Satellite Pro P100 - cable had burned down due to a faulty graphics card

Hello
I have a problem with my Satellite Pro P100 where to win t start, including trying to restart without the battery.

I took it for repairers who managed to get it working again. They said a cable leading to the screen had to be replaced with requiring a General Service Officer, as it has been clogged up with dust.

However once I got it home it works ok, but when I tried to access the options for Nvidia graphics display an error message came upward, which suggests that I have maybe need to install a driver of cassis, which I did immediately and restart the computer the problem has reappeared, computer wouldn't boot.
I brought for repairs for the second time and they said the cable had burned down again because of a faulty graphics card and would cost a lot to replace.

If someone has had this problem, it is possible to have just the graphics card replaced without replacing the motherboard and it is likely that the motherboard is too damaged.

You will appreciate all the comments/tips

Strange, but I think that there is no other way to replace the motherboard.
The graphic card it s soldered on the motherboard if the entire motherboard must be exchanged.

I know that's not good news for you buddy but if the graphics card is faulty, it should be replaced. :(

  • Satellite Pro M70: The game performance with Vista and Intel 915GM graphics card

    I have a satellite Pro M70 1.73Ghz with 768 MB of RAM.
    Although many would condemn the 915GM chipset (with graphic GMA900) as garbage, I was surprised to find on XP it can run quite a few games like Need for Speed Underground 2.
    I've heard some bad comments on the chipset with vista, and I was wondering if there is anyone out there who knows if I'll get the same kind of performance 3D with vista or not.

    Hey guys

    You have a Mobile Intel 915GM 8MB - 128 MB shared memory graphics memory. What do you expect?
    Check on the Microsoft website, the terms of Vista!

    It s not a graphics card performance and the games will not work with fast performance under XP and not Vista OS.

  • Satellite Pro P100: I think that my graphics card is defective

    I have a satellite Pro P100 with a GeForce Go 7600 and think that graphic design is faulty. I was playing a game that has good graphics and I was testing the FPS cause it was laggy.

    On average, that a decent graphics card must be able to give an SPF of 20-29 but my geforce go overlooked 9-13, but I have a Satellite M60-164 before this laptop with a Mobility Radeon X 1700 graphics card and he played much better give me the range good fps. But maybe the Geforce could well be a bad card in general.

    Is it possible to update the graphics in the P100? He says dedicated graphics card.

    Hello

    first of all, no can´t you don't share your graphics card because the card is "wired" on the circuit board. With dedicated was he has it s own graphic memory and does not have a main RAM memory to use as graphics memory.

    Regarding your performance:
    Would be interesting what operating system you are using. In the case of Vista, I understand why performance is not good, because vista requires so many resources that the rest of the apps/games would not get the necessary resources for the successful REALLY.
    If you have Windows XP, then update your drivers, but use drivers on sites like:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (2 GB LaptopVideo & NVIDIA Related News)
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/ (OmegaDrivers.net - home of the Omega Drivers for desktop/laptop ATI & NVIDIA cards)

    because these drivers are almost on mobile systems, and they use the most versions of real driver of ATI and Nvidia.

    Just try it and give some feedback.

  • Satellite Pro P100-188: screen keeps blinking on and off at random intervals tension

    If anyone can help me with my computer so please PLEASE publish it because I have no idea of what is happening to her.

    I just bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 - 188 Dual Core and I'm having a problem with it. Sometimes (not all the time) if the computer is plugged in or not, the screen flashes and repeatedly and then will slow down and its suspicious home.

    I have no idea what's wrong with it, I sent it to the store where I bought to be fixed and they just he sent to me, but the problem persisted. They say they have done tests on the machine and can't find anything wrong with it, but if that were the case, then it only would not have messed up again.

    What is just a software problem? The screen seems to flicker on and off at intervals irregular or not I'm in the middle of using it or not. All the drivers are the latest drivers and I admit now that I'm at my wits end.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Hello

    This seems very odd. However, you posted that this problem happens sometimes and not all the time.
    In my opinion I n t think that the software could be responsible for this issue.
    Perhaps one loses the connection cable? But believe me; It's not easy to say what's wrong without diagnostic tests.
    You have suggested that you have sent the unit to the store.

    I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Technicians must check the laptop.

  • Behavior strange screen/video Satellite Pro P100-109

    I have a strange problem with my Satellite Pro (P100-109 model pspa3e 00n009du). I edge video card printing is letting me down, so if anyone has a solution so please help!

    Yesterday, while working properly since I bought the machine, I had a strange video behavior. Black icon arround windows not updated correctly etc.
    After a restart of the system, these problems seemed resolved, but it lasted just a view minutes.
    After awhile, I got a blue screen (BCCode: ea BCP1...) BCP4:00000001 SP: 2.0) learned Internet research that his had to do with the video driver.

    Symptoms of the display:
    -Vertical dotted lines shown on the screen of the bios toshiba (variety of colors)
    -Loading of Windows show a few vertical lines as well
    -After loading the clickable elements appear black (not titles of window - no buttons shown/rendering)
    -L' screen goes black every 4 seconds
    -System responds very slowly, but sometimes it seems that it works normally
    -mouse disappears
    -After awhile that I get a black screen, system does not answer more.
    -In windows safe mode (so do not using the nvidia drivers), the display seems to work normally

    DID the next trying to solve my problem in vain:

    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the last on the toshiba site.
    -Deletion of original and installed drivers drivers Guru3D site (also used the Driverutility from the same site).
    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the original
    -Upgrade to SP3

    Uninstalling the driver (in safe mode) and so to use a generic driver only seem to work.

    Anyone know how this can be resolved or are these signs that the nVidia GeForce Go 7900 has been roasted.

    Hello

    Long story. short answer...

    It is really possible that your GPU chip malfunctions.

    I came to this conclusion because the laptop don t symptoms occur if the graphics driver is not installed.
    If the graphics card driver is installed the graphics card would go with the best performance and possibly graph questions would appear once again.

    I think that you can't do anything to what might solve this problem outside to contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

    Good luck

  • Satellite PRO P100 - 383 DVD UJ - 850 s Firmware update

    Hello

    My laptop is a Satellite PRO P100-383 with a DVD burner MAT * a UJ-850 s.

    The current firmware of my DVD writer UJ-850 s MAST * one is 1.10 and I can't write some DVD-R, because they are not recognized as DVD-R, but as a CD - R. I think it's just the firmware of DVD writer that is too old.
    Is it possible to update this with new firmware please? because I found something in the download section for my laptop. Just drivers and BIOS of motherboard, but nothing on the MAT * an update of firmware UJ-850 s.

    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Friendly.

    Philip.

    Hi Philippe

    In my opinion you shouldn't change something but use high quality blank DVD - R TDK or Verbatim.
    Maybe you use some blank media cheap and without name.

    Have you tested with known brands?

  • Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) crashed and Linux does not load

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) which have worked well since 2007 both with preinstalled Windows and Ubuntu last.

    But... Yesterday, Firefox crashes, I thought, but after the restart it was not able to load Ubuntu desktop, comes from a command prompt.

    I tried to reinstall the driver and xserver with no luck.
    Tried to reinstall Ubuntu together, but it stops while loading of Ubuntu live.

    Thought maybe, a hard drive crash so I want to wipe the entire hard drive and so reinstalled Windows, which wouldn't load after installation. Changed the hard drive to a WD250GB, but always the same - stop loading live Ubuntu and Debian and Meego...

    Has a verified memory from the live USB of Ubuntu (before loading Ubuntu), no errors.
    I have an idea that maybe the graphics, but it has no errors or defects to display install screens - graphics.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Oh, I had Ubuntu while loading, try checking the hard drive and what makes some mistakes, why I thought it might be a hard drive problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What about another system? Windows?
    Can you start and install Windows system using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say what has caused this problem
    It may be related to no hardware, a part even if the HARD drive or memory error was not detected, one of these parties may malfunction
    Worst case its something wrong with the motherboard but it s only a hypothesis.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - Synaptics touchpad problem with Win 7

    Satellite Pro P100 with Synaptics Touchpad, was now running Vista, Win 7 64 bit.
    The original driver had an option "disable when the external pointing device connected.

    I installed a Synaptics Synaptics_v14_0_3_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7 driver - 64_Signed_default.exe that does not have this check box.

    It works fine except that sometimes the Microsoft Mouse becomes works all the seconds that she or the touchpad to fight everyone. I have to disable the touchpad.
    So the next time I turn. If I do so without a mouse, I can't use the touchpad until I plug the mouse, turn it back on, then disconnect the mouse.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Try to install the Synaptics drivers and Alps touchpad page pilot European Toshiba.
    Choose the touchpad Win 7 drivers out for a satellite L500 series.

    By the way; the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 button combination. It is not necessary to have all the options if FN + F9 works very well.

  • Downgrade from Vista to XP on Satellite Pro P100

    I have a client with a model of laptop Toshiba No. Satellite Pro P100-434.

    He had a recurring problem, DVD playback that vibrates with the image and the sound is not always in line with the image. He referred twice to Toshiba and they told me that they had replaced the DVD drive. The fault was still there so he brought for me to watch.

    I thought it is best to see if the Windows XP installation would cure the problem so installed an of my licenses. He tried for a few weeks and is now happy with our performance. Then I reinstalled Vista and checked for updated drivers. The problem is back as before.

    Now, the customer wants to downgrade to Windows XP. I understand that it is possible, but have been unable to find out where I should apply for the XP product ID. My client feels terrible about the way it has so far been Treaty by Toshiba and who also believes he paid a Microsoft Windows license. He shouldn't have to pay for another. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Peter

    I read your ad with a lot of attention and also hope that we can discus things.

    At first, I must say that laptop must be Satellite P100-434 with PSPADE part number. If you want to check the DVD functionality test it with original recovery image. Achieve the clean OS install and test with the original DVD movie using pre-installed software. In my view, that it must be of WinDVD. Win DVD is used by Toshiba for a year, and this software works very well.

    If there is a problem with the DVD drive, please clarify this with the authorized service partner. Please note: test the full functionality of DVD player.

    Something about WXP: Toshiba supports Windows XP Home edition for this model of laptop and all the drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads. Before you start to install anything whatsoever from this page to the first a download? Instructionsa facilities? document and install all the stuff following this order of installations. It is very important.

    Now something about the COMPUTER products and treatment of Toshiba: with the new notebook, you purchase a license for the operating system preinstalled. This does not mean that you have? specific? key and can activate all that you want. The alternative operating system to pay for the license. Each copy has own product ID. And don't forget, your customer has misunderstood something.

    Treatment of customer is very interesting topic, but one thing I can say for sure: a lot of people hear things that they do not want to accept and is for the most part, the grounds for claims on a? bad treatmenta?. It is very important to clarify everything and avoid all the problems.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro P100-327: Audio DVD stutters

    Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas.
    Problem is that satellite Pro P100-327 won't play DVDs without stutter on audio. I tried playback preinstalled Windows Media Player, WinDVD and PowerDVD.

    All have the same symptoms, so I think that the problem is actually with the audio.

    Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this kind of problem?

    See you soon
    Martyn

    Hello Martyn

    It is not easy to give a precise answer, but I suspect that it may be because of some unnecessary background processes running. No doubt, something is running in the background and the activity of the CPU to the extreme. I had similar problem and it was because of the running application antivir (scan disk HARD and almost at 100% CPU activity).

    Check this possibility.

  • I can't write CD on Satellite Pro P100-347

    I was recently bought a Satellite Pro P100-347 with Windows XP MCE installed as a desktop computer (the store didn't inform the person who has bought a laptop that was not networked). We have purchased a full copy of Windows XP Pro and booted from the disk, formatted the hard drive and installed XP Pro instead of the ERM and then downloaded and installed all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    I had the "failure to obtain read handle" error starting but followed the recommendations on this site and removed the toshibarc.exe of the registry. Now, the only thing I still need is to get the CD of drivers, because even though I can play CDs and copy on their part, I can't write CD - if I put a blank CD in the drive and select the option to create the writable CD folder, I get an error that says ' D: / is not accessible. Incorrect function. "

    I downloaded and installed the DVD-RAM drivers, but I can't find those specifically for the CD. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jeremy Jones

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should check the properties of the disk and click the recording tab.
    CD recording option on this drive must be marked.

    I had a similar problem and this hidden option was responsible for registration on my laptop problems

  • Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when using the DVI - D connection

    Guys,

    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), recently I bought a DVI - D cable to link them together.

    Now the problem is that when I connected to 1400 x 900 LCD TV screen goes to a black screen several times (usually when there is a lot of activity or I'm resizing windows to the maximum to the minimum).

    Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV doesn't do not signal or refresh rate however I connected using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem just no matter how much I minimize my windows or put a lot of activity on the screen. To complicate matters even more, when I run the screens in "Dual screen" mode instead of "Clone" if I put one of them 1400 x 900 to 59hz in 16 bit it works fine...?

    Can someone help please that it made my head that I can't understand what the hell is the cause!

    I've included a list below all the different resolutions / screen modes I tried it and the result.

    Hello

    I hope that you have enabled user s manual supplied with your device. On page 148, you will find a very interesting picture on the supported display resolution.

    I have to be honest with you and say that I am no expert DVI because my LCD doesn't have this port, just HDMI but if I have understood you as soon as you have problem with a resolution of 1440 x 900 only. This resolution is not listed as supported, and I presume that it is not unusual to have a problem.

    Sorry, but I think that you should use maximum supported only resolution 1280 x 1024.

    Hi all

    I got my Satellite Pro P100 (model number is PSPAEE-00C006EN and the second digit of the serial number is '7') upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and since then, some bugs seem to have had place - can someone help me on the following:

    -L' screen DIMS increments, irrespective of the fact that I have saved my power settings to stay on FULL (battery or sector)

    -No sound. Once or twice, the sound card worked and settings to say this works correctly (and you can see the movement of the graphic equalizer).
    In terms of PC knowledge, I would be 5/10 (so not a dummy, but certainly not a pro! and we tried a lot of the more obvious things)

    Thank you all

    Hello

    1.) if the screen dim option doesn't properly work, I recommend you to reinstall Toshiba Value added Package. This package controls these functions, the keys FN and others. Visit the Toshiba page for an update!

    2.) did you check if the sound is muted if the equalizer work? In addition you can also try to update the audio driver might it work ;)

    This 15 port pins you allows to connect an external video monitor to the computer

    -Port DVI (monitor), this is optional and not supported by all Satellite Pro P100
    This port allows you to connect an external video monitor to the computer via a DVIcable

    -S-video output port TV
    This s-video out port allows you to connect a TV to cable s-video computer vista 4 pins.
    This port returns the NTSC or PAL signal.
