Satellite Pro 6100 himself turn off

Hello

I'm from the Italy. It is 3 days that my Satellite Pro 6100 after some time (it can be 30 minutes or 3 hours) close itself.
I tried to update bios version 1.70 to 1.90 without any result. I tested my HARD drive and it works fine. I formatted and reinstalled Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition but the problem that it is still there.
When it crash, reboot, it seems 'BAD RTC BATTERY' and "BAD CMOS", I have to press F1, then I exit without changing anything.

I saw that 3 weeks ago appears at the beginning of this message: "PXE - E61 MEDIA TEST FAILURE CHECK CABLE"and"PXE - MOF OUTGOING INTEL PXE ROM" but works laptop well until 2 days ago.

I don't know why, but every time I restart now stop when WINDOWS XP is on the window (not the first logo on page WXP black) cyan, but the second on the window cyan; can do work that I have to press CTRL + ALT + CANCELLED and it go to the desktop.

I don't know what to do? Center of Toshiba, it is far from my town, if you can help me will be appreciated.

Sorry for my English, I read a few post but exactly with my problems, there is no job.
Thanks in advance, it's a great laptop I jump to save it.

p.s. There is no dust on it, I tried to lift the keyboard to clean, but it was already clean, even behind the fan.

Hello supertraz,

On 6100 laptop there is a soft spot between the control panel and from the motherboard, causing this malfunction. You will not be able to solve this problem simply raise your keyboard and blowing air into your laptop.

A good description on this problem (I had, too) can be found on this forum posted by user seintaxx here:

Good luck with it.

Kind regards

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.

  • Satellite Pro A10 just turned off with warning message

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 I've had for about 2 years now. During the 2 ~ 3 days I started to have a problem very serious and boring, and you're doing something to run MS word thro to play to a very high technical game (this game can be played on an old 486 no probs) the laptop after about 20 minutes (may vary) usage turns off just with warning message it immediately restarts without any problems and then after different durations down again and again :, (. everything got a clue what the hell happens, please help. :))

    Hello Colin

    Portable described behavior is specific to the overheating of the material. If the laptop is not properly cooled the temperature of the material at the level critical and just turns off without warning.

    Solution is cleaning. The device must be cleaned and dust should be removed. After doing this unit can take a new breath and you won't have this problem again. You will see that run cooling fan will also soften than before.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 display turns off sometimes

    Hello

    I hope someone can shed some light on a problem with a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 that I can't seem to get to the bottom.

    The laptop has Windows XP Professional installed and works fine, except for the fact that intermittently (could be 5 minutes, maybe 90 minutes) the display screen is what I can only describe as 'blocks '.

    The o/s plant (I ran BACK and Tests of diagnosis when the problem occurred) I would say movement of waves of mouse to the screen and activity HARD drive software continues running, except the screen is unreadable with blocks of color scheme.

    Any ideas or suggestions as to what this could be, and how I could go about repairing it?

    Hello

    It's very strange question.
    Have you tried to update the graphics driver? If not then please select this option.

    Besides if the update doesn't fix this eventually it there something wrong with the hardware. In this case, it is not easy to say what could be wrong.
    In your case, I recommend you connect the external monitor if the problem occurs.
    If the color blocks will also appear on the external monitor so eventually the graphics card or motherboard is corrupt.

    But, if the problem occurs only on the internal laptop display, so I would say that there is something wrong with the display or the FL-inverter.
    In this case, you should contact the technicians to solve this problem, because guys have more experience than each common user like me and you.

    Good luck

    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.

    Hello

    You use original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or another?
    What happens if you connect the AC/DC adapter, while the laptop is turned off?

    It s really strange problem, but I think that is s TI associated with AC/DC adapter or the motherboard itself

  • Satellite Pro 6100 turns itself on a

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite Pro 6100 who recently had the idea of turning on. It may be ok for 30secs or 3 hours.

    Any ideas if there are common faults with this model or if it is difficult to fix. Also im going to sell it fixed or not with a canon printer.

    No idea how much it is worth.

    Thank you

    Common faults? Hey Buddy this series is an oldie and to me, it looks like a problem that occurs because of the long duration of use.

    Have you tried to reinstall the OS? This should be the first step!
    He must know if its software or a hardware issue!

    If the same will occur after the installation of the new operating system then the problem might be related to overheating.
    Could the laptop shuts down automatically due to a temperature inside the laptop. Maybe a debris and dust affect the butcher of modules cooling, fans and, therefore, the machine cannot be properly cooled.
    In this case, you must clean the fans.

    However the RAM a malfunction could cause the problem too, so as you can see s not easy to say what s wrong

  • Satellite Pro 6100 will not turn on - flashing LED

    Hello

    I have a probelem big, my Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 lights so I decided to buy a new motherboard @ ebay.

    I have to build in and all I get is an orange error code. So I decide to make me buy a testet PCB (Powerboard) on Ebay, then the same thing! Then I bought a second Geforce but the same error code! So I all exchanged but the processor and I'm ascendant to buy a second to test or do you know Whata´s evil?
    I don't think that the new parts are broken!

    The error, the code of the orange Led is 01000011 or short, long, short, short, short, short, long, long and I did not see what maybe the problem!

    Sorry for my broken English I come from Germany!

    Hello

    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:

    Hand and VGA

    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?

    Would appreciate some feedback from you

  • 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 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

    On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

    I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

    The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

    It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

    Hi André,.

    You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

    I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(

  • 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 Power failure

    Hello

    My satellite Pro 6100 has a power failure. While that work with the laptop will turn off by itself and the orange led on the left side.

    Is there a codelist of the blinking´s meanings.
    What can be the problem?

    Thank you
    Peter

    Hello

    The left led is an indicator of DC IN. Normally it turns green when the AC adapter DC voltage. If the s output voltage adapter is abnormal or if power outages, this indicator flashes orange. In this case I think that it s a hardware failure and you should contact Toshiba service partner assistance. However information on the LEDs and on your device, you can find in the manual of this device.

  • No WLAN on Satellite Pro 6100 light

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro 6100. But there is no Wlan light, if I turn on the wlan switch. I did a Bios Update to 1.9, but wifi does not work.
    Is it possible that the on-off wlan switch is damaged, or what could be the problem?

    Hello

    Did you check if the wireless card is already preinstalled on you laptop.
    Have you ever used this option?

    I agree with you... it of not impossible that the WLan switch on the side of the laptop is broken.

    The switch allows you to activate on the motherboard and allows the WLan antenna.
    If there is a hardware malfunction for example a loose contact outside help is necessary. In this case, the ASP must check the unit
