• Tecra 8000 screen goes green

  I have a Tecra 8000 running Windows 2000 with the latest version of the bios/drivers, etc.. It works fine and all, but it has this particular problem. At first boot, the display is fine, but then gets a green tint to everything. I can fix it by going into hibernation (or suspend) and turn the machine back (out of hibernation).

  Similarly, if I run an application that changes res and past in full screen (ie: MAME) the screen will return to a green tint again and will not go back to normal unless I have Hibernate-> restarts. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to plug the external monitor?
  If this is not the case, try to connect the external monitor and check if this problem also occurs on the second monitor.
  If this isn't the case, so I guess something is wrong with the display on the laptop, but if this problem also appears on the external monitor if there could be a malfunction of the graphics card or as something bad on the motherboard.
  Unfortunately I don't think that you can solve without professional help.
  You should contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
  Explain the situation to him.

• Tecra 8000: W2K - how to operate the 2 screens at the same time

  I have a tecra 8000 with win 2000 pro is installed.

  Everything works fine with one exception...
  Press the [fn] [f5] keys to use the device outside.

  Is there a way I can get it to run 2 screens at the same time (either cloned or, preferably tv being a secondary monitor)?

  If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful

  Thank you

  I'm not familiar with the Tecra 8000 and W2K operating system. If there I sno good driver on Toshiba download page (I assume W2K is not supported for this model of laptop), please try to find the driver somewhere on the net. I found some info your unit has NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av) video card.

  To use an external monitor as a second monitor, or extended display just try to use the Windows settings in display properties.

• Tecra 8000: Display driver

  Hi all, I hope someone can help with my problem. I have a Tecra 8000 and just reformat and installed Windows 98 Second edition, the problem is that I have a small window in the middle of the screen with a black border completely round. I don't have the original disks that came with it and said that I need to install the display driver, as I can change the resolution, is does anyone know where I can download this driver from, or can someone provide me with it. I tried the download from toshiba site, but its not available.
  I also tried to change the resolution, but because there is only the installed base driver I can't change it. If anyone can help.
  Thank you
  Mick

  Hello Mick

  The problem is that this device is not supported for W98SE and that is a reason why you can not find a driver on the Toshiba site. The graphics card in your unit is NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av).

  Please check on the net if you can find a driver on the site of producer of graphics card. There is no guarantee that it will work, but I'm sure that there should be no problem. Please also check the BIOS settings if there is an option called display stretching or something like that. If so he set to active.

• Tecra 8000: monitor and the HARD disk does not work - does not start

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 given to me the year last by my uncle. I live in England, but it is and bought the PC in Italy. I do not know if this causes complications, but I thought it may be useful.

  Since I got it it occasionally did not display any image of all system startup, so if I have given some time and restarted it would start working again. Happening of bagan more frequently and now I can't make it work. I have conections and found that everything was in place. Then he doesn't seem to be turning on, however when I replaced the front LED cable seems to be turning on and although I couldn't hear much the CPU was luminous heat. I opened the drive and it gave once more, succeeded him and he still wouldn't start. I had purchased and replaced the screws on the heatsink around this area but I did not handle it with many other things.

  So now, I have a monitor that does not work and a gard drive that won't start... Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Could be either the card mother, CPU or ram. The processor when it goes bad or is not locked in place (have had this before, install the CPU but forgot to turn the lock, so he cannot move) the computer will act as its startup, don't give any error and stay on a black screen. Verify that the processor is locked in place. Then remove the ram and try a stick of RAM that runs on another computer. If you try the RAM and the processor do not always start, then chances are your motherboard is dead and must be replaced. Hope this helps and that solve you the problem.

• Tecra 8000 - TV on WXP

  Does anyone know what I should do to make it work on the laptop Tecra 8000 TV connection output? I have Win XP OS installed.

  When I connect the video cable, the TV screen is all black. I can connect my desktop PC to TV the same way and it works. The laptop has Magic Media 256AV video card. I thought that maybe the problem was with the driver, but I can find them only for Win 98.
  Thanks for your help.

  AFAIK this Tecra older is not delivered with WXP which means that you use your own installation of the OS. In this case check the graphics card setting to activate the TV option.

  It seems that Toshiba doesn't support WXP for this device. Try to find the driver WXP on the card manufacturer download page.

• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

• Tecra 8000 does not initialize to top

  My Tecra 8000 will not initialize-to the top (previously worked fine).
  1. the Red "TOSHIBA" icon comes up, then it just "grey screens" on me.
  2. I can start up to the A: drive using a bootable floppy and I see the hard drive (C:\) and it seems OK.
  3. I checked the settings of BIOS (ESC, F1), and they look OK.
  4. I have Windows 2000 installed.

  Any suggestions? Thanks, Neil

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop properly the Toshiba screen.
  In this case, there should be no problem with hardware or BIOS.

  Eventually switch you to the external display? I would recommend the connection of the external monitor to check if something pops up.
  But if it doesn't help, so possibly damaged HARD drive could be responsible for this issue.

  Have you tried to boot from the CD? You see something?

• Help: TECRA 8000 Memory slot B mailfunction

  Hello
  I have a Tecra 8000 for 5 years.

  Now slot memory B seems to be no longer works:
  If it is filled, the computer does not start (are turned on, but no activity, even no toshiba logo screen)
  If it is empty, the computer starts OK with 128 MB in the slot A

  Issues related to the:
  1. is it possible to repair this and what should I check first?
  2. According to the specification, maximum memory for tecra 8000 is 256 MB. Is it possible to insert all the stack memory of 256 MB in the slot and leave the slot empty B?

  Thank you
  Michael.

  Hi Michael,

  In my opinion the slot B is defective. You're right about the capacity of RAM. Maximum memory is 256 MB of RAM. It is tested with 256 MB of RAM but apparent with both parts of memory because I have found no extension of memory 256 MB for Tecra 8000.

  It is possible that it works properly, but you must try it on your own risk. To play that's for sure, you need to connect a Toshiba Service partner!

  Good luck

• Toshiba Tecra 8000, monitor problem

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000, there is a green line with a width of 1 pixel on the screen of my laptop which does not disappear. the laptop is almost 2 years old. is there a possibility that it could be repaired? Thanks in advance,
  Mark Kuiper

  Hello

  interesting would be if the green line is permanently on the screen during startup or 'just' that Windows runs.

  But never mind, the laptop Tecra series three-year warranty.

  So in this case you can give it to a Toshiba repair for a control center upward.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8000 composite video output

  I'm running the video output from my tecra 8000 via yellow composite video connector at the rear of the unit. I thought it was as simple as pluging in both sides of a RCA (one end to the video input of a video recorder) Jack and the other end into the video Tecra.
  I get NOTHING on the screen. What I am doing wrong?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  normally, you have to pass the video signal in the composite connection.
  For this (on newer models at least) by pressing FN + F5.
  This combination toggles the 'next' display/device combination
  If the videodevice primary and standard is the internal TFT, pressing FN + F5 once going to signal internal both TFT and RGB (monitor connector). Next time you press it, it will only in RGB, and next time, again, it should go to the TV output (composite).

  Try it!

• Video output port does not work on Tecra 8000

  My Toshiba Tecra 8000 screen has cracked and I realized this was a video output port, but it does not work.

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  What video output port can you hear? The VGA port or the output port RCA-video? In both cases, the external display you seek, should give a picture.
  If this isn't the case, it should at least be configurable in windows.

  Please specify your question and tell more details on exactly what you want.

• Tecra 8000 TV out when it is docked

  The docking station for the doen't Tecra8000 replicate the TVout connector, but I have a cable to right angle that matches the TV normal port when connected and allows the cable out the host unit. TV connector normally output is disabled when it is docked and is there a setting in the registry or something in 98SE to re - activate?

  I connect my Tecra to a TV to watch DivX movies on the big screen, with the audio goes to my stereo, but I need to use the device with the Replicator, because the server containing my video files on a network, so I need the capacity of the network. I COULD use a network adapter, but then that beats the purpose of a docking station with the LAN!

  Retro Hi

  I'm a bit confused. As much as I know some Tecra 8000 have no LAN card. If your camera has card LAN and LAN port why you n t plug it directly into the TV and LAN without Port Replicator?

  I'm not sure if the port is disabled, but you can test if you can 100%. If there is no success, you must use the PCMCIA network adapter.

• Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

  I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
  is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

  I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

  Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
  I'm sorry.

  Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?
