Preface
This maintenance manual describes how to perform hardware service maintenance for the
Toshiba Personal Computer Satellite P100 Series.
The procedures described in this manual are intended to help service technicians isolate
faulty Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) and replace them in the field.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important information to your
attention. Each of these messages will be italicized and identified as shown below.
DANGER: “Danger” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in death or
serious bodily injury, if the safety instruction is not observed.
WARNING: “Warning” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in bodily
injury, if the safety instruction is not observed.
CAUTION: “Caution” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in property
damage, if the safety instruction is not observed.
NOTE: “Note” contains general information that relates to your safe maintenance service.
Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service
technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety
precautions are adhered to strictly.
Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully
fastened, it could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause
overheating, smoke or fire.
If you replace the battery pack or RTC battery, be sure to use only the same model
battery or an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong
battery can cause the battery to explode.

The manual is divided into the following parts:
Chapter 1 Hardware Overview describes the Satellite P100 system unit and each
FRU.
Chapter 2 Troubleshooting Procedures explains how to diagnose and resolve
FRU problems.
Chapter 3 Test and Diagnostics describes how to perform test and diagnostic
operations for maintenance service.
Chapter 4 Replacement Procedures describes the removal and replacement of the
This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight terms and
operating procedures.
Acronyms
On the first appearance and whenever necessary for clarification acronyms are enclosed in
parentheses following their definition. For example:
Read Only Memory (ROM)
Keys
Keys are used in the text to describe many operations. The key top symbol as it appears on
the keyboard is printed in boldface type.
Key operation
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify such
operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus (+) sign. For example, Ctrl + Pause (Break) means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same time press Pause (Break). If
three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.
User input

1.8.2 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor. The power supply
microprocessor controls power supply and detects a full charge when the AC adaptor and
battery are connected to the computer.
θ Battery Charge
When the AC adapter is connected, normal charging is used while the system is
turned on and quick charge is used while the system is turned off. Refer to the
following Table 1-11.
Table 1-11 Time required for charges of main battery
Condition Charging Time
Power On Charge About 6 hours
Power Off Charge About 3 hours
Charge is stopped in the following cases.
1. The main battery is fully charged
2. The main battery is removed
3. Main battery or AC adapter voltage is abnormal
4. Charging current is abnormal
θ Data preservation time
When turning off the power in being charged fully, the preservation time is as
following Table 1-12.

2.2 Troubleshooting Flowchart
Use the flowchart in Figure 2-1 as a guide for determining which troubleshooting procedures
to execute. Before going through the flowchart steps, verify the following:
Ask him or her to enter the password if a password is registered.
Verify with the customer that Toshiba Windows is installed on the hard disk. Non-
Windows operating systems can cause the computer to malfunction.
Make sure all optional equipment is removed from the computer.
If the diagnostics program cannot detect an error, the problem may be intermittent. The Test
program should be executed several times to isolate the problem. Check the Log Utilities
function to confirm which diagnostic test detected an error(s), and then perform the
appropriate troubleshooting procedures as follows:
1. If an error is detected on the system test, memory test, display test, CD-ROM/DVD-
ROM test, expansion test, real timer test, sound test or Modem/LAN/Bluetooth
/IEEE1394 test, perform the System Board Troubleshooting Procedures in Section 2.4.
2. If an error is detected on the floppy disk test, perform the USB FDD Troubleshooting
Procedures in Section 2.5.
3. If an error is detected on the hard disk test, perform the HDD Troubleshooting
Procedures in Section 2.6.
4. If an error is found on the keyboard test (DIAGNOSTICS TEST) and pressed key
display test (ONLY ONE TEST), perform the Keyboard Troubleshooting Procedures
in Section 2.7.
5. If an error is found on the touch pad test (ONLY ONE TEST), perform the touch pad
Troubleshooting Procedures in Section 2.8.
6. If an error is detected on the display test, perform the Display Troubleshooting
Procedures in Section 2.9.
7. If an error is detected on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM test, perform the Optical Disk
Drive Troubleshooting Procedures in Section 2.10.
8. If an error is detected on the modem test, perform the Modem Troubleshooting
Procedures in Section 2.11.
9. If an error is detected on the LAN test, perform the LAN Troubleshooting Procedures
in Section 2.12.
10. If an error is detected on the wireless LAN test, perform the Wireless LAN
Troubleshooting Procedures in Section 2.13.
11. If an error is detected on the sound test, perform the Sound Troubleshooting
Procedures in Section 2.14.
12. If an error is detected on the VGA daughter card test, perform the VGA
Troubleshooting Procedures in Section 2.15.

2.3 Power Supply Troubleshooting
The power supply controller controls many functions and components. To determine if the
power supply is functioning properly, start with Procedure 1 and continue with the other
Procedures as instructed. The procedures described in this section are:
Lights green DC power is being sup plied from the AC adapter.
Blinks orange Power supply malfunction
Doesn’t light Any condition other than those above.
*1 When the power supply controller detects a malfunction, the DC IN icon blinks
orange. It shows an error code.
When the icon is blinking, perform the following procedure.
1. Remove the battery pack and the AC adapter.
2. Re-attach the battery pack and the AC adapter.
If the icon is still blinking after the operation above, check the followings:
*1
Check 1 If the DC IN icon blinks orange, go to Procedure 2.
Check 2 If the DC IN icon does not light, go to Procedure 3.
Check 3 If the battery icon does not light orange or green, go to Procedure 4.
The wiring diagram related to the power supply is shown below:
Any of the connectors may be disconnected. Perform Check 1.
Check 1 Make sure the AC adapter and the AC power cord is firmly plugged into the DC
IN socket (CN21/34) and wall outlet. If these cables are connected firmly, go to
Check 2.
