Tecra 8100 - CPU max, DVD - ROM and BIOS update issues

1. I have a 500 MHz processor on my 8100. I would like to upgrade to maximum capacity. I think it's 800 MHz since it is the highest, the series went to.
But if it's 800 MHz, any Mobile PIII on this frequency do? Or should I check for special settings of the processor?

2. I don't have a floppy, or ways to get drive one. And I'm not going to ebay one just for an update of the BIOS. Any ideas? A bootable CD with the files will do?

3. What is the location of the DVD-ROM and what alternative models can I use? The 8200 went up to 8 x DVD - RW. Could I go further?

Thank you. I hope that my post is OK like this instead of three different positions.

1 take a look at the other Tecra 8100 models to determine which processors are compatible.

2. I don't think that would work a bootable CD, you must follow a special procedure to update the BIOS and requires a floppy drive. If there is a version of Windows, you must use that instead.

3 upgrade the DVD player can be difficult because you must use the correct master/slave settings, and it must have the same design of the façade of the original.

Personally, I'm selling the laptop and buy a second hand faster one. It can work out to be cheaper.

  • Keyboard and BIOS update issue on Satellite L505-13V

    Hello, I have two problems with my laptop.

    First is related to the keyboard. It started a few days ago, the laptop has wound down due to low battery, when I turned on it again once, I received a bad operation of the keyboard.
    The main problem is that when I type for ex 4, it appears on-screen as r4, and so on for some other keys.
    I ' v wanted by web it may possibly be due to the BIOS. And decided to update to the current version.

    And here's the second problem:
    I downloaded the update to the bios from the toshiba site and tried to install it, but it stops on the last stage, something of the region.
    Could someone please help with questions?

    Hello

    > I got a malfunction of the keyboard.
    What message did you receive exactly? This message based on Windows or what exactly?
    Of course, it could be a malfunction of the keyboard but software as well. Way simpler to check this must connect an external keyboard.

    > I downloaded the update to the bios of the toshiba site and tried to install it, but it stops on the last stage, something of the region.
    Where did you download this patch exactly? This update specifically for Satellite L500-13V and PSLJ0E model series?

  • Configuration at the request of update Retriever to download only the drivers and BIOS update?

    I'm looking to automate the update of extractor and our organization doesn't want or need additional software such as SHAREit or WRITEit, just the drivers and BIOS update. Is it possible to retrieve only the BIOS and the driver for the repository updates?

  • Tecra 8100 - CPU Upgrade

    Hello
    I have an old Tecra 8100. I've updated the 700 to 900 Mhz CPU. It works but the CPU is always set to 100 x 7 = 700 Mhz. I think this would work if I find a tool that can update the record DMI for the CPU. DMICFG can read the values but could not write them.
    Could someone tell my worms a solution?

  • Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

    Well, some may remember my previous post about the fan activation in my Tecra 8100.

    This laptop came to me as a gift by a customer, because the screen didn't work. After some research, the problem was the internal cold cathode that was broken. Once replaced: Yes! a free book for me! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64 MB of RAM and a 12 GB hard drive. I replaced all the components (which are now on sale, btw), and now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB hard drive. Someone gave me a card PCMCIA of WiFi 11 Mbit/s, and now how it works with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba Utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.

    What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reported temperatures up 72a? Aºc in the processor. I opened the computer laptop and put thermal paste instead of the sticker that has the heat sink. Temperature guard high and utilities Toshiba even with parameters ' cooling high performance "does not have the fan to cool the cpu...

    I hangs at all, but the business cards and pcmcia laptop have too hot even with the system works with any of the applications running. Lowering of the CPU clock or the ratio helps not at all.

    I think putting a fan somewhere extra to force air circulation and that cool the cpu, unless...

    ... Toshiba could develop a utility that allows you to directly control the fan speed. I don't know if the thermal management is hardware or software-driven. If it is a software-driven, it should be easy to create a utility that directly access the fan and temperature records. It would be MUCH better than simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.

    I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things which will not create the utility for us, so...

    .. What to check or do to cool the CPU at more appropriate values?

    Thank you all!

    Hello

    As in you previous announcement describes the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
    This software works very well, and if you use the laptop as prescribed, you should not get all the problems and overheating problems.

    The problem is that you have changed all the devices and parts on you laptop. The new parts are effective, but produce more heat.
    On the laptop you can cool the CPU with a small fan, and if she goes out, it is necessary to decrease the performance of the processor.
    It is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with energy saver.
    In addition, it is very important that your cooling module is clear and free from dust and debris obstruct the work of fan.

  • Compaq dc7800: DC7800 CPu id and BIOS update probem

    Hello

    My first post here, I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

    Well, I have this old compaq dc7800 sff and I managed to level it's OS to Windows 10.

    And now, I would like to update its bios and CPU id, but I can't run those exe, I downloaded on the cd7800 support site.

    I know that these bios update programs and so forth are not published for Windows 10, but I thought that windows7 versions would work.

    But they did not.

    For some reason, I got the the messege that "software publisher has refused to run this program on this computer.

    While this mean?

    I can't run these programs even with administrator privileges, I get the same messages?

    Because of Windows 10? Or what?

    The reason why I came across this problem was that I tried to update the CPU of the Q6600 to Q9550 and I got the error of CPU - ID firmware.

    Hello:

    It is very easy to update the BIOS on a dc7800 without being under Windows.

    In the menu of the BIOS on the file tab, there is a rom flash system command.

    All you have to do is put the BIOS files on a USB stick formatted with the FAT32 file system.

    Rather than go though all the steps to get the BIOS files, I've zipped or less than joint under attachments.

    Unzip them and copy the content of the file of the folder (not the folder), for your USB flash drive.

    Plug the flash drive into your PC and restart it, tap the F10 key to access the bios, select the file menu and on this list will be a rom flash system command.

    What to choose, and the PC will 'see' the files on the flash drive.  Follow the instructions on the screen to Flash the BIOS.

    I have attached files to the latest revision of the BIOS (1.32 Rev. A (6 Dec 2011)).

    If you still get the microcode error after updated the BIOS with the latest version, let me know, because then update the firmware, and it is a much more complex process.

  • CPU and BIOS update problem

    I have a M57P 6395 33 M system and some time ago I added an E8500 CPU, I thought it would work even if Lenovo not listed the E8200, E8400. I was a little disappointed and I still wonder WHY lenovo gets SO specific with CPU connection. I don't see why she accepts only 2 CPUs and no other?

    Well, I bit the bullet and found an E8400 to put in the machine. I added CPU, removed the MB battery and left out for a while then went back on the new shoe, set all the necessary info. The first part of the BIOS screen mentions that there lies an E8400 (as he did for the E8500) but when it goes through the boot process it is said AGAIN that the CPU code is not enough to recognize the E8400. I am now confused.

    When I updated the BIOS, I used the that I've been led to believe was the GOOD .54KT23AUS (through the windows), but I still get the error 0167. It would be better for me to put the back E8200, re run the BIOS update using a CD?

    and there is another update of BIOS listed for the M57P 2RKT64A, I wonder if it would be better? It is not for use on 6395 but, the FIRST thing listed for THIS update is an update of firmware of CPU.

    I know that this means not much to all the world and I hear people say 'why bother? ' but I would use the machine as I'm n ot offer a more recent machine as I am a pensioner.

    A little help please.

    Thanks a lot for the quick response. I tried Flash via the CD with the E8400 in and it would not allow me to do when he came up with the error of CPU to half way through. I have since updated the E8200 back and did the BIOS update through the CD. The machine seems to have taken the update of the better BIOS this time but, the E8400 still does not work

    As for the E8400 CPU, I have an Intel CPU program on the computer and deepening classified by it for the E8400 says it's A07? However, I can't find any info on it. I guess I either will set up with hitting the F2 key when I start with the E8400 inside or just keep the E8200.

    I finnd the info on these rather confusing processors. The Intel CPU app I have gives me different information from a site like CPU world. The TDP of the processors are 65W but the ONLY thing I see different is the deepening of the base. The E8200 is listed as C0, while the E8400/8500 are E0. Why who would have much effect on the use of the more major? You would have thought that Lenovo engineers could make the system accepts the E0 revision or what is Lenovo wants to sell a new machine?

    Like I said, it's a shame that Lenovo is so affected by these machines with tunnel vision. Well
