Tecra 8100 - missing tv-out cable

Hello.
I have recently bought a Tecra 8100 laptop. Unfortunately there is no tv-out cable included.
According to the manual (ie. here: http://www.microdom.by/olddata/pdfspec/tecra_8100.pdf) the tv-out port provides a s-video (NTSC/PAL) signal via 3,5mm mini jack port.
The missing cable should be a RCA conversion cable.
Can anyone please tell me if there any specific requirements that such cable needs to meet? It's not hard to get an audio mini-jack to 2xRCA conversion cable, but this one obviously does not transmit the video signal.
Any clues?
I'm working on Win XP SP2, the graphic card installed is S3 Savage/MX.
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi mate,
I know that cable; its a rare accessoire of the Tecra 8100. The problem is, that the 3.5" mini-jack has its own format, so, it will only adapt from 1x 3,5" to 1x RCA.
Such cables can be either found on Ebay, or you contact an ASP (authorized service partner) which could surely send you such cable for some low money...
Heres a link (if you need it) to find the nearest ASP in your country:

Good luck man

Tecra 8100 TV out problems?? what socket? cable?

ok so I have a Tecra 8100 laptop
>runs all good... except I cant get the TV out socket working...
>Ive got windows XP on it....
first thing I wanna know about is the soket - its a 3.5mm jack socket (NOT RCA or S-vide0)
>so I have finaly managed to get a 3.5mm jack to video, audio cable...
>conected that to TV... nothing
have I got the write cable??
in dispaly properties I have installed the duo drivers and there is some extra options...
>whats confusing me is that there is 2 monitors there.. but is that because of the VGA out socket?
>I have tried tapping FN+F5... but not had any luck
Is there something simple that im missing like a cable?
>or a bit of software...

Hi
As far as I know at the right side you will find a Video out jack. To use this video out function you have to use a RCA video connector.
Please also check the settings in the BIOS. There you have to set the type of TV signal and select the television as an output device.
To connect the TV please follow this steps:
1. Turn the computer off
2. Use the composite video cable to connect the TV to the video out port
3. turn the television on
4. turn the notebook on
Hope this helps.

Tecra 8100 - no sound output except from mic!

I have a Tecra 8100 running Windows XP.
I can get no sound out of the speakers or headphones outputted from the computer, e.g. beep sounds, CD, etc. But if I un-mute the mic, I can hear through the headphones what the microphone picks up (there's just feedback without microphones, proving the speakers physically work). All the volume controls are on maximum and unmuted. All the devices are enabled and chosen correctly in the sound control panels.
Any help at all would be welcome!! Is it the sound card, or am I missing a driver? can't find anything else on the web with similar symptoms. Thanks in advance.

Hello
Thats a good questions and I never heard about such an issue...
I think at fist you should start to update the sound driver of your notebook. Therefore you can look on the Toshiba website for an update:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version, you should remove the old version first and restart the notebook.
Maybe a reinstallation of Windows with the Toshiba recovery disk could be also useful and in worst case its a hardware malfunction and you have to exchange the mainboard. :(

Changing IRQ assignment for Tecra 8100

I think there is an IRQ conflict on my Tecra 8100. I have a PCMCIA wi-fi card which uses IRQ11. This IRQ is also shared by the Yamaha sound device. And ALSO by the USB root hub :-(
I can't work out how to disable USB in the BIOS - I have set it to "DISABLED" but the USB root hub is still detected in Windows. I'm going to try updating the BIOS to see if I can resolve this.
I also can't work out how to disabled the on-board sound - is this possible?
I initially had the PCMCIA card in the PCI port 1 (which had cardbus controller IRQ of 11). I tried changing to the other PCI port (with IRQ 7) but the card still used IRQ 11 - now I have FIVE devices all sharing IRQ 11 !! USB, PCMCIA, sound, and 2 PCI cardbus controllers.
Any ideas on how I can get rid of the USB and/or change the IRQ of the sound device?!
Cheers,
Dan.

Hi Tom, and thanks for your response.
I thought maybe I had an IRQ conflict, but after doing a bit of googling I find that this is normal and Win2k assigns either IRQ 9 or IRQ 11 for most devices and that it's not possible to change them without reinstallation of the OS.
The problem I have is with my network card. I have a PCMCIA wi-fi card connected to my home wireless network. All PCs in the house are using the same brand of card (3 PCs using PCI US Robotics and laptop using PCMCIA US Robotics all connecting to a US Robotics wireless access point. The laptop connection is dropped every 5 mins and then reconnected.
In fact, the connection is dropped every five mins EXACTLY which is why I thought the problem was related to the laptop and not interference. Other PCs are not affected in the same way.
I have looked at power management settings, but can't find anything that could cause this. There are no specific settings for the NIC, and all other power options have ben set to "always on" (or the equivalent).
I upgraded to latest drivers from USR, but the problem persists. I also upgraded to service pack 4 of Win2k, but this didn't change anything.
Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It's not a major problem, but is very annoying - I keep seeing the connection becoming re-established and a pop-up information text every 5 mins - it is driving me crazy!
Cheers,
Dan.

Tecra 8100 CPU upgrade???

Hi,
what is the maximum CPU to install? And what Socket? Is it microPGA2 Socket and PIII 850 Mhz (100Mhz Busspeed) or what is the fastest CPU to use within the Tecra8100?

Dear littlco,
probably this forum should be here to help people, but it isn't. I've read many topics here, and there always is a person who says "contact toshiba support". If a person doesn't know the answer, he shouldn't post a reply. And the cost of new CPU in EU is about 20 euro (talking about PIII 800 or similar) so it is much cheaper than buing a new notebook. And remember that following advertisements and buing new, high-end machines not always fits a customer needs. That's about the venting.
And to answer mrxmrx: Toshiba Tecra 8100 uses a microPGA2 socket. I can't tell you for sure what is the highest CPU it can use (somebody found such information yet), but it can depend on a BIOS version your machine has. I think it should run the CPU about 200MHz over the manufacturer's specifications, but the only way to check it out is to go to some nice store with used parts and ask the seller there to make some tests using various CPUs. That is what I did to learn that my SP 4270 can run with PIII 700 (instead the default Celeron 500).
I wish you luck.

Tecra 8100: solid vertical white & screen goes blank

Hello,
My Tecra 8100 has (or used to have) what seems to be a 'known fault': screen goes blank, can be got back by pressing fn+f5 or the little metal button.
It also acquired a solid vertical white line about 1mm wide and about 30mm from the left hand edge. I managed to stop the blanking (backlight?) problem (thankyou to those who replied to my previous, now locked, question!) by taking the cover off the screen and unplugging and replugging the inverter. So now the screen always stays on. Unfortunately the white line is still there, and whereas previously the screen was normal except for the line, now everything to the right of it (i.e. all but 1" of the screen) is just multicoloured stripes.
What do you think? I've been told that all the inverter does is power the backlight, which suggests the lines problem is something else. But they happened at the same time. Also, as far as I can remember, when I was fiddling about with the inverter connection the lines problem came and went (then came and stayed). Could it still be a bad inverter connection? Or a broken inverter? Or more likely to be something else?
cheers,
George

If it indeed is a loose connection its really no more difficult then when you undone the display to reconnect the inverter. A few more screws and you will be able to lift the display off the harness and check the connector in that connects the display to the inverter (not the white and pink wires, thats the inverter backlights, but the wire that plugs in to the left side of the inverter and goes up the back of the display and connects to it. It is a flat cable) When you reattach this cable if you choose not to take it to an ASP, make sure to tape it down good so it does not come loose again. After this if the problem is not resolved, your display is broken and will need to be replaced. It can be costly.

Tecra 8100 Internet Password

I have recently purchased a used Tecra 8100, attempts to connect to the internet appear to be failing either because the equipment was previously used on a LAN with a supervisor password (which I don't know), or because the modem tone signal is missing (as reported during the `dial-up'), maybe the two are connected.
How can I get rid of the supervisor password, which inserts itself in the `dial-up' box automatically ?

Hi
As far as I know you can not delete the supervisor password without to know the old one.
I have found this Toshiba document which describes how to setup the Supervisor Password with Toshiba Assist Utility?
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ6201DY0010R01.htm
But in my opinion the supervisor password has nothing to do with the dial-up box.
I assume you use the modem connectivity to connect to the internet? Am I right?
If you can not connect so please check the modem properties. There you will find the dial control area. There you can disable the option Wait for dial tone before dialing.

Tecra 8100 CPU gets too hot

Well, some could remember my previous post about fan activation in my Tecra 8100.
This notebook came to me as a gift by a customer, because screen didn't work. After a bit of research, the problem was the internal cold cathode, that was broken. Once replaced: yup! a free notebook for me!! It was a Pentium III 650 Mobile, with 64MB of RAM and a 12GB hard disk. I replaced all those componentes (that are now for sale, btw) and it now has a Pentium III 850 Mobile, 512MB of RAM and a 40GB hard disk. Some one gave me a PCMCIA 11Mbps WiFi card, and now how it is working, with Windows XP Professional and updated Toshiba utilities and drivers downloaded from Toshiba USA.
What's the buzz? SpeedFan, Motherboard Monitor and other monitoring utilities reports temperatures of up to 72?ºC in the CPU. I opened the notebook and put thermal paste instead of the sticker the heatsink has. Temperature keeps high, and Toshiba Utilities even at "high performance cooling" settings doesn't make the fan cool the cpu...
I have not hangs at all, but notebook case and pcmcia cards get too hot even with the system working with no apps running. Lowering the CPU clock or ratio doesn't help at all.
I'm thinking of putting an extra fan somewhere to force air flow and that way cool the cpu, unless that...
...Toshiba could develop an utility that allows to directly control fan speed. I don't know if thermal management is hardware or software driven. If it's software driven, it should be easy to create a utility that access directly to fan and temperature registers. That would be MUCH better that simply let the computer decide when and how long to activate the fan.
I'm sure that Toshiba engineers are busy with more important things that will not allow them to create the utility for us, so...
...what to check or do to cool down the CPU to more appropiate values?
Thanks all!

Hi
Like in you previous posting described the Toshiba power saver controls the CPU and fan usage.
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=12585
This software works great and if you use the notebook as prescribed, you shouldn't get any problems and overheating issues.
The problem is that you have changed all devices and parts on you notebook. The new parts are efficient but produce more warmness.
On the notebook you can cool the CPU with one little fan and if it doesn't last out, it's necessary to decrease the CPU performance.
This is a simple fact. All these functions can be set with power saver.
Furthermore it's very important that your cooling module is clear and no dust and debris handicap the fan working.

My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes. I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables. Ipod is charging when connected. I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes, I've removed and reinstalled Itunes. I've done a factory default, and I've changed out cables. The ipod shows connected but does not show.

Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this to see if it helps determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem'
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

6500s TV-out cable on other phone compatibility

6500s tv-out cable ca-92u
is it able to use on other model such as 5610XM since mini usb connector is found on both devices.
or
the tv-out system is phone dependant or cable dependant like headsets and other accessories?

first of all, thanks for ur reply.
you've been tried that b4?
I need an actual test result but not just some theoretically thought.
5610's camera capability on still image and video capturing is almost the same quality found on 6500s
if it's able to use the tv-out cable as well i think that would be a great enhancement for this modelMessage Edited by feimeng on 26-Nov-200702:29 AM

Looking for appropriate TV-Out cable

Hey guys... I lost my tv-out cables in a recent move. Looked all over for them, but they're gone. The card that these fit is an XFX 7900GT.
I really have two options. The first, preferred option is to get a new 7-pin tv-out cable. I have found one that would be perfect. Unfortunately, it ships out of England. (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductI … arProducts)
I can't find this particular piece on any other website whatsoever. I've been looking for something similar (Obviously, I don't want to spend a lot of money having this thing shipped only to not have it work), but so far have had little luck.
The other option is to use a DVI-D converter, but most only go to HDTV component. Unfortunately, I don't have an HDTV.
However, I do plan on buying an HDTV at some point in the future, and would like the cable to support both RCA and Component (as the cord above does).
Has anyone seen anything such as this anywhere available from a US retailer or e-tailer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try setting tv out as the default accessory and then try it out.
As far as I know Nokia has only one tv-out cable and that's the ca-75u which should be the same one you're referring to. Push the cable in firmly and make sure it goes all the way in. I have two cables and with one of them i have to take the cover off my phone for it to go all the way and work
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard

N93 TV-Out cable needed

Please can Nokia or any formite advise where I can get another TV-out cable for my N93, accessories of Nokia state they don't have them??????
WHat if they break, thats not my problem I need one for the car and one for the tv in the house, I could really really do with another any links or advice welcome.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply, Funny enough I have tried that, contacted Nokia Help and they said the following:
Thank you for contacting Nokia Helpline.
Thank you for your interest in purchasing Nokia products. Unfortunately we are unable to supply any handsets or accessories directly to the end-user through this channel. We can however recommend that you visit http://shop.nokia.co.uk/ where a range of Nokia products can be purchased on-line. - GREAT :-(
SO I TRIED TO CONTACT THEIR ONLINE SHOP THEIR RESPONSE IS AS FOLLOWS:
Thank you for contacting the Nokia UK Online Shop.
The Nokia UK Online Shop carries an extensive range of Nokia products. The cable is currently not included in this range. Please follow this link to our store locator where you will be able to find your nearest supplier of Nokia products. EVAN BETTER :-(
SO Neither place can supply me a TV-out cable, Can't say I'm to happy about that :-(
I'm willing to pay but can't buy??? and I'm sure other owners of this phone could use another/replacement.
Anyone at Nokia or forum got one or know where to source one.
Thanks

RX9800PRO-TD128 and TV-Out cable

Hi,
I've bought this card but OEM version and now I'm in trouble because of lack of TV-Out cable. Could someone send me a schema of this cable so I'm able to make one myself ?
Best regards
Marek

Hi,
Thanks for reply, but the card actually has pretty rare 9-pin socket, not a regulkar 4-pin S-Video. But somebody mailed me that it's possible to put a regular S-Video plug into that 9-pin socket. So you may be right I'm still waiting for delivery, but when I finally have the card, I'll check this idea and post the result.
Regards
Marek
