The questions on my Tecra 9000

Tecra 9000, XP, only previous problem a year ago, when to replace fan. Installed by Toshiba.

So it's clear weird. My 'l' key types of himself. I should be what like word, outlook or any where where a cursor appears "l" s begin to appear by themselves - as if I was leaning on the l key.

I thought maybe it was a keyboard hardware/issue but when I click on any menu the selected operation jumps. For example if I click on the menu start, it is almost impossible to choose the desired option as the highlight jumps up and down randomly.

The only thing I can think is an overheating problem because it's worse in the late afternoon. In addition, it has been stupidly hot in my office recently.

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

Mitch

Hello Mitch

It's a very silly situation when portable such things do on its own. If you think it may be an overheating problem, the best solution is to clean the machine from dust and leaving the camera to catch his breath. Watch closely if it will happen again.

It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if this happens only with a key it is possible that there are a few hardware malfunction. If I close down the l - key I have the same situation. Menu start is almost not possible to use as the marked parts are jumping up and down randomly.

If there is no contact with the solution your service partner. I'm sure it's just a default key L.

Good luck!

    If you mean that there is no driver for the France, you're right. Try using the driver for other countries. I think it should work too. Maybe someone from Toshiba, read this and you will find the driver in the coming days.

  • Question about the temperature of the processor on Tecra 9000

    Hello. I would like to know what are the current temperatures for Tecra 9000 1 GHz. When I run an intensive application processor like Prime95, the temperature rises to 59 C. Isn't too much? Yes and I also recently replaced old thermal compound with AC MX-1.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Hello

    Thus, 59 c are quite OK, that they are almost under the PDT of the CPU. If the temp would be more than 70 ° C or more then it would be critical but not to 59 C. The Pentium 3 M should typically generate a higher temperature if your CPU is, comparing to another cooler system. Could be also dependent on the applied paste you´ve cooler...

    Don't worry Don t, everythings OK. :)

  • Tecra 9000 - no display on the LCD screen when you turn on

    I recently got a Tecra 9000 for cheap on eBay. I am experienced with the construction and repair of computers, but not so with laptops.

    The problem with this laptop, it's that do not display on the LCD screen when you turn on. It was just black, no backlight, nothing. I took the laptop all share, found no obvious problem. I had to turn it on and the screen lights up a few times trying to figure out the problem. Would it be a bad connection? Or something else?

    After getting it to start work, I'll try to start to put it back together and it stopped working again. I haven't not been able to reduce it to know if it's a bad connection or a card problem.

    Someone at - it suggestions? This is a problem for others here?

    As you describe the issue, I think it is somehow a bad connection or a damaged cable, because it does not work once you have disassembled the screen.
    Maybe you need to check all the cables, leading motherboard to the LCD and take a close look, maybe for a few scratches or strong curvature.

    Hello

    It is possible only after the installation of the MS Updates that the audio driver is blocked by a load of your system and no sound can be heard.

    If you want you can try to install this driver:
    http://drivers.Soft32.com/driver/download-Yamaha_AC_XG_Generic_Drivers_for_YMF753_743_752-24609.html

    It is useful after installing SP2. I don't know if this will help in your case, but you can try it.

    All the required drivers and utilities are available for download on the web, but if you mean you want to put the machine in its factory condition, you need the recovery disc that came with the machine.

  • How to change minPCI WLan on Tecra 9000

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra 9000 with 11b wireless.
    I bought a minPCI 54g card, but I don't see where is the mini on the Tecra 9000 pci card,

    My question is how do I change the WiFi card mini pci please?

    Thank you all

    Hello

    I think that if you can't find the WLan slot at the bottom of the unit, then it must be hidden somewhere under the keyboard!

    The keyboard is usually fixed with two screws that are hidden under a thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons cover.
    If you remove the two screws, you should be able to loft the keyboard.

    But be careful; It s to connect to the motherboard with a flat cable

  • Tecra 9000 - LED flashes and cannot start

    I recently got an old laptop Tecra 9000. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a HARD drive (it was taken and sacked by the former owner).

    I bought some hard drives that I thought should work in this machine, but all that seems to happen is that the power light blinks 7 times, pauses, then flashes once (and then repeat this.

    I guess it's an error code any.

    Readers, I've tried are a MK4025GAS and a MK4026GAX. The result is the same on both.

    Can we say what means this error, or even tell me the part number of a disk that is compatible with this machine?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Guy

    One question; have you tried to power the laptop without inserting the HARD drive?
    Usually if the laptop is ok, it should be possible to boot the laptop. Of course the laptop will not load the Windows operating system because the HARD drive is missing but it should be able to start and the led must Flash not!

    But if it flashes, it means that the fault was detected on the motherboard and the LED lamp sends a blink code.
    Short blinking means 0 and 1 long flashing
    Error code starts with LSB (least significant bit)
    for example:
    0000 0001-> 1000 0000

    This code you need to turn it into hex and you will get the error code.
    But in my opinion, no one will give you an answer what it means.
    Each laptop clean error code series offer...

    Hello Joe

    In my opinion, you should try to install it. In this case, you need to install all the drivers and Toshiba designed tool later. On this path, it is not easy to say what write you about, but maybe a little tip can help you.

    On the Toshiba site, there is link to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=TIC2 knowledge base.

  • Issue when installing fresh Windows XP on Tecra 9000

    I have a Tecra 9000 running Linux.

    I would like to install windows XP but the Setup CD I charge readers and then crashes to windows is the loading screen. I have no recovery disks or driver for this computer as I bought it used. and I don't know why he struggled.

    The SN for the unit is Z1086914G ST900-0.
    I have read forums about similar problems and think it might be the chipset driver for the HARD disk.

    I can't find a driver for nowhere so I can't try this line of thinking.

    Anyone has any ideas.

    Hello

    As I remember the Tecra 9000 does not support RAID or SATA controller that would require RAID or SATA drivers, so I put t think that your problem is related to the missing driver

    Have you tried to install Win XP SP2 from container?
    Are you sure that the HARD drive is OK? I think you should check the HARD disk for some problems initially.

  • Tecra 9000 - BIOS block 1 damaged

    I have a Tecra 9000 with a broken BIOS.

    I looked at upgrading the BIOS FAQ [1] and searched the forum (found [2]). However, I have no Windows installation and at least my Toshiba Tecra 9000 doesn't have a floppy drive, so I can't follow the procedure described here.

    You will find my update of the BIOS for the laptop with the serial number 32222375G: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=DE&userAction=SMP_RESU LTS_PAGE & partNumber = PT900E-08YZG-GR & serialNumber = 32222375 G & USER_ACTION = Serial % 20num ber

    BTW: I can't real poster on this forum. I can't post the exact BIOS error message because the forum software claims that I used profanity. The relevant part is contained in the subject line of the thread.
