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

    I'm not sure what you mean by 'receiver' on the adapter, but if the AC adapter is dead you will need a new.
    The Tecra 8000 uses this AC adapter: PA2450U - 15V, 3A, 45W
    If you want you can try to google for the part number and I'm sure you can find some good offers.

  • 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.

  • Photos can work using just an external HARD disk and leave my only intern?

    Hello

    I am using v1.5 Photos. On my Macbook HARD internal disk fills up very quickly. Fortunately, I have a nice external 1 TB drive and I would like to:

    (1) move all my photos on the external drive and direct Photos program so search the folder on the external HARD drive to find all photos.

    (2) when I import pictures from my camera in the future, that the Mac them automatically in the folder of photos on the external HARD disk and not keep fill the space limited on my Mac small disk internal.

    Is this possible? I remember that I was able to do it with iTunes years when I used a Powermac with 4 x internal HDD of various sizes. iTunes has been able to see the music on each disk files and present them to me as a single list of iTunes.

    I'm not interested in using iCloud at all, I have everything on HARD drive and memory sticks and I am satisfied that, as it provides all the storage I need and I only use a computer for my work.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Yes, it is possible to keep the pictures library on an external drive. Make sure that the unit is running at the launch of photos from your Mac.

    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?

  • roar of hard disk and the computer freezes for a few seconds

    My hard drive makes a sound whirring for a few weeks now and when I type in emails or messages like this, the computer freezes for a few seconds. Any ideas how to fix this?

    A desktop computer. Your problem could be overheating.

    You must remove the side panel right and remove dirt dust bunnies fans. Also, make sure that all the fans are working. Safety switch the computer off and pull the power cable before removing the side panel. You can then move the computer backon and check that the fans are working.

    Then, turn off the computer and some time for that cool. It is best to use a wrist band, which you set on the casing of the computer to you the earth before touching anything inside the envelope. You can buy one in a store of computer accessories. Static electricity can damage a motherboard if you don't take precautions.

    Then, you use a small brush to remove the sheep of dust around the fan on the processor. I used an electric razor, cleaning brush. I use an Air blower to clean the power supply fan. An air Duster is also useful fopr cleaning keyboards.

    Removal of the dust bunnies should reduce the noise that makes your computer. It can also reduce overheating, which can lead to errors of Blue Screen of Death.

    Another way to check the hard disk to see if it is overheating is to use HD Tune 2.55 (free):

    You have to scroll the page to see the freeware version.
