• 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 A10: battery discharged very quickly

  I had the laptop for about 2 years and it has been very good. But in recent weeks the battery (when not on power) discharge VERY quickly (in a minute or two) as soon as any disk activity takes place. I guess it must be the battery, but I noticed recently that even after being in power for several hours while I had used widely, he showed he was still that 90% of charge.

  I am aware that recharge the battery too frequently can cause the battery be reduced significantly but I made a point to let him unload frequently to try to avoid this.

  This one any sense?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge and discharge the battery about 500 times. After this period, only the battery loses performance and you need to replace.
  The battery is covering 1 year warranty.
  Increased time battery life it s recommended to remove the battery if the power adapter is plugged.

  In your case, I think the battery is dead, and if you want to use the laptop with the battery you need to replace.

• Satellite Pro 6100: very slow recharge battery

  I bought a new battery pack for my Satellite Pro 6100 because my old Battery Pack loaded very slowly, about 5 per cent in 12 hours. But it turns out that my other one has the same problem.
  The problem may be the charger or the laptop.
  I already tried to unload the batteries fully.
  Can someone help me.

  Hello

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you use the new battery pack and the problem is there, it is possible that electronic power on your laptop is not working properly.

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

  Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

  By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

  I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
  Any ideas?
  Concerning
  Phil

  Hello

  Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
  In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
  The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

  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.

  Very strange problem! Can you please tell us more about this problem? I assume that you have installed the OS on your own. Since when you noticed this weird display problem?

  Have you noticed this immediately after installing the OS (without driver)? Did you install the display driver on Toshiba support page?

• 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.

• Signal not detected on Satellite Pro 6100 wireless

  I have two laptops Satellite Pro 6100, two of them are configured to automatically connect to our local wireless router which they both started.
  A computer is used by myself by my wife; bookmarks, email accounts and so on are different on every computer/hard drive.

  I have problems with one of the computers (mine) - the usual problem with multispindle connectors on the video boards and feeding, then I tried to use "his" computer with 'ma' machine's hard drive.

  His machine does not recognize our LAN with my hard drive installed. He came up with a new network found, but not a wireless network. Also, with this machine and my hard drive installed, can't the machine to search for wireless LANs, the icon does not appear. The switch is turned on for wireless signals and it works very well with his hard drive in it. The network is protected, and the two machines have the same id in them for connection which work fine in the original engine.

  I don't really understand this condition. Something in the bios? Something on my hard drive that is not recognized by the computer? the wrong phase of the Moon?
  Suggestions how to trouble shoot and fix this?

  Both machines are XP Pro on them, latest updates.

  Hello

  Also AFAIK, Satellite Pro 6100 was equipped with different Wlan cards so if use different HDD with different driver then the Wlan card could not be detected by Windows XP.

  Check if the wireless adapter is listed in the Device Manager and recognized correctly.

• Satellite Pro 6100 turns off when I connect the power adapter

• [u] [b] Satellite pro 6100 + external projector problems [/ b] [/ u]

  Dear friends,

  I am trying to solve this problem:

  When I connect to the satellite Pro 6100 a 3rd party bCool XG1 DLP projector (a very good) I can see everything fine except DVD.

  I better explain: I can see the movies on the screen of the laptop, but nothing on the wall...

  Notice that I can look at these files directly on the screen, but on the wall...:
  MPEG files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  AVI files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  MOV files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);

  DVD: (With Intervideo Windvd) Ok on the screen, but no output from the projector.

  Note that if I use the small window mode, the projector output image is correct except inside the window that is displayed in black (but is OK on the screen of the laptop).

  Who can help me?

  Thanks in advance.

  Stefano

  Hi Stefanohf,

  When you pass the output mode you have with keys FN and F5?

  also what settigs are set in the display driver? Right click on desktop, properties and parameters.

  go to advanced and nView. There should be active clone!

  Try this!

• 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 - after updating the BIOS, it does not

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my old of Satellite Pro 6100.

  I started to upgrade the Bios via download from Toshiba (using WIN) site - OK downloaded zip files and installed, machine then stops. Problem, it does not restart - it's so now I have a laptop 'death' that is not responding to any key I tried.

  Any suggestions of resuscitation?

  Already I've updated from XP to SP2.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello

  It sounds like that the BIOS update has failed and your laptop can start t again. But try this workaround:
  Remove the AC adapter and the battery and then wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn t work I think that the motherboard needs to be replaced or you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can reflash the ROM module
  But maybe you can find a motherboard of second hand cheap on eBay

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not start - power light flashes

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 when I press the power button and HDD lights up briefly then powerlight blinks.
  It seems to Flash a pattern: on (2 sec) flashes (2 seconds) then off (about 8 times)

  What he told me? No fan, no display no hardrive is active.
  Food is ok because it load battery.
  I bought it as it would be something easy to fix ideas?

  Hello

  It sounds bad
  Generally, the power led will blink due to a malfunction of the equipment.
  The LED provides a microcode and only the technician can read this code.
  A common user is not able to read.

  Maybe you'll be able to read this code, but you won't find any description about the meaning of the code.
  I recommend you contact the technician in your country

  But try this:
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait severla times and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
  If this does not help, you have aks, a complementary technician...
