• Tecra M10 - 17U use second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD

  Hello

  I try one of this popular box that allows me to put a second hard drive in the Bay optical slot, I use a Sata to Sata adapter, so there is not really an adapter and more properly connect:

  [http://www.akasa.co.uk/update.php?tpl=product/product.detail.tpl&no=181&type=Enclosures&type_sub = 2.5%20Enclosure&model=AK-OA2SSA-BK]

  My problem is with the BIOS Toshiba waiting for a STRANGE device in this Sata port and cams out with a "CD" error, disable the Sata port.

  I have a workaround, if I start the PC, BIOS after with what this either in the Bay of the STRANGE, after Windows starts, I have insert the second HARD drive in the Bay of ODD, go to "Windows Device Manager" a 'check for changes on the hardware"and voila, the second HDD works fine , for me, it shows a limitation in the BIOS.

  Y at - it assistance, a Beta BIOS or something else, I have the latest BIOS 3.00 for this machine installed.

  It seems that Tecra M10 does not support a select bay that would allow you to use a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD.
  As far as I know select bay is compatible with the Tecra M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, S1, S2

• Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

  Hello and thanks for reading.

  I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

  It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

  So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

  Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

  I was watching the following BIOS update:

  http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

  ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

  However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

  For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

  Thanks much for any help you can give.

  Hello

  > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

  There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

  The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

  I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
  In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

  Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
  In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

  PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

• Blue screen of death, the Tecra M10 runing Win XP

  My Toshiba Tecra M10 works like a dream for three years without ever gasp

  Until the other day.

  My Toshiba laptop is constantly cycling with a BSoD - then I will start windows - it looks like it'll work - it gets in the paper password on screen - then a few blank screens - BSoD then again repeatedly

  I am running XP Pro SP 3

  I couldn't get my laptop to stop doing this, so I removed the battery and then the power cable and it started again and then when he went to BSoD I took a picture of the screen with my digicam fortunately I have one that focuses immediately and take the picture instantly too

  the ERROR is

  BAD_POOL_CALLER

  Tech Info

  STOP 0X000000C2 (0 X 00000043, 0XC38C0000, 0 X 00000000 0 00000000)

  I haven't changed anything on my PC recently and I have tried all the beginning of the top safe mode and last known good configuration but it still cycles round and round and round

  This laptop is not connected to anything and comes standard with a module of memory 2 MB in it to bog

  the last known good configuration does not either, nor did one of the other options in the "safe".

  So I slipped on the HARD drive and tried to boot from my XP CD - not the recovery of Toshiba, one that I have not tried this one in the laptop again.

  Rather unsurprisingly with no HARD drive in the laptop, I got a different error

  STOP 0X0000007B (0XF78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

  which is I believe the inaccessible boot device - I know, it cannot see the HARD drive because it is sitting on my desk but would wait to boot from the XP CD... ISN'T IT?

  I tried to set all the parameters by default both boot - no difference

  With the HARD drive in - the laptop boots as windows user enter screen with no problems but doesn't stop on this screen - after a few screens blank the BSoD comes up and off it goes again.

  In the advanced startup options, I changed auto-start on setting error so it does not loop forever. and this prevents loop to the start cycle... seems to be changing this setting is not a permanent change

  Then I went into the BIOS and under the mode of the SATA AHCI to IDE controller and the STOP error 0x0000007B (0xF78D2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) is gone now and the pc will try to install Windows until I need to see the HARD drive and then gives up trying to install XP with a no. HHD error (the HHD is based of course on my desk) so it was a valid error expected...
  put the HARD return drive without changing the BIOS back makes it appear the STOP 0x000000C2 (0 x 00000043, 0xC38C0000, 0 x 00000000 0x00000000) error

  HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP please

  Hello

  I think you should test the HARD drive don't you agree?
  In my opinion, this should be the first part that should be checked since the new operating system installation was not possible

  I recommend the use of the tool called: HDD Drive Fitness Test. This software creates a bootable floppy to test. You can use this disk to run a test HARD drive without installation of any system.

  If the error would be detected: replace the HARD drive.
  If no error would be: use the Toshiba Recovery disk in order to install the system. (don t forget to put back the BIOS to default)

• Cannot use scanner on my Tecra M10 finger print

  Hi all

  I have a toshiba tecra M10 PTMB1E laptop with fingerprint reader. IM on windows 7. now the problem I have is that I can't find any application program to run the fingerprint software? ive tried various software downloads of fingerprints on the toshiba site, but nothing works? If I check the devices drivers for the scanner are installed properly. If I type fingerprint in the box of files of research program, he is back with the following

  use your fingerprint with windows
  stop using your fingerprint with windows
  Maintain your fingerprint data
  Remove your fingerprints data
  biometric devices
  change the biometric parameters

  If I click on the first option, it takes me to an authentec page that says under construction? as if I'm going in "manage your fingerprint data?

  I can turn power biometrics, but nothing happens to start up, which allows me to use my fingerprints?

  If I go to the peripheral page biometric in the hardware section it says im not registered? If I click the link highlighted blue 'use your fingerprint with windows' it only take back me to this page of AUTHENTEC .com? and all that is under construction with different links page?

  scanners still used these laptops with windows more? or sector support windows?

  Hello

  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the fingerprint software and uninstall of fingerprints (this tool is needed to remove the fingerprint reader software)

• Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

  Hello!

  My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
  Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Gilles gravel

  And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
  Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
  What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
  You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

• 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 M10 - 120 - my European warranty is not valid in the United States

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba - Tecra M10 - 12o laptop.
  This unit that I bought in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates UNITED with 2 years international warranty extension.
  The warranty is still on, and now I am settled in the USA.

  Now, I'm having a problem with the LCD and want to have it repaired. I went to two suppliers of services authorized for Toshiba in New York, but after reviewing my system, they said that they are not allowed to fix it because it's a European model laptop.

  For the same problem, I had the LCD screen, replaced in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates UNITED Toshiba distributor/service provider. But good as now I am in New York, USA and not able to get the correction of a problem here.

  Please kindly advice how to get this problem fixed so that in the United States for a laptop of model Europen.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  As far as I know and after the guarantee page ÉMAÉ Toshiba, Toshiba computers laptops, Netbooks and Smartbooks are covered by at least 1 year EMEA standard warranty, valid from the date of purchase.
  This warranty is applicable only in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

  You can find more details here on this Toshiba European page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/services/standard-warranty/

  Here you can find the PDF EMEA warranty info.

  So if you're outside the region of EMAE and if you don t have bought additional warranty extensions, you will have to pay for the service :(

• Recovery media for Tecra M10 - 10I required

  Hi all

  Sorry to post this here, but I hope someone can help me out here because unfortunately, after talking to a member of staff at Toshiba UK, the support I need, they can provide.

  I am a totally blind systems engineer and entrepreneur specialized in the legends of emergency to companies and specialist requirements, as well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning requirements, etc.. Recently, I lost my laptop main, unfortunately, he died because of overheating due to his age, a professional platform adapted to my needs to run the tools of my trade. the jury, burned into the RAM and HARD drive with her, it means I'm out of action,

  However, a friendly contact of my friends helped me with gift of a system of Tecra M10 - 10i who arrived this morning, to be configured, etc.. However, the internal HARD disk was photographed with a default image of their company and not the official recovery / installation OEM. The disk HARD deleted anyway and RAM upgraded to 8 GB to become my replacement. Right now I am borrowing a member of the family system and running an edition of reader pen of my screen reader configuration. so access to emails, notes, etc. only.

  My setup is based on different hardware and software components including chassis magma with PCIE cards, for data and the access control etc.

  What I would do, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells isn't easy to blind, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem. Toshiba tell me that they can not provide recovery media and I have to go to a provider they use on the web and order records, etc.

  This may be against policy here, so I apologize if this is the case, however, anyone here happen to have the recovery media for a system Tecra M10 - 10i, so Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows 7 Pro or similar that can update the system? The reason I ask because it is, it is easier for me to use a recovery image based or automated Ghost for this so I can install my screen, braille display driver reader interface, etc. and be running, rather than panic during the configuration of the audio without braille drivers / audio feedback.

  If you can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

  Cheers.

  Ed

  > What I would like to make, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells is not blind to the environment, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem.

  Dear Ed, I'm sorry to hear that it of difficult and impossible for you to order the Toshiba recovery from the Arvato page disk. Unfortunately, I m not Tecra M10 owner and don t have recovery for this unit disc.
  But maybe you could ask a family member or a friend for assistance.

  It (a credit card owner) could place an order for recovery on page Arvato disk and could order the media for you.

• Question of updating the BIOS of the Tecra M10

  Hello

  I own a Tecra M10-10 q (abbreviated model: PTMB1E)
  I received a few days ago an automatic alert of Toshiba TEMPRO to inform a new BIOS driver.

  After downloading and extracting the .zip file, I launched the executable: P0065v190.exe
  Asked me to confirm that I want to date of current version BIOS BIOS package version 1.90 1.50

  When I click on 'Yes', I got a popup window titled: "TOSHIBA BIOS Package version 3.2.9!
  with between other precautions, the following statement:
  "Disable BitLocker Drive Encryption in Windows Vista before updating the BIOS"

  A google search on what is "BitLocker Drive Encryption" and how to disable it, informs that it is under the heading 'Security' in the control panel.
  However, I can't find anything like "BitLocker", when I click on 'Security' in the Panel!

  So, I cancelled the update procedure. But I like to keep my system uptodate!
  What should I do? Where to find the BitLocker? How to make a such BIOS update?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Windows Bit locker drive BitLocker is a data protection feature that is available ONLY in Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.

  If you don t have one of these versions of Vista, then a Bilocker is NOT available on your preinstalled system!

  With regard to the update of the BIOS;
  I'm always that notice; never change a running system; so, if the laptop works properly and without problem a BIOS update is not necessary that s my personal opinion

  See you soon

• Tecra M10 and Express Port Replicator, no DVI to Toshiba 20 "LCD output

  Hello

  As the bed of the subject line, I will put up a new Tecra M10 with the Express Port Replicator and monitor LCD Toshiba Tekbright 20 ".

  The system works on Windows XP, and the ordinary VGA connection on the port replicator works fine when connected to the external LCD.

  However, there seems to be no way to get the DVI interface on port replicator, working on the LCD.

  I tried to run this utility, and it does not detect the DVI monitor at all.
  http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

  I have updated graphics drivers Intel for XP, form the Web from Toshiba site and also have the latest version of the BIOS.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much
  Paul

  Hello paul

  Your Tecra M10 has DVI port?
  Replicator port is not some sort of converter and it will be just a loop through the signal directly from the laptop.
  If the computer laptop doesn t supports DVI output you cannot expect to get signal from the port replicator.

• Tecra M10 - 11U - DVD + cannot read & disk partitions

  Hi all

  I just got my new Tecra M10 - 11U and noticed 2 things troubling
  (1) my DVD cannot read DVD + R - Vista recognized the DVD and its type, but cannot open it. Ideas?
  (2) my drive letters are C and E, where is my D drive, is the hidden recovery drive?
  Is it safe to change the E to D drive

  Nirko

  Hello

  1. it is not easy to provide a response to this. The question is rather general and who knows what kind of things is on this DVD + R media.
  2 D drive probably doesn t exist. You can check if the D drive letter is available for free. If so this means that this player is not available. You can check in computer management > disk management. Choose the second partition and click with the right mouse button > choose the option change the drive letter or path. You will see that D is available here.

  Recovery disk doesn t exist and it is not hidden. Toshiba recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery on the second partition.
  * You can change the drive letters, but before you do anything whatsoever, please create recovery DVD.*

• Tecra M10 - 17 H no support DVI via docking station not

  There is already a message asking this, but I wanted to point out that it is a problem affecting more than one user.

  Too, I bought a Toshiba laptop for my business as it was supposed to be a laptop a serious matter. However, I must say that I am losing confidence that Toshiba understands what needs a company.

  The docking station is frankly a joke. USB KVM will not work with it, probably, there is no PS2 port you can not use a KVM PS2 instead. Even if you could, the VGA dock does not detect the external VGA is present when there is a KVM. Of course, the answer is "simply" open up the laptop and set it up on the Panel, then switch to external whenever you turn it on. How can anyone think that is a response in a business, or any other environment is beyond me.

  Now, I find that my laptop has an Intel graphics card I can't use the DVI port on the dock either. Which is really annoying, is that I could buy a laptop at half price, but wouldn't because I wanted a laptop class business that disintegrates not in respect of the use. I didn't pursue a fantastic graphic option because I did not doing anything fancy either, but graphics without the supported DVI via the dock is just simply ridiculous.

  Now, I regret bitterly, to get rid of the old Dell D/Dock that although several years worked without fault and with DVI, with any old KVM and without any problems at all.

  Sorry for the mug shot, but I am bitterly disappointed that I bought a cheap puppy that I can't afford to write off for a good while yet. Meanwhile despite works well when it works, the laptop is a right royal pain to use when the dock is therefore unnecessary.

  What to tell boyfriend
  Is a really nice laptop Tecra M10 and Portégé series and series Tecra laptop computers Bussines there.

  But it seems that the DVI port on the Port Replicator Port Express is supported only on computers with ATI graphics card or nVidia.

  I found this Toshiba document:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm

  It s on Tecra A9 but maybe that it s a Tecra M10-related too

• Tecra M10 - update of the BIOS says "this computer is not supported.

  Recently refurbished a M10 - 10I to reinstall the operating system. WinXP install at all so I try to update the BIOS as it seems quite old (V1.5). Most recent version (and is available) for this machine seems to be V3.0. Download and try to run the file "P0065V300" and get the message:
