Second Bank of RAM Tecra 9000 has a failure

About two days ago a RAM Bank broke out.
If I put the RAM in the FIRST Bank that works, but if I put the RAM in the second Bank - laptop won't start.
I have 256 MB (2 x 128) and winxp little worked slowly... but it worked... now... with 128 MB system starts at 3 minutes... and windows runs VERY very VERY slowly...

How do you think... If I change the smaller motherboard (part with CPU / graphics card / RAM Bank) it can be running? Will this work?

THX for the help!
Chris

Hello Chris

I put t see alternative to use more RAM in the first place. Otherwise, you must exchange the main card to use the two memory slots. If I were you, I would buy a module of compatible RAM (PC133 512 MB-PA3108U - 1 M 51, or PC133 256 MB-PA3086U - 1. 25 M) and unit will go much quicker. You can find these modules on eBay as used one and it will cost you probably not much.

Main card is expensive.

  • Tecra 9000 has improperly installed keyoard. How can I change?

    On my 2nd hand Tecra 9000 Pg UP / Dn, etc. end keys do not work. I poked a bit aroud and deduce what is it because the LapTops4Less have installed a keyboard key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 101/102.

    I can't get rid of the old keyboard (uninstall, reboot just let the keyboard there) and I can't find a new keyboard to install (Control Panel-> add hardware).

    Control Panel-> keyboard was told that drivers will be uninstalled when the machine is restarted. However, I reboot the machine, and nothing changes. Do not allow 'add a keyboard '.

    I can't find any keyboard drivers on the Toshiba site so please, how to get the good installed keyboard or, maybe install a standard laptop keyboard and simply use it. ?

    Hello

    In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the keyboard driver.
    The case is simple... The malfunctioning of your computer keyboard.

    I'm sure that if you replace the keyboard with one compatible, then all buttons working again

    Then contact the ASP in your country and order the new keyboard for this device.
    A keyboard replacement is not difficult, but if you n t know how to do this, ask a technician for financial assistance

    All that s I put t see no reason for a discussion

  • Tecra 9000 USB port failure

    Hello Helpers,
    My Tecra 9000 IGH with Windows XP model has two usb ports dead and taken from mouse. From what I've read, it's a defect with this model. The USB ports are on a separate module that is plugged into the main Board.

    Is the fault on the set of the USB module or on the main Board or the fault lies in the power plug. Is the fault of the joints for example dry easily repairable, where a quick touch of a soldering iron can redo them. Does anyone have a circuit diagram which would make tracing easier fault.

    I had partially circumvents the problem by using a USB card, but this often causes freezing the computer and my laptop hard drive will not work with it.

    Any help appreciated.
    Linlithgow your sunny.

    Hello Derek

    On this path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but I guess there is a contact problem. It is really not easy to say it's the problem motherboard or separate module itself. I think that it should be checked on professional way.

    The second problem is the scheme of construction. As far as I know that is not a public document and you'll be lucky if anyone has it for you. I know that you will not be satisfied by my suggestion, but I think the best way is to communicate with the technicians and talk with them. Maybe there really small problem and can be cheaply repaired.

    Good luck!

    Hello Isabelita

    Sorry, but I didn't understand your good ad. You wrote on a problem, but from your description, you just want to update the display driver. I'm wrong, or maybe I misunderstood something? I put t see any problem here.

    Good driver, you can find on the download page of Toshiba Tecra 9000 has® S3 SuperSavage/IXC video card. Install it and graphics card runs correctly.

  • Problem WLAN Tecra 9000

    Hello

    I have finally narrowed it down to my performace Tecra problem to the WLAN card and ask advice on what to do.

    The symptoms are so: If the wireless card is active (not in market, just installed and active) the PC freezes for about 15 seconds every 60 seconds. (WLAN itself works very well when the PC has not locked up.). This is no immeidate (after priming) but will kick some time in the next few hours.

    Looking at the Task Manager, the 'system' consumes 100% of CPU for three seconds separated from 4 points (which blocks everything upward) and it returns to normal for 50 seconds and then it repeats.

    If I go into Device Manager and disable the Toshiba Wireless LAN mini PC card, the problem is immediately disappears.
    When I try to re - activate the map (sometimes), the computer crashes with system 100% CPU usage.

    Thanks for your suggestions

    Tecra 9000 MB 784. 40Gb, XP SP3.
    Driver WLAN is Aegere System 7.82.0.550

  • Issue when installing fresh Windows XP on Tecra 9000

    I have a Tecra 9000 running Linux.

    I would like to install windows XP but the Setup CD I charge readers and then crashes to windows is the loading screen. I have no recovery disks or driver for this computer as I bought it used. and I don't know why he struggled.

    The SN for the unit is Z1086914G ST900-0.
    I have read forums about similar problems and think it might be the chipset driver for the HARD disk.

    I can't find a driver for nowhere so I can't try this line of thinking.

    Anyone has any ideas.

    Hello

    As I remember the Tecra 9000 does not support RAID or SATA controller that would require RAID or SATA drivers, so I put t think that your problem is related to the missing driver

    Have you tried to install Win XP SP2 from container?
    Are you sure that the HARD drive is OK? I think you should check the HARD disk for some problems initially.

  • Tecra 9000: SD card reader does not work with XP

    I've made some progress on this issue, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQS, although the main problem is that FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF memory address is shared by the SD card controller and device memory SD card. Unless we find a way to edit the registry to resolve this conflict of memory, the simple answer is that the SD card reader does not work under XP.

    I think that it would take a major surgery of the register or re-writing of drivers to move the address of memory used by the SD card device, I always work on this for now.

    Can someone support Toshiba or Toshiba Marketing explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" sticker on it, when Toshiba does fully support XP on the 9000 series?

    David

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hi David

    Unfortunately, I n t think that you will find here a Toshiba marketing person or other departments. It is ONLY a user to user forum.

    What you say, it is simply NOT true.

    The Tecra 9000 was delivered with 3 different OS.
    It was delivered with Windows XP Pro, W2k and Win98. You can order all the images of this Toshiba home Toshiba service partner. That's why Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
    Tecra 9100 has been bundled with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and also supports Windows XP!

    Of course, there are different models with a different hardware configuration, but all supports Windows XP.

    I put t know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card, but I guess you don t use the image of Toshiba. That's why you installed your operating system isn't properly. Because you are a newbie you don t know the Toshiba all the driver installation must be done in the right order and all Microsoft QFEs must be installed also.

    As you can see you must pay attention to many important things if you want to manually install the operating system.

    Good day

  • Standby power 7 Tecra 9000

    Hello world

    I realized that newer versions of Toshibas Power Saver
    available for the new notebooks Tecra. I use Power Saver 4 on my Tecra 9000. I just tried to install the latest version of PowerSaver on my Tecra 9000. Installation seems to work, but after completing the procedure, an error sound due and energy savings has not started properly, but I have no massage error. If I try to run the energy saver manually I don't receive a massage of error, that I don't have permission to start the process!
    Is it possible to install and use a newer version of the saving on the Tecra 9000? What is the latest version that I can use on the Tecra 9000? I hope that no version 4?

    Best regards

    Mason

    Hi Matty

    Can you please tell me do you have had problems with energy savings? For each series of notebook for each laptop model there are aligned in each model versions, and you can use only the energy savings that are made for your model of 9000.

    Believe me, the best version for your Tecra is the version that you can find on the CD tools & utilities. If there is no problem with energy saving, it is not necessary to make any update.

  • Tecra 9000: Problems with 2nd Battery Pack in Slim SelectBay

    Hello

    When I insert the second battery (PA3074U-1BAT) in Slim Select Bay the battery does not charge and is not recognized by the Tecra 9000 laptop: status led on the front is not lit.

    If I insert the DVD of Tecra drive for example, everything works fine.

    I know that the battery is 100% working since I put it in another Tecra 9000 occurs flawlesly.

    Why doesn't the laptop to work with the second battery? Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I put t knows exactly why the second battery does not work in your Tecra 9000, but I found another display created by your all about this Tecra 9000 and looks that you have disassembled the laptop, and maybe you have damage or not connected something.

  • Tecra 9000 display driver

    Hello

    I recently acquired a Toshiba Tecra 9000. I added a new 40 GB hard drive and installed Windows XP. The standard display driver does not allow me to connect an external monitor to extend my Windows desktop on 2 screens, so I downloaded the latest driver on this site. However, when I try to install the driver (S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1179) a hardware setup error appears saying this driver has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify the compatibility with XP. There is no other driver to select on the Toshiba site, so I installed the driver. At first, everything seemed ok, but today my laptop has projected Blue 6 times within the last hour. I've now uninstalled the driver and have not had any problems. However, because I have everything installed display drivers display is basic at best.

    No one else has this problem with the display driver for a Tecra 9000 with XP? Or anyone knows other drivers compatible with my model?

    Thank you

    It's very strange! All the drivers on the Toshiba download page are the same as the CD Utility & Tools.
    Is your TECRA 9000 a European model?
    Try using the driver CD tools & utilities. On this way, you'll be sure to use a right.

  • Tecra 9000 - WLan and new hardware issue

    I have a 2nd hand Tecra 9000 that works all fine except the Wlan

    1. WLan Bluetooth.
    the computer labels proclaim inside the WiFi or Bluetooth.

    Device Manager identifies Toshiba Wireless LAN mini PC card OK, but even if I put it on the same channel as the router it captures anything

    I'm a bit woried it can be off somewhere because I can't Fn + F8 to work. There simply nothing. Is there another way to access the installation that displays Fn + F8? Maybe his game to bluetooth or something?

    Hello

    Tecra 9000 was equipped with optional WLan and module BT.
    This means that not all units supports the feature WLan and BT.

    Anyway, if you found the WLan and BT label background o of the device you T9000 should support these two features.

    First of all, you must make sure that the WiFi network has been successfully activated. The material on the side of notebooks switch must be activated. The FN + F8 key combination switches between the BT and WLan. So if you want to use the WLan you have to use the FN + F8 key

    I put t know why the keys FN don t work on your T9000. Maybe some tools and drivers are missing. So, try to reinstall the drivers from the Toshiba page. You should find it in the ARCHIVES.

    I think the unknown device could designate the BT module and the driver missing BT.
    The BT driver here could be downloaded from this page:

  • The questions on my Tecra 9000

    Tecra 9000, XP, only previous problem a year ago, when to replace fan. Installed by Toshiba.

    So it's clear weird. My 'l' key types of himself. I should be what like word, outlook or any where where a cursor appears "l" s begin to appear by themselves - as if I was leaning on the l key.

    I thought maybe it was a keyboard hardware/issue but when I click on any menu the selected operation jumps. For example if I click on the menu start, it is almost impossible to choose the desired option as the highlight jumps up and down randomly.

    The only thing I can think is an overheating problem because it's worse in the late afternoon. In addition, it has been stupidly hot in my office recently.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mitch

    Hello Mitch

    It's a very silly situation when portable such things do on its own. If you think it may be an overheating problem, the best solution is to clean the machine from dust and leaving the camera to catch his breath. Watch closely if it will happen again.

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if this happens only with a key it is possible that there are a few hardware malfunction. If I close down the l - key I have the same situation. Menu start is almost not possible to use as the marked parts are jumping up and down randomly.

    If there is no contact with the solution your service partner. I'm sure it's just a default key L.

    Good luck!

  • Possible CMOS problem on Tecra 9000?

  • Toshiba Tecra 9000 noise

    Hi all

    I just bought the Toshiba Tecra 9000 Pentium 3 1 GHz, 256RAM of ebay. The problem is that after the start of some video applications or sometimes even opening new Web site which is in Macromedia Flash, I hear a strange noise, which I think is the hard drive. The sound is similar to the CDROM when you put there CD and he starts reading.

    Maybe someone has any suggestions about who and can help out me. Maybe I have not configured something right.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi mimi,

    have you bought also the recovery and the tool & Utilities CD with the laptop? To exclude a software failure, you need to retrieve the laptop!

    If you do not, you should your system clea. Perhaps it is a program which read or write to the hard disk at high speed!
