Squeak inside the Satellite P100-387

I updated the BIOS in my laptop P100-387, to version 3.30 (from probably 2.20). After that, I hear a silent scream, especially on the left side of the laptop. The intensity of squeak has changed when I run glxgear (in linux with opengl support) and resize the window. The grinding is not audible when the window is maximized.

This happens on windows and linux. The State of the battery makes a difference.

I would like to know if there is a Posibility to damage the material. Also, I would like to know if you plan to perform another a BIOS update. If this isn't the case, then where can I find the original version of the BIOS (I forgot to backup)?

I don't want to send my laptop in the service of the technique, because I can't stay without a computer for 1 month or more.

Hi Peter

At first, I just want to say that if you write these questions to Toshiba, you're on the wrong place here. This is a user forum and no place where you can talk directly with Toshiba.

It is not easy to discuss some strange noises because here on the forum, no one can imagine how it sounds and the best solution is to contact the service and deal with this issue. Of course there is possibility of damaging the material, but here on the forum person cannot confirm with certainty.

One last thing on BIOS. There is just the latest version of the BIOS available on download from Toshiba site, and you will not be able to find an old. Speak with the service. They can help you and maybe all this ca be repaired in a few days. Please do not panic, make a call!

    What do you do?
    You want to install applications on the hidden partition or what?
    Why did you hide the partition?

    I use also the 8 and I must say that it s a fantastic program.
    I divided my HARD drive into 3 partitions C, D, E
    On C, I have installed Windows operating system and all applications like MS Office for example.

    On the partition D and E, I placed all the documents, files, images, etc.
    As you can see, the programs are installed on the same partition as the operating system Win and I didn't hide all partitions.

    It works very well

  • Fingerprints and the remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

    P100-387 has a fingerprint and the remote? Please, someone answer me.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not supplied with the remote control.
    But you're right.
    The fingerprints and the remote control are optional and some laptops in the P100 series support fingerprint reader and are delivered with command remotely.

  • Satellite P100-387: how reintall Windows XP Media Center Edition

    Hello

    I work with P100-387. Today, I realized, that there is a problem with the new upgrades for windows and update for Office 2007. I'm not able to open Word. Excel is workin, Power Point also. Opening remarks, the remains of screen splash long (about 3-4 minutes), the menu is being loaded, but when I try to click on something... does not.
    I tried to delete some KB, but nothing helped. I have downloade also all the updates for Office 2007 - still does not.

    If the last option is to reinstall Windows. Please tell me how to do?

    I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message (for the time being, I have 4, and I want to do all the time with all the data). My goal is to format only C: (the system) and install the fresh news or Windows XP MCE.

    Please give a solution, how to solve this problem.

    Best regards

    > I tried using the recovery disk, but I scare: there is that my HARD drive will be formatted in a single partition of message

    Well generally it of true the recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions and set the laptop to factory settings.

    But the question is; what recovery CD Toshiba do you have? I presume that it is the new version of the recovery CD because the laptop Satellite P100-387 is not very old.

    You can choose between the Standard recovery mode and Expert mode?
    Using the expert mode you should be able to choose the partition where the operating system would be installed.

    But if it is not able to choose between these two recovery modes, then I guess you have the new recovery called RECO CD and there is no other choice than to format the whole HARD drive. In this case, the backup of the data would be desirable

    Of course, you can use the original CD of Microsoft. Using this CD, you will be able to install the OS on the single partition without format the whole HARD disk.

    Best regards

  • Can satellite P100-387 - I use a solid state drive?

    Is it possible to change the disk hard original toshiba satellite P100-387 with new SSD. i.e.: Kingston SSDNow V-Series 128 GB?

    Hello

    Hmm generally, it shouldn't be a problem since the P100 supports a SATA HDD controller.
    To be honest I n t have an SSD and I can't say that an SSD can work properly, but theoretically it should not be a problem because the BIOS shouldn't differences between a common SATA HDD or SSD SATA.

  • Satellite P100 - 387 CPU fan works like crazy

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-387. I bought it with 2 friends. The same model.

    The problem exists only in 2 of the 3 laptops. It looks like this. When I start the machine everything is ok. While windows starts cpu cooler (or video card cooler if it exists) starts to work. If the fan starts to work the low speed at the highest. And did it for 5 - 10 times. Then a few minutes break and again. It's really noisy. It seems that when you insert a CD or a DVD.

    It goes like this also when windows is started. No high consumption of CPU, the fan works like crazy. Start at full speed for 2-3 seconds, then for 1 second and still the same.

    Everyone has the same 'characteristic '?

  • Try to get the HD-DVD player to work on the Satellite P100-463

    Hello world.
    I bought this baby the weekend and since I am struggeling trying to get HD-DVDs to work on it. I added the HD_DVD xbox 360 drive, but Power DVD Software Advisor continues to say that the graphic card 9Geforce Go 7900) drivers must be updated to read HD-DVD content. Now, there is no available such as newer driver installed (84.0?)

    Can someone please advise if the card supports protection hdcp anyway? Maybe my problem is another source.
    Thanks for the tips.

    Wait do you use player designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
    Hmm, I m surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba laptop.
    Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD player to play and watch HD-DVD on the laptop.
    A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVD.

    By the way: I know a Toshiba model that shipped with the HD_DVD drive.
    It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD model.
    I found a new Nvidia GeForce Go7600 8.3.2.7 Version graphics card driver update in the download section of driver on the Toshiba site
    But I put t know if it s compatible with your card...

  • Satellite P100-387: are what compatible GPU

    Can someone answer my question, pls, is it compatible with any GPU with the toshiba p100-387 out of NVidia 7600 go?
    I'll be really grateful if someone told me the answer =)

    Unfortunately buddy
    The replacement of the GPU or the upgrade is not possible if something goes wrong with the graphics card, then the whole motherboard must be replaced.
    In most cases, the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and cannot be deleted.

    See you soon

  • Possibility to update graphics card on the Satellite P100 - 10 p

    Hello

    I bought a laptop from Toshiba Satellite P100 - 10 p which has a Geforce Go 7900GS inside.
    Will be always possible to switch to the graphic card Geforce 8 series (for example Geforce Go 8800 GS)

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    so many people are asking this, and I love to explain so often. ;)

    No, it s is not possible! You cannot update, since the VGA of the computer is limited to the motherboard, oou if the motherboard has really a port special external pci - e VGA, then everything just because the modular design of the hardware, but not that you can change the VGA card.

    But don t be funereally :), there is a solution.

    There are some manufacturers that are developing a case of external graphics card, where you can put a regular vga (pci-e) card for playing games on a screen.

    Just type in google: slot external vga express

  • Fractures of fatigue on the Satellite P100-423

    Hi all

    This is my first post here.
    The hinges on my Satellite P100-423 have always been fairly rigid. Thus fractures of stress now appeared on the back of the lid near the hinges.
    I bought in Nov/06 and it seems to be now out of warranty.
    I would appreciate any advice on what I can do about it or how to get it fixed.

    I totally agree with codes for the ASP must replace it and I think that this plastic cover should t be too expensive.

  • Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

    I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

    If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
    This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.

  • For the Satellite P100 PSPAGA RAM question

    Hey guys

    This is my first post and I couldn't find any help anywhere else about this and so I have a few questions to ask.

    First of all how to find the type of ram I was wheather it's 533 mhz or 667?
    As I was looking to buy 667 sticks, that would happen if I put 667 in 533 locations or vice-versar

    Secondly, I rang a place asking a price on RAM and they said if I put more then 2 gigabytes on my laptop it would be and I quote "BLOW UP".
    I was a bit confused when this chick said that as it says in the online manual I can have up to 4 GB in my laptop.

    It would be actually the case or this chick has no idea?

    As shown in the topic I have a Satellite P100 PSPAGA 014001 or p100-400 that I thought it was called: D and I currently have 2 sticks of 1gig ATM and I have only 2 memory slots

    Would appreciate any help or advice that I am looking to buy and update in the coming days to 4 GB

    Hello

    Check your chipset that was installed in your laptop. Then check the properties and specifications of the chipset, and you will know how much it takes care of the RAM.

    With regard to the 533 Mhz or 667 Mhz;
    As Akuma already said you need to use the 533 or the 667, but I wouldn't mix the RAM modules. This could cause some compatibility problems.

    Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

    I guess that's a BIOS and a driver problem.

    Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

    I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

    While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

    The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

    I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

    If you have an idea thanks ;)

    Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
    You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.
