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 2805-S201: AC power light flashes orange 8 times

    Hello

    I worked on a Satellite 2805-S201 and everything was fine until I put a PCMCIA wireless with 3, 3V power.
    After that, the AC power light flashes orange 8 times and recycle.

    It comes with power supply, battery, AC and no battery installed, etc. If I pull out the power plug and the battery and then put both when AC is green and the battery may charge. As soon as I push the power button, I hear a light click on the right side of the device and then it goes into the amber cycling power.

    Bulletins of support mentioned that the card could get damaged, but did not mention the unit itself.
    No, the PCMCIA card is not always connected

    Any thoughts?

    Hello

    The flashing provides a micro code which refers to the hardware failure.
    But please don't ask me what might mean this code because in my opinion, only an authorized service provider can be read and can check in his manuals and documentations.
    But it is of course, in most cases, it s a hardware problem of motherboard! ;(

    Perhaps the external PCMCIA card was not totally compatible and damages of something on the map but it's only my personal suggestion to ensure what s bad hardware fault diagnosis would be necessary.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 cannot start - message PXE - E61 and PXE - MOF

    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 A120 - DC-in is flashing orange, why?

    My Satellite Pro A120 DC - in flashes orange once I plugged my universal charger.
    I read my user manual. It is said it can be caused by an abnormal voltage or a power problem but I don't know if my charger is the one bringing or there is a power problem.

    The voltage is correct and I tried to plug in charger everywhere but still DC-flashes orange. In fact, I can t use my laptop when the charger is unplugged because its battery lows down so I can t use my laptop at all when he can load t.

    It makes me think that maybe the battery is the problem. In any case, what is the problem at the start of DC-in flashing orange.

    Please help me what to do. Thank you

    Hi jane18.

    > once I plugged my universal charger.
    And what happens if you use the AC/DC to original Toshiba adapter that came with your laptop?

  • Satellite Pro 6100 slowy starting after crashing

    My Satellite Pro crashed recently and since then has worked ridiculously slowly, not only in windows, but start upward. Any ideas on what I can check to see what the problem is and we hope to resolve this?

    Hello

    What do you mean by crashed?
    Replace a few parts such as HARD drive?
    Usually if Notepad starts slowly, you should check the boot order in the BIOS.
    Try disconnecting additional devices if you have connected some external devices to the laptop.

    In addition, you can try running chkdsk to check the HARD disk for errors.

  • Satellite A100-225: battery power light flash orange

    Last night, plugged my AGES of NINE DAYS by Satellite A100-225, the lights were on, it was working fine.

    This morning, woke up, lights were turned off, tried to turn it on, the battery power button flashed light Orange.

    Tried to play with the cable by plugging it into other outlets that I knew worked, nothing helps.

    Have tried to start without the battery in it, without success.

    Unless there is a function that can prevent from starting somewhere, I don't know what to say. This computer is nine days old, and I do not understand how something can just wrong all night.

    Adding info if necessary - computer was on when I went to sleep, and was running Mozilla Firefox and WinAMP.

    Hello

    Perhaps the unit automatically goes in standby mode or hibernation?
    On this device, the automatic system standby/hibernation has been reinstalled. This function automatically stops the system when there is no input or material of access for a specified time. You can specify the time and select System standby or hibernation in the base of the Toshiba power saver settings tab.

    In addition, if the battery LED is flashing it means that the battery charge is low. The adapter must be connected to the battery.
    If it of not possible to charge the battery, so there are several possibilities: the battery could be dead, the AC adapter doesn't work or there is something wrong with the hardware of the laptop.

    Try disconnecting the battery several times and then connect.

    But according to your ad you tried a procedure and it doesn t work. So I think you should ask the ASP in your country to help.

  • Power on Satellite Pro 6100 problem

    Hello
    I seem to have problems with my SP6100 power. It does not power on battery or plugged it in. The charger flashes, but trying to try to power on - it fails to do so.

    Do you think it is a problem of motherboard or real power in MS? If so, please can someone point to me power supply model number to get a price?

    See you soon.

    You have an older model of Toshiba, then perhaps internal Cmos battery maybe got pretty empty, too.

    I don't think that your power supply has a problem, as you can see a light going ON, on your laptop. I suggest you remove the power cable from your laptop, remove the battery, too (push the cover on the side, so he's going to jump out of your laptop).

    Now, without any connected power source, push the button to empty completely the remains of your laptop. Leave your laptop or else be plugged on it for an hour or two, and THEN reconnect your diet. It can show a message on the screen that the "RTC checksum is false", ignore her and start your computer normally. You will need to set the time through the windows again.

    I hope that your laptop now works like new again ;)

    Hi jam

    Price, we can only speculate because I heard that it is not the same for each service. Unfortunately, we have a? free help? and all licensed services can offer own prices. Contact the nearest service and ask how much will cost the cheque or the exchange of the CMOS battery.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite 5200-801-indicator of battery flashes orange while dc is green

    I have SATELLITE 5200-801, the battery light flashes orange while the domain controller is green and the laptop works
    stop when it is off.
    the battery is empty.

    I can't boot from external USB cdrom to install windows as its internal DVD does not work

    Help, please

    > Ok I fix the battery problem was feeding me to change.
    Nice to hear that! :)

    > But I still can't start external USB cdrom
    Have you checked if your laptop computer (BIOS) supports booting from an external USB drive? I doubt it would be possible on old Satellite 5200. If you exchange your CD-ROM drive. You can look on eBay for the part of second hand, they are a little cheaper. :)

  • 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...

  • Satellite Pro 6100 will not turn on - flashing LED

    Sorry for my broken English I come from Germany!
    Hope for answers and greetings

    problemman

    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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • [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!
