• Portege 7220 does not recognize the Extension of memory (Kingston)

  Hello

  Recently, I wanted to update my old notebook, Portege 7220 with a 256 MB Stick of Kingston Ram. According to their website, it should work, but the machine does not recognize the memory at all. (just using internal 64 MB).

  I can't upgrade the Bios either, because when I press F12 when the computer starts, it cannot read the floppy drive in the docking station. Do I need a USB floppy drive for that? I tried with a usb key, but it does not work. is there a possibility to redo an update of windows? (Comp running Windows 2000)

  Thanks for your help, much apprechiated.

  Only the TRAD of the BIOS version exists for this Portege.
  This means that you will not be able to update the Windows operating system running, but you will need an external floppy drive to perform these updates.

  Regarding your problem of memory;
  Check this box:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5388&ft=m&St=3

  You can find the compatible memory module. It s a PC100 144 pin SODIMM.

  Maybe you used the not-entirely-compatible module or the module is defective

• Portege 7220: Can I use the wireless network?

  Hello, I think to buy a Portege 7220 but need to know if it is possible to connect wireless to my office. I know how to configure the desktop computer, but I'm not yet sure on laptops. Do I need a pcmcia card? or something like that?
  Thanks in advance for any response.

  Hi, Sandra

  You are right. If you want to use the WLAN you PCMCIA WLAN card. You can buy it in every store of PC.

• Portege 7220 screen resolution problem

  I recently bought a laptop portege 7220 and windows me was installed until I can get more ram added for win xp. The problem I have is that the screen resolution is set at 16 bit color and it is stuck in resolution 800 x 600. I can't go to 1024 x 768 pixels. So instead of having a display full screen, everything is displayed in a small box on the screen. I have tried to install the drivers from the toshiba site and even have local pc tech shop trying to fix it, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can sort this problem because it's a great laptop and I want just full screen to work. Thanks for reading and any advice/info on the left.

  Hi, this must be a driver issue; your 7220 native resolution is 1024 x 768, that's why 800 x 600 is displayed in a window

  I suggest that you switch to Windows 2000, it works perfectly on a 7220 and has the lower memory requirements than XP
  In W2k there is most appropriate drivers available and with the drivers from the toshiba site, your problem should be solved

  BTW: Make sure that your BIOS settings are good (especially the "extended-mode display"), you should consider updating your BIOS to the latest version

• Portege 7220 - memory not recognized

  My Portege 7220 old does not recognize that there is a memory module. While my other 7140 just works very well with a RAM of 256 MB module. I tried my 64 MB module in the 7140, and it worked fine.

  I also tested the RAM of 256 MB of the 7140 module in my 7220, but BIOS still showed that there are 64 MB of RAM.

  So, what could be the problem with my 7220 and the extra RAM module?

  (Also the cover of the section of memory is missing, but I just put coverage on another laptop on it.)

  Slot's memory may be defective?
  I can't remember how many slots that old Portege Hat but I assume there are two of them.
  Have you tried to test both of them?

• Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

  I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

  Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

  I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

  -Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
  -Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
  -Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
  -In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
  -Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
  -Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

  The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

  I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

  Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

  From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

  -Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
  -Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
  -Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
  -Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
  -Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
  -Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

  I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

  the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

  I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

  That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

  It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE

• Portege 7220 upgrading to Windows XP

  What is the best way to upgrade to Windows XP? (now 98se)
  Y at - it might be those who have already upgraded, or is there a manual for this?

  THX in advance

  Gerard (Netherlands)

  Hello

  In my opinion, you can start WXP CD von Microsoft under 98SE and there are hardware compatibility Check option. After use check my system automatically. I'm sure that almost all of the drivers are by WXP. It is possible that the infrared function and a docking station may have some problems. Portege 7220 with operating system Windows XP Home edition is not supported by Toshiba.

  Good bye

• Portege 7220: has a switch from the darkness and brightness?

  Hi all
  do you know if the Portege 7220 has a twilight switch. My portege is just too bright?
  I read the manuals and searched the web - but do not know how to change...

  Help!

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure that this function works on the 7220 protégé, but usually the FN + F6 and FN + F7 key combination should be responsible for the display brightness and darkness.
  In addition, you should check the power Toshiba Powersaver modes. If the laptop works only with the battery then the Powersaver change the brightness of the display on the lower level due to the economy of battery power.

• Portege 7220 and windows 98. Black screen installation

  Hello

  I am facing this problem when I try to install win98 on the machine above Portege 7220 (/ PIII650/64/12/13 t/M), following on its docking station...

  I boot from a floppy disk and cd rom (e:\) access in order to run the installer of windows 98SE. Once I typed e:\setup.exe I get a black screen and the computer crashes. However I can install windows NT or 2000 on this machine, and also the windows 98SE cd works ok on other computers, i.e. no black screen!

  No idea what is the problem?

  Thanks in advance,
  Bar

  Hi Bar

  Please do not be angry on me, but I have to ask you something. Did you use Win98SE full version or simply update CD for Win98?

  It may be that your CD is scratched! Then please try another new CD or another OS as W2k!

• Portege M400 recovery English CD

  Hello, I was hoping that someone could help me. I just bought a Toshiba Portege M400 a guy on eBay. When I received it, all the manuals were in German, but the operating system and the programs were in English when I turned it on. So I decided to test the recovery CD to see if it would work, because I knew that I would probably need it in the near future. However, when I installed the OS was in German, all toshiba programs are in German. I sent the guy I bought it said to contact toshiba and see if they would be able to send me a recovery CD which is in English. I hope someone can help me coz Ive has now been left with a tablet pc that I can't use coz I don't understand German =)

  Thank you
  Gary.

  Hi guys

  I get the same info from the ASP in my country. You can get the Toshiba Recovery CD in the same language, where the laptop was purchased.
  If you want to use another language of the OS, so you need to install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft and then you can download and install the necessary Toshiba drivers on the site of Toshiba driver.
  By the way. Each manual user in all languages, you can also download from the Toshiba site.
