Toshiba Tecra 9000 noise
Hi all
I just bought the Toshiba Tecra 9000 Pentium 3 1 GHz, 256RAM of ebay. The problem is that after the start of some video applications or sometimes even opening new Web site which is in Macromedia Flash, I hear a strange noise, which I think is the hard drive. The sound is similar to the CDROM when you put there CD and he starts reading.
Maybe someone has any suggestions about who and can help out me. Maybe I have not configured something right.
Thank you in advance.
Hi mimi,
have you bought also the recovery and the tool & Utilities CD with the laptop? To exclude a software failure, you need to retrieve the laptop!
If you do not, you should your system clea. Perhaps it is a program which read or write to the hard disk at high speed!

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
So, what should I do?
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.

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 - left speaker does not work
Hello
the left speaker of my Toshiba Tecra 9000 no longer works.
Strangely, the right one still works perfectly.As far as I can tell this is not a problem concerning the links between the speaker and the motherboard.
I disassembled the laptop to check if the connection and firmly plugged it.Any ideas what the problem may be?
Thank you.
Hello Peter
As I see that you started several threads with different themes on your old Tecra 9000. I don't know where the condition is your Tecra but according to your assignment, you have disassembled the laptop integer. Have you taken some disassembly instructions or you did at your peril?
What about the speaker? Check all sound settings or player settings you use. Maybe left speaker off ot the sound is set to the right speaker only. If nothing is done it is possible that left speaker is defective. Tecra 9000 is old enough for laptop and everything is possible.

Hello
I recently acquired a Toshiba Tecra 9000. I added a new 40 GB hard drive and installed Windows XP. The standard display driver does not allow me to connect an external monitor to extend my Windows desktop on 2 screens, so I downloaded the latest driver on this site. However, when I try to install the driver (S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1179) a hardware setup error appears saying this driver has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify the compatibility with XP. There is no other driver to select on the Toshiba site, so I installed the driver. At first, everything seemed ok, but today my laptop has projected Blue 6 times within the last hour. I've now uninstalled the driver and have not had any problems. However, because I have everything installed display drivers display is basic at best.
No one else has this problem with the display driver for a Tecra 9000 with XP? Or anyone knows other drivers compatible with my model?
Thank you
It's very strange! All the drivers on the Toshiba download page are the same as the CD Utility & Tools.
Is your TECRA 9000 a European model?
Try using the driver CD tools & utilities. On this way, you'll be sure to use a right. -

I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra 9000 and recently discovered that the sound was no longer working.

I removed the device and allowed windows to detect & install, without success, then downloaded and tried many devices and generic drivers, drivers and
even later as suggested on a Web of Toshiba site, I find

I'm at a complete loss as to why it has stopped working and what to try next to try and solve the problem. Any
help or advice would be greatly appreciated.Concerning
KHello
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:

Tecra 9000 wireless (WPA)
I try to get a Toshiba Tecra 9000 working on our network has just changed from WEP to WPA Wireless. Is there an updated driver, etc. for this?
Hello
Well, your ad is a bit confusing to me.
Encoding methods if I know the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wireless Protected Access) are different. In this case you don t have no driver to install. The WEP key is a method of watching as WPA because WEP used 128 bit and WPA 48 bit coding.Good bye

Tecra 9000 - Download the software for new installation
Hi there;
I lost the disc for my Toshiba Tecra 9000 laptop.
Exactly what software needs to be downloaded to the default configuration for one of these?
Thank you very much
Hello
What 9000 model do you have?
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.
If you provide the machine part number I can let you know what software has been bundled with it.
Kind regards

Wireless with Tecra 9000 does not work
Hi, I have a toshiba tecra 9000, in the last weeks that I had problems with my windows xp, so I decided to install win 2000.
2000 is more stable, but I had a problem with the wireless card... I installed the latest drivers downloaded from the toshiba Web site... wireless card is installed successfully, but when I run the client Manager there is no way to find my access point...
I have no signal and cannot find any network... can you help me?
Thank youThe laptop is connected to the access point with the installed XP?
First, please be sure that your card wireless network has been activated on the laptop in the right way.
The switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F8 should be used to activate the wireless card.Does AP support the same standard as minPCI installed wireless network card wireless. I mean A. B or G standard.
The router and the card should support the same standard to pair properly -

Tecra 9000: SD card reader does not work with XP
I've made some progress on this issue, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQS, although the main problem is that FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF memory address is shared by the SD card controller and device memory SD card. Unless we find a way to edit the registry to resolve this conflict of memory, the simple answer is that the SD card reader does not work under XP.
I think that it would take a major surgery of the register or re-writing of drivers to move the address of memory used by the SD card device, I always work on this for now.
Can someone support Toshiba or Toshiba Marketing explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" sticker on it, when Toshiba does fully support XP on the 9000 series?

[Edited by: admin]
Hi David
Unfortunately, I n t think that you will find here a Toshiba marketing person or other departments. It is ONLY a user to user forum.
What you say, it is simply NOT true.
The Tecra 9000 was delivered with 3 different OS.
It was delivered with Windows XP Pro, W2k and Win98. You can order all the images of this Toshiba home Toshiba service partner. That's why Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
Tecra 9100 has been bundled with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and also supports Windows XP!Of course, there are different models with a different hardware configuration, but all supports Windows XP.
I put t know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card, but I guess you don t use the image of Toshiba. That's why you installed your operating system isn't properly. Because you are a newbie you don t know the Toshiba all the driver installation must be done in the right order and all Microsoft QFEs must be installed also.
As you can see you must pay attention to many important things if you want to manually install the operating system.
Good day
