• Tecra 8000: Question on the HARD disk and the password

  Hi all
  A market recently my son bought an old laptop Toshiba T8000.

  Personally, I have absolutely no knowledge of the laptop myself as a desktop is everything I've ever used.
  However, I recharged the battery and the power, it asks for a password, even if what I believe to be the HD is missing (Vacant housing, left under the keyboard and behind the battery)

  Our local store offers him an incredible £121 a new HD

  HA wasted his pocket money on it or can he get a password and the HD at reasonable price to fit?

  Any help is greatly welcomed.

  BREZ.

  Hello

  Especially the password appears at the beginning of the startup procedure because the BIOS password has been set.
  Unfortunately, you cannot delete or remove the BIOS password if the old password of BIOS is not known to you. Either contact you the person who sells you the device and ask for the password or you will contact the service partner in your country for a deletion.

  I guess that's a Tecra 8000 with the number PAT80XE.
  This unit is a little older and so I think that hard drives are rare, a little so more expensive.
  By the way: the device supports an EIDE HARD disk interface

• Tecra 8000: Question about the possibility of upgrade

  I have a tecra 8000 with a pentium 2 300 mhz processor and I was wondering if it would be up to class? any help would be appreciated thanks.

  Hello

  Well, in general it is not possible to upgrade the CPU because the cpu is fixed and soldered on the motherboard. But sometimes the CPU is only mated. I'm not sure about this device, but as far as I know, this device was shipped with Pentium II 400 233 MHz, 333 MHz and 400 MHz Dixon.
  But if you want to upgrade the CPU to change many other parts because the plu processor produce more heat and this process can cause overheating problems.
  So if you want you can request the service of Toshiba for details.

• Tecra A7 still sees the AC adapter - even if not connected

  Hello

  I've had this problem for awhile now. It happened quite suddenly, one day it worked great, the other day and the following days later, it didn't. The problem is like this:

  My Tecra A7 still "sees" the adapter connected, even if it's not! This can be quite annoying if I turn the laptop on its battery, because it will automatically run on full power b/c of the Toshiba power management utility is installed. That said, running at full power, the battery is discharged very quickly. Beside that, if it is disconnected from the net power for some time, the laptop battery is draining, even if turned off all the time!

  Of course, the problem is not huge. I can always manage the electricity utility myself if necessary, but as you can imagine this probem is quite annoying. And I really want a solution to this problem.

  If someone knows the solution?

  Thanks in advance,

  Arjan

  Hello

  That means the power icon in the taskbar says?
  Have you noticed changes especially after connect/disconnect the power adapter?

  I think it might be a software problem
  I mean the energy saver.

  You he should remove the system and needs to be reinstalled the version downloaded from the European driver from Toshiba site.

  See you soon

  Hello

  The material must be able to handle the Windows XP but I think that you will not find the Toshiba XP drivers for this device.
  Therefore, it will be very difficult to run Notepad with all Toshiba Tecra 8000 features.

  However, I think that it of possible to install Windows XP but the operating system will not work with maximum efficiency.

• Tecra 8000: monitor and the HARD disk does not work - does not start

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 given to me the year last by my uncle. I live in England, but it is and bought the PC in Italy. I do not know if this causes complications, but I thought it may be useful.

  Since I got it it occasionally did not display any image of all system startup, so if I have given some time and restarted it would start working again. Happening of bagan more frequently and now I can't make it work. I have conections and found that everything was in place. Then he doesn't seem to be turning on, however when I replaced the front LED cable seems to be turning on and although I couldn't hear much the CPU was luminous heat. I opened the drive and it gave once more, succeeded him and he still wouldn't start. I had purchased and replaced the screws on the heatsink around this area but I did not handle it with many other things.

  So now, I have a monitor that does not work and a gard drive that won't start... Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Could be either the card mother, CPU or ram. The processor when it goes bad or is not locked in place (have had this before, install the CPU but forgot to turn the lock, so he cannot move) the computer will act as its startup, don't give any error and stay on a black screen. Verify that the processor is locked in place. Then remove the ram and try a stick of RAM that runs on another computer. If you try the RAM and the processor do not always start, then chances are your motherboard is dead and must be replaced. Hope this helps and that solve you the problem.

• Tecra 8000 - connection of the hard disk

  Hello

  My old Tecra 8000 dropped last night after 4 years loyal service. She simply refuses to start to start most of the time. I think that this is a motherboard problem because sometimes it is starts on a diskette and remains stable for about 10 minutes. I know that the hard drive is fine as I can copy files on disk when booting from the floppy in DOS mode. Is there a way I can connect the HDD on a desktop PC so that I can recover the files which are there?

  Thanks for your help,

  Tom

  Hello

• Tecra 8000 - question on wireless

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000. I want to connect to broadband wireless set up in my house. Can someone please advise me as to what the hardware needs of my machine to allow me to do this? Do I need a wireless card? Also I would be grateful any recommendation for exact hardware products to buy - to ensure that they are compatible with my device.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user. For your good old classic, the best solution is to use a PCMCIA WLAN card. You can find many different products on the market, and the best thing you can do is to talk with your local dealer. Inform you about all the products. I hope that you will choose the right one.

• Satellite A200-1cr - two questions about the AC adapter / CC

  Hello guys,.

  I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1cr and suddenly one morning, I can not charge my battery...

  I tried with another adapter that I bought for another laptop a few years ago and it worked perfectly...

  I have change the power supply cable before the adapter, that we... http://www.digitalkind.co.uk/INU_Products/INU_ProdDetailsL8.ASP?ref=57306972
  and nothing has changed, I realized that I need a new ac adapt power...

  It's for my laptop... http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PA3290E-3AC3/AC%2520Adapter%2520120W.htm

  But now I have two important questions...

  1. since I tried, the power adapter works fine, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same features...

  2. is the replacement of the power supply covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  Thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

  > 1. As I've tried, the power adapter works well, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same characteristics

  If the AC adapter doesn't supports exactly the same specifications as the original Toshiba AC adapter so I wouldn't recommend using it! This could damage the motherboard! So if you want to use it you must make sure that the ampere, Volt and Watt values are the same!

  > 2. The replacement of the power supply is covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

  The AC adapter belongs to the laptop and it s covered by the warranty also.
  So if you warranty is still valid, don t waste time and contact the ASP in your country!
  Explain what s bad guys and I m sure will be able to help. The adapter must be replaced if it s defective!

  In this case, I would not recommend using 3rd party adapters if you will get a new ASP.

• Tecra M1: Question about 21003B wireless adapter

  I have a Tecra M1 with 21003B wireless adapter. Company connection to one of our Wi - Fi points poses no problem - stay connected is a science.

  All the 1-2 hours all Wi - Fi access points 'disappear' app to auto-detection. The only way to reconnect is to disconnect XP (SP2).

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Well, this really strange question. I found on the site of Toshiba four different

• Tecra M3 - questions about the RAM maximum and graphics driver update

  Hi people,

  I have a Tecra M3 (Variant FBCF with the Geforce 6600 w / 128 MB) and I have two questions that I hope someone here can help me with:

  (1) what is the maximum amount of RAM that I can install here? The manual says 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), but I do not see why the laptop would be paralyzed this necessary way, cause as far as I know the 915G chipset can handle 4 GB of RAM. If anyone knows definitively what?

  (2) the latest drivers from nvidia for XP are 2005. As most of you probably know, nvidia systematically more than past performance with versions driver and adds compatibility with some games that end up in trouble. The real driver from the nvidia site does not install because it says that it cannot find any compatible hardware. Can't Toshiba even a pilot updated annually? There is a driver of 2007 for Vista, I can't believe that if they did, they decide refresh the XP one while they were to him. Any chance of their audience on this here? I could force the nvidia.com driver to install, but I don't think that it's necessarily a great idea.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  the maximum amount specified for this machine memory is 2 GB and 4 GB not but you can try it with 2x2gb modules.

  With regard to your graphics: Don t use the nvidia driver since it is not suitable for mobile graphics chipsets and has no timing in the driver that is needed to run flawlessly.

  I'd rather you to view laptopvideo2go and download some drivers here. :)

• Tecra A2 - Question about the different stacks

  You have a problem with getting a new battery for a Tecra A2 PTA20A 20R002. The battery that came out of the laptop is a PA3356U-2BAS. Product Toshiba says that the battery is a PA3356U-1BAS or PA3357U-1BAL (high capacity).

  Is the PA3356U-1BAS PA3356U-2BAS and PA3356U-3BAS (incidentally)?

  Also can I can use PA3357U-3BAL instead of the PA3357U-1BAL?

  I find it difficult to source the battery the numbers indicated on the technical specifications of Toshiba in Australia (can't find compatibiles). PA3357U-3BAL seems to be pretty easy to find.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Very interesting! :)

  Thanks for this feedback!

• Tecra 750: Question on the infrared remote control and TV

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can help. I have an old Tecra 750 which I use as a sound system to play my MP3 collection. It has an infrared detector on it and I was wondering if it is possible to use this to receive a TV remote control IR, so I can use a remote control to navigate through my audio files. Does anyone know how or where I could find how? Y at - it a freeware to help maybe? Is it still possible?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The computer uses infrared IRDA, and it is not compatible with the type of infra-red used by normal remote controls.

  You could get an external infrared remote control which must be plugged into the USB port.
