Satellite Pro 6100 shows flashes code 73 h

Hello

I have a SP6100 where only power led flashes.

I think the code is long - long - short - short - long - long - long - short that represents 73 h I think.

The picture says

PPV voltage is not less than 0.68V when the computer is turned off.

But does that mean? As I'm German I can't really say if this means that the motherboard is broken or if it's something more easy to repair.

Could someone help me please?

Best regards
Matthias

> I think the code is long - long - short - short - long - long - long - short that represents 73 h I think.
You are right; It s 73H

Means of long short 1: 0
So the code is: 1100 1110
Due to the least significant bit, must read this by behind; means: 0011 0111
0111 0011 = 73 H

However, these codes mean more often that it found a motherboard problem
I don't think that the replacement motherboard might help you

But the motherboard is expensive and in my opinion, is not worth a remedy on this oldie...

  • 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: LED flashes at a certain frequency

    Mentioned this problem in another article

    Power adapter gives green LED and charge the battery. So far so good, but...
    After pressing the button ON / OFF, nothing happens. Do not use is not the main adapter but the battery gives no change.
    Only the DC IN - LED flashes at a certain frequency:
    short-long-short-Short-Short-Short-short-long,
    Morse code:.-... -.
    in BIN: 01000001

    Nothing happens... Sytem stays down

    I bought a new battery but no change.

    What can be wrong?

    Manusje

    The blink code is displayed if there is something wrong with the hardware.
    Code: 0100 0001 should read it back 1000 0010 = 82 h

    The Toshiba service partner should know what is the meaning by mistake 82 h
    You should ask him for help.

  • 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 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!
    Hope for answers and greetings

    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 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 - 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! ;)

    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

  • A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
    I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

    Now my questions:
    1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
    2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
    3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

    I thank very you much in advance!
    Lukas

    Hi Lukas

    The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
    This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
    I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

    As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
    Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

  • 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 BIOS upgrade question

    Hello

    I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

    Hi Christian,

    I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

    It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to access the Satellite Pro 6100 wireless network card?

    I'm cleaning a Satellite Pro 6100 for a customer and noticed that it has built in wireless card (something they didn't know). However, I just can't work out how to access. I pushed the little switch on the side backwardsa and I rocked forward, Fn + F8 and everything else I can think. But nothing happens.

    I even found the Switch Device Network utility, but that is only to show the LAN card.

    Any ideas?

    First of all please check if Device Manager in the laptop has an integrated WiFi card. The switch WLan available on the website of the laptop does not. Laptops are delivered with different specifications, and the WLan card is optional.

    I think that the WLan card is not installed in your laptop and so you cannot use it.
