• Tecra R950-104 - can I replace ODD with SSD?

  Hello

  Is it possible to replace my DVD drive with an SSD with a HARD Drive Caddy?

  My laptop is a Toshiba Tecra R950-104.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I found on the internet some UltraSlim SATA HDD/SSD mounting frame that allow the use of 2nd 2.5 HDD/SSD drive instead of ODD in Notepad Tecra R950 but to be honest I m not 100% sure if the BIOS recognize such additional device.

  I know that computers Toshiba laptop (Portege and Tecra) series different takes in charge these updates in the past but this replacement was not supported by each laptop model.

  It depends on the BIOS and in the event that the BIOS recognize the 2nd HDD/SSD drive, the system should be able to recognize 2nd HARD drive

  Hello

  HARD drive problems do not portable but depend on the use of HARD drive and use of portable.
  The HARD drive is a wearing part. Sooner or later every HARD drive was going to die.

  This problem can occur because the HARD drive is affected by shocks while moving the laptop. In addition, there a lot of different hard drives on the market. Some are less expensive because of the low quality and some HDD cost more because of good quality.

  If you keep the eyes on the quality of the HARD drive.
  But to be honest, I would never buy a laptop HARD drive. I replaced my HARD drive with an SSD. Its much faster and more sustainable as a HARD drive

  According to this document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P50000R01.htm - Toshiba Tecra A10 will be supported Win7.
  This means that all Win7 will be available. If you can't find them, I assume that they will be released soon.

  Hello

  I know Toshiba has never issued notebooks with the 64 bit version of Windows XP. And that's why Toshiba tools, drivers, and utilities are not available for any 64 bit OS.

  But I read a few computer gossip and news on various Web sites and possibly drivers Vista 64 bits and tools may be available in the near future.
  We'll see. But don t expect any new tool XP renewals. XP is spent

• Tecra M9-104 with docking station - DVI resolution

  I wonder if anyone can help. I have a Tecra M9 - 104 running Windows XP. I also have the docking station to go with it. The great thing about the docking station, it's that it can out to two screens as the port on my M5 Replicator could not do.

  I bought two identical external screens that have a native resolution of 1440 x 900. I went into the Nvidia display configuration and set up to display both (one is plugged in VGA and one DVI port). However, the display on the DVI monitor is wrong. After further investigation I woke up the menu of the monitor on the screen to see that the resolution actually be issued is 1280 X 1024, despite Nvidia screen saying 1440 x 900 has been the output. Whatever I do, I can't increase the resolution on DVI port.

  The only thing I could find on Google and these support forums is that the maximum resolution on the DVI port on a port replicator is 1280 x 1024, but it was for the M1 and M2 series. This laptop is the last series and as such, I expected that the spec had been updated at this time.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Could be due to a limitation of the video driver on the laptop, or you can try to download a utility that requires to use a different resolution, its called Powerstrip (do not have a download link sorry).

  Be careful with it though, you can mess up your video driver

• Can I use the Modem 3 G on my Tecra R950-104?

  I have a Tecra R950-104, and when I remove the battery, there is a 3 G Sim Card slot, just like it says in the manual.

  The problem is that Windows (Win 7 64 bit) does not recognize any 3G modem in the computer.

  So, this means that only some models have the modem, but all have the slot for the sim card?

  I have already installed the 3 G Modem driver, downloaded from the Toshiba site, the driver has been installed without any problem, I have a Sim card that works - tested in a 3 G USB Modem - but still I can't do any connection because Windows does not even a modem.

  You are right, some models have the 3G module inside and, unfortunately your model does not have it.

  How corect this?

  Hey Buddy

  Above all it is a 3rd party software and it in my opinion, that this has NOTHING to do with the laptop.
  I'm not quite sure if anyone here use this screensaver m and I m do not know if you will receive an exact solution how solve this problem of screen saver.

  I would recommend so remove this tool from the operating system and reinstall again.
  In the meantime you could clean the registry using CCleaner free tool.

  Once you have reinstalled the software screen saver check simple settings and check if you can choose and other profile screensaver

• Tecra M3 or get overheated - need to wait for the new motherboard

  My Tecra M3 (serial number X5621357G) fan started working at maximum speed in November.
  Technical support Toshiba in Greece kept for repair of 26 November 2007 to 14 December 2007.

  They changed the motherboard and the fan. After this repair, the fan started working again at maximum speed and immediately after that the computer has been 'frozen getting' (has stopped working - had to pull the power cable to restart).

  Toshiba service asked me to reinstall Windows, but this doesn't solve the problem.
  Took the computer back to ASP on December 24, 2007. Now, they say that it is still a hardware problem and they have to wait for a new motherboard. It will be available on January 7, 2008!
  I don't have a laptop for over a month.

  Hello

  Really, I can understand your frustration and it s always a stupid situation if any equipment malfunctioning, and if certain parts need to be replaced.

  I guess you have to wait a little bit more because the motherboard seems to be on hand and must be provided of the warehouse of head of Toshiba.
  Extra, you should consider that you sent it to EPA on December 24, 2007 and as I m not wrong most companies and service points are closed for Christmas

  Good luck and please don t lose patience. Happy new year

• Tecra A8 - 104 speakers do not work on Linux Ubuntu 7.04?

  I installed Ubuntu 7.04 and tecra speakers are silent. The headphones work fine. Any ideas what to update? Thank you

  Hello

  I m not an expert in Linux but it looks like the audio driver works correctly and it's only a matter of adjusting the sound!
  Please check the settings of Linux-> sound

  Try running Kmix and there should be a separate volume control for "via" - change that to heart!

  In addition, I recommend you visit some Web sites on the Linux Umbuntu.

  Good luck
