  Hello

  I have problems with an old satellite L100 to request the password from the bios, which we do not know.

  I saw there are different ways of short connections to work around this problem, but I can't find anything about this particular model and none of the information I've seen applies to this motherboard.

  Can someone please help and direct me to what pins needs a short circuit on the laptop to be able to re - use this equipment.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Hi Dan,.

  Unfortunately there is no way 'backdoor' to access your system without the BIOS password. Most BIOS manufacturers install a 'default' password but they change it from time to time is not possible to say that one might have on your system (if any at all).

  If you search Google for the BIOS reset password options you find many techniques described to bypass the BIOS password or even reset the CMOS completely chip, but the only way to truly guarantee to solve your problem is to take the laptop to an authorized Service partner who can reset the CMOS chip and re-flashing the BIOS. They generally need to see some evidence of property before they will do so.

  Kind regards

• Equium L10-300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hey all hope you can help a new user please.

  Had a customer to put in a notebook Equium L10-300. Somehow has been a password on the BIOS and start-up, so I can't do anything with it. I can't boot from a CD and I tried a USB floppy drive, it seems to the flexible time and then just operates in the password box. I was going to try a BIOS flash, you see.

  I'm guessing maybe remove battery from the bios might help? But do not know where it is or how to get to it. All links to the manuals etc. would be nice. I ve read some new Toshibas have special security chips now hold passwords etc.

  Any help would be thank you very much, really need to solve this problem.

  Hello Mark

  If you have clients, I assume that you work for an authorized service. The fact is that each service description how to remove the BIOS password on each laptop model.
  So if you try to delete the BIOS password I can't imagine work you for some Baker. So many things on your work.

  Another important thing is that the BIOS removal procedure is kind of top secret information and may not be the subject of public debate. This information cannot be displayed here. This will be a valuable aid for all who attempt to enter stolen laptops. Do you agree with me?

  If your customer needs professional help to send him to the authorized Toshiba service provider nearest. They know how to remove BIOS password.

  Hello

  Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
  If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

  I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

  In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
  Please check this!

• Equium L20-198: Question about BIOS and output s-video

  I seem to have two problems with it and that's when I put the bios password on above it on the screen is rubbish, scrammble symbols. Also is it supposd to come with s-video output, but it is a black plastic in place place

  Hello

  I certainly know that the S-video port is not available on all models Equium L20. Please check the specifications of the laptop even though I think that your model should have S-video port. Please contact your local dealer and talk with them about it.

  Your device has a valid warranty and if you think that there is a technical problem, contact the Service partner and explain the problem. Please don t make some BIOS update experiences if you are not familiar with this procedure.

• Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

  Hello
  I am trying to get a DVI Signal of the Tecra A2 using the Advanced Port Replicator III but without success. The A2 does support DVI anyway?
  Another question: is it possible to set up the main display to the external monitor using "extended Desktop"?

  Thank you
  Ralph Menon

  Hello Ralph

  Your unit doesn t support DVI port and you can't use it. As far as I know just the ports that you can find on the device, you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.

  The problem with the screen is that mobile has the main value and it cannot be changed (on my Tecra M1 nor). The windows will be implemented on an external but password box will always be displayed on the screen of the laptop.

  Good bye

  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  2 maximum capacity of RAM for your Tecra M5 should be 4 GB according to the specifications. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory on each RAM slot.
  The specifications are DDR2-667 you need.

  I put t think that BIOS update is required for Windows 7. In your case I Don t do this update, Windows 7 will also work with the old version.

• Tecra M1: Question about 21003B wireless adapter

  I have a Tecra M1 with 21003B wireless adapter. Company connection to one of our Wi - Fi points poses no problem - stay connected is a science.

  Any ideas?

• Tecra M3 - questions about the RAM maximum and graphics driver update

  Hi people,

  I have a Tecra M3 (Variant FBCF with the Geforce 6600 w / 128 MB) and I have two questions that I hope someone here can help me with:

  (1) what is the maximum amount of RAM that I can install here? The manual says 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), but I do not see why the laptop would be paralyzed this necessary way, cause as far as I know the 915G chipset can handle 4 GB of RAM. If anyone knows definitively what?

  (2) the latest drivers from nvidia for XP are 2005. As most of you probably know, nvidia systematically more than past performance with versions driver and adds compatibility with some games that end up in trouble. The real driver from the nvidia site does not install because it says that it cannot find any compatible hardware. Can't Toshiba even a pilot updated annually? There is a driver of 2007 for Vista, I can't believe that if they did, they decide refresh the XP one while they were to him. Any chance of their audience on this here? I could force the nvidia.com driver to install, but I don't think that it's necessarily a great idea.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  the maximum amount specified for this machine memory is 2 GB and 4 GB not but you can try it with 2x2gb modules.

  With regard to your graphics: Don t use the nvidia driver since it is not suitable for mobile graphics chipsets and has no timing in the driver that is needed to run flawlessly.

  I'd rather you to view laptopvideo2go and download some drivers here. :)

• Tecra 8000: Question about the possibility of upgrade

  I have a tecra 8000 with a pentium 2 300 mhz processor and I was wondering if it would be up to class? any help would be appreciated thanks.

  Hello

  Well, in general it is not possible to upgrade the CPU because the cpu is fixed and soldered on the motherboard. But sometimes the CPU is only mated. I'm not sure about this device, but as far as I know, this device was shipped with Pentium II 400 233 MHz, 333 MHz and 400 MHz Dixon.
  But if you want to upgrade the CPU to change many other parts because the plu processor produce more heat and this process can cause overheating problems.
  So if you want you can request the service of Toshiba for details.

• Question about BIOs

  What is the meaning of 'Version 8 BIOS'.
  
  I saw a lot of people with problems when their 750 Ti GTX graphics card. I get my EVGA GTX 750 Ti SC soon and I hope that there will be no problem with him.
  
  My PC model is H8 - 1285D

  My BIOS version is 8.20

  Is it my PC able to run the graphics card without any problem?

  Hello

  HP computers that are shipped with Windows 8 in general have a BIOS version 8 which supports Secure Boot.   The motherboard of your PC was initially released with a BIOS version 7. Since you have a BIOS version 8, many modern graphics cards should work.

  Yes there were many messages about the NVIDIA GTX 750 does not work in the HP PC, but in many cases these PCs only had a BIOS version 7.

  Be aware that some models of the NVIDIA GTX 750 require a PCI-E power connector 6-pin and the power of your PC lacks this connector.  Collate EVGA before buying anything.

• Tecra 8000: questions about memory, mouse and screen

  Hi, im using a tecra 8200, mouse keeps drifting upward left after 30 minutes? keyboard problem?
  Sometimes the screen displays changr, from very dark then normal?
  Finally I was told that I can put in a module of 512 mem alongside 256 existing will this work.
  Thanks for any reply Biffo

  Hello

  As you know on this path it is not easy to give you a good answer on all these problems. The same happen to me with my mouse, but AFAIK it's normal because the mouse must obviously be calibrated again and again.

  Daniel is right about the memory. You can use two modules with 256 MB (PC100 256 MB - PA3069U - 1 M 25). 512 MB should be max according to the specifications of this unit.

  Good bye
