• Tecra S1: Empty screen and beep error Code appears

  Hello

  I have a toshiba tecra s1 and it no longer works, and I don't know why.

  When I start the laptop there is nothing wrong, but after 3 minutes or if the screen is not responding. Then I tried to reboot, it gives a black screen and beeps. The beeps are:
  short, short, long, break, short, short, short.

  And what he repeates himself. When I wait several days it will start again and then after 3 minutes it will "crash" again.

  What is the problem with my laptop? Why it works, and after 3 minutes no longer works?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards!

  Hello

  The laptop starts fine in the Windows operating system?

  Strange beep error code usually appears because there is a hardware problem on the S1 and the POST (power on self-test) cannot be passed correctly.
  If the computer falls down the POST, the computer then returns a beep code indicating what is causing the computer not not to pass on the MESSAGE.

  The problem is that all the different systems of BIOS support meanings of different code.
  As far as I know, Toshiba Tecra S1 uses Toshiba BIOS and only the ASP can read this code and know what it means. I recommend to contact the ASP in your country for assistance!

• Tecra A4 and Win7 - problems with PCMCIA card driver

  I've recently updated my old laptop Tecra A4 - PTA42E - (in great condition however) for Windows 7 and it is now in the best shape ever except for the PCMCIA card. In fact, to have Windows 7 installed I had to rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files during the installation (to .old or .bak) otherwise the new operating system would not start. The same problem has been experienced by many other users Tecra A4 and the solution is available in a number of forums.

  Although I use no more than the PCMCIA card slot, I want to fix this for a reason: If, in the future, I need to re - install Windows 7 for some reason any on this laptop, I have to repeat the same process - rename the pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf during installation, in addition, the new operating system does not start.

  I do not understand that the original drivers from the card slot (Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7, but it is there any updated driver that works for windows 7? And if there's a how can I replace the old drivers in my system so that in the event of re - install Windows 7 I will not have to go through the same process? TI site is no help, and Toshiba does not all drivers to download.

  Last but not least, if there is a driver available, I used the card slot for 2 ports USB 2 or 3 additional which are really necessary.

  Thanks to the forum, in advance

  Hello

  The pcmcia.sys and pcmcia.inf files are part of the Windows System.
  This driver isn't provided by laptop manufacturer, but it is a Microsoft internal driver.

  You mentioned that the pilots of the original card slot Texas Instruments PCI-xx21/xx11 CardBus Controller with UltraMedia) are not compatible with Windows 7.

  To my knowledge, this driver does control not the PCMCIA location but this driver controls the card reader that supports the MMC card, SD card, card xd picture card, SM card, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro.

  However, the Tecra A4 is very old model of laptop. The driver will not be updated for this camera and it looks like Windows 7 drivers never had to be released the driver Toshiba UE

• Tecra M9 and compitable motherboards

  Good day to all
  My Toshiba laptop Tecra M9 PTM91E - 12R features of a faulty video card.
  I replaced this card many times, but it's always get bad after a while.
  My repair shop of my recommended to replace its motherboard in order to get a solution permanent.

  I'm not sure if I am looking for motherboards Compitable with my product

  Can someone tell me please with PART NUMBERS of SPECIFICATIONS AND motherboards that I can buy?

  Thanks in advance for your support

  > Any can advise me please with PART NUMBERS, specifications AND motherboards that I can buy?
  Hmmmm... It is not as easy as you think. Defective parts will be exchanged on mobile units with only identical hardware components. It's a completely different situation than on desktop systems.

  You can visit the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help, but you will see that they will not be able to help you.
  Fact is that Tecra M9 was offered with two hardware platforms. PTM90E and your PTM91E.

  In the end, I must say it's really strange that you have an ongoing problem with GPU defective. When everything is changed on professional way and you take care of the machine and don't forget laptop is cooled properly I don t see the reason why it should be defective over and over again.

  For 3 years I have Tecra A11 and use almost every day for my small business and there is no problem at all. OK I use for typical every day activities such as web or MS Office and not for games or other graphics intensive applications.

  Try to contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for advice. They should have access to the material database of Toshiba and maybe they have good advice for you.

  If possible, send feedback.

• Tecra M9 and M10 wheel Volume does not not under Vista

  Hello

  I hope that someone can help me, I'm Vista using Microsoft Deployment Workbench deployment for Tecra M9 and M10 material and the volume knob will not work. I added the drivers of Toshiba in Deployment Workbench, while they are presented the machines via Plug n Play, volume button do not work. I also deleted the drivers of Deployment Workbench and installed the drivers manually on the machines, this installs fine, but volume knob will not work. I have two development servers, Win Server 2003 and Win Server 2008, the two do not run successfully the pilot slots.

  If I deploy a standard Win Vista Enterrprise 32 bit OS of DVD hardware, with any driver when it is installed, the volume wheel works. I can then manually install the audio driver and the volume button still works. But if I deploy the same exact DVD based OS of Deployment Workbench, the volume knob does not work?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is doing my head and holding up the deployment of the new image.

  Thank you
  Paul

  Maybe you are trying to install the driver Audio of M9 M10 or vice versa?

  You install the driver Chipset Intel and value-added package first? (this is important)

• Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

  We have several Tecra S10 and S11. Freezing randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it throughout the day.

  The Tecra is all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32-bit installation. After installation of Windows 7, we have removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc.), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and Microsoft put updated laptops. So far so good.

  However, after a week or two just work in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Same ctrl + alt + delete does not work. The Tecra should be forced to turn off the power, press and hold the power button.

  Everyone recognizes these "frozen moments". It's very annoying.

  It is not easy to say why this is happening.
  Always it is that Office is preinstalled on almost all laptops Toshiba so I did not thing your laptops can be somewhat different.

  Maybe something else responsible for this?
  Maybe are all connected to your business LAN and there is a problem.
  Are connected external devices which can be responsible for this?
  Maybe some internal software of the company is blocking something.

  It is not easy to say what he can be.

  Have you done tests in the past to see what can be the problem?

• Satellite M35x: while the AC adapter is plugged in the battery start to unload and beep

  Hello

  I'm having the same problem as this person here...
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15116
  My Toshiba Satellite M35x, when it is plugged in, just start discharge and beep.
  He always did regularly, like every two months or more. But these days, the computer was unusable.

  When it IS plugged in, it will start beeping and I'll see a screen like this:

  Then, the computer will die and I can not restart for about an hour.
  This happens when it is plugged!

  The display shows even "generator, AC.
  What is going on? I just can't get anything done.
  It's a beep again and carry out again as I have this type.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Hello

  I can't say that if the problem is truly software related, in this case, you're on your own. Then you should try the following:

  All data backup and recover the machine to check if the problem appears after the relocation of the entire system.
  But don t install something else except the recovery, it's the most important thing.

  The other solution would be to contact a local servicepartner for a checkup of material. They will see if your machine has some serious hardware malfunction, so they exchange defective parts in case of hardware problems.

  Here´s a link to find the service/service partner:

• Problem starting with the Tecra A8 and A9 models

  We have about 20 or more, A8 and A9 Tecra notebooks and each has shown signs of the same problem again. If rebotting and netwrok cable is attached, so they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.
  The A8 has a motherboard replacement (problem existed before the replacement) and is still there now after the replacement. The MB is replaced mainly because the sound card was dead. All machines are running XP Pro OS. The A9 is a novelty. Would be - this driver issue or - this one of my favorite - an update from MS that has caused problems.

  > If reboot and the cable network is connected, then they will not start. Remove the cable and it is a normal startup.

  Hmm that's strange.
  However, I recommend that you check the BIOS settings, please ensure that LAN is not set as first boot device.
  Also check if the BIOS has been updated to the State

  Sorry, but this is really rare and you should try universal workaround solutions that could help resolve this problem.

• TECRA S3 and OS support

  Welcome!

  I would like to share with you how not flexible is Toshiba Tecra S3. My problems:
  1. very low compatibility of utilities Toshiba for Windows 2003 - now don't save uilities which cannot install on Windows 2003 mobile extensions no brightness toshiba functions available.
  2. no software disk for Windows 2000 HARD shock protection.
  3. no software support email contact I can't write any complaints about drivers - only service supported hardware
  4.I supposed to serve this "business machine" portable machine in developing countries - but there is a pilot very low support for other platforms Windows than Windows XP. Laptops are not only office or media players text editors, but has power of desktop PC so please improve OS support in drivers Toshiba.
  5. manufacturers like Marvel or Intel support their chipsets for Windows 2003 with no problems.

  Hello

  Well, one of my friends has a Tecra S3 and he is very satisfied with this unit.
  As far as I know, this device was shipped with Windows XP and all the drivers are available for this device. Drivers Toshiba designed for common OS as W2k, XP.
  If you want to use specific tools and utilities, so you have to use this OS. It of a just done. Mobile computer technology is very different and delicate as a desktop PC. Of course, you can use another OS, but if you can't wait to use special tools.

  For example: mobile video graphics technology is not the same! It of very difficult to get the best graphics performance without high temperatures and overheating problems. In this case the graphics driver Toshiba has an overheating protection. NVIDIA or another s manufacturer drivers doesn t have that option because they designed the drivers for desktop PC not for laptops.

  Toshiba sells many different laptops with different hardware compatibility models. So if you are not able to find the drivers for this laptop, then you should try check the drivers for the other phones with the same hardware devices.

• Tecra 8200 and Win Xp

  Hello

  I just installed WinXp on my Tecra, because I was not able to use an external USB HARD drive. So far so good
  but now, I have some problems with my wireless card und the notebokk tells me every time you start, I need "Toshiba common Module" for my select bay.
  Someone at - he of the experience with a Tecra 8220 and WinXP.
  Thanks for your help.

  Blunma

  Sorry for my writing is not very well English, my normally preferred language is German. So long.

  Some information more than my Tecra 8200:
  -PIII 850
  -384 MB of Ram
  -Windows XP SP1 (I don't have confidence in SP2 so far.)
  -Installation of WinXP was an update on Windows 2000 SP4

  Hi Mario

  I guess you need the common Modules. It is a special Toshiba driver you have to install first.
  This driver, you can find on the delivered tools & utility CD or on the official website of Toshiba. Note: There are different drivers for Xp or Win2000.

  Good bye

• Tecra S1 starts correctly but does not work properly and beeps from the BIOS error

  Toshiba S1 began to regularly plant after a certain period of use.

  Sometimes: BIOS error beeps: short-short-long.
  Sometimes: Blue screen of reduced resolution or screen size reduced.
  Sometimes: Just freezes (frozen) and must be turned off manually.

  Toshiba uses its own BIOS, no one knows what these sounds average beep or can provide support?
  It is a hardware / connection problem between map chart and monitor or is it an error of memory?

  Hello

  tried to do a memory test? If this isn't the case, I suggest you to do. For these tests, I would prefer to use "memtest86" (www.memtest86.com)
  Otherwise I guess that your motherboard is faulty and you need to bring your machine to a local ASP.

  If you need help to find an ASP, here's a good site:

• Tecra S5 - endless beeps and start-up

  Hello

  I have a strange problem:

  Start button / stop
  Beeps without end
  Start screen offers operating system, only Vista Business installed.
  Also offers the RAM test.

  I did the normal and the RAM test extended, without any error. I push the load Vista option and it loads.

  It seems then that the cycle screen all the icons in the task bars. I can't start anything via the quick launch or a tray. Once I loaded any program office all settled and I can use the phone normally.

  Restart or turn on will cause the same behavior.

  I looked at the various newspapers and nothing is displayed on the POST or system failures.

  Can someone point me in a direction where I can start looking?

  Hello

  Beep codes usually occur if the motherboard does not work correctly or if there are some problems.
  In most cases, a beep is displayed if the motherboard is ok and the MESSAGE could be passed correctly.

  But if there's some beep codes at the beginning of the boot order, then this would mean that an error has been detected.

  See this page for more details on the different beep codes:

  Perhaps, it might be useful.
