  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: 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.

• Tecra 8000: Question about upgrade hard drive

  I recently bought laptop Tecra 8000 PII 400 MHZ. The laptop has 10 GB of hard drive.
  I want to increase my hard drive, which is a maximum size of the HD can I increaes in my laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no official document on a maximum size of HARD drive, but I think you can use a 20, 30 GB without any problem.
  You can ask the service for a partner caught max supported size HARD drive or HARD drive dealer.

• 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: 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: PC Wireless Card is not recognized

  I am trying to conect my Tecra 8000 to my wireless router, but the card is not recognized when I plug it into the laptop, it is recognized in my satelite. I tried running windows 98 and 2000 now but its made no difference.

  Is there anything else I should do?

  Hello

  What wireless card did you use? Maybe the Tecra 8000 doesn t support this card.
  Check you manual user for the supported cards and compatible.

• Tecra 8000 wireless

  I got a Tecra 8000 with a 10/100 network port replicator which will be used as a second home office. On my main PC, I use a Netgear DG834G ADSL wireless router (802. 11 g) for wired broadband. What is the best (or too cheap) way to establish a wireless connection with the Tecra?
  There seems to be a number of adapters (for example Netgear WG511) or USB (for example WG111T) adapters. Is the Tecra 8000 USB v1.1 or v2?
  I might just put the router close to and click on the ethernet link but I'd rather have the laptop away from phone available catches.

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Tecra 8000 has two ports USB 1.1 somewhere on the left side.

  In my opinion the Netgear WG511 is much better solution.

• 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
  WLan drivers. I suggest trying another driver, maybe this will help.

• Need help installing a Tecra 8000 wireless

  I just bought the wife an old laptop tecra 8000 and like to run wifi on it, I bought a d-link router and a d-link usb adapter, but he said I would impose a usb high speed and it n, t, raise the router a pcmia card would work better, also can anyone suggest a modem/router and card that works on it, any help is appreciated...

  Hello

  The Tecra 8000 supports only USB 1.1 standard.
  Are high speed USB 2.0 ports
  Many USB devices are designed only for USB 2.0 and I guess that your USB WLan adapter also supports the 2.0 standard.

  The PCMCIA should work better. There is no standard limitations as on the USB ports.

• Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

  I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
  is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

  I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

  Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
  I'm sorry.

  Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

• Tecra 8000 and broadband connection

  Hi all

  I recently asked to watch Tecra 8000 a friends (PII 233) and give it a bit of an update... Don't know why the most I've ever done, is to add a few small components in my PC at home!

  My question is - is this possible for a connection broadband to be put in place - I looked all over the laptop, but don't find nothing which would suggest it is possible.
  (Also what other improvements should be can) watching us.

  Sorry for the noobness, but any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Ben

  Wow this is really an oldie
  Broadband do you mean the LAN port?

  As far as I know that the Tecra 8000 was not equipped with LAN port.
  It s really amazing but it is a fact

  However, if you want to use LAN then I advise you to buy a PCMCIA (Cardbus 32-bit) LAN card that would be allows to connect the Tecra 8000 to LAN.

  See you soon

• Tecra 8000 sees no PCMCIA network card

  I don't get my Belkin network card Wireless PCMCIA connected to my Tecra 8000.
  That's all new win 2000, including all updates and I don't know that the pcmcia slot is working very well.

  Try to change some settings in the BIOS.
  In the configuration box, you can set the configuration of device option to all devices.
  In addition, in the area PC card, you can try changing the compatible option CCIP or CardBus / 16-bit.

  Play with these settings and check if a this will allow the card.

  PS: Have you installed all the drivers that should be shipped with this card?
