• Sound crackling of the new Satellite L500-1XC right speaker

  Hello

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop yesterday and started from today afternoon, but since then, I have my speaker crackling noise right I want to know if there is any problem or it s due to moisture.

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if you have this crackling definitely maybe is there a serious problem with the speaker.
  Try to contact your dealer as soon as possible and ask for replacement. In my opinion, he should take the computer laptop back and give you new product.

• Is that what anyone has successfully downloaded the last 2 BIOS, 40 - WIN for the P100-188?

  The reason I ask is because when I try to download the file, it keeps coming up empty, I'm not comfortable with update by using the traditional method, because it seems that more things can go wrong during the process, and Toshiba recommends using the method of windows anyway.

  I don't understand, the graphics driver rated the latest version for my machine is 8.3.2.0, the one on my machine is 8.4.0.0, precise numbering convention the version I have installed is later, then how to version 8.3 is listed?

  Plus, when you download a new driver or BIOS, they do not have all the details on what the update fixes issues or addresses, they hide this information from us or just assuming that we are all psychic?

  Now they seem to display empty files so I know we are all human and we all make mistakes, but everybody works for this site carefully? I sent an email to ForumModeration October 17 not being able to post as he rode as "profanity or inappropriate language" even if the offending text is a link to a web page! 9 days later I'm still waiting on an answer, or even an acknowledgement.

  I'm sorry for ranting a bit but I can't help feeling that it would be easier to get blood out of a stone to an information of anyone.

  Hello

  Strange. Discover min ago I tried to download the BIOS 2.4WIN but I was not able to decompress this file. I think there must be a zip error. Maybe it will be fixed in the netx two or three days. Let's hope

  In any case, I also looked for more information on the update of the BIOS, and the release of details but it seems there is no more information on changes in the BIOS.
  But if you click more info to the right of each update you will find some descriptions. You will also find the Toshiba BIOS update Description.

  I think you should read this document before you start the BIOS updates.

  I also get the profanity or inappropriate language message and I guess that this happens because of filtering that controls the message before post in the forum.
  Sometimes it s a little annoying because I have to change the text, but I can live with them. (B-) be cool

• Comment for Satellite P100-188 owners looking to buy Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card

  I just bought a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card, which is excellent, much better than the piece of bad quality (in my opinion) of material that accompanies it. But I thought I'd find out other buyers from the perspective of this card that it heats up a fair bit. The problem is that the only warm place on the P100-188 (for me) was under the left Palm (maybe the graphics card is placed here) everywhere else was fine, the problem is that the PCMCIA socket is also in the same area, so when the sound card is used for heat in this area is considerably increased makes it uncomfortable typing for a while. I'm not too concerned, as I bought it mainly for games, and (for once) being left handed means that according to the means of the mouse will not rest my hand on the hot zone, but a right handed the person using the keys WASDX or similar for steering in FPS games the accumulation of heat in this area could be a problem.

  I just thought I'd let people know this potential on the side for another great product.

  Hello

  Thanks for your review. It s great know the advances and the disadvantages on each laptop.
  One of my notebooks is a Satellite A50 laptop and it also has a cooling fans that on the left side. For me its doesn't matter because I have a Mr. right-handed: D
  However, my other laptop support the fan on the right side and it's a little awkward for me but is no reason for me to not use this laptop.

• Satalite P100-188: Sound Volume low quality and no energy saving.

  Hello
  I already owned the Satalite P30 - 110 and found the sound quality very good - so I chose to upgrade to the P100-188 as a logical step but at a higher price.

  I found that the quality of the sound on the P100-188 is far below and even quieter and more slender, almost seems like a cheap passive speakers for PC but stronger together.

  Is it likely that my new laptop is down or is it a normal question on the new model?
  If this is a normal problem, I regret the purchase as its is important to me.
  The Power Saver utility that I liked in the P30 is also omitted from the P100. Can you please tell me if Toshiba intend publishes a software update to provide what I want to leave the laptop running in different operating modes depending on how I want to use it for example (downloads, etc).

  Also how to adjust the brightness of the screen? It was a feature in the TPS Toshiba Power Saver.

  Hello

  As far as I know the Toshiba Power saver is installed on many laptops Toshiba, but not on everything!
  It seems that the Satellite P100-188 was delivered without the Toshiba power saver.
  In this case, Windows power management control power options.
  You can define and save also different eating patterns in the Windows power options.

  On the sound: it's not easy to tell if it s a normal question.
  First of all I recommend to check sound and audio devices and make sure that the volume is set at a higher level.

• A few questions on Satellite P100-188

  Hi, I have a few questions about my new machine I bought recently so please bare with me during their reading...

  (1) I already owned the P30-145 and the sound was superb. The P100-188 is supposed to have the HD + sound stronger. I don't think so... This thing is much quieter and more slender compared to my previous machine!

  (2) the Nvidia badge sticker is missing inside! Normally I would not be embarrassed, but there is a small indentation carved especially for her with nothing on it! - and so a strange look.

  (3) in the bios, there is an option to change the amount of "fan noise" makes the machine. I've set it to 'performance', which is the option to forget noise and go full steam ahead. However, the fan harldy lights! Every now and then, he gives a quick 2 second air burst.

  The other day, I was playing the new game 'fear' that works amazingly I would say. But STILL the fan doesn't seem to turn on a large part. I worry a little bit, I must say.

  If anyone has read the lot of this right, thank you. Also could you please answer if you had similar problems with yous P100s.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. as far as I know this unit P100 speakers are placed under the keyboard.
  On other units, the speakers are placed above the keyboard. If you use the keyboard it of possible you hands cover the speakers. It is also possible that the volume of the speaker is a little lower because of the miniaturization of portable. However, you cannot compare different notebooks series because strains have another advantage than the other series.

  2 I read your first assignment on the missing sticker and I can t believe that such thing is a really a problem for your. I'm don't know if all the P100 was delivered with or without the sticker, but you can contact the dealer where you purchased this device and ask him a label. However, my laptop has not even a sticker, and it's not a problem for me.

  3 if the fan is set to performance so that means that CPU notebooks will run with a full performance, which is possible. In this case the CPU is going to produce a lot of heat and the cooling module must run with maximum performance to cool the CPU and decrease the temperature. If temperature decreases the arrested fan or run with low performance. It is a simple fact.

• Satellite Pro A10 - Sound crackles and fluctuates

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba A10 which has a card his SoundMAX. Often during playback of music or other audio sound will sometimes become crisp or oscillate between two fields. I use the latest version of the driver on the Toshiba site and using XP Home SP3.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you noticed when running other software it's the bottom?
  In your case, I recommend to check the CPU usage while the issue appears.

  It would be possible that the sound crackles because the CPU is stressed and overloaded.

  You can also install tool called DPC latency checking.
  It is a freeware tool that analyzes the capabilities of the system to properly manage the flow of data in real time.
  It may help find the cause of interruption in time real audio and video streams.

• Satellite P100-188 crash nv4.mini.sys

  Hi, new to this forum.

  Since the P100 188 PSPA3E, new, large laptop for my business including web design/download needs.

  Only fault in a few months was crack on cover near hinge, which was a common fault at all, that I understand. Never bothered to set it as cosmetic. She is now 2.5 years old.

  I started having problems with graphics on xp, when I got the system due to problems of Norton. I've also updated to windows 7 at this point, it having resisted before that time. Colors began to change, and I noticed that fans have become much louder and more and challenging. So I think that the graphics card may have suffered more heating, which seems to be a common problem in looking at sites of cell phone fix.

  I dismantled the phone and cleaned for the proccessor and graphics card heat sinks, they are matched!

  I reassembled and still have the same problem, the sytem has very poor graphics on external monitor (as does not appear on the LCD display) with verticle lines about 4 together in batches across the screen, even about to start of Toshiba. I tried several times to recovery disk, but it crashes with blue screen. ... nv4.mini.sys

  Research on google, I understand that it is a sure sign that there is a problem with the graphics card or its driver. I find the new driver who has just be released 6 days ago that I write, but how to install this new driver, when the system is not install and recover. Or is the card NVidia 7600 finished.

  No matter what advice or experience would be accepted with gratitude.

  Thanks for your help.

  Was hopeing that someone could have come back to this one.

  Motherboard is A000006530 with sepererate circuit board for GF-GO7600-N-A2 graph (since it seems that some video cards are in the main motherboard.

  It seems there have much said about updates driver on older cards of this type, don't not juggling software developments. As I am now trying a new Nvidia card is there a slight update of the older one?

  I would be pleased by your thoughts or experiences.

  Thanks in advance

• Satellite P100-188: where to find the Power Saver & Virtual Surround Sound

  Hello

  We know when or if Toshiba will allow us to download these utilities compatible with cell phones series P100-188? I've very disappointed with the sound quality compared to my satellite M45 I replaced this P100-188 (PSP3AE).

  I still don't see these utilities on the list tailored to this particular type of laptops. Can someone help me please?
  Thank you and Merry Christmas John

  Well, as far as I know some units of the P series are delivered without the energy saving and the virtual sound.
  I don t know why, but I guess that it s a kind of policy
  However, I don t think that Toshiba will design and develop the tools if the laptop has been delivered without these features.

  I remember from one of my friends bought a unit in a series of P a long time ago and this laptop has not also been bundled with Toshiba power saver.
  He had to use Windows power options instead of the energy saver.

• Crackle sound windows on Satellite P100

  I have a Satellite P100 and keep problems with the sound, I frequently get crackles of sound effects to Windows, and recently the speakers stopped working for a few moments, then came back. When I tried to turn the volume up I could not access the speaker controls as it said that there is no active device.

  Has anyone else had this problem or has a solution. ?

  Found an interesting thread about crackling noise on the P100 and as the user TDC , said that the audio driver should be updated.
  BUT: Before installing the audio driver updated to at least the BIOS version 2.10 or higher must be installed on the laptop.
  Be careful with the update of the BIOS. Choose the good BIOS and the right update procedure

• Satellite P100-188: recovery CD will install the SATA drivers on a blank HARD drive

  I was wondering if someone could tell me if my recovery disk would be automatically installs the drivers for SATA HDD on my P100-188, in the case of a hard drive failure total without needing a floppy drive.

  I've never had to use my recovery disc (touch wood), but I have the impression that it works in conjunction with a hidden partition on the hard drive in order to reinstall the operating system if and when necessary, I am not mistaken? If I'm so what happens if the hard drive is destroyed and a new disk? A

  s Windows is not integrated SATA drivers I've read on the Internet that would stop dead in its tracks installation if you do not have a diskette at hand drive.

  Someone had to deal with this problem?

  Hello

  Yes, the restore CD installs everything you need in a single step.

  The point is that the Toshiba Recovery CD is not the same as an original CD of MS Windows. The restore CD contains an image. It s a Pack that included OS Win, Toshiba drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

  So, using the CD recovery will install all the applications mentioned, as well as the SATA drivers ;)

  Welcome them

• I found the solution for the problem of sound-acpi with Satellite P100-219

  Hello

  I found the solution for the problem of sound-acpi with Toshiba P100 (it works with P100-219 at least). I can provide the source modified and compiled table DSDT, but I would like to know if it is possible to get these changes in the next update of the BIOS?

  See you soon,.

  Hi Mik

  As you know that it is not possible to find info on the next BIOS, especially if you want to have some information about the Linux operating system. Just wait and see if some forum users pointed out something on the subject.

• Satellite P100-188 starts after the upgrade of the wireless network card

  I recenty installed a new Intel 5100 Series 512AN_MWW Mini PCI NIC in my Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E database.
  However, when it is installed, he refused to view and start.

  I'm sure (read the technical info) that these cards use the same interface.
  So why it won't work?
  Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?

  I have the latest version of the BIOS installed 4.70 and am running Windows Vista.
  I am desperate for this that I already have a project N AP 2.0 and want to use it to its full capabilities.

  Cheers, Rob

  Hello

  If I understand your message you have improved the Interior card WLan Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG 802. 11a / g to Intel 5100 with project support.

  Boyfriend although it seems that you can't use the WLan draft N card in this laptop model.
  Seems such card is not compatible and cause interference.

  As I know the Draft N need of 3-wire antenna the antenna Satellite P100-188 supports 2 wires only and can be used with the 802.11 A, B or G standard.

• Can I upgrade the Nvidia on Satellite P100-188 card?

  Hello

  Having the Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E back to the United Kingdom. It seems now that I have a faulty card of the VGA GF-GO7600-N-A2, which is separated from the motherboard (A000006530), which is good news.

  As I will have to replace it now, can I switch to the best map? I looked through google for replacement for 7600 cards, but have been unable to locate the exact card replacement. I have sent emails to different suppliers in the United Kingdom and now am waiting for answers. Nothing on ebay either right now, outside the chip 7600 Hong Kong, which would mean a soldering job?

  Thanks in advance.

  In General, graphics card can not be updated - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm

  What do you think about possible risks (more heat and so forth)?
