New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
I reinstalled the latest drivers
Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

Hello Martin

This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
What do you think of this?

    Hi Chuck,

    It seems that you have a 32-bit operating system installed and Premiere Pro is not a 32-bit application. This seems to be a problem in the creative cloud desktop application.

  • 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!

    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 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

  • Need help with the upgrade of the WLAN on Satellite Pro 6100 minipci card

    Hello everyone, I desperately tried to update my WIRELESS card on my laptop SP6100, since it was delivered with a card minipci wifi-b, which is not fast enough today. s standards.

    Each piece of the Toshiba official documentation mention the SP6100 has a mini-PCI type 3a slot, so can accommodate two minipci card a type 3a and 3B wifi.
    But unfortunately for me, I discovered the hard way that it is absolutely NOT the case - I was put back by a fortune by buying costs for a type3 intel minipci wifi card, which does NOT at all on the laptop.

    I spent an hour in unnecessary calls to the customer service from Toshiba, that I had to convince PCMCIA certainly isn't the same as miniPCI, and Mini - PCI cards ARE CERTAINLY replaceable by the user. She insisted that she could not be changed by the user of the system, but by toshiba themselves.

    Could someone please please advise me on the type of wifi card that are built with the SP6100 laptops? I think is it AGERE brand, in the form of WLAN minipci card. I know that it IS certainly NOT miniPCI type 3.

    Help, please! Thank you.
    And besides, every place that I tried so far appears only sell type3 miniPCI cards,
    Other types of Mini-PCI cards are available to retail customers?

    Infinite thanks!

    Hello

    You must understand that your model of laptop is quite old and right now the market wasn't available standard b. I'm pretty skeptical that you will be able to use the standard WLAN with G maps due to compatibility issues. On this forum, I founded several threads that people write about the problems of upgrading older models of laptops with the new wireless network cards.

    In my opinion the best solution for you is to use a PCMCIA WLAN card. The installation should be easy and you can use the wireless network with faster data transfer adapter.

  • Satellite Pro U200: WLan Hotkey Fn + F8 does not

    I can't the keyboard shortcut (Fn + F8) working on the Satellite Pro U200 wireless. It worked before, but after that I reinstalled the system and drivers, it no longer works. Any other combination Fn + FX work very well.

    If the wirelles (on the right side of the laptop) switch is off and you press Fn + F8, the system displays the following message: "wireless communication is disabled. Please activate the wireless communication switch. "If the wireless switch is enabled and you press Fn + F8, nothing happens (whereas before I was able to activate bluetooth and WiFi card and turn off).

    I don't know, but I suspect that the keyboard shortcut no longer works after update BIOS version 1.2 to version 1.3, but I can't confirm this, because I can't downgrade the BIOS and I reinstalled the system, shortly after the update of the BIOS. Do you have any ideas please?

    Thank you for your help,

    Jiri

    Hello

    It has worked before, because you used the preinstalled recovery image that contains all the necessary tools and utilities. If you install own OS please consult document instructions facilities and check if software list is missing. You can also use the Tools & Utilities CD and install all stuff on the left. This way you will have perfect configured unit.

    Anyway, check it please if you forgot to install Wireless Hotkey V2.0.0.6.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L450: Wireless card missing or did not exist

    Hello, pls I need help

    my lap is toshiba satellite pro L450 suddenly I don't see the wireless card I check the bios and find this option is turned on also update the bios and the problem still exists and there is no card in Device Manager
    the light wireless always off I do not know what happened? and the function keys Fn + F8 doesnot work I install add package and this doesnot solve the problem

    My guess is that just failed your wireless hardware.

    Windows does not display the device driver if it does not find the hardware.

    See this thread where I make various suggestions and tips:

    Probably the best thing to do is to buy a USB Wireless Lan.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: error message - cooling fan does not work

    Hello
    I have a SP6100 and it keeps giving me an error message about the cooling fan does not. Then he tells me to stop immediately and runs very slowly. The fan come on, but after three or four short bursts it stops and the message appears.
    Is it a mechanical problem with the fan? I took out the radiator and the fan, and it was clean and not sticky.
    What is a system problem? The BIOS has recently been updated.
    Should I just invest in a new cooling unit and if so where would I get one?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) because it can test your device and can do a diagnostic test.
    You can be sure that the laptop will be repaired correctly 100%.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - relocation after Vista, I can not scrolling on the touchpad

    I could scroll with my touchpad moving my finger from right above on the right down on the touch pad, on the first installation of Vista on my A300D-161
    Now, I reinstalled Vista and I installed the utility, but it is not an option for scrolling.

    How / what now?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Do you have what utility installed?

    You must install the driver for the touchpad on the Toshiba site. After that, go to control panel > mouse > Device Settings > settings. Here, you can enable virtual scrolling.

  • 2 GB card SD not recognized in Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    I got a new 2 GB SD card passenger high speed. When I insert into the slot of my Satellite Pro 6100 SD card, I see in the list of the Explorer, the new drive, but when I click it, it says: "Please insert card".

    The card works fine in my Pocket PC.

    What can I do? What is the size limit of card for the SD-Card-Reader inbuild?

    Any help is appreciated!
    Thank you!

    At the point where Satellite Pro has been offered, there was no 2 GB SD card and card reader has been tested with available maps only. If you're lucky, 1 GB card can be readable.

    I think you this card works fine in the other device. There is absolutely no problem with the card itself but old material or even driver for the card reader.

    Maybe in the next few days, someone will point out what card can be used with SP 6100.

  • Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

    I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
    I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
    Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
    I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance

    Neil

    It should work!

    The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

    3 things you can do:
    At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
    If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

    If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

    If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.
