• Satellite Pro 6100 memory upgrade

  I don't have a model of toshiba satellite pro 6100: PS610L-04NVN of Singapore and it currently has 256 MB of pc2100 memory installed and I am wanting to install another 256 so I have 512, but now I would like to know:

  1. If I get the memory of a vendor of kingston, it'll work with this laptop, it is has 2 different types of memory, because there KTT3311 (333 mhz) & KTT3614 (266 mhz)?

  Hello

  The memory module manufacturers are not very important. But of course the modules of memory "no name" performance not as good as other modules such as Toshiba or Kingston.
  Module properties are very important. This unit uses PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.
  I found compatible modules:

  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  If you use the same modules and only the speed is different so the laptop will use support at reduced speed.
  In your case a module supports and other at 266 MHz 333 MHz. The laptop will support at 266 MhZ.

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

• Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

  Hello.

  I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
  Only, I get a blank screen.
  When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
  Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

  The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

  Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

• Satellite Pro A210: BIOS upgrade/downgrade to XP fails

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest BIOS for XP on the Toshiba site, as I lowered the from Vista to XP.

  My A210 has v1.70 BIOS (for Vista) installed.

  The XP BIOS I downloaded works Winphlash and stop trying to install the current BIOS is different from the one to be installed.
  I tried to use the advanced settings, but the update crashes just before writing the new BIOS.
  Is there a way I can download a version to install on a boot CD, or any other means of installing Winphlash.

  Thank you
  Paul.

  I was a little confused m

  First on the European driver Toshiba page you will find only in the BIOS for Vista 32 bit OS.

  I didn t find a special version of the BIOS for Win XP!

  Furthermore the released BIOS can be updated ONLY of the operating system running. You cannot update the diskette or CD!

• 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 - how to change the date and time in the BIOS

  Hello

  I received a satellite pro 6100 that had not been used for some time. Windows does not work then he reinstalled with the good drive.

  When I try and windows 'enable', I get the error 32777 and the laptop is unable to connect with the activation servers that a google leads to believe me that the date and time are incorrect in the bios.

  I know that Press esc to access the bios but there is no option to change the date and time in there. I put the date / the correct time in windows, but this does not seem to synchronize with the bios. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, but this is not enough.

  How can I change or update the time in the bios?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt this time and date setting BIOS does affect Windows activation time Windows doesn t affect it in my opinion. There must be another reason for this problem.
  You can activate Windows by phone?

  Normally the date and time in the BIOS can change you if you mark the date or time, and then press on + or - to change this. Sometimes you have to press PageDown/to the top according to the model of BIOS or laptop.
  Usually in the configuration of the BIOS you will find a brief info how changing the values.

• How to remove the bios password on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello
  I got this Satellite Pro 6100, I would like to install windows xp on it, somehow once I opened it, it's just a black screen with the password.
  I removed the hard drive and I was able to access it with my computer, means that the password is not for the hard drive, but rather the bios.
  What is the password of the bios? How can I reset it? I removed the Green battery which I think it is the RTC battery, it would make? How long should I wait for the settings to be reset to zero?
  Y at - it no jumpers to reset the bios... ?
  I don't know what my son used a password, so I need help with this...

  Is it possible to kill the bios settings... ?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It seems that the machine has a BIOS password. And it seems that there are only 3 options:

  1 Google for the procedure how to remove a BIOS password
  2. ask your son for the password
  3. send your machine to an authorized servicepartner and allow them to remove the password, which means that you pay money for it.

• Hardware upgrades to Satellite Pro 6100

  I own Satellite Pro 6100 - PS610E-NGYSC-EN.

  What is the maximum memory (more), processor and hard drive you can put in one of these laptops. I've included the part number in the title of reference. Also where can I get a new power supply and the battery?

  Hello

  The upgrade of equipment is possible, but not all the pieces are extensible; for example, you cannot move the CPU or GPU.

  What you can do is an upgrade of the HARD drive and memory.
  As far as I know that this series supports PC2100 DDR - RAM (512 MB PA3164U - 1 M 51 part number) modules and you can improve it to max 1024 MB (2 x 512 MB).

  The laptop also supports the HARD disk with an IDE interface.
  I think a 60 GB HARD drive, or maybe a 80 GB could be compatible.

  I also found a compatible battery and mains adapter:
  Battery Lithium - Ion 10, 8V 600mAh 3, part number: PA3191U
  AC adapter - AC 100-240V to AutoFix, 50-60 Hz, 15V 5A 75W reference PA3083U-1ACA

  Hope this information can help you

• Satellite Pro 6100: cannot get into the BIOS and does not start

  I have a portable Satellite pro 6100, en I was trying to boot from an external USB hard drive. When I activated the second hard drive option in the BIOS it has stopped booting all in all, I can't even get into the BIOS Setup more. All I get is "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" screen with the icons to select the method of priming preferred manually after it's just blank screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left.

  Press ESC or F8 before to turn usually results in fast beeps sounds.
  Press tilde (~) before turn is reflected in the remaining space screen (not even the home toshiba screen appears) and slow Zens sounds.

  Apart from that I can't really do nothing at all.
  I tried to reset the BIOS by disconnecting the battery CMOS/RTC (hoewever, we call it) of the motherboard for a while with no results.

  Turn on/off without the results of HD internal in a white screen with an ERROR 'IDE #0.
  I can always stop by pressing the power button, you don't have to bother on the external hard drive it past I don't even want it works more.

  Suggestions?

  Hello

  I agree with Graeme. Your HARD drive is probably faulty. Sorry, but I don't think that you will be able to use the external HARD drive. The option in the BIOS is not for EXTERNAL HARD drive is just, I guess, for disk HARD placed in select Bay.

• 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

• Satellite Pro 6100 - Question on WLAN adapt and mac address

  I bought a second hand of Satellite Pro 6100. It has a WiFi adapter. It is where and how do I know the macadress of the adapter?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you are sure that this laptop was equipped with the Wlan card, and then the MAC address can be easily discovered 100%.
  You must start the console with the command: * CMD *.

  Then use the command: * ipconfig/all *.
  This would list all the details on the WLan/LAN cards installed in the laptop.
  The physical address means MAC address ;)

  This should help!

• 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.

• New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

  Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

  I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
  I reinstalled the latest drivers
  Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
  Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

  Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

  Hello Martin

  This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

  I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
  What do you think of this?
