• Satellite P100-188: Upgarded t2400 CPU - t2700

  Hey all,.

  my laptop a Toshiba Satellite P100-188 pspa3e or something, 1.8 duo core centrino t2400 to a yanoh of 2.3 t2700, I disassembled it me equipped with the new processor.

  I've been running it for a week, without any problems with the heat, the fan deos doesn't come not only the last time or anything like that, normal perfectley except faster.

  Anyone do deos I would recommend using the heat of grease on the processor and makesure you wipe off the old grease.

  Can I upgrade my ram too?

  First of all it information great s that you were able to upgrade the processor to a faster, BUT unfortunately; You warranty is no longer valid

  So if something goes wrong turn (in the future), then you will have to pay for the correction!
  If I would be so I wouldn't guarantee

  However, request you the upgrade of RAM?
  Yes, of course it is possible to upgrade the RAM s.

  You can upgrade the RAM to 4 GB max, but I think that is not necessary because the 32-bit Windows will recognize only 3GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS!

  Anyway, the compatible modules are: DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM

• Satellite P100-188 starts after the upgrade of the wireless network card

  I recenty installed a new Intel 5100 Series 512AN_MWW Mini PCI NIC in my Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E database.
  However, when it is installed, he refused to view and start.

  I'm sure (read the technical info) that these cards use the same interface.
  So why it won't work?
  Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed 4.70 and am running Windows Vista.
  I am desperate for this that I already have a project N AP 2.0 and want to use it to its full capabilities.

  Cheers, Rob

  Hello

  If I understand your message you have improved the Interior card WLan Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG 802. 11a / g to Intel 5100 with project support.

  Boyfriend although it seems that you can't use the WLan draft N card in this laptop model.
  Seems such card is not compatible and cause interference.

  As I know the Draft N need of 3-wire antenna the antenna Satellite P100-188 supports 2 wires only and can be used with the 802.11 A, B or G standard.

• Can I upgrade the Nvidia on Satellite P100-188 card?

  Hello

  Having the Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E back to the United Kingdom. It seems now that I have a faulty card of the VGA GF-GO7600-N-A2, which is separated from the motherboard (A000006530), which is good news.

  As I will have to replace it now, can I switch to the best map? I looked through google for replacement for 7600 cards, but have been unable to locate the exact card replacement. I have sent emails to different suppliers in the United Kingdom and now am waiting for answers. Nothing on ebay either right now, outside the chip 7600 Hong Kong, which would mean a soldering job?

  Thanks in advance.

  In General, graphics card can not be updated - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm

  What do you think about possible risks (more heat and so forth)?

• Satellite P100-188: where to get a nVidia sticker?

  Hey everybody. I bought my Satellite P100-188 last Sunday and I must say he realizes a lot in terms of games and General all-around use.

  In any case, inside when you open the lid... I can see on the left, the badge sticker 'Core Duo', higher than is "Vista ready" sticker, but on the extreme right, there is a hack to help nothing stuck on it! If I am not mistaken, the Nvidia badge stickers belongs to this indenting.

  If anyone knows how I can do to get one? I keeps not working machine, but it seems a little weird.

  Thank you

  The first thing I do with a new computer is remove all the hardware popup stickers.
  But, I'm willing to accept offers from potential sponsors for $50 per square centimetre of the surface of "advertising."

• Satellite P100-188: tips on battery charges

  I just bought a Satellite P100-188 and this is my first laptop, it says in the manual "once the battery is fully charged, it is recommended that you use the computer only on battery power until the battery completely discharges.» This prolongs the life of the battery and helps to ensure accurate monitoring of the battery capacity"and"leave the AC adapter plugged in will shorten battery life. At least once a week, power the computer on battery power until the battery is completely discharged and then recharge the battery."

  I was wondering if I should unplug it sector whenever that appears the battery charged? I only need to use the PC on batteries for short periods of time (most of the time I can connect to a power outlet) it would completely remove the battery and running on current alternative alone (even do that?)

  in these moments, I know that the batteries have a finite charge time and I am just a little worried about the procedure to follow if there is place for long battery life, because they can be quite expensive to replace. So it is wise to place the battery on charge when it displays as power by half or a quarter, or should I let it drain completely before recharging?

  I would appreciate some advice from all you seasoned users of laptops out there.

  Hello

  You should treat a battery as if it was in the manual.
  Completely load, use it until it is empty, then charge again.

  Only connect the laptop to power if necessary (means that the battery is empty).

• Satellite P100-188: how to perform the procedure for recovery of the product?

  Hello

  I just had a bit of trouble to install a piece of software that, in the end I could settle with a system restore. This process was worried at the time that I could not get the software uninstalled properly (I had to download a program from the machine to uninstall!)

  At one point, I considered the restoration of my laptop Satellite P100-188 with the product recovery disc, the thing is I never did this before and I was wondering if someone could tell me the best sequence for later use.

  I have a standard Windows Media Center Edition OS, a recovery disk of the product, a disk Express Media Player and a CD of Drivers and tools that I created when I got the laptop.

  I have a feeling telling to restore Express Media Player before Windows, is does that mean that I have to insert this disc, install Express Media Player, then insert recovery disk product to install Windows?

  The Express Media Player disc formats the drive? It's not clear to me and I don't want to run into problems when I finally don't have to reinstall my operating system.

  I searched this forum to see if this information was already posted and could not find all the relevant information, all I can find are problems with the help of recovery and lack of discs discs.

  If it has been posted before could you provide me a link and I'm sorry again calls for data.

  Hello Gary

  If you want to have own OS preinstalled, the best solution is to use supplied recovery media. If the Express media player works well the leave it as it is and use the recovery DVDs only for clean operating system installation. All that s!

  Tools and Utilities CD can be used if you need to reinstall Toshiba designed tools or if you want to install your own operating system by using the facilities of Microsoft CD. If you have any other questions please post again.

• Satellite P100-188 crash nv4.mini.sys

  Hi, new to this forum.

  Since the P100 188 PSPA3E, new, large laptop for my business including web design/download needs.

  Only fault in a few months was crack on cover near hinge, which was a common fault at all, that I understand. Never bothered to set it as cosmetic. She is now 2.5 years old.

  I started having problems with graphics on xp, when I got the system due to problems of Norton. I've also updated to windows 7 at this point, it having resisted before that time. Colors began to change, and I noticed that fans have become much louder and more and challenging. So I think that the graphics card may have suffered more heating, which seems to be a common problem in looking at sites of cell phone fix.

  I dismantled the phone and cleaned for the proccessor and graphics card heat sinks, they are matched!

  I reassembled and still have the same problem, the sytem has very poor graphics on external monitor (as does not appear on the LCD display) with verticle lines about 4 together in batches across the screen, even about to start of Toshiba. I tried several times to recovery disk, but it crashes with blue screen. ... nv4.mini.sys

  Research on google, I understand that it is a sure sign that there is a problem with the graphics card or its driver. I find the new driver who has just be released 6 days ago that I write, but how to install this new driver, when the system is not install and recover. Or is the card NVidia 7600 finished.

  No matter what advice or experience would be accepted with gratitude.

  Thanks for your help.

  Was hopeing that someone could have come back to this one.

  Motherboard is A000006530 with sepererate circuit board for GF-GO7600-N-A2 graph (since it seems that some video cards are in the main motherboard.

  It seems there have much said about updates driver on older cards of this type, don't not juggling software developments. As I am now trying a new Nvidia card is there a slight update of the older one?

  I would be pleased by your thoughts or experiences.

  Thanks in advance

• Comment for Satellite P100-188 owners looking to buy Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card

  I just bought a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card, which is excellent, much better than the piece of bad quality (in my opinion) of material that accompanies it. But I thought I'd find out other buyers from the perspective of this card that it heats up a fair bit. The problem is that the only warm place on the P100-188 (for me) was under the left Palm (maybe the graphics card is placed here) everywhere else was fine, the problem is that the PCMCIA socket is also in the same area, so when the sound card is used for heat in this area is considerably increased makes it uncomfortable typing for a while. I'm not too concerned, as I bought it mainly for games, and (for once) being left handed means that according to the means of the mouse will not rest my hand on the hot zone, but a right handed the person using the keys WASDX or similar for steering in FPS games the accumulation of heat in this area could be a problem.

  I just thought I'd let people know this potential on the side for another great product.

  Hello

  Thanks for your review. It s great know the advances and the disadvantages on each laptop.
  One of my notebooks is a Satellite A50 laptop and it also has a cooling fans that on the left side. For me its doesn't matter because I have a Mr. right-handed: D
  However, my other laptop support the fan on the right side and it's a little awkward for me but is no reason for me to not use this laptop.

  cordially ;)

• Satellite P100-194: blue screen - nv4_disp is in an infinite loop

  I have a Satellite P100-194 since 28.08.06 and I get this blue screen telling me that the nv4_disp (I think it's the graphic driver nvidia) is in an infinite loop.

  Error message:
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (English translation):

  "Device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the incorrect programming hardware device driver.

  Please check with your hardware vendor, updates to the driver.

  Technical information:

  "STOP: 0x000000EA (0x857F66E0, 0x85CL22D0, 0xF7C61CB4, 0x00000001)".
  

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Then he said something about the execution of a physical memory dump and I had to reboot.
  Sometimes the monitor turns off just (without blue screen) and I have to stop again. Or the screen shows several vertical strips during startup. in the case of windows window should come it gets black. I had this error 5 - 6 times since I bought it.
  This could be a damage on the geforce 7900 gs card or RAM may be defective or do I have new chipset... drivers?

  The drivers are the latest (from toshiba).

  Technical support told me to format the pc.
  The laptop is new and was very expensive, so I find it very strange that I need to update anything to make it work properly... ? ! ?
  Yesterday I formatted the laptop and reinstalled with the Recovery CD... because the error is sometimes, I don't know if it's working now, but I would be grateful for any HELP or comment on that.

  Thank you.

• Satellite P100-188: where to find the Power Saver & Virtual Surround Sound

  Hello

  We know when or if Toshiba will allow us to download these utilities compatible with cell phones series P100-188? I've very disappointed with the sound quality compared to my satellite M45 I replaced this P100-188 (PSP3AE).

  I still don't see these utilities on the list tailored to this particular type of laptops. Can someone help me please?
  Thank you and Merry Christmas John

  Well, as far as I know some units of the P series are delivered without the energy saving and the virtual sound.
  I don t know why, but I guess that it s a kind of policy
  However, I don t think that Toshiba will design and develop the tools if the laptop has been delivered without these features.

  I remember from one of my friends bought a unit in a series of P a long time ago and this laptop has not also been bundled with Toshiba power saver.
  He had to use Windows power options instead of the energy saver.

• Satellite P100-188: low resolution fonts and menus, game

  Hello

  I have a P100-188 and fonts on the office and Internet icons display very well, however the fonts displayed in message boxes look terrible, looks like they are displayed in low resolution, you can see practically every pixel that make up the letters.

  This is really visible with some games I've played, as UFO: Afterlight and supreme commander. The games look good, but the menus for the said games are terrible.

  Nobody else this remark on their machines and is it current with windows and LCD screens?
  This is my first laptop and my desktop computer is old and it uses a CRT monitor that do not show the same symptoms.

  Hello

  Have you changed your display resolution or even use native resolution 1440 x 900?

  AFAIK P100 has excellent 17.0 "TruBrite discovers Wide 16:10 color TFT display and the illustration is really fantastic. Because of that, I'm a little confused about your ad. To make it better to try to change the font size and enlarge the fonts.
