  Hello

  No, I don't think that it is more risky to have the upgrade of the Bios from windows then the traditional way.
  I found this info in the Toshiba document that describes the procedures to update the BIOS:

  For the current offers in the range of Toshiba laptops two different BIOS update procedures.

  1 Windows base update: BIOS is updated to Windows.
  2. traditional update: BIOS is updated using a floppy disk or a CD-ROM when starting.

  We recommend that you update the BIOS from Windows.

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card upgrade/replacement

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4 - m 2.0 30 GB and the graphics card is dead. I love this laptop.

  He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

  I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

  Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

  See you soon

  Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

  The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro 6100 memory upgrade

  I don't have a model of toshiba satellite pro 6100: PS610L-04NVN of Singapore and it currently has 256 MB of pc2100 memory installed and I am wanting to install another 256 so I have 512, but now I would like to know:

  1. If I get the memory of a vendor of kingston, it'll work with this laptop, it is has 2 different types of memory, because there KTT3311 (333 mhz) & KTT3614 (266 mhz)?

  Hello

  The memory module manufacturers are not very important. But of course the modules of memory "no name" performance not as good as other modules such as Toshiba or Kingston.
  Module properties are very important. This unit uses PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.
  I found compatible modules:

  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  If you use the same modules and only the speed is different so the laptop will use support at reduced speed.
  In your case a module supports and other at 266 MHz 333 MHz. The laptop will support at 266 MhZ.

• A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
  I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

  Now my questions:
  1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
  2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
  3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

  I thank very you much in advance!
  Lukas

  Hi Lukas

  The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
  This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
  I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

  As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
  Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

  Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

  By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

  I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
  Any ideas?
  Concerning
  Phil

  Hello

  Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
  In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
  The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - after updating the BIOS, it does not

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my old of Satellite Pro 6100.

  I started to upgrade the Bios via download from Toshiba (using WIN) site - OK downloaded zip files and installed, machine then stops. Problem, it does not restart - it's so now I have a laptop 'death' that is not responding to any key I tried.

  Any suggestions of resuscitation?

  Already I've updated from XP to SP2.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello

  It sounds like that the BIOS update has failed and your laptop can start t again. But try this workaround:
  Remove the AC adapter and the battery and then wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn t work I think that the motherboard needs to be replaced or you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can reflash the ROM module
  But maybe you can find a motherboard of second hand cheap on eBay

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 6100 has no Wlan

  Installed xp on a Satellite Pro 6100 and it has no wireless network adapter in the Device Manager to all, and it does not appear in "Found new hardware" or whatever it is.
  I downloaded the drivers, but I can't put anywhere.

  Remember that the wireless card is an option on this laptop.
  This means that some Pro 6100 was delivered with the WLan card and some does not support the minPCI wireless network card!

  If the WLan card is not listed in the Manager of devices (or as unknown under network adapters device) then the laptop was not equipped of the WLan card and so you cannot use the WLan.

  Would appreciate some advice or solutions like like the laptop and not really wanted to get a new one at the moment.

  Update the BIOS and set the default values.

  You could try reinstalling the common Modules for Toshiba and energy savings.

  If all else fails, there is the opportunity to back up your data and run recovery. If it happens again on a new installation of Windows, it may be a hardware problem.

• Satellite Pro 6100 cannot get my GyroTransport new 'air mouse' to work

  Satellite Pro 6100 running XP Professional with SP3 and all updates as of 10/24/08.
  BAUGHT a new mouse made by Gyration GyroTransport air, but it won't work on my laptop.
  Tried in several other computers with the same OS and it works very well. In fact as a teacher, I recommend one of these brilliant sound devices.

  I tried all settings via the control panel and can not work on why it won't work.
  The laptop recognizes the name of it when its plugged in but the States, he has a problem. The dongle USB/receiver with a memory stick with some additional software on this subject, but the laptop does not regognise the memorystick at all. He acknowledges that other memory stick no problem.
  That technician school COMPUTER looked at it and can't get by either.

  It is usually on the spot.
  Any body out there of suggestions?

  This mouse works on some laptops newer with USB 2.0 ports?

  One last thing: If you use some additional hardware to help apply the manufacturer's support. Computer laptop manufacturer doesn't provide support for certain third party materials.
  What Thompson says about this problem?

• Satellite Pro 6100 turns itself on a

  Hello

  I have laptop Satellite Pro 6100 who recently had the idea of turning on. It may be ok for 30secs or 3 hours.

  Any ideas if there are common faults with this model or if it is difficult to fix. Also im going to sell it fixed or not with a canon printer.

  No idea how much it is worth.

  Thank you

  Common faults? Hey Buddy this series is an oldie and to me, it looks like a problem that occurs because of the long duration of use.

  Have you tried to reinstall the OS? This should be the first step!
  He must know if its software or a hardware issue!

  If the same will occur after the installation of the new operating system then the problem might be related to overheating.
  Could the laptop shuts down automatically due to a temperature inside the laptop. Maybe a debris and dust affect the butcher of modules cooling, fans and, therefore, the machine cannot be properly cooled.
  In this case, you must clean the fans.

  However the RAM a malfunction could cause the problem too, so as you can see s not easy to say what s wrong

• Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

  On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

  I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

  The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

  It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

  Hi André,.

  You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

  I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(
