• 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! ;)

• 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.

• Satellite Pro 6100: blue screen after overheating problem

  My laptop overheats a year ago and since then I can only use it for about an hour at a time. First sign, it's going to blue screen, it's the hard drive starts clicking and about 5 minutes later, he dies.
  Let it cool down for a few hours, then it is well again. It is not the disc hard as I tested it in another laptop.

  Any ideas?
  I desperately need to work again, it has been the best laptop I've ever owned, and I hate the idea of having to buy a new one with a touchpad.

  Hello

  Generally, the laptop overheats because the cooling module may not work correctly.
  I guess that the blue screen appears because of the overheating.
  In this case, I would recommend checking the cooling fans. Fans cannot work properly because of the dust and debris.
  The use of the vacuum cleaner is the best way to clean the fans.
  But be careful.

  In addition, the square around the laptop must be free. It is important that fans can take a breath.

• 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.

  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 - error "password HARD drive built-in" at startup

  Hi, my laptop (Satellite Pro 6100 P4 - M 1.7 GHz/15TFT/256 MB / 40 GB/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi/BT/W2K or XP) started rather recently invited me with a "Built-in HARD drive password" message at startup upward. I never put no password on the hard drive in the past, though only in desperation to try to get the laptop running, have tried all the possible passwords I have ever had. Nothing works and I'm failed with a laptop dead on my hands. I would appreciate any help/advice anyone can make.

  Thank you.

  Hi Khurram

  Unfortunately I think that you will need to replace your hard drive. If your laptop is definitely ask a HDD password then there is no way around it and the only way I know to recover from this situation is to send the hard drive to a specialised company that specialize in this kind of recovery (usually for forensic purposes, Police, armed forces, etc.). This can be very costly.

  The easier (and cheaper) option would be for you to replace the hard drive and restore your system and your data (either from a backup if you have one, or from the Toshiba recovery disks).

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 6100 - no idea on I need drivers

  Hello
  Well, I brought a Satallite Pro off ebay a few days back but I can't find what I need.
  I don't have any idea what the laptop except a Satallite Pro 6100 1.7 ghz, 512 MB ram mobile P4 CPU graphics card nividia.

  It would be great if I could know what laptop that I use to download the drivers, or at least be done in which I need only one I'd love to be able to change the brightness of the display by using the fn + F5 key and have the screen filling the LCD.

  Thank you.
  Mike.

  Hello

  I put t really understand your problem

  The European driver from Toshiba site provides all the important and necessary drivers for the Satellite Pro 6100.

  I assume you mean on the XP drivers
  Install all.

  In a first step, I recommend the installation of the common Module Chip Set Utility, display driver and then continue with the rest

  If you have installed SP2 please check the "Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information" because some tools need to be updated.

• Solution found to the problem of "BAD RTC BATTERY' on Satellite Pro 6100

• 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. :-(

• [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

  Hi guys

  I'm not sure but I think the BIOS update can fix this. Have you already checked if there is a new update of the BIOS for your unit?

• 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.

  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: 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.
