Satellite P100-221: want to know some more info

Hello
I am interested in toshiba p100-221 and I also like the Qosmio F30-112

I heard that toshiba used parts cheap in their laptops to reduce the price. Is this true?

I see people complaining about the keyboard on the p100-221 problem. Is it possible to get rid of this problem?

I am facing problem to decide which laptop to buy. What people do you propose? I'll be back for the Qosmio F30 or the Satellite P100-221?

Please help me with this and give me some suggesstion with appropriate patterns

Hello

As far as I know Toshiba use own coins in notebooks with a very good quality.
I think that the parts are produced in different countries such as the Philippines or Taiwan or China to reduce costs. But all manufacturers do. The products are developed and produced abroad.
You asked for on the P100 keyboard problems. I read a few topics, and it seems that the update of the BIOS will solve this problem.

However, if you n t know what laptop you want to buy then I recommend you check the properties of the laptop. How do use you the laptop? You want a portable laptop for a trip or you want a laptop that you use only at home as a desktop PC? Do you want a laptop for gaming or just for office work?
These issues are important and you need to deliberate what laptop you will buy.

The two laptops are really nice with a good performance.

    Only Kingston SO-DIMM, 2 GB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM, KTT667D2 / 2G match?

  • Satellite P100-221: problem with driver battery composite microsoft

    Hello

    I have problem with my satellite p100-221! A few days ago I had problems with my audio driver (audio conexant high definition), after starting it was indicates that the pilot of his failed to initialize, I reinstaleed this driver several times and at last it was working OK, but I noticed that windows does not see the battery.

    The small cell in the status bar disappeared and I can not say for how long can I use laptop with battery. Laptop works as if it is connected to the AC. In the Device Manager appeared an exclamation on the battery composite microsoft.

    I tried to renew the drivers but nothing. I deleted combatt.sys and cmbatt.sys in windows\system32\drivers but they appear again. I started in safe mode deleted, but after normal start, they do not appear. I also deleted them in Device Manager, and after start-up, this device did not and do not ask me to install the drivers.

    What can I do?

    Hello

    I noticed that you did a lot of complex changes to your device. You deleted some files, update drivers, etc..
    I guess that your operating system has been enough installed and worked properly.
    Windows XP supports a system restore tool. This tool allows you to roll back the OS to the beginning.
    In my opinion, you should try to use this option. Maybe he'll bring your laptop at the time where everything worked correctly.

  • Satellite P100-221 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 TV-Out problem

    Hi, I have Toshiba Satellite P100-221, with NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS, it has a tv (S-video) output, I had cable & connected & nothing appears on television, & when I go to advanced settings & see the video card options, I found that nothing related to the modification of the display to the TV or anything...
    When I looked in the manual, I found all the explanation based on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7500 :(
    I also tried Fn + F5 & choose the TV also, nothing happens, knowing also that the cable I got one side S-video, & the other side completely normal video in cable
    Help, please
    & thx a lot

    Post edited by: gak_7

    Hello

    First, you must connect the laptop with Palm of TV s-video cable. Then, go to the TV with the FN + F5 key combination. Select TV and LCD.
    Then you must enable the feature s-video on the TV (consult the manual of your TV). Without activating the s-video on the TV, you will not be able to see something.
    This should work on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7500 and 7900!

  • Satellite P100-221: Question about the version of the graphics driver

    Hello

    I have the Satellite P100-221 (PSPA6E-013010RU).
    There is a new update for nVidia 7900GS card driver available (8.4.0.0, 27/07/06) in the Russian section of www.toshiba.com.

    But the number is still 8.4.0.0, as it was before.
    Do you mean the driver has not been modified too much, or is it a new revision?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Satellite P100 is a very recent laptop right now and the drivers have to be to date. In this case, I think that the drivers on the Toshiba page are even similar on your laptop. The date indicates only the version on the page.

    Anyway, you should always check the numbers of versions of drivers and compare until you install it on the device.
    Maybe the drivers are preinstalled and you don't need to reinstall the same version.

  • Satellite P100-221: FN key combinations do not work properly

    Hello

    I have the satellite p100-221 with pre-installed Win XP MCE. After a week of using my computer, a problem with the function keys blue appeared. FN - f1, fn - f2 and all the other fn keys combinations do not work properly. They seem to work, I can change the brightness, switch the touchpad on and out and so on, but no icon on the Info screen appears. While pressing the combination of function keys, the icons on the screen shows the time. How can I solve this problem? Is it software or hardware related?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    I put t think that this question is related to the material.
    I recommend the update of the Hotkey utility.
    On the page of the Toshiba driver I found two different versions:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Your device is Satellite P100-221, then I guess the extra number must be PSPA6E.
    Do not forget that you are using the correct drivers for this device.

  • Satellite P100-221: TV Out & Windows update

    Hey everybody,

    I have Satellite P100-221 and I have 2 problems:

    1. I connect my computer laptop to the TV using the S-video via the S-video port cable, then when I press Fn + F5 it gives me the entire options, including CRT, LCD/CRT, LCD/TV & TV then I select TV and nothing happened at one of the laptop screen and the TV screen. I tried several times and it does not work, if any body can help me in this matter and if there are actions should be made in the display properties, I would be much appreciated.

    2 - operating system laptop is Windows XP Media Center, and whenever I try to connect the windows update server it gives me an error update failure, someone has an idea of what is causing this problem, I would be grateful.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    You you properly connected portable TV and have you enabled the s-video on the TV?

    Have you checked if it s possible to switch to the TV via the Nvidia nView Desktop Manager?
    This option that you can find in the control panel. There must be an option to turn on the TV.
    You can also try to update the hotkey utility. The P100-221 is a series of PSPA6E. Do not forget that you are using the correct driver.

    But a question: have you used the Toshiba OS or have you installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD?

    I can t tell a lot about the failure of update. Maybe something wrong on the inputs of server or Microsoft registry on your device. Try to search the knowledge base Microsoft for similar problems.

  • How can satellite P100-221 - I access WiFi networks?

    I have a P100-221.

    I want access to WiFi networks.
    I put t know how. Should which driver I install?

    Any help please?

    Concerning
    Nevzat

    Hello

    If Windows recognizes a WiFi network, you can access and normally you will need a password. If you know this, you have access to the network.
    More WIFI must be activated with the WiFi switch on the laptop and pressing FN + F8.

    To do this, it of not necessary to install a driver but if you need a driver, you can find it on the Toshiba site.

    I think you should look in the user manual. Here you can a lot of information on your computer laptop and information how to access a WiFi network.
    Sometimes it s very useful user manual.

  • Unknown problems with my Satellite P100-221

    Hello all;

    My laptop Toshiba PC100-211 will not work properly and because the customer service is very far from my location, so first I want to understand if the problem is due to a software or hardware failure so decide to manage.

    I've listed my observations and difficulties in list below:

    (1) internet connection very slow irregular (I checked my internet connection with my friend's cell phone is ok, so the problem causes by my laptop)

    (2) sometimes unreadable screen (yellow traps and sometimes mathematical identical symbols as radical, @,...) in this case the message that windows cannot start no t properly appeared, and then I have to start my laptop in safe mode.

    (3) 4 months ago when I connected to the internet, found the connection problem with the sound as chick chick and I couldn't type the address because the default address is hide constantly and appear and can not select it (now I don't have this problem)

    (4) sometimes the system hung with black screen and no action and I have no chance with the exception of the removal of the battery and restart the computer.
    In this case if I leave it for a long time all of a sudden irregular noise out.

    I used my laptop recovery CD but still I am facing this problem. I'm not sure that I have to reinstall new windows for my laptop (because of the message) or it is a hardware problem (graphics card, modem,...) I have called Toshiba customer service (3 hours driving from my place) and they informed me that they will check and if they find any hardware problem, that they cannot do anything because we bought in the Middle East and we now live in K.L, East Asia!

    Hello

    I find your model of laptop Satellite P100-211 and not PC100-211.
    Is this good? The model number is placed at the bottom of the unit you can check it again.

    With regard to the unique points:

    (1) what connection are you using? WLan or LAN?
    You said its hollow; how little it is? You have values? Have you contacted your ISP that provides access to the internet?

    If you are using WLan, then you should try to update the BIOS and the WLan card driver in many cases, it helps to settle such questions

    (2) possibly it of a question of Windows operating system, if you need safe mode.
    Maybe a new installation of the OS would be useful to know what causes this problem.

    (3), it s really hard to say what s this might be or what caused this problem but it this issue is no longer seen so don t be worried ;)

    (4) as I recommended in the point 1) trying to update BIOS and perhaps a graphics card driver.
    Check if it helps.

    See you soon
