• Tecra 8100 turn on problem

  I have 2 8100 both now have the same problem. Will be the only power up after about 10 or more power on button pushes.
  Both use XP sp2 and both screens very well. They will work very well, so if you come to light morning sector led and lcd led work as battery leads but does not illuminate. After pressing the power on button sometimes up to 30 times and the fires of the machine upward. Any ideas?

  Hello

  Sorry, but I must ask you something. How do you push the power button. You push shortly and fast or you push and hold down for a few seconds?

• 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?

  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.

• Display brightness turned down to Tecra 8100

  Hello:

  I bought a Toshiba Tecra 8100 used - after two months without problem the monitor suddenly turned down the
  brightness - in the beginning the turn-down was little, now, it's quite often.

  I tried already several things: first of all I thought it was because of the battery... but after the purchase of a new problem was still there. Sometimes after freezing
  several times by closing or simply by pressing the gel
  button, it works very well. So far, I can't find a source of
  the problem (also changed the parameters of power... is not serious)... so I'm completely at the end of my nerves - in addition to this small, but very serious problem, I'm still very pleased with this end computer.

  Hoping to find help in the forum.

  Best regards, Bjoern

  I too am in the same situation, but I just wanted to clarify the problem. The machine starts very well, but sometimes the backlight fails completely. It's pretty sporadic, although invariably reboot fixes the problem (temporarily). Is it a software or a hardware problem?

  Thank you, David

• Tecra 8100: solid white vertical & screen turns off

  Hello

  My Tecra 8100 has (or had) which seems to be a 'known fault': screen off, can be returned by pressing fn + f5 or the small metal button.
  He also acquired a solid vertical white line about 1 mm wide and 30mm from the left edge. I managed to stop the problem of (backlight?) deletion of frame (thanks to those who responded to my previous, now locked, question!) by taking the cover off the screen and by disconnecting and reconnecting the ups. So now the screen always remains on. Unfortunately the white line is still there, and then that previously, the screen was normal except for the line, all right (i.e. all except 1 "of the screen) is now just multicolored stripes.

  What do you think? I have been informed that the inverter is no power the backlight, which suggests that the problem of lines is something else. But they occurred at the same time. In addition, as far as I remember, when I was playing the connecting the inverter lines came and went (and then came and remained). Would it still a bad inverter connection? Or a broken inverter? Or more likely to be something else?

  see you soon,
  George

• 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.

• 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.

  I need to replace my motherboard and it is B36084962019-a (Tecra 8100 model PT810E-01152-IT) but I think only B36086672015-A motherboard.

  Thanks in advance to all.

• 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: display suddenly will Dim

  Hello

  during normal operation of the Tecra 8100, suddenly the screen darkens. The display still works, only the backlight is dark. By pressing the small pin, which is turn off the backlight when you close the screen, light reappeares. Sometimes for hours, sometimes for a few minutes, but especially the second. A restart of the computer solves the problem for at least half an hour. What can I do?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  When the screen will Dim can you get by pressing any key on the keyboard or move the mouse?

• 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.

• Tecra 8100 - slot memory B do not work

  Hello

  I recently bought a Tecra 8100 and I decided to upgrade the ram from 128 to 512.
  I did not buy good modules, but in any case, when I opened the laptop, I discovered that I had 2 modules of 128 MB...
  I did some tests:
  -1 module in the slot, he was allowed (128 detected)
  -1 module on the slot B, nothing happened, the laptop won't start...
  -switch modules, always 128 detected
  That's why I think that my slot B is dead...
  Someone has any idea what I can do?
  Maybe a bios update will do... I have yet to try this...
  Furthermore, what is the combination of keys to access the bios?

  Hello

  There is not much to do if the slot B is defective. If you don? t want to repair you can use the module in slot A memory of 256 MB. The number of compatible 256 MB module is PA3051U-1NME.

  BIOS settings, which you can open by using the ESC key.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8100 TV problems? What Socket? cable?

  OK so I have a Tecra 8100 laptop

  first thing I want to know about the housing - it is a Jack of 3.5 mm (NOT of RCA or S-vide0)

  > so I finally managed to get a Jack 3.5 mm cable video, audio...
  > which connected to the TV... nothing

  I have the cable entry?

  in display properties, I installed the drivers of duo, and there are a few additional options...

  > what confused me, it's that there are 2 monitors there... but is it because of the VGA?
  > I tried pressing FN + F5... but not had any luck

  Is there something simple that im missing like a cable?
  > or a piece of software...

  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.

• Change of assignment of IRQS for Tecra 8100

  I think that there is a conflict of IRQ on my Tecra 8100. I have a PCMCIA wireless card to use IRQ11. This IRQ is also shared by the Yamaha audio device. And ALSO by the USB root hub :-(

  I can't work on how do I turn off the USB in the BIOS - I put it to "DISABLED", but the USB root hub is always detected in Windows. I will try to update the BIOS to see if I can solve this problem.

  I can't work also how turned off the sound board - is it possible?

  Initially, I had the PCMCIA card in the PCI 1 port (which had an IRQ 11 cardbus controller). I tried to change to other port PCI (with IRQ 7) but the card still used IRQ 11 - now, I have FIVE devices sharing IRQ 11. USB, PCMCIA, 2 PCI cardbus and audio controllers.

  Any ideas on how I can get rid of the USB or change the audio device IRQ?

  See you soon,.
  Dan.

  Hi Dan

  I guess I missed the reason why you want to change the IRQ... but anyway, all new Toshiba of devices normally share an IRQ - the IRQ 11, which is the standard IRQ for the PCI bus.
  Means that the devices directly connected to the PCI bus, normally all use IRQ 11. And that of the way it is supposed to be and works perfectly.
  I know, from ISA only PC, that it is forbidden and required to make the problems - but the PCI and at least the world Toshiba it's ok.

  BR

  Tom
  So, my suggestion, reset all the IRQ to the values that the OS or the driver gives it by default.
  If you have any real problems with this configuration the state here on this forum and I'll try to help you.
