• Tecra A8: external keyboard connected to the serial port: the necessary specific configurations?

  Hello
  I want to share a monitor and an external keyboard with Tecra A8 and a desktop computer. To do this, I bought a switch 2-port Linksys where I plugged the external monitor and a keyboard. With the monitor without problem because there is a specific port for this. However my Tecra has only 3 USB ports and a serial port 6-pin where I connected (with a 6-pin Mini DIN adapter) on the keyboard. When I turn on the screen it's ok, but the keyboard (I also tried a mouse) does not work. Do I need a specific configuration on the serial port to accept the external keyboard? If so, what commands do I need on the XP operating system?
  Thank you
  Luis

  RGB (monitor) port used to connect the external monitor.
  If you want to connect the external keyboard, you have to use the USB ports.
  Additional legacy USB emulation must be enabled for the keyboard.
  These settings you can change in the Toshiba HWSetup under control panel.

  If you connect multiple devices to the switch USB (hub) Please be sure that the USB hub using external power.
  A low power USB could be a reason for the external USB device failure.

• Tecra M5: How to use the FN + F2 fast locking with external keyboard keys?

  When to use a docking station and the keyboard of the UBS, the function key ("Fn + F2") on my tecra M5 as will not work. The USB keyboard has a Fn key, but when you press on with F2 nothing happens. Can I lock the screen another way?

  Usually, by default the FN keys work only on the internal keyboard.
  If you want to use the function key FN keyboard USB external, you must first activate this function FN.
  This function, you can enable in the Toshiba HWSetup located under the control panel.
  Here, you will need to select the keyboard tab and assign a function to the FN key on the external keyboard Fn key window.

• WLAN on Tecra 9100 - LED should go orange if the s/w keyboard shortcut NOT installed?

  I bought a Tecra 9100 that had been restored to XP SP1 and without good Toshiba utilities that most drivers seemed to be OK - for example screen OK but USB has been 1.1 until I added the Intel Chipset drivers.

  I can't get the WLAN card to work by sliding the switch (close microphone) - also, it does NOT appear in Device Manager. I spotted a post below (which was locked) where Pedro said WiFi hotkey software must be installed to make it work. Two questions:

  1 if the s/w keyboard shortcut IS NOT installed should always be able to mount the light Orange / appear in Device Manager
  2. is there an alternate download site because I tried 20 times in the last 15 hours at: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/cmod-en-20070925121500.zip (for the common modules) and the site just seems to be 'dead' - nothing is received at all

  Thank you very much in advance - I want to become a happy member of Tosh' club... Cheers, Brian R.

  PS; The Tecra has a WiFi tag on the bottom and even a MAC address and I have not yet looked for nothing changed so much material.

  Pedro post follows:
  + Hello +.

  + Is the map original WLAN or you have upgraded on your own? What is with Device Manager, this is the card of wireless network which are listed there? +

  + For the use of WLAN, there are few requirements: +.
  + WLAN switch must not be broken or defective.
  + Wireless network card must be compatible one.
  + The WLAN antenna must be connected correctly.
  + Wireless network card must be installed properly (the right driver must be installed) +.
  + Wireless network card must be enabled in the Device Manager.
  + Wireless network card must be activated using the FN + F8 key combination (Wireless Hotkey V2.0.0.1 must be preinstalled) +.

  (1) first you should check if there is a yellow exclamation (unknown device) in device under network adapter Manager.
  If you find any unknown devices in the network adapter section then your laptop was not equipped with WLan minPCI card!
  The shortcut key has nothing to do with the WLan card status in Device Manager! The keyboard shortcut software only controls the function FN + F8.

  (2) don t know what you mean! The functions of link!

• Tecra 9100: Unable to connect external monitor to the APR III Plus via DVI

  Hello
  I have a laptop Tecra 9100 that I try to use with an Advanced Port Replicator III (APR3 +) to connect to an LCD flat screen widescreen Dell via the DVI connector, but so far without success.

  All other connections on the APR3 + operate without problem, the monitor stir however not until Windows finishes loading, how it shows a totally white screen with black bars very close down vertically.
  I upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS and tested all the cables, but in vain. I also carefully searched from Toshiba Web site, but the only document which deals with taken ports supported on the APR3 + I can find does not list my laptop model at all.

  Please can you tell me if this mode of operation is supported and if it is how to enable it?
  Alternatively, if it is not supported, could I use a VGA - DVI cable to connect the APR3 + LCD flat screen?

  Concerning
  Ross.

• Tecra 9100 stopped after one hour of work

  I bought a Tecra 9100 and he stopped after an hour of work or less like frozen.
  Using the keyboard or the mouse to restart did not work.
  I have to use the power button to shut down and restart after stop down.
  I tried to reinstall windows xp and change the ram, but still the same problem.

  Thank you very much!!

  Hello

  How long have you used the laptop?
  Eventually the temperature inside the laptop could be responsible for these issues of freezing. A similar problem occurred on my laptop. He frisottés due to overheating.
  I just cleaned the fans and cooling grids modules with the vacuum cleaner and the problem disappeared.

  I think you should also check the cooling modules and try to clean it carefully.

• Tecra 9100 does not start in windows-black display

  Hi, just found this forum.
  I have problems with my old laptop Tecra 9100 that ive had since.
  I stopped last night, started this morning and now is no longer boots.
  It gets past the Toshiba screen and windows xp scroll bar screen seems in good condition.

  But then the screen turns black and does not go to the XP login screen.
  But windows does not work because if I press on enter newspapers in my profile (I hear the theme music for connection etc, and the HARD drive light is on, connect to windows...) It's just that I have no display at all?

  I also tried an external monitor, always the same, Windows XP, scroll screen still appears, but nothing else appears on the display.

  Any ideas? Hardware failure? (But the toshiba screen and 1 XP appears)? , Because the OS (even thought I can connect, although "blind")?

  Thank you

  It's strange... I put t think that there is a hardware problem because you can see the Toshiba start screen and like you say the Windows starts.

  My first thought was that your display is set to external monitor
  Looks like you have tested and nothing appears on the second screen?  :|
  Which is really strange.

  In any case after the laptop started try to use the key combination FN + F5 to switch to another screen, maybe it helps.

  You can also try booting in safe mode. Press the F8 key at the beginning.
  Then choose Safe mode.

• Tecra 9100: Get general i/o failure at startup

  Hello.
  No one knows where, in England, I can buy a card of e/s for a Tecra 9100. Get general i/o failure at startup. Reconstruction has not changed this message.
  See you soon

  It might not b advice to u this problem. Something similar happened to me some time ago when I lent my laptop to my neighbor's daughter. No matter what I did it just would not start. I even updated the BIOS etc nothing works. In the end, I discovered that it was because someone had to drink n eat everywhere on the keyboard. I took part, the keys to clean the base (u should try this step first), it still does not work, ultimately a kind person has donated an old keyboard of its storeroom Office (not hard to replace just delete the band). After replacing...

  It started beautifully...

  Let us know if this info is helpful.

• Tecra 9100: Headset does not work

  My Tecra 9100, headphone connector does not work. Do the good internal speaker. If I plug in headphones or external speakers, the interns are being extinguished, but external devices, I don't hear anything.

  My sound card is generally, I thought that there could be a chance to solve the problem simply say - and reconnect wire/Council of the front-end connectors to the sound card... but I never did any technichal stuff in a Tecra, so it would be nice if someone could give me feedback where and how to open it, and if it's still a chance to solve my problem.

  Hello

  If you can hear the sound from the internal speakers as well as the sound card works correctly.
  In your case I recommend you first check the audio settings in the audio and audio devices you can find in the control panel.
  Check all THE audio controllers.

• Tecra 9100: Accupoint skids permanently mouse to the side

  Hey guys!

  I have a Toshiba Tecra 9100 with a built-in mouse AccuPoint, I never really liked.
  So I plugged in a USB-mouse standart for using Windows XP.
  But whenever Windows is running, my mousepointer is drifting sideways. If I klick anywhere, I must, with one hand, difficulty the Accupoint for the opposite direction of where my pointer is moving and with the other hand using my 'normal' USB mouse

  I received the new Service-Packs of XP, latest Version of BIOS and tried to say the Toshiba control center to disable the AccuPoint by "auto". But he always arises when I touch it.

  I don't know what the problem is. Is it possible to completely disable this AccuPoint? Or do you have other ideas what this could be?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  If you use an external mouse I recommend you to disable the mouse on your Tecra AccuPoint. I had similar problem on my Tecra M1. I also disabled AccuPoint-mouse and touchpad.

  Now, I can work without this very annoying problem.

• Tecra A20 + external mouse problem

  Hello, I have some problem with a Tecra A20 which is connected to a docking station. If I start the laptop with the lid down and you start Microsoft Outlook the left button of the mouse on the external mouse acts as a right mouse click (the right button of the mouse serves as a right-click). Only, the fault occurs in Office applications and does not appear when the laptop is started when the cover is opened. I tried to reinstall all drivers for mouse/touch pad, Toshiba software and office software. I've also been through all the power save and docking of parameters, but the problem persists.

  Hello

  Is the same situation in your case?

• Tecra 9100 - W-LAN-Mini-PCI-card upgrade

  Hello everyone,

  I ve got a with the W-LAN-onboard Tecra 9100 working doesn´t.
  Instead of repairing the old W - Lan Mini-PCI-card I want to move to a new standard (802. 11 b / g with 108 Mbit/s max) Mini-PCI card.

  I prefer the mini Notebook-WLAN-Gigabyte GN-WIAG02 PCI adapter.

  Is it possible to chance the card built into the Gigabyte card?

  Hello

  It s nice that you want to upgrade your wireless mini-pci network card. But I suggest you rather a card with an Atheros chipset. The best choice is perhaps a card with a Chipset of Atheros 5005GS since I upgraded my Tecra 9100 with this card and it works like charm. (and not so expensive as other s cards)

  To swap the card, you must remove the plastic cover of the keyboard and unscrew the two screws in order to release the keyboard.
  After removing the keyboard, you will find an aluminum side cover left which is set with a special torx screws. The best would be to get these torx screwdriver to loosen this bolt and remove the cover.
  After removal, you will see the map with the cables that lead to the antenna. (One white and one black) Be very CAREFUL when remove the Connector cables, because if damage you one of the cable connectors there is no return since the cables are cables "Mini-coax" and cannot be "connected."

  I warn you, just do it if you're really sure and if you know what you're doing, because I won't take any responsibility if damage you something on your machine. Otherwise, I wish good luck and would appreciate some comments on your success.

  See you soon

• M2 - fixing external keyboard keyboard problem does not work either

  Hello

  I have a user with a M2 Tecra keyboard works properly, 2 or 3 keys (Enter, space, lock), the rest of them when press cause a very quiet "beep" of the noise coming from the laptop.

  I guess this keyboard was defective - I have attached a usb keyboard to the laptop, but which has exactly the same symptoms, they keys do not work and when you press the beep noise is coming from the laptop, no characters appear on the screen.

  The laptop starts with the Windows XP login screen very well.

  Any ideas what caused this, and what is the solution?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Sounds to me like the keyboard on the motherboard controller went bad. Because it causes the default on an external keyboard, then your motherboard is bad. If it was just the keyboard, then external it would work fine. But first, all types of keyboard connected to a laptop computer are routed via the keyboard/controller integrated on the motherboard, then the characters are displayed. When this goes bad no keyboard does, not even an external. And the only solution that replaces the motherboard. I hope this helps.

• Using the external keyboard with keyboard internal

  Hi people,

  Just got my new Tecra S4-122, of course without a built-in numeric keypad, so I have such a thing too. The problem now is that I'm not able to use the numbers on the keyboard without having to activate the internal "keyboard" (letters using normal numbers), is not really useful, because I can't use it during the strike. Is there a solution to activate ONLY the external keyboard (Labtec thing on USB)?

  Thanks in advance!

  Best regards
  PhIP

  Hello

  Unfortunately, it s seems there is not other way to allow the keyboard with FN + F11.

  Best regards

• Wireless LAN on Tecra 9100 evil: card not recognized or system crashes

  I have a little problem with my tecra 9100. When I want to use my wireless network, it works sometimes and sometimes the pc does not even see the map. but when it works for awhile, then the complete system crashes! and I have to reset the tecra. now I use an external wireless (3com) and features a large, but what can be the problem?

  Hello

  Without accurate control for laptop, we can just speculate what may be the problem. If sometimes the WLAN card is not visible to the system, I guess there is a contact problem and system has no contact to the card and card cannot be detected at all.

  When it blocks for laptop may be due to loss of contact on the map. In my view the contact on the motherboard must be verified by the service. If you don't want to just use the external solution and take advantage of the WLAN functionality.
