Satellite Pro 2100 PC card problems

I'm having some problems with a PC card with 2 USB 2 connectors (NEC chipset as far as I know, the card is 'Best connectivity' brand) and my Pro 2100 Sat.

Although the software appear to be installed properly, the card never worked correctly in slot 1: at location 0, it only works at USB 1.1 speed (making it pretty useless).

It wasn't a problem until I accidentally broke off the PIN into the Groove (you guessed it) 1.

Is there any reason why it will not work in slot 0, and otherwise, if another card work? I guess it's a cheaper option than to replace the broken PC card slot.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Tom

Hello

Well, as far as I know the PC card slot can accommodate two cards PC Card Type II (16 bit) or a Type III (32-bit) PC card.
In addition, the USB ports on these units support only USB 1.1.
Well, I guess that the PCMCIA location can t work properly because of broken pins. In this case the unit can t use the speed all of PCMCIA

Best regards

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100; battery (probably) problem

    About a year ago and a half year I bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100. Every thing worked perfect up what a month ago, and then my adapter not workt more. With a multimeter I discovered it was broken, so I bought a new (from you guys)

    But 2 weeks later a new was also broken. Then I used my father's map (it has the same specifications) which merged in 1 week.

    What is going on? Where is the problem. I think it's my battery.

    Hello

    It seems that your adapter is damaged by the oscillation of voltage.

    I can't image the laptop that has the same voltage as the AC damaged HQ with a swing of voltage!

    IF you wish, you can contact a Toshiba Service partner. They can check the power supply, I have the laptop and HQ.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: card network wireless not recognized after upgrade

    I have a Satellite Pro 2100 ad I used successfully a PCIMCIA 802. 11b card wifi for two years.

    Studying the manual, I discovered that the notebook is "wifi ready" (it has a wifi switch, a switch wifi of Alt - F8, and a section of the manual).

    I opened a Bay and found out a mini-pci slot. That's why I bought an Intel 2200 BG wireless adapter and I put it inside, which connects the sons of two antennas, located in the Bay. Finally, I was ready to son mask 11 and 13, as suggested in many forums. But when I put the card inside, unknown electrically. It seems that the mini-pci slot must be Electric.toutes impossible. My Bios is not impossible, but it.

    In another Bay close to the mini-pci card, I discovered an empty shell for a chip. Is this an impossible chip?

    Hello

    As far as I know that this unit is about 4 years old and at that time the unit is tested with the wireless network card with the PA3212U-1MPC part number. This map has been tested, is also compatible and can be used.

    I put t know what is going on exactly in your case, but new material should be recognized and the driver must be installed. I put t know what you mean exactly, but can you please explain exactly the situation?

    The card is correctly recognized and installed in the Device Manager?
    You can use FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless card?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • With a Satellite Pro 2100 wireless network connection

    Even though my work laptop has a switch (power) wireless and DIRECTED on the side (under the floppy drive), it does seem to pick up a wireless connection, or have wireless options on the corresponding section of the control panel.

    Is it a hardware problem (that is to say he is ready wireless, but has not installed) or a Windows problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The WiFi card is optional on the Satellite Pro 2100.
    In this case, it is possible that your device has all switches but no card WLan.
    I recommend you to check the Device Manager. There you should find the WiFi card network card is installed.

  • Satellite Pro U300 Expansion Chassis problem

    Hello fellow users.

    I am trying to use an expresscard with my satellite pro expansion chassis. Problem is that in Device Manager, I am getting error code 12 for PCI bridges in the chassis and the error code 31 for the PCI bridge on the card I want to use in the expansion chassis.

    I installed latest version of the BIOS but cannot solve the problem.

    Slot for Express card in my computer is fine because I use an Ethernet Express of 1 card G without problem.

    Hunting on the web, it seems that the problem is related to the BIOS being unable to handle the number of PCI bus in the system, refer to the knowledge base article 942959 Microsoft. This article explains the problem and how to Vista and W2008 reslove.

    I am running XP and work around, that they said, does not work. Upgrading to Vista is not really an option as software I want to use is not yet the version for Vista.

    My only options left at this stage are fresh install XP to see if it corrects the problem, or vista fresh install and hope I want to use drivers/software works under Vista.

    Has anyone else seen this problem, got any other suggestions.

    Thank you very much

  • Satellite Pro 2100 two cables behind the screen

    Hi, first post so be gentle with me please.

    I have a Satellite Pro Satellite Pro 2100 and the hinges are shot, so I bought a 2100 piece to Exchange.
    Everything was ok except that I have two sons that I can't find a place to plug in. A black white and they are attached to the small square gold Ribbons that are glued to each top corner at the back of the screen. The other ends have little, but when I stripped the laptop they were in bulk and I do not see where they are going.

    However, the laptop works fine without them.
    Can anyone help please?

    All laptops with WLAN have this. WLAN antenna is placed behind the screen and these two wires must be connected to the WLAN antenna.

    If your laptop doesn't have WLAN card put just the cables aside and everything will be OK.
