Satellite P100-240 only works with ACPI disabled

Hello

I recently bought a second hand P100-240.
For a day, it worked very well, and I tested it with sisoft sandra, 3dmark, many games etc.
All played well, and it was not overheating and really powerful.

Then a day later, he just got started while I was using it. On reboot, it will reach point just sign into windows XP Media Center edition and then cut. Even in safe mode, exaclty the same thing would happen.
I left it for a few hours, in which case it was overheated, but the same thing happened when I retested.

I tried the live cd Knoppix, and initially it would turn off at halfway by starting.
Then I tried to run the Knoppix with a "acpi = off" option and it starts very well!.

Also, I have tried many BACK start-up based utils and these well everything worked.
I tested the disk, the cpu (stress and burn in tests), memory (memtest). All tools ran fine and all tested ok (and the machine does not idle)

I tried to install a copy of windows XP alongside XP MCE, but that on the installation screen lists the existing partitions, and the machine would just power off.

So try the Knoppix ACPI thing, I tried to install Windows XP without ACPI (i.e. a STANDARD pc), and he got through the fine installation. Now, I have a fully functional laptop again and can play all the games etc like before. Everything I have disappeared are ACPI some associates of power options.

Now, what I want to know, is this ACPI issue a collateral or the related issue of the BIOS?

Im running 4.40 BIOS, which is the latest BIOS for the p100-240 (PSPA3E).

Is there a previous BIOS, which is perhaps more stable and will work around this ACPI problem? But the confusion is how all it worked well for a day and a half at the start?

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hello

In my opinion, the laptop is closed due to a higher internal temperature!
The point is that the laptop supports protection against overheating and sensors (ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) who would yell at the bottom of the unit automatically to prevent damage.

You said that this happens all by playing a few games. This heavy application leads to higher heat dissipation and therefore the temperature rises.
I think that you should first check your cooling modules if they are not clogged with dust and debris. A compressed air jet pourrait helps get rid of the dust.

Second, you must use the graphics drivers from Toshiba because such driver was designed for the use of the laptop and controls the heat dissipation the GPU too.

  • Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

    Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

    Yesterday I did face the following problem:

    I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

    I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

    And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

    Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

    --
    Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

    I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

    This sentence is very interesting.
    Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

    It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
    Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

    If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    Hello

    After replacing the motherboard ASP always update the firmware on the motherboard. If it has not been done, the CPU is only 598 Mhz.

    Hello

    The CPU is not better than Core 2 Due because he s successor to core Duo.
    Intel Core Duo processor T2400 1.83 GHz Yonah works on this laptop.
    You can check the detailed specifications of this CPU Intel page.

    In addition the unit supports audio chip type high-definition Intel Conexant CX20551-22.
    I put t know what you mean by HD video.
    Do you mean the HD player? The portable player is a simple DVD Super Multi drive (+/-R Double Layer) and it does not play any DVD HD

  • Satellite P100-240: speakers do not work

    I have a Satellite P100-240 with built-in speakers. Recently the speakers worked intermittently with no control over the volume (the volume was extremely low). Now the speakers do not work at all, either from a cd or a sound system.

    Can you help me?

    Hello

    You must know that in such cases is really not possible to give a precise explanation. If the audio device is installed correctly and in Device Manager is not listed as problematic there must be a problem with the settings.

    First try to check all the sound settings and make sure that the mute box is not selected. Also check dial volume control. If everything is set to max level and no MUTE is ENABLED, please check the features that you use headphones.

    Please post the results.

  • Satellite A210 - 10 c only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz

    Hello

    I have a very big problem. One day, I look in Vista on my resource monitor and see that the max freuquence is only 50%.

    So first of all I think that is no problem because the assets 'energy savings' energy recorded.
    I have a Satellite A210 - 10 c portable.

    So I switch to maximum power and perform a test of prime95. But hell, the max freuquence has not changed. I also installed everest and cpu z, but all programs show the same to me:

    My laptop only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz!

    I'm looking for drivers for the AMD processor, but you need not for Vista. Update all the drivers of Toshiba and Programms and BIOS (in fact, it is the 1.9).

    Nothing helps.

    As a last test, I reinstalled Vista, but also did not help.

    And now I'm at a loss what to do.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Good bye...

    Have you installed the Vista using the recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Vista?

    I ask because the restore CD contains all drivers for Toshiba and yellow exclamation marks should not be apparently in Device Manager.

    If you used the original CD of Vista I think that you have not installed the Package of Intel Robson.

    I found the package of Robson on the Toshiba driver-> Satellite P200 area page.

    Maybe you should check this.

    Your comments would be appreciated

  • Can I put the Satellite P100-240 with internal fingerprint reader

    I have a Satellite P100-240.
    Although he did not come equipped with material to print finger scanning, it has clogged the hole in the box where he would go.
    So I wonder, can I get the hardware scanning separately and adapt it to the laptop?

    I don't see any option for the material to be sold separately on the Tosh site and I'm not even sure who makes the hardware for them so I can source it independently.

    Can we offer here advice or information on this operation?

    Hello

    You are right. Some P100 units support the fingerprint, and some units have been delivered without this feature.
    As I m not wrong not these fingerprints can be upgraded

    But to be 100% sure you should ask the local ASP (authorized service provider) for details.
    But in my opinion you can not put the laptop with fingerprint reader.

    Good bye

    In support, I can only find drivers for p100-PSPA0E / p100-PSPA3E / p100-PSPA6E

    Thank you

    Hi Jonathan

    The laptop Satellite P100-240 is the series of PSPA3E-xxxx, so you have to use XP for PSPA3E P100 drivers.

    I've updated the Vista on my old Satellite phone and the Vista operating system works correctly I do not have any special drivers for Vista. I installed the Vista Intel Wlan driver only because the former was not recognized.

    I think that you should have no problems with Vista running, but if you will need Vista drivers you must wait. At the moment I put t found any

    On the other hand, nothing for this model except for standard windows volume set Panel. It just seems really strange what HD audio and no advanced to it control system. I tried searching on the web (for the SRS control or other stuff) and found nothing for this model.

    Another problem is that sometimes my audio quality is really bad, you can hear the sound Crackle not even at high volume, internal or external speaker. I tried to restore the couple machine time. Nothing has worked so far.

    my model is Satellite P100 - 240 PSPA3E. Windows MCE

    Please notify

    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.

  • Satellite P100-240: Media Center Edition - error 3

    I recently installed the Toshiba TV DVB, set up all channels and guides, then recorded a number of television programs.
    Unfortunately, when I have pulled up my Satellite P100-240 this morning to check the last recordings of nights, the Media Center told me that I had deleted all of my recordings.

    I tried to get the library going again without success.
    All I get is a window telling me that there may be essential audio and video files missing and he said that I should quote "error 3" when looking for support. ".
    I tried reinstalling the drivers, etc., but it just goes back to "error 3' anyone able to help?"

    It is a very strange question. To be honest I really don t know what happened with you Windows Media Center software.
    It s a program from Microsoft and my personal experience, sometimes inexplicable things

    What you could do is trying to roll back the BONE to this early time!
    Eventually a point system restore has been created and you can set the operating system on this point.

    I also recommend to check your recorded programs.
    Usually programs stored is located in the following folder:

    Hello

    What version of BIOS you have loaded? Version 4.20?

    Normally it shouldn´t do problems, especially after upgrading your BIOS. May I ask if the version of Windows installed on your machine you´d is on the media recovery or from scratch (from scratch means install with a genuine Windows CD and install the downloaded drivers)?

    If everything fails then send you the machine and let check the laptop on certain shortcomings of the BIOS.

    I have a Satellite P100-240.

    Q1 - my boss (a blind Lady) wants a model similar, but without the graphics power of the mine and a 15 "screen. Also, it must have a 102 keyboard keys.

    Is there such a model in the Satellite range?

    15.4 screen and keyboard 102?
    I m not 100% sure if this is possible.

    I have seen BIOS 4.40 for P100 on another Toshiba sites, for example:

    http://askiris.Toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2115 524xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 56504155 & stateId = 0% 200% 56506013 20

    But do not know if it is appropriate for P100-240.
    They seem to be named completely differently. Not sure if that's a thing based country.

    The BIOS in the mentioned link will be allowed to run on my p100-240?

    Your laptop is NOT American series but the European series and you must use the BIOS from the European driver Toshiba page!
    The incorrect BIOS may damage the BIOS ROM of portable module! And this would lead to the point where you wouldn t be able to boot the machine!
    This is why you should ALWAYS use the BIOS designed for this series of laptop!

    In addition, you won't find updates of the traditional BIOS on Toshiba page!
    There are only updates to the BIOS windows-based and you can update ONLY run under windows.

    If the notebook WHAT BIOS s cannot be updated to the Windows operating system, then you must contact the Toshiba technician and must ask for help!

    That's all you can do
