  It dose not sound very optimistic the domain controller IN the witness lights usually green when DC is supplied from the AC adapter.

  If its caused by the RTC battery emty, where can I order a new (in Europe)?

  Hello

  Normally this has nothing to do with an empty battery in the CSW. In this case, you will only get an error message about low battery or something else, but the laptop should boot correctly.

  In your case I guess that it s a hardware problem. Have you ever tried to remove the battery and the AC adapter for a few hours or overnight? Sometimes this helps

  Otherwise, it would be nice to get a professional help form an authorized service provider. They can diagnose the laptop and Exchange parts of defective material.

• Satellite Pro 2100 strange colors and incorrect resolution on LCD internal

  Since a few days, I have problem with graphic in my Toshiba. External monitor works perfectly, but at the same time my laptop made of strange colors and incorrect resolution on screen LCD internal.

  This means that the graphics card is damaged? How to be sure what is the problem and what to do in such a case and not spendig a lot of money for the profesional service?

  Hello

  If the image on the external screen is seems perfect so I thing t that there could be something wrong with the graphics card.
  It might be something wrong with the screen of the laptop.
  In this case the best way is to contact the service partner allowed in your country because it can do some diagnostic tests.

  But be aware that parts like display or motherboard are the most expensive laptop parts. If you have experienced failure and if it s 100% the wrong display work so I would recommend looking for a second hand laptop with the screen on the right.

• 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.

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Satellite pro 2100 only works on battery.

  I have a Satellite Pro 2100.
  It works on a charged battery.
  The charger/power supply does not power the laptop, with or without current battery (charger/psu certainly work on an another SP2100 - charger/power supply is not the fault)
  I tried the battery in another SP2100 and it works find (so the battery isn't the fault).
  I checked the plug on the motherboard for the charger. (the joint is fine)
  A perculiar thing happens with the LED at the front.
  The battery is charged in, only the controller led lights (green, the extreme left LED) as if he's working out of the PSU.
  The charger/power supply does not have the LED lights up.

  Has anyone else had this defect?
  Can anyone help?

  Looks like that the motherboard (or power Board if it is) doesn't have.

  I bring it to an ASP and ask for a quote.

• 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?

• 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.

  Bye Bob

• Satellite Pro 2100: Yamaha its driver problem & screen is sometimes black

  Hi guys,.

  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100, SP2100 model No: PS210E-005ES-EN.
  Supposed to this laptop be designed for windows XP like the manual said: ok.
  I am facing two different questions must solve individually.

  The first is the audio, after formatting install a new copy of windows XP Pro, installed all Toshiba drivers, all the sums 2008 pilots, selected according to the model No, each driver installed fine except for yamaha ac - xg wdm.

  Whenever I try to install I get only "driver not installed" at the end of the day, I tried loads of other drivers designed for ac - xg wdm. Without success, when I go to Device Manager I only see "unknown device" which is the sound card, I guess that...
  Also updated BIOS updated to the latest version...

  The other problem is that the laptop is unable to send the signal to the screen; sometimes completely dead except the green light before.
  Also, I noticed that when it is off the battery light stays on but slightly dim... have to remove the battery, Plug and unplug the unit to be able to operate... processor reinstalled, pasted with white heatsink, no obstruction stuff... etc...

  We wish you all Merry Christmas...

  I forgot to say that I also tried to point to the diver manually, Setup goes very well, then ask yacxgc.sys.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello world!

  This time my question belongs to the CPU in my Satellite Pro 2100. Currently under construction in an Intel Pentium 4-M GH 1.9, my question is, wether I could built in a processor (more powerful sense) "superior". Have seen CPU type Intel Pentium 4 M up to above 3.0 GH. Of course, this is related to the FSB, and due to the fact that I don't know what kind of motherboard I have, I just want to know if anyone here knows the maximum.

  I know there is Toshiba Satellite Pro Notebooks with 2.2 GH Intel Pentium 4 M processors inside.

  happy to all boards

  L0nestar

  I remember well the Satellite Pro 2100 was equipped with 5 different Intel Pentium 4 - M s CPU
  1.7 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz

  So, theoretically, you can insert a 2.2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 - M CPU.

  But please don't ask me if it is really possible because the CPU upgrade on laptops is different as an update on the desktop.
  On some older portable computers, the CPU has been fixed for the mobo and it was not easy to remove it.

  That's all I can say about this case.

  Good bye
