Questions about Satellite P10 554

Hello

I have 2 questions about my P10-554. I read on this forum but can't find anything that helps out me.

First of all:
When I try to turn the unit off after working, using even the closing of xp function or the power button, windows normally quit, but when it needs to turn off just reboot again. If I repeat the closing down directly after this restart, normally it turns off.
This problem occur only when I use the power supply in battery mode.
I can't say that to me...

Second:
I have a mini PCI Wlan card for my unit, works very well, but I wonder if it is possible to get the Wlan switch switch work whith it? Or is it only possible whith some special maps? It is not so important, but it would be nice to know if there is a trick or something to get the switch used.

Best regards

Hello

Regarding your first question;
I'm a bit confused of m are sure you n t use the restart option?
I never noticed anything like that on my laptop

Usually, if I use the Shut down option, I can choose between standby, hibernation, restart and shutdown. If I use the stop that the laptop turns off as it should.
Maybe it's time to s for a reinstallation of the OS?

On the second question.
The switch on the left side for laptop was designed and developed to pass on the WLan card antenna.
Usually, you should be able to use this switch and to toggle WLan card functionality

Don t understand why it should not work?  :|

    I have to wait about an hour and then I the starts again, but it works for a few minutes and stops again!

    Hello

    From your description, I think your device overheat and go down because he cannot be cooled properly. P 10 satellite is older and it's time to clean up. You can't imagine how much dust inside the unit you will find.

    I put t know how are you familiar with this, but if you have no experience don t do it alone.

  • Satellite P10 554 LAN wireless connection

    Hello people,

    I have a laptop Satellite P10 554. I'm not able to get the wireless LAN. I have a Netgear wireless modem and a Netgear USB wireless "receiver". I have configured the entire setup and switched 'on' switch wireless on the left side of the laptop. Nothing happened. The light on the left side on the laptop that shows the availability of the wireless network never radiated.

    I have installed and inserted into the mobile network.

    Please advise on how should I proceed to get the wireless LAN working.

    Thank you in advance.
    Matel

    Hello

    As far as I know that the Wireless LAN is optional on this unit. This means that the appliance has been delivered without wireless card, but it s can put the card in the laptop.
    Are you sure that your device has a wireless card? You can check in the Device Manager. In addition, must be on the wireless network by using the switch on the side of the laptop and the key combination FN + F8.

    Please check these options.

    Good bye

  • Windows 7 on Satellite P10 554, need drivers

    Hello
    I installed a new Windows 7 on my Satellite P10 554.
    Now I can not find some drivers for my device, in particular for the USB device,
    who stands out, if I use an external hard drive.
    In addition, I got an error code 28 for the base systemdevice (to 2 PCI bus) and
    the performances of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor', who is not the driver ACPI/CMP0101
    compatible with W7.
    What else can I do?

    Thanks for the reply

    Hallo Lupi

    I had Satellite P10 for the year 2003. So please don't get me wrong, but you have 6 years book, designed for Windows XP Home edition and now you ask you cannot find drivers for Win7.

    What you can do? Nothing. This oldie is not supported for Win7.
    Use the operating system that is supported and to be happy. If you want to use a more recent software I think it's time for the most recent material. ;)

    Satellite P10 is also really nice and absolutely reliable laptop.

  • Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

    I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
    It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
    It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
    (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
    (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

    I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

    Hello

    What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
    You are not able to burn or read the media?

    The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

    Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
    Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
    If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

    It will be useful.

  • Satellite P10 554 does not start

    Hello!

    First of all, sorry for my bad English

    The problem:

    I installed windows XP Professional on my Satellite P10 554.
    I bought it on ebay and the seller said that everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

    But after installing XP, it does not start!
    It is the boot screen with the blue line that moves. This line moves a little, that it stop and that all the time and nothing happens!
    I tried the same thing with XP home, and windows 2000, but it has the same problem!
    I really need this phone. I hope someone can help me!

    Christian

    > I bought it on eBay and the seller said that if everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

    You said that the test says it of ok. How did you test it?

    > It's the boot screen with the blue line that moves.

    You mean the OS bar which moves while loads the OS. Am I wrong?
    Hmm, if you have tested the laptop with Win XP and W2K then I guess that you have installed the two OS on this laptop and it was possible to install it?
    Am I wrong?

    Sorry to say but if the laptop is unable to load the operating system the hardware would be a malfunction.
    I think you should first check the memory modules, then the HARD drive. Maybe one of the modules does not work correctly or some bad sectors can cause the problem.

  • Satellite P10 554 turns off, can't start again, but the lights still burning

    My P10 554 stops after a few minutes. After that, I can't restart, but led lights are always on fire. When I'm waiting for a few minutes or a few hours, then I can restart my laptop once again, but it spans about one or two minutes and then stops himself again...

    I thought about a problem with the fan or something like that, but why the led still is on fire after stopping? What can I do?

    If the AC adapter is plugged in to the computer some LEDS are usually on. For example the battery LED lights up green when it s fully charged.
    However, it s not usual that the laptop stops after several minutes of race and for me it certainly looks like a hardware failure.

    The problem is just a common user like me and you is not usually able to fix or to locate the fault. You certainly need a help of a technician with a lot more experience.
    The guys from the ASP can run diagnostic tests and are able to find out what's wrong on the Board.

  • Problem update satellite P10 554 to XP Pro

    Hello

    got the P10 554, with Windows XP Home Edition. Since I have my own copy of XP Pro and need additional components, which are NOT part of the home ed., I tried to update.

    Works fine until the point where it says "Starting Windows". The progress bar runs out, the screen goes black and not more disk access hard and CD.

    Everyone runs into that as well, or is there a solution for this problem?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jürgen

    Hi, tried to run Windows in Mode safe?

  • Satellite P10 554 problem intel wireless 2200BG

    Hello

    I ve got a P10-554 and tried to install a mini-PCI Intel 2200BG card. the driver is correct installed but the work of won´t-hardware switch. I have could´t turn on the wireless card.

    in another P10 554 a 2100 b card work very well.

    Anyone know why?

    Hello

    It is possible that new generation cards cannot be activated by a wireless switch. I'm not sure that f happens only with Intel adapters. Please check in Device Manager if the card is recognized and installed correctly. If so try to establish a wireless connection.

    I'm sure it should work correctly.

  • Satellite P10 554: broken inverter and market

    Dear Group,

    in recent weeks, I have massive probs with my p10 554 (2 years +).
    The converter to display is broken and the display for the most part remains dark. No big problems so far, as the laptop is my secondary computer, not connected to a monitor. But: since this inverter quit working properly, I noticed, that the machine has problems starting...

    By pressing the button WE're now more often without any effect on the system, ways, it feeds on. DC current, battery and leds are working properly, the two are lit in green, the battery is fully charged and DC is good.

    I followed a little guide assistance procedures, but none of them has fixed the problem.

    Sometimes - I don't see any chronological rule in this behavior - the power on works, but when I pass the laptop turned off later, I couldn't immediately turn it back to the.

    Q: has the inverter broken some influence on the market, and if so, how can I bypass it? Or I have two problems here (a circuit feeding broke apart a broken inverter) and need to have some repair teacher.?

    Thanks for any advice,
    FIU

    Hello

    a broken inverter should not have any influence on turn on/off the laptop.
    This problem can have several causes. So I think the best way would be to leave the machine to be checked by a service technician.
    And by the way, you can only get a new inverter of a service partner.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P10 554: what does "removable devices" on average of start menu?

    Hello

    My DVD burner does not work, so I have no chance to install Windows XP from the recovery disks. I tried to boot from external DVD writer, but the device is not recognized. Similarly a bootable USB key.

    That means Toshiba with "removable devices"? Or I made a mistake?

    Thanks for your replies.

    Best regards
    Frank

    As far as I know Satellite P10 and P20 have removable optical drive. You can remove the CD/DVD drive and put it inside the floppy drive and use it as first boot device.

  • Different questions about Satellite L855

    Dear community of Toshiba...

    I bought a Toshiba laptop as for my study Mediadevelopment a year and half ago. I got Toshiba Satellite L855 edition.

    When I received my order, I was very happy with it and I knew that I would succeed on this nice unit programming.

    After 3 weeks of use, I already had a scratch right next to the camera. And I must admit I really handled the phone with care. I ordered a case of neck and he had with me in a laptop bag. Even when the lid is closed there is small scratches around my laptop and it started to worry about what would happen.

    While watching an episode of the game of Thrones. I noticed a red dot... just in the middle of the screen. And I don't want to be arrogant, but I have to say that it's not cool when you already have a failure of pixel using a laptop as about 1 month.

    I received an update of a driver of my DVD player tray. And toshiba TEMPRO told me there was a BLUERAY drive in my notebook... but this was not true... Just another point that disappointed me.

    I ordered an upgrade for Windows 8... So I was able to develop applications for Windows 8. It's a very nice OS BUT I can't use my brightness buttons yet more... The display goes just in black, and aint there is no way to fix it, but to restart my computer and that is very annoying when you are programming.

    The fan on my AMD card also gets really hot while doing nothing. I know how to check if there are a lot of processes running, but it heats up by simple same process (it's even my glass cool soda Cook until temperature hot lol!)

    And now also the reason why I ask for your support here, when I close the lid of my laptop. It closes smoothly... There is a crackling sound and the back cover looks like it rises while I close the lid.

    Now after all I lost a little hope in my notebook. And I repeat, that I really handled it with care... I don't even dare to walk with her while she is closed in my hand. But those things so much that makes me sad. Just because of I still need to study 3 years more and had to pay a lot of money for this... I'm sad that sooner or later things will just get worse...

    I therefore ask you guys, you people don't know what I can do?

    Kind regards

    PS: Sorry for my English!
    Jay

    Hi Jay

    In general the notebooks are not so sensitive devices so I put t know how all this can happen, I mean with scratches and clicking noise. It is logical that laptop may not always be as good as new.
    I handle my books carefully, too, but they are not in perfect condition more.
    Cooling fan: try to reduce the activity of fan cooling cooling method to change option.
    Control Panel > power options > change the power plan settings > power plan advanced options > Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method change for optimized battery
    This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

    > Then I ask you guys, people you know what I can do?
    It is not easy to give you the correct answer to this question. What you can try is to contact Toshiba service and ask for a tip. They should have experience with this, and they are in constant contact with Toshiba, so they should have enough information about the situation.

    By the way: several people have reported on this message Tempro. You should not be disappointed on this matter. It is an automatic procedure and such errors may occur.

  • A few questions about Satellite Pro P4600

    Hey ^ ^

    I have a few questions on my Satellite Pro 4600

    1. How do I remove the keyboard of an intern?

    2. How can I open the laptop, to add a pci card? or watsch the CPU?

    THX!

    Hello

    to remove the keyboard, simply remove the long plastic on top of the keyboard cover. Just take a flat blade screwdriver gently push the upper part where the F1 - F12 keys are under the plastic cover and the elevator that plastic cover.

    Why do you want to open your machine? You want to install an additional WIFI card or what? And what do you mean with "watsch" the CPU?

    Could you please clarify it?

  • Question about Satellite A200 - 13L

    Hallo,

    The specification of it is very good, but I need the old box with a white keyboard and a system of his best.

    Hello

    Sorry, but it is not easy to say what you need to do. You have your opinion and your own priorities. Inform you about all the models available and make a decision. Don't buy something if you're not 100% sure that you want it to be.

    For me design is very important, but the hardware is much more important to me. Make sure that the laptop has graphics card good, enough RAM and all that you have to work for every day (WLAN, BT, perhaps of the webcam and so on).
