• 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:

  At the present time, I have a laptop Toshiba 8100, PIII, with Windows XP version 2002, 597 MHz, 256 MB Ram, with a Board of grahics MX Savage S3 Graphics Inc.. Hasving recently bought a Medal of Honor "Allied Assault" PC game, loading, I receive the following error message:

  If I had to update my graphics card the 8100 would be powerful enough and would need to change anything else?

  Please keep things simple as 'I'm only a learner. "

  Thank you very much

  Hi Dean,

  This game is very complex and graphics card performance. Unfortunately, the generation of graphics card in your Machine is not powerful enough. Sorry, but I think there is no way to update your graphic card.

  What you can do, is to change some parameters of the game (low resolution, no details or something like that).

  Good bye

• 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: memory slot problems

  I have a model tecra 8100 not: PT810L 12 c 42.

  I had problem with slot B mem, so collapsed to use it. Then I upgraded my RAM and inserted a 128 Mb TOSHIBA THLY6416G1FG-80 RAM PC100-222-620 slot A and used for a month. Then he suddenly went dead one day and did not boot at all.

  I took it to the point of service, they found somehow it work by sticking a piece of paper btw Aries and the cover. I used another week with ram cover duck taped it. Same story, then dead in the middle of winXP, switched off and no boot again. It took to the same service point, they tried some other RAM chipsets that it refused to start.

  The interesting thing is; When they inserted a faulty RAM in slot A and non-use slot B we get the message "memory incompatible chipset" on the screen. With the RAM mentioned above in the slot B (problem as always) and the A we get nothing, just a blank screen, DVD slot starts green lit, but nothing.

  WHAT SHOULD I DO, PLS HELP

  What is the RAM causing problems? What must a chipset that is exactly compatible with the model no pls?
  Is it the two locations of memory A or B, their change could solve the problem?

  This is the machine he itself, must it be thrown away?

  ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

  Hello

  I n know where you tried to upgrade the memory but as Lisa suggested this was not a serious technician. I changed and upgraded memory on multiple PCs, and you must use 100% compatible modules! You shouldn't t install the modules with a brute force or use strange things as a communication between the housing and the memory module.
  Possible slots are damage due to use this procedure. But I hope you're a lucky man and everything will work correctly.

  If you n t know which modules are right and taken in charge so you should contact the service partner authorized Toshiba for the right and the upgrade modules.

  Good luck

• Tecra 8100 problem after BIOS update

  Greetings
  I have a tecra 8100, 700 mhz with 256RAM,.
  and it works a treat, until I decided to update the BIOS, the date of the previous version was 1999!

  As I run an OS linux on this unit, I downloaded a version of the Bios boot image and loaded on startup, it reported the success of the update.

  My problem now is that the system starts fine but extremely short slow,.
  It takes 15 minutes to start and is virtually unusable.

  I ran several tests of comparative analysis and tests of memory of Hiram boot CD and the only problem in the report was my 700 CPU running at 114.82. And of couse running, the CPU runs at 100%.

  I deleted the cmos data and be restarted using the default BIOS settings.
  Long searched the net and cannot find an answer.

  Help, please.
  was soon Munka

  Hello

  I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and found the latest version of BIOS that is 2, 50 - WIN.
  Do you use it?

  The BIOS can be updated only run under windows! That's why I m surprised that you were able to update the BIOS, the Linux operating system running on this computer.

  Try to download the most recent BIOS version and update as described on the help page of the BIOS update.

• 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

  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.

  Thanks for reading and any rear power

  Hello

  Sorry, but it's really not easy to say what needs to be replaced.
  But it s certainly a hardware problem I put t know what should I PIN you meant exactly, but maybe a loose connection is causing this problem I mean a FL-inverter connection

  Here's a useful page [how remove and replace card ups FL on Toshiba Tecra 8100 | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Tecra-8100/remove-replace-fl-inverter-board.htm]

  Maybe it could be useful for you

  In any case, these hardware issues are always delicate, and in most cases, each unique piece, and the connection must be checked. It's not easy, and in most cases and the computer laptop technician should take a look on this laptop

• 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.
