Satellite Pro 6100: cursor moves out of control on the screen

Hey guys,.

I'm seriously going crazy right about now... my problem is the following:

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, Windows XP Professional with SP2, memory: 512 MB.

About two weeks ago my cursor began to move up and down whenever I pressed the space bar. It has gotten worse since. My cursor moves out of control across the screen (there are usually in the upper right or lower left) and I can not recover. I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my external mouse (optical), because this problem also occurs when I use my pointing device. Even in safe mode.

The thing I've tried:
Ran Spybot: Search and Destroy
Ran Adaware
Xoftspy RAN
A ran Symantic Antivirus 10 (complete analysis of the system in safe mode)
New keyboard
New motherboard

Nothing helps. I'm this close to format my pc. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

I put t he understand. You have changed the keyboard and the motherboard, but you did not recover the OS with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
The first procedure that you should do is the new installation of the OS before you change or replace anything on the laptop.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why it occurs. A friend of mine has a similar problem with the cursor. The cursor has jumped on the screen and it was not possible to open applications. It has (or service) resolved with the replacement of keyboard.

If the new installation OS doesn't fix this strange cursor, so I recommend you contact Toshiba.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cursor disappears in the upper right or lower left corner

    I guess because of the setting based on the device keyboard pointer cursor often disappears and is difficult to return to the screen. It is not possible to disable in the bios.
    Anyone have a suggestion how to disable this device pointer? I saw that the connection of the keyboard consists of two pieces of a part color Cooper 5 sons and a part of silver color. The colorful copper would be the device pointer and what will happen, is that I simply disconnect the coloured copper of the connector part? I use a USB mouse, so I did not need this device

    Hello

    If you really Don t need you should unplug the part coloured copper, I think that this could be the mouse. The connection of the mouse contains generally less son then the connection of the keyboard, so it should work.
    On the other side, I suggest you go to ebay and search for a new (can also be used but works) keyboard, because I Don t know if it s really healthy to work with the machine with connectors or cables disconnected internally.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cursor mouse jumps around

    The mouse internal nipple on my laptop does not work, it jumps around in all directions. I tried to replace that with a USB mouse that works fine except that I hit the space bar, then the cursor will jump on the side of the screen.

    It will then continue to scroll on the side of the screen, even if I bring him back. Looked at a lot of forums and it looks like a common fault but not a miracle.

    Help, please

    Hello

    I put t think that it s a common fault. It could just be the keyboard malfunctioned.
    One of my friends has a Tecra, and the cursor of the mouse jumped crazy on the screen.
    It was not possible or very difficult to open all the windows or click on the icons.

    The service provider has changed the entire keyboard and it's a solution.
    Perhaps you will also need a replacement.

    But what happens when allows you to disable the touchpad with FN + F9 function? Make cursor jumps when you use USB mouse?

    Two USB 1.1 ports work fine after cranking up what the laptop goes into mode 'sleep' (automatically or manually).
    The restart afret optical mouse connected to the USB port does not illuminate and the XP system displays the error message on the device not recognized on USB port.

    Plug the mouse on or off doesn't change anything. Only restart helps.

    Have you tried this thing?

    ->, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    -> waiting for ~ 30 min 1 h
    -> connect the two parts again and try to turn on the device

    If this will not help, then it would mean that a hardware problem serious causes this problem and you will need to contact a Toshiba ASP technician to know exactly what s wrogn.

    Hello

    Try to connect the external monitor to the computer and check if the same weird display behavior will be appears on the second monitor.
    If the same problem of screen appears on the external monitor, I presume that the malfunctioning of the graphics card!

    Have you tried updating the graphics card driver? Please do it! First remove the old version of the driver, and then install a newer version.

    I recommend using the Toshiba page display driver, but you can also check the drivers from the site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Modem does not - No Dial Tone

    Hello

    I'm in terrible trouble. I have a big meeting Friday and discovered that the internal modem on my Satellite Pro 6100 does not work. I downloaded the drivers of software Modem since the support site, and the installation seemed to go OK. There are no conflicts listed in the Device Manager, and when I query the modem to in the properties of the modem (from the control panel), it seems question OK too, but...

    HE DIDN'T THERE WAS NO DIAL TONE!

    I don't know that it is connected to my phone OK. Instead of a tone, I hear a loud hum, with a series of clicks. I can't hear being composed either DTMF tones, even when I disable "wait for dial tone. This behavior is the same if the modem is connected to the phone line.

    I have a big rally Friday and will need this modem to work... any help would be much appreciated...

    Thank you

    Matt.

    Hello
    that doesn't sound so good!

    The measure where I read that your ad you´ve checked your system almost all.

    Right on the thing, have you installed a firewall or other programs to check system that denied access to the modem?

    It is also ok, you should let check your laptop on a faulty Modem.

  • 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 cannot get my GyroTransport new 'air mouse' to work

    Satellite Pro 6100 running XP Professional with SP3 and all updates as of 10/24/08.
    BAUGHT a new mouse made by Gyration GyroTransport air, but it won't work on my laptop.
    Tried in several other computers with the same OS and it works very well. In fact as a teacher, I recommend one of these brilliant sound devices.

    I tried all settings via the control panel and can not work on why it won't work.
    The laptop recognizes the name of it when its plugged in but the States, he has a problem. The dongle USB/receiver with a memory stick with some additional software on this subject, but the laptop does not regognise the memorystick at all. He acknowledges that other memory stick no problem.
    That technician school COMPUTER looked at it and can't get by either.

    It is usually on the spot.
    Any body out there of suggestions?

    This mouse works on some laptops newer with USB 2.0 ports?

    One last thing: If you use some additional hardware to help apply the manufacturer's support. Computer laptop manufacturer doesn't provide support for certain third party materials.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - code beep at startup

    Hi all

    Just picked up a 6100 Pro of the Satellite with a few problems.

    It lights up, he pointed out the HARD drive and I can hear the disk activity. However, the screen remains blank and a single beep can be learned after 20 sec. White screen, as I understand it, is probably the issue of Council power raging in the SP6xxx series. However, the beep I do not understand.

    I know that 2 beeps or 3 beeps is incompatibility of memory but no one knows which denotes the beep?

    Hey Buddy,

    To be honest it's not easy to say what the cause of the problem because it could be everything and Satellite Pro 6100 is old enough for laptop.

    You have two memory modules RAM? If so remove a module. Always try a module only at the same time and test it in the slot of RAM A and B. A module is may be defective or a slot.

    If this is not the case, there seems to be a problem with the motherboard or the CPU itself. If you can exchange these things, try it yourself as a repair would be too expensive for this good old classic I think.
    Second hand spare parts you can get it on eBay s worth a try! ;)

  • [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!

    Goodbye, Sam

  • Recovery CD/DVD for Satellite Pro 6100 products?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite Pro 6100 (model number: PS610E-029ZV-BE) second hand and have experienced a non-recoverable accident.

    I need to reinstall it, but as you can guess, I don't have the recovery CD/DVDs. Someone out there has them and could send/ftp a copy?

    I tried with an official windows CD XP Pro, but the key which is on the small sticker on the laptop is not accepted...

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Bruno.

    I recommend you get a new set of CD recovery of an authorized Service Agent. They are not too expensive, I recall.

    Kind regards

  • 2 GB card SD not recognized in Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    I got a new 2 GB SD card passenger high speed. When I insert into the slot of my Satellite Pro 6100 SD card, I see in the list of the Explorer, the new drive, but when I click it, it says: "Please insert card".

    The card works fine in my Pocket PC.

    What can I do? What is the size limit of card for the SD-Card-Reader inbuild?

    Any help is appreciated!
    Thank you!

    At the point where Satellite Pro has been offered, there was no 2 GB SD card and card reader has been tested with available maps only. If you're lucky, 1 GB card can be readable.

    I think you this card works fine in the other device. There is absolutely no problem with the card itself but old material or even driver for the card reader.

    Maybe in the next few days, someone will point out what card can be used with SP 6100.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: screen stays completely white or completely white

    I have a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 running windows XP with SP2.

    For the last time, when you turn it on, sometimes the screen is totally blank and sometimes she is totally white.

    Must shut down the computer and try to reboot, sometimes several times until the computer starts correctly.

    Could you please tell what it is and how to fix it.

    Your answer will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Louis

    I think that we should first find out if the problem is related to the graphics card, for the internal display or on the part of the screen!
    In such cases, it s a good idea to connect the external monitor to the laptop.
    Check if the symptoms appear also on the external monitor.

    If the same thing will happen on the external screen so I guess that the computer laptop s video card is malfunctioning. But if the image appears correctly on the screen then the problem could be linked to the internal LCD display or the small part as FL inverter.
