• Satellite Pro 6100 - no idea on I need drivers

  Hello

  I don't have any idea what the laptop except a Satallite Pro 6100 1.7 ghz, 512 MB ram mobile P4 CPU graphics card nividia.

  It would be great if I could know what laptop that I use to download the drivers, or at least be done in which I need only one I'd love to be able to change the brightness of the display by using the fn + F5 key and have the screen filling the LCD.

  Thank you.
  Mike.

  Hello

  I put t really understand your problem

  The European driver from Toshiba site provides all the important and necessary drivers for the Satellite Pro 6100.

  I assume you mean on the XP drivers
  Install all.

  In a first step, I recommend the installation of the common Module Chip Set Utility, display driver and then continue with the rest

  If you have installed SP2 please check the "Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information" because some tools need to be updated.

• Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card upgrade/replacement

  I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4 - m 2.0 30 GB and the graphics card is dead. I love this laptop.

  He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

  I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

  Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

  See you soon

  Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

  The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

  Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

  Good luck

• Hardware upgrades to Satellite Pro 6100

  I own Satellite Pro 6100 - PS610E-NGYSC-EN.

  What is the maximum memory (more), processor and hard drive you can put in one of these laptops. I've included the part number in the title of reference. Also where can I get a new power supply and the battery?

  Hello

  The upgrade of equipment is possible, but not all the pieces are extensible; for example, you cannot move the CPU or GPU.

  What you can do is an upgrade of the HARD drive and memory.
  As far as I know that this series supports PC2100 DDR - RAM (512 MB PA3164U - 1 M 51 part number) modules and you can improve it to max 1024 MB (2 x 512 MB).

  The laptop also supports the HARD disk with an IDE interface.
  I think a 60 GB HARD drive, or maybe a 80 GB could be compatible.

  I also found a compatible battery and mains adapter:
  Battery Lithium - Ion 10, 8V 600mAh 3, part number: PA3191U
  AC adapter - AC 100-240V to AutoFix, 50-60 Hz, 15V 5A 75W reference PA3083U-1ACA

  Hope this information can help you

• New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

  Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

  I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
  I reinstalled the latest drivers
  Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
  Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

  Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

  I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
  What do you think of this?

• 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 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: cursor moves out of control on the screen

  Hey guys,.

  I'm seriously going crazy right about now... my problem is the following:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, Windows XP Professional with SP2, memory: 512 MB.

  About two weeks ago my cursor began to move up and down whenever I pressed the space bar. It has gotten worse since. My cursor moves out of control across the screen (there are usually in the upper right or lower left) and I can not recover. I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my external mouse (optical), because this problem also occurs when I use my pointing device. Even in safe mode.

  The thing I've tried:
  Ran Spybot: Search and Destroy
  Ran Adaware
  Xoftspy RAN
  A ran Symantic Antivirus 10 (complete analysis of the system in safe mode)
  New keyboard
  New motherboard

  Nothing helps. I'm this close to format my pc. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I put t he understand. You have changed the keyboard and the motherboard, but you did not recover the OS with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  The first procedure that you should do is the new installation of the OS before you change or replace anything on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why it occurs. A friend of mine has a similar problem with the cursor. The cursor has jumped on the screen and it was not possible to open applications. It has (or service) resolved with the replacement of keyboard.

  If the new installation OS doesn't fix this strange cursor, so I recommend you contact Toshiba.

• [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!

  Goodbye, Sam

• 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-> DVD playback is OK, but can not read CD

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 and the reader of CD/DVD SD-C2502 on winxp sp2.
  The drive did not read any CD/DVD at the outset.
  After a DVD lens cleaner, it plays DVDs, but the Player cannot read any CD incl. music CD

  The error is 'windows cannot read the disk. The disc is damaged or... ".

  I "took off the CD/DVD drive and reconnected" and the pilot also seems to be OK.

  Any suggestions or ideas?

  Hello

  This sound like a player cannot calibrate properly and that's why the drive cannot read the CD disks.
  Especially the replacement drive is necessary and inevitable. :(

• Satellite Pro 6100 - after updating the BIOS, it does not

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my old of Satellite Pro 6100.

  I started to upgrade the Bios via download from Toshiba (using WIN) site - OK downloaded zip files and installed, machine then stops. Problem, it does not restart - it's so now I have a laptop 'death' that is not responding to any key I tried.

  Any suggestions of resuscitation?

  Already I've updated from XP to SP2.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello

  It sounds like that the BIOS update has failed and your laptop can start t again. But try this workaround:
  Remove the AC adapter and the battery and then wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn t work I think that the motherboard needs to be replaced or you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can reflash the ROM module
  But maybe you can find a motherboard of second hand cheap on eBay

  Good bye

• 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 - battery icon indicates 0% and courier mouse disappears

  Hi all

  I'm new to this so hope I'm posting in the right place.

  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.
  If I try to defrag it does not have enough power?
  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.

  Eve x

  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 - Wireless Lan cannot be activated.

  All afternoon - I have just my hands on a Satellite Pro 6100 and am impressed to bits with it.
  The only thing that is bothering me is put on the wireless LAN doesn't work. Here is what I tried:

  (1) use the switch on the left side of the laptop - push back for "wireless WE"-no led or an indicator.
  (2) use the FN and F8 for the shortcut - key no joy.
  (3) install all the drivers available.

  It is to have no chance at all. I currently have Windows XP SP2 on board and have lost count of the restarts. I looked at the page update SP2 and found a registry setting, but that does not change. I'm pretty sure that there is a wireless card installed - I found the antenna, but I would appreciate some advice please if anyone has experience this, or is somewhat an expert at this.

  Thanks in advance to you all,.

  Select this option.

  It worked before or since when did that happen?
  You could take a look at the Device Manager if the wlan device is entered correctly without no exclamation point.
  Correctly installed all the drivers and updated? Maybe a BIOS update can help.

  Of course, the laptop was equipped with wlan? Not all 6100 built in wlan.
