• Satellite P100 - screen turns off

  Hello
  Two things...

  1 is this normal for the bottom of the laptop to be extremely hot and almost feel it burn?

  2. the other day, we turned my computer on, loaded but with a white screen. Throughout the day, he did this. I opened the computer and taken apart from the half of it, turned on and still nothing.
  The day after I turn the computer and the screen is on as if nothing happened.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  I agree with baboon81. This behavior is certainly not normal and not much play with her. Contact the nearest service provider authorized as soon as possible.

• Satellite P100-119: is it possible to upgrade the processor to Core Duo?

  I ve a Satellite P100-119 computer laptop with 1, 66 GHz (Core Duo). Is it possible to install a faster processor (2.0 Ghz Duo Core) in this notebook, without Exchange of the motherboard?

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't usually recommend upgrading CPU and doesn t support these upgrades. Everything you make are at your own risk!
  In this case you will lose the warranty and if something goes wrong you will not get any support.

  Well, some people suggested that it is possible and that works, but I've never tried and cannot give you a 100% guarantee that it will work.

• Satellite P100-202: problems with screen again

  Hi all! I write about a problem with the screen of my Toshiba P100-202. I recently posted in the thread "Satellite P100-202: screen will freeze" and my current problem is actually quite similar to what is explained in the thread "Satellite P100-119: display no longer works. Here is my story, hoping someone can help me avoid having to send the computer to a technician:
  I decided after my previous problem, get my screen replaced. Everything seemed fine, except on the occaisonal instances, especially when I was using the "Internet Explorer" program, in which the screen sort of will re-start, IE. everything went black for a few seconds (music, etc. However would continue) then (boom) everything should reappear, sometimes in ultra - zoom for a second or two. The computer (OS = Windows 7) would report "problem with NVIDIA graphics driver", and then the operations would continue normally. This happened several times, but not often, and I was not too worried about it. Then, a few days before, I was using the latest release candidate of Internet Explorer 9 and the screen is blacked out and my music has continued and I thought 'OK, no problem' and then after a few seconds, and then the music stopped (and I thought ' uh - oh ') and then the blue screen of death.
  OK, don't panic, reboot, but of course there is no word of welcome, no nothing, just a blank screen, with the backlight still works created a worrisome greyish tint. And then suddenly the mouse appears, followed by the entire screen, so I unwisely rejected the incident. Ten minutes later, same thing and this time, not even the blue screen of death as consolement, just gray nothingness.
  A few days of rest, a dusting of battery, but no, even if I think the operating system works very well (caps lock light work and little purrs and snoring occur as usual), he has no doubt about the fact that the screen is not working.
  PS Sorry if my message is too long, and no, I don't have access to an external display!

  While I'm at it, someone is able to explain why a battery lasting 25 minutes can take several hours or even days to recharge?

  Unfortunately I can not offer a final solution or diagnosis, but I think you should test the functionality with the original recovery image (recovery DVD) you have with your laptop.

  Install the OS using this disc and test functionality. If the same thing happen over and over again there must be a hardware problem.
  If you need to bring the laptop to the service ask first how much cost repair. Maybe it will be too expensive and you can buy the new laptop instead of paying lots of money to repair this old model of laptop.

• After the last update of BIOS that Satellite P100 locks with BSOD

  Hello

  Due to several problems meeting with updated Toshiba Satellite P100-221 (PSPA6E) launch second online BIOS updated. I have download and I solve problems with my video card and the race of missing keyboard. After a short period, they put on the update of the BIOS rd page 3 drivers.

  I'm trying to find what ever they change with this new update, but I na? t find anything. So I decided to update my BIOS again. Now as a result my system crash very often when I quit & restart my computer (blue screen).

  Microsoft advised me to reduce the video acceleration for video adjustment.
  Maybe can someone explain to me why I have this problem?
  I use the same drivers and software same as in the second update
  I can find BIOS previous to rewrite again, because this one works very well with my laptop?

  Thank you!

  Hi Sebasian

  I use very long books and I've never updated the BIOS if not necessary. What laptop works well, OS stabile, why should I do it? I don t care if new BIOS update is available or not. I've always been skeptical about the updates to the BIOS. That's just my opinion.

  As far as I know, it is not possible to downgrade the version of the BIOS without special tools and it can be done by service partners. It is not easy to tell if the BIOS is responsible for this, but if possible, try to send us illustrated if BSOD errors.

  If I were you I backup all important data and reinstall the recovery image, configure OS for my needs, and make sure that everything is clean pre-installed. My experience with BSOD were always related software.

• I think the Satellite P100-427 has grainy screen

  I just bought a Satellite P100-427 with a Trubrite screen. However, I find that the screen is grainy, especially when you look at a white background. I saw the same video card on a non-Toshiba laptop with the same specifications and it seems ultra sharp - no grain at all.

  What I have to do something to my computer or make me a defective screen.
  Comments are appreciated.

  I think you're the one with this note on the screen. It will be interesting to see what it looks like, because in this way, it is not easy to say something specific about it.

  I can only say that you can try to update the BIOS with the latest version. A long time ago I found some similar comments, and the solution is update the BIOS.

  If you decide to do this please read carefully offered BIOS update document.

• Satellite P100-473 - suddenly the screen turns black

  Hello

  Since a few days, I have a problem with my Satellite P100-473 (with Vista Home installed recently + teamspeak only) after you have installed the latest version of Nero (maybe a detail)
  and do not know how, all of a sudden the screen went black.
  I so reboot and still black but the laptop properly started, the screen is activated (light up/down).
  I'm trying not to switch the display on an external monitor (VGA and DVI) no signal.
  I remove the battery for a few minutes.

  After a lot of irritation I gave it a week, I am again yesterday and after two tests display return with an error (such as a debug message), I forgot to note due to the excitement... ten minutes later same problem again:'(.)
  Yesterday before restarting the screen, I wait to start completely > type my password > sound > wait a minute > and type ESC / enter key at random.

  Can you please help me to find the source of this problem and maybe the solution to solve?

  Thank you very much for your future assistance, I hope you understand my pathetic English
  Best regards

  Hello

  Wait. You said you use external LCD and an external LCD related to this laptop.
  Do you use an external monitor Samsung, and maybe have you installed MagicTune software on your laptop?
  Please check this box.

  As far as I know software Samsung MagicTune can permanently disable the integrated computer Toshiba LCD display screen. Why?
  Because the MagicTune software is designed for use with desktop computers that do not have a built-in LCD screen.
  If your integrated LCD display has been disabled by the MagicTune software, you will need to make an arrangement for repair with a Toshiba authorized Service partner.

  But I hope that you have not installed this software.

• Black screen on startup - Satellite P100-350

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite P100-350 2 years and a few months it sometimes does not further the "toshiba" sign at the start, the hard drive does not. If I then press the Start button on the computer, it stops immediately. (I can't press it for 5 seconds as they normally do when it works properly).

  In this case, when that I raise, I lorsque que je le relance, je revois see the toshiba screen and a message asking me if I want to start windows with the last configuration and if I do, it opens the windows and everything works fine...
  I checked, I don't think I have a virus...

  I read also some other posts on the topic and updated the bios as advised but it changed nothing!
  What kind of pain is it? The energy supply, bios, operating system,...?

  Thanks for your help!
  Steph

  It's hard to say... How good are you with computers? Do you think you could do a diagnosis on your machine?

  I suggest to download the 'Ultimate Boot CD 4 Win' and check your RAM/disk hard/chipset/etc... on the malfunctions by doing some tests with the applications on the "UBCD4Win.

  Otherwise, I recommend giving the machine to someone who has some idea on laptops and allow him to check everything.

• Bad screen refresh rate shown under Vista - Satellite P100-429

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P100-429. There are three weak, I install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but now the highest of screen refresh rate is 60 Hz. I tried to download the latest drivers for the graphics card, but this will not work and the computer also says that the monitor is called generic PNP.

  Before Vista has a 100 Hz screen refresh rate and monitor had his screen Toshiba TruBrite WXGA + TFT of own name I tried looking for drivers for the monitor but without success, someone can help me pretty please, I get headaches for the low screen refresh rate.

  Hello

  Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
  Immediately after installation of Vista, the operating system uses Microsoft's own common graphics driver.
  If you want to use additional graphics options, you need to install the compatible graphics card driver.

  But I want to clarify something. The LCD or TFT screens give excellent quality and resolution at 60 Hz.
  the Refresh on TFT rate simply won't say the same thing about monitors CRT.
  Response time, brightness of the Image and the contrast of the Image are more important for a TFT or LCD monitor like the refresh rate.

  Performance display and the quality isn't worst if it run on 60 Hz
  Therefore, I see no reason to change the refresh rate of 100 Hz

• Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) - white screen, crashes and then restarts by itself

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) and am running Windows XP on it. Last month, I had a problem with my computer when the screen becomes white, then freezes and restarts itself.

  I took it to a computer store to get the snippet, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I tried to find if all programs are at the origin of this problem but I have not been able to find. My computer can be on for 10 h, before this occurs, and it can be on for 5 minutes before this problem occurs. It can also occur during the loading screen before reaching the windows welcome screen. If it helps, there is a slight delay when the screen becomes white and when it's freezing (I have music in the background several times where the music was still playing for a few seconds while the screen was white, and then it froze and rebooted).

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello!

  Have you checked the RAM yourself using Memtest86 as resident suggested? I mean Memtest86 is really great to test the RAM and if there is a problem, Memtest86 should prove.

  In addition I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Therefore, you can use Drive Fitness Test and Google is your friend to find.
  This program is also free.

  In the worst cases, you should go to an authorized service provider. Maybe it of a problem of the motherboard or processor, and this can be checked by a technician of the laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite P100-347: blue screen at startup - unable to boot volume

  Recently, I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, pre-installed with media center edition 2005, and now it fails to start.

  During the process of possibly starting a blue screen appears for about a second and then it shutsdown (I managed to make the words "unable to boot volume" on the basis of the blue screen).

  I tried to boot with a XP media center DVD but it gives me only a possibility of reinstalling the operating system with a cost of losing all my important data. Normally I would have picked up the system, but I don't want to lose my data.

  Can I do other than take it to a technician?

  Hello

  Well, for the most part the BSOD appears due to hardware problem or serious software.
  In your case, the software problem is possible

  Unfortunately, I think that the new installation of the OS is the best way to get the laptop works properly.
  Now, you want to know how to record data and the files well, I think that you should remove the laptop HARD drive and must try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you can save the files to the other HARD disk

  I think, now, you know that regular backups are important and necessary!

• Satellite P100-113 screen erased and now just keeps trying to restart

  Salvation was using my Satellite P100-113 fine the other day and then the screen went white environment of use. Now he just tries but fails to restart all the time.

  All lights light up and lights up the screen but in fact, nothing appears on the screen (no text or whatever) and then just wait a few seconds, stops and then darkens as if its just try to restart again. Can't do anything with him - so he just guard cycling and try to restart as long as you hold the power button or simply unplug and let the battery.

  Any ideas anyone? Thank you

  Hello

  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait a few minutes (40 - 60 min) and reconnect the two parts.
  Then try to restart the computer and press F2 for the BIOS.

  If you will be able to access the BIOS and set it the default settings.

  Check if this short workaround solution will help you.

• Satellite P100: Black screen but I can hear the sound of Windows OS

  Hello

  I have a problem on my Satellite p100.
  I broke the screen or something!

  When I start the computer I press the Start button and the laptop start normal. But the fact is that the computer starts but not the screen.

  The screen is not from, but the computer does!
  The screen is black, but I've heard say that im in windows beacause of the sound beginning...
  I didn't break the screen,

  Can Some1 help me? Please, I beg you!

  Maybe you accidentally switched the display on an external monitor?  :|
  Have you tried to use the FN + F5 key combination to return the display on the laptop?

  In addition, I would recommend linking the external monitor to the laptop to check if something appears on a second external display.

  If this does not help with this strange problem I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country. Maybe, display works really bad and a very small part or whole LCD screen needs to be replaced

  Good luck

• Satellite P100-286 - vertical on the screen restart and constant lines

  I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started to freeze options even with vertical lines on the screen tried recovery cd tried to re - install and after installation, that he started to do the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and this is a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend £1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have older laptops of this almost 6 years old and in good working condition.
  Y at - it a suggestion for this problem or a solution? The heat on the basis of the laptop is really hot and it's like that for centuries.

  Any help is really appreciated after spending so much like to last longer or it is a problem of reliability with the Toshiba brand.

  Hi vns.

  Hmm strange. I have ever read on these issues here in the forum with Satellite P100. Friend of me has the same model and it s still does work correctly, no problems at all.

  Do you have the same vertical lines on a screen? If so, it is certainly associated with the internal graphics card and not watch.
  By the way: you have the same problem in the BIOS or just Windows?

  With regard to the heat on the underside: I think that it s time to clean it and remove dust. You can do this using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. That's why it of not necessary to disassemble your laptop.
