• Tecra 8100 white plus-ecran only starts

  I have a Tecra 8100 (disc hard 12 GB 700 MHz, 256 MB of memory) running Windows XP and Win 98 dual-boot. It was OK for ages but suddenly developed the following fault. Any help to heal would be great. When you turn it on, normally, the screen remains blank, the hard drive is ringing and the lights are on, on the front panel. No keyboard entries do start/start etc.

  When you press the off button, sometimes it'll just off as usual, at other times it will be bleep 30 times, then stop. Keep the power off button will require cutting as it should. Sometimes, lights up the screen and you can start up to Windows XP/WIN 98 etc but the PC freezes on the way to start, or when he gets there, you can't do more with it when this happens.

  The CMOS battery is down to 2.77 volts instead of the 3 volts, it should be, I took out memory, tried both sticks of memory in slots and nothing makes no difference. I think that it is an intermittent fault, but it's a common fault, like others on another site to help describe EXACTLY the same symptoms.
  EVIDENCE OF THIS PLEASE!

• Tecra 8100 does not start.

  Hello. I have this Tecra 8100 I think sell for parts, because I am crazy about her. But before that, I ask you here as a last.

  It seems the section "power" of the laptop works very well: if I plug the power, the 'dc in' and 'battery' LED will light, and the "battery" led even go from orange to green when the battery is charged.

  If I press the button "power on", "power" lights up. The hard disk starts to spin. The fan does nothing, and no "beep" is heard at all. In addition, the screen does not display anything. External VGA output or output TV shows nothing, too. I repeat, that no. a BEEP is heard, until...

  I close the lid. A long beep is heard when I close the lid, but no trace of the image on the screen.

  I have changed or upgraded nothing notebook: memory, CPU, etc.

  I opened and took every piece of it: internal battery, motherboard, sound card, leds and buttons edge... and I tried to connect our case so t may be a short circuit with no luck at all.

  What is a BIOS problem?

  The BIOS can be reflashed in this State, as the AWARD BIOS?

  Are there keys or buttons I could press to enter a kind of mode to diagnose or service?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The Tecra 8100 doesn t supports no internal memory. Two memory slots are available, and it depends on the unit memory has been installed.
  Always is it that you can improve it to max 512 MB (2 x 256 MB)

  Now to you deliver; It sounds like a hardware problem, but no one could be able to provide a diagnosis exactly what we can do is speculate on the fault.
  I think that it s a motherboard problem

• Tecra 8100 not start after replacing hinge!

  A few days ago and hinges on my Tecra 8100 receive broken - I had to take full-fledged laptop and replace the hinges. When I finished replacement and try to start, I have nothing on the screen. LED light diodes are to: power, battery, CD ROM (there are no leads to the HARD drive).
  I must put emphasis that I had the problem with the locations of memory (from last year) and I solved this problem by sticking a piece of paper between the contacts (like everyone else).

  Hello

  Who knows what you were doing. It seems at first glance that you plugged the screen isn't properly.
  But it could also be something wrong with the memory banks.

  It s not advisable to put anything between the memory and the housing contacts!
  If you use the compatible memory modules, everything should work properly!

  If you are not able to locate the failure I recommend to contact a technician who has more experience in the repair of laptop as a common user like you and me

• Tecra 8100 - does not start and no activity on the screen

  Hello

  My Tecra 8100 not start or take me to the BIOS Setup. It lights up, swirls the hard drive, but there is no activity on the display. The only way I can get something on the screen is turning with the F12 key when I get the 'ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive "... message. So I tried the traditional method of updating the BIOS, found on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. The machine seems to read the disk (that contains the downloaded BIOS) but does nothing. It is just there for centuries, with the disk light.

  The last two days I have trawled thro much views and even took the whole machine goes to check the connections loose, but I found no answer yet.

  Can someone out there please help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello huh,.

  Your laptop has a functional BIOS installed, or has something happened which caused the BIOS failure?

  If none of the usual techniques for access to the BIOS work you then I can't that assume that your CMOS chip has developed a fault or there is a problem with the motherboard you.

  Can you give more information about what happens when you press the power button.

  Kind regards

  When I start the pc, F2, press c to boot from the CD-ROM, I get in a dos environment. I went to the drive Z, "dir" and see the bios.exe that I've burned to cd. To run it I type bios.exe and continue to be 'command unrecognized file name' when I type dir *.exe, he does not see the file either.

  Maybe I forget something here?

  Hello

  Your described method does not apply to Toshiba laptops.
  Each computer laptop manufacturers supports various BIOS update procedures

  Toshiba on this page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/downloadDetail.jsp?soID=356848&PF=true
  Here you can download the latest version of the BIOS for Tecra 8100

  The 4810.25 package must be unpacked everything first.
  Then you should check the files available.
  There is a readme.txt file that describes how to update BIOS using the ISO to CD.

• Tecra 8100 - no sound except in mic!

  I have a Tecra 8100 Windows XP.

  I can't get sound on the speakers or the headphones emitted by the computer, such as beeps, CD, etc. But if I have to reactivate the microphone, I can hear through the headset, ensure that the microphone picks up (there are a few comments without microphones, proving that the speakers work physically). All volume controls are the maximum and reactivated. All devices are enabled and correctly selected in sound control panels.

  Any help would be welcome! Is the sound card, or am I missing a driver? Could not find anything else on the web with similar symptoms. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  A good questions and I never heard of this topic which s...

  I think the fist, you should start to update the audio driver of your laptop. Therefore, you can see the Toshiba site for an update:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before installing the latest version, you must remove the old version first and reboot the laptop.

  Maybe a reinstall of Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc could also be useful and in the worst case, it s only a hardware malfunction and it must swap the motherboard. :(

• Install W2K on Tecra 8100

  Hi all

  I am trying to install W2K on a Tecra 8100, but I think I'm doing something wrong, because it keeps failing.

  If I just insert the CD it starts to start a load several files at a time when the Setup starts Windows 2000 (present at the bottom of the screen) and the installation crashes with a blue screen and the c0000221 error material unknown error \systemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll
  I read that, during installation, you will need to press F5 (in the screen where you can load a SCSI or raid driver) and then choose Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC, but after doing this I get the same error.
  I have no additional material attached, it's original configuration.

  Any thoughts on how to solve this problem and get W2K on my laptop?

  Hello

  I think that this question has nothing to do with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) or similar.

  I read about the error systemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll message, and there is no particular reason for this error.
  Sometimes some service packs missing cause this problem and sometimes hardware malfunction (RAM or HARD drive) could be responsible for a BSOD.

  You are able to install Win XP?

• Tecra 8100: Advice replace please - audio card?

  My 8100 Tecra faithful and beloved which is ideal for my purposes locked up the other day, in the middle of a session.

  Restart windows resulted in blocking machine once Windows is running.
  I started in safe mode - no problem.
  I have disabled all devices useless and then through a process of elimination of selectively allowing devices and reboot.
  I found that the problem was the Yamaha audio device - that turn on the machine and it would lock up, disable that and he would normally go.
  It worked fine now for a day with the disabled Yamaha audio device.
  I tried to uninstall/reinstall the device - no change.
  I even did a fresh install of XP - no change.

  I ran XP pro for over a year without problem (so far) and I consider not audio as criticism - just a nice to have.

  My questions are:

  Is there anything else I need to do in the way of diagnosis?

  Tips for common problems?

  Can anyone with experience of fixing these machines or similar notice if replacement of all of the audio card is likely to make a repair?

  I seem to remember the last time that I opened it about two years ago to change the processor that the audio Assembly was on a separate panel but is that all?

  Note that this is a _ancient_ machine and _not_ going to be taken to a repair shop where the Bill would be more that it is worth! I am competent to replace the sound card, more than that and I will probably continue to run without audio - I don't think that it worth replacing the motherboard just for audio...

  Thank you very much in advance for any constructive suggestion.

  Well, as you know these replacements are very delicate
  However, I don t think you will be able to replace this sound card but it s my personal opinion.

  From my experience, I know that the card (audio driver) his Yamaha is not fully compatible with Win XP SP1 and SP2. Update the audio driver is necessary.

  Google for it

  I searched a bit for some instructions how to remove these boards and found this page.

  There you should find a link to the page how to disassemble the Tecra 8100.

• Tecra 8100 hangs after startup

  Hello
  My Tecra 8100 has the same problem as described some time ago: the memory locations of MB were broken and doesn't have a connection properly. Even when I put paper or anything else between the cover and the memory module, it did not work and often my laptop has not yet started.

  I bought the new MB and now the laptop still start (I can see BIOS etc.) BUT crashes after Windows XP logo with notice: windows cannot start because the pci.sys file is damaged... The names of 'corrupt' are different, not only from pci.sys.

  When I portable computer boot from CD Win (to save the system) it blocks (crashes after 2-3 minutes). I tried to boot from Ultimate Boot Cd to detect the problem, but I can't do anything - always crashes after a short period of time - never start to run tests or Tools CD.

  I think that there is a problem of memory - I have 2 modules Kingston KTT-SO100/256, I tried to place them in different locations, together and alone, but nothing changes.
  These modules have worked with my old MB all the time.

  Any ideas?
  Radek

  I read on other forums that this error can appear if the modules of memory are corrupt or not compatible or the memory on the motherboard slot is faulty.

  Well, you have replaced the Board but do you use 100% identical to that of first?
  Perhaps modules of memory are not compatible with the new Board of Directors.

  Hello

  If you want more info on this problem, check it please this page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833767/en-us Microsoft

  In my opinion the best solution is to reinstall the operating system using supplied recovery media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be absolutely clean preinstalled.

• Tecra 8100: memory slot problems

  I have a model tecra 8100 not: PT810L 12 c 42.

  I had problem with slot B mem, so collapsed to use it. Then I upgraded my RAM and inserted a 128 Mb TOSHIBA THLY6416G1FG-80 RAM PC100-222-620 slot A and used for a month. Then he suddenly went dead one day and did not boot at all.

  I took it to the point of service, they found somehow it work by sticking a piece of paper btw Aries and the cover. I used another week with ram cover duck taped it. Same story, then dead in the middle of winXP, switched off and no boot again. It took to the same service point, they tried some other RAM chipsets that it refused to start.

  The interesting thing is; When they inserted a faulty RAM in slot A and non-use slot B we get the message "memory incompatible chipset" on the screen. With the RAM mentioned above in the slot B (problem as always) and the A we get nothing, just a blank screen, DVD slot starts green lit, but nothing.

  WHAT SHOULD I DO, PLS HELP

  What is the RAM causing problems? What must a chipset that is exactly compatible with the model no pls?
  Is it the two locations of memory A or B, their change could solve the problem?

  This is the machine he itself, must it be thrown away?

  ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

  Hello

  I n know where you tried to upgrade the memory but as Lisa suggested this was not a serious technician. I changed and upgraded memory on multiple PCs, and you must use 100% compatible modules! You shouldn't t install the modules with a brute force or use strange things as a communication between the housing and the memory module.
  Possible slots are damage due to use this procedure. But I hope you're a lucky man and everything will work correctly.

  If you n t know which modules are right and taken in charge so you should contact the service partner authorized Toshiba for the right and the upgrade modules.

  Good luck
