  Hello

  I guess you mean the BIOS password that occurs at the beginning.
  Well, you can not remove this BIOS password by yourself. Only the Toshiba service partner can do.
  In this case contact service in your country, and it can remove this password.

• Add SSD to the Studio XPS 8100 with 2 HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a request similar to this one in this thread: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/disk-drives/f/3534/p/19499585/20334228.aspx#20334228 but I went a little lower on the line, need some advice and help on the Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with discs of Segate to 2 x 1 TB which have stripes.

  Configuration is SATA 1 + 2 = hard disks scratched; 3 = BluRay ROM/DVD RW SATA; SATA 4 = not used.

  I bought a Samsung SSD 840 series.

  What I want to do is add the new SSD controller and install Windows 8 without messing/breaking the existing 2 x HDD Striped Array.

  First, I installed the SSD SATA 4 and started Windows 8 to DVD but Windows 8 says it could not install on this disk because it is not bootable (SSD is not formatted/not partitioned right now but I guess that Windows 8 installation will do for me.

  If the questions are:

  (1) if I go the SSD SATA 1, could I (physically) move the existing striped 2 HDD SATA 2 and 3 and set this configuration in technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller without losing the striped table?  I don't want to find that the controller will set up a table of fees which then requires a fresh format in order to to use.

  (2) is there a documentation of this controller I could read on what concerns the reconfiguration/options and their effect?

  Thank you

  I am pleased to learn that you have to work.  Sometimes I forget that the newer Dell BIOS will allow allows you to select a SATA port for the start.  My XPS 410, being an older machine, allows me only to the ability to choose 'SATA hard drive' as boot device.  Because it does not give me the option to choose a specific port, the bootable SATA drive must be attached to the first port.

  Once a RAID has been configured, the parametric data written to readers allow the RAID ROM figure out how the RAID has been configured.  I've been through all this on a Studio XPS 435 t/9000; We had a problem after adding a new video card in the system that caused startup failure, error message "one or more of your drives are locked".  We have solved by moving readers from the ports of third and fourth (or Dell originally installed them) to the ports of first and second.  Requirement to keep records in the same relative order of port, you can of course make this transition and maintain the operational computer.

  I wish that your installation does not end with an arrangement of dualboot on its own; Maybe Windows 8 works differently from Windows 7.  The XPS 410, I'm currently using is a RAID 0 which has been initially configured with Windows XP.  When I decided to try Windows 7, I has narrowed the original partition and run the Windows 7 Installer to install in the unallocated space resulting.  The installation went normally and I found myself with a system dual boot without ever having had the opportunity to indicate that I wanted a system dual boot.  Since it was my goal, I'm not complaining, but I see that it might be inconvenient for some people who had the intention like that.  Before installation, you accidentally set your SSD on port 4 to be the first in the boot order?

  3. disconnect all external devices from the computer.
  4. remove the battery (see battery on page 27).

• XPRT: How to remove the battery cover?

  How to remove the cover of the battery on the XPRT correctly? You lift up the slot on the bottom next to the mic or what? Nothing really seems to drag...

  Hold the phone upside down, the back facing you, place your middle finger

  into the slot that is located just above the speaker.

  A little pull with your middle finger back enough to place your index finger and

  ring finger away from each side.

  Place your thumb in the center of the lid, close the Motorola "M" logo

  Pull with your index, middle and ring finger with your thumb as

  leverage and the back will be open.

  You can remove the lid of the compartment from the rest of the way by pulling

  you.

  The back door is pretty thin, so be careful not to overdo with

  your thumb, you try not to snap paused just half, the 'seal '.

  the bottom of the phone.

• What is the cheapest video card that will work in a Dell Studio XPS 8100?

  Map of 5770 in my Studio XPS 8100 seems to be dying.  The screen keeps have corrupted and I can't do anything until I restart, then it happens after a few minutes.  I have a corsair cx430 power supply installed.

  The only weird thing I've noticed is that when it is started in safe mode the display seems to work perfectly.

  This machine is my server machine, so I only need to make a minimum of working directly on the machine.

  I think I should just replace the video card.  What is the cheapest video card / lowest which will work in my 8100?

  Thank you

• Studio XPS 8100 Wifi not recognize connections

  Hello, I recently moved to College with my Dell Studio XPS 8100. The school offers wifi, which I can connect to a bit on my laptop, telephones and even consoles. However, my computer tower in the same exact place can't save even that wifi connections exist.

  While the school wifi does not seem to use some sort of proxy, I can locate and connect to it fine on my laptop Dell Inspiron positioned at the same place as my turn, so I don't think there is a problem with the routers or the school wifi connection. There are also other close connections (my roommate printer, wifi from a neighbor) that are independent of the school which are also not be picked up by my computer. Only, he has a red X over the wifi symbol and said that no connection is available.

  While at home, I had no problem and the unit has not changed since then. I don't think there is a wifi external change, so I don't think I fell anything during the move. (But if I'm wrong, please let me know).

  As far as I can tell, I've checked the Device Manager, all the drivers seem to be activated and functioning. I tried a system restore to the week last to see if an update may have changed something, but it had no effect. I also went to the Dell drivers & downloads and downloaded and installed the latest network driver (1525 Wireless Atheros WLAN Mini Card Desktops, v.8.0.0.376, A02) which was available for my model. It also did not help.

  System information:

  Network Card(s):           3 NIC(s) Installed.                           [01]: Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet                                 Connection Name: Local Area Connection                                 Status:          Media disconnected                           [02]: DW1525 (802.11n) WLAN PCIe Card                                 Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection                                 Status:          Media disconnected                           [03]: Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter                                 Connection Name: Wireless Network Connection 2                                 Status:          Media disconnected
  

  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, a computer without wifi does me no good so I'm banging my head on the wall trying to figure this one out.
  

  Well, I must say that I am a little disappointed that I have not received a response from the help here. Way to go Dell. Really feel the 'support '.

  I love how a problem one sentence posted a few days later got more than 100 responses. Maybe next time I not giving all the details of the sentence and just say "my wifi is not working help me please?

  Anyway, pretty passive aggressive. For anyone who comes across this post with the same problem, here is how I fixed it:

  I jumped open the computer because I was sure it was a hardware problem, and of course, there was a layer of dust on my ethernet card and connection strips but seemed dull and did not make a good connection. Carefully, I removed the card and cleaned, replace it. I also made sure my antenna that comes with the computer has been fully connected (believe me, this tour can not pick up wifi at all without them, to ensure that the antenna is in!)

  A few reboots later and he remained in service.

• Studio xps 8100 fan speed

  I have a studio xps 8100. The cpu fan started reving to about 3000 rpm, then back to 300 rpm around every 8 seconds. There is no adjustment of the fan in my bios, and I have the latest version of the BIOS update. I blew all the dust. I went from fans with my wifes computer and she always does so is not the fan itself.  I installed speedfan is watch without adjustments for the speed of the fans, he didn't tell my the CPU cores are running around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius and the chart for fan1 up and down from 300 to more than 3000 rpm. Any ideas on what is the problem and how can I solve this problem? The fan slows to 300 RPM will damage my CPU? Appreciate any help I get. Thank you.

• Studio XPS 8100 does not start

  Hello!  I have a 2010 studio xps 8100 (Intel (r) Core i7 CPU 860 to 2.80 GHz, 8 GB ram) and it's great when it works.  Last week, I was out of town and when I came back it would not start upward.  I can turn it on and start the fans, but it does not pass the POST and therefore does not start.  I tested the ram and it seemed ok (two beeps when trying to boot without ram, no beeps when ram is correctly placed).  The original of the graphics card died last year and I had it replaced with an EVGA Geforce GTX 750, I chose because it was one of the few cards that could work with the power supply 350w provided with your computer.  I thought that maybe the PSU was then replaced by a 500w PSU, but the problem persists.  I then read somewhere that if you SNYC date/time problems (which I was when the computer would turn on) that you need to replace the battery on the motherboard, so I did and still does not start.  I don't know what I can do, is the dead motherboard?  I tried the drain the power thing (release the button so that disconnected power for 30 seconds) and that didn't work either.

  maddygillis

  Yes, but I'm sure that the battery is not the issue.  If it was I'd get stack codes error beep (5 beeps).

  Not necessarily...

  maddygillis

  It does not pass the POST because it does not start...

  If the video card is faulty, the PC can still start but you just do nothing appears on the monitor, so I don't know that you can actually say that it does not pass POST.

  When you have tested the monitor with your laptop, did you use the same cable and video port on the monitor that you use with desktop? If you have used another port on the screen with the laptop with the office, this is not a fair test.

  Have you tried reinstalling the video card into its slot and check the connections of the video cable at both ends?

  This system has onboard video and Pluggable software component video card. So, you can remove the add-in card and switch the monitor to the onboard video port. According to the specifications, the onboard video has HDMI and DVI outputs, so assuming that your monitor supports either people, you have an easy way to test more.

  NOTE: The embedded video ports are DISABLED unless you physically remove the video card. If you cannot move just the video cable to a built-in port while the video card is installed.

• Studio XPS 8100.

  I bought a system Dell Studio XPS 8100, about 2 years, for about $800,00 and in the first year, from many problems. Against freezing up just stop without reason. No malicious software installs or something like that. After fighting it for far too long, I have just attributed to get a lemon because dells were supposed to be the best. So rather than go through the disorders associated with repair shops, I decided to just get a new. So, I went out and paid $850,00 for an another Dell. An i5 Studio XPC. Now, all my troubles would be behind me. I kept the other one just for a backup. So now, here, it's about 2 years later, and the more recent does exactly the same thing. I'm going to walk away from him for about 2 h., back and completely frozen up. It happens again and again. Need to remove the main power plug and restart to do anything. I guess my question is, are all these unwanted Dells today? I've been buying computers for more than 20 years, and I have never spent so much money for this garbage. I could get a nice HP for a lot less and probably had far fewer problems. Needless to say that Dell will never get another dime from me, or someone asking me for suggestions of computer brand. Absolutely disgusted.

  Two systems, that you got were thinner and should continue to work well. Please run diagnostics in both entities:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/F12-Preboot-Diagnostics/

  If the diagnosis then the two systems are likely due to a reinstall of Windows operating system. Preferably a clean install opposed to factory settings.

  The Studio XPS i5 especially if it is a system of Windows 8, has probably just upgraded to 8.1 Windows and Microsoft of this 'Service Pack' deployment has been far from perfect. A new installation of Windows 8.1 will correct the problems with the update.

  For the XPS 8100, it will be Windows 7 64 bit, again judging by his calendar was probably a problem when installing Service Pack 1. Follow my A install clean windows for best results, it will instruct you in the download installation media and clean install Windows updates before you install the drivers in the system leading to optimal performance, then do a new sanitation recovery partition:

• Satellite M35 Pro - how to remove the screen bezel?

  Hey everybody,

  Please help me, I was able to disassemble the computer laptop everything and now I have the screen and the top cover out as well. I don't know how to remove the display frame to remove the hinges.

  Can you please help me with this!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Well my friend, in my opinion you should not try to disassemble the laptop if you n t have the necessary experience and don t know to do this!
  You could damage other parts that you know

  You're stuck on the LCD mask?
  As far as I know the LCD mask is covered by two screws that are hidden under the joints.
  You will need to remove both seals of mask LCD, and then you could remove the two screws hidden under the seals mentioned.
  Then, you could put your fingers between the mask and the LCD screen in order to release the LCD mask plastic locks.

  But note; Be careful, don't use any force!

• Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

  I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

  so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

  the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

  but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

  hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

  * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

  * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

  Hello olekike

  Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
  View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.

  Agree with Feliks the ODD is secured by a screw hidden in the HARD drive Bay.
  So the HARD drive Bay cover must be removed to access this screw procedure is not really difficult, so you should be able to remove it easily.

  Hello

  This notebook is not know for me but has checked some sites on the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
  Then lift the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM of PJ15 card on the system board.
  Remove the two screws that fix the Board Connector CD-ROM/DVD-ROM.
  Separate the brace connector connector Office CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM CD/DVD-ROM drive

  Well, I think that it of not easy for a person without experience.
  So if you n t know how to do and you have without much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)
