Tecra 8100 - weird autonomy

When I got to my 8100, I found the battery would drain from 45% to 3%. I thought it was just because the laptop itself was quite old and has not been used for some time. So I bought a new battery on eBay. I loaded a new completely and tested it, but the same thing happens. After on hour consumption, it is said there are about 43 to 45% left, then suddenly it beeps indicating that there is only 3%.
Is there anything I can do about it?
Thank you

Hello

Are you sure that you have purchased a new battery in Ebay.
Several parts are used in ebay and people sometimes sell second hand as a new parts.
I think that the batteries must be purchased directly from the Toshiba certified maintainer. Then you could be 100% sure that you bought a new and compatible battery without any defect.

You know, if the battery is new and not corrupt the quick unloading should not happen.

  • 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.

  • Tecra 8100 - exchange of motherboard

    Hi all.

    Sorry, my English is not very good, but I need help. My Tecra 8100 does not only turn on the leds of power, battery and drive hard, but does not (Nothing on the screen).
    I need to replace my motherboard and it is B36084962019-a (Tecra 8100 model PT810E-01152-IT) but I think only B36086672015-A motherboard.

    Can I use these model instead of my?
    Thanks in advance to all.

    Hi tibi_1,

    Your English is ok and train me it s understandable so don t you worry about this and welcome to the forum :)

    About your problem, I can t give an exact answer, but a Council: contact an authorized service provider. I think that in this case you need 100% sure answer and you can get it from professional people only because it s a user to user forum where you can talk with normal people like you and me.

    Then get in touch with the guys, they will help you and if you are not familiar with laptop disassembly, they can help you to swap the motherboard.

    Good luck! ;)

  • Tecra 8100 seeing all installed memory

    I'm working on a Tecra 8100 laptop for a friend. Machine does not seem to recognize the memory installed in location B at all. Is there something in the BIOS to force her to perform a new analysis or I'm just looking at a broken slot? Everything seems OK visually and clips seem sound.

    I agree with Feliks;
    Module of RAM or housing could be faulty.
    You should try the RAM module in A slot in order to check the functionality.
    If the same RAM would work in the slot, but not in the B slot then I guess the slot B is damage.

  • 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, 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.

    Georg

    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 only start in safe mode

    I seem to have lost the display drivers for my Tecra 8100.

    Have you checked the Web from Toshiba site?
    I doubt that this is because there you can download all the drivers.

  • Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM and HARD drive

    Hello
    I just got a Toshiba Tecra 8100. I do not have this small a HHD and I wanted to know what size I can get it up to. I know y thread already asked this same question, but the technology continues to go better then perhaps there are HHD I can get.

    I am also wanting to upgrade the RAM. I've seen places that sell 144pin PC100 512 MB and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this 2 of them or not.

    Any input would be great!
    Thank you
    Doug

    Hello!

    The Tecra 8100 was delivered with HARD s up to 20 GB drive. I'm pretty sure that this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits ([www.48bitlba.com]).
    I put t know what HARD drive you have at the moment, but a hard HARD 40 GB or 60 GB would work in this good old classic.

    In addition, the Tecra 8100 can be upgraded to 512 MB of RAM. So that you can t upgrade your laptop to more RAM.

  • Install W2K on Tecra 8100

    Hi all

    I am trying to install W2K on a Tecra 8100, but I think I'm doing something wrong, because it keeps failing.

    If I just insert the CD it starts to start a load several files at a time when the Setup starts Windows 2000 (present at the bottom of the screen) and the installation crashes with a blue screen and the c0000221 error material unknown error \systemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll
    I read that, during installation, you will need to press F5 (in the screen where you can load a SCSI or raid driver) and then choose Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC, but after doing this I get the same error.
    I have no additional material attached, it's original configuration.

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem and get W2K on my laptop?

    Hello

    I think that this question has nothing to do with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) or similar.

    I read about the error systemRoot\System32\ntdll.dll message, and there is no particular reason for this error.
    Sometimes some service packs missing cause this problem and sometimes hardware malfunction (RAM or HARD drive) could be responsible for a BSOD.

  • 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.

    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.
