• Tecra 9100 wireless network problem

  I'll have a chance by putting my Tecra 9100 with my home wireless network. The network seems to work very well. My other laptop connects to it without any problems and I can connect the Tecra with the ethernet cable. But the wireless connection, it cannot be successfully established by the Tecra.

  She claims to be connected, but he receives no package, and could get no internet connectivity. When I try to 'fix' the connection, it sits there for a while before telling me that the IP address may not be renewed.

  I managed to connect the Tecra to the network of the next door without penalty, which suggests that there is some kind of problem with our network interface. I tried to reproduce the exact settings from my other laptop, so I don't understand what the problem is.

  Any idea would be appreciated with gratitude!

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what is happening here. The functionality of the laptop is ok and it's very confusing if it works with other local wireless networks.

  I recommend putting your access point to the factory without some specific parameters settings and try to connect it.

  Sorry, but I don? have another idea.

• Tecra 9100 Wireless upgrade path

  I don't see an option to upgrade the built in the Wireless 'g', but no one knows if this is possible? If this isn't the case, I suppose that a 'g' pcmcia card will work, but I have to turn off the built-in radio. Someone at - it confirms it please? Thanks in advance - Roger

  Hello

  As I know there is no way to upgrade the wireless card. You can just built a g standard or, as you said, some use another solution as wifi PCMCIA card.

  In my opinion, avoid any problem. The map that you don t use more, you can disable it in Device Manager.

• 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)

• Tecra 9100 cann't find the internal wireless card

  I have Tecra 9100. Recently he started to act strange. Sometimes (rarely), it cannot find its internal wireless card or / and hang (freeze). When I check the device manager card is simply not there. After the reboot, the map pops up sometimes, but not for long.
  I checked the event viewer, but the only Error Message is:
  Source: Service Control Manager
  Event ID: 7000
  Description: The OrangeWire USB enhanced host controller service could not start because of the following error: the specified driver is invalid.

  2 USB ports are working perfect. What is the link between that message and the internal wireless card?
  Any ideas how to fix? I'm with Windows XP SP2.
  Thank you.

  I put t think the WiFi problem could be related to the USB enhanced host controller service. I don t see a consistency

  You can try several steps; first try to install the latest driver WLan.
  Access card WLan (device-> Properties Manager) properties, and then clear the option to save energy.
  Additionally, you will find different option in the Advanced tab.
  I can t Advisor was 100% what options need to be changed because each wireless network card supports different function.

  Whatever the case the advice above will not help not I think there could be something wrong with the OS files or registry keys.
  In this case, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of clean operating system might help.

• 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.

• Tecra 9100: How to enable the WLan switch?

  Hi, new here.

  I have trouble getting the Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card to work.

  I installed all the latest drivers on the Toshiba site.

  It is activated in windows and the switch on the front of the laptop is on. 6 led is off.
  The FN + F8/Wireless icon button does nothing.

  Windows repeat me any available wireless network.

  When I try and turn on the wireless card switch network device software Toshiba it just says, 'wireless communication is disabled. Please activate the wireless communication switch. »

  The switch on the front would be tired?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Oceaness

  Hello

  I guess the 6 LED's LED wireless card.

  This LED should shine when you activate the WLan switch on the side of the laptop.
  Looks like you have not activated the WLan switch.
  I put t know exactly where the WLan switch, but you should check the front of the laptop near the headphone jack.

  Check it out.
  Then the LED should shine and you must activate the antenna with the FN + F8 key combination.

• TECRA 9100 - loss of sound, WLAN, BT, and SD function

  Hello

  during the operation of a USB - HDD and mp3 player on my Tecra 9100, abruptly stopped, power to the WLAN-, Sound-, Bluetooth, SD - Card.
  For example: no sound microphone, WLAN switch does not work, reports of Bluetooth: no power supply.

  On this issue, I heard more often in some forums. My warranty has expired. Regular service is more expensive than a Tecra 9100 of second hand.

  Can anyone give some advice? Which piece can be damaged, motherboard, I I/O-board?

  Post edited by: apco

  It sounds really bad.
  As far as I know there is only one Board and if something is wrong with a part of the motherboard only management as a whole must be replaced!
  As you have already said this replacement is not very cheap, because the jury is one of the expansive laptop parts.

  Without diagnostic tests, no one will be able to provide a just and final diagnosis.
  That's why I recommend you contact a technician from laptop to a cheque

  After these checks you can find out more details on the breakdown and could decide what you what to do; buy a second hand laptop or try to repair the old Tecra

  Good luck

• Tecra 9100: WiFi not detected by WIndows XP

  Hello! I have a Tecra 9100, which has just been reinstalled with a recovery disc and all Win XP updates and patches were made. And Toshiba questions have been corrected... BUT still my WiFi card is not found by the operating system. What could be the problem?
  My Bluetooh works all fine, and meets a power on/off, but it is there no reaction of the WiFi card. I also tried to replace the WiFi card with another, but still no action.
  Is there a "diet" only for the WiFi card that could be verified? Y other components that can be replaced? I have another computer I can take/switch components of...
  Edit: I also upgraded the BIOS to 1.60

  Hello

  The operating system recognizes the WLan card in Device Manager?
  I found information that the wireless card is an option on this unit.
  This means that there could be no wireless network card. But you suggested that you tried to install another card. Have you used one compatible?

  Moreover if you have installed the WLan card must be the 2 cables; White hand and the Brown cable to the

  Then, if everything has been installed correctly you can install WLan drivers.
  To detect the wireless network card, you need to activate the switch on the front side of the laptop, and then FN + F8.

• 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 S2: No bluetooth connection is possible - why?

  Toshiba Tecra S2
  Model PTS20E-18S032GR number
  purchase 30/01/2006

  There is no bluetooth connection possible. I have the connection in front of the laptop button 'ON' and the hodkey + F8-online bluetooth support 'ON '. But I have every time an error with the 'Bluetooth Manager (v3.01.03)' bluetooth software-online button 'new connection '.
  Error message: "Bluetooth is not ready."

  I can not connect a practice or a Bluetooth headset. I made a mistake, or I forget somethink?

  Hello

  AFAIK that Bluetooth is optional on the Tecra S2 and is depending on the model purchased.
  The switch at the front of the laptop is a wireless communication switch, and it has nothing to do with a Bluetooth device.

  In my opinion, you should check if the Bluetooth is available on your device. Check the Device Manager. You can also check the bottom of the unit. There you should find a Bluetooth label. If the label is available if the device has Bluetooth

• 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 - Ethernet is declining

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Tecra 9100 that I used to connect my ps3 to wireless internet. For some reason my Tecra is down the Ethernet of the ps3, the strange thing is if I turn the laptop off the battery only there is no problem but as soon as I plug I save it starts to give up the connection again.

  Any body know what is the problem?

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't have a specific answer to your question, but maybe you should try to install the latest drivers LAN and WLAN. Also check the properties of the device and make sure that all power saving settings are defined to the maximum level.

  In Toshiba surveillance tool when the laptop is connected to the power supply running set everything up.
  Intel Speedstep option implemented.

  I hope this will help.

• Tecra 9100 ' NMI: channel check "BSOD".

  My laptop two years Tecra 9100 1.7 Mhz computer faithful began to get a very regular blue screen of death. This occurs only when it is running on battery power and the error message is:

  Hardware malfunction

  NMI: Channel check / IOCHECK.

  Does so within approximately 30 seconds 2 minutes of running on battery power.

  I was hoping that it was a problem with corruption of driver so I ve completely flattened the thing on day 1 with a full drive reinstall with 'the CD ROM product development' and the problem persists.

  The battery should t be worn, as I have little use, I even kept it out of the machine to avoid wear out that I almost never need to use the machine in a mobile context, i.e. There is a practically new battery! It's only in the past month (since I got wireless broadband) I used the battery at all.

  Just to remind the laptop is totally stable on the sector and never blue no screening while tension in this way. The problem occurs only when powered by a battery. I flashed the Bios up to v1.6 v1.5 with no effect. The problem occurs with a completely new install from the CD ROM recovery and also when it is fully configured with XP SP2 and all the XP2 post updates.

  Anyone any idea what's causing this error? Any diagnosis I could do?

  Thank you very much.

  Tony.

  Hi Tony

  Sorry, but I have bad news for you. This message occurs if there is a problem with the main Board. I can't say exactly what it can be, but I think that some piece of hardware is not recognized correctly.

  Contact the Service partner in your country and Tony let check the laptop.

• New: Tecra S1 and BlueTooth

  Hello!

  I got my S1 last week. After starting it, it had BlueTooth Software etc installed already, but I haven't used STI. After installing WinXP SP2, I can't use.

  I tried to install the Toshiba Stack 3,10, but after 56%, it requires that I turn on the BT device. Accordingly, I have set the switch on the front side and press FN + F8 and press 'ok '. But after a minute or two, it keeps demanding that I turn on the BT device.

  My model number is PT831E-67CUD-GR.

  Any ideas?

  See you soon

  Hi Lutz

  AFAIK utility TOSIHBA Bluetooth does not work properly with Windows XP SP2. Windows XP SP2 supports the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. If the user has not installed the utility and the TOSHIBA Bluetooth stack on the system, then the Microsoft Bluetooth stack will be installed with Windows XP SP2. After that the TOSHIBA Bluetooth utility does not work with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack.

  I use Bluetooth too and there is no problem. Before you start Bluetooth Stack installation switch on wireless connection and with FN + F8 to compatible Bluetooth switch. After this try to install it again.
