• Satellite L300 - update card WLan 802.11 N

  Hello

  I would like to share my L300 for a new wireless network adapter because I want to have the N standard.

  I have heard something '?

  That suits? And where exactly is sitting correctly because the map?

  > Is for me something "?"

  Yes. 802.11 antenna Wlan N standard needs three sons.
  Maybe the L300 has been only equipped with antenna two sons which is ok if you use wireless network cards that support 802.11 A, B or G standard.

  If eventually you can use the card 802.11 N WLan miniPCI due to the antenna of son tree is not available.

• Update card WLAN 11 g 11n on Satellite Pro A300-15U possible?

  Hello

  in the recent this t Magazin (Germany), there was a very good article on the replacement of the card with a (draft) 11n wlan more recent 300Mbit card. They said, it would take your laptop to get the map accessible (it is) and having two antennas (there). 11n can or used three but it does not all three.

  The mag says, some manufactured goods prohibiting this and you have an error in the bios if you are replacing the card, some don't and even provide assistance and instructions.

  So my questions are:

  1. don't Toshiba allows me to change the map, or you have to use "stuff"?
  2 Toshiba offer original parts to upgrade or you have to use third party items?

  Thanks for any adivce or help!

  Mirko

  That s is not so easy.

  A look at the underside of the laptop. It has a label and you should see the wireless network card is built in.
  If the card has A/G or B/G standard, then the laptop does not support the N standard, because for the new N standard, you need 3 antenna cables and the old standard has only 2 antennas.

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Portege R100: Bluetooh/WLAN 802 .11b/g Mini pCi card Combo available

  Hello

  does anyone know of a Mini-PCI solution, which combines a b/g WLAN Card with Bluetooth which is compatible with the R100?

  My new laptop has a bluetooth connection and a nice combination of WLAN/BT integrated in the R100 would be also cool that the R100 is. There are a few Combocards on eBay that are Mini-PCi cards, but I don't know if "mini-PCI" is a standard for all Mini PCi cards adapt the R100...

  Concerning

  Christian

  Hmm, I searched a bit for some information on the Portege R100 series and it seems that BT is not available and not extensible. This would mean that there is no room for the internal minPCI BT module.

  The WiFi network is available but not BT ;(

  In my opinion, you need to use an external solution such as a stick USB BT.

  unzipped and started install2.exe but I receaved this error:

  "* [Error] BIOS update is failed. "BIOS is not able, updated on this configuration."

  Windows xp sp2
  No installed external device

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  Hello

  You can download another version of the same-update bios here:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soID=1153942&MOID=385411&RPN=P PR10U

  This file contains more information on the execution of the update, see the readme file
  You can do an update directly in XP or make a bootable floppy or bootable CD

  If the "live update" in XP does not work, you will need at least a key-USB-fdd, most of them is easily recognized by the bios (hold F12 during startup and choose the fdd)

• A few questions about the Portege R100 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R100 of America with 768 MB of RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM on the PCMCIA card. I want to renew the Windows XP Pro Notebook by updating the material.

  -How can I update a larger HARD drive?
  -What RAM should I update?
  -Can I upgrade the processor?

  Thank you for your help.

  holger112

  Hello

  You cannot switch the processor!

  You can upgrade the HD, but because it is an interface 1.8 "HD with an ide (50 pin ATA) the best you can find is a 60 GB HD (Toshiba MK6006GAH 60 GB) you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price

  You can easily switch from memory with a module 1 GB pc2700-dimm ddr1 (like kingston or corsair) in replacement of the module of 512 MB to a maximum of 1.2 GB.

  You can buy them everywhere

  Also note:

  install XP on a R100 is not very easy, but you can find lots of information on this forum, as here:

• Portege R100 - missing some drivers Ethernet Controller Win XP

  The hard drive failed on my Portege R100, so I replaced and installed Windows XP.
  The only problem is that I'm missing some drivers, so I can't get into the Internet - significantly Device Manager indicates problems with the Ethernet controller.

  Is there a place to get these missing drivers? I don't even know what to look for to resolve part Ethernet controller.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you-

  George

  Hello

  Ethernet controller can be a LAN or WLan card.
  Have you installed the network card driver?

  All the drivers are located on the European driver Toshiba page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Protected R100 is an older model mobile phone, so you will need to check the Archive.
  In product type to download the form, choose Archive instead of the laptop.

• Problem of Eve Portege R100

  Dear friends,
  I have a problem with my newly purchased Portege R100. When I try to switch (or in hibernation mode, in fact), it starts the process and then stops and displays an error message saying that it is in conflict with the keyboard player and I might need to update this.
  Of course when I try to update, it shows not any update for the keyboard drivers.
  I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem and how you solved it.

  Thank you
  Riccardo

  Hi Riccardo

  As far as I know, this problem may occur if you use the external keyboard because for now what laptop enters standby or hibernation to stop all active processes. Now there may be some conflicts because many programs or processes can make the problems by putting off circuit.

  The external keyboard?

  Apparently, there is a bug in the display driver in Portege R100. You can update the PC with an improved display driver, V6.4823.104.22_2 to avoid this.

• Wireless connection on Portege R100

  I have a couple of portege R100. When you connect to my domain, using the wireless connection, the logon scripts fail to run the first time. If you log out, then log in again, the script will run without problem. Y at - it a fix for this problem?

  Hello

  Unfortunately have no proper explanation, but I guess that WLAN cannot be connected so fast that LAN and it may be the reason why the first logon fails. In my opinion it has nothing to do with the functionality of the device and this is just a feature of network.

  Maybe some WLAN expert can give you a good explanation.

  Good luck!

• Portege R100 and WUXGA(1920x1200) external LCD display

  I bought Dell 24 inch wide LCD display.

  I thought that my portege R100 can support the resolution 1920 x 1200 because its maximum resolution is 2048 x 1536, but it's not. TT

  Graphics chip is trident cyber xp4.

  I already tried to use software PowerStrip, but it did not work for the chipset graphic trident.

  Is it possible that I can use the resolution of WUXGA(1920x1200) using my portege R100 as regestry change or what ever?

  Hello

  I found the info that 1600 x 1200 is a resolution supported max for Portege R100. As much as I know there no way to change this through any changes to the registry. As you know the performance of the graphics card can not be changed.

  Good bye

• How to install the OS on Portege R100?

  I have a Portege R100 by the usual means. It has been formatted so it doesn t have something about that. I read there are three ways to install an operating system. PC with USB CD-rom card, I tried without success since the pc card is a 32-bit card.

  I ve tried to locate some computer dealers but they've all sent me away. Where can I buy (live in Trondheim, Norway) good CD with the specific pc card that would make me start the CD of Windows XP Home edition? Apparently Toshiba doesn't have a webshop with accessories. Is there another way to install Windows XP Home edition?
  Can I boot from a USB pin if I copy the CD of Windows XP Home edition for that?

  IM desperate please answer :)

  Lars cordially

  Hello, Lars

  If you want to use the original recovery media in this case, you must use external Toshiba card PC CD/DVD. The recovery image contains disk driver and because of this, the reader will be recognized correctly and start procedure will work automatically.

  If you want to use the own external device, you must use BACK pilot to first use and after use of the drive. On this forum, one user recommended to copy the contents of the full version of Microsoft on the second partition CD and after that start the installation from there.

  I didn t try so far and cannot give you more specific information how to proceed.

  Bye and good luck!
