  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

  I hope this helps.

• 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, upgrading the BIOS, whitch that hard drive is taken in charge (40 GB)?

  Hallo,

  I have an old Tecra 8100 one I want to update BIOS. Who knows who is supported (20 GB, 40 GB) hard drive and where can I find the specifications?

  Thanks for your information.

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the Tecra 8100 does support an IDE HDD controller.
  In this case, it should be possible to use the 2.5 IDE HDD.

  I can't say much about the formats supported, but the fact is that the size of HDD supported depends on the HARD disk controller. The old controllers IDE up to what the ATA - 5 (also called Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra DMA/66) supported LBA 28 bits, which allows you to use the 120 GB HARD drive max.

  Since ATA - 6 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100), you can use IDE hard drives of more than 128GB.

  So if you want to, you can check your IDE HDD controller using a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition). Then you might find out what IDE controller is and what drives are supported.

  See you soon

• 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.

• Tecra 8100 white plus-ecran only starts

  I have a Tecra 8100 (disc hard 12 GB 700 MHz, 256 MB of memory) running Windows XP and Win 98 dual-boot. It was OK for ages but suddenly developed the following fault. Any help to heal would be great. When you turn it on, normally, the screen remains blank, the hard drive is ringing and the lights are on, on the front panel. No keyboard entries do start/start etc.

  When you press the off button, sometimes it'll just off as usual, at other times it will be bleep 30 times, then stop. Keep the power off button will require cutting as it should. Sometimes, lights up the screen and you can start up to Windows XP/WIN 98 etc but the PC freezes on the way to start, or when he gets there, you can't do more with it when this happens.

  The CMOS battery is down to 2.77 volts instead of the 3 volts, it should be, I took out memory, tried both sticks of memory in slots and nothing makes no difference. I think that it is an intermittent fault, but it's a common fault, like others on another site to help describe EXACTLY the same symptoms.
  EVIDENCE OF THIS PLEASE!

• How do I disassemble the Tecra 8100

  I had power supply problems with my laptop recently a model of laptop Toshiba Tecra 8100 No.. PT810C.
  The cap on the back for power was coming loose. It was firmly attached, but power on the laptop out, relying on the cord at the back in general would result in turn. It's probably just a connection not tight with only one hardware item, and I am currently disassemble the laptop, to see if the problem will be easy to fix.

  Now, I already said, removed all the various material on the bottom which is detachable, more unscrewed the screws holding things together, but I hit a snag. I can't find where things are held together and do not have a good scheme to look to know. Does anyone know where I could patterns for these types of devices, or even a guide for anyone new to dismantling computers laptops?

  And not to be rude, but please don't post any warnings on the dangers of the work on laptops or suggestions I have a professional working on it.

  The value of the laptop is signifigantly less cost to ensure that the work, which means that is not an option, and even if I made a mistake and the ruin of the laptop, it is nothing more than a paperweight as it is currently.

  Hello

  The problem is that a manual disassembly are not published by Toshiba :(
  I think that these documents are not for public use and, therefore, it is really hard to find all the details.

• 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.

• 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,.
  Dan.

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

  All advice appreciated!

• Linux on Tecra 8100

  I just installed Kubuntu Linux on my Tecra 8100 500 MHz. I ran the Live CD for compatibility, and everything seemed OK although "very slow - poss. combination of cpu speed and CD reading speed."

  In any case, I partitioned the drive with 2 GB for /, 256 MB for /swap and the rest for/Home (6 GB). The / partition could no doubt be bigger that I have 356 MB of free space.

  I can say that everything has been recognized including PCMCIA network card. It starts in KDE with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768, and I can connect to the Internet via eth0. Shared Samba on my main desktop PC are available.

  I intend to use the laptop for the purpose of demonstration to customers (websites). I'll probably add other software, but have not yet tried follower. So far so good.

  Hi Mike

  Thanks for the posting. The problem is that Linux is not supported, and each user is alone. If you want to check out Linux forum here and you will find some useful links for the use of Linux on Toshiba laptops.

• Tecra 8100 - does not start and no activity on the screen

  Hello

  My Tecra 8100 not start or take me to the BIOS Setup. It lights up, swirls the hard drive, but there is no activity on the display. The only way I can get something on the screen is turning with the F12 key when I get the 'ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive "... message. So I tried the traditional method of updating the BIOS, found on the Toshiba site, but nothing helped. The machine seems to read the disk (that contains the downloaded BIOS) but does nothing. It is just there for centuries, with the disk light.

  The last two days I have trawled thro much views and even took the whole machine goes to check the connections loose, but I found no answer yet.

  Can someone out there please help?

  Thank you very much

  Hello Rory

  I did the BIOS to be updated several times, but I've never seen this message at startup upward. You did it the traditional method as described in the document which you will find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07?

• Tecra 8100 cannot establish a DSL connection

  Tecra 8100 can't do DSL connection.

  On win98se, all parameters are the way the manual of my provider tells me.
  The material indicate a problem with the network card.
  I tested the DSL connection on no prob. 2 different pc if the signal is good.

  I think that maybe the problem is in the connector between DSL-cable and network cards.
  How can I test this?

  Anyone?

• Tecra 8100: bios update of cd. exe does not command line

  I want to update the bios of my Tecra 8100.
  I downloaded the bios, but the pc has no floppy, I cooked up a cd bootable like this

  When I start the pc, F2, press c to boot from the CD-ROM, I get in a dos environment. I went to the drive Z, "dir" and see the bios.exe that I've burned to cd. To run it I type bios.exe and continue to be 'command unrecognized file name' when I type dir *.exe, he does not see the file either.

  Maybe I forget something here?

  Hello

  Your described method does not apply to Toshiba laptops.
  Each computer laptop manufacturers supports various BIOS update procedures

  Toshiba on this page we:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/downloadDetail.jsp?soID=356848&PF=true
  Here you can download the latest version of the BIOS for Tecra 8100

  The 4810.25 package must be unpacked everything first.
  Then you should check the files available.
  There is a readme.txt file that describes how to update BIOS using the ISO to CD.
