• Satellite Pro 6100 orange clear syndrome - part2

  Thanks for your replies.
  I understand if the orange light blinks, it might be something wrong or battery not charged.
  I have been wondering about this "something wrong." Is there an explanation of these signals?

  I heard that it's something to do with the power supply, and apparently this is a common problem with my model.
  I do not qualify in this category, but would like to know if I can fix it myself or I have to send it to customer service?
  If it's just a weld (which I presume it is) why I need to bother with the appeal upwards, arranging Pick-up & collection.

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all, why did you start a new topic and don t post the question in your old topic?

  However, the flashing code has several meanings, and there is no official document on the meaning of the code. If this problem occurs, you must contact the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• 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. :-(

  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 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.

• Satellite Pro 6100 stops after 15-30 minutes

  My satellite Pro 6100 Cup after 15 to 30 minutes of operation on power outlet. There is a noise and all the lights go out except orange slow flashing (power problem). I have restore by removing the power cable and wait a while.

  It will then start again. I used two different adapters and two different batteries. It also happens if work on AC with no battery in the. My suspicion is an overheat cut-out. The Sat Pro has a? Could it be clogged with dust inside (it is 5 years old)? If yes how I clean. I don't think it's a fan failure because I can hear the fan cut in. Advice much appreciated. Thank you.

  > Could it be clogged with dust inside (it is 5 years old)? If yes how I clean. I don't think it's a fan failure because I can hear the fan cut in
  I agree with you and the user SambadeAmigo. It seems like a simple problem of overheating and so the laptop automatically stops to prevent the equipment from damage

  I assume that your laptop can be enabled again after being allowed to cool. It is a common question if the cooling modules may not work properly because of the dust and debris.
  As suggested, it would be possible to remove dust using the can of compressed air.
  It should work.

  See you soon

• 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

• 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.

  Good bye

• 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.

• Signal not detected on Satellite Pro 6100 wireless

  I have two laptops Satellite Pro 6100, two of them are configured to automatically connect to our local wireless router which they both started.
  A computer is used by myself by my wife; bookmarks, email accounts and so on are different on every computer/hard drive.

  I have problems with one of the computers (mine) - the usual problem with multispindle connectors on the video boards and feeding, then I tried to use "his" computer with 'ma' machine's hard drive.

  His machine does not recognize our LAN with my hard drive installed. He came up with a new network found, but not a wireless network. Also, with this machine and my hard drive installed, can't the machine to search for wireless LANs, the icon does not appear. The switch is turned on for wireless signals and it works very well with his hard drive in it. The network is protected, and the two machines have the same id in them for connection which work fine in the original engine.

  I don't really understand this condition. Something in the bios? Something on my hard drive that is not recognized by the computer? the wrong phase of the Moon?
  Suggestions how to trouble shoot and fix this?

  Both machines are XP Pro on them, latest updates.

  Hello

  Also AFAIK, Satellite Pro 6100 was equipped with different Wlan cards so if use different HDD with different driver then the Wlan card could not be detected by Windows XP.

  Check if the wireless adapter is listed in the Device Manager and recognized correctly.

• 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 - 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! ;)

• Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

  Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 computer? I am currently using windows XP.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  Do you really think on installing Windows 7 over several years old Satellite Pro 6100?

  In my opinion, it won't work because it is too old and not fast enough. Newer operating system that is supported by Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for good old classic.

  So just to be satisfied with Windows XP, it's a good choice for older computers! :)
