• 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: 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.

• Tecra 8100 hangs after startup

  Hello
  My Tecra 8100 has the same problem as described some time ago: the memory locations of MB were broken and doesn't have a connection properly. Even when I put paper or anything else between the cover and the memory module, it did not work and often my laptop has not yet started.

  I bought the new MB and now the laptop still start (I can see BIOS etc.) BUT crashes after Windows XP logo with notice: windows cannot start because the pci.sys file is damaged... The names of 'corrupt' are different, not only from pci.sys.

  When I portable computer boot from CD Win (to save the system) it blocks (crashes after 2-3 minutes). I tried to boot from Ultimate Boot Cd to detect the problem, but I can't do anything - always crashes after a short period of time - never start to run tests or Tools CD.

  I think that there is a problem of memory - I have 2 modules Kingston KTT-SO100/256, I tried to place them in different locations, together and alone, but nothing changes.
  These modules have worked with my old MB all the time.

  Any ideas?
  Radek

  I read on other forums that this error can appear if the modules of memory are corrupt or not compatible or the memory on the motherboard slot is faulty.

  Well, you have replaced the Board but do you use 100% identical to that of first?
  Perhaps modules of memory are not compatible with the new Board of Directors.

• Tecra 8100 did poster need nothing on LCD - LCD cable

  Hi, my Tecra 8100 13.3 "laptop does not display anything on the LCD screen. It works with the VGA. I'm looking for a LCD cable for this laptop. Any body know where I can buy one. Any body know what is the part number FRU for this. Not the cable of the LCD screen for this model and other model is different?

  Hello

  You will be very happy if someone has so much information for you. In my opinion, you should check if you can find the same parts and don't forget that you can exchange it. Tecra 8100 is about 6 years old and find new parts can be difficult.

  I put t know which country you live but try to pick up a few pieces of notebook offering online in your country. Second option is to check eBay. From time to time, you can find there defective laptops, but many pieces can be used for replacement.

• Tecra 8100, black screen

  Hi people,
  My Tecra 8100 screen after 10 Minutes of work, dark. It s not the screensaver, absolutely! Cause I hear the sound of my games constantly.
  Sometimes, if I reboot the display comes back, or if I push the FN + F5 keyboard combination, but not always.
  Can someone tell me what wrong with my camera?

  Goodbye, Francesco

  Hi, my Tecra 8100 had the same problems. My dealer had to change the motherboard.

• Tecra 8100 does not start.

  Hello. I have this Tecra 8100 I think sell for parts, because I am crazy about her. But before that, I ask you here as a last.

  It seems the section "power" of the laptop works very well: if I plug the power, the 'dc in' and 'battery' LED will light, and the "battery" led even go from orange to green when the battery is charged.

  If I press the button "power on", "power" lights up. The hard disk starts to spin. The fan does nothing, and no "beep" is heard at all. In addition, the screen does not display anything. External VGA output or output TV shows nothing, too. I repeat, that no. a BEEP is heard, until...

  I close the lid. A long beep is heard when I close the lid, but no trace of the image on the screen.

  I have changed or upgraded nothing notebook: memory, CPU, etc.

  I opened and took every piece of it: internal battery, motherboard, sound card, leds and buttons edge... and I tried to connect our case so t may be a short circuit with no luck at all.

  What is a BIOS problem?

  The BIOS can be reflashed in this State, as the AWARD BIOS?

  Are there keys or buttons I could press to enter a kind of mode to diagnose or service?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  The Tecra 8100 doesn t supports no internal memory. Two memory slots are available, and it depends on the unit memory has been installed.
  Always is it that you can improve it to max 512 MB (2 x 256 MB)

  Now to you deliver; It sounds like a hardware problem, but no one could be able to provide a diagnosis exactly what we can do is speculate on the fault.
  I think that it s a motherboard problem

  See you soon

• 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.

• Question about connector Bluetooth internal on Tecra 8100?

  Hi all.
  I have a laptop of 52 - sp pt810e - 13 c. Updated to 512 MB by using 2 toshiba 256 MB pc100 modules purchased on ebay, upgrade to a PIII 850 also obtained in a ebay and upgraded to a larger 40 GB wdc wd400e hard drive, with a lot less noise than 12 GB the original.

  Play with my computer, I found an internal connector "bluetooth" next to the inside which belongs to the keyboard.

  Why is this? Are there any new Bluetooth module for Toshiba Tecra 8100?

  Hello

  I guess that this connector is placed on the motherboard, because it is possible to upgrade the Tecra 8100 with an internal Bluetooth module.
  I don t find Bluetooth modules compatible but all supported and compatible parts, you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Boot Tecra 8100 - would it be CPU malfunction?

  A few months ago, I had a problem with my Tecra 8100 - does not start, everything seems OK but nothing on the screen (no post). I bought another motherboard and replace the old 1 MB, but the problem remains the same: everything seems normal, led lights turn just as it should, cooler works well but nothing on the screen.

  I tried to connect the external display, but there is nothing on it, too. I have two memory modules and I tried all combinations with them (they are OK).

  Is it possible that the problem is something with CPU - I don't know what else could be the problem?

  Please, can someone give me help!

  I assume you mean on this subject:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=22595

  Well, as mentioned in the first thread, it's not easy to say what could be wrong.
  Of course, it is possible that the CPU malfunctions and, therefore, you cannot use your laptop's!

  But these are only suggestions, and no one will be able to provide an exact error diagnostic.

• Upgrading processor on Tecra 8100

  Does anyone know if it is possible to use a Pentium 4 in a Tecra 8100? Are there any that will fit the connector and the motherboard will be able to cope?

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to update the machine with a Pentium 4 CPU.
  The computer is equipped with an Intel? Mobile Pentium? III processor and it has three speeds of operation as follows:
  450 MHz
  500 MHz

  It seems that this is a limit.

• Tecra 8100 won't charge battery

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100, which does not charge the battery. The laptop works very well on the current and all lights including led load. The battery is fine as I tried it on a laptop of a friend s and reloads it without problem. In windows, it shows the battery charge, but it is static and doesn't move the percentage he sees when he starts first. I think it might be that a load inserted into the computer laptop does anyone have ideas if it is integrated to the motherboard or a separate part that can be replaced. Also other suggestions on how to resolve this would be especially appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Concerning

  Rob

  Hello

  If the battery is not charged correctly that it may be due to a defect in the power of electronic delivery of your laptop. In my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and ask them what is the best way to solve this problem.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8100: Question on the temperature of the processor and speed

  advice please, I installed a p3 900 processor in my tecra 8100 and he sees it only as a 700. Since the Bios was outdated, I downloaded the latest bios which had no effect on its speed. However, as the update of the bios fan never happens that maybe a coincidence?

  Can any body advise me the temp for the processor and the motherboard. My diagnostic software shows 55(c) of the motherboard and 43 for cpu, no fan activity at all. The original processor speed was 600 and I expect the 900 full because I think this is a 100 mhz bus.

  Any help or comment gladly received thanks.

  Hello Peter

  I'm not an expert, but maybe don windows to see the t the correct CPU speed. I recommend you to use a tool (clock THG) which indicates the speed of the processor.

  If you put the memory from slot B to A, it starts ok
  If NO id memory placed in the second slot that it won't work,
  The motherboard is dead?
  If so can I get a replacement?
  Offered a reference number 8100 SERIES MOTHERBOARD Toshiba P000304110,
  will this work in my laptop with my processor?

  Hello

  I assume slit B is defective, but it can be repaired and you can't swap the motherboard together. Please keep in mind that this option is not offered by each service partner only some of them have this agreement with Toshiba and offer this repair at low prices.

  You can also use 256 MB in a single location and module memory is 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME).
