• Why Satellite Pro A300 does not start when you press the power button?

  Suddenly my new Satellite Pro A300 does not start correctly when you press the power button. The situation is the following: when I press the power button is displayed the opening of Toshiba (Leading Innovation) and the disappers image quickly. Then there is a black screen for about 30 seconds. There is a rectangular frame with the text Microsoft Corporation under. And nothing happens however long wait.

  In order to get with the trial starting I then shut down the computer by pressing the power button until the computer turns off. ("The hard way to close")
  Now, I press the power button shortly to turn on the computer. Then, the computer starts normally with the photo to open Toshiba and after a few seconds, I wonder to open the computer in safe mode or in normal mode. I now choose to open in normal mode and the computer opens normally and is ready to work.

  What should I do to get a normal departure procedure?

  When the laptop starts normally (after choosing normal mode) stop your laptop properly using START > shut down option. Next launch should be normal.

  When the OS is moving towards the low irregularly will always ask you how to start this new (secure or normal mode).
  The same thing happen on my Satellite A300.

• 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

• Satellite L20 - Orange LED flashes when I press the power button

  For 6 - 7 times and nothing happens after that, the battery is completely dead and the adapter works fine

  I measured the voltage on the map that powers the battery and found 3.33v on 2 of them, the third is 0 v and the last of them starts by 0 v and goes up to 10v and more

  Hello

  Strange, but it might be a hardware malfunction.
  But first, you should try to remove the battery and the AC adapter. Attendre wait up to an hour, then reconnect the two devices.

  If it doesn t work it could be a motherboard problem or something else. I recommend you contact a technician for laptop.

• Order of installation of drivers for Satellite Pro 4600 / Windows 2000

  Does anyone have the installation order of drivers for Satellite Pro 4600 (Windows 2000)? I already found the site to download the drivers ([http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=DE]), but I don't know in which order should I install them.

  Welcome,

  Floyd

  Hello

  There are not many drivers and utilities, so I recommend starting with Chip Set Utility, Display Driver, Driver Sound, infrared Driver, LAN Driver, Wireless Lan Driver, mouse driver.
  Then follow with common modules and energy-saving, etc.

• Not able to use WPA on a Satellite Pro 4600

  Hi guys,.
  I am not able to set up authentication WPA on my Satellite Pro 4600. This possibility is not in the network authentication drop-down list in the Properties dialog box (only open and shared).
  Is there a support for WPA in the bed of the laptop LAN card?
  Please help me!

  Map of the mini PCI WLAN driver version is: 7.16.0.189
  OS: Windows XP SP2
  WZC autostart

  Thank you
  merenyia

  Hello

  Since the machine is a little older, I Don t think that your wireless network card is able to do the WPA encryption.
  There should still be a way to get the WPA for you. You can switch to another card that is capable of WPA and perhaps other speeds as 54 M/bits or faster.
  You can find these cards, mini-pci, for example, prices very low @ Ebay or in some computer stores.

  PS: It would be interesting to know what wlan card is installed on your system. So please check your device manager and tell me what type of card you have.

• 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
  Akos Monostori

  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.

• Satellite Pro 4600 calibrate the battery?

  Hello

  My Satellite Pro 4600 battery is pretty weird. I always completely load to 100%. But when I use my laptop and it reached 60-65%, it goes down to 3% of the battery. Now, I was wondering if there is a way to calibrate the battery, so he sees it as a battery of 100% full again? Anyone who can help me?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey,.

  Tips for the battery charge.

  Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.

  Remove the battery.

  Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.

  Reinsert the battery.

  Plug the power adapter from the computer and check the wall outlet, ensuring that the connection is firm.

  When the PC is off, let the battery charge until the icon or the battery light turns green.

  Disconnect the power adapter.

  Remove the battery.

  Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery.

  Reconnect the AC adapter.

  Let the battery recharge until the battery status light turns green or the icon appears at 100%.

  Now your battery must be charged completely. Unplug the computer from the wall outlet and turn on the PC. You should notice more autonomy.

• Restrict HD for Satellite Pro 4600?

  Greetings!
  I thought of upgrading my Satellite Pro 4600 (PIII 800 MHz, 20 GB, 386 MB RAM) with a larger HD.

  My question is: what are the limits of this upgrade? Can I put in we'll say a 60 GB HDD? 80 GB? or is the satellite Pro 4600 limited to 20 or 40 GB?

  I am running Win XP, bios and other updates specific to the Toshiba computer are up-to-date.

  BTW: can I choose freely amongst external hard drive? Are there any size limits for these storage devices?

  (The satellite Pro 4600 is a robust small snowman isn't?) I pulled a joke with a colleague: "Hey, I got an apartment yesterday when driving in the countryside. The road was all mud and I had to use my Toshiba under the jack! ("He thought me :)...).

  /Wade

  Hey,.

  Toshiba has a HDD 40 gig for the model, but I'm not really sure if you can upgrade the model 60 or 80 GB

• Satellite Pro 4600: I want to upgarde the RAM

  I want to upgarde the RAM on my satellite pro 4600. It currently has 128 MB of RAM.
  Anyone know what kind of memory card should I buy and how to install it?
  Should what size I go?
  I've been in the PC World and they weren't much help.
  Any ideas / information gratefully received.
  See you soon,.
  Bob.

  Hi Bob,

  The following link will take you to a page containing all relevant information on memeory upgrades for your 4600 (including part numbers.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

  I think that your device has two memory slots, and I assume that you currently have a home in use with 128 MB of RAM installed (the 4600 had 64 MB or 128 MB).

  RAM modules are available in sizes 64 MB, 128 MB and 256 MB.

  The maximum that you can install is 512 MB (i.e. 2 X 256 MB modules. The amount that you need will depend greatly on what applications run you as well as what operating system, but the usual recommendation is a minimum of 512 MB for windows XP (at least for the earlier OS).

  The RAM modules are normally accessed from the bottom of the unit. Normally, there is a cover with 2 or more screws. Check you manual for the exact location on your device.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 4600 - unable to connect to the wireless network

  Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite pro 4600 model # Ps460C-04NVX
  The problem is with the PA3070U-1MPC wireless adapter
  I see my network in a wireless network with excellent signal, but it does not connect

  I have a fresh install of win xp sp3. I don't have original driver cd.

  Can someone help me please? Thank you

  Hello

  As Akuma suggested you should ensure that you are using the latest driver WLAN on Toshiba website for your laptop.
  I founded your model on Toshiba Canada website: http://support.toshiba.ca

  Your network configuration is not kwon to me, but you should check the TCP/IP settings. If you have DHCP do you get an IP address from the router? You can check this in the start menu > run > cmd > ipconfig/all

  If you use a 3rd party firewall, you must disable.

  Good bye

• 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
