Satellite P10 & WIN NT4.0 ???

Can anybody tell me if it is possible to install win NT 4.0 on Satellite P10. ( Procedure ???)
THX for info.

Hi,
a friend of mine had the same problem with his new Notebook from an other company. He had made the expirience that no drivers for newer hardware are developed!
So had you tried it with Win2000? It is the follower of Win NT and has most of the properties of NT.

Satellite P10-792/833: which is the chipset? IMPORTANT!

Hello everybody,
In order to install properly Win 2000 on a Toshiba Satellite P10-792, I must know which is the chipset of the motherboard.
It's impossible to find informations about this in the Web, and Toshiba is VERY inefficent: Is it possible that Toshiba sells notebook without specifying the technical specifications?????
Please answer me which chipset is installed in this notebook; IT ISN'T AN INTEL CHIPSET!

Thanks Fredo, that's right: It's an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP (RS300).
Obviously Toshiba doesn't say anything about this... I've called Toshiba phone assistance and they reply me "it's certainly an Intel 865PE chipset"; in the "download drivers/P10 series" there are only Intel chipset drivers... Toshiba is the ONLY producer that hasn't released the correct driver for its computer model...
I'll try to use Packard Bell (!!!) RS300 driver release in order to use properly my notebook. The other way is to use Ati reference drivers, but there are incomplete and not specific.
This is the reason because I'm not "cool" at all.

Satellite P10-832--- Shuts Down

Hi
From a couple of weeks my Satellite P10 shuts down suddenly
It happens with
1)Battery
2)AC adapter
3)Battery + AC adapter
Why?
I downloaded a bios update but it's always the same
I formatted about 3 times, without doing any internet connections (someone said to me it could be a virus from internet), but it shuts down even if the O.S. is just formatted and empty (with an antivirus)
I checked my CPU temperatures and I saw that it could shuts down at 36C or 39...or work at the best at 43C!
(so I escluded a temperature problem)
But I saw that when the CPU USAGE goes over the 50% the machine stays for a couple of seconds, or minutes (if I'm lucky!)...then shut downs once again!
The same problem happens to one of my friend, with the same computer!
I can't play any videogames or do any complete scan with my antivirus of because the CPU USAGE goes over the 50%!
Is it an hardware problem?
Thanks

(Sorry for my rude English!)

Hi again
Xaver is correct. Yesterday I've used a can of compressed air and was able to blow a lot of dust from the cooling system of my laptop. Then I placed the 'cleaner' laptop onto the USB cooler I had purchased and I launched a complete scan with McAfee. Well it went through without crashing. Then I launched a game (Battlefield) which was making the laptop to shutdown after a couple minutes, and I was able to play for a full hour before I decided that the test was conclusive.
My next step is either to find the appropriate screwdriver and proceed to clean the cooling unit more thoroughly or simply bring the filthy beast to a store that would do it for me.
Cheers and happy spring cleaning !

Satellite P10-802: What was new in sound driver update

There are new sound drivers for Satellite P10-802 which claim to add sound features such as 3d enhancement and software synthesizer and i would like to know what these actually do and if it's effective enough to bother updating.
For example the sound system is made by toshiba bass enhancement but when i put in my very costly bass earphones,
My cd player [produces atleast 5x more bass and clarity.
So i would like to know what the driver has to offer as to what the standard driver can do.
The driver description is as follows:-
A broad range of audio controls are possible by using this sound driver, including: Software Synthesizer, Microphone volume, 3D enhancement and Power management
thanks

Sounds much information to me already.
Updating is mostly a good thing and they remain the same standard sound driver, just with some new features.
Ok, I'll take a lokk at it.
3d enhancement: Seems like when using a complete surround sound speaker set was improved, maybe it added more settings like distance between front and rear or delay from rear speakers as you would have like using an expensive stereo receiver.
Software synthesizer is a little tweaking of how music for example sounds. IF you wish more bass or treble than you could adjust ist with this program.
I don't know if you need those features, so you have to decide on your own.

Satellite P10-504 - Slow system start

Hi again, help if you can.
My laptop takes good 8 minutes to get to the point when I can use it. Yet it only takes just over a minute to bring up all my desk top icons. The problem is the blue bar at the bottom, that's what takes the time to load, there's only 4 to load when desktop opens the only one is present and that is the speaker icon [vol control] the other three wireless icon, and the local area icon ,and windows one care icon,takes an age to come on.
I went into start up items and not knowing what to stop. I tick them all to not start but still it takes about eight minutes. Sometimes longer to fully operate, whilst I am waiting the blue disk light is full on. Any ideas appreciated.
I do use uni blue ,reg cleaner along with one care, neither at start up.
Thanks Colin
XP Professinoal SP3 and Satellite P10 504

Hey sido,
I also dont know why it takes 8 minutes until you can use your notebook but normally such problems are caused due the installed software and many programs start up folder.
You should remove all programs from start up folder that you dont need and check also msconfig (Start > run > msconfig). There you can also disable some start up programs that you dont need.
Furthermore uninstall all applications that you dont need and clean the registry using CCleaner.
If nothing does work you should reinstall Windows using Toshiba recovery disk. After recovery installation it should take 1 or 2 minutes until you can use notebook.

PS: Disk defragmentation is also useful ;)

Satellite P10-221, problem hotkey Fn F5

On my Toshiba Satellite P10-221, running WinXP, I used to be able to use Fn F5 to switch to my external display. Recently pressing Fn F5 brings up the same menu as always, but the only option is the LCD display. I used to have CRT and TV as options. Is anyone familiar with this problem? I already tried to install the Display Driver (Nvidia), but this did not solve the problem.
Thanks in advance!

The external display is connected properly (and does work on toshiba notebooks of my colleagues), so I guess that's not the problem. Besides, the menu always showed more options (CRT/TV), apart from just LCD, even if there was no external display connected. Furthermore I upgraded the display driver, because that was the advice of the Toshiba Helpdesk (and also the only thing they could come up with). So I really don't know how to fix it.

Reg Classpath setting in WIN NT4

Hi Friends,
I have installed JDK 1.3.1 recently on Win NT4 and facing the following problem..
1. when i say javac A.java it says can't read file.
My settings under environment variables r as follows..
PAth=C:\JDK1.3\BIN;
CLASSPATH=.;\C:\JDK1.3\lib\tools.jar;
Both these i have set under User variables.I would like to know if any one of these have to be set under System environment variable? If i don't put .;\ in classpath..then also it gives same error. Whether i write my prog in notepad or in DOs editor the problem is same.
Pl. help...i am fed up trying....i have read all related questions but my problem remains unsolved.I am able to work on Win 2000 but not NT4 and thats what is bugging me.
Thanks in advance and expecting a fast reply to this.
waiting for solution...
VA

See when i write the prog in dos editor then it says can't read file...even when i say edit A.java and open the editor. If i use "edit A.java" also no use.
The suggestion u gave for notepad doesn't work. I used all files option while saving and gave .java extension.But it gets saved as A.java.txt. It works only when i save it in double quotes like "A.java".Only this works on NT4. I still want to know what and how i can do it when i use Dos editor? Its not taking 4 character extn.So what to do?
See if anyone take interest to reply to this small question.
Thanks in advance.

Satellite P10-804: HDD Issue SMART WARNING

When I start up or reboot I get a message:
SMART: HDD Failure Is Imminent - Back Up And Replace HDD - Press F1 To Continue
Not the exact wording, though more or less correct.
This started 3 days ago. Basic online research suggests that the SMART warning system is not always correct.
1. Is there any software which will check the HDD and correct some errors ?
2. If I need to replace the HDD, what are the specs it can be replaced with ?
3. What is the largest Gig size it can take ?
4. What is the process, after replacement to use the Restore CD ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In an effort to help users avoid data loss, drive manufacturers are now incorporating logic into their drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. This system is called Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART).
The hard disk's integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drive's performance, determines from this information if the drive is behaving normally or not, and makes available status information to software that probes the drive and look at it.
In your case it is possible that the HDD will be dead early or later.
The Satellite P10-814 was delivered with a IDE (ATA-5) 60GB HDD 4200rpm .
I think the 80 GB should also work on the unit but I'm not 100% sure about that.
After HDD replacing (not very difficult) you should only boot up from the CD.
Then the notebook will start to install the Toshiba image.

Satellite P10 - start up/shut down are not working

I hope someone can help me. My Satellite P10 is having problems starting and shutting down.
When it starts up, it goes to a black screen with white wording, asking if I want to start windows normally, or in safe mode etc - it won't let me start it normally so I choose the option 'last good start up files' (or similar wording).
The pc then carries on starting up. I did a system restore but it's made no difference. Once it's started up, it's a lottery whether it's going to be ok, or whether it's in the process of crashing.
To shut down, I've got to push the off button, there's no other way it will shut down.
I've run avg, spybot, lavasoft adaware, xsoftspy, registry mechanic, spywareblaster etc but there doesn't seem to be anything 'wrong'.
The only thing I've installed recently is the new avg 7.5 and legacy family tree software - I downloaded both programmes from the manufacturers sites. Avg is free, although I might just have visited a crack site for the code for legacy :)
I would really appreciate it if anyone is kind enough to give me some advice :)

Hi Joao
I have had a bit of luck so far - I downloaded a little executable which checks for trojans - I had been infected by ntrootkit. I managed to get rid of it (switch off system restore, run security software, edit registry & reboot) which has in turn sorted out the start up and shut down problems.
However, I'm still getting problems - when I start up, it's in the lap of the Gods whether I need to reboot before I can open my broadband software.
Also, when it's playing up like that, I get a 'beep' when I try to stop processes through task manager. I've got a horrible feeling that it's the motherboard. Once I've rebooted, it's fine again.
This is driving me nuts... if anyone has any ideas on this latest development, I'd be grateful!!

Satellite P10 - trouble with grafic adapter

Hi,
When starting my Satellite P10 - 554 today, the display showed unsorted colored pixels all around the screen. The BIOS message appears fully normal. After booting into the graphical mode, starting windows XP, the screen keeps being black.
The hard disk works fine. I've checked the display. It's working fine.
I guess the graphic adapter (geforce go 5600) is damaged. Any chance getting my notebook fixed? Do I need a new mainboard, or is there any possibility replacing the graphic adapter? Where can I get the needed parts, used or unused? What do the "exchange parts" cost? Better buy a new notebook?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Steven from Germany, Duisburg.

Hi
>Any chance getting my notebook fixed? Do I need a new main board, or is there any possibility replacing the graphic adapter? Where can I get the needed parts, used or unused? What do the "exchange parts" cost? Better buy a new notebook?
Are you 100% sure that the graphic card is dead? This can be checked very easily.
You could connect the external monitor to the notebook and could check if the same appears on the external monitor too. If the same fault would appear on the external monitor then the GPU could be really faulty.
In such case the whole motherboard must be changed and such procedure costs a little fortune because the motherboard is on of the expansive notebook parts. You should calculate 300-350 euro
So maybe an second hand board could be a alternative.

Installation of extermal TV tuner PA3334U-1TVN on Satellite P10

I have a Toshiba Satellite P10. I also have a Toshiba External TV tuner Model No. PA3334U-1TVN.
Can someone tell me how it is connected to the notebook?
It appears that I am missing a wire that connects the Turner to the computer but I don't have a diagram that shows me the configuration.
Can someone tell me how this thing is setup or where I can find the manual on line that will tell me how to install it.
Thanks!

Hi
Ive googled a little bit but didnt find any information about this external TV tuner.
But it seems that this TV tuner supports the USB interface and must be connected to the notebooks USB port.
I have found this small pdf document with the connection diagram:

BIOS update does not install on Satellite P10

I tried and failed to update the BIOS in my Satellite P10 (PSP10E). I downloaded bios-20070807133603.zip as it is the update offered for this machine.
When I extract and run the SETUP.EXE file I get a warning message "rom wrong size". The other file extracted is al00200a.rom.
Can anyone help?

Found the answer here - [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB59014X0000R01.htm] - via Google.
Basic problem was that I was double clicking on the zip file instead of right click-extract all.

Satellite P10 keeps freezing up

Hi I need some help, my Satellite P10 series keeps constantly crashing over recent weeks. I have run a defrag, and error checked the laptop. I've also deleted a lot of files to free up space, and im not sure what to do.
The majority of the times it crashes, it just freezes up, sometimes i leave it a moment-in case its just a 'normal' moment that the laptops having, but it is just frozen! I have to shut it down, and obviously i keep losing data due to this!
Can someone help me out?
Side6

Hello Side
It will be interesting to know if you have noticed after which handling notebook freezes. In which moment the unit freezes?
It can be caused by connecting some external device (like in my case) or maybe starting some application while in background the CPU is on the limit. Is any antivir application installed and active?
Try to end some useless processes in device manager and observe what happen.

What internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

Can anyone give me an answer to what internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.
I've been told a SDR-6012 or a UJ-820 DVD+/-RW might work.
Please help
Thanks
Lee

Hi
Did you check the user manual of the P10 Satellite?
Sometimes the compatible CD/DVD drives can be found in the user manual which should be installed on your notebook.
If you dont have the user manual then you could download it from the Toshiba page.
However, if you will not find the right info in the user manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
Usually you could order a supported drive from these guys.
Its important that you know what drives are compatible due to the different master\slave\c-sel settings.
Bye and good luck

Satellite P10-554 shuts down after few minutes and I can not reboot

hello,
i hope anybody can help me with my satellite P10-554
when i start the notebook everything works fine a few minutes. than the monitor turns into black and the notebooks shuts down suddenly. i cannot reboot it, when i push the start-button nothing happens.
i have to wait for about an hour and then i can start it up again, but he works just a minute and shuts down again !
help me please, cause i need my notebook to work !

I did that many times. First you need a special torx-screwdriver. Then you can remove the cover over the fans. Than take your vacuum-cleaner and remove the dust. Take a brush or somethin else to remove the dust from the fans. Then, you need to remove I think 2 big screws, now you should hold the cooling falance in your hands, the one with the fans. Clean that properly.
After that you can remove the copper-cooler, with 2 more screws I think, but it is pretty obviously. Now you should see the blank cpu with lots of heat-paste on it. I dont know why they put so much of this stuff on it from toshiba. So get a better one like Arctic-Silver or sth. My advice is to take the CPU off (one screw on top as far as I remember) and clean the surface.
The copper you can clean under water, but dont use sth that could scratch the surface. After that let it dry good. Now just put the CPU back and fix it with the screw again. Take a !litte! heat paste and put it properly with a paper all over the surface of the CPU, but remember, just a little! Then follow all steps back, dont forget to clean the graphics-chip as well and put some paste on it. You can see which it is when you look under the fan-cooling-falance, there should be a rest of heat-paste. Everything back to its place and voil*, a nice, cool clean notebook. By the way, I replaced even the fans.
If you need further advice, just ask!
