Tecra 9100 - hooking up TV - please help

Guy

Would appreciate any help or advice

PS I seem to use the s3' graphics card

Hello Steven

I really put t think you will be able to do better. I use my 32 "LCD TV and the picture quality is not much better. The quality during the games and watching movies on DVD is perfect but write something is not possible. The symbols are too small and blurry.

  • Tecra 9100 - help to choose RAM

    It comes to earlier put that on for some reason any got locked and marked "assumed answered", when in fact it wasn't.

    Eldorado reported me to the answer of Markus77. Thank you, but Markus77 or Eldorado say they tried the modules that listed there and actually pushed them to work in a Tecra 9100. The link in the response of Markus77 only points to one of the many similar provider sites I've seen, who say that the 2x512MB modules are supported. The point is, Lewislite had tried about 5 different brands/replacements and none of them were all-purpose, that they either slow his system or it could not start at all.

    I asked, because I want to upgrade my current 512 MB too, if someone had actually he managed successfully on a Tecra 9100, or if it is one of those rare instances of a model with a motherboard that is insufficient to hold over the limit prescribed by the manufacturer, which for the 9100 by Toshiba 512 MB of cache. Maybe because most of the laptops will accept 2x512MB, suppliers assume just the 9100 will do too and so offer them to anyone willing to buy them. But has anyone actually done and got to work?

    The fact that Toshiba are 512 MB modules is not in itself a response, because they could be directed to other models. The fact remains that Toshiba say the maximum the 9100 is 512 MB, and Lewislite tried 5 different modules to try to go beyond that and found that none of them would be.

    Then, everybody in fact successful to do a better job Tecra 9100 with more than 512 MB or have memory suppliers are mistaken for this model?

    Had a look at the detailed Tecra 9100 here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp?nav=Download

    It shows that Kingston 512 MB KTT3614/512 RAM is compatible. I am assuming that you can run Modules 2 x 512 MB.

    Make sure you use PC2100 DDR memory. PC2700 should work, but there may be a compatibility issue.

  • 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 does not supply power to the top

    Hello

    I got Tecra 9100 laptop computer and you have a POWER PROBLEM.
    Basically, it got stuck at the start of the OS and I was unable to click or move the mouse to do something. So I held the power button to turn it off. I do not turn on again entered game coz I had to go somewhere.

    So when I tried to move THE next day and he won't power upward. I can see a GREEN LIGHT but can not hear any CPU, the FAN, the monitor or the hard sound. When I connect to the AC adapter, I can see the LOAD LED but nothing else seems to be powered.

    I also tried to replace the memory Module, but still won't power upward. I guess that the motherboard does not have to be ABLE so nothing is turned. But the one thing that I do not understand why the POWER LED on (GREEN LED) is on, unless it has the power source.

    Can someone tell me what I need to do?
    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hi Sonia,.

    I suggest that you try to remove the battery and power supply so that all power of the laptop is turned off. Reconnect AC power and try to turn on the laptop. If it works, then re-install the battery. I think that the electronics of power sometimes get "stuck" and this procedure usually receives smooth them.

    If the unit still does not power on after having tried the above procedure, then I suuspect there must be a problem of internal material in which case you must take the device to a partner of Service authorized for rectification.

    Kind regards

    I recently bought two used Tecra 9100 (guarantee is expired, unfortunately) and they are both in great shape. I couldn't be happier with them, but alas, the sound came out on one. I checked through all the General solutions, Device Manager, reinstall drivers, purchase new sound card on eBay, test with a sound card in the other system of work...

    I tested the drive with a 16 MB SD card and a 1 GB card, of which none were detected (even though I updated the driver for that also).

    Installing the driver for the card his Yamaha returns a warning message telling me that "the driver has been installed not."

    I cleaned all contacts with alcohol and q-tips several times.

    There is no device not recognized in Device Manager.
    The OS is a new installation.
    The BIOS is updated to the latest version (ver 1.60).

    Hi Daniel,.

    The message that appears during the startup process, which would indicate that is the boot sequence is incorrect and the laptop tries to start from a lan device, or there is a problem with access to a HARD drive or bootable CD.

    I first try to access the BIOS boot screen (press ESC as soon as appears the screen flash Toshiba) and check that the initial MESSAGE is successful, then access the BIOS (F2) Setup and carefully check all the settings to ensure they are compatible with the laptop.

    Finally, I would like to check the boot sequence so that CD-ROM followed by HARD drive as the first two points. (You can of course put HDD first, I prefer just CD first me).

  • Tecra 9100 - no wireless connection

    Can anyone help please?

    The wireless in the toolbar icon has a red x and will not let me connect even though I see my router.
    Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? I have Tecra 9100 with Windows XP SP3.
    Thank you

    Hello

    The icon in the toolbar with a red cross?

    Well buddy, have you checked if the WLan card is properly recognized in Device Manager?
    Usually a first step to clarify if the wireless card is ok or if something breaks down.
    In the device-> network card Manager, you should see the wireless network card.
    If there is a yellow exclamation point, then try to update the WLan driver.

    If the driver has been installed correctly and there is no yellow exclamation mark then the next step would be checking the settings of network connections.

    Check if the wireless network connection is enabled (Start button-> settings-> network connection)

    Check it out!

  • Tecra 9100 - installed like 512 MB RAM, but it slowed down my computer!

    After much fumbling around trying to install my new 512 MB of RAM, I turned on my computer to find that it starts much more slowly. A message popped up saying 'Memory Module added' and my computer shows 768 MB is installed which is correct, because I already have 256 MB installed in Slot 1.

    So why on Earth is my computer even slower! I bought it to speed up the thing! My computer is slow to start, is less sensitive and much better with just the 256 MB of RAM installed.

    I think I might have damaged the RAM or the Slot 2 because at first, I inserted it incorrectly. They should have a video demo on how to install it because the manual didn't help me that much!

    The RAM is crucial and supports my cell phone because I ran tests to determine what RAM I need.

    Can someone help me please!

    Hello

    Well, it is possible that the new RAM is malfunctioning.

    But have you checked the speed of RAM? How much MhZ is the module supports?

    The Tecra 9100 supports PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) module and it runs at 266 MHz.
    If the new module supports a lower speed that the old second module will work also with lower speed.

    Moreover, I would not recommend using modules without name. The performance is bad. Kingston modules are much better.

  • My Tecra 9100 does not start correctly

    Hi all
    Please give me some advice.
    The last time I used my tecra 9100 that it functioned very well. Then yesterday I turned it, it seems not initialize properly for the first seconds (light flashing disk showing done something) and then I heard a beep, and although the power was on, the hard drive light exploded.

    Also during this time, my screen was completely black like when the laptop is turned off and has not changed at all.

    What is going on? I can't know if there is a problem with my screen or the real hard disk (?)

    I of course rebooted and rebooted and no change.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hello Hans,.

    You see the Toshiba "splash" screen when you first turn on your notebook? If you do then the display isn't obviously faulty and the problem will be with your hard drive. If your screen remains blank from the moment you turn on then it is most likely that you view is faulty.

    It could, of course, also have problems with other components that cause the symptoms you describe, for example a failed motherboard.

  • Tecra 9100 comes on intermittently and turns off after 10-15 seconds

    Referring to a Toshiba Tecra 9100, model No.: PT910E-602SF-FR

    The power button normally doesn't light up at all, even if sometimes it starts normally, starts to load windows, then always turns off after 5 to 15 seconds in any case.

    It always requires the batteries very well, but it won t turn on. I ve checked the ram, hard drive and I re - set the default bios - nothing prevents to cut if you can get it to turn on.

    Any ideas what could be the problem? Any help appreciated, it s the second time I had - the same problem the last time!

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Have you already tried to clean the fan? Maybe a lot of dust blocking the fan for laptop can start t, and then turns off itself due to a higher temperature. It would be interesting to try to clean it.

    But in my opinion, you've done everything you can do, and it looks like a malfunction of the motherboard. If cleaning using fan doesn t I think the motherboard is faulty or something else. If you are familiar with the disassembly of the laptop, you can try to fix it yourself with second hand parts. Otherwise it s time for a new laptop I think

  • Tecra 9100 - no audio device after XP Pro install

    The audio device does not appear after installation of xp pro sp2 on Tecra 9100.
    I tried allsorts to research on forums and websites.

    I need to locate the audio device before get drivers?
    I know this is a very old problem but I tried for 12 months with no result.

    Any help appreciated.

    WOW!
    You are still using the good old classic? Surely she s or it was a nice laptop but maybe it's time for something faster? ;)

    Back to your question;
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you can find drivers Tecra 9100.
    You should look in the Archive (in product type click Archive instead of the laptop)

    There are two audio drivers for Win XP.
    She s Yamaha audio driver version
    -5.12.01.3141
    -6.13.10.2152

    I guess the 6.13.10.2152 is a more recent who is available and I think that you should use it!
