Satellite Pro 4600 - problem IR

• Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 problems

  Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 is usually a large equipment once it works! I have bought in December 2001 + additional 2 year warranty. Used every day for a business purpose - mainly on a desk anchored to the Port Replicator or inside-out of the office with WiFi.

  Almost after a year I bought it - one of the memory locations died on the motherboard! A machine still worked OK - only on a slot with installed memory capacity! So the 256 MB of memory and motherboard have been replaced by September 2002.

  Then the hard drive was noise - has been replaced as a guarantee somewhere in October 2004. So I thought that it is her - I have now a few years without problem again!

  Yes - all of a sudden a few days ago, I closed the lid for a coffee brake and after that the machine woke up to a strange sleep - the screen flickered and a machine was muzzy! Like the previous night failures that occurred before that I thought that this restart will solve the problem! It s woke up without the support of the voice! And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always on - no matter if you switch the button on or off! If the service said that probably the motherboard has not once again!

  So, which brand and model to buy then?

  same thing with my nine M30 I bought last summer. I can't be able to turn off the WiFi keyboard functionality. the light is still on too.

• Satellite Pro 4600 battery recognition problem

  Hi all

  I have a strange problem with my Satellite pro 4600 (SP460E-03371-G3) laptop. I have the battery with the AC adapter unplugged, but the battery indicator turns on (no green, not orange). And the laptop does not start when I push the power button. It's like when the battery is discharged. When I plug in the power adapter, AC power light turns green, Notepad starts OK. And cams CIHI surprise: when I plug the AC everything works perfectly on battery power, but still no sign of the green or orange battery indicator. If I check the power state in Windows XP, the system indicates that the laptop works on current alternative, but the AC is disconnected. Why is this?

  Thank you

  Hello Ákos

  I'm sure that there are defects of electronic power to your laptop. As you can see electronic is confused and the battery is not recognized correctly.

  In my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and ask them what is the best way to solve this problem.

  (2) there is not any link showing option wirless card I can update and install the Device Manager.

  (3) I have dual boot windows 2000 and xp. In the two I tried to install the driver of his CD moose. But there was no requirement for the office and even in network and Device Manager.

  Please give me an urgent response.

  I have a similar problem. The text of presentation for the Satellite Pro 4600 says 'model of communication center Mobile with wireless built-in on all Intel® Pentium® III, LAN module card integrated 10/100 Ethernet NETWORK and international integrated V.90 data/fax modem'. Mine is a model of the Pentium III. Operating system is W2K fully patched.

  I used the interface NETWORK built-in Ethernet and modem V.90, but so far never had the opportunity to use wireless. The wireless on the left side switch produces a light. Should this model use a wireless PC card? If so, where would be a?

• Problems connecting to a Satellite Pro 4600 for network wireless home

  Hello
  My computer has a processor Athlon 64 x 2 4200 + and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS broadband router and connected with Virgin Media.

  My daughter gave me an old laptop a Satellite Pro 4600 with a 747 MHz Celeron processor, 384 MB of RAM and XP2 Pro has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adapter. I set up a Linksys Wireless - G Notebook Adapter with SRX (model No. WPC45GX), so that I could use around the House. However when I try to connect to the home network, although he "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect and get an error message - "Windows cannot connect to the selected network (my home network). The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available
  networks and try again. »

  I tried to connect with laptop computer in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, the two are shown and both work properly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on the two icons, they say that a network cable is unplugged, but I don't have a cable network.
  The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.

  I presume that the adapter works as it can 'see' wireless networks, I used Lynksys support to verify that all router and adapter settings are correct.
  My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network with no problems.

  Please can someone offer advice or assistance.

  for some reason, you need to turn off your wired connection (cable) and use the client of the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe just the problem that your system can not separate the two network connections and gets an error it s. You should also visit the site Web of Linksys and download the latest driver and the customer for the card, so you can make sure that the software is up to date.

  Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and the support center for any 'knowledge base documents' which could probably solve the problem.
  As your machine is really old and no one is using PCMCIA cards more, you may wait a long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the site from linksys for a support section. Maybe they could help you...

• Satellite Pro 4600 and WiFi configuration problem

  Got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, under WXP SP3. It s a P3 900 mhz with 256 RAM and it s a great laptop, but peut t seem to understand the Wi - Fi.
  It captures my router ok sky open a Wi - Fi connection, but it s the config, when I put the WEP key it says it is not compatible with WEP, WPA only s.

  I put the ssid for the router ok but it won t accept the key/passphrase in there it says s not long enough.
  Could someone point me in the direction of a guide of idiots for this configuration?
  Wi - Fi is built-in and it s a Toshiba mini PCI
  Thank you

  Hello

  For me the case sounds very clear;
  You can't put the encryption key just because the WEP key is not compatible / supported.

  I think you should use encryption that is supported by both parties; router and wireless network card

• Satellite Pro 4600 - stops during installation of operating system

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite pro 4600 that my son bought his first Fixer of computer.

  The laptop comes with the hard drive erased. The problem he is trying to install Windows 2000, the laptop comes with OEM.

  The computer starts up to the windows disk and loads all the files, but when the Windows installation starts the computer stops.

  We are trying to install the power adapter plugged in, and it seems that all the lights are either now or at least works.
  This laptop was announced as work, but with no OS installed. As this is the first that he bought, we have no spare parts to swap around.

  Guidance on what would be the most likely problem, or a good place to start looking would be greatly appreciated!

  First, I would try to clean the laptop with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans. You can get in at a computer retailer.

  As Akuma said, check the RAM with Memtest86 and also on your disk with the Drive Fitness Test: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

• Satellite Pro 4600 - very low picture on the screen

  Guys, I really need help.

  I picked up on old satellite pro 4600 eBay and have rebuilt the thing - everything works EXCEPT the screen - I get a very small image, even on the start screen.

  So far I have - changed the cable lcd - no effect. changed the Panel itself, no effect and inverter (4 times!).

  Any suggestions? Driver problem? Setting I missed somewhere? Motherboard problem?

  Hmmm. My first thought was the faulty FL inverter.
  Are you sure you used the right and compatible FL inverter? A connect it correctly?

  What about the keys FN + F6/F7? It allows to set the brightness to a higher level?

  Then maybe you should check for this possibility.

• Cannot read DVD on Satellite Pro 4600 movies

  Hello

  After a clean install of Win2K on Satellite Pro 4600 I am unable to play any DVD movie. I am able to access the data of the DVD discs. The error message is:

  "There is not Windows 2000 compatible compatible dvd decoder installed on this system."

  I was able to play DVDs when running Windows XP.

  I searched online and on these forums for an update of the software for my DVD player (model SD-C2402) but have been unable to find one. I should be grateful if you would be pointing in the right direction.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have good experiences with VLC media player. Try to use it.
  Back to your problem. I think you need to MPEG2decoder. Googled around and look for any W2K codec pack. After installing it, I'm sure that everything will work properly and you will be able to watch DVD movies.

  As I wrote already test VLC media player. It's really good.

  Hello

Is this a problem of attitude or the laptop needs to be repaired? Thank you very much for your answers!

• Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

  Hi all

  for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
  Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

  Thanks in advance: Bernie

  Hello

  The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
  PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
  PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
  PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
  KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

  It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
  Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.

• Resume the failed Satellite Pro 4600

  Hello

  I get a message "Press any key to resume failure continues" every time I powere to the top of my Satellite Pro 4600. It then remains on a white screen and I am unable to do anything. Someone at - it suggestions on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Check if the BIOS is set to RESUME (function that remember have been closed and continue on this same place).

  To do this: when the TOSHIBA logo is shown be very quickly press the ESC key a short time.
  You should get an error message and press F1 to enter BIOS. Search for Power-up mode (or something very similar). Set it to BOOT.

  If it is already set to BOOT, or it does not help, try pressing the reset button when the screen is empty as you say. You should find it on the, I think that, left side of the machine. Look closely on the sides. You should find a small hole.

  Good luck
