• 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 8100 - upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  Hello
  I just got a Toshiba Tecra 8100. I do not have this small a HHD and I wanted to know what size I can get it up to. I know y thread already asked this same question, but the technology continues to go better then perhaps there are HHD I can get.

  I am also wanting to upgrade the RAM. I've seen places that sell 144pin PC100 512 MB and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade this 2 of them or not.

  Any input would be great!
  Thank you

  Hello!

  The Tecra 8100 was delivered with HARD s up to 20 GB drive. I'm pretty sure that this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits ([www.48bitlba.com]).
  I put t know what HARD drive you have at the moment, but a hard HARD 40 GB or 60 GB would work in this good old classic.

  In addition, the Tecra 8100 can be upgraded to 512 MB of RAM. So that you can t upgrade your laptop to more RAM.

  Good bye

• Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM

  There was a discussion here ("Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM") on the upgrade memory.
  He said that for TECRA 8000 - capacity maximum 256 MB memory (2 x 128). (unlike TECRA 8100 - which can be upgraded to 512)

  Does anyone know if the BIOS change may allow 512 MB with TECRA 8000?

  Thanks in advance,
  Piotr

  Hello

  I don t think that after updating the BIOS on the Tecra 8000, you will be able to use the 512 MB of memory.
  Like you said you can use max 256 MB (2 x 128 MB SDRAM)

• Tecra 8100 does not work after upgrading RAM

  Hello
  I bought a kingston KTT-SO815/256 pc100 144 pin, did a 2.50.on of my Tecra 8100 BIOS update
  It still does not.
  In my BIOS total ram is ok, so the computer knows that it is in the slot B, but when I try to boot the computer to a blue screen appears necessary a bios update. (Already done) APCI is not good.
  Someone has an idea?
  Now there is in the slot A - 64 MB
  Tried to put 256 MB in the B slot
  them, that nothing worked changed

  Hello

  Well, the blue screen error message usually appears because of the failure of the software matter or material. In case you I guess, apparently because of the new RAM.

  The fact is that you can upgrade the memory to the maximum. 512 MB.
  These modules are compatible:
  PC100 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME)
  PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
  PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

  I recommend that you check you modules and try to use another compatible.

• Tecra 8100 2nd Slot of RAM does not

  Hello

  I just tried to install additional RAM in my Tecra 8100 and it is not displayed in the info XP Pro system.

  The chips I tried everything work and are PC100 144 pin. I tried a combination of 2 X 64 MB, 1 X 256 MB and 1 X 128 MB, but in each case, I get only one of them showing as installed.

  Everyone knows a similar problem? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could do to ensure that both can be picked up?

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hi Marc

  In my view here may not be a problem with the RAM modules as you use the right one. For Tecra 8100, you can use max 512 MB in two locations. If there is problem with just two slot that we some malfunctions. As much as I know there is no any kind of switch function where you can enable or disable the second memory slot.

• Tecra Z40 - A - the upgrade (RAM RAM)

  Hi all

  Ordered little RAM to upgrade my Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A, but can not find, for the life of me, anything where you want to insert online.

  I previously installed RAM under the keyboard (couple of clips holding it) and on the other, a small cover on the bottom, but the Z40 does not appear to be anywhere easily accessible.

  Has anyone upgraded RAM on the Z40? Or is it a big no, no, because of the guarantee?

  Thank you
  Lance

  Memory upgrade on this model Tecra is a bit complicated and, in my view, should not be done by the owner of the laptop. For some models of Ram upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and exact instructions how do proposed in document s user manuals, but not for your Tecra.

  For full access to the RAM modules lower lid should be removed and it can be done by people of service only. If you do this alone you can void the warranty valid.
  I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

• Tecra 8100 pc - 133 ram

  Can I use in my tecra 8100 (650 mhz) pc-133 ram?

  Hello

  RAM module original for your unit's PC100, but as far as I know you can also use PC 133. To avoid any problems. We can just have a problem if you use 100 PC unit which has a RAM PC133 memory.

  Good luck!

• Tecra 8100, upgrading the BIOS, whitch that hard drive is taken in charge (40 GB)?

  Hallo,

  I have an old Tecra 8100 one I want to update BIOS. Who knows who is supported (20 GB, 40 GB) hard drive and where can I find the specifications?

  Thanks for your information.

  Georg

  Hello

  As I m wrong not the Tecra 8100 does support an IDE HDD controller.
  In this case, it should be possible to use the 2.5 IDE HDD.

  I can't say much about the formats supported, but the fact is that the size of HDD supported depends on the HARD disk controller. The old controllers IDE up to what the ATA - 5 (also called Ultra ATA/66 or Ultra DMA/66) supported LBA 28 bits, which allows you to use the 120 GB HARD drive max.

  Since ATA - 6 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100), you can use IDE hard drives of more than 128GB.

  So if you want to, you can check your IDE HDD controller using a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition). Then you might find out what IDE controller is and what drives are supported.

  See you soon

• Tecra 8100 - CPU Upgrade

  Hello
  I have an old Tecra 8100. I've updated the 700 to 900 Mhz CPU. It works but the CPU is always set to 100 x 7 = 700 Mhz. I think this would work if I find a tool that can update the record DMI for the CPU. DMICFG can read the values but could not write them.
  Could someone tell my worms a solution?
  I think there is a Toshiba tool for this.

  Hello

  AFAIK more CPU, 800 MHz which was delivered with the Tecra 8100. I think it's limit.
  I found other topics about changing the CPU on the Tecra 8100.

  Maybe this help you: entered the BIOS using "Esc" + F1 during POST. Past processor speed of 'Low' to 'High' (used for recording of the battery).

• Tecra 8100: This HARD drive is supported for the upgrade?

  I want to improve the HD in a laptop Tecra 8100. However I can't find the HD player required to do this.

  Someone suggest where I can look?

  Hey Buddy, your notebook computer is an oldie.
  As far as I remember that the computer is about 6 years old.
  At that time, the supported laptop, 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, 15 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB HARD drive, and the disk 20 GB HARD is, in my view, a maximum size. More is not possible.

  I found kits of HARD drive you could use:
  PA3012U - 1 H 06 6 GB hard drive Kit II
  PA3027U - 1 H 12 12 GB hard drive Kit II
  PA3029U - 1:18 18 GB hard drive Kit II

• Upgrading processor on Tecra 8100

  Does anyone know if it is possible to use a Pentium 4 in a Tecra 8100? Are there any that will fit the connector and the motherboard will be able to cope?

  Hello

  Don t think you will be able to update the machine with a Pentium 4 CPU.
  The computer is equipped with an Intel? Mobile Pentium? III processor and it has three speeds of operation as follows:
  450 MHz
  500 MHz

  It seems that this is a limit.

• 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.
