  Hello

  Well, the Tecra 8100 is not a high-performance notebook and maybe it is not generally possible to watch DVDs jerking-free s.

  But I think you should check several parameters before we abandon ;)
  In order to check if DMA and not PIO mode is available and updated on the IDE controllers.

  Check if you have installed the latest version of DirectX.
  You said that you are using the latest version of the graphics driver. Well perhaps you will check this site:

• Satellite Pro L20 starts white plus-ecran

  When I turn on my Satellite Pro L20 headlights light up and I can hear the fan noise but no picture.
  I haven't tried with external display, same no picture.
  I removed the ram to test the motherboard no beep and always the same screen dark.

  What is the motherboard or something else?

  Help, please

  There is definitely a hardware problem.
  But as you know it's not easy to make a diagnosis.

  This looks like a motherboard or CPU problem maybe. The two parts can be damaged.

  I think you don't have a lot of possibilities.
  You can try to contact the ASP in your country and may ask for verification of the laptop.

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

  As I tried to use an additional screen that worked well until I came to initialize the next day when it would only boot mode safe.
  What I did wrong and how I can fix?

  Detective driver does not work, everything happens as having performed an illegal operation.

  Hello!

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

• 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?

  My laptop Tecra 8100 (EN-02157-PT810E), hung the other day for a difficult start, when I did it on the startup screen goes black and the rest black.
  memory is 256
  128 in the slot A,
  128 in the B slot,
  If you remove the memory from slot B start Ok
  If you put the memory from slot B to A, it starts ok
  If NO id memory placed in the second slot that it won't work,
  The motherboard is dead?
  If so can I get a replacement?
  Offered a reference number 8100 SERIES MOTHERBOARD Toshiba P000304110,
  will this work in my laptop with my processor?

  Hello

  I assume slit B is defective, but it can be repaired and you can't swap the motherboard together. Please keep in mind that this option is not offered by each service partner only some of them have this agreement with Toshiba and offer this repair at low prices.

  You can also use 256 MB in a single location and module memory is 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME).

• 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: 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

  Hello

  There must certainly be a hardware problem. You should contact the service

• Tecra 8100 not start after replacing hinge!

  A few days ago and hinges on my Tecra 8100 receive broken - I had to take full-fledged laptop and replace the hinges. When I finished replacement and try to start, I have nothing on the screen. LED light diodes are to: power, battery, CD ROM (there are no leads to the HARD drive).
  I must put emphasis that I had the problem with the locations of memory (from last year) and I solved this problem by sticking a piece of paper between the contacts (like everyone else).

  Hello

  Who knows what you were doing. It seems at first glance that you plugged the screen isn't properly.
  But it could also be something wrong with the memory banks.

  It s not advisable to put anything between the memory and the housing contacts!
  If you use the compatible memory modules, everything should work properly!

  If you are not able to locate the failure I recommend to contact a technician who has more experience in the repair of laptop as a common user like you and me

• 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 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.

• CD-ROM drive does not eject on Tecra 8100

  I have a Toshiba Tecra 8100 and my CD player will not eject. It only happens when it starts.
  Any ideas, everyone, how can I solve this problem?

  Even when I get it open habit run all disks?

  Hello

  You are not able to open the drive to be on the CD. Is this good?
  Generally, each player has a small hole to open the player manually. You can use a thin wire to open the player.
  But if the reader doesn t work correctly or t doesn't accept and recognize any CD so I guess the drive is dead and only replace the drive can solve it.

• Keyboard does not not on Tecra 8100

  Hello

  My daughter has a Tecra 8100. Not sure if it is virused, but the keyboard does not work. Powers up fine, although slow, is usual (Spybot, CA anti-virus) virus scans - can't find anything, but still no keyboard. Ran a keyboard diagnostic and it says it works very well. Any ideas? (PS ideas where to get a recovery for the 8100 disk, can't find mine anywhere?) Thank you.

  PPS: Since then found that when I start in safe mode, I can use the keyboard? But why only in safe mode?

  Hello

  I think there must be a corrupt keyboard driver file or the keyboard has been disabled in the HWsetup Toshiab.
  Check the HWsetup and activate the keyboard in the opposite case, a new facility would solve that problem.

  But before you try to install the OS you can try to use the System Restore tool for Win XP.

  PS: the Toshiba Recovery CD can be ordered from the Toshiba service provider in your country.

• 20 GB of HDD is not recognized by Tecra 8100

  Hello
  I just got this laptop Tecra 8100 and I am trying to upgrade its 12 GB with a 20 GB hard drive, a. I formatted the drive of 20 GB of my office using a portable USB Caddy before putting it in the laptop.
  When I boot up to install XP, and before she starts copying the installation files, it will give an error message telling me that no player has been found and restart.

  Any idea how do I get the new drive recognized?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I discovered that Tecra 8100 supports only the 6 GB (9.5 mm thick), 12 GB (9.5 mm thick) and 18 GB hard drives (12.7 mm thick).
  It seems that the 20 GB HARD drive is too big and so the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive and you can not install the operating system.

  Unfortunately, there is nothing to see.

  PS: You can try to update the BISO but I put t I think this will help.
