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: 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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: 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 - is to "restore" a re - recovery CD install?

    Hello

    My Satellite pro 6100 won't start. "Starting process crashes and a message appears saying that the \windows\system32\config\system file:-«' is missing or damaged.
    When I ran the product recovery DVD, he asked me to confirm what operating system, I want to "Reinstall". At this point I turned it off because I don't want to do something that I can mean loose valuable data (photos) from my hard drive. The user manual is ambiguous, he speaks of restoring damaged files and restore the software preinstalled in the same section. Can someone tell me if I continue I will get the option just the file restore/repair damaged in question or he comes to wipe my hard drive (including my data) and completely re - install windows XP?
    Thank you

    Hello

    If you are using the recovery CD it erases everything on your computer! So if you have something that is important then it first save!

  • 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 - 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.

    How do you know what the flashing of led said you? You are a sort of technician? How can you know that the "blink" (long, short) are 0 and 1.
    Do you know how to assemble the circuit board and don't you know that the things you have take care? Who PCB´s that you have exchanged?
    You said:

    but the powerpcb too? And how do you know that the PCB´s are ok? Because why someone is selling you that with the 'work' of description?

  • [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

  • 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.

    Good bye

  • 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.
