Satellite P100-387 - WiFi works not

Hello

I have problem with Wi - Fi.
When I turn on WiFi (button), the orange LED lights. I'm trying to find networks and... nothing to find.
I'm sure there are some - using laptops anothers, there is minimum 2 networks.

Please help me to identify the problem - card or system.
Maybe there are a few changes in the system (Windows XP ME)?
In the operative part of the manaer wireless card is enabled.

How to check if the wireless card is OK or a failure?

Nice day
Szymon

Hi mate

First, you will need to update the BIOS to the current state.
To do this, see European driver of Toshiba.

Then update the WLan driver;
Here you can find the latest version:

I recommend also using a tool like Intel ProSet WLan configuration for example.
Rest your WLan router and check if the WiFi network is not hidden.
Delete all settings of encryption, but only for the test!

Activate the WLan using FN + F8 and use that locates the switch next to the laptop.

If the test is successful, then you can activate the security on the router WLan

  • Satellite P100-387: VT is not available & USB flash boot problem

    Hello world

    I bought this laptop, but I am very satisfied with the following functions:

    Processor supports VT (virtualization technology), but in the bios is not the option to enable or disable and tools like securable (grc.com) or other show that this option is disabled.
    I check the version of the bios. My is last, but I try to find any information on the web from the seller of the bios and there is tool for verification of the bios.
    With that, I discovered that my bios is not the last and I pay $ 38 for access (3 months) to the new version.

    I can't boot from the flash drives.

    I think on netbook and on the first time I thing about toshiba nb 100.
    But now, I'm not sure it's the right idea.

    Do you know how to solve this problem?

    Hello

    Regarding booting from the USB flash key
    As far as I know this option is not supported by the BIOS, then you will NOT be able to boot from a USB flash key.
    In this case, you could start from ODD, HARD, LAN and USB FDD drive

    Good bye

  • Satellite P100 - 387 CPU fan works like crazy

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-387. I bought it with 2 friends. The same model.

    The problem exists only in 2 of the 3 laptops. It looks like this. When I start the machine everything is ok. While windows starts cpu cooler (or video card cooler if it exists) starts to work. If the fan starts to work the low speed at the highest. And did it for 5 - 10 times. Then a few minutes break and again. It's really noisy. It seems that when you insert a CD or a DVD.

    It goes like this also when windows is started. No high consumption of CPU, the fan works like crazy. Start at full speed for 2-3 seconds, then for 1 second and still the same.

    Everyone has the same 'characteristic '?
    What is this Toshiba Power Saver software works with p100-387?

    Hello

    I P100-109 close to me and I noticed the same thing. There is no difference between preinstalled WXP or Vista and because of this, I assume that this is a normal behavior. I know it's sometimes troubling, but unfortunately you have to live with it.

  • Satellite P100-387: how reintall Windows XP Media Center Edition

    Hello

    I work with P100-387. Today, I realized, that there is a problem with the new upgrades for windows and update for Office 2007. I'm not able to open Word. Excel is workin, Power Point also. Opening remarks, the remains of screen splash long (about 3-4 minutes), the menu is being loaded, but when I try to click on something... does not.
    I tried to delete some KB, but nothing helped. I have downloade also all the updates for Office 2007 - still does not.

    If the last option is to reinstall Windows. Please tell me how to do?

    I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message (for the time being, I have 4, and I want to do all the time with all the data). My goal is to format only C: (the system) and install the fresh news or Windows XP MCE.

    Please give a solution, how to solve this problem.

    Best regards

    > I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message

    Well generally it of true the recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions and set the laptop to factory settings.

    But the question is; what recovery CD Toshiba do you have? I presume that it is the new version of the recovery CD because the laptop Satellite P100-387 is not very old.

    You can choose between the Standard recovery mode and Expert mode?
    Using the expert mode you should be able to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.

    But if it is not able to choose between these two recovery modes, then I guess you have the new recovery called RECO CD and there is no other choice than to format the whole HARD drive. In this case, the backup of the data would be desirable

    Of course, you can use the original CD of Microsoft. Using this CD, you will be able to install the OS on the single partition without format the whole HARD disk.

    Best regards

  • Can satellite P100-387 - I use a solid state drive?

    Is it possible to change the disk hard original toshiba satellite P100-387 with new SSD. i.e.: Kingston SSDNow V-Series 128 GB?

    Hello

    Hmm generally, it shouldn't be a problem since the P100 supports a SATA HDD controller.
    To be honest I n t have an SSD and I can't say that an SSD can work properly, but theoretically it should not be a problem because the BIOS shouldn't differences between a common SATA HDD or SSD SATA.

  • Fingerprints and the remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

    P100-387 has a fingerprint and the remote? Please, someone answer me.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not supplied with the remote control.
    But you're right.
    The fingerprints and the remote control are optional and some laptops in the P100 series support fingerprint reader and are delivered with command remotely.

  • 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.

    How did you test the remote control?
    What do you mean who does not? Some functions does not work or a complete remote control cannot be used?

    I read the user manual and it seems that the remote will work under Windows mode with WinDVD or Express Media player, and Windows Media Player when the laptop was not started in the Windows operating system.

  • Satellite P500-1CK - WIFI does not work

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite P500-1CK with Windows 7 64 bit. Cause I don't need, I replaced it with Windows 7 32 bit and now my WIFI does not work.

    I tried many drivers, Toshiba drivers and Realtek drivers, old and new versions. Installed and uninstalled them again and again. But it does not work. In the Device Manager, there is no error and no question mark. The map will be displayed as a RTL 8191SE, it's true. I've identified the vendor & device ID also.
    The other FN keys works like a charm, but FN + F8 does not appear. The wireless switch is active and the led is orange.

    When I type "cmd" then "ipconfig/all" it will be only shown the PCI Atheros Gigabit Adapter with the IP address, but not the adapter WLAN of Realtek.

    Searched Google @ and spend hours and hours, but I am at my wits end... Please help me.

    funthomas22

    Hi funthomas22,

    And this doesn t work exactly?

    You see a WLAN in range?
    Have you looked for WLAN networks?
    Can you connect to WIFI networks?

    A point would be interesting: can you try the same thing with preinstalled Windows 7 64 bits instead of your own 32-bit installation?
    Therefore, use the recovery disk Toshiba to restore the version of the OS preinstalled. You will have a pre-tested Toshiba Windows 7 installation where everything should work properly.

  • Satellite L40-15B - WiFi works at home but not at school

    My daughter has satellite worked at home and at school: wifi OK, internet OK. The satellite crashed: hard disk failure. Bought a new hard drive.

    I reset the Satellite via the recovery CD. It is now a new clean system with * Windows Vista home premium *. * Wifi works immediately at home. Internet too, but at school with my daughter, the wifi is NOT working anymore.*
    Laptops from other children at school always work with wifi.

    A college of my work told me his sister had exactly the same problem!

    Help!

    Hello

    If the WIFI connection works at home but not at school it has nothing to do with Toshiba. I think that your daughter should ask the administrator of the school what is the problem. Maybe the WLAN requires a certain configuration of TCP/IP or else I n t he know and I think that no one here can answer this question.

    Is that wireless network card is properly installed and works, because you can access the Internet at home.

    Sorry, but everything that s what I can say.

    Please not that after the installation of Win XP, the BIOS needs to be updated!
    The Toshiba page should provide a special BIOS for Win XP OS update.

    Please someone help me.

    Really sounds like a hardware problem the P100 is a new laptop and warranty should cover all replacements
    Ask at the service of your country for replacement. Everything will be first to check the notebook and then you should get a new ODD (optical drive)
