Tecra 8100: Advice replace please - audio card?

My 8100 Tecra faithful and beloved which is ideal for my purposes locked up the other day, in the middle of a session.

Restart windows resulted in blocking machine once Windows is running.
I started in safe mode - no problem.
I have disabled all devices useless and then through a process of elimination of selectively allowing devices and reboot.
I found that the problem was the Yamaha audio device - that turn on the machine and it would lock up, disable that and he would normally go.
It worked fine now for a day with the disabled Yamaha audio device.
I tried to uninstall/reinstall the device - no change.
I even did a fresh install of XP - no change.

I ran XP pro for over a year without problem (so far) and I consider not audio as criticism - just a nice to have.

My questions are:

Is there anything else I need to do in the way of diagnosis?

Tips for common problems?

Can anyone with experience of fixing these machines or similar notice if replacement of all of the audio card is likely to make a repair?

I seem to remember the last time that I opened it about two years ago to change the processor that the audio Assembly was on a separate panel but is that all?

Note that this is a _ancient_ machine and _not_ going to be taken to a repair shop where the Bill would be more that it is worth! I am competent to replace the sound card, more than that and I will probably continue to run without audio - I don't think that it worth replacing the motherboard just for audio...

Thank you very much in advance for any constructive suggestion.

Well, as you know these replacements are very delicate
However, I don t think you will be able to replace this sound card but it s my personal opinion.

From my experience, I know that the card (audio driver) his Yamaha is not fully compatible with Win XP SP1 and SP2. Update the audio driver is necessary.

Google for it

I searched a bit for some instructions how to remove these boards and found this page.

There you should find a link to the page how to disassemble the Tecra 8100.

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the display shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also appear when plugged upward on a normal screen.
    I checked Device Manager and it says that the nvidia card "cannot start." The problems had me uninstall and won't reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is it possible? If it is separate would rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.

    Chase

    From your description of the error, this really sounds like a malfunction of the GPU (graphics processing unit).
    Unfortunately, it is a serious offense and if a replacement of material you will not be able to fix this :(

    It is a case value because you can not only replace the graphics card. You need to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the Board and cannot be removed easily.

    There is nothing to my buddy.
    Seems that you need to contact a support technician.

    Good luck

  • Using ISA cards in the Tecra 8100/8200 docking station

    Is it possible to use old pc ISA cards in the PCI slots in the Tecra 8100 docking station?
    The Deskstation V Plus for the 8000 series seems to allow dual use in some of its slots so I wonder if it's the same for the 8100/8200 series.

    You can also the Tecra 8100 can be anchored to the Deskstation V to allow access to the ISA slots?

    Hello

    where did you get this with the AIS in the PCI slots? I've never seen a combo slot in my life so I can't believe :)
    But what about the v: Deskstation

    Yes, it can be anchored, it s integrates without problems, then you will be able to use the ISA-machines built slot.

  • Tecra 8100 not start after replacing hinge!

    A few days ago and hinges on my Tecra 8100 receive broken - I had to take full-fledged laptop and replace the hinges. When I finished replacement and try to start, I have nothing on the screen. LED light diodes are to: power, battery, CD ROM (there are no leads to the HARD drive).
    I must put emphasis that I had the problem with the locations of memory (from last year) and I solved this problem by sticking a piece of paper between the contacts (like everyone else).

    Hello

    Who knows what you were doing. It seems at first glance that you plugged the screen isn't properly.
    But it could also be something wrong with the memory banks.

    It s not advisable to put anything between the memory and the housing contacts!
    If you use the compatible memory modules, everything should work properly!

    If you are not able to locate the failure I recommend to contact a technician who has more experience in the repair of laptop as a common user like you and me

    Hello

    Do you have software for this card? If so, you should try to re - install the software.

  • Replace the video card and audio lost

    I have a HP m7350n desktop under WinXP SP2

    The plug: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00585745

    I replaced the video card (original) with a Gigabyte GT 440

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814125366

    The new vid card also demanded a new power supply, so I replaced the original power supply with a Cooler Master GX 450

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817171060

    When I restarted the computer, I noticed that I had more sound. Not sure if it was important, but even after that I downloaded the latest drivers for the new video card, there is still no sound.

    In the status bar system (or what is called the lower right view), I have more small icons for audio that I used to see.

    If I run dxdiag and click on the "Sound" tab, everything is white with the error 'no sound card found.  If one must, you must install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. »

    The audio jacks are NOT part of either the old or new video card, so I think that the new video card should not cause this.

    Could I have missed feed somewhere during the exchange of food? If I remember, I have provided to:

    -2 CD/DVD drives

    -The expansion slot empty

    -The hard drive

    -A long connection on the motherboard (it was like 12 x 2 pins)

    -A small connection square to motherboard (2 x 2-pin)

    Any suggestions on what I can is dead wrong, or what I need to check? I am a novice at this stuff, so it could very well be something stupid.

    Also, I suppose, it does not matter, but I also added memory 2x1GB sticks in the empty slots (who does not see the PC, but that's a separate post)

    Thanks for the pointers

    Hello:

    I see an HDMI port on the map output...

    Why what happened?  The answer is that your video card has HDMI that requires a separate HDMI audio chip on the video card. So yes, your videocard DID cause it happens because the PC has picked up map video, disabled the car video (if you have an onboard video) and also disabled the audio system integrated, take on it for audio HDMI on the video card.

    The solution is simple, but almost no one knows about it, so I wouldn't say it's something stupid...

    Go into your BIOS. Looking for an embedded audio setting. It will be either disabled or Auto. Change the setting on " Enabled".  Save the setting here where you made the change, and again when you exit the BIOS.

    When the PC restarts your integrated sound card needs to be restored, and you will also have the use of your audio HDMI when you plug an HDMI cable to your TV.

  • Tecra 8100 - lack of tv out cable

    Hello.

    I recently bought a laptop Tecra 8100. There is unfortunately no tv output cable included.
    According to the manual (ie. here: http://www.microdom.by/olddata/pdfspec/tecra_8100.pdf) the tv out port provides a signal s-video (NTSC/PAL) 3, 5 mm mini-jack port.
    The missing cable must be a RCA conversion cable.
    Is someone can you please tell me if there are special requirements that this cable must meet to the? It is not difficult to get a mini-plug cable 2xRCA audio conversion, but of course, it does not transmit the video signal.

    Clues?

    I'm working on Win XP SP2, the installed graphics card is S3 Savage/MX.

    Thanks in advance for advice.

    Hi mate,

    I know cable companies; It s a rare accessory of the Tecra 8100. The problem is, that the Mini-Jack 3.5 "has it s own format, so it will fit only in 1 x 3.5" to 1 x RCA.

    These cables are either on Ebay, or contact you an ASP (certified partner) which could probably send you such cable for little money from low...

    Here´s a link (if you need) to find the nearest ASP in your country:

  • How to change the display on Tecra 8100 drivers?

    I downloaded the driver for Tecra 8100 my girlfriend updates, but I can't figure out how to install them. The laptop is running Win2k sp4.

    I tried the 'normal' method of "update driver" and then selecting the new pilots, but Win2k still find the original drivers and not the new drivers.

    I also tried to unpack the new drivers in the folder that contains the original drivers and replace the files in duplicate. I zipped the original file so that Win2k couldn't see the original files. I then tried to run the Setup program, but the future restart the card was not detected. It is only when I unzipped the original files once again that the new map was suddenly, and v5 drivers have installed again!

    I really want to install drivers v7 - everyone has ideas on what goes wrong? can someone give me a step by step guide how to go V5 to v7?

    See you soon,.

    I forgot to mention - I tried to launch uninstaller to S3, but seems not to do anything.

    All advice appreciated!

  • Tecra 8100 - no sound except in mic!

    I have a Tecra 8100 Windows XP.

    I can't get sound on the speakers or the headphones emitted by the computer, such as beeps, CD, etc. But if I have to reactivate the microphone, I can hear through the headset, ensure that the microphone picks up (there are a few comments without microphones, proving that the speakers work physically). All volume controls are the maximum and reactivated. All devices are enabled and correctly selected in sound control panels.

    Any help would be welcome! Is the sound card, or am I missing a driver? Could not find anything else on the web with similar symptoms. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    A good questions and I never heard of this topic which s...

    I think the fist, you should start to update the audio driver of your laptop. Therefore, you can see the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, you must remove the old version first and reboot the laptop.

    Maybe a reinstall of Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc could also be useful and in the worst case, it s only a hardware malfunction and it must swap the motherboard. :(

  • Tecra 8100: vertical stripes on the screen

    I just bought a second hand Tecra 8100, who has been stripped of all its programs, OS. So I installed Windows98SE on this - now I get a screen with vertical stripes, which perch in the middle of the screen of the laptop with Windows just about visible in the background.

    I went to the display driver Toshiba and downloaded Web pages relevant windows 98se. Once on my laptop, the exe file does nothing; is neither their "graphics card" option in my device manager - everyone has ideas as to what is happening?

    Hello

    Please connect external monitor to your laptop and check if the result is the same. If so, there is probably a problem with the graphics card. If this isn't the case, I presume your laptop LCD screen is defective.

    Hello

    As much as I know on the right side you will find a video taken of output. To use this video on the service, you will need to use a RCA video connector.
    Please also check the settings in the BIOS. Here, you set the type of TV signal and select television as an output device.

    To connect the TV, please follow these steps:
    1 turn off the computer
    2. use the composite video cable to connect the TV to the video output port
    3 turn on the TV
    4. turn on the laptop
