• 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.

• Satellite Pro 4600: BSOD when I use the PCMCIA of Vodafone card

  I want to use UMTS on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. I got a card PCMCIA of Vodafone and installed with all updates.

  But if I want to use UMTS, and that means launching the application and connect to Vodafone, Windows stops with a blue screen:
  DRIVER_IRQL_not_less_or_equal STOP 0 x 0... D1, 0 X 0... 00, 0 x 0... 02, 0 x 0... 00, 0 x 0... 00.

  I think that the assignment of IRQS is not so good: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7151/toshibamw0.jpg

  Hello

  Have you checked if this happens with every PCMCIA card?
  I noticed that the Vodafone card causes BSOD on some portable computers with CPU P4 s and activated the hyper-threading technology.

  But there is also a problem with the firmware card Vodafone.
  An update of the firmware might help.

• Re: Satellite PRO 4600 and WLAN driver

  My old Satellite Pro 4600 connects with networks wireless unsecured very well but has a problem with WEP - Gets an error message immediately to connect command, never reaches the authentication dialog.

  I would try to update the drivers of wifi card, but where can I find them? This site does not recognize not my serial number.

  Can someone please?

  Thank you.

  -Kari-

  This along with the serial number reorganization probably works with new laptops only.

• 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

  Good bye

Yesterday, that I took it out to connect to TV and see what data (especially photos), we had on what I was able to backup to an external drive. However, it doesn't start. I only see one tiny bit of the message displayed: "* bad ' and on the next line"check knew. "

  I tried to boot with the disk support, but it does not work. By pressing Fn + F5 does not control the settings of the monitor with her in this State, I can't see the full mesdage. I'd rather not use the recovery and the Configuration Builder CD because I want to see my files...

  Any ideas?

• Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

  (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

  Hello John

  Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
  My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

  What do you think?

• 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

• Satellite Pro 4600: how upgrade to Windows XP?

  Hello
  Someone gave me an old Satellite Pro 4600 which works very well with Windows Millennium, but this person lost the Toshiba CD with drivers and utilities. I can't find anything about Toshiba hard disk.
  Is it possible to upgrade to WIndows XP? I have the Windows XP Pro CD, but nothing for the drivers of Toshiba.

  Of course you can improve it to Windows XP Home edition.

  I checked the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and it has listed many drivers of Windows XP Home edition.

  You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Playing DVDs on Satellite Pro 4600

  Hi - I installed a dvd player for my satellite pro 4600. When I play a dvd movie on my laptop it seems to be very out of sync and "stuttering". can anyone offer advice to help me read DVDs without problem.

  Hi Tommy

  Check please, processes running in the background. If there are some not necessarily ongoing process, it may be responsible for the lower speed of the processor. It may be a virus scan application that analyzes the HARD drive permanently and can be the reason of "stutter" picture on your screen.

• PC133 is suitable for Satellite Pro 4600 memory upgrade?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for an extra 256 MB memory module for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. The specs say one module of memory PC100 is necessary, but I was wondering if the PC133 modules would work as well. If so, are there problems with the mixture of the modules (PC100 and PC133)?

  Thank you for your attention.

  According to the information on the site of very useful memory module, it should be possible to use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules.

  I found this info on this site:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

  In addition I don't recommend mixing the different modules. To my knowledge the lower speed module will decrease the performance of the memory. The two modules will work with the operation of the lower module.

• 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.
