• Tecra 8000: Question on the AC adapter

  Sorry bad English.
  The power suply to my tecra 8000 does not work it is not the wire but the receiver most? in Notepad. I have a new laptop, but there are some files inside the tecra and because I have no power I can't reach it. Does anyone nows a solution that won't cost me a lot of money?
  Greetings:

  Hello

  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.
  You can also order this part form the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  It is a way easier to buy some supported and compatible.

  I want to increase my hard drive, which is a maximum size of the HD can I increaes in my laptop?

• 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 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.

• Tecra 8000: questions about memory, mouse and screen

  Hi, im using a tecra 8200, mouse keeps drifting upward left after 30 minutes? keyboard problem?
  Sometimes the screen displays changr, from very dark then normal?
  Finally I was told that I can put in a module of 512 mem alongside 256 existing will this work.
  Thanks for any reply Biffo

  Hello

  As you know on this path it is not easy to give you a good answer on all these problems. The same happen to me with my mouse, but AFAIK it's normal because the mouse must obviously be calibrated again and again.

  Daniel is right about the memory. You can use two modules with 256 MB (PC100 256 MB - PA3069U - 1 M 25). 512 MB should be max according to the specifications of this unit.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8000: No memory available to connect with area map PC

  I have a Tecra 8000 running Win98 SE and use a card PCMCIA 3Com for my Internet connection. I was troubleshooting my computer on another issue and in the process disabled Cardbus PCMCIA Toshiba ToPIC controllers. After you have enabled these again once I am more able to communicate with the PC card and so unable to connect to the Internet.

  Card troubleshooting agent PC States: "Windows is not able to identify or use the inserted PC card device because there is no available memory area to connect with this device. You need to do an area memory available before this device can be used. Check the CONFIGURATION of your computer. A memory manager that is excluding the regions of superior memory between A000 and FFFF in the SYS file '.

  My Cardbus controllers are defined as follows:
  1 memory range - 0c 000000 - 0C000FFF
  2 memory range - 001000 0c - 0C001FFF

  My PC Card (PCMCIA) properties are as follows:
  Card services shared memory:
  Start 000c 0000
  End 00FFFFFF
  Length 00001000

  While the PC Card Modem is recognized at the Port, it can be communicated with and error message is shown as follows:

  ' Error 666: the modem is not plugged in or is out of service. "Connect a modem to your computer and try again.

  When I run the Diagnostics on the Modem does not respond to the exception of the following:

  "' Open Comm: cannot open port"

  Any help or advice will be appreciated.

  Have you tried to uninstall the Cardbus drivers? Not sure about the location in Win98 (in XP it is in Device Manager), go to "PCMCIA adapters" and uninstall all entries in controller.

  Reboot and Win98 will perform his routine "new hardware found". This is going to re - install drivers and with a bit of luck should solve your problem.

• New OS for old Tecra 8000

  Hi all

  I just purchased a Qosmio F10 and want to give my old Tecra 8000 (P2 300 Mhz, 8 GB, 192 MB of RAM) to a friend. This computer works fine on Windows 98 1st edition, and I again all the installation diskettes. I would like to reformat the drive to remove my identity and to upgrade the operating system to a version more recent Windows.

  My questions are:
  -What operating system given the low specs?
  -How can I reinstall Toshiba laptop features?
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  TOK is quite right. Check on the Toshiba site what operating system is supported for your device as Toshiba specific tools are designed only for the operating system.

• Video - Tecra 8000

  I have a Tecra 8000 with Windows XP Pro installed.
  Everything works perfectly, I've updated the BIOS to v9.3 - BUT I can't get the video of the matches to work.
  I tried the RCA Jack on the back and also connected the SVGA dongle to the outlet side and used the composite video output on that, but no signal seems out of one of them.

  I've tinkered with various different BIOS settings, use the Fn + F5 key all to nothing does not.
  I read in the forum here that others have the same problem, so I also add a call for help with this one. May I ask, has ANYONE managed to actually get a composite video signal on their Tecra?

  Hi Peter

  If your Tecra comes preinstalled with Toshiba Recovery CD all the drivers and tools should work properly. In this case there are, in my view, two reasons that could explain why it does not work. Is mobile the cause of this problem or there is a problem with the TV and TV setting.

  Using the FN + F5 key combination, you can switch to an external device. It will be interesting to know if it works properly with the external monitor. It is not the same port, but the tool is the same. You can also try to connect your laptop to another TV. Sometimes it is not easy to say what may be the problem. If there is no way to have some success, you need professional help. Maybe the service partner can perform a short control of video composite output port.

• My Tecra 8000 can run XP Home?

  Hi all, just joined here and spent the last hour going through the forums.
  Ive recently bought a Tecra 8000 which has a HD 10 GB, 128 MB of RAM and Windows 2000. I thought that I was able to update everything and have since discovered that I can pass only safe RAM. I'll go 2 x 128 MB of ram, so I will be able to run XP home? Also, is there any other implementation of performance, I can do?
  Thank you very much for any answer
  SoC

  Hello

  You can upgrade the memory of the Tecra 8000 to max 256 MB (2x128MB)
  These modules, you can use:
  PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
  PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
  PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

  As far as I know this laptop came with the 6GB. You use 10 GB of HARD drive, well in my opinion, it should be possible to use a 12 GB but I'm not sure about bigger hard drives.

  However, it should be possible to install the hope of Windows XP on this laptop.
  On this site you will also find drivers that are needed:
