Satellite Pro 6100 turns itself on a

Hello

I have laptop Satellite Pro 6100 who recently had the idea of turning on. It may be ok for 30secs or 3 hours.

Any ideas if there are common faults with this model or if it is difficult to fix. Also im going to sell it fixed or not with a canon printer.

No idea how much it is worth.

Thank you

Common faults? Hey Buddy this series is an oldie and to me, it looks like a problem that occurs because of the long duration of use.

Have you tried to reinstall the OS? This should be the first step!
He must know if its software or a hardware issue!

If the same will occur after the installation of the new operating system then the problem might be related to overheating.
Could the laptop shuts down automatically due to a temperature inside the laptop. Maybe a debris and dust affect the butcher of modules cooling, fans and, therefore, the machine cannot be properly cooled.
In this case, you must clean the fans.

However the RAM a malfunction could cause the problem too, so as you can see s not easy to say what s wrong

  • 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 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 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 - 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?

    Ta

    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! ;)

  • 2 GB card SD not recognized in Satellite Pro 6100

    Hello

    I got a new 2 GB SD card passenger high speed. When I insert into the slot of my Satellite Pro 6100 SD card, I see in the list of the Explorer, the new drive, but when I click it, it says: "Please insert card".

    The card works fine in my Pocket PC.

    What can I do? What is the size limit of card for the SD-Card-Reader inbuild?

    Any help is appreciated!
    Thank you!

    At the point where Satellite Pro has been offered, there was no 2 GB SD card and card reader has been tested with available maps only. If you're lucky, 1 GB card can be readable.

    I think you this card works fine in the other device. There is absolutely no problem with the card itself but old material or even driver for the card reader.

    Maybe in the next few days, someone will point out what card can be used with SP 6100.

  • 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.

  • 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 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!

  • 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
