• Tecra A3 - 152 - not able to read CD - R (or CD - RW), burned by itself or another PC

  Hello

  My TECRA A3-152 offers the CARPET * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S player (1.40 firmware version) with the Microsoft (dated the 1.07.2001) 5.1.2535.0 driver
  The laptop is not able to read the CD - R or CD - RW engraved with any other PC (or alone). The CD is reported as empty.

  However, the reader is able to read commercial CD - R with SW or sounds or other stuff.
  After several hypotheses about the SW problems or compatibility issues, I intend to replace the drive with another.

  Any suggestion?

  Thanks - regards
  Antonio Giarrusso

  Hello

  Maybe it s only a problem of compatibility. In my experience not on each CD or DVD is compatible. I mean that not every CD manufacturing is supported by the firmware and so this question might appear.

  But let's try some common tips.
  First of all, I would recommend delete Sonic record now and the DLA.
  Then restart the computer and enter the registry.

  1. in the registry editor, expand my computer, and then expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  2. expand SYSTEM, and then expand CurrentControlSet.
  3. expand Control and class.
  4. under category, click on {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}.
  5. in the right pane (topic area), click UpperFilters and delete. Click then click LowerFilters and delete is also.
  6. click on Yes to confirm the deletion.

  After this procedure, restart the laptop and try to read the CD

• Tecra M4 - dead battery - is this a BIOS or firmware problem?

  Hi all

  I'm on a Toshiba * Tecra M4 * model * PTM40E-01L01RGR * Bios version * 3.5. *
  From one day to the other, the battery is completely dead - this means time battery falls about 2 hours to zero in one day.
  Now, the battery may not be chanrged no more - it's as if there is none installed.
  So no start no power no power cord and if you unplug the phone cord is switched off immediately.

  From my experience if availability of battery becomes slowly shorter and shorter the battery is old or fails. But if she doesn't have a function from one day to the other, I'd say it's a typical problem of firmware or bios.

  Is there an update of the firmware or bios Tecra M4 (support page SAIS not - last date is 3.5 installed) or is it a software patch or solution that I can use to recover the battery live?

  Thanks for the help!

  Michael

  Hello

  All new BIOS updates are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If you use the latest version of the BIOS (compared to the version on the page), then other BIOS is not available.

  Of course, it of really strange that your battery doesn't work more than one day to the next, but I would still recommend a new battery to check because it s really sound like a battery problem.

• Tecra M10 - CMOS battery is low and powers down and upwards automatically

  Toshiba TECRA M10 - 10W
  Model no PTMB1E-00P003EN

  This laptop was working fine last week and is only about 1 year.

  Now to the power he reports the CMOS battery is weak and penetrates into the configuration screen to set the date and time.

  Once this is done, it shuts down and no more automatically, but everything works the CPU fan to high speed, no attempt to start etc.

  If you press the power button with the fan running, it will be power downwards and upwards (while it is still connected to the power grid) and again to report a problem with the CMOS battery.

  Any ideas on what is wrong and what can be done to fix this?

  Hello

  First the CMOS battery can be charged while you let the connected AC/DC adapter, for example 24 hours a day. After that, the message CMOS battery shouldn't t appears more.
  Check this box!

  The power automatically power cycle on and off can represent a danger due to a hardware malfunction can you start in Windows or in fact that happen before?
  Maybe it s overheating and you need to clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air.

• Tecra A9, power - battery is not

  I use a Tecra A9. It is about 3 years old now. But I seem to have a problem with the battery charging.

  Connected to the external power supply is functioning oke. But the battery is not charged. When you remove the power cord, the laptop is running on battery power.

  I removed the battery from the laptop and reinsert the it. Then, it recharges for several seconds, then stops to load again. Remaining in charge is now at about 90%.
  I also removed and cleaned the contacts on the battery and the laptp. But the same thing happened. A few seconds cooldown, it stops to load.

  What could be the problem?

  Thanks in advance for your feedback.

  Kind regards
  René

  > Connected to an external power supply is functioning oke. But the battery is not charged. When you remove the power cord, the laptop is running on battery power.

  I think the problem is the battery.
  It s old and can't hold a charge more. Therefore, replace the battery.

  Check the reference number of this dough... it should be placed at the back of the battery.
  Then, you can google for this part on the net to get the right battery.

• Tecra A8 - 103 - battery flat after only 14 months

  After just 14 months on my Tecra battery appears to be dead. I said 'just' because of, I got Toshiba Satellite and after 2 years of daily work, on Satellite battery lasted longer than on Tecra Tecra,!
  Seems to be more geared towards professionals then Satellite Tecra? Hmmm

  In any case, I really tried to keep the battery in good shape, that is why, at least once a week, I plugged the power cord off and Tecra to run on battery, just to let the battery, at least once a week completely empty left and then recharged.

  But he was evidently just wasting time, because of, the battery now lasts 7-8 minutes!

  The question is: what is the time 6/12/xx months? Toshiba ensures the battery will last as it should when the computer is new?

  I mean, this isn't a problem, I'll buy the new battery, but I'm really disappointed by this situation. I wasn't expecting Toshiba!

  Hello

  As far as I know EACH laptop manufacturing offers only _one year warranty for the battery packs_.
  Why? Because it s nothing unusual that the battery would start to lose own performance after a period of use.

  AFAIK after over 500 times of loading/unloading procedures, the battery will begin to lose performance.
  This means reduces the battery life and someday you need to replace.

  My computer laptop doesn t work on battery power. The power of the battery takes about 2 min same it s fully charged. I know that I should replace, but I use this laptop as desktop Pc. It s always plugged in.

• Tecra S10 - Does battery stops if it is full load?

  What is the Toshiba Tecra S10 stops charging the battery when it is charged?

  I mean, when the battery is charged, I have to unplug the power cord?

  Hello

  Notebooks stops charging the battery after it has been fully charged and you n t need to unplug the power adapter.
  If a battery is fully charged should turn the blue LED of the battery and the battery could be disconnected from the power supply.
  Only when you are not using your battery for weeks (a lot) and the battery charge decreases by a few percent of the self-discharge it will be recharged again at 100%.

• Re: Tecra A8 RTC battery?

  National parts lists one battery Cmos/RTC for my laptop (8312) Although on my replacement card, there is no battery. Could be the cause of the stuck up cooling fan?
  I read that Toshiba is using capacitors instead of the CCF.
  Can someone help me with this?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Why the RTC battery should affect the cooling modules?
  There is no link between the cooling module and the RTC battery.

  Cooling modules are controlled by fan table stored in the BIOS.

• TECRA S2 when battery charging, Wireless drops every 5 min

  Hi, I have a very annoying problem.

  When I'm surfing wireless at home I have no problem, but when I start to charge my battery, wireless turning off every 2 minutes or so to reconnect immediately.

  This problem does not exist when I am in charge battery next to the wireless router. Only when I'm in the living room.

  Is that what someone else has this problem or is - someone has a solution for this?

  Post edited by: jeetn

  The wireless network card supports different options. In the Wlan card properties, you should find a tab advanced.
  There you can change different settings. Please try to disable the power save option WLan Card.

  I don't know if it helps but you know train is free ;) m

• Tecra A11 - Battery Health Monitor - Message: unknown

  Hello

  PC for my TECRA A11 - 12F battery health monitor (2 weeks) shows an unknown messageheatlh.
  If anyone else has had a similar problem and has it been resolved?

  What happens when you start laptop without battery and when the OS is battery charge will be added also? Battery is correctly recognized?
  In any case, the update of the BIOS is good solution.

  If you are not sure that you you need or how to update BIOS let us know.

• Experiences over seven years with the battery life in laptop computers Tecra

  Seven years ago, I bought a Tecra 780DVD, five years ago a Tecra 8100 and two years ago a Tecra S1. They re all still in regular use and I ve used now six packs of lithium ion batteries. My experience suggests that these four guidelines are worth observing:

  1. it is preferable to the hibernation and remove the battery if the laptop will be inactive for more than 2 or 3 days.
  2 operating time vary a lot between the samples of battery even with the same operating conditions.
  3 leave the charger plugged in with the full light on doesn't seem to hurt (despite some of the recommendations).
  4. better is not the first time, that it is unable to charge the battery of junk. The trick described below may reset the battery and get more useful life out of it.

  Tecras see the end of battery life by battery light flashes orange or stay off when you try to reload. Last week when I returned from vacation what happened the 780 (now the WiFi print server) and I felt like déjà vu because all 4 batteries (three on the 780) and the other on the 8100 that I ve had previously fail expired the same way they failed to charge after 7 to 14 days of hibernation with the battery left in. In my view, that it can hardly be a coincidence.

  I still had another 780 old farm and an old battery for 8100 that both failed about two years ago I did some tests. The batteries two 780 showed 10-11 volts on a voltmeter, but when I put them in the laptop and plugged in the charger, the led load always flashed. However, when I plugged the laptop battery already started the grid only, the hanging lamp orange and after an hour or two went green.

  I think this shock treatment can have done in battery electronics forget they were supposed to be dead. Anyway, I did with all three batteries and then ran to see how long d last. The results were:

  (1) the 780 battery failed last week (after 36 months used) can now run the laptop for an hour.
  (2) the 8100 battery (with the active service of 16 months, but 'believed dead' for two years) will now run for 10 minutes or more.
  (3) the 780 battery believed dead for two years (after 19 months used) appears to load but t does not work the laptop. Half of the battery ended up hot and half cold, so now I guess that it s really dead.

  Hoping others will compare notes, I've summarized below how long my battery packs lasted before they refused to pay more.

  Tecra780DVD:
  Original battery: 30 months (discarded too soon. Might have gotten more if I had tried to trick reset).
  First replacement: 19 months (stored for two years, after which reset didn't work).
  Second alternative: 36 months (after reset now works for an hour).

  Tecra 8100:
  Original battery: 16 months (stored for 2 years. After reset now lasts 10 minutes).
  First replacement: 41 months and always well run.

  Tecra S1:
  Original battery: 29 months and always well run.

  All are genuine Toshiba and operating conditions are quite similar for all. Laptops tend to run 4-8 hours per day with the charger plugged and maybe half an hour on battery only. Sometimes we forget and the charger remains connected all night.

  I m now wish I d tried the trick of reset on all batteries as soon as they failed, but at least I seem to have rescued two batteries. Even a moment of execution as short as 10 min is useful on a laptop that s especially power sector. It protects against power failure and you can keep your battery in the fridge until you need it for a trip.

• Tecra M5 turn off randomly, but fans and the l.e.d remain on

  First of all Hello to all,
  I m new on this forum, because until now I had no problem with my laptop,
  I hope that someone will be able to help with my problem,

  I have a Tecra M5 (PTM51E0N903JEN)
  He has recently developed a fault where there is a slight click then the screen turns white and the fans at full speed, the led at the front will also stay on,
  I only really use it on the grid with the battery inside,
  without the power of the adapter to the battery lasts only about 10/15 minutes max.
  the first start of the day, it can last from 10 minutes to 3 or 4 hours without freezing as cela, but after that he did once he continues to do so whenever I try to reboot or sometimes 5/10 minutes after I start windows xp,

  If I play any games or anything that uses a lot of video memory, it seems to crash more quickly.

  Specs are below:

  Windows xp pro sp3,
  3 GB of ram,
  NVIDIA QUADRO NVS110M
  All the drivers etc up to date,
  All windows updates to day to day,

  Does anyone have an idea what could cause this problem?

  I also disassembled the Tecra and cleaned the fan and the heat sink as at first I thought it may be a heat problem, but it happens even after I added a desk fan blowing directly into the ventilation openings on the underside of the laptop.

  The only other thing I thought that maybe the cause was the very old battery, but I've learned since you can actually use the Tecra without the battery in all with just the power supply.

  I'm at loss, I hope someone can help.
  Thank you in advance,
  Bradley.

  Hello

  Temperatures are ok and shouldn't t be the reason for this problem. But in my opinion, you should always clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans and you don't have to disassemble the laptop. You can buy this spray of each computer store.

  But it would be interesting to know the outcome of the Memtest86. Have you tried this test doesn't show an error with RAM?

• TECRA A3 - started as disconnected connected LAN cable

  Hello

  because I got my TECRA A3-152, I experience the network at startup card does not recognize the network cable. The cable network is reported as disconnected. Only after manual toggle the NIC is recognized the cable and network card works fine.

  OS is XP Professional version 2002 service Pack 2 (original English installation).
  NIC: Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast E with driver version 7.29.4.3 Marvell

  Hello Antonio

  It's a very strange question, and I've never heard of this. Anyway, the fact is that you have the most recent driver LAN. I put t know your personal settings, but maybe it's because of some other software you use in your business or whatever.

  To be sure if there is a serious problem, it will be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings. If there is any chance trying to get second HDD and preinstall the unit with the recovery image. If the problem persists perhaps is the card itself is defective. In this case just ASP may do other tests to find out what evil is.

  Sorry, but I don t has a different idea.

  Good bye

• Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c - indicator battery life problem

  Hello

  As from 2015, I own a Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A - 16 c.

  I noticed a strange behavior regarding the battery life indicator. When the laptop is fully charged, the indicator shows 100% remaining. And when I use the laptop, the percentage drops slowly, as expected.
  However, as soon as somewhere around 50%, the indicator is suddenly decreases and says he has only 5 or 4% left and I should switch it on immediately.

  Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Kind regards
  Oliver

  The battery may need calibration. Load and unload completely several times.

  If it happens again, the battery needs replacing. You can check the level of wear using HWMonitor from cpuid.com.
