160

  I am struggling to find how compatible with my Satellite P100-160 docking station.
  What they do a?
  Could I use any docking station?
  Where can I get a (or even at all)?

  Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm kinda a thickie when it comes to this sort of thing.

  Any help appreciated

  Your phone model does not support a docking station. But you can use of external ports like Dynadock replicators.
  This beautiful little thing should meet your needs. Give it a try if you need to port extensions or something like that.

  Of course, you can use any other USB port replicator if you wish.

• Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello

  I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
  Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

  Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
  I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

  http://www.dabs.com/ProductList.aspx?&NavigationKey=11154&NavigationKe y = 50540 & key = 40970000 & CategorySelectedId = 11154 & PageMode = 1

  Hello

  I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
  I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

  Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Satellite P100-160 - several PCI bus do not work with a shadow video BIOS

  Hello

  I got my Satellite P100-160 for about five years now and have never had any problems like this before.
  A few weeks ago my system did not (or something like that), so I pressed the power down button to turn it off.
  Then, as he was put on, he seemed to freeze on the loading page and so I held the off button again.

  The present results are when I turn it on, I get a screen telling me several bus PCI etc do not work and he says 'video occult BIOS.
  I then have the option to press F1 to resume or F2 to enter setup.

  In addition, one of my USB slots has completely stopped working and my card slot has also stopped working.
  Can someone help me please? I'm on Windows XP, SP2.

  See you soon,.
  Liam

  Hello

  I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
  Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
  Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
  Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.

  If this will not help and you still want to not be able to start a view, then a system recovery may be the best option for you

• Satellite P100-160 - screen Vertical burst

  Satellite P100-160 my son has developed a fault on the screen that no one seems able to identify the cause of.

  If you imagine that the screen is divided into six equal vertical columns about 3 inches wide, the third vibrates from top down so that the image is blurry. Sometimes it stops after an hour - but recently it just keeps going. The other "columns" are very good. What is the screen itself (easily replaceable), or the video card (on the motherboard) or another component such as the inverter?
  For now I'm not sure if scrap it and buy a new one or replace the screen.

  Any ideas?

  Hey,.

  I think that the best way to address this issue must connect to an external monitor to your laptop. If you notice the same problem on external monitor the problem is related to the graphics card itself. If the display is faulty and must be replaced.

  Then connect an external monitor and check what's happening!

• Satellite P100-160 (PSPAAE-01D00UEN) - upgrade processor

  I currently have a Satellite P100-160 part number: PSPAAE-01D00UEN. Is it possible to upgrade the processor in this machine, I find it very slow in the graphics work I do.

  Any other suggestions as to speed up the machine would be greatly received.

  Thank you

  Ian

  Hi IanGreen,

  A CPU upgrade is not possible, or let s say not supported. All that is supported is the preinstalled Toshiba CPU. If you want another CPU, sometimes at your own risk. Probably the motherboard, BIOS or chipset is not able to handle this or the cooling module is not good enough for faster CPU

  Anyway, your laptop is not the most recent, and if you need more performance, you should look for a new model ;)

• Satellite P100-160 - system does not boot

  Hi all

  I was hoping someone may be able to help me with a problem I have with my Satellite P100-160.
  I was using it the other night without power connected when my battery ran out and he stopped.
  When I reconnected the power and it works I got the usual message asking if I wanted to start as normal I did.
  To do this i Gets the icon in the lower right corner telling me the system was trying to install a new mass storage device driver.

  He couldn't find it and I haven't added or removed something in my system.
  When I stopped and went to the re - start the next time, I received a message on the start screen in the sense of:
  error
  conflict of resources - controllers USB bus pci motherboard bus: 0a, device: function 04:01

  error
  resource conflict - controller mass storage of the pci on motherboard bus: 0a, device 04 function 02

  error
  resources - bus pci motherboard conflict: 0a, device: 04, function 03

  Press F1 to resume F2 to Setup

  I cannot go into the installer, but if I take the system just hangs and stop all the hard disk activity. I have managed to do successfully start once but no more, can't get into safe mode or anything. When I have it at my local computer store the guy he looked the error and said: it's broken, the motherboard has gone and there is nothing I can do with it. Im very disappointed that the laptop is only 2 years old and I would have thought that it would last longer than that.

  So my question s are the right guys, it's broken or is there something that can be done with it? If it is broken I can access the contents of my hard drive with another laptop (the guy from the store said something on to using a hard disk enclosure and use it as an external hard drive?)

  Thanks in advance for any advice

  Hello

  It seems that the motherboard is affected
  In the message error - bus motherboard pci resource conflict: 0a, device: 04, function 03 the motherboard is mentioned, so everything looks like motherboard failure.
  But to be 100% sure you should ask the authorized Toshiba service provider of the opinion.

  Good luck

• Satellite P100-160, not compatible with the latest games graphics card

  My laptop is the Satellite P100-160, which has a 945GM Express chipset is not able to play the latest games. I understand that the graphic card cannot be replaced. So, which eliminates this option...

  Recently, another solution I've heard of is an external graphics such as the Asus XG station...
  http://www.Trustedreviews.com/graphics/News/2007/01/15/ASUS-makes-first-external-laptop-graphics-card/P1
  either this...
  http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20070611/MSI-luxium-offers-external-graphics-solution-for-notebooks/

  However these devices large need an express card slot, which I'm not sure that this laptop has even?

  If it's not there ways to add to my laptop? And if not, what other options are available to me that may help my laptop to face the latest games?

  Thank you

  Richard

  Hello

  The Intel graphics card is simply not powerful enough to handle the latest PC games.
  You think so, why all the hardcore gamer don t buy computers laptops, but during the CPU clock and buy new graphics for PC s Office cards?

  The laptop is not comparable with the desktop PC. It's just different technology according to the limitations of hardware upgrade on your laptop, you can spend only the HARD drive and RAM.
  You cannot add also all other ports for laptop. It is not possible :(

• Questions about changing OS from Vista to XP on Satellite P100-160

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me... I don't like Windows Vista with a passion and I would much change for Windows XP.

  My P100-160 provided with Windows Vista pre-installed, but until now I feel of it is poor to say the least! So I'd like to return the easy to use Windows XP.

  Could you get it someone please let me know if there is something special I have to do in order to get XP to run properly. I've been reading through some of the questions on the forums on this topic, but want a nice simple step 1, step 2, etc. to ensure that I do the things first.

  Thanks in advance for any assistance received.

  Best regards

  Yvonne

  Hello

  You need description step by step? Come on man :)

  Do everything simply if you want to install the XP. During the installation of XP, you will need to format the HARD disk, partition to install XP on the laptop.
  Then, after the installation of the OS, you could install the drivers of Toshiba which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

  Please note that you need XP compatible drivers! As far as I know that the Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAAE series. So please choose this one if you download the drivers.

  In addition, you will need to install drivers in the correct order. Placed on the Toshiba page installation instructions could be very useful!

  Best regards

  Goodbye ;)
