• Tecra A10 - how to disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked

  Hello

  I use a Tecra A10 with a 2 Express Port Replicator.
  How can I disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked and still use it when undocked?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  As far as I know that something like this is not possible.
  Following this logic, it will be possible to have access to protected files when the laptop is on docking station.

  Either you use fingerprints or not.

  Have you tried to get into the BIOS?
  Check it out.
  But usually after the update laptop BIOS should properly work and boots.
  Have you followed the instructions on the BIOS update on the page of Toshiba?
  Maybe you did something wrong and the motherboard is damaged.

• 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.

• Corrupt BIOS on Tecra 8000

  I have a Tecra 8000 flea market some time ago and Mepis Linux is installed. Everything worked fine until I gave it to my sister who spilled a cup of tea top.

  Allowed us to dry out, but now, although it seems to be 'living' I get the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Please place BIOS update diskette in the drive snd press a key when you are ready to move forward. "when I turn on the monitor.

  I hope that this suggests I can restart the machine, if I install a new BIOS.
  However, there is no floppy drive on this computer in which you insert a floppy disk!

  I tried to download a BIOS upgrade and save it on a CD, but it is not recognized, probably because there is not BIOS.

  Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could try to get the machine working again?

  There is a floppy driver for Tecra 8000 with a special connector.
  You need a floppy drive!
  Check on ebay for it or try to contact your local Toshiba service. They may have this player.

• Tecra 8000, linux & ethernet & pnp

  Hello

  I am trying to install Linux on a Toshiba Tecra 8000. The problem is with a chipset Realtek ethernet PCMCIA card (module: 8139too), which is recognized, but the network is unusable. I always get an error of SIOCSFFLAGS and assigned interruption is 0, which means that it has failed. I have read many times that I have to disable plug-and-play, but there is no choice when I start with a floppy and run the TSETUP. EXE. Y at - it an alternative to this? Do you have any other clues?

  Thanks, Thomas

• New Tecra A4 - 170 - slower than my old Tecra 8000

  Hey!

  Since yesterday, I have my NB again at home and so far, I'm happy with it!

  It has a processor M760, with 2 GHz, 100 GB HDD, FSB 533 and such - but it is slower than my old Tecra 8000 with PII and 366 MHz with only 8 GB of HARD drive.
  Y at - it a tip or something I should fix, or is it quite normal when there is now software for nearly 10 GB (nothing special, just the software more pre-installed desktop, antivirus and internet, no games) on this subject?

  Would be happy to help!

  Meike

  HI Meike,

  Your new Tecra running the same OS as your old?

  I would be interested to know if slow is during the initial loading of the operating system or if it appears when you actually use the system.

• Tecra 8000 screen goes green

  I have a Tecra 8000 running Windows 2000 with the latest version of the bios/drivers, etc.. It works fine and all, but it has this particular problem. At first boot, the display is fine, but then gets a green tint to everything. I can fix it by going into hibernation (or suspend) and turn the machine back (out of hibernation).

  Similarly, if I run an application that changes res and past in full screen (ie: MAME) the screen will return to a green tint again and will not go back to normal unless I have Hibernate-> restarts. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Have you tried to plug the external monitor?
  If this is not the case, try to connect the external monitor and check if this problem also occurs on the second monitor.
  If this isn't the case, so I guess something is wrong with the display on the laptop, but if this problem also appears on the external monitor if there could be a malfunction of the graphics card or as something bad on the motherboard.
  Unfortunately I don't think that you can solve without professional help.
  You should contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
  Explain the situation to him.

• 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 - TV on WXP

  Does anyone know what I should do to make it work on the laptop Tecra 8000 TV connection output? I have Win XP OS installed.

  When I connect the video cable, the TV screen is all black. I can connect my desktop PC to TV the same way and it works. The laptop has Magic Media 256AV video card. I thought that maybe the problem was with the driver, but I can find them only for Win 98.
  Thanks for your help.

  AFAIK this Tecra older is not delivered with WXP which means that you use your own installation of the OS. In this case check the graphics card setting to activate the TV option.

  It seems that Toshiba doesn't support WXP for this device. Try to find the driver WXP on the card manufacturer download page.

• Tecra 8000: battery not charging

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 works excellently on the radio but cannot get a battery charge! I have 2 new batteries, but when I go to power options it says battery not detected. However if you pass the sector off the power the computer will run on battery for a few minutes.

  Is that all I have to do to recharge the battery because it denies services to broadband radio if I can't charge the battery.

  Thank you in anticipation

  Roy Drysdale

  Hello Roy

  As much as I know there is no any kind of parameters for the battery. Everything works automatically and power of electronic power control controls this. Software gets some info from the hardware store.

  If the battery is not recognized by the system, I'm afraid, there is not much to do and the unit must be checked by the service of the laptop.

• Tecra 8000 BIOS update

  Help... my first visit on this forum looking for a kindly soul to out me of trouble. My wife has a Tecra 8000 (European version) with P2 400 mhz. To start, she "prepares for the BIOS update". I managed to find what seems to me to be good download on this site, the 'traditional' version for computers that do not run on 500 mhz or higher? Only problem is that I know this must be installed through FDD we have with the laptop, but we have no way to open the file on disk. Neither our computers from home or at work have a floppy drive to open and copy the downloaded file. We were wondering if anyone has a copy, or access to a floppy drive to produce a copy and send it to us? We would be more than happy incurred to help us.

  Hello Brian

  Please check this page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=BIOS&FI D = TRO0000000b07. It is described how you can create the BIOS update disk, and the correct procedure of updating the BIOS for your laptop model.

  It is not complicated. I'm sure you can do it alone.

  Good luck!
