Re: Satellite Pro 6000 hesitating behavior after having worked for a while

My SP6000 10 years old running Windows 98 starts and works fine, but very often after 10 minutes (more or less), it will start to answer 'hesitating', which is as well the mouse and the keyboard may take several seconds to answer each click or movement.
The machine do not crushed, and the fan continues to pass in and out. More generally, a normal behavior is restored after a restart, or sometimes it will return its own if left alone. The problem seems also worse if you have several windows open at the same time.

I am inclined to think that it may be related to overheating, with the central unit to stop a few seconds at a time, and then meet again for a second or two.

Unfortunately, I do not know if the problem has a story that I acquired antiques only recently.

Thanks for any ideas?

I put t know how long do you use Windows preinstalled, but I think that your laptop needs to be cleaned and you must install OS to have own stuff pre-installed.

Have you can be upgraded to RAM at maximum value? This isn't a bad idea. For this old laptop RAM modules are not expensive and more.

With a few words: I think your laptop needs overhaul.
What do you think?

  • 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 A10 CD Burning: after having burned the CD is empty

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 and my CD burner stopped burning. Someone at - it? I also had a problem earlier where he would burn only 1 disc immediately after startup. It says it burns and goes through all the motions, but in the end the drive has nothing about it. I use Maxell discs and have had no problem before using these. If the CD burner is broken it is possible to get a replacement and they are also easy to assemble.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is really possible that the drive is defective. Before Exchange you it the only thing, you can try is to check if there is some success if you use different empty media (producers) and burn it using a few different burning applications. I recommend you to use NERO software of engraving.

    Also be sure that the engraving option is enabled and not only option called simulation.

    Replacement should not be problematic. If I remember correctly from the drive is fixed with a screw and you can find it in the bottom corner near the drive itself.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 - pc wireless card only works in one slot

    According to the manual the two slots is normal PC card connectors so that the WLAN card should run in both slots.

    But why is it so important that map PC works in both slots?
    You have another PC card that you can test in the second slot?

  • Satellite Pro 6000 RAM upgrade problems

    Apologies for multiple - originally, I put this in the Satellite rather than the Satellite Pro series Forum.

    I have an old Satellite Pro 6000 that has 256 MB of RAM in it, and accordingly, as he tries harder sound, it is not the fastest machines.

    I want to increase the RAM to 1 GB, which I believe is the maximum and 2 sticks of memory of 512 MB PC133 CL3 3.3V, which I think should work fine.

    However, I tried to install either as a pair or separately, with the 256 MB of RAM, and when I put the memory in, the PC resolutely refuses to start. The lights of power lights, but it is only it works.

    I put the original 256 MB of RAM in the slot, and it works fine.

    I'm something wrong or missing something?

    Any help appreciated gratefully.

    Hello

    > Am I something wrong or missing something?
    Of course, you use the memory bad or is not compatible!

    Initialization not after an upgrade of memory is a common behavior if the modules are not compatible or do not work.

    You can upgrade the memory to 1024 MB (2x512MB) max and page Toshiba should run these modules:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  • 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: 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.

  • Updated by Satellite Pro 6000 with a DVD burner - technical question

    Hi all, I just bought a DVD burner that is adapted to the Bay of selection to replace the old DVD player...
    He came 'naked', so I thought I'd just disassemble the frame of the old drive and put it on the new...

    But: not the slightest Phillips screwdriver will integrate these screws; in fact, they look very special and I do not know how to remove...
    Should I have any instrument/tool special and if so, where do I get it? Maybe I'm too blonde...

    Someone here who can help?

    Thanks in advance! lionesse62

    Hello

    You need a special screwdriver to remove the module bay select (CD/DVD drive).
    A 2 mm screwdriver Phillips, a pilot of flat blade screw 4mm and a LHSTIX of 4mm screwdriver.

    I think you should visit a laptop computer technician if you n t have the right tool to remove these screws.

    However, if you want to remove the module bay select the Satellite Pro 6000 laptop then follow this instruction;

    (1) turn the computer
    (2) when the lock screw is in the locked position, remove the screws and fix it on the hole to keep her temporarily locking screws.
    (3) slide the lever and pull place the selectable bay module.

    After you remove the DVD rom, you need to remove the connector and the connector cover. The connector cover is fixed with screws of black 2M2x8 liaison.
    The frame is blocked with five super flat head white M2x3 screw.

    As I said, if you can not remove these screws and then ask a technician for help.

    Good bye

    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?

  • Change of CPU on Satellite Pro 6000

    Hello

    I just got back a Satellite of 6000 Pro with a broken RAM Socket. I wanted to put the P3M CPU in another Satellite Pro 6000 that currently contains only a Celeron. The physical Exchange was no problem, but after turning on the laptop, I can hear a permanent beep.

    So is there a switch or something else, I have to change?

    Welcome them

    Hello

    AFAIK if the laptop beeps it usually means that the motherboard is unable to get access to certain hardware devices. In your case, it could be the CPU.
    It's not easy to say why it happens. Maybe the CPU has a malfunction or you use unsupported CPU or it s something goes wrong during the installation of the CPU.

    Firstly used the dreaded IDE 1 # error will be encountered, but not panic, this can be overcome by asking the Technical Support CSEL-Changer Toshiba Software and this will change the master/slave setting of the drive.
