Satellite Pro 2100: my device is very slow

• Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
  The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

  It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

  I have already tried:

  -Update the Realtek drivers.
  -Disconnect the firewall;
  -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

  Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

  Thank you!

  Hi Patrick,

  If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

  Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

  By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

  Hello

  At first, I must say that on this forum you will find many threads having the same content and also with good reviews how to increase the performance of s for laptop.
  What you need is the optimization of the OS.

  Laptop with factory preinstalled OS with of many Toshiba tols individuals, utility and also different additional software. Many of them start with Windows and run in the background. It is logical that the computer's performance will be slowed down.

  Each notebook with factory settings also allowed installation of windows update. With other words, it is set to automatic. It is logical that after short time of period notebook, will start all of the updates in the background. You will know what is going on, but because of download and update for computer laptop installation reacts very slowly.

  As a general rule it is no problem at all and I don t know why you sent your laptop to the service.
  Anyway check it please http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947
  You will find an interesting thread on slow start. It's the old model of laptop, but the principle remains the same.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

  I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
  He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

  I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

  but the laptop is really really slow.
  It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

  the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

  but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

  I have trie all to my knowledge.
  I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

  I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

  He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

  My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

  can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

  > anyone can confirm this?
  Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
  Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

  First laptop computer is an oldie.
  The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

  I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

  However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.

• Need to find the cmos on Satellite Pro 2100 battery

  I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

  The brand is a Satellite Pro SP2100, model PS210E006P9-EN number, but I can't find this brand/model on the Toshiba site. The closest I can find is Satellite 2400-103, part number: PS240 - T 014, 1, that seems identical.

  I tried to use the identify tool of Toshiba to detect what is the laptop, but that fails to provide results.

  I also need to find out what food is for this unit as the current is defective and exposed wires.

  The adapter of current with her is PA3201U-1ACA, the problem is that this card has another card on the end to fit the power plug to the back of the laptop. The connector at the end of PA3201U is too thin to fit.

  Hello

  This laptop is very old and the name of this machine is: Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E

  > I have a laptop that is not keep date/time settings and I need to identify the laptop to find the correct instructions to take apart.

  Usually the CMOS battery can be charged. You must connect the power adapter and the laptop must be powered for about 12-14 hours.

• Satellite Pro 2100: TEAC CD drive problem - cannot access CDs

  Hey

  I got my Satellite Pro 2100 for another few years.
  So far it has worked well.
  However, now the cd player is always displayed the yellow light just after trying to load a cd, followed a quiet thump. This means that I can not access the content of the cd (audio or data).

  The drive is still recognized by Device Manager, and I'm told it works well - I know better however, it most certainly isn't! the drive will still appear in my computer, and I can always try and discover the contents of the cd inserted, which is always empty!

  Ant help or advice would be most appreciated, because I really want to re-preparation of the system!

  Hi Simon

  The satellite Pro 2100 is an oldie ;) and I guess that you pointed out the CD/DVD drive all the time long.
  I would not be surprised if this player is dead. For me, it looks like the end of the device.

  Until it must be said that I'm afraid you need to replace the CD/DVD drive with a new m.

• Need new driver NVIDIA for my Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  Anyone know if there is a newer version of the NVIDIA graphics driver that comes with the satellite pro 2100? I looked on the Toshiba downloads section and on the NVIDIA site, I have not had any look to find everything. They simply stopped updating this driver?

  Any help will be thank you very much and I do a search before posting, but haven't found anything.

  Thank you

  Hello Steve

  Satellite Pro 2100 is fairly old unit. It is about 6 years old. Graphics card is NVidia GeForce4 420Go with 16 MB of memory only. Now the question: do you really want that Toshiba should support unit of 6 years with the latest NVIDIA driver? Please don't be crazy on me, but I really don't understand what you expect.

  A more interesting question to me is: for what purpose you need new driver? You want to use with newer games, or maybe you some graphic problems watching movies DSVD?

  Hello together!

  For your information:

  Upgrade memory today to 2 Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH, 256 MB DDR - RAM initially), both up to 1 GB, all fine and no problems.

  Wanted to just end rumors "only 512 MB all together" or even less.

  If you are looking for, don't forget to think of the specifications:

  DDR-266 (PC2100)
  DDR-SDRAM, SO-DIMM
  200 PINS
  2.5 CL

  concerning the frequency of the RAM, building shape etc.

  Greetings

  L0nestar

  P.S.: Don't think that a debate is necessary, thread could be closed...

  According to the specifications of the computer laptop Satellite Pro has two memory slots and can be upgraded up to 1 GB. It is very useful to have confirmation on the RAM upgrade for this model of laptop old but still good.

  Good day.

• Update BIOS on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro 2100 (model #: PS210E-0053R-EN) and recently bought two 256 sticks of RAM for it, which according to the manufacturer, are compatible. They do not work, and I have I'll return them, but before the company was asked to take certain measures, i.e. to retest them and also update the Bios. I have never updated a BIOS before and am a little worried about something bad, or choose the wrong update.

  No one knows who is right on the section of the site? I know there's a Satellite Pro 2100, but which is compatible with all the models of this laptop?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 2100 comes with two different processors (cel or PIV) but the model number is the same (PS210E). This means that you can use the update of the BIOS for both models.

  I recommend you do traditional BIOS update using the floppy drive. As described on the page of the Toshiba BIOS update, it is very important that you refer to the Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before you continue.

• Can I get my satellite Pro 2100 high-speed USB 2.0?

  I have a new MP3 Jukebox that can operate at USB 2.0. Do anything to get my Satellite Pro 2100 to work at speed 2.0 that it currently only works with USB 1.1? Sorry, but I'm not very technical.
  Hope someone can advise me
  See you soon

  Hi Bob

  The best solution for you is to buy a PCMCIA USB 2.0 card. As far as I know there are cards with two or four USB ports. This card is not expensive and the installation is not complicated.

  Hello

  You built the only card or wireless card was already installed? As far as I know, this unit is ready wireless and the wireless card can be built more.

  If the wireless card is installed properly, it must be recognized by the system and shown in the Device Manager, but in your case, the card is not recognized correctly.

  Please give us more information.

• A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hey,.

  I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

  I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

  Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

  (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

  Or

  (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

  I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

  But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

  So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

  It's my laptop;
  [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

  This laptop will do the job don't you think?
  Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

  I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
  It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

  What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
  I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

  So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

  I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

• What card WiFi could be compatible with Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E

  I have an old Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E-005ES-FR part number and trying to locate a Wifi card to fit.

  If someone can advise on such a map, can you?

  Hmm, the satellite Pro 2100 seems to bear the USB 1.1.
  There could be a slow data transmission using a USB WiFi key. So I advise to use a wireless network card internal minPCI as suggested above.

  I discovered that this Kit (PA3212U-1MPC) wireless LAN card could also be used too.
