  Have you tried to get into the BIOS?
  Check it out.
  But usually after the update laptop BIOS should properly work and boots.
  Have you followed the instructions on the BIOS update on the page of Toshiba?
  Maybe you did something wrong and the motherboard is damaged.

• How to start the recovery on Tecra 8000 CD?

  Hello

  I tried to recover with CD. The manual says hold 'C '. It is not possible to hold 'C' when starting, the beep of the machine and a quick beep.
  What can I do?
  Hope someone has maybe had the same problem
  Thank you

  This with C at startup should work. I just hope that you use the correct CD.
  You have the CD1 and CD2? Make sure that you use CD1 first.

  You can enter the BIOS and put the optical drive as first boot device.

• A few questions about the upgrade on Tecra 8100

  Is it possible to put the max ram of 512 MB in a plug of my hens laptop only the socket works?
  Is it also possible because of a new Pentecost of portable hard drive more storage?
  And is it possible to exchange the motherboard?

  Help, please.

  As far as I know you can use a single module of RAM but unfortunately I wasn't able to find the compatible RAM 512 MB module for your laptop model.

  This laptop model can was delivered with different drives (6 20 GB). I don't know one you have now.

  It is possible to exchange all many things. What you need is part manuals replacement and maintenance with the exact description of disassembly.

• Tecra 8000 does not recognize the new HARD drive

  I read on this forum and Google search, but nothing helped.

  I think the disk on Tecra 8000 (Pentium II, 266 Mhz) is "dead".
  I tried to replace it with another laptop to see if that would work.

  The laptop does not, even if I put just like the original.
  Y at - it somehow special or what I have to change something in the Bios?

  Hello

  Don t need to change BIOS settings

  As long as you use the compatible HARD disk, the BIOS should recognize the HARD drive automatically without big problems
  What drive did you use? What size, interface, etc.

  The Tecra 8000 is an oldie and I think that you could use only the 4 GB; 6 GB; 9 GB; 10 GB; 14GB IDE hard drives.

  More large hard disks would be not recognized by the BIOS.

• Beginner looking for the best upgrade memory for Tecra 8000

  Hello - I am currently looking to upgrade the memory on my Tecra 8000 the current 96 of at least 256.

  Is it possible that I can't find info on 256 MB extensions that are compatible

  I also want to upgrade my hard drive of at least 20 Gb, but I think it will be easier

  Any advice would be much appreciated

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them what a memory module is compatible with your laptop. I found that PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) is certainly usable for Tecra 8000.

  Please be careful because all modules may not be recognized by BIOS correctly.

  It is possible that 256 MB RAM PA3069U - 1 M 25 is compatible but I'm not sure about this. Pick up information by the Service partner before buy you one.

• 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.

• Upgrade RAM and disk on Tecra 8000

  I have a toshiba tecra 8000 p2 266 mhz, 64 MB, 6 GB HD.

  My question is I want to upgrade the ram and hard drive. can someone tell me what is the maximum I can put in my laptop. IM aiming for a 256 RAM and 40 GB HARD drive... I want to upgrade the processor, but I don't think it would be possible. If Yes please let me know what is the maximum.

  Thank you guys

  Hello

  I found information that your device can handle with max 256 MB and compatible module unit Pentium II are:
  PA2060U 32 MB
  PA2061U 64 MB
  PA2062U 128 MB

  For user who have the Pentium III unit I'll also post this compatible module are:
  PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
  PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
  PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

  HARD drive upgrade is always a little more problematic because of the maximum capacity that will be recognized correctly, but I assume you can use up to 20 GB of HARD disk without problem.
  Sorry, but I didn? t find accurate information about it.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8000 does not start after the BIOS update

  From one day to the other does not start my Tecra 8000 (400 MHz/256 MB BIOS 9.30 for years). After start-up, the disc starts to turn, but the screen including the backlight remains completely black, without red logo TOSHIBA BIOS is not accessible.

  I got a new mainboard on stock, so I replaced it, and it worked. Unfortunately now my WLAN card now did not work properly. I tried several settings of the BIOS with no results, so I decided to do an update of the BIOS from 7.50 to 9: 30. After the upgrade, I get the message "ROM WRITE successful, utility completed. LEADER BIOS: Tecra8000 v 9,30 ". Because what either kept silent, I pressed the power button to restart and heard a long and many short beeps (endless). I could interrupt what pressing the powerbutton for 5s.

  After turning on again I have the same problem as described in the first line :-( I can't get into the BIOS, but I can again update (with pressed F12). Once again these beeps.

  What to do with these beeps after average BIOS update? I replaced the MoBo connector LED with pension. Processor, memory, keyboard and HD has remained the same. So, before I start disassembling the machine, please notify, your help is very appreciated.

  Hello Joachim

  I'm not a technician and don t know what the beeps but I am afraid that the BIOS chip is damaged. Because of this, the unit is completely dead. Sorry, but I really don t believe you can do anything. Maybe the new motherboard again :(

• Tecra 8000 - how to connect the HARD drive to another laptop?

  Hello, what kind of camera do I need to connect an old hard drive Tecra 8000 to a laptop from another production?

  I want to just transfer some data, but the connector on the Tecra ac no longer works.

  Hello!

  You can use a drive enclosure external DRIVE with USB port for this.
  The external HARD disk enclosure should be for 2.5 s HDD with IDE interface. All that s.

  Contact your local computer dealer. I'm sure they will have these cases.

• Tecra 8000: Question on the AC adapter

  Sorry bad English.
  The power suply to my tecra 8000 does not work it is not the wire but the receiver most? in Notepad. I have a new laptop, but there are some files inside the tecra and because I have no power I can't reach it. Does anyone nows a solution that won't cost me a lot of money?
  Greetings:

  Hello

  I'm not sure what you mean by 'receiver' on the adapter, but if the AC adapter is dead you will need a new.
  The Tecra 8000 uses this AC adapter: PA2450U - 15V, 3A, 45W
  If you want you can try to google for the part number and I'm sure you can find some good offers.
  You can also order this part form the Toshiba service partner in your country.
  It is a way easier to buy some supported and compatible.

• Tecra 8000: Question about upgrade hard drive

  Hello

  I recently bought laptop Tecra 8000 PII 400 MHZ. The laptop has 10 GB of hard drive.
  I want to increase my hard drive, which is a maximum size of the HD can I increaes in my laptop?

  Hello

  Unfortunately there is no official document on a maximum size of HARD drive, but I think you can use a 20, 30 GB without any problem.
  You can ask the service for a partner caught max supported size HARD drive or HARD drive dealer.

• Tecra 8000: monitor and the HARD disk does not work - does not start

  I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 8000 given to me the year last by my uncle. I live in England, but it is and bought the PC in Italy. I do not know if this causes complications, but I thought it may be useful.

  Since I got it it occasionally did not display any image of all system startup, so if I have given some time and restarted it would start working again. Happening of bagan more frequently and now I can't make it work. I have conections and found that everything was in place. Then he doesn't seem to be turning on, however when I replaced the front LED cable seems to be turning on and although I couldn't hear much the CPU was luminous heat. I opened the drive and it gave once more, succeeded him and he still wouldn't start. I had purchased and replaced the screws on the heatsink around this area but I did not handle it with many other things.

  So now, I have a monitor that does not work and a gard drive that won't start... Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Could be either the card mother, CPU or ram. The processor when it goes bad or is not locked in place (have had this before, install the CPU but forgot to turn the lock, so he cannot move) the computer will act as its startup, don't give any error and stay on a black screen. Verify that the processor is locked in place. Then remove the ram and try a stick of RAM that runs on another computer. If you try the RAM and the processor do not always start, then chances are your motherboard is dead and must be replaced. Hope this helps and that solve you the problem.

• Tecra 8000 on XP pro... How to adjust the brightness

  Hello

  I recently bought a Tecra 8000 with XP Pro installed.
  Unfortunately the LCD display too bright, but I can find no way of setting it.

  I understand that there is a brightness of toshiba laptop display utility.
  Can someone tell me if there is one for XP and if possible to direct me to it

  see you soon
  Michael

  Hello

  Usually, the FN + F6 and FN + F7 key combination decreases or increases the brightness of the display.
  But this only works if the Toshiba drivers are pre-installed. So check first if you have installed all the drivers needed and utilities on your laptop.

  Do you know where to find the necessary drivers on the Toshiba page?
