Satellite Pro 6100: message "RTC bad battery appears, check CMOS.

When I move my 6100 SP it freezes, and then when it is restarted the message "bad RTC battery is displayed, check CMOS. I also noticed that when the machine hangs the fan operates at high speed and the bottom of the machine and the keyboard gets very hot.
Need your advice.

Hello

Did you change or replace the RTC battery?
The error message looks like a death or a bad RTC battery.
You should try to charge the battery (plug the AC adapter / CC)
Try to enter the BIOS setup and check all options. You can set the BIOS default settings.
Check if it helps. If it's not, so I guess there is something wrong with the RTC battery and it should be changed.

  • 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 L100 132 broken badly - how to check?

    Well, here you have it: I dropped to the bottom of my laptop on the floor cement, some three weeks after buying, but it still works! (It's a Satellite Pro L100 132) With technicians, we ordered the necessary parts: plastic covers around the screen and the keyboard.

    No other problems are visible (I actually use the little guy at the present time, it behaves as usual), but you never know. So, my question: what are the problem areas that I need to check that everythings continues to work very well? And how can I archive them actually?

    I have heard things on the HARD drive, but not in details. In fact it was the fault of all stupid of the bag, it slipped right on my shoulder.

    Confound it!

    Hello

    It a shame to hear this.
    But maybe you re a lucky guy and nothing was serious damage.
    If the screen is working properly and that you are able to boot the operating system so I guess also the HARD drive was not damage and it works fine.

    I would recommend to open Notepad or remove something if you have no experience. I think that technicians should check your laptop. But if everything works fine, so I think that there is no need to s.
    Take care ;)

  • '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.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

    Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

    By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

    I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
    Any ideas?
    Concerning
    Phil

    Hello

    Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
    In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
    The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

    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.

    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 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:

  • 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 does not start - power light flashes

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 when I press the power button and HDD lights up briefly then powerlight blinks.
    It seems to Flash a pattern: on (2 sec) flashes (2 seconds) then off (about 8 times)

    What he told me? No fan, no display no hardrive is active.
    Food is ok because it load battery.
    I bought it as it would be something easy to fix ideas?

    Hello

    It sounds bad
    Generally, the power led will blink due to a malfunction of the equipment.
    The LED provides a microcode and only the technician can read this code.
    A common user is not able to read.

    Maybe you'll be able to read this code, but you won't find any description about the meaning of the code.
    I recommend you contact the technician in your country

    But try this:
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait severla times and then plug in the battery and plug in the AC adapter.
    If this does not help, you have aks, a complementary technician...

  • How to remove the bios password on Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello
    I got this Satellite Pro 6100, I would like to install windows xp on it, somehow once I opened it, it's just a black screen with the password.
    I removed the hard drive and I was able to access it with my computer, means that the password is not for the hard drive, but rather the bios.
    What is the password of the bios? How can I reset it? I removed the Green battery which I think it is the RTC battery, it would make? How long should I wait for the settings to be reset to zero?
    Y at - it no jumpers to reset the bios... ?
    I don't know what my son used a password, so I need help with this...

    Is it possible to kill the bios settings... ?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It seems that the machine has a BIOS password. And it seems that there are only 3 options:

    1 Google for the procedure how to remove a BIOS password
    2. ask your son for the password
    3. send your machine to an authorized servicepartner and allow them to remove the password, which means that you pay money for it.

  • 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!

    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
