• Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

  Hello

  I have a M10 Pro Satellite...
  A few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered to the authorized agent and they had not detected any problems.
  Already I have formatted several times, but the problem persists.

  Any idea what this may be?

  Thank you

  Hello

  For me it looks like you might have a motherboard problem. Formatting removes the chance that it is a software problem. Try taking 1 stick of RAM and test with it. If she continues to crash, remove that stick and try it. If she does it with the two RAM then those who are ok. HARD drive is not the culprit, so now he could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat from the laptop and run some heavy programs do overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a CPU or MB problem. I hope this helps.

• Satellite Pro 6100 gel and close

  Hello
  I just bought a second hand 6100 and after about an hour of use it stops, I guess its overheating as about 10 minutes later, I can restart

  I also have the RTC message that seems to be very popular

  Can someone let me know how to check the radiator & Fan and if the cmos recharges its free if I can get the laptop to continue to operate for long enough

  any help would be appreciated

  See you soon

  Hi Andy,.

  Overheating is a common problem with most laptops and can usually be resolved by using an interior hose of the vacuum cleaner on the grids of aspiration air for a few seconds. This effectively pulls the dust and debris out of the heatsink through fans. It also avoids having to disassemble the radiator that is usually attached to the CPU thermal paste.

  Regarding your RTC battery, this will normally rechanrge once the main battery is fully charged. I suggest that you leave the device attached to the power supply for at least 12 hours after the main battery is fully charged. This shopuld be sure the RTC battery is also fully loaded. It is always possible that the RTC battery began to fail in this case, it must be replaced.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 6000 freezes and the screen is weird random pattern

  Hello

  I recently bought a SP6000 second-hand advertised as having "graphics problems". After 10 minutes or use the laptop freezes and the screen has a strange random pattern all acorss it. The speakers are also a strange hum. I have to stop the laptop and restart.

  I've updated the bios and drivers for card video from the toshiba site, but he always does. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why this problem occurs. You have purchased a second hand unit. It is possible that your device has a hardware malfunction, but I can't give you an answer why it is happening. I suppose that temperature increases after 10 min of use.
  Maybe this could be a problem. It could also be a fault of the motherboard. But these are just suggestions. In my opinion, you should ask the service for detailed information.

• Satellite Pro 6100 freezing completely - help someone!

  My 6100 intermittently freezes completely, I'm hard stop pressing / stop button for 6 seconds. Cannot ctrl + alt + delete or whatever it is.

  Thought that this may have been a virus or another fault, so I saved and rebuilt from scratch using the recovery disk... and it just happened again!

  Help please

  Hello

  It could also be an overheating problem. In this case, I recommend to check the cooling fans. Fans can not work properly because of the dust. Try to clean the fans with the hose of the vacuum cleaner. If it doesn't solve the problem of freezing so I suggest you contact Toshiba service in your country

• Satellite Pro 6100 restarts and hangs himself

  Hi, (Toshiba sp6100)

  Computer is invented to obey his orders to s user or orders but my laptop RESTARTS and HANGS itself without any intervention from the user.

  Such a weird problem, it is very EMBARRASSING as it does on the exploits above three times in 15 minutes.

  I used the RECOVERY CD twice, but suffers a problem...

  Please suggest me if anyone knows how to cure the disease.

  Concerning
  himakanth

  Hello Himakanth,

  It seems that if your installation is default 'auto restart in case of error. The effect is to force the system to restart in case of system error.

  I recommend to disable this service (via Control Panel) so that the next time your system encounters a problem, it stops on the error screen and does not restart. Ate less then you will be able to see what the problem is.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• '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 - 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.

• 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.

  Eve x

  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 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.

• LED flashing - need to know the Satellite Pro 6100 POST error codes

  When I tried to turn on my Satellite Pro 6100 laptop the Green DC in power light turned orange and started to blink.
  It flashes 5 times, then 3 times then repeats.

  I guess that this indicates a failure in the system, but where can I find what means this error code?

  Hello

  You can read the flashing code very easily short flashing means 0 long average 1.
  Then you read the complete code back.

  Finally, the error code must be converted into HEXADECIMAL value and then a technician of the laptop could know what means this value.

  The ASP in your country should provide details of the mentioned error.

  Hello

  I put t think you will be able to do anything that would bring back the laptop from the dead.

  According to your description books sends a flashing error code that appears always if a motherboard error has been detected.

  In your case only an ASP might help you.

  First, the technician would be able to read the code and then to know what part is malfunctioning.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced; (and this could be a costly affair.

  Good luck

• Need to drive caddy HARD and coverage for Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive

  Does anyone know the part numbers or to get a hard drive caddy and the Satellite Pro 6100 Series hard drive
  Thank you

  What caddy did you? Internal an external 2.5 USB caddy for a HARD drive or the case?
  I think that if you need a domestic framework for laptop you should order it since the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country.
  I think that guys should be able to order something like this directly from the Toshiba store

• Satellite Pro 6100 cannot start - message PXE - E61 and PXE - MOF

  My dad just bought me a satellite pro 6100 for United off ebay and when I turn it on the toshiba screen comes up, followed by: PXE - E61 and PXE - MOF. as I am a total blank computer I have not a clue what to do! any ideas...? :)

  Hello Naomi

  Don t worry, it sounds not very badly. I think that you will solve this problem by changing some settings in the BIOS. ;)

  To my knowledge, this message appears when the LAN option has been fixed at the beginning of the boot order. So solve this problem to get into the BIOS (ESC and F1) and then change the order of Boot CD Drive drive HARD etc...
  Please set the LAN at the end.
