Satellite P100-347 (PSPA6E) - need Display Driver update

Hi all
The display drivers on the driver download page hasn't been updated in ages,
and I would very much like to update to the latest nVidia drivers.
However, when I try and install drivers from www.nvidia.com, they keep referring me to Toshiba,
but the driver we have available from there is only version 8.4.0.0.
Anyone got any tips on how to work around that, and can someone tell me what changes Toshiba has made to the drivers since nVidia redirects you instead of simply updating the drivers.
The windows version that came with the laptop is Windows XP MCE
Thanks in advance
Jimmi

Hi
> Anyone got any tips on how to work around that, and can someone tell me what changes Toshiba has made to the drivers since nVidia redirects you instead of simply updating the drivers.
The point is that Toshiba own graphic drivers are not the same like the original graphic driver from the card manufacturers.
The Toshiba own drivers are modified and support an overheating protection which helps to protect the hardware from overheating.
Why? Because the notebooks are not equipped with huge cooling modules like desktop graphic cards and therefore the driver must control a part of the heat dissipation!!
As far as I know its possible to install the drivers from nVidia website using the advanced installation procedure. You can update the driver from device manager and could point to the place where the driver was downloaded.
But note; the usage of non Toshiba graphic driver is only at your own risk and its not covered by warranty!!!
Cheers

Hi
I think youve got an Intel Lan card and this Vista Lan driver could be installed automatically using the Vista update function.
So it maybe you could establish the internet connection using the WLan and then you could run the Vista updates.

Editing software crashing-do I need Display driver update for Satelite C660

Hi folks,
recently I have installed trial versions of Adobe Premier cs5, then avid media composer and neither of them are loading, (not responding) and Adobe crashes on importerquicktime.prm.
Everywhere I look it seems to be telling me I need to update my drivers, but I have the latest driver available for this model,
Is it a QuickTime issue?
Or a driver issue?
Can anyone help me or even let me know what my options are?
Thanks
Conor

Hi
In internet I could find this interesting info:
+I am having issues with the ImporterQuicktime.prm with the new update 5,03.+
+Ive been editing on a project for months, and exported a QT with Avid DNxHD codec,+
+I started another project with this QT DNxHD file (to make sample clips), and then I updated to 5.03, and now PPro CS5 runs very slow, and then locks up. I did read the forums to find a solution.+
+I noticed when re launching PPro CS5, it would hang on the Exporter, and Importer Quicktime .prm, so I tested removing the plugin from the PPro>plugin>common folder. PPro CS5 launches very quickly and runs smooth- although the QT files are off line+
It looks like its not display driver issue If the info above would not help you, you should get in contact with Adobe support

Satellite P100-347: After 4.10 BIOS update fan always runs at maximum

Hi!
I have an P100-347 and had graphics stuttering problems while playing games. By updating BIOS 4.0 to 4.10 it solve the stuttering problem!!!
Now my fan always runs at maximum, It never ideals.
It's still the same even when i chooes lowconsumption configuration. I use the same drivers as before, just only updated the bios.
I have alsow tested with the latest intel chipset divers and Nvidia driver and it is still the same.
So my conclution is the BIOS, does Toshiba know anything about this issue and working on a newer bios?
Kind Regards Ismael

Everything points that the BIOS 4.10 is the common issue to the always high speed of the graphical fan even when the laptob is in standby mode.
I want to see some action like a new revise of the BIOS 4.10!

Satellite A100-599 - question about display driver update

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphic card and I have Bioshock like most of you the game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb...in the meantime NVIDIA released some new patches to the Forceware and after I rechecked the Toshiba driver support database I saw a new release in the Display driver list for WinXp.
One of them seems to be from 13/09/2007. I downloaded the drivers, installed them and after I checked the driver details in the Device manager list and to my surprise the details said the drivers are from 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in the drivers archive and surprise ...the drivers are really the old ones from 2006. So my question is this: Do you have any Display Drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D
Regards,Marian

I dont know if WE have. I think it would be took some long time to ask every single user: hey, do you have some drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Just a little bit of them... ;)
No, I have a better idea. Its like cooking a meal. The ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the website www.laptopvideo2go.com and .... ta ta ta TAAAA a lot of patience
To get some good "bio"shocked meal just follow this receipt:
Go to
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
read before you do anything (YES, even before you continue BREATHING) the FAQ-section on that site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
and then download the drivers. Do it, yes...
Then download drivercleaner by searching for it on www.google.com and THEN, read their Manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue breathing..)
After reading their manual you will something like:
1. Starting program, doing something, restarting machine
2. starting in safe mode, starting that program, removing..yadayadayada
3. Installing new driver
3. Playing Bioshock
4...
5..no..6. Thanking me and giving me your first born.. ;)
So, by cutting away around 40% of my humoristic stuff and following the constructive technical instructions from me you will be able to play bioshock.

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 :(.

Satellite P100-347 - problem with shutdown during gameplay

i have a problem with my Satellite P100-347(pspa6e)
After about 10 minutes playtime with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on.. my pc shuts down...
I suspected it was shutting down because of high gpu or cpu temp...
i could feel that my notebook was hot, but after playing for a while its normal...
so i installed HWmonitor to check my gpu,cpu and hdd temp...
this is what i shows:
THRM: 61.C - 141.F
CPU: core0\1 - both 64.C - 147.F
GPU: runs at stable 85 - 90.C
this at normal use...not games....
HDD: 39.C
Something has to be wrong!! gpu temp has to be too high?!?
i have tried a fresh OS install....
thnx for all answers and help!

Hello
I agree with Akuma. The fact is that suddenly shutdowns are mostly caused by too high temperature and shutdown is actually reaction for ??hardware protection??.
So what you should do is to clean up the cooling grill.
There is just one problem: if this should be done properly the notebook must be disassembled. So the question is how you want to do this?
At the moment, try to place your notebook on higher position, maybe on 4 books to make more distance between the notebook and the desk. I just hope the air circulation will be better and you will be able to play a little bit longer. Please test it and let us know what will happen.

Blank screen after display driver update Satellite Pro P200

I installed the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 display driver (8.432, from the Toshiba site via Tempo) on my Satellite Pro P200 yesterday. On rebooting everything looks fine as far as the Windows Vista Business "Please wait ..." screen, but instead of displaying the login page I get a blank screen (with a mouse cursor that moves around as normal). All I can do at this point is power off, and I've run out of ideas on how to get any further.
Things I've tried:
# booting into safe mode, low-resolution video or last known good configuration all result in the same blank screen.
# connecting to the system using remote desktop (to disable the driver) isn't possible because the system hasn't loaded the network drivers yet.
# I can't revert to a restore point because Vista can't find any (I made a manual one after installing windows updates on a couple of days ago).
I can run a command prompt from the system recovery options and would prefer to use that to disable the driver +if+ I knew how before resorting to the more drastic options.
A web search (http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ati+catalyst+vista+blank+screen&hl=en&sa= N) reveals that this has happened on a wide range of laptops with
previous releases of the driver, but none of the links I've looked at give a solution that's available to me.

No joy with an external screen so I bit the bullet and reinstalled from the product recovery disk. I tried expert mode to retain the data partition but that failed twice, so I had to restore it from the previous day's backup after doing a full reinstall. Two consolations, though.
# It allowed me to increase the size of the data partition.
# The display driver update worked fine on the fresh install.
Needless to say I've since found [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927525] which describes how you can disable a problem device driver (atikmdag in my case) from the system recovery command prompt :-(
Hopefully the instructions in there will help anybody who gets caught with similar problems.

Satellite P100-347 - nVidia drivers up to date?

Can Toshiba support please fix some up to date vista drivers for:
Satellite P100-347...(pspa6e)
this should be up to date at Toshiba`s homepage, because the drivers on
nvidia.com don`t work on my Toshiba notebook....
Thnx

It is well known that drivers downloaded from graphic card manufacturers support pages cannot be installed on mobile computers. Every notebook manufacturer must be sure that display driver will work well on specific notebook model and will not force graphic card to run on maximum level.
I hope you can understand why notebook manufacturers do this.
Anyway you can just hope that your message will be read by Toshiba support department. ;)

How to find exact motherboard model for Satellite P100-347?

Hello,
I am hoping someone could help me. I am looking for a new motherboard for my toshiba laptop as it needs replaced.
I own a pspa6e-03302cen Satellite P100-347 laptop and have not been able to find this board online anywhere. Although I have found two suppliers of many p100 motherboards they use alternate model numbers in which I cannot find anywhere in my documentation or on the actual computer. The model numbers they use are something like A000008350 or a number starting with k. I am pretty sure the supplier i have found has the motherboard i would need but i would need a list of all the alternate part numbers for my laptop or someway of finding the exact numbers. Any help on this matter is appreciated..
Thanks

To be honest I really do not believe someone here can offer you such info. As you know this info is for internal use and you can try to get this info from authorized service provider in your country. Sorry but I do not see better solution, except to wait here and hope someone can help.
Good luck!

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!!!!

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.

Satellite P100-347: Blue Leds - Can they be disabled/switched off?

I have read several topics in the forum about the P100 Harman/Kardon Speaker Blue LEDs/lights. None have expressed a final answer about how to switch off the LEDs.
I was wondering if any new update on this issue has occured. The last forum post about it was in February. Is it possible to switch off these annoying lights in the newer Satellite models? I would be willing to disconnect the leads if its an easy job.
My laptop is the Satellite P100-347 (SPA6E)
Thanks a lot

Hi Dan
Did you use the forum Advanced search???
I dont think so!!!
I used it and found several threads about this theme.
I searched in the Satellite P section for blue light and find these postings:

Instant shutdown and reboot on Satellite P100-347

My satellite P100-347 keeps shutting down instantly then restarting. Any solutions becuase its still new and very expensive for a replacement.

Hi there,
it seems your machine is overheating and then it makes a shutdown because of hardware security reasons.
You said it happened when playing NFS carbon, this is a good sign for a heat problem of cpu/vga.
I suggest you to clean your fan and your cooling system, because when its clobbed with dust the system can not be properly cooled and it has to shutdown to prevent severe damage to your precious hardware. Just take a can with compressed air and clean your cooling system (but be gently, otherwise you will damage the fan which transport the air which is heated from cpu/vga)
Just a question: which drivers are installed for your vga? Do you have the original toshiba display drivers? If not, then the problem is self explaining because the timings of the original drivers from nvidia/ati are not suitable for mobile computers.
