Hello

I assume your Tecra has a Bay DVD-ROM selection (can be removed). Please remove the player for a short period and put back in place and don't forget that the drive is properly connected and that the output switch is in the right position.

By the way: what model of phone you have?

  • Tecra M4: Can I use a second battery in select Bay

    I have a Tecra M4 Tablet Pc that is heavy, but I like.

    A large scarecrow is the battery life. I have a spare battery, but I was wondering if a Selectabay battery was never produced for this model?
    If this isn't the case, is there still the reliable sources for the Lithium Batteries where can I buy spare parts please that someone recommends you?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    The Tecra M4 includes a DVD SuperMulti double layer drive to read and write all types of DVD formats. And this DVD SuperMulti player uses technology of Slim SelectBay providing maximum adaptability and the flexibility of the road.
    The Slim Select Bay supports a number of different devices, including the second battery or second HARD drive.

    I searched a bit on the Toshiba site and found this Bay battery select compatible;
    * Toshiba Slim SelectBay Lithium Ion battery 2nd part No.: PA3129U-2BRS *.

    Google for this part number and you should get many tips!
    In addition you can also order this part of the ASP in your country!

    Good bye

  • Tecra M4-138: update BIOS (i) 3.40 (ii) Slim Select Bay HD

    (i) recently (12/06/2007), Toshiba has released an update of the 3.40 BIOS which can be done only through windows. I own a Tecra M4 - 138 running Win XP Tablet Ed and since now I've updated windows fron BIOS (now it is under v3.30). But the last update can be satisfied! After you run the update, it displays a small window with the label 'run... '. "and a bar running and... that's it! After waiting nearly an hour nothing happenned. I called the local dealer and they advised to perform decommissioning if the system restarts to repeat the procedure and if the problem continues to avoid the update. Is this (thankfully)! Because I don't know if this update fixes important and by default, I tend to be updated, any valuable advisor?

    (ii) I'm trying for some time to put a HD (secondary IDE) to my Tecra M4-138 using the Slim Select Bay drive HARD adapter (PA-3134U-2CTE), an IDE interface and... of Toshiba 120 GB HD... SATA (!) all bought them 4PC GMBH (a Premium Business Partner of Toshiba...). In any case, after not receiving their share of response to my posts, I decided to use this SATA HD as external USB and I am now looking again for a 2.5 "HD (IDE) put in PA-3134U-2CTE. The question: what can be the maximum capacity that resists the Slim Select Bay?
    ?:|

    The update of the bios version 3.40 is logical, but it is not necessary if you are running a stable system.

    There are two major improvements:
    1. exit TV (S-Video) is compatible with Windows Vista now
    2 Improments about Chipset Intel

    If you have a floppy drive there is another possibility for updating the bios.
    Extract the 3.40 bios. Copy the files chgbiosa.exe and BIO0026T.COM on the diskette.
    Now you can perform the update of the bios as described in the http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&FID=TRO0000000b07 Bios FAQ in the traditional update section.

    According to your second problem:
    Tecra M4 has no real limits on the size of hard drive in the Bay of select. The only thing you have to rememer is Tecra M4 has an INTERNAL Serial ATA HDD but select bay with a selectbay for Parallel ATA HDD adapter.
    So I wonder you bought a SATA HARD drive - for this slim selectbay adapater. PATA HDDs will only fit in!
    Back to your question once again. You can buy any real 2,5 "PATA HDD for this card. To get the good HARD-Adator disc on the HARD disk, you should consider buying a drive hard Toshiba selectbay in Catalog option (for example PX1340E - 1 12)

  • Tecra M5 - will not be in hibernation or standby to standard Select-Bay drive inserted

    My Tecra M5 passes not in standby or sleep mode when it is selected in the menu start/stop. This is only a problem when the standard Toshiba CD player is inserted in select Bay. Once removed, it will be put into hibernation. Certainly this isn't something you should do every time?
    Any ideas?

    I think that you are the first person who says something like that. Is the STRANGE empty when you try to use standby or Hibernation mode?

    In any case, it's really strange question. Certainly, something like that shouldn't happen. Have you noticed that since the first day? How long do you use your Tecra? Is there a similar situation when you use FN + F4 or FN + F3 keycombination?

  • Tecra M5: Need for a Slim Select Bay HARD drive adapter

    I bought the Tecra M5 last week and I'm very happy with it, but I also bought the disc adapter HARD Slim SelectBay (number PA3134U-2CTE)
    I already have a hard drive to go inside, but upon arrival, I found that they are not compatible, and I need a caddy / adapter plate so that it all works!

    Anyone have any ideas on a market after copy?
    I spent the last 4 hours of the day on the phone with various departments within Toshiba and suppliers, of which none seem to be able to help. I'm going to spend 280 on a 100 GB HARD drive, when a 120 gig on his own is only 120, I think 160 for the plate of the evasive / caddy is too expensive!

    Cheers in anticipation.

    Nick

    Hello

    I found information on the net that the adapter Slim Select Bay drive HARD PA3134U-2CTE is a really good part, and I imagine that you must now only a compatible HARD drive.
    The drive HARD and any other compatible parts, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Tecra 8000: Lack of OS, how to install

    I have this old Tecra 8000, and he had Win ME above. I used a software called drive to kill, and after reboot I get "missing OS".

    I have a bootable CD with a (legal) copy of XP Pro top. But nothing happens when I insert the CD, it runs for a while, but "lack of OS" message remains. I tried to restart with the CD inserted, but nothing other than the message.

    It is and old comp but I still feel like it's running, there is no mechanical failure, then... any help much appreciated.

    Hi Yavis,

    Check in your BIOS that the boot order specifies the CD first, followed by the hard drive. Otherwise, press the F12 key during the boot process, and this should give you the boot device selection menu where you can specify your CD-ROM as boot device.

    Kind regards

  • Tecra 8000: Desk Station V + chipset/HDD on Debian Linux?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 and a desk Station V, currently under Debian Linux.
    The HARD drive I have in my docking station is functional, but very slow (and I know that's not the drive itself, it works very well in another computer). I can't seem to activate the DMA ("' HDIO_SET_DMA failed: operation not permitted", is it still possible for hard disks anchored? "), but it works with one internal.

    The HD internal (had) gets pretty decent speeds, but externally (hde) works at a snail's pace:

    Ulmo: / etc # hdparm-t/dev/hda
    / dev/hda:
    Calendar of the disc in the buffer reads: 14 MB to 4.94 seconds = 2.83 MB / sec

    Ulmo: / etc # hdparm t/dev/hde
    / dev/hde:
    Calendar reads disc in the buffer: 2 MB in 3.92 seconds = 522,50 kB / sec

    Any suggestions? A fact, anyone know if the Desk Station V requires any configuration of chipset/IDE controller or support?

    Thanks for any help whatsoever.

    Hello

    As much as I know the Station V Plus office devoted additional features to Enhanced Port Replicator II as follows:
    a PCI/ISA bus and a bus PCI expansion slots, a Bay 5 inches.
    a selectable Bay and a built-in SCSI-2 (Small Computer System Interface) controller.
    I also found information on the net that the Desk Station V plus supports also only the UDMA2.

    Well, I think that the internal interface for laptop is a bit faster than the DSV.

  • Change the source of entry with the Caps Lock key does not

    It should be possible to change the input source with the Caps Lock key on macOS Sierra.

    and I checked "Toggle ABC of input source with caps lock shift" in system preferences > keyboard > input Source.

    However, it does not lock shift still only works as long as CapsLock

    I tried to reboot, reset the keyboard shortcuts, deactivation of Siri, reset NVRAM and reset the SMC, but still does not.

    I use only the default input source and have not installed and related programs to the keyboard or input source.

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance.

    Greetings slwsbl!

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you want to change the input source with the SHIFT key on macOS Sierra. I understand the importance of wanting to use a specific key when changing inputs. I'm happy to help you with this.

    It is possible to do. Please take a look at the User Guide helps Mac, specifically, this section:

    Switch between input sources

    To switch between input sources, do one of the following:

    • Use the menu entry: Click on the menu entry in the menu bar, and then choose the input source. If an input source is dimmed, the current application does not support it.

    • Use the Caps Lock key: Press the caps lock shift key to switch between a non-Latin input (such as the Chinese or Korean) source and an input source Latin (for example, French or English).

      To use this method, you must select the option "use Caps Lock to toggle to and from" in the stream of input methods. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods.

    • Use keyboard shortcuts: Press control-Option-space bar to select the source of the following entry in the menu entry, or control-space to select the previous input source.

    Best regards.

  • Tecra 8000 - failure to CD-ROM - new installation disc?

    The CD-ROM drive in my Tecra 8000 has a defect. It attempts to load a CD-ROM, LED is flashing, it stops, and then the drive LED is lit.
    So I guess the drive is down.

    What kind of new CD-ROM is suitable for this laptop? Toshiba only original ones?

    Hello

    Wow, the Tecra 8000 series is really old. Do you use yet this laptop?
    It feels like the notebook would come from the stone age ;)

    However, I think that the CD/DVD drive supports * interface IDE but not all readers would be compatible due to master/slave/cable select settings

    It seems that the reader of DVD-ROM + Toshiba - SD-C2002 + would be compatible.
    Not sure if you'll be able to get this disc because of the age of the unit, but probably the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country could provide some readers compatible optical disc

  • 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

  • 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 on XP pro... How to adjust the brightness

    Hello

    I recently bought a Tecra 8000 with XP Pro installed.
    Unfortunately the LCD display too bright, but I can find no way of setting it.

    I understand that there is a brightness of toshiba laptop display utility.
    Can someone tell me if there is one for XP and if possible to direct me to it

    see you soon
    Michael

    Hello

    Usually, the FN + F6 and FN + F7 key combination decreases or increases the brightness of the display.
    But this only works if the Toshiba drivers are pre-installed. So check first if you have installed all the drivers needed and utilities on your laptop.

    Do you know where to find the necessary drivers on the Toshiba page?
