Tecra 8000: Question about AC adaptor

In bad englisch sorry.
The power suply of my tecra 8000 isn't working it's not the wire but the reciever? in the notebook. I have a new notebook but there are some files inside the tecra and because I don't have power I can't reach it. Does anyone nows a solution that doesn't cost me a lot of money?
greetings H

If a new charger doesn't fix this problem, another solution would be to use a Tecra 520 docking station if you can find one cheaply. This also supports the Tecra 8000 (but not Tecra 8100, 8200). This will power the laptop via connections on the underside of the unit and so avoid the broken DC socket.
Of course you wouldn't be able to use the laptop as a portable, but it would at least provide a solution to enable you to retrieve valuable data.
Another thought: If the data is important to you, you could remove the hard drive and insert it in to the caddy of another (working) Tecra 8000 laptop.

Tecra 8000: Question about the Windows XP performance

My Tecra 8000 is just within the Microsoft minimum specification for running Windows XP.
I am concerned that by installing XP the machine will perform badly with XP eating up resources.
I would welcom hearing from others who have experience of putting XP on this or similar spece'd laptop.

Hi Paul, i'd installed XP Professional for my user n so far so good. Her broadband is also working well too. when this laptop was using Win98, i had to install a driver every time i added some new hardware. Now with XP Pro there is no need, she even managed to install the new printer herself without help. The same goes with the memory stick etc.
i re-built the Tecra 8000 (192 MB RAM) from scratch (XP Pro only, bypassed Win98) so i dont know how well it'd cope with dual OSs. Bear in mind that it's not that "roomy". i just like it super "clean". btw, the installation was much simpler than Win98 (not much to add). One more thing, i don't know how well it'd cope if it had a virus checker on it (might slow down the machine considerably). I just installed Sygate Firewall version of 5.5.2577 (downloaded from http://www.oldversion.com/program.php?n=sygate ) without any virus checker. it's a good Firewall n she's a sensible user (i've warned her all the things not to do etc). u might like to install that firewall (n turn off any unnecessary XP services) too BEFORE u go online.

Hypothetical question about power adaptors

I'm thinking about getting a Internet TV, the TV in question isnt wireless so was wondering whether its possible to have 1 powerline adapter into the hub, the other from the Vision box as normal but then buy another adaptor to plug in the TV? Would this be feasible or cause interference/slow the speed down etc?
Cheers

it wouldnt work, it'd be like splitting one ethernet cable and using it in two devices, its a great idea powerline adapters but very limited.
Isn't that what routers/switches are designed to do though?
The limit as always though is the overall throughput design of the powerline adaptors or ethernet devices.

Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

Hello,
I'm trying to get a DVI Signal from the Tecra A2 using the advanced Port Replicator III but without luck. Does the A2 support DVI anyway?
Another question: Is it possible to set the primary display to the external Monitor when using "extended Desktop"?
Thanks
Ralph Menon

Hello Ralph
Your unit doesnt support DVI port and you can not use it. As far as I know just ports that you can find on the unit you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.
The problem with primary display is that notebook is set to primary one and it can not be changed (on my Tecra M1 neither). The Windows will starts on external one but box for password will always appears on notebook display.

Tecra 8200: Question about screen 14.1 replacement

Hi, my screen only shows the left hand side, a line goes down the middle and the right hand side is blank. If I hold the screen outer tightly on the top left hand side, the whole screen lights up as normal. I have attached a remote screen and this works fine. I have been told this is a screen fault.
The screen part No is LTM14C438, they are very expensive. I can get a different screen number (LTM14C433), which is a 20 pin toshiba from a TE2000, and I am told it will work.
Can anyone confirm this, thanks, Allan

Thanks for reply. I saw a screen on Ebay and asked the question, the reply was that he did not know for sure, however if it was a 20 pin connection and the conection was in the same place, he was sure it would work. I was just trying to confirm. I rang Toshiba, they gave me 3 compatibale Part No's. They then informed me a new screen would be about 284. I am persisting with a remote screen until I find out one way or another. Thanks again. Allan

Tecra 750: Question about Infrared and TV remote control

Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone can help. I have an old Tecra 750 which I am using as an audio system to play my MP3 collection. It has an Infrared detector on it and I was wondering if it is possible to use this to receive IR from a TV remote control so I can use a remote to navigate my audio files. Does anyone know how to do this or where I could find out how? Is there any freeware to help perhaps? Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Hi,
The computer uses IRDA infra red and this is not compatible with the type of infra red used by normal remotes.
You could get an external infra red remote control which will plug into the USB port.

Tecra A2 - Question about different batteries

Got a problem with getting a new battery for a Tecra A2 PTA20A-20R002. The battery that came out of the laptop is a PA3356U-2BAS. On Toshiba's product sheet is says the battery is a PA3356U-1BAS or PA3357U-1BAL (high capacity).
Is the PA3356U-1BAS the same as the PA3356U-2BAS and the PA3356U-3BAS (for that matter)?
Also can I can use the PA3357U-3BAL instead of the PA3357U-1BAL?
I'm finding it difficult to source the battery numbers listed on the Toshiba datasheet in Australia (only seem to find compatibiles). The PA3357U-3BAL seems to be quite easy to find.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi
I agree with Akuma. I have also two batteries for my Toshiba notebook and both fit perfectly in the notebook.
I think the difference is maybe only the capacity or manufacture but it shouldnt be a problem to use both batteries.
And if the PS3357 batterie is listed for Tecra A2 on the Toshiba website it should fit too.

Question about specification of two Tecra 8000

I have 2 Tecra 8000 with the following specs.:
Intel Mobile Pentium II 400MHz
14.1 LCD
256MB PC66
30GB HDD
Intel Pentium II Xeon 300MHz
13.3 LCD
128MB PC100
30GB HDD
My question is, which do you think is better of the two? If the XEON processor is better, can I swap the LCD monitors, replacing the 13.3 with the 14.1.
Thanks....

I think the PII with 400Mhz is a little bit faster as the PII 300Mhz.
But this is not a big difference.

Tecra 8000: "EC/KBD Update" request on Power-On

Hello!
I couldn't start my Tecra 8000 because it says:
"Ready for EC/KBD Update. Place the EC/KBD update diskette in the drive an press any key to proceed".
I couldn't avoid this message, I remove batt / ac-adaptor, all drives, clean the keyboard - but nothing, I get alyways this message.
Does anyone have an idea?
TIA!
Marc

Hi,
For this message to appear normally the user would have to press a certain key combination at startup.
The fact that your machine is doing this constantly would suggest that there is either a problem with the keyboard (maybe liquid spillage) or that there is a problem with the keyboard controller.
The latter may need a new system board.
If you are competent then you could try dissconecting the keyboard and connecting an external one.
The other alternative is to take it to a Toshiba repair agent and ask them if they would update the EC/KBC for you - this is a simple procedure from a floppy disk and takes about two minutes.
regards,
Nick

Two Questions about Airport Express

All, I am a recent convert to using a Mac so bear with me.
I have two questions about the Airport Express.
Question if I buy one in the USA, I will visiting this week on holiday,can I use it the UK with a UK adaptor/apple plug?
Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
Any help and advice gratefully received.

Hello andixbox. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Question if I buy one in the USA, I will visiting this week on holiday,can I use it the UK with a UK adaptor/apple plug?
Yes, but at least two things to consider:
o The US version of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) only supports radio channels 1-11 in the 802.11g radio mode. Channels 12-14, used in other countries outside the US will not be available.
o The AXn supports both the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands for 802.11n. The 5 GHz band is restricted in certain countries (like the UK) so operating in this mode may get you unwanted attention.
That should be okay then because the Netgear broadcasts on channels 1-11. I hadn't appreciated the 5 Ghz band, but having checked both US and UK Apple sites the techspecs both mention 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz.
Can the Express be used with my current wireless network, using a Netgear DG834G V4, I have read lots in the forums about putting a $ sign in front of the WPA password?
If your intent is to have the AXn join the Netgear as a wireless client, then yes it should work. The "$" requirement was for WEP. This shouldn't be necessary for WPA or WPA2.
I intended to use the AXn as an range extender, but you mention wireless client, is that something different?

Question about download file in OAS4

Question about download file in OAS4:
I use Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 on my Windows NT 4.0 SP6;
I use PL/Sql Cartridge developer a document system; It's use the
upload/download in PL/Sql Cartridge;
I read the document , the Upload/download in Pl/Sql Base on the
Oracle Application Server's Content Service. the Problem is when I
download a document, If I upload a Html or MsWord file, It will store in a LongRaw column, when me download ; It's tell me can't
find a application to open this file; I will select a application
from list to open the download file;
As normal, It will open MsWord Automatic when download a "doc" file ; also It will open a new window of Browser to view a Html file;
I check the download process on client Browser; when download
file, The content-type always return "application/octet-stream";
Also the download File will lost the postfix of the file,
So Browser don't open the File Automatic;
I think If I set the correct Content-Type , Browser can know how open the file; So I use owa_content.set_content_type procedure
set the Doc file to "application/msword" , but the WEb Server always
return "application/octet-stream";
I didn't know how to do this problem, Plese help me.

I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

EBS 12.1.3: a few questions about cloning

Hi,
We have EBS 12.1.3 on AIX 7.1.
A few questions about cloning from shared application tier environment to non-shared application tier environment. We have been following "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone [ID 406982.1]"
Source environment (shared app tier):
- Two active application nodes and LB
- One active database and one passive database setup with Oracle Data Guard.
- SSL termination at the load balancer
- PCP implemented
Target environment (non-shared app tier):
- One active application node
- One active database node
- No SSL
- No PCP
After the cloning was completed we noticed the following problems in the target system:
1) Home page cannot be accessed as application tier $CONTEXT_FILE still contains "https" and ssl termination settings.
Workaround:
Modify (with text editor) Application Tier $CONTEXT_FILE as follows.
<webentryurlprotocol oa_var="s_webentryurlprotocol" customized="yes">http</webentryurlprotocol>
<sslterminator oa_var="s_enable_sslterminator">#</sslterminator>
<login_page oa_var="s_login_page" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000/OA_HTML/AppsLogin</login_page>
<externURL oa_var="s_external_url" customized="yes">http://myhost.mydomain.com:8000</externURL>
Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:
1. Logon to EBS web GUI and remove all nodes from all concurrent managers.
2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
BR,

Run AutoConfig and start application tier.
Is there a better and supported solution for this?No, you need to edit the context file manually and run AutoConfig.
2) Concurrent managers do not work correctly as they have still old node names (used in PCP in the source system). Workaround used:

2. Shutdown application tier. Verify that all concurrent managers have been shutdown. If not, kill the processes manually
3. As apps user run cmclean.sql
4. Restart application tier
Is there a better solution for this?You are following the best approach. You could update the node details from the backend if you want.
3) Database changes from ARCHIVELOG mode to nonarchivelog mode in the target system. Is there anyway to prevent this?By default, Rapid Clone will create the target database in noarchivelog mode.
4) Also, we would like to perform a full clone (app + db tiers) from production without shutting down the application. Is this possible? What would be the best documents to describe this? In Production, we have Oracle Data Guard setup with physical standby as per "Oracle Tech Note: Business Continuity for Oracle E-Business Release 12 Using Oracle 11g Physical Standby Database [ID 1070033.1]". This can be used when performing a hot clone for the database, right? Correct.
What about the application tier? Steps described in 406982.1 include running AutoConfig in which application tier should be down. Does the application need to be down when running "Maintain Snapshot Information"?You can copy the application tier node files while the application is up. And, you do not need to shutdown the application to run "Maintain Snapshot Information".
5) One final question (not related to cloning). Oracle Enterprise Manager console webUI has recently stopped working in IE8. E.g. https://myhost.mydomain.com:5501/em gives "Page cannot be displayed". This was working correctly last week. In Firefox, the same link is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this?
If it is working from one browser, then it should not be an EM issue. Have you tried from a different client and see if this works? Have you changed any setting in your IE browser? Please make sure you add the EM URL to the trusted sites list.
Thanks,
Hussein

Question About FireWire 800 port

With the coming of these new Firewire ports I have a question about using my FireStudio Project, It uses normal Firewire, now will I need to buy a Adaptor, or does apple even make one?? Will this still work, I don't get why they had to change it anyway, I mean I know it's faster, but now it's just more adaptors I have to buy, that is if they even make one.

There are plenty of adapters and cables out there. They're not that expensive ($5-$30). You can get a 9 pin to 6 pin firewire adapter and use whatever cable you used before. You could also get a 6 pin to 9 pin adapter. Do a search on amazon or your favorite electronics store, and you'll find plenty. Here's what Apple sells:

Tecra 8000 composite video out

I am trying to direct video output from my tecra 8000 via the yellow video composite jack at the back of the unit. I thought it was as simple as pluging in both sides of an RCA jack (one end to the video input of a VCR and the other end into the Tecra video jack).
I get NOTHING on the screen. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

I had already tried that with no results. There is also a 7 pin canon connector on the side of the laptop. This was provided with units that came with a DVD-ROM. Normally there would be a modem port there. I believe this round connector is for "S-Video" output. I was going to buy a cable for this, but like the composite video output, I'm afraid there is no video signal going to either port. The manual just talks about the port on the back of the unit and it doesn't say anything other than placing an RCA cable between it and a TV or VCR that has the same input port. It's really neither here nor there if I can get this to work, I'm just a little stumped is all.
