• The questions on my Tecra 9000

  Tecra 9000, XP, only previous problem a year ago, when to replace fan. Installed by Toshiba.

  So it's clear weird. My 'l' key types of himself. I should be what like word, outlook or any where where a cursor appears "l" s begin to appear by themselves - as if I was leaning on the l key.

  I thought maybe it was a keyboard hardware/issue but when I click on any menu the selected operation jumps. For example if I click on the menu start, it is almost impossible to choose the desired option as the highlight jumps up and down randomly.

  The only thing I can think is an overheating problem because it's worse in the late afternoon. In addition, it has been stupidly hot in my office recently.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello Mitch

  It's a very silly situation when portable such things do on its own. If you think it may be an overheating problem, the best solution is to clean the machine from dust and leaving the camera to catch his breath. Watch closely if it will happen again.

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if this happens only with a key it is possible that there are a few hardware malfunction. If I close down the l - key I have the same situation. Menu start is almost not possible to use as the marked parts are jumping up and down randomly.

  If there is no contact with the solution your service partner. I'm sure it's just a default key L.

  Good luck!

• Question about the temperature of the processor on Tecra 9000

  Hello. I would like to know what are the current temperatures for Tecra 9000 1 GHz. When I run an intensive application processor like Prime95, the temperature rises to 59 C. Isn't too much? Yes and I also recently replaced old thermal compound with AC MX-1.

  Thanks for your replies.

  Hello

  Thus, 59 c are quite OK, that they are almost under the PDT of the CPU. If the temp would be more than 70 ° C or more then it would be critical but not to 59 C. The Pentium 3 M should typically generate a higher temperature if your CPU is, comparing to another cooler system. Could be also dependent on the applied paste you´ve cooler...

  Don't worry Don t, everythings OK. :)

  See you soon

  Hello

  According to the specs of this device comes with 30 GB maximum HARD drive unfortunately there is no public document what capacity max you can use, but I think that the HDD with 40 or 60 GB should work well.

  The laptop HDD 2.5 is big and it will fit SelectBay adapter.

• Tecra 9000 - BIOS block 1 damaged

  I have a Tecra 9000 with a broken BIOS.

  I looked at upgrading the BIOS FAQ [1] and searched the forum (found [2]). However, I have no Windows installation and at least my Toshiba Tecra 9000 doesn't have a floppy drive, so I can't follow the procedure described here.

  You will find my update of the BIOS for the laptop with the serial number 32222375G: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=DE&userAction=SMP_RESU LTS_PAGE & partNumber = PT900E-08YZG-GR & serialNumber = 32222375 G & USER_ACTION = Serial % 20num ber

  So, what should I do?

  BTW: I can't real poster on this forum. I can't post the exact BIOS error message because the forum software claims that I used profanity. The relevant part is contained in the subject line of the thread.

• How to change minPCI WLan on Tecra 9000

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra 9000 with 11b wireless.
  I bought a minPCI 54g card, but I don't see where is the mini on the Tecra 9000 pci card,

  My question is how do I change the WiFi card mini pci please?

  Thank you all

  Hello

  I think that if you can't find the WLan slot at the bottom of the unit, then it must be hidden somewhere under the keyboard!

  The keyboard is usually fixed with two screws that are hidden under a thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons cover.
  If you remove the two screws, you should be able to loft the keyboard.

  But be careful; It s to connect to the motherboard with a flat cable

• Tecra 9000 - LED flashes and cannot start

  I recently got an old laptop Tecra 9000. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a HARD drive (it was taken and sacked by the former owner).

  I bought some hard drives that I thought should work in this machine, but all that seems to happen is that the power light blinks 7 times, pauses, then flashes once (and then repeat this.

  I guess it's an error code any.

  Readers, I've tried are a MK4025GAS and a MK4026GAX. The result is the same on both.

  Can we say what means this error, or even tell me the part number of a disk that is compatible with this machine?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi Guy

  One question; have you tried to power the laptop without inserting the HARD drive?
  Usually if the laptop is ok, it should be possible to boot the laptop. Of course the laptop will not load the Windows operating system because the HARD drive is missing but it should be able to start and the led must Flash not!

  But if it flashes, it means that the fault was detected on the motherboard and the LED lamp sends a blink code.
  Short blinking means 0 and 1 long flashing
  Error code starts with LSB (least significant bit)
  for example:
  0000 0001-> 1000 0000

  This code you need to turn it into hex and you will get the error code.
  But in my opinion, no one will give you an answer what it means.
  Each laptop clean error code series offer...

• Tecra 9000 reload Windows XP

  I'm trying to reload my Tecra 9000 with Windows XP sp2.

  The CD I have another OEM but I guess it's always the same and so I should be able to use this copy?

  Basically, all charges fine but displays 3 yellow question mark dots Device Manager... 1 is Modem PCI, 1 video controller, and the other is peripheral unknown.

  I downloaded the drivers for the identified devices, but what do I need for the unknown device?

  If anyone has any ideas then please give me a shout.

  See you soon,.

  Hello Joe

  In my opinion, you should try to install it. In this case, you need to install all the drivers and Toshiba designed tool later. On this path, it is not easy to say what write you about, but maybe a little tip can help you.

  On the Toshiba site, there is link to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=TIC2 knowledge base. Please go there and under Searchtext use the unknown word. Perhaps the first document can help you. He asks how to identify an unknown device in Device Manager?

  Good luck!

• Issue when installing fresh Windows XP on Tecra 9000

  I have a Tecra 9000 running Linux.

  I would like to install windows XP but the Setup CD I charge readers and then crashes to windows is the loading screen. I have no recovery disks or driver for this computer as I bought it used. and I don't know why he struggled.

  The SN for the unit is Z1086914G ST900-0.
  I have read forums about similar problems and think it might be the chipset driver for the HARD disk.

  I can't find a driver for nowhere so I can't try this line of thinking.

  Anyone has any ideas.

  Hello

  As I remember the Tecra 9000 does not support RAID or SATA controller that would require RAID or SATA drivers, so I put t think that your problem is related to the missing driver

  Have you tried to install Win XP SP2 from container?
  Are you sure that the HARD drive is OK? I think you should check the HARD disk for some problems initially.

• Tecra 9000: SD card reader does not work with XP

  I've made some progress on this issue, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQS, although the main problem is that FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF memory address is shared by the SD card controller and device memory SD card. Unless we find a way to edit the registry to resolve this conflict of memory, the simple answer is that the SD card reader does not work under XP.

  I think that it would take a major surgery of the register or re-writing of drivers to move the address of memory used by the SD card device, I always work on this for now.

  Can someone support Toshiba or Toshiba Marketing explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" sticker on it, when Toshiba does fully support XP on the 9000 series?

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hi David

  Unfortunately, I n t think that you will find here a Toshiba marketing person or other departments. It is ONLY a user to user forum.

  What you say, it is simply NOT true.

  The Tecra 9000 was delivered with 3 different OS.
  It was delivered with Windows XP Pro, W2k and Win98. You can order all the images of this Toshiba home Toshiba service partner. That's why Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
  Tecra 9100 has been bundled with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and also supports Windows XP!

  Of course, there are different models with a different hardware configuration, but all supports Windows XP.

  I put t know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card, but I guess you don t use the image of Toshiba. That's why you installed your operating system isn't properly. Because you are a newbie you don t know the Toshiba all the driver installation must be done in the right order and all Microsoft QFEs must be installed also.

  As you can see you must pay attention to many important things if you want to manually install the operating system.

  Good day

• Standby power 7 Tecra 9000

  Hello world

  I realized that newer versions of Toshibas Power Saver
  available for the new notebooks Tecra. I use Power Saver 4 on my Tecra 9000. I just tried to install the latest version of PowerSaver on my Tecra 9000. Installation seems to work, but after completing the procedure, an error sound due and energy savings has not started properly, but I have no massage error. If I try to run the energy saver manually I don't receive a massage of error, that I don't have permission to start the process!
  Is it possible to install and use a newer version of the saving on the Tecra 9000? What is the latest version that I can use on the Tecra 9000? I hope that no version 4?

  Best regards

  Mason

  Hi Matty

  Can you please tell me do you have had problems with energy savings? For each series of notebook for each laptop model there are aligned in each model versions, and you can use only the energy savings that are made for your model of 9000.

  Believe me, the best version for your Tecra is the version that you can find on the CD tools & utilities. If there is no problem with energy saving, it is not necessary to make any update.

• Sound problem with Tecra 9000 on Win XP SP2

  Hello!

  First! Excuse me for my English!

  I am trying to install a Tecra 9000 with Windows XP SP2. The problem is the noise. My XP does not recognize the sound card, I am trying to install the drivers, but the system answer me 'the driver was not installed' and I don't know how can do to his works.

• Tecra 9000 - error message with Windows XP SP3 home edition

  Hello

  I have a Tecra 9000 in very good condition, until yesterday, I have no problem!
  After updating my Windows XP service pack 2 on the "service pack 3", everything works fine but when I press the button 'TOSHIBA controls' and 'mouse' for setting, Windows error message occure: "run a dll as an app"!

  Even if I go to "Start" and "Control Panel" and press the mouse, after setting close icon, or just simply do nothing (cancel), the same message! I did not notice any other problem with the TOSHIBA utility!
  My driver for mouse is "Logitech mouse ware, 9.40! Can you help me?

  This oldie works well with Windows XP SP2 home edition and in my opinion you should use without SP3. Try to remove the SP3, and I hope that everything will work properly again. Problem is that the old tools and utilities designed for Toshiba probably aren't tested and updated to SP3.

  I have more Satellite M70 and use sill with SP3. I don't want to risk anything and have problems.

  Hello

  When I insert the second battery (PA3074U-1BAT) in Slim Select Bay the battery does not charge and is not recognized by the Tecra 9000 laptop: status led on the front is not lit.

  If I insert the DVD of Tecra drive for example, everything works fine.

  I know that the battery is 100% working since I put it in another Tecra 9000 occurs flawlesly.

  Why doesn't the laptop to work with the second battery? Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I put t knows exactly why the second battery does not work in your Tecra 9000, but I found another display created by your all about this Tecra 9000 and looks that you have disassembled the laptop, and maybe you have damage or not connected something.

  In my opinion, every single computer laptop part should be checked again!
