• Satellite Pro 6100 USB XP SP2 remove USB device after suspend

  I have a Pro Satellite XpPro 6100 running.
  I have a problem since I installed SP2 of XP in that USB falls when the computer wakes from sleep.

  The computer is up there, but I can reproduce this with SP2 only. Fortunately, I did a Norton Ghost and I restored the status of versions prior to SP2 for now.

  It does not matter what is connected to the USB port, or which port it's plugged. Out of sleep causes a ToolTip message in the taskbar on an icon that represents the USB port - and the message says 'USB device not recognized '.
  I can't find any help on the microsoft site, nor on the discussion group. I am at a loss as elsewhere where I can watch.

  Thanks in advance for any comments.

  Hello

  I put t know what USB device you use, but it is known to me that some external devices like DVD-ROM doesn t support the standby or hibernation. Try to remove the unit from the USB port and plug it back. I'm sure it should work again.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 6100 and "Toshiba Power Saver.

  Hello!

  Is this OK to uninstall the saving of a SP6100 v5.04 as it doesn't seem to work properly or at all?

  I already check and change the BIOS v1.90 also accordingly power settings, but the machine still never power off of the hard drive and will go to standby sleep.

  The only things kind of work are the screensaver and power of the large screen, but very rarely according to the time where the settings...

  Best regards

  Hello Pete

  I m wondering really the Power Saver doesn t work well on your laptop. This tool is one of the best tools designed Toshiba and it is very useful if you want to optimize laptop power consumption.

  I don't really know what the problem is here, but if you are not satisfied you can remove it from the system or simply use different power plan in power options properties.
  Maybe you should try to reinstall energy saver.

  Have you noticed another problem with your SP 6100?

• Satellite Pro 6100 and restore plus CD

  Hey everybody

  first of all, thx for the reading of this and any imput or help given.
  My problem is that I can't seem to format and install a new operating system without restore plus CD, I is no longer the CD and cannot find my way around it.

  Is there a way to bypass the restoration more protocal?

  thx a lot :)

  I think you mean the Toshiba recovery disc. Is this good?

  Well, the recovery disk can be ordered from an authorized service if you need a new. On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest.

  But you can also install the laptop with the drive of Microsoft. It would take a little more time because you need to download and install each driver for your laptop.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - battery icon indicates 0% and courier mouse disappears

  Hi all

  I'm new to this so hope I'm posting in the right place.

  I have the laptop above Satellite Pro 6100 and am having some problems that I hope that you guys may be able to help me with.

  The first problem is that the battery is fully charged, but the icon on the screen says 0%.
  He fled feeding okay and if you disconnect battery lasts for all time and a half.
  If I try to defrag it does not have enough power?
  So I have to defrag in safe mode.

  The other problem is that the mouse disappears off the coast of the right side of my screen and it takes forever to find him!

  Would appreciate some advice or solutions like like the laptop and not really wanted to get a new one at the moment.

  Oh am running windows at home.
  Thanks in advance.

  Update the BIOS and set the default values.

  You could try reinstalling the common Modules for Toshiba and energy savings.

  If all else fails, there is the opportunity to back up your data and run recovery. If it happens again on a new installation of Windows, it may be a hardware problem.

• Satellite Pro 6100-> DVD playback is OK, but can not read CD

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 and the reader of CD/DVD SD-C2502 on winxp sp2.
  The drive did not read any CD/DVD at the outset.
  After a DVD lens cleaner, it plays DVDs, but the Player cannot read any CD incl. music CD

  The error is 'windows cannot read the disk. The disc is damaged or... ".

  I "took off the CD/DVD drive and reconnected" and the pilot also seems to be OK.

  Any suggestions or ideas?

  Hello

  This sound like a player cannot calibrate properly and that's why the drive cannot read the CD disks.
  Especially the replacement drive is necessary and inevitable. :(

• Satellite Pro 6100 - Wireless Lan cannot be activated.

  All afternoon - I have just my hands on a Satellite Pro 6100 and am impressed to bits with it.
  The only thing that is bothering me is put on the wireless LAN doesn't work. Here is what I tried:

  (1) use the switch on the left side of the laptop - push back for "wireless WE"-no led or an indicator.
  (2) use the FN and F8 for the shortcut - key no joy.
  (3) install all the drivers available.

  It is to have no chance at all. I currently have Windows XP SP2 on board and have lost count of the restarts. I looked at the page update SP2 and found a registry setting, but that does not change. I'm pretty sure that there is a wireless card installed - I found the antenna, but I would appreciate some advice please if anyone has experience this, or is somewhat an expert at this.

  Thanks in advance to you all,.

  Select this option.

  It worked before or since when did that happen?
  You could take a look at the Device Manager if the wlan device is entered correctly without no exclamation point.
  Correctly installed all the drivers and updated? Maybe a BIOS update can help.

  Of course, the laptop was equipped with wlan? Not all 6100 built in wlan.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - battery acting very strange.

  As mentioned in the title, my laptop battery is very strange.

  The symptoms are:

  When the battery is flat after only 7-10 minutes he turns not, however if the battery is removed and placed in the laptop, the laptop will start as it has never happened.
  Not only that, but the bonus after the first can indefinitely until this that loaded into an OS and immediately after starting start the laptop stops due to an apparent lack of power, when there is power always, enough to do the same thing again. Also, the battery can still start even after being just in a freezer.

  This reacondioned back to normal battery or is this safe to use battery?
  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I guess that your battery is old like machines of this Satellite Pro 6100 and maybe it can't be charged more. In this case, your battery should be replaced.

  But even if the battery is faulty, you should be able to use the device connected to the power adapter.
  So even if the battery is removed, you could power the unit with the mains.

• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• Satellite Pro 6100 has no Wlan

  Installed xp on a Satellite Pro 6100 and it has no wireless network adapter in the Device Manager to all, and it does not appear in "Found new hardware" or whatever it is.
  I downloaded the drivers, but I can't put anywhere.

  Remember that the wireless card is an option on this laptop.
  This means that some Pro 6100 was delivered with the WLan card and some does not support the minPCI wireless network card!

  If the WLan card is not listed in the Manager of devices (or as unknown under network adapters device) then the laptop was not equipped of the WLan card and so you cannot use the WLan.

• 'Bad RTC battery, check the CMOS' on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello... I just got a Satellite Pro 6100 and when it is started I get an error message:

  RTC BATTERY BAD
  BAD CHECKSUM (CMOS)
  Check the system. Then press the [F1] key
  _

  I can still use the laptop for about 15 minutes, but then it crashes. I did some research and discovered that it is the power supply Board. But my laptop is out of warranty and the reminder is now officially over.

  Y at - there someone who can help me?
  Thank you

  Hi Liam

  Hmmm... I think it s not a Council but the battery of the CCF.
  Take a look in the user manual. There you should find something that exactly the message is displayed if the battery RTC (BIOS) is not charged.

  The RTC battery, you must connect the power adapter and should run the laptop for about 24 hours.
  After that the main battery has been charged, then the RTC battery starts to load.

  It will take a little longer.

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 6100 USB problem after stand-by

  Hey all,.

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 and when that I start my computer, my USB ports work fine. However, as soon as I wake, I get about 6 pop-up messages stating "USB device" unrecognized and my USB ports do not work.

  Device Manager indicates they work fine, so I'm just confused.

  Any help?

  Thank you!

  Hi guys

  I'm not sure but I think the BIOS update can fix this. Have you already checked if there is a new update of the BIOS for your unit?

• A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
  I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

  Now my questions:
  1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
  2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
  3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

  I thank very you much in advance!
  Lukas

  Hi Lukas

  The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
  This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
  I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

  As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
  Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

• Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card upgrade/replacement

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4 - m 2.0 30 GB and the graphics card is dead. I love this laptop.

  He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

  I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

  Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

  See you soon

  Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

  The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

  Good luck
