• 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?

• Tecra 8000: W2K - how to operate the 2 screens at the same time

  I have a tecra 8000 with win 2000 pro is installed.

  Everything works fine with one exception...
  Press the [fn] [f5] keys to use the device outside.

  Is there a way I can get it to run 2 screens at the same time (either cloned or, preferably tv being a secondary monitor)?

  If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful

  Thank you

  I'm not familiar with the Tecra 8000 and W2K operating system. If there I sno good driver on Toshiba download page (I assume W2K is not supported for this model of laptop), please try to find the driver somewhere on the net. I found some info your unit has NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av) video card.

  To use an external monitor as a second monitor, or extended display just try to use the Windows settings in display properties.

• 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 - installation of update of the BIOS & XP or ME?

  I got the task of sorting of a s laptop Tecra 8000 a friend who is completely riddled with spyware and viruses. After killing most of the infections I backed up what I have to and decided the best course of action is a reconstruction of the BONE.

  I don't know what operating system to suggest that it installs. Will install and make ME use Win98 drivers or if this is not recommended (I have no experience with ME)?
  XP would be a better choice with its own pilots (reading the posts on here that SP2 causes slowdowns well)?
  Either the OS above with a Bios Update will be necessary? If so the update of the Bios from 9, 30-trad does not require a 500 MHz + processor? The Bios will tell me the CPU speed?
  I found information on how to install the updates to the Bios; I just check that I can install the 9.30 - trad on a Tecra 8000 with a processor more low spec?

  Thank you very much
  JBW

  I installed the trad 9.30 on my tecra 8000 233 mhz without problem. European downloads have the 500 mhz different bios updates voor and lower. The trad version is for lower versions.
  The American downloadsite have only 1 bios, the 9: 30 for all machines.
  It confused me, so I took the trad 9.30 which is safe for all machines under 500 mhz.

  Good luck... not to mention that I installed winxp pro on it and it runs smooth, I only dissabeld a large number of services that run in the background that wheren can't used to free the memory.

• 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.

• Question about the specification of the two Tecra 8000

  I have 2 Tecra 8000 with the following specifications. :

  Intel Mobile Pentium II 400 MHz processor
  14.1 LCD
  256 MB PC66
  30 GB HARD DRIVE

  --------------

  Intel Xeon Pentium II 300 MHz
  13.3 LCD
  128 MB PC100
  30 GB HARD DRIVE

  My question is, who do you think is the better of the two? If the XEON processor is better, can I exchange the LCD monitors, replacing the with the 14.1 13.3.

  Thank you...

  Take the first and be happy ;)

• 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

• 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.

  In my view, this question must be sent to Belkin. AFAIK for maximum performance, computer system, peripheral and software must all support Hi-Speed USB.

• 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 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.

  Hello Chris

  I'm not 100% sure but I assume that you need a modem driver for your device. Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Chose your device and you will find all the drivers you need.

  Good luck!
