  Hello
  I'm a bit of a beginner, but I hope it's a simple question - can I put my tecra 8100 with a CD - RW, or combo dvd cdrw drive? I think I've read enough to know about changing caddies & Hubcaps etc - I don't know which drive would work - SD-R2102?
  Any help gratefully received. !

• 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 - upgrade RAM

  There was a discussion here ("Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM") on the upgrade memory.
  He said that for TECRA 8000 - capacity maximum 256 MB memory (2 x 128). (unlike TECRA 8100 - which can be upgraded to 512)

  Does anyone know if the BIOS change may allow 512 MB with TECRA 8000?

  Thanks in advance,
  Piotr

  Hello

  I don t think that after updating the BIOS on the Tecra 8000, you will be able to use the 512 MB of memory.
  Like you said you can use max 256 MB (2 x 128 MB SDRAM)

• 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.

  Problem: If I try to burn a dvd/CD, the system performs a hard reset and is inexplicable.

  What could be?

  Hello Stefan

  It's not easy to say why but maybe sometimes it s a burning question of the software?
  Have you tried using different burning software?
  I recommend to check if this problem occurs with different burning software.

• 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. :(

  Welcome them

• 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: 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

• Replace the power supply for Tecra 8100

  Hi supports,

  I have Tecra 8100 where his original power supply is dead. I need to buy a new one, but I found that Toshiba has replaced the model of PA2444U adapter with a new model. What model adaptor which is now compatible with Tecra 8100?

  Thank you. I really need an answer because I need to work with the laptop.

  Hello

  You need universal adapter with PA2444U part number. Google around and you'll find it.

• 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

• 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.

• 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?

  + The message was edited by: removed link - bad info +.

  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.

  I hope I could help

• 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 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.
