Satellite P100 - 194 defective Contact on the main power connector

Hello

Two and a half years ago, I bought my Satellite P100-194. Yesterday, I noticed that I can't use my cell phone on my diet. At first, I thought power has left his job, so I opened it. Today, I checked the entire power supply with a voltmeter. It still seems to work, it gives me twenty-six volts at idle.

After that I checked the connector of my diet and I noticed that it seems not hold very tight in the case of the laptop. So I think that my connector has a contact in loose / faulty.
After that I googled to find some people with the same problem and it was written that Toshiba may fix this loose contact by changing the whole motherboard for about three hundred Euros.
Due to the fact that I am a student, I don't have that kind of money.

Have you any advice for me to get my laptop working again?
Or do you think I have a quite different problem?

Thank you
Bastian

Thank you

Hello

In my opinion, you should visit the nearest Toshiba service provider. Explain the situation and perhaps, they will be able to solve this problem without Exchange of motherboard.
Maybe they'll just resolder the connections.

Talk with them. Be just cool and pleasant. Maybe your charm will help you. ;)

  • Silent CD/DVD drive acoustic does not work on Satellite P100-194

    Satellite P100-194 (Win XP MCE, Bios-Version 2.20)

    Given that excessive vibration of the drive DVD-Multi-with some of my DVDs and CDs, I would not use the acoustic silencer, but West no difference between Silent Mode and Normal Mode.

    I tried to reinstall the silent acoustic tool, without success. As this problem starts to get really annoying, any help would be appreciated.

    I wonder if the built-in-multi-DVD player is sensitive by default (sometimes entire Notepad starts vibrating combined with a noise level very high during playback of a dvd)?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi WB,.

    I think that acoustic silencer simply limited the rate at which information can be obtained on CD/DVD in order to prevent the rotation high speed that can sometimes occur when extracting the CD or the DVD to the hard drive. If you're just watching DVDs (or listening to CD, by the way) then the speed of the drive will be not particularly high because once the buffer is full so there is no need to read more data from the disc itself. If you look at the car LED, you'll see that it only lights intermittently ever.

    The speed of the drive will decrease during playback, as the laser reads information from the outer part of the disc surface.

    The presence of noise and vibration normally indicates that the disk is "eccentric" or is not set centrally in the reader, and this may indicate a possible problem with the clamping mechanism itself. However, it is always worth checking that the center hole of the disc itself has no Burr or pieces of materila which he would lift off, and it is also useful to check if the label of the disc (assuming that it is a type of stick on paper) is properly attached and has no loops or bubbles in it since this may also cause noise of air.

    I have the experience of a couple of game of CD-ROM discs that cause a lot of noise and vibrations in my book and recording, I found that the central hole was slightly shifted.

    Kind regards

    What operating system you use, and you have installed the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    If you use Windows XP you have two install two hotfixes from the Microsoft Knowledge Base: KB835221 and KB888111.
    Two updates are integrated into SP3 and you need to install the patches first, and then the driver.

    In addition, you should try to install the latest driver on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite P100: Multiprocessor is disabled in the BIOS v4.20

    Hello

    I have just updated the bios to 4.20, after reboot, I went to the bios settings and saw that the multiprocessor (the option for the use of 2 CPUs) is disabled.

    After I enabled it, the computer is very slow, and I had problems with starting the computer.

    When the multiprocessor option is disabled, the computer works ok, but the Task Manager indicates that a single processor.

    I had to go down to the bios to version 4.00.
    I would like to know if there is another solution for this.

    I disabled this option and the laptop runs slowly than before and in the device manager what a processor is listed.

    I don't really know what is wrong in your case, but I can confirm that the Satellite P100-191 friends, everything works well.

    Hi all!

    Can anyone can advise, try to connect the Sony camcorder with 4 pin i.link, but can't seem to connect the two devices.

    I have AC power on the camera, tried to use the other movie maker, adobe, etc. no joy.
    is thinking why is this?
    Thank you

    Hello!

    As Garrett Satellite P100 supports the firewire port.

    Normally, the port is always on and you need an application that does not recognize your camcorder correctly. You can then copy the videos on your laptop.

    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...

    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?

    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 :(

  • Re: Satellite P100-194 PSP6AE sound does not work under Vista 32 bit

    Hello world

    I got a nice Satellite P100 and configure Vista for a friend. I don't have the CD that came with the computer, so I installed those on the Toshiba site. I found out later that there is a proposed order of installations, and there is no chipset driver for Vista, so I used the XP one.
    As far as I got, everything works fine but the laptop remains silent. There is no sound from the speakers at all. Windows says it all was going well and there is a level moving in the sound mixer, but he remains silent.

    Does anyone have an idea what I could check or change? I would be very happy!

    Thanks in advance,
    Markus

    From my point of view, there is a hardware malfunction.
    Why? Because the sound through headphones. Therefore, it is not a software/driver problem.

    But what you could do is to check the audio playback device by default:
    Go to control panel of-> sound-> the Read tab
    Here the speakers should be peripheral activated and chosen as a default value.

  • 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: I want to update the driver, but I don't know the number of the system

    I noticed a bunch of them on the driver download page.
    We bought the system enough a few months ago and threw from the packaging etc.

    Model number, do you mean books?

    The model number can be found on the bottom of the unit.

  • Fan does not stop on Satellite P100-194

    How can I stop the fan? It works very, independent of all the parameters of CPU speed or powermizer settings. Is not very strong but quite hard to hear.

    Is there an improvement in the update of the BIOS of the 27.7.2006 or what else can I do to stop the fan?
    I tried with NHC as I did with my other laptop, here it worked perfectly.

    Hello

    First of all, it would be nice to know your name detailed for laptop.
    Also if fans run every time so I guess that it of necessary to cool the CPU.
    You wrote something about powermizer settings.
    On Toshiba laptops, you should find the Toshiba Power saver. There you can change the settings for each power mode.
    Also if she won't help so I would recommend comparing the visions of the BIOS of your laptop and on the page of Toshiba.
    If there is a newer version, so you should try to update the BIOS.
    Be careful! Make sure you use the good BIOS and the proper procedure!

    If after updating the BIOS the fans won't be won't stop or will work continuously if you could check in the grids of cooling modules. Eventually, the dust and debris inside the laptop is responsible for this issue.
    In this case, you can try to use carefully vacuuming to clean the fans.

    In addition the square around the laptop must be free due to the circulation of air.
