Satellite P100 - time clock keeps changing

The clock on my Satellite P100 continues to change (running Win XP MCE) randomly during the day while it is running.

When I start the PC in the morning, clock's time similar to when I turned off the day before.

I use my PC in my office connected to the power supply. For the first months of ownership I left battery off the computer because I wanted to preserve his life. I don't want to run on battery and go through a process of charge-discharge throughout the day while I'm working. I was wondering if this could be the problem and now keep the main battery plugged all the time but the clock still continues to change.

The clock doesn't change by specific hours, but at some point almost randomly sometime before the correct time. Sometimes a few minutes, sometimes hours.

I installed and run all of the last anti-virus, spyware etc etc and nothing is detected.

Looks like my faulty CMOS/RTC battery?

This is my work computer and I can't afford to be without it for more than a day. I don't want to go back with all my data on HDD business.

Someone knows how it is easy to replace the RTC battery yourself (I know it will void the warranty)-I am an experienced PC "Builder" and fortunately can disassemble computers etc.

I hope that someone can offer some advice. Why Toshiba is not a help line that you can ask for help?

Hello

Maybe it's not a RTC battery problem, but the problem of BIOS?

I found this Toshiba on a resource conflict real time clock in the L100 and P100 notebook Device Manager

It is very interesting, if this resource conflict could have a bad influence on the time of windows.

  • Satellite P100: cover orange keeps cracking

    Hi all

    The problem I have is on top of the orange cover, in the corners of the hinge, cracking constantly. She has had 2 replacement lids and now the third party did the same. The last time it was being repaired. The service center had for more than a month, just to replace the cover.
    Other problems I had PCMCIA port range does not, so he returned for a new motherboard and keyboard, (had a problem with keystrokes)

    Oh and just yesterday the 0 has stopped working on the numeric keypad.

    What do you think I should do (except put it on ebay)?

    [Edited by: admin]

    I completely agree with Garrett.

    A few words on the long repair time a long time ago that I send my laptop for repair. Everything was resolved and since then everything is ok
    I waited as 4 weeks for my laptop but the technician of my country told me that the motherboard was out of stock and it must order it directly from the head stock Toshiba. It takes about 3-4 weeks...
    I think the repair time depends on the part to be replaced and the availability of part it's ok...

  • Satellite Pro M30 - real time clock shows wrong time

    Hello!

    I think my cmos battery is going to die soon.

    someone has an idea, how this cmos battery can be changed by myself?

    Thank you
    Reinhard

    Hello Reinhard

    I agree with you. It is time to replace the CMOS battery. It is not easy and the machine must be dismantled. If you are not familiar with the procedure for disassembly, it can be dangerous. A small mistake can result with damaging material.

    If you want to do it alone, you do so at your own risk. Be sure to use the right battery. Maybe you won't believe, but if you use a battery hurt it could cause battery explosion, or other damage.

    I'm not 100% sure, but the RTC battery must be placed on the left side near the touch pad. If you want to only please be very gently. The laptop parts are very sensitive.

  • Standard user changes time clock to circumvent the time limits set in the parental controls, how to stop this?

    Original title: clock change

    I put deadlines for my daughter in the parental control. my daughter just changed the clock time to get around this. It has a standard user account and I have the password to the administrator account, which she could not possibly know that I keep changing. How does do and how can I stop this happening?

    The date and time system can be changed using a control panel applet - timedate.cpl file.

    If you have the administrator account, you can refuse his user account access to the said folder.

    1. go to start > type cmd > press and hold shift + Enter (this will open CMD with Admin Access)
    2. on your type CMD in the command below

    Cacls timedate.cpl /p : n

    3. press ENTER.

    The command will refuse access to user account in the file so that it could not change the time and date.

  • How can I change/turn off the led under the speakers on Satellite P100?

    How can I change/turn off the led under the speakers? (in Satellite P100 (PSPA6E))
    Now I see the light only in the left side, but when I bought the computer left and right led line lights blue under the speakers.

    Gazz's right. It is not possible to switch off the LEDs. If just one LED is on the other must be faulty. Contact the customer Service of your country partner. I'm sure they can disconnect one too if you n t need her.

    Now my keyboard sticks to many buttons. I wanted to clean up. The first button, I've pulled out was RET. But now I can't it again.
    Is there anyone who could explain to me how to get out in it the right way?
    Or: Is there a way to change the keyboard? If Yes: how much is a new keyboard?

    And are there Tips how to clean my keyboard shortcuts? They are also sticky. :/

    Hello

    Unique key replacement help much. The entire keyboard needs to be replaced. Like Stefan said please contact partner in your country. You can try to exchange it alone but you will lose the warranty.

    I recommend you to make a call and ask how much the replacement will be fresh.
    In any case, the keyboard is set with 6 screws and placed undercover KBD, but is not easy to remove this cover. It is fixed with a screw and I don t know exactly where this screw is placed.

  • Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to the VGA & DVI port at the same time?

    Satellite P100 comes with two port external monitor. One VGA and one DVI. Can you have two external monitor works at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal screen working at the same time (for a total of 3 screen at the same time?

    Here's what I confirm:

    Internal display + display DVI connector
    OR
    Internal display + screen VGA connector

    Is it possible to have:

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector display?

    OR

    Display connector DVI + VGA connector screen + internal display?

    As far as I know, this is not possible and you can use a DVI or VGA port.
    Output signal can be used only a single port for external monitor.
