• Several questions on Portege R500

  I got this new Portege R500 (PPR50E) and the fan noise is driving me crazy! I can't believe why the processor should run all the time so warm, even if it isn't on the heavy load. Even online light surf starts the fan of rolling and moaning of it are really annoying. I tried to find a software that puts the CPU halt state, as CPU Idle, but no chance, none of the old applications work with that CPU. The temp is always around 60 ° C which is quite a lot even thought I've customized power management profile to use only the lightest load.
  Someone has ideas how to force the processor to stop the State?

  I am also struggling to get the standard 1280 x 720 60 Hz resolution to work for an external projector, but that's another story... Calculator of DTD disobeys his magic and now I have to start hacking the registry manually...

  Then sound card driver. I would use two audio apps at the same time, but the driver does not allow the sharing of resources, which means that I can't use Amplitube and media player at the same time.

  The CPU is supposed to be dual-core 1.2 GHz with 2 GB of memory, the machine should work pretty well. BUT Vista spoil the fun! This is the second time that I am using Vista on a laptop and now I am quite convinced, is an eater of great resources and no good OS. R500 should come with Win XP SP3!

  I'm sorry because I have to whine, but I will return it to the dealer if there is no solution to these.

  Hey Buddy

  The machine is known to me. It s a large notebook small and powerful.
  Fact is that the laptop was equipped with a powerful Intel Core 2 Duo CPU processor that produces a lot of heat.
  To my knowledge, the internal temperature (not only the temperature of the CPU) varies and can increase and decrease at the rate of 15 degrees C.
  Fact is also that cooling modules are not oversized due to the size of small notebook and the unique fan must therefore turn more quickly to ensure cooling properly.

  He should also know that the new series of portable comes with the operating system preinstalled Vista and this OS needs a lot of resources.
  It is no secret.

  Of course, you can install you own Win XP on the R500.
  I think the laptop wouldn't create this heat using the XP and the cooling modules should run a little slower.

  Installing XP is possible and all Win XP drivers are located on the European driver Toshiba page!

• Question about upgrade CPU on Portege M100

  On my Portege M100.
  Can I switch my Banias 1.2 Ghz chip to a Dothan 2.0 Ghz chip now that BIOS 1.5 supports Dothan?

  Hello

  I agree with robin. Computers mobile processors are usually not extensible for different reasons. One of the serious reasons is the BIOS compatibility and the second reason is the dissipation of heat.
  Faster CPU produces more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.

  To cut this story; upgrading the CPU is not possible

• A keyboard for a Portege S100 will work in a Portege M100?

  Quick question - a keyboard for a Portege S100 will work in a Portege M100?

  Page layout looks like. Although a different color.

  Hello

  I think that you can not use the same keyboard as the Portege S100 supports the year-easy-to-use 84 keys (US) or 85-keyboard (UK) and the Portege M100 supports the year-easy-to-use 85/86-keyboard.
  In addition, the S100 connector supports the keyboard interface 34 CN3230 pins and the M100 supports PJ3230 34pin keyboard connector.

  So maybe this could be a problem.
  I recommend using the original keyboards published for each laptop model.

• Portege M100 - no audio output device

  I recently acquired a Portege M100 1.2 ghz model no PPM1DE-0000Y-EN. The hard drive had been cleaned, so I installed Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I don't have a utility Toshiba and driver CD.

  For the moment, my main problem is that there is no sound and I get messages of "no audio output device. I can watch a DVD but once again his silence as the internal speakers do not work. I am a novice, so if you have any tips please try to not do not technical but in simple terms that I can understand. There are probably a number of questions that I haven't discovered yet IE Power Saver, etc. without wire.

  I think you're missing the SOUNDMAX program to render sounds. At least that's what I had with my M200, but apparently M100 and M200 are quite similar. Installed SOUNDMAX SE will solve the problem. The easiest way is probably to get a sort of utility CD.

  And it's probably the only one too. Even if make you it work without, you always end up without the other Toshiba Utilities (which can be quite crucial, as power saving, ability to use the buttons and the FN keys, possibility to use the touchpad, etc..).

• Portege M100 just run half the speed - 600 Mhz

  Hello
  I have a Portege M100 that I found very slow until I discovered it was running half speed (IE 600 mhz). I tried everything in the Bios and in Toshiba utility, but nothing to do: always clocked at 600 Mhz.

  Is there something I missed? y at - it 'special' something to do to allow him to run at full speed?

  I thank the of in advance to anyone who helps!

  Hello

  As already suggested that the firmware must be updated! This portable strange behavior happens especially if the technician forgot to update this laptop runs only at 600 MHz.

• Wireless card not found - Portege M100

  I hope someone can help me, I'm pulling out my hair!

  I bought a used Portege M100 (model number PPM10E) and is in serious trouble to install the mini-pci wireless adapter that comes with it.

  When I turn on the wireless switch on the front, light on the cover comes in orange.

  Windows XP (Pro, SP1, and SP2 update) does not see the device. Device Manager acknowledges 2 devices with problems: 'Network controller' and 'other devices '.

  I downloaded the drivers all listed for this model and installed (or tried!) in the order specified in the Installation Instructions file (from the same page of drivers Toshiba download for this model).

  I also installed Everest Home Edition, and he sees the wireless adapter and tells me that it is an Intel 2200 BG.

  I tried to get drivers updated Intel and driverguide.com, but none of them will have, either - not even on a clean install, substituting them the driver provided by Toshiba.

  The wireless card works perfectly in other non-Toshiba notebook, also running Win XP Pro - so I guess that there is a conflict of software/hardware with this Toshiba laptop!

  I tried to 'update driver' on 1 2 problem devices) by pointing their (via Device Manager / driver update) each downloaded game (uncompressed) file. No joy.
  (2) to connect to my router via an ethernet cable and allowing Windows to search online for drivers. No joy here no more.

  When I try to run the Atheros Client Utility or Config Free, they can't find any wireless adapter on the system.

  Can someone give me advice on what to do next? Specifically, I bought this machine because I need to use wireless.

  Thanks in advance (and hope!)

  Teddy

  A few questions:
  1. you said that the wireless network card works in the Toshiba laptop not. Did you change the card WiFi of your Toshiba to the other laptop?
  2. you are not sure if it's an Intel or Atheros Wlan card (otherwise it makes no sense to install a client with an Intel Wlan card atheros). Could you please send the PnP ID of the device (DeviceManager-> properties-> details-> Hardware ID)?

• Portege M100 - video player does not work

  Can anyone help?
  Had to rebuild my beloved Portege M100, after a hard disk failure.
  Everything works well except the video player.

  Tried using Windows Media Player and Intervideo Win DVD, but the two close as soon as the video starts.
  WMP has said that this is a problem with a codec called ivivideo forming Intervideo and Corel as they are now.

  However, their site is less useful and I can't find a way to update.

  Suggestions anyone?

  Hello

  Try VLC Player.
  It s small tool/player which can be downloaded for free.
  It plays most files smoothly.

  In addition, you could install some packages of codec as K-Lite codec pack

  Good luck

• Portege M100 BIOS supports more than 128 GB of HARD drive?

  subj

  Portege m100 BIOS does support HDD > 128 (137) Go?

  What IDE controller has been integrated?
  You could install a tool of diagnosis of equipment as Everest home edition and could check your hardware specifications.

  But I guess the protégé M100 supports South Bridge Intel ICH4 - M and the IDE controller must support the Ultra ATA 100/66/33

  However, you must still install these diagnostic tools to ensure a what IDE controller has been installed.

  The fact is that since ATA - 6 (also known as Ultra DMA/100, Ultra DMA 5 or Ultra-ATA100 mode) the 48-bit LBA is supported which allows to use more large 128 GB drives

• Portege M100 - none of the drivers work

  None of the Vista drivers work for Windows 7, so I switched to XP Professional and always SOME drivers don't work?

  Is there a special way to install after installing Windows?

  see you soon

  Hi ollie,.

  It would be interesting to know what you mean with none of the drivers work. You get an error message or what is exactly happening?

  Regarding the issue of Windows 7 I think that it of normal that Vista drivers do not work for Windows 7 because the Portege M100 is very old notebook, so I doubt that Windows 7 will work on this subject.

  Moreover, the Toshiba site, you will find an installation instructions document. Use this list a driver installation order is recommended.
  Check this box!

• Portege M100 PPM10A-0008GP & PPM10A-09E6M has the same motherboard?

  Portege M100 PPM10A-0008GP & PPM10A-09E6M has the same motherboard?

  Thank you very much!!!

  Portege M100 PPM10A-09E6M seems to confirm this hardware configuration:
  Intel Pentium M 1.3 GHz LV
  Graphics Controller Intel 855GM
  RAM 512 MB (installed) / 2 GB (max) - DDR SDRAM - PC2100 - 266 MHz
  Hard drive 80 GB

  The Portege M100 PPM10A-0008GP seems to support the Intel Pentium M 1.2 GHz, 256 MB and 60 GB HARD drive.

  But it seems that the motherboard must be the same.

• Portege M100 stop when unplug the a/c adapter - battery problem

  Hi people,

  Laptop for my wife, it's a Portege M100 3 or 4 years, which is seems a good machine, although the hard drive failed and had to be replaced recently.
  However, there is also a problem with the battery charging.

  The machine works very well when connected to AC power whether the battery is or not, but as soon as you remove the power cable it stops working immediately, it is to say everything, including the fan stops immediately.

  The sign of the battery on the top edge of the screen/cover blinking orange.
  I figured it was the battery that had given up and bought an another toshiba (IE not a compatible but the real thing) and he slotted in but still.

  This problem above the hard drive has been changed also.

  Any thoughts or ideas?
  Thank you very much

  > The sign of the battery on the top edge of the screen/cover blinking orange
  Are you sure that it is a LED battery?
  AFAIK the battery LED indicates the State of charge of the battery.
  Green: charging completely charged and orange way. But in both cases the LED does not flash/blink.
  Only the power adapter LED will Flash orange if feeding malfunctions and the voltage is abnormal.

  But if the battery LED flashes then I guess this code refers to the battery failure.
  You should always buy a battery recommended by Toshiba and not other 3rd party products.
  The manufacturer of the HARD drive is not important, but if the battery is dead so you can buy one that is part supported by Toshiba

• Portege M100 runs at 600 MHz after the BIOS/FRIMWARE upgrade

  Hello

  I received a Portege M100, this week, installed Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) on it and almost everything was fine.
  Then I upgraded to the latest BIOS/FIRMWARE (from V1.10 to V1.50) and now my Pentium M 1200 MHz running at half speed.
  I can not load also cpufreq, which controls the speed of the cpu.

  I see this problem is already known, then:
  It will come a new BIOS/FIRMWARE fix for this?

  What do you mean by "I saw that this problem is already knowna? ¦ »
  Where do you find the description for a same problem?

  Usually the BIOS update should not have any influence 'wrong' on the speed of the CPU!

  Have you checked the BIOS option called "dynamic CPU frequency mode".

  This option is also in the Toshiba HWSetup. You can also switch between 'high' and 'always low '.

• Portege M100 - Toshiba utility to install hangs

  I have a Portege M100 (prob M100-112), who has been 'hacked' all by its former owner, and I'm trying to re - install all the tools and drivers.

  In particular, I would like to upgrade the BIOS to v1.50 (1.30).

  The tool to upgrade the BIOS (windows) complains that the common modules are not installed, but when I try to install the common modules Installer crashes just with no visible user interface and no mistake.

  I have re-installed all the points listed in the recommended order - but not luck :-(

  Any help and constructive welcom
  Dave

  Constructive help?
  What else can you get on this forum? ;)

  Hi Dave

  I put t know the order of installation you used and what elements have installed you before, but it turns out that the common modules must be installed first before you start to install the other Toshiba tools and utilities.

  I assume that you try to install Windows XP Home edition, so here's the order of complete plants:

  Driver Chipset
  Display driver
  Audio driver
  Network driver
  Driver Modem
  Network wireless driver
  Atheros Client Utility
  Cisco Aironet Client Utility
  Infrared driver
  Common modules
  Power management
  Button controls
  Console
  Utilities
  ConfigFree
  User manual
  DVD player
  Bluetooth stack
  Utility to change display device
  DVD-RAM driver software
  Mobile extension
  Skins for Windows Media Player
  SD memory card format
  SD Secure Module
  Wireless Hotkey Utility
  Hotkey for display devices
  Sun Java Runtime Environment
  Management Console

  Have you used this order?
  Are you trying to install THIS common modules?
