Tecra R850 - Port Replicator problem - no lan at startup

Hey guys I have a strange bug with a laptop computer Toshiba Tecra R850 customers with the port replicator. He is 8 months old.

Almost every morning when the client connects to the laptop computer to the Port Replicator port and power and the Windows 7 Desktop on startup it does not create a "LAN" connection (external monitor & USB works well through the Port Replicator).

I have to get the customer to power the laptop off, disconnect the port replicator, disconnect the electric power from the port replicator and then plug everything back in and re - turn on the laptop.

Here's what I've ruled out so far:
Port replicator: Replicator port, I've replaced with another unit of users (exact same model), same problem.
Directly connected LAN: if I connect the LAN directly (i.e. remove the duplicator) I have no problem with the LAN/Internet connection.

Here is the part number of the laptop and the dock:
Tecra R850: PT520A-01N003
Port Replicator II: PA3916A-1PRP

Any ideas? Could this be a faulty stowage on the phone port?

Kind regards
Aaron

Hello

Don t think its faulty docking port because in this case other ports Port Replicator would not work

I think its problem of system have you tested with costs recovered system port replicator?
Would certainly be worth a try

  • Tecra A11 Port Replicator - do not enable external HARD disk when securing

    Hello

    Had a problem with the Port Replicator port for my new Tecra - A11.

    When I anchor the laptop in the Replicator, that is not automatically connecting external 700gig USB backup HDD, I have either pull the USB cable on the Replicator, or disable the drive HARD and again so he can be seen and recognized.

    I never had this problem with my A8 and its replicator, I could just dock and everything was fine.

    I am running Win7

    Thank you... PK

    Hello

    Seems that Win 7 is unable to recognize the external HARD drive that is already connected to the port replicator.
    I m not very good if you had to install a software for this external HARD drive, but if software is required, and then try to reinstall again.

  • Tecra R850 - display driver problem - BSOD

    Hello

    I have a Tecra R850 with the ATI HD 6450 M and every now and again it crashes and BSOD appears.
    I have observed that mainly happens when playing flash videos.
    After reviewing the events system, I discovered that there is a problem with the display adapter driver.

    The said event system is perhaps a solution [here: http://wer.microsoft.com/Responses/Response.aspx/21682/en/5.1.2600.0.00000000.9.9?SGD=13feb1cd-4c8b-4c3a-aeee-ca4ca2c99729]

    This Web page indicates that it is a bug in the driver and I need to upgrade to the latest driver to solve problem, and it provides a link to the ATI Web page.

    I downloaded the drivers from ATI Web page and the installation program indicates that it is not compatible with Toshiba laptops.
    I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I already have the last (and only) driver for my graphics card.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Hi Jose

    Are you using the original Toshiba pre-installed Windows or your own version?
    Display driver original included in the original recovery image is tested, so you shouldn't have trouble with basic stuff like flash video playback.

    Since when did you notice this problem? Can you give us an example when this happens?
    You have installed updates?
    To be honest, I can't imagine that this issue is on the first day of use.

  • For Tecra A7 port replicator

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone knew if the Advanced Port Replicator III (PA3314U-1PRP) would be appropriate for the Tecra A7 (PTA71A-011003). Laptop specifications recommend the Advanced Port Replicator III more (PA3474U-1PRP), although I have found a few references on the internet that the Rep ADV III Port more is virtually identical to the Adv POrt Replicator III. Is this true?

    Thank you
    Rohit

    Hello

    You are right. Toshiba recommends using AdvPortRepIIIplus with your model of laptop Tecra but I am sure, that you can also use Advanced Port Replicator III 99%.
    If you want to inform you about the difference between control devices follow document Toshiba:

  • Tecra M7 & express II PA3680E-1PRP port replicator do not work together

    Hello

    I ve a Toshiba tecra M7 in recent years and have just bought a brand new sealed express duplicator II model PA3680E (docking station) but unfortunately it does not work and a new replacement, sent by the provider does not work.

    What's happening:
    With docking station connected to the start; nothing happens, and the Green dock light stays off.

    Windows when I put the tecra m7 on the dock it connects and disconnects immediately then will not reconnect. The power of power port, the lan port and the power switch work on the dock, but I understand that these are just happening through connections. The Green led power lights up also for less than a second.

    For example, when I do a connection hot, windows is connection chime followed immediately by a chime of disconnection and restores, also all USB connected devices flick-on and immediately off the coast.

    I ve tried under the original Toshiba windows XP install (with the latest Toshiba) and a fresh install of windows 7 (fully updated with all the update from Toshiba). BIOS is the latest available 3.50 (also tried 1.70 & 3.20 bios). tried bios USB legacy on and outside.

    Can someone please help

    Hello

    > With docking station, connected to the start; nothing happens, and the Green dock light stays off.

    The green light that is placed near the eject button it lights up green during normal operation and must be extinguished if the phone has been disconnected.

    If the led does not light green, so I guess that the laptop is not connected correctly.

    If you connect the laptop for the first time to the port replicator, a message should appear stating the device connected to the port replicator are ready to use.

    In my opinion, there could be a problem with the pins or connectors, but the question is what may be touched connector: on the side of Tecra or port replicator

    However, I think that go you to your dealer and need to test another.

  • Tecra A11 & Express Port Replicator II - USB problems

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with a port replicator that I simple couldn't have resolved for months. I'll try to explain this as best I can.

    We have a Tecra A11, which seems to work fine running on Windows 7 Professional. When the Tecra A11 is pluged in an Express Port Replicator 2, not USB ports in the port replicator's work at all. Very good cell phone fees and the LAN switches on the replicator fine, but the USB ports simly does not work under any circumstances. It would also be interesting to note that the green light next to the "eject" button lights never really.

    I downloaded and installed the latest series driver for Windows 7 from the Toshiba support page which has no effect. We had 2 replacements for Toshiba because they also agreed that the previous, we had were not woring correctly, but this obviously was not the case because we still have the same problem with our 3rd unit. The Tecra A11 was sent back to Toshiba with case notes clearly describing the question, and he was sent to us "no fault found".

    Unfortunately, we don't have any other laptops to test on the port replicator. but I'm seriously suspect that the problem lies in the laptop, rather than the port replicator. For any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Steve.

    Hello

    According to your message, you are not sure if the problem is related to the defective laptop Tecra or express port replicator.
    Hmm theoretically the problem might be related to defective express port replicator or Tecra.

    If found some information on the USB ports and the repliators port:

    + Make sure that the element of Legacy USB in the BIOS emulation is set to "Enabled". This feature only works for the keyboard and mouse. Also note that the keyboard and mouse must be connected before you start the computer. A USB mouse, keyboard or the floppy drive connected to the Port Replicator via any other connection that a hub of the first level, will not work until the operating system has started. +

    I also recommend to check the version of the BIOS; If the most recent BIOS is available, then you need to update this

  • Express Port Replicator II and Tecra A10 - 12Z - only the power and LAN

    Since my Toshiba T3600CT I received with docking station, I discovered that I have a docking station. In the meantime, I had a small Sony who had no docking station, for which I got one of the first USB docking station and since then I've seen always to get laptops with docking station.

    But this time something went really wrong, the Toshiba Express Port Replicator II PA3680E-2PRP provides only power and LAN. There is no power in the USB ports, so no serial port or the sound, and DVI and VGA are also disabled.

    All these ports work fine on the Tecra A10, but not on the docking station.

    Of course, it is nice to have the power and LAN, but not when I expected too much of everything.
    So I was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem, it is like upgrading the BIOS for me who have not installed all the necessary software, or is it a fuse or something I could fix myself or is it a faulty docking that shouldn't have left the factory?

    Hello

    What's your Tecra pre-installed with original recovery image?

    When the laptop is preinstalled with recovery image simply connect compatible laptop Toshiba docking station and all the devices connected to the docking station will be recognized correctly and all available ports should work fine.
    Is that a Port Replicator basically "replica" ports on the laptop.

    On this virtual path, we cannot say that this port is 100% OK. What can you say about it? you bought is used a?

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

  • Re: Tecra A10 - USB problem on the port replicator

    I have a Tecra A10 and sometimes, when I work with her, the devices USB stopped responding if they are connected to the port replicator.
    If I connect them to the laptop, they work fine.

    I tried to update the BIOS but now when I turn on the laptop it freezes when Toshiba red letters are displayed on the screen. I can work with the laptop properly deattached starting from port replicator.

    Have you tried to load the default settings in the BIOS after the update?

    If you have external devices connected to the laptop they remove and try again in the duplicator.
    Maybe you should also update your laptop chip set driver. You can find them on the Toshiba site.

  • Portege Z30-A-12N with Port Replicator Port Hi-Speed USB III problems

    Hi all

    I have a big problem with my new Portege Z30-A-12N and Hi-Speed Port Replicator III.

    I connected the power, DVI, LAN, mouse and keyboard to the Port Replicator.
    Power, DVI and LAN are okay, but none will be found if I connect something to the USB Ports 2.0 or 3.0.
    No mouse, no keyboard, and no USB key.

    When I start my Portege I must enter a password after you press the power button.
    These password, I could enter with the external keyboard, but in windows, no keyboard has been found.

    If I connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB Ports of the Portege instead of Port Replicator, the two has been found.

    I ran Windows 7 Enterprise on the Portege.
    BIOS version is 3.30

    Do you have a solution for me?

    Hello

    The HI-SPEED PORT REPLICATOR III PA5116E-1PRP supports 2 x USB 2.0 and 4 x USB 3.0 ports.
    You n t special need Win 7 drivers in order to be able to use the USB ports or other interfaces such as VGA, DVI, audio, etc.

    Sound problems, make sure that the audio device has been selected in the right panel-> sound-> playback tab

    By the way: Win 7 needs USB driver 3.0 which is preinstalled when the laptop was equipped with USB 3.0 ports. My knowledge if your mobile phone does not support USB 3.0, you will be able to use the port replicator USB 3.0 ports.

    Finally and above all devices must be connected before you start the computer. The decision supported and compatible specifications: Portégé R30 - A, Tecra Z40 - A, Tecra Z50 - A, Portégé Z30-A/Z30t-A, Tecra A50 - has

    Hello!

    It looks like a network configuration problem. Check the network addresses and configuration in command line with the command ipconfig/all.

    Try using static IP addresses. I think that the DHCP server takes a long time to go send an IP address to each laptop.

    It is very interesting how Toshiba cares about the problems of their users.

    It works but the computer is not stable and I fear that this will eventually damage the port see me problems when using.

    Nice day

    Hello

    Please don't get me wrong, but you should clarify this with Toshiba directly. Here on this forum, you can hear some useful opinions and comments, but I think you should get info straight from Toshiba directly.

    You can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. You can visit ASP and demonstrate how it works and I hope that you will get a professional opinion on this problem.

    Long ago I had a Tecra laptop with port replicator, and he was well in place and really does so port replicator he not there no danger of damage to the small port located in the lower corner.

    To me that sounds like this, out on the port replicator doesn t port works properly if connect you directly to the computer laptop, everything works correctly, or can you notice any problems?

    Have you tested other speakers?

    In this case I would recommend updating the sound card drivers and BIOS. The two you can download on the Toshiba site.
