Portege M100 - Doesn't go in stand by

I have a Portege M100. For no apparent reason it no longer goes into standby mode automatically if left on battery power. I have checked power saver settings and these all appear to be ok eg standby after 5 mins etc.
Any ideas?

hi RogerGrand,
i assume you're using xp as operating system...
pls compare the settings in the "toshiba power saver" and the "energy options" of the os.
- on the first index tab on the bottom you should see anything like "stand-by"
- and on top "energy scheme" you should see the "power saver" ...
if there is something mixed up the system dont know which action should take place...
compare and check this settings!
and check if there is any precess in background doing a job and prevents from hibernation/standby.

Portege M100 runs at 600MHz after BIOS/FRIMWARE upgrade

Hello,
I got a Portege M100 this week, installed Debian GNU/Linux (Sid) on it and nearly everything was fine.
Then I upgraded to the latest BIOS/FIRMWARE (from V1.10 to V1.50) and now my Pentium M 1200 MHz runs at half speed.
I can't also load cpufreq, which controls the cpu speed.
I've seen that this problem is already known, so:
Will there come a new BIOS/FIRMWARE fix for that?

Hi Gypsyman,
Thanks for answering.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=23847&messageID=87452
Is what I meant with "Is already known".
But that doesn't help me...
I tried that option Battery->"Processing Speed", Battery->"CPU Sleep Mode",
Battery->"Cooling Method" and Configuration->"Device Config."
in all 24 different combinations, but nothing worked for me.
For updating I used the CD-image from toshiba.de,
which first updated the Firmware and then the BIOS.
If the CD-Image contains the same programs like the floppy image,
then the Firmware Upgrade should have been done with
CHGFIRMA.EXE (V2.25) EC42NOBB.bin (maybe V1.30)
the BIOS Upgrade should have been done with
CHGBIOS.EXE (V4.34) BIO0004T.COM (V1.50).
Before I upgraded I had BIOS (V1.10) and Firmware (unknown).

Portege M100 - Toshiba Utilities setup hangs

I have a Portege M100 (prob M100-112) that has been "hacked" about by its previous owner and I am trying to re-install all the tools and drivers.
In particular I want to upgrade the BIOS to v1.50 (from 1.30).
The BIOS upgrade tool (windows) complains that the common modules are not installed, but when I attempt to install the common modules the installer just hangs with no user interface visible and no errors.
I have re-installed all the items before it in the recommended order - but no luck :-(
Any help and constructive help welcom
Dave

Constructive help?
What else you can get on this forum? ;)
Hi Dave
I dont know which installation order you have used and what items you have installed before but fact is that Common modules must be installed at first before you start to install other Toshiba tools and utilities.
I presume you try to install WXP so here is the full installations order:

Sound Driver
Network Driver
Modem Driver
Wireless Network Driver
Atheros Client Utility
Cisco Aironet Client Utility
Infrared Driver
Common Modules
Power Management
Button Controls
Console
Utilities
ConfigFree
User`s Manual
DVD Player
Bluetooth Stack
Display Device Change Utility
DVD-RAM Driver Software
Mobile Extension
Skins for Windows Media Player
SD Memory Card Format
SD Secure Module
Wireless Hotkey Utility
Hotkey for Display Devices
Sun Java Runtime Environment
Management Console
Have you used this order?
Do you try to install THIS common modules?

Portege M100 screen/hinge problem

I have a Portege M100 and have a slight problem with the screen
The left screw has come out & been lost. This has left the screen very "wobbly" and it seems to have popped out of a catch or two, just on the left side as the case/back of screen seem to gape slightly from the front at times down by the hinge.
I would like to try to replace the screw & get it back to "normal" but I can't find any instructions or advice as to how the screen fits - can anyone help me to clip it back together & rplace the screw?
(please don't make comments about how old it is, it's what I have & I can't afford to replace it at the moment!)

Hi
I think there are no manuals or instructions how to replace something on a notebook. Such technical documents are not for public, they only available for authorized service provider.
So I would recommend an ASP because there you can also get the right spare part for your notebook and the technicians help you to repair it. :)

Portege M100 - How to replace the RTC battery?

Hello, the RTC battery of my Portege M100 is flat. I manage to order one from the internet but I can't locate it. I dismantle almost every part of the computer, but if someone could just guide me and give the procedure du replace it, it would be great. Thanks in advance!!

Hi friend,
its easy to replace the RTC battery on your machine. I did it already and I had no problems during the replacement, I mean it was a little bit tricky to find the batt. but I will give everything from my experience. ;)
Look first at the wireless lan card, theres a slot an under the slot is the minipci-wlan-card located. Near the wireless lan card slot is some little cover, this cover must be removed (gently). The RTC battery is located in some white insulator, but before peeling that little battery out, you must disconnect the battery from the mainboard. After disconnecting it, just lift the RTC up and place the new one there.
Thats all, unfortunately I cannot serve you with some pics, so you will have to imagine it by yourself. ;)
Good luck and greets
P.s.: If you feel uncomfortable in replacing the batt, then ask some techie to help you.

How to increase the shared video memory on Portege M100

I have a Portege M100 and I would to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: shared video memory 16-64MB
I have 768MB of RAM
but can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
where i can do it ?
(i'm french, sorry for the bad english)

Hi
I have also noticed that on units with Intel graphic chard it is not possible to ser shared memory usage manually and it works automatically. On units with ATI graphic card manual selection is possible.
Why is 16 MB in usage and not more, about that we can just speculate. If you want try to check Intel page. As far as I know they have very good explanations for own technology. Maybe you will find something there.

Stand activity doesn't work with standing desks (oh the irony)

I use a standing desk and normally stand from 9am to 2:30 every day (sometimes all day). Today I've worked with my hands on my keyboard from 9-2 and watch only thinks i've stood for 2 hours - the times that I went to the bathroom and when i went to get lunch. I suspect that L shaped hands up desk posture is considered "sitting" by watch when the irony is that i'm at a standing desk the whole time. Pretty hard to tell I guess but wow ironic that as one of the people who has been standing at work for a long time that I'm unlikely to ever meet my standing goal (guess 12 minutes beats 8 hours of standing according to apple watch - doh!)
Anybody else seeing this issue?

I am having the same sort of problem. My apple watch is giving me a minute for standing when I am actually sitting. Also at times when it reminds me to stand I stand for 5-10minutes and it doesn't alert I have done so. Unfortunately it makes you question the "exercise/activity" function that the watch is supposed to be measuring.

Recovery CD-ROM for Portege 3500 doesn't work!

I have Portege 3500 tablet-pc and the Recovery-cd doesn't work.
I followed the instructions but nothing happened that my windows start again!!
Can you tell me please how i can recover my notebook?
Thank you

Hi
As far as I know the Portg 3500 dose not support any internal CD/DVD drives.
Did you use an supported and compatible external drive to boot from the CD?

Re: Portege M100 - Microphone isn't working

When i call my firend, i listen him but he don't listen me, so can you help me please to make it done.

Message was edited by: piko33

Hello
Check the sound settings in Windows. Maybe the microphone is only disabled.
Furthermore you can try to update the sound and webcam driver. Both you can find on the Toshiba website.
Make sure that you use the newest version of Skype.

Portege M100 and DVI output

Have M100, docking station, and Samsung SyncMaster 910TM LCD monitor. Docking station has DVI output as well as the monitor. Do anyone know if M100 supports DVI or analogue only?
Thanks

Hello Damir
Some Portege R100 specification says that Video DVI-D (24pin digital only) port is not available and not supported.

Portege M100 Bios damaged

Hi,
yesterday i turned off my M100 by holding the power switch while it starts. Since the the power LED blinks orange when I turn it on and nothing else happens.
I read that this means, that the BIOS is damaged.
Is there a way to fix that or is this really the end of my little M100?
Thanks.

Hi!
You should try this at first: Remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor, wait up to one hour and then connect the battery and the AC/DC adaptor. Now you can try it again.
In worst case the mainboard must be replaced. For this you can go to an authorized service provider.
Bye

Portege M100 with PM 1,2 processors, but only run on 598MHz

Please help, I have 10 pcs M100, and 7 of them have no setting in Bios for "CPU Dynamic Frequencies Setting" (set the CPU speed, always low, always high, dynamic). The notebook that don't have that setting always run at 598 MHz. I already check with Sisoft Sandra and in windows system properties. The properties always show that the notebooks have Pentium-M 1,2GHz running at 598MHz. No different between running with ac adapter or battery.
The other one with the CPU Dynamic Frequencies Setting, can dynamically adjust the CPU clock. They can run at 1200MHz normally.

Hi
The Dynamic CPU Frequency mode is available in the Toshiba HWSetup.
There you can switch between the dynamically switchable mode, always high and always low mode.
Please check it!

Portege 7200 doesn't recognize external memory

I had downloaded Windows XP on my Portege 7200 (with 256 MB external memory) and it worked well. Suddenly, it started overheating and was extremely sluggish. I reformatted the disk, downloaded XP again and it appears to work well, even though slowly;
however it refuses to acknowledge the extrernal memory and appears to be working with the 64 MB internal memory only.
Is this an external memory (hardware) port problem or can I do something to fix this?

Hi
I have the same problem with a portege 7220.
I took out the 64MB Module and replaced it with a 256 MB Module. First it worked, but suddenly it did not recognized the module anymore. Even if I put back the old 64 MB module the bios only recognizes the built in 64 MB.
I tried to update the bios, but this did not worked as well. The system does not access the floppy disk in the docking station.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Walter

Several issues on Portege M100

Hello,
Forgive me in advance if this sounds a bit sketchy but my hubby is the useful one with these things but as his time is limited with work, I thought I would try and get some help in advance for when he gets home.
I purchased a M100 to take with us on our holidays mainly to just watch DVDs for the kids and some web browsing so didnt need anything fancy or new the guy we got it from has installed Ubuntu 9.10 Linux.
The main problem we are having is
1. We cant connect to the internet, the wireless LED light on top is still amber (I presume it should be green once all is well and connected), even though my husband has done the usual things that has connected our other 3 laptops to the wireless. He downloaded the user manual and it states to activate the wireless to press shift+F8, but this doesnt seem to be doing anything.
2. We cant play DVDs, the guy we got if from says he burned a CD from it, but when we asked about watching DVDs he said he didnt try any to know, when we insert the DVD it says we have to download a codex, which hubby is fine with doing if he could connect to the internet.
I hope all that made sense Please advice on what we could do
Many thanks

Portege M100 is pretty old notebook model and definitely not supported for Linux operating system so if you want to use all functions described in users manuals you must use supported WXP.
What you should do is to install operating system using original recovery installations CDs.
Did you get them with your notebook?
If you don't have them install WXP using original Microsoft WXP installations disc. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can download from Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
If you need right installations order list please let us know.

Portege M100: Blue screen during recovering

Recovery outlined in manual involving recovering cd results in blue screen: Fault: 0X0000007B (7B94528, OXC 00000034, OX00000000, Who can help me ?

I'm having similar problem with my Portege 3440CT. I was trying to install WinXP Pro (SP2), halfway thru the installation the BSOD came up with *** STOP: 0x0000007B message. I've tried a lot of things except sending it to
Toshiba support, and now ended up using it with Ubuntu linux as I have no problem installing linux on it. I'd still like to install Win XP thou and have dual boot, so please let me know if you find a solution on this.
Thanks.
