Re: Split on upper lid on Satellite P100

I have had my laptop now for about 2 years. During the first year a split appeared near the hinge and the lid was replaced under warranty.
Now nearly a year later the same thing has happened again and the laptop is out of warranty.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and where can I get a permanent solution to the problem so that it does not need replacing again.

Hi Michael
Unfortunately, you will have to replace this cracked lid again.
Something similar happened to a friend of mine and since the second replacement everything is ok now.
It seems the ASP has replaced the upper lid with the new designed one.
Good luck

Cover splitting near the hinges on Satellite P100

The orange cover on my Satellite P100 keeps splitting by the hinges, even though I now take great care in opening and closing the lid. Toshiba have replaced it under warranty.
I think the hinge friction is too strong for the cover. Does anyone have a similar problem and if so what can we do?
It seems pointless to just keep replacing the cover each time.

A friend of mine has sent the notebook to replace the upper cover and everything was done for free!!! The warranty has covered the replacement.
The ASP technicians has changed the faulty part and said that new top cover was usedSeems they changed something on the cover near the hinges because until now everything is ok
Happy new year to all :)

Satellite P100: Cover hinge cracks

Jeffrey said that technicians replaced something inside the cover, and then all was well.
I would very much like to know what they did, so that I can ask for the same!
The cover on my P100 has been changed twice already but has failed again in the same place, by the left hinge, after very little use.

Hallo Allend
Toshiba have just repaired my Satellite P100 for the third time, under guarantee, although the initial period had expired.
This time they asked me to send it back for "expert attention" direct to Toshiba, rather than to an approved repair agent.
The cover looks better this time - previously there was an uneven finish over the hinge fixings which is where the cover split.
The repair note states that the cover and both hinges have been replaced, and that the replacement parts have been "updated to finally resolve the problem". This is a rough translation from French.
If I were you I would insist that only these the new parts are used.

Satellite P100 - Cannot delete the data from CD-RW disks

I have a Toshiba Satellite P100 laptop.
According to the User Manual it says:
You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW
I thought the whole idea of using a CD-RW was so you could delete whatever you wanted to and use that part of the disc again and again.
Can someone explain?

I didnt find this info in user manual and if you have burned some data on the CD-RW disks then it should be possible to format such CD-RW using an 3rd party tool like Nero Burning ROM for example.
I did it many times using Nero and was always successful

What's new in BIOS 4.50 - Satellite P100-332

Hi, a
nyone know whats the new functions on the new BIOS 4.50 for Satellite P100-332? Cause i try to click on "Toshiba Bios information" and he just loop again to the same web page... Is there anyone that knows whats new? or in a log file?

Hi guys
I can tell you that this a old story and I read about such stuttering long time ago
Many people have reported that this issue could be solved by BIOS and nVidia driver update!
This is also mentioned here in this Toshiba FAQ:
[New video driver and BIOS eliminates video 'stutter' during game play (Windows Vista) |http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml&sliceId=&dialogID=69796173&stateId=1 0 69794207]
So there is a solution, definitely!

Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
Here is what I have confirm:
Internal display + DVI connector display
OR
Internal display + VGA connector display
Is it possible to have:
DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
OR
DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

Error message for liveupdate engine COM module - Satellite P100

I have a Satellite P100 using Windows Vista home premium, and upgraded cable internet plans with Optus over the weekend to the Fusion89 plan.
Since then internet has been slow to open (up to 25 seconds when I click on a new tab), and attachments are slow to open from E-mails.
I also keep receiving an error message from Microsoft Windows stating "liveupdate engine COM module stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notify you if a solution is available".
I have contacted Microsoft who said they would help me for a fee, but as I have the laptop under an extended warranty, they suggested I contact the people I bought it from or Tochiba. Before I contact Clive Peters soes anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding my issues?
Any assistance will be much appreciated.

Try this:
Go to a Command Prompt and run "CHKDSK C: /F"
Run WindowsUpdate / update Internet Explorer
Try disabling your Antivirus software or Firewall software.
If you installed Optus/connection software, update the software.
Ensure the ISP (optus) proxy settings are correct in IE and the email software.

Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

Hi
Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
In your case the software problem is possible
Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!

Satellite P100: No Windows Vista CD but only Recovery CD

Hi I recently purchased a toshiba satellite P100, but it doesn't seem to have come with a Windows Vista disk, just preinstalled Vista.
The laptop is running fine at the moment, but I'm a bit worried that if something goes wrong in the future i'll have no way to reinstall the OS.
The laptop came with a recovery disk, and I'm not sure if Vista is included on this?
If not is there anyway I can make a copy of vista from the one installed on my HDD?
Thanks

Hi,
dont worry, you dont need to make a copy of your HDD since you already have a vista on your recovery media.
If you got problems with your system and you want to re-install it, then backup all your data to a external media, put the recovery in your CD/DVD drive, boot from it and then just "recover" or "reinstall" your system. The recovery process is working automatically and you will have a "factory-like" installation after recovering your machine.
Hope I could explain it to you... ;)
Greetings

Cannot find Windows Vista 32bit Drivers for my Satellite P100-347

Hi,
I did a fresh installation of Vista Ultimate 32-bit on my Satellite P100-347 and on going to the driver download page, the vista drivers are no longer there!
Unfortunately without those drivers the laptop's performance isn't optimum. Does this mean Toshiba doesn't support my laptop model anymore? I hope not!
Could someone please point me in the correct direction!

Someone posted, that it may be server maintenance. I found a couple of posts asking for the same.

Windows 8 Upgrade on Satellite P100-160 - No Sound

Hello everyone.
I own a Satellite P100-160 {http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-p100-160/}
I decided to upgrade the machine from Windows Vista to Windows 8.
The machine works o.k. apart from the fact there is no longer any sound.
It seems that windows 8 does not have the correct sound drivers.
Can anyone help me out with a solution?
The laptop is in good working order, and apart from no sound.
Thanks

Hello, thanks for your replies so far.
Just in case anyone else out there has tried to move to Windows 8 on an older laptop I will tell you
What I have tried that did NOT work.

None of the above suggestions / drivers worked.
The drivers all did install but ... no sound from the Laptop.
I accept this is an old laptop but it is in mint condition.
Here is my solution to date.
I bought a Sound Blaster X-fi Go! Pro external USB Sound card from Maplin U.K. yesterday.
It works and the sound quality is great!
I am currently using an external speaker ... but I may try to install the USB sound card inside the
Laptop and see if I can rewire the speakers ...
Here is a link to the USB Card.

By the way I have managed to upgrade 3 of my 4 laptops from Windows Vista /7 to Windows 8.
Here is what worked with comments.
Toshiba Satellite P100-160 - Vista to Windows 8. Only problem = No sound Driver.
Toshiba Satellite L300D - Vista -> Windows 7 - Windows 8. No problems at all.
HP G62 - Windows 7 -> Windows 8. No problems seen yet.
The only machine I cannot upgrade is an HP Envy 15-1060ea due to notebook specific ATI Radeon 4830 Driver.

How can i reinstall cd/dvd drive - Satellite P100 PSPAD

Hi
I have Satellite P100 (PSPAD), and my cd/dvd drive (I dont know how or when) suddenly disappeard, it does not appear in my computer or device manager,
I tried this but coul not find the lowerfilters so i delite the upperfilter and restart the computer but that did not work.
So can I reinstall it somehow and how do i do it?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2.
You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values.
To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Hi guys
Just one question;
Are you able to boot from the bootable disk like Toshiba recovery disk, Windows XP CD, Vista DVD or Linux live CD???
If yes, then you should try to reinstall the OS.
If not then this would mean that the CD/DVD drive malfunctions.
*@BlackJack_1*
You said the CD/DVD drive has been recognized by BIOS.
Do you see the whole CD/DVD drive title/name or you can see just the CD/DVD drive option.
You should also test if you can boot from one of the mentioned disk and to ensure that this is not a hardware issue!

CD/DVD drive Acoustic Silencer does not work on Satellite P100-194

Satellite P100-194 (Win XP MCE, Bios-Version 2.20)
Since there is excessive vibrating of the DVD-Multi-Drive with some of my DVDs and CDs, I would like to use the Acoustic Silencer, but theres no difference between Silent Mode and Normal Mode.
I have already tried to reinstall the Acoustic Silencer Tool, without success. Since this problem is starting to get really annoying, any help would be appreciated.
I wonder if the built-in DVD-multi-drive is that sensitive by default (sometimes the entire notebook starts vibrating combined with a very high noise level when reading a dvd) ?
Thanks in advance !

Hi WB,
I believe the Acoustic Silencer simply limits the rate at which information can be obtained from the CD/DVD with the intention of preventing the very high speed rotation that can sometimes occur when ripping CDS or DVDs to the hard drive. If you are simply watching DVDs (or listening to CDs for that matter) then the drive speed will not be particularly high since once the read buffer is full then there is no need to read any more data from the disc itself. If you watch the drive LED you will see that it only lights intermittently.
The drive speed will decrease during playback as the laser reads the information from the outside portion of the disc surface.
The presence of noise and vibration normally indicates that the disc is 'eccentric' or is not clamped centrally in the drive, and this can indicate a possible problem with the clamping mechanism itself. However, it is always worth checking that the centre hole in the disc itself has no burrs or pieces of materila that would throw it off-centre, and it is also worth checking if the disc label (assuming it is a stick-on paper type) is properly attached and has no buckles or air bubbles in it since this can also cause noise.
I have experience of a couple of CD-ROM game discs which cause a lot of noise and vibration in my notebook and on checkin I found that the centre hole was very slightly offset.
regards,

DVD drive does not burn/erase rewritables - Satellite P100-347

Hello,
I have purchased a Toshiba Satellite p100-347 PSPA6E laptop. It has a DVD Burner with model number: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N (firmware pt06). It has capabilities to burn all types of dvds (please see example using dvdino: http://tinyurl.com/2hbpqv ).
However, i cannot rewrite on my Maxell dvd+rw (1.4x speed) dvd. everytime i go to a software application to erase a dvd i've written on, it says format not recognised. For example Nero says "This disc is not rewritable and therefore cannot be erased. Please insert a rewritable disc".
The disc is rewritable because it says on the cover and also it burns on my friends rewritable dvd burner :(
Please can someone help :( i am really stuck and it would be much apreciated
Jas

Hello all,
thank you for your replies. Still no luck wth DLA :(. i installed DLA and i get the message 'write-once media such as CD-R or DVD-R is not supported by DLA' even though the dvd is a MAXELL Dvd+RW.
Now here is the strange part. I just borrowed a friends dvd external rewriter which burns the maxell dvd i have been using... it seems like that does not work on my laptop either now and works fine on my friends computer. perhaps it is not the dvd burner that is the problem but some setting on my pc. can someone please help :(.
