• WLAN for Satellite Pro 4600

  Hello

  I installed the recovery disk (Windows 2000) for my Satellite Pro 4600 but WIFI could not be started.
  The software "Toshiba Wireless LAN Client Manager" says that there is no wireless network card-driver.
  I do not see a "Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card", only a "Intel (r) PRO/100VE Network Connection" to the hardware Manager card. But there is also a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURER" - device. The WLAN driver does not fit.
  The Notebookhardware has not been changed then what is it?

  Please help me fix this problem.

  Thank you
  Stefan

  Hello

  If you use original recovery CD for the installation of the OS (SP4600 only) all hardware components must be installed correctly. Before we do that any external devices should be deleted (USB keys, printer or PCMCIA card). If the wireless card is displayed correctly under NICs without yellow exclamation, I guess that the wireless network card is installed correctly.

  Driver Toshiba designed for WLAN should be used for INTEL adapters. I really can't understand why you use the same driver for the PCMCIA unknown device.

  In my opinion, you should check the download from Toshiba site and try reinstalling the chipset utility. Please don t forget to disable the WLAN Windows option if you want to use the WLAN client.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

  16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
  He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

  I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
  Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

  Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
  Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

  I can get one? Any ideas?

  Hello

  First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
  This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
  This could lead to performance degradation.

  In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

  You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.
  Such spays you can buy computer retailer.

• Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

  I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
  Thanks in advance
  Andrea

  Hello Andrea,

  normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

  If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

  Win2000:

  Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

  The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
  Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!

  Hello

  The 2 drivers in the download section do not work. Everest shows me that there is no Audio Windows (service started) and Intel 82801BAM ICH2-M - AC 97 Audio Controller [B-2] PCI.
  No driver is now installed.

  Any ideas?

  Hi stanbulino,

  Have you installed SP3 before installing the audio driver?

  I n t have Satellite Pro 4600 so I can t say much about it, but you need to install the first chipset driver, then the audio driver.

  Also, make sure that the Windows Audio Service is started.

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)

  Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

  Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the

• Satellite Pro 4600: Win2k with SP4 - cooler run all the time

  Hello

  last week, I bought a used Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 PIII, 1 GHz, 512 GB of Ram, WIFI and DVD burner. Great machine so far.

  After that I changed the FAT32 file system to NTFS and reinstalled Win2K/SP4 cooler runs all the time.

  TaskManager says that "THOT_KEY.exe" uses up 99% of the CPU power. Disabling this service reduces the power of the processor and the cooler was quite, BUT didn't really helped - lots of keys does not work.

  I ran a few utilities to disinfect as Kaspersky, NOD32 etc. to ensure that Ia´ve not taken some malware.
  Should I try a bios update or change some settings?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  AFAIK the THOT_KEY.exe belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that controls the various key functions.
  If you disable this service, you will not be able to use the FN keys more.
  I m not 100% sure why this service uses 99% of CPU performance, but perhaps that it s not completely compatible with the W2K service packs. Where did you download this utility? I found it on the page of Toshiba Europe!

  In my opinion, you should try to reinstall the system again. This is probably the key!

  Good luck
