Satellite P10 - 792 lock ups / crashes and battery

I used my P10 792 even since I bought it 3 years ago. S there was a decreasing battery box that appears on my screen (sometimes) say I should replace the badly inserted battery and restart my computer. If there is also a problem mouse touch pad. He touchpad doesn't respond well to orders while he was trying to move the pointer.

The battery alarm message usually comes with the dysfunction of the touchpad. I have to press ESC to restore the touchpad back to normality and close the application of process Btrychkr.exe under the menu CTRL + ALT + DELETE to make the gibbous Moon box to disappear.

But the main and most recently problem are blockages, especially when running programs that require a video grand advanced such as 3D games and DVDs. The screen freezes for several seconds, and then he comes back to life. This is sometimes followed by a sudden stop down.

Finally, when I try to turn it on, it doesn't even get to loading windows before it stops again, and so on. So I have to wait several minutes before pushing on the button again. Now, we have reached a critical situation where the computer won t last more than 10 minutes before its shutdown automatically without notice. There is no error message so I don't see what is the cause of the problem. (Battery? Overheating?)

It is also important to note that one of my friends with a series of P10 also had these same problems and finally had to buy a new one because the laptop has been just the hand. I fear me comes with the same situation of m.

How can I solve this problem?
I would really appreciate the help.
Thank you

Hello

You you use laptop for 3 years. You replace the battery during this 3 years?
Isn't it? I think it would be a good idea to replace the battery.
Usually after about 500 times of loading and unloading procedures the performance of the battery goes down and the life time decreases

Additional during those 3 years, the laptop needs to be cleaned. Fans suck dirt and dust and sometimes cooling modules cannot turn with maximum performance and can not cool the CPU and other devices.
Of course, the overheating could be a reason for your shutdown problems

Looks like you haven t much experience so I think someone with more experience (technician) is recommended to clean the notebooks cooling modules

    I don't understand why you're so angry. Visit the Toshiba download page and download all the drivers for Windows XP Home edition. If I remember well this laptop model is listed under the option ARCHIVE (type of product).

  • Satellite P10 - 792 HDD size instead of 60 GB 27 GB?

    Just unpacked and spent last week, install my P10-792 and now (...) I noticed that the C drive is only 27 GB while the drive itself is about 60 GB. There is a volume without the name of about the same size (27 GB).
    In the FAQ, I found a cure for the resizing partitions using the restore CD, but it probably means reinstalling all over the entire machine.
    Please help me. I would use all of the disk and not just half of it.

    Thank you, Stephan

    Hi Stephan,

    information to your new Latop, beautiful machine! :-)

    I think you have the factory installed OS on the machine and you might see in Solution Explorer that the C partition is ony 27 GB and space without a name like unformated?

    There are 2 solutions

    1. If you like partitioning with 2 x 27 GB you can click on the unpartitioned space and format it with the right mouse click-format. Then you have a "C" and "D" partition on your laptop

    2. the alternatives, it is that you want another partition, you must use the Toshiba Recovery CD and do a reinstall with the Expert Mode. There you can set the size and the number of partitions.
    or you install 3rd party software like Partition Magic and set up the partitions on a running windows system!

    Tip: There is a 60GB HDD built in, but you have only two partitions of 27 GB on your PC. The result of this is that not 54 GB but 60 GB are built. It is a property of Windows, a gigabyte, 1024 megabytes.

    Bye Bob

  • Satellite P10 792 impossible to install Modem

    Hello

    I installed Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 on my P10 792 instead of the Home edition standard. I downloaded all the latest drivers and everything has been recognized and works very well except for my modem. I see the "PCI modem" in the list of devices, in other devices marked with an exclamation point.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall but nothing helped. The Dungeon of modem appearing with the exclamation point. The modem does not appear in the phone and Modem settings in the control panel...

    I have an English version of XP. I tried the version Dutch and English of the latest version of the driver found on the internet - sm3111811h04.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you
    Philippe

    Hi keiberg,.

    If you perform a reinstallation always use your CD of tools & utilities Toshiba. Normally the same drivers as you can find on the internet. I don't know that it was your mistake.

    All the drivers on the internet are updated regularly and I can't imagine for me that there is something wrong.

    Good day.

  • Satellite P10-304: the problem writing and erasing CD - RW discs

    Some need help pls. I own a Toshiba satellite P10-304 with a combo player SD-R2412 installed. When I try to burn a new CD - RW, it does ok, but wouldn't allow no other written on the same CD in another session. The written CD - RW is then recognized as a CD-ROM. In addition, it is not possible to erase the cd - rw usinig this player. When I take the cd written for my laptop office of deletion, as it's done with success and my toshiba can then burn again. Any ideas on what to do?

    Additional information: laptop computer came bundled with "drag n dro cd" but I had to install Roxio and even tried the cd writing software provided with windows XP are done everything to nothing. I checked the 'advanced system info-error log' and the report there is 'the device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block'; I don't know what that means.

    Cheers.

    Nthunderbolt

    Hello

    In my opinion, it's probably caused by software. In my opinion, you should remove all burning software and verify all burning functions with windows option. After deleting some software, it can happen that, in the registry editor it is a lot of waste that will not be removed completely.

    In any case, delete all the burning software, and you can also try to remove the device from Device Manager DVD. Restart the laptop and DVD should be detected and installed correctly. Try using the option of engraving of Windows and if there is still problem writing once again please.

  • Satellite P10 824: card reader SD and IrDA doesn't work

    I have a tosiba Satellite P10 824 a I don't know why I can use Infra red and sd card reader.
    I installed the driver but I do not have nor why I can use.
    When an sd card I can't and I can't send anything via infra red.

    Hello

    Check the Device Manager.
    Are the mentioned devices properly recognized in Device Manager or there is some yellow exclamation points?
    How did you install the operating system? Train the Toshiba Recovery CD or manually? This issue has been published since the first day, or you have installed any 3rd party applications?

    As you can see there are a lot of questions because no one knows what you have done on your laptop. In my opinion the damaged registry entries might be a reason for these issues.

    I think that you should try to remove the SD card reader and Irda device after the Restart Manager again you should auto search devices.
    The drivers have to update and it should be possible to use the devices.

  • Satellite P10 804 is over heating and cutting

    My Satellite P10-0804 seems to be stopping down to often cause of overheating.

    I guess that there is a thermostat to control it.

    Is there away that I can fix this, without sending the unit?

    Changing the setting in the "Toshiba Power Management Utility" can improve things? With that, I don't see much possibility to change settings if the unit is plugged into current alternative.

    -In the "Advanced" tab, there is a selection for the "method Colling", default value 'Max Performance Mode' which is the best choice or can it be changed to 'Mid Performance Mode' or 'silent '?

    Hello

    No, you should not change some settings powersaver. Simply do the following:

    1. take a brush and a can with compressed air (which can be obtained in every electronics store)
    2. use the brush to clean the outer holes the cooling system for your processor
    3. use the bottle with compressed air to blow some air trough the cooling modules, I guess they must be really clobbed with dust
    4. If the product overheats again then go to a computer technician who is familiar with the mobile computing systems and let it clean the CPU cooling system correctly, including the fat CPU cooling

    That's all

  • Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) crashed and Linux does not load

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) which have worked well since 2007 both with preinstalled Windows and Ubuntu last.

    But... Yesterday, Firefox crashes, I thought, but after the restart it was not able to load Ubuntu desktop, comes from a command prompt.

    I tried to reinstall the driver and xserver with no luck.
    Tried to reinstall Ubuntu together, but it stops while loading of Ubuntu live.

    Thought maybe, a hard drive crash so I want to wipe the entire hard drive and so reinstalled Windows, which wouldn't load after installation. Changed the hard drive to a WD250GB, but always the same - stop loading live Ubuntu and Debian and Meego...

    Has a verified memory from the live USB of Ubuntu (before loading Ubuntu), no errors.
    I have an idea that maybe the graphics, but it has no errors or defects to display install screens - graphics.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Oh, I had Ubuntu while loading, try checking the hard drive and what makes some mistakes, why I thought it might be a hard drive problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What about another system? Windows?
    Can you start and install Windows system using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say what has caused this problem
    It may be related to no hardware, a part even if the HARD drive or memory error was not detected, one of these parties may malfunction
    Worst case its something wrong with the motherboard but it s only a hypothesis.
