• Damaged BIOS 1 - Satellite Pro 6000 block

  Hi all

  I bought a laptop, a Satellite Pro 6000, but after a few weeks, he refused to start and gave me the bios message 1 damaged block.

  I downloaded the update to bios on the toshiba site, but it does not work.
  I have an external floppydisc. When I put the .exe to upgrade the bios on a floppy disk and turn on the laptop with the ~ button, I get the message "ready for the update of the bios, place the update disk and press any key when ready."
  I can hear the disk is searched, but nothing happened.

  How do I update the bios or is there something else wrong?
  Any help would be appreciated!

  In my opinion with the BIOS update you can't do anything wrong.
  If you BIOS, update by following the procedure described in the document FAQ Toshiba and the BIOS update can not be done properly, I'm afraid there is a problem with the BIOS chip and it may be defective.

  I can't say for sure, but if the BIOS chip is damaged, then you have a big problem.

• Satellite Pro 6000 - how can I update the BIOS?

  Hi all

  I have the problem that my laptop does not start 9 of 10 times with the message: * block 1 BIOS is damaged, call your service man.

  I want to update BIOS but for the Satellite Pro 6000 I can only find an update the BIOS from Windows. But my laptop does not start! Rarely the machine starts, but when I try to update the BIOS, I get the message that I already have the latest version of the BIOS

  My questions:
  * Is there a BIOS update file that is a BIOS floppy? (for example the Satellite Pro 6100 has 2 BIOS files, 1 Windows and 1 making a floppy disk)
  * Is it possible to update the BIOS with the same version of Windows?

  Or perhaps there is another solution for this problem? Has no need to update my BIOS?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I agree with Luke.
  The rom Bios module seems to be damage.
  Either it must be replaced or flashed again.

  But you won't be able to do that! The update of the Bios on the Toshiba page focuses on winning and you will not be able to update if the windows are not running.

  You last chance is an ASP that could check the BIOS ROM.
  As I said, most high, maybe new reflash module Rom help but cela can be answered simply by an ASP technician who checked this.

• Satellite Pro 6000 - new RAM does not work

  Hi all

  New to this forum sorry if this was asked before, I did a search but could not find anything so here goes.

  I just bought a new RAM for my Satellite Pro 6000. When I install it nothing happens the laptop won't boot. If I put the old stick in no problem. The ram I bought is unb 512 MB PC133 CL3 and old RAM 256 MB PC133s. I think little small to read with these old eyes.

  I was told I might need an update of the BIOS but cannot find one for my laptop under 1.4 for the moment.
  Any help would be thank Lindsey

  I think that the new RAM is not compatible with the motherboard or laptop.

  The manufacturing of the new RAM you said does not for me so I would buy an another RAM, such as Kingston. Kingston makes high quality RAM and many users here buy Kingston RAM to upgrade its RAM.

  By the way: do you use the RAM or only the new? Normally, if you use two memory modules live, you must use it with the same specifications.

  The update of the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site, but this doesn t affect the compatibility of Aries.

• Satellite Pro 6000: Windows XP installation problem

  Win98SE works well on my Satellite Pro 6000. I put XP on it.
  During commissioning, I see the logo "windows XP pro. But after loading XP, I have no picture.

  Save mode then also does not work, I can't see anything.
  What I've done wrong? It seems that the video driver is missing?
  With the recovery cd is everything works again. (win98se)

  Someone at - it solution to put XP on this laptop?
  Gr. R.

  Hello

  In my opinion, there should be no problem with the use of Windows XP on this unit.
  As far as I know the laptop came with WinXp pro, W2k and Win98SE.
  In this case, all required drivers are available and must be installed in the correct order.
  I assume that the installation and the installation procedure has been authorized. Did you install it on a second partition? You format the HDD to NTFS?

• Satellite Pro 6000 and Windows Vista

  I bought a Satellite Pro 6000 and I want to put Windows Vista on it. I did an Upgrade Advisor and I was told that this graphics card will not work. Is this true?

  Thanks, Nick

  I'm afraid that's true. Satellite Pro 6000 is old enough for laptop and it will not supported in Vista. Install Windows XP Home edition and enjoy your life.

• What are Satellite Pro 6000-compatible DVD - RW drives

  Hello

  Can someone tell me which dvd rw is compatible with the satellite pro 6000?

  Hello

  It is always difficult to find information on compatible drives due to different master / slave and c - salt settings.
  In my knowledge don Toshiba user manuals t provide such information. OK, I put t know if all don t user manual provide this, but I've found this info in my user manual.

  However. I studied a little someone suggested that the Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd recorder is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.
  I found this on a very popular online auctioneers ;)

• Satellite Pro 6000: display or graphics card problem

  Hello
  I don't have a model satellite pro 6000. PS600E-01NYE-FR
  1 GHz P3, 20 GB HDD, wireless bluetooth not running XP

  I understand that it is an old laptop but had been treated with great care because I got it.
  My problem is the following;

  Startup of the laptop is a route very well, but for some reason together and after no set amount of time the display fails
  a wot is visible on-screen is hundreds of tiny colored blocks, sometimes random horizontal lines
  but nothing is readable, at all.

  I tried to run a yellow one also using the video output external monitor, all appear the same.
  a computer display (although I can't check it out) to freeze.

  I replaced the heatsink fan as a precaution (using the new dough)
  the only solution I can find is replaced the ram with
  2 x 256 MB Sync 133 mHz module Samsung. This could be the problem or can anyone shed some light on this for me.

  Thanks in advance
  Display Toshiba SP6000 (?) Problem

  I am not a technician, but I assume that there is probably a problem with the video card. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You should contact the service and make them run tests to verify the functionality of the video card. If the card is faulty, just replacement will help.

• How can I get a hard copy of a manual for Satellite Pro 6000?

  Hello Forum users

  My brother and I bought my father (at age 81) a Satellite Pro 6000 model PS600E-20EE1-EN on E - Bay for Christmas. There is unfortunately no manual with the laptop. I'm in Australia and my father's in the United Kingdom and he asked me to help to get your hands on a paper manual.

  As I don't know anything about Toshiba laptops or point of sale UK, I was wondering if someone could help. I tried for an hour on the net but could not find a manual to download, which seems to correspond to the above specifications. I guess I could make a phone call international to support the customer in the United Kingdom, but thought I'd try here everything first. My dad would really like a paper, in order to download manual is second best option.

  All the tracks were greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• The maximum size of HDD for Satellite Pro 6000?

  Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB hard drive, but it is shaped, and it stops at the instalation of Windows XP Pro.

  Is there a size limit of HD?

  Thank you
  Ronaldo

  Hello

  It stops without any error message? If this isn't the case, then try another copy of Windows XP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldn´t have problems with this drive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also got a 60 GB Toshiba HARD drive installed. It worked like a charm, so I can't imagine that the hard drive could be the problem.

  See you soon
