• Keyboard on my Portege 4010 problems

  Out of the blue, I have keyboard problems on my portege 4010. I have bad start up and now that I have, I can't access some of the problems, the keys get stuck, funny noises... beeps all the symptoms of a questionable keyboard. What I can do, otherwise, buy a replacement keyboard (v.expensive) or use an external keyboard?

  I personally have not dropped something on the keyboard, so problems can just be from one day to the next, or should interogate my husband.

  Hello

  Maybe your husband has changed something? ;)
  But seriously, if you have some problems with the boot and keyboard in my opinion, you should try to pick you up BONES. If the malfunction of the same images I recommend to contact the ASP for more information.

• Sound on Portege 4010 problems

  Hello

  I am the proud owner of a Toshiba Portege 4010, but the only problem that I couldn't solve is the sound.

  The problem occurs when I use MP3 reading program (Winamp / TRAKTOR DJ). Music moves for a very short period of time, perhaps some 20 milliseconds every 1 to 2 minutes (on a random date).

  I tried to change each buffer option in my mp3 with no result reading programs.
  I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 with all drivers installed on the Toshiba site (including the Windows XP audio driver)

  The problem does not disappear if the laptop works plugged (best performance of the processor).

  If someone has encountered this problem and knows the solution, I would really appreciate it.
  I use this laptop for playing background music (I am a DJ).

  Best regards
  Mircea Bartic

  Hi Mircea

  It is not easy to say what may be the problem. If I understood you right this would happen only if the laptop is running on battery. Am I wrong?

  I assume that the processor or HARD drive maybe activity interrupts the music. Please try checking activity (Performance) CPU settings in the tool under the profile that is used if the device is running on battery.

  It is also possible that some applications (program antivir) forced the HARD drive activity. Please check all these aspects.

• Wireless - connection Portege 4010 problem

  I have a 4010 Portege (PP401A-024FMP), who refuses to connect through the mini pci wireless lan card. It identifies when there are wireless networks autour, but does not connect. I even created my secure and open wireless network to see if it was a security issue nothing works.

  The laptop is running a new copy of Windows XP SP3, including relevant drivers from Toshiba Web site.
  In addition, I also tried a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.10 to see if it's XP causing the fault - Ubuntu do not connect any.

  There is no problem in (XP) Device Manager wireless card is faulty even if it displays the wireless networks?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Are you sure that's not because of false settings on your router?

• Hard drive with the Portege A200 problem

  I just bought a Portege A200 a few months previously and recently noticed the hard drive starts to make noise 'rough '. Anyone can:
  (1) advise what could be the problem, or is this normal?
  (2) to recommend what is the best way/tool/program to check the State of fitness of the hard drive?

  Thanks for help. Very happy.

  Specifications:
  Portege A200; 60 GB; Window XP Professional

  Hi ccm

  In my opinion, the HARD drive should run pretty quiet. You can still hear sounds, but they should not be strong. If the unit is a new brand, you must contact the partner in your country, and they can check if there are a few HARD drive malfunction. If it is necessary to change something, the warranty will cover all costs.

  Hi stan

  Sorry, but you should be smart enough to know that this kind of information is not for advertising. On this way, each stolen unit can be started. The best solution is to contact the Service partner and they can remove the password.

• Portege 4010 - after upgrading RAM, nothing happens

  Hello
  A beginner very believed in that.

  I picked up some 512 MB PC133 SDRAM for my 4010 but when I put them in the slots and pressing the power button... Nothing happened.

  Would appreciate any help at all...

  Hello!

  Yes, maybe 2 x 128 MB modules were the original modules, that they were delivered with the laptop.

  I think you should try other modules. If you use the modules of noname, they could be possibly not work or problems as bluescreens etc.
  As far as I know that the Portege 4010 can be upgraded to 1 GB of RAM. You can use two 512 MB modules then you should buy RAM from Kingston of high quality for example.

  Here is the part number for Toshiba for a 512 MB module I founded with Google:
  PA3108U - 1 M 51

• Portege 4010: How to install the cd - r or dvd - r?

  Anyone know if I can change the slimbay on my portege 4010 on a CD - R, or ideally a DVD-R?
  If so, what are the best places to get these?
  (I live in the United Kingdom)

  Thanks for your suggestions,

  Hello

  I found the info this Portege comes with two discs. Readers are:
  Toshiba (SD-C2502) and TEAC (DV28E-B).

  I put t really know if any DVD-R/RW drive is compatible, but you can contact the Service of your country partner and ask them. They are usually updated hardware and should have enough experience.

  Otherwise, try to find a few upgrade for laptop shop in your country.

• Problems with the Portege M700 command

  I would like to order the Portege M700-S7008 with 2.40 ghz, turbo cache + qwerty US keyboard, which is available on the site of toshiba, based in the United States.

  On my local site toshiba I can only find Portege M700-10O (which no a 2.20 ghz, turbo cache, BE-azerty keyboard), which is certainly not what I want. But the US site has no option to ship international.

  What should I do?

  Hello

  the fact is that the machine with the desired configuration is only available in America. Since Toshiba sells for all countries separate the configurations you have only 2 options:

  1. find a Distributor on google which could help you and sell / send you the machine with THIS configuration

  2. or you can wait some time with obtainig of this machine, maybe toshiba europe will give an offer that you need in a few weeks. Usually (AFAIK) Toshiba europe is not always parallel with their services and offers as other countries. This also applies to other countries such as the Australia, the Canada or Britain.
  I think that little patience and you will get what you want or need.

• Portege 4010: No boot

  Hello everyone,
  today I received a used Portege 4010. I have pluged in the cable and I wanted to start. Green DC, lamp orange battery and when I walk there gree power lamp appears. But that's all, nothing more. The screen stays black, only a very small noise is in the machine, I think it comes to HD. The curiosity was that I unplugged the power cable (while the power of the lamp was on) and start the laptop computer was! I wanted to do it again, but no luck. Only 2 times I managed to do that start this way, the switch sur-rien-> Switch/switch sur-rien-> by unplugging the power cord-> startup! I then tried to start a car boot CD Knoppix (linux), but after 10 seconds of loading linux screen went black again! Can someone help me? What could be? Battery? RAM? Wherer can I do a clear Cmos? It's very frustrating :-( Thanks a lot, greetings from Germany, Chris

  Hi Christian

  It's really easy to tell what the problem can be don t do you know if the previous owner had any problem?

  Is it possible to enter the BIOS settings? Try it by pressing the ESC key at startup to the top.

• Portege 4010 Bluetooth - connection for samsung and motorola phones probs

  I have a portege 4010 with bluetooth. I am trying to connect to our two phones - a samsung sgh-e370 (newish) and a motorola V600 (2 years). Both have BT I downloaded and installed the latest Tosh BT stack (4.0.something). Shows Device Manager four drivers of tosh in BT - all are OK. I have allowed the discovery and allow the connection on the tosh. I did the same thing on the phones. When I run the "Add new connection" Wizard on tosh, he finds two phones and they appear under the devices section in BT Manager with the names I gave them on real phones. However, neither picked up phone tosh and showed no tosh by asking the numbers of pins on the phones.

  The net result is I now two phones display in BT Manager, but if I click on is and choose use log I recover the error "connection failed".

  If I try to find the portege using the phone, the samsung it is but motorola doesn't have. I can't get the motorola to twin with the tosh - it just says "unable to pair up with the portege.

  Any help gratefully received.

  RJ

  Hello

  I don't really know what is the problem in your case, but I did this a few times with my Motorola RAZR V3 and it works fantastic. The whole was finished for 1 minute. I hope that you do it in the right order, but I am writing to you the steps I did:

  1 activate the Bluetooth using the FN + F8 key combination
  2. install the new hardware if necessary (some of them)
  3. start the Bluetooth stack
  4 turn on the Bluetooth on the mobile phone (discoverable)

  5. Select the Express mode > next
  6. choose visible device listed in 'Bluetooth device list' > next
  7 choose to identify passkey (1234)
  8. Enter the key in the mobile phone. Twinning will be success

  I did it on this path, and now I can send all documents in my Tecra. If you want to use as a modem, you must do this:

  1. after peeling going on Next and configure the internet connection
  (provider number) > finish
  2. the new connection will be created in the Bluetooth stack utility
  3. you can start the numbering with double click or click with the right button of the mouse and choose 'connect '.

• Portege R700 - problem with fingerprints to connect on Win7

  I have problems with my new Portege R700 with fingerprint reader to log on Win 7 acount.

  I have digital fingerprints installation to the system via the Toshiba fingerprint utility. Several times I can wake up the Portege of sleep or turn it on, fingerprints from the BIOS is accepted, after which appears logon screen in Win7 and in some cases, I'm able to connect automatically to this account. In some cases just system is pending, it is not possible to login with the password. I restart phone, sometimes more than once.

  You can help someone? I have already several times removed, Setup still traces of fingers, I updated the utility and the new driver fingerprint - nothing does not.

• Portege A100 - problems recognizing a new DVD burner

  Hello

  I'm looking to replace the Panasonic/Matsu * player UJDA750 combo with a LiteOn SOSW - 852S DVD burner. The LiteOn is CSEL and is not recognized by the Portege A100. I tried to change the master/slave/CSEL and Inverse CSEL using E2MS_WIN_SOSW - 852 S .exe (in an Acer Travelmate 220, which sees all configurations), but the Portege A100 still does not recognize LiteOn.

  I ran IDEDIAG using a WinME boot CD and the Matsu * a Combo drive in Portege reports as secondary master. So, I tried flashing the drive LiteOn (using the Acer Travelmate platform) with MTKFlash version 183 c using the a command? "mtkflash 3 w/b PRS9.bin" (using the original firmware of saved), '3' to change the drive to the secondary master. I came across problems here - the flash appears to hang. The drive is always ok, however. I flashed it back to the original ok CSEL using E2MS program in Acer.

  I have not tried bridging the pins 45 to 47 on the LiteOn - I thought maybe it was a last resort.
  -Can help you with the correct configuration for a CD/DVD drive in the Portege A100? There are a bunch of different ones - primary, secondary, tertiary, Quarternary master/slave and CSEL and Inverse CSEL. Portege A100 'sees' the Matsu * a CDROM model CR-176_B of Acer.

  Or - can you recommend me a DVD burner for this laptop?

  Hello

  The evolution of the master/slave/c-salt settings is not recommended and tell the truth I put t know if its possible. I presume that it of not possible to Flash these settings on medium power.
  In my opinion it doesn't make any sense to do.
  This procedure may damage the drive. Maybe you will not be able to use this drive more and more you will void the warranty!

  I think it s better to buy a compatible device and supported as trying to drive not compatible flash.

  Did you check your user manual? Usually the user manual should provide information on compatible CD/DVD players and supported.

  Good bye

• Portege R830 - problems of 3G connection after installing Win 7 32 bit

  Hello

  I went down a Portege R830 Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit with drivers of Toshiba. I put a SIM from my provider.
  In the windows Network Manager, 7 and in the Toshiba Wireless Manager I can see the right provider and HSPA network but when I start the connection, it does not (I don't have a PIN code).

  It is failed with Windows 7 Network Manager and Manager Toshiba wireless (I don't have this problem with the Portege R700 windows 7 32bits)

  But I found a small solution (but I think that's not enough):
  I have created a dial-up connection, with a number * 99 #,.
  I started the connection, it does not happen, but after that, when I raise my first connection is good.

  I don't know why, it's as if the modem is in sleep and the dial-up connection wake-up the modem, because after all is good (win7 Network Manager, Manager wireless Toshiba) so if I reboot the Portege.

  I want to avoid the dial-up connection on my r700 portege with 32-bit windows 7

  Thanks for your help and sorry for my English.
  support for the toshiba told me to reinstall windows 7 64 bit to solve the problem :)
