I think the Satellite L100 is slow - is it Dualcore issue

I have the L100 dualcore centrino but it has been acting strange.
Everything is taking so long to load. So i check with the task manager what was going on and it was saying one core was running at 100% and the other at about 3-4%.
Then i clicked proceeses tab to see what was using all thus CPU performance and the only thing coming up was firefox that was showing 1%.
Can anyone tell me what could be causing this problem and how to sort it out?
The only software i have installed are zonealarm (the one with all the bells and whistles) and a couple of games.
Another symptom is i cannot listen to any music without it skipping that is both cd and music ripped to the hdd but it is fine if I put the music on my mp3 player

To be honest I dont see any problems with you notebook.
The dual core CPU supports an Intel SpeedStep Technology.
This feature helps to adjust dynamically the CPU voltage and core frequency which would helps to decrease the heat dissipation. Simply said; the CPU runs not always with the full performance. Only if its needed.
So dont wonder if one of the cores runs with higher performance as the other core.
Secondly I see you have installed Zonealarm. I know this free firewall and to be honest it slows down the notebooks performance dramatically! I had it installed several months ago and every boot up took much longer as without the zonealarm.
So lean back buddy. your notebook is ok

Sometimes a beep sound when using the Satellite L100-130

Toshiba Satellite L100-130
Sometimes I hear a beep like sound for 1 second while using the computer. Do you know what causes the sound and how I can stop it :/.

Hi Chunfei
In my opinion its a normal issue.
The short beep sound appears because the OS cannot handle all the keyboard inputs at the same time.
I think it's a interrupt sound

Do you think the download site getting slower and slower.

Maybe the whole OTN site is getting slower.
I remeber, originally(back to jdev 902 RC) I selecting Jdeveloper based on I was downloading the Visual Age for Java and Jdev at the same time and after several minutes, I got Jdev and then got Oracle 9i, but the downloadings of DB2 and VA4J are sluggish.
Though, I'm currently main using Netbeans and Eclipse, after 4 years I want to get Jdev1013 a try, I must to say time passes and the situation has changed:
(comparing with other IDE site)
1) the download step is too complex
2) the download speed is too slow
3) I could not use my "Download Manager" software now
4) the cycle of release is too long, lag support the new JDK, which is the main reason I have to switch to other IDE
here is not reprove but heaty hope you (the whole team) can be aware!
Actually, there are many features exist in Jdev and still lack in other IDE:
1) Visual JSP/HTML/... dev
2) JSP/HTML preview
3) Full supporting J2EE stack (though too tight binding OC4J)
4) WebStar support
5) One click deployment
6) easy for newbies
that is it
best regards

It's already on sale. Most likely not anytime soon.

Satellite L100-113 does not start after memory upgrade

Hello.
Our integrator bring to our company memory modules KVR800D2S5, but notebook doesn't start :(
I read manual - this notebook supports 533 PC4200 memory modules.
But SO-DIMM 533MHz will be delivered only in a month...
What memory modules we can install to Toshiba L100-113?
Thank you.

Hi
I think the notebook does not power up due to a faulty or not fully compatible memory module.
Please check this 3rd party memory website:
[Memory for Toshiba Satellite L100-113|http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=22360&ft=m&st=3]
As you can see the Satellite L100-113 memory can be upgraded up to 2GB (2x 1GB) and you have to use the DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM

Does the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g ?

I think the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g

If you are a developer using iOS 8, you need to move this discussion to the Developer Forum.
Otherwise, iOS 8 has not been released and is not available for discussion yet.

Satellite L100-108: Upgrade from Intel 3945 WLan to Intel 4965agn

Hi,
It is possible to replace the wifi card that brought the Satellite L100-108 (Intel 3945ABG) for the one Intel 4965AGN?
Both cards are mini pci-e and the chipset on the motherboard (with the Everest says only that it is Toshiba), is the Intel i945GM.
Thanks in advance

Hi
Why you want to upgrade the WLan card?
I mean the Intel 3945ABG provide three different WLan standards.
OK, the Intel 4965AGN provides the 802.11 N standard but this standard cannot be used because the WLan card would need 3 wire wlan antenna
As far as I know the L100-108 has been equipped with two wires Wlan antenna which is designed for A B and G WLan standard.

What is a Satellite L100-181 and where is the support?

Hi,
I've bought a Satellite L100-181 a couple of years back and need some support.
I have searched toshiba.com, but cannot find any info on this type of machine.
I can only find L100-129 an -130.
Other data I found on the machine:
Model no: PSLA0E - 01HOOCBF
T2300/512/60GB54/15XT/DS2/LH/W
I would like to find info on the following issues:
1. Are there any bios- and or driver updates?
2. What is the max RAM that I can install (supported by the motherboard) ?
3. Is the L100-181 the same as the -129 or _131?
4. I would like to by a new battery, can I use a battery from a L100-129 ?
5. Why can't I find any support/info on my type of laptop ?
6. Is there a manual to clean the keyboard an laptop internals (dust removal)?
Any solid info is greatly appreciated !

Hi y20dth,
Sure there are informations on Toshibas downloadsite!
Just choose your model PSLA0E
Q1. Are there any bios- and or driver updates?
-which bios version is currently on your machine? and see download area
Q2. What is the max RAM that I can install (supported by the motherboard) ?
-see manual, also downloadable and depends on your operatinsystem also.
Q3. Is the L100-181 the same as the -129 or _131?
-as far as i know these numbers after the "-" reflecting the different equipment eg. hdd, ram and so on
Q4. I would like to by a new battery, can I use a battery from a L100-129 ?
-i would say yes - because it's the same modell, better ask a toshiba service partner.
Q5. Why can't I find any support/info on my type of laptop ?
-tried to download the user manual? there are helpful informations provided.
Q6. Is there a manual to clean the keyboard an laptop internals (dust removal)?
-as far as i know: nope, but using a brush without! solvents or water would do a nice job.

Satellite L100-130: Sound every time when start the computer

I have got a Toshiba Satellite L100-130 (my first notebook and my first experience with Windows XP). When I start my computer I hear the Microsoft Windows XP Sound, but after that I have to manually adjust the sound volume, because it is set at 0 every time I started up my notebook.
I wanted to know if this is normal with Windows XP/notebooks or there is something wrong with... anything...

Hi
As far as I know the L100 has no volume switch at the notebook side. Am I right?
Therefore the software application is responsible for the volume control.
Like Jeffrey has written in the post above you should check the sound volume controls in the sound and audio devices.
There you will find many controls. Check if all are set to the higher level.
But if it doesnt change the sound volume settings so I assume its a default setting and you have to increases the sound volume if you start the Media Player.

HT5731 I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I have a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN. Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased?

I forgot about slow download speed's negative effects... hence (I think) the videos I downloaded stop in the middle. I can get a better download speed if I connect directly to LAN. Is there anyway for me to fix the videos previously purchased or re download them without having to re purchase them? I'm attempting to play the video's directly from iTune "purchased" folder on my Win7 Home Premium PC.

Never mind.. I found instructions on how to re download purchased items. I only need help downloading 2 more items. I love the attention I've recieeved (I guess silly questions go unoticed... sigh)

I need field replaceable unit documentation for Satellite L100-108

Hello, I need field replaceable unit documentation for Toshiba Satellite L100-108 because I want to disassembly the screen.
Can you help me?
Thanks.

I doubt that other notebook manufactures are release her service manuals. Why should they do it?
A few years ago I had a notebook from another manufacture and I couldnt download service manual because its not for public too.
I can understand why these manuals are not for public because notebook disassembling is not so easy. Its pretty tricky and you must remove a lot of screws and parts. I think the most people dont have experience with this and so I go to an authorized service provider. The notebook technicians are the experts for this. ;)

Satellite L100: CD/DVD Drive is not recognised in Bios or My Computer

Satellite L100 - 170 Model No.PSLA3E 02501QEN running Win XP.
The CD/DVD drive icon has disappeared from My Computer and is not listed in Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
I have tried using the Add New Hardware facility in Control Panel but it does not list a CD Drive.
I have removed the drive and then re-seated it but it made no difference.
I have used System Restore to the last available date 26th January 08 but it does not restore the CD drive...and I no it was working at that time.
I don't think this is a faulty drive as it is picking up power and when you insert a CD it starts up as though it were about to read the disk but nothing appears on screen.
The Laptop belongs to an Autistic child and all I can get out of him is 'I don't know' when asked what has happened to the Laptop.
Sorry I don't have any other information.
Can anyone help.
Thanks
Jan

Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesnt appear in the BIOS or the BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then the chances are that the CD/DVD drive would malfunctions.
But the best way to check this is a new OS installation. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
If the notebook would be able to boot from the CD then the hardware is ok.

Service desk RFC destination in the Satellite system

HI All,
can any body tell me the RFC destination that is to be maintianed in the satellite system so that the message reaches the solution manager service desk.
I am creating messages they are being send to the service desk successfully but are not visible when I go into the service desk of the solution.
But they are visible through the transaction code CRM_DNO_MONITOR .Can any body help the RFC destination to be maintaned in the BCOS_CUST table so that the message reaches the Service Desk.]
Currently I am using the RFC destination to the service desk client in the solution manager ie SIDCLNT200
Thanks in advance
Regards
Amit

Hi Amit,
I think your expectation is not correct. I understood, you can create a message in a satellite system and you can see the ticket in SolMan service desk. Then everything is configured correct. What you are now looking for is to see the ticket in a solution when the sat. system is part of the solution. This is not working. If you create out of a solution a service desk ticket, these ticket get a special attribute that they belong to this solution, all other tickets can not be selected by a solution.
Sorry but I am quite sure that it is working like this.
There is only one option, that you define special variants so you can see only tickets from special systems, but these variants can not be assigned to a solution.

uDo

External drive refuses to work and the other is very slow

I was not sure if I should put this in Lion or macbook pro section since thats what I am trying on (mid 2010) version.
Hi,
I purchased maybe 4-6 months ago a Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black from amazon and one day it just suddenly stopped working and I was wondering if any one knew how to get it working again on my mac or windows machine, please as it has a lot of important data
it is this hard drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004NE76KQ/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
it makes no sounds or noises on my mac but when I plug it into my windows machine it does make a noise but then there is nothing in my computer and it will not recognise the device at all
Toshiba E05A100SBU3EW_C STOR.E ART 4 1TB USB 3.0 2.5 inch Hard Drive - Black
warranty is valid but I really hope I can save the files
I am getting a message from my macbook pro saying that its disconnecting it due to too much power or not enough, why would it say this and how can I re enable the drive?
Also I have a second DW or is it WD I forget but it works but its just runing 10 times slower then normal and I cant figure out why as I never touched them they just one day started acting this way after I had my macs scren replaced one of the ports is 3.0..
do you think the guy could of swapped out the usb t a 2.0 one? but then why would my mac keep telling me that its ejecting the drive

Have you tried updating your software? The issue with the keys will either be a software issue or an issue with your hardware, if you're on the newest software try re-installing it. It's very simple to do using the desktop software, if this does not work it seems to be a hardware issue, meaning repair or replacement is needed.
Also, updating/re-installing your software should also resolve any slow/freezing issues and hopefully stop your dialling problem.
Hope this helps

My wi-fi worked fine on Airport Express two days ago. Now the light is green, but I can't get the Internet on my satellite connection. I've checked Network Preferences, Aiport Express menu, and the satellite tech support. The Ethernet connection works.

My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning. I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection. I could not get an Internet connection. After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet. (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.) I called the satellite company technical support division last night. The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection. When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet. The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning. All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors. Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage?
I bought the module in 2009. I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hello everyone. I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12. I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop. They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection. In my case there was no power interruption. In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection. My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well. The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers. They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver. For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect. Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs. I mention all this for two reasons. First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this. Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac
