• Satellite Pro 6100: error message - cooling fan does not work

  Hello
  I have a SP6100 and it keeps giving me an error message about the cooling fan does not. Then he tells me to stop immediately and runs very slowly. The fan come on, but after three or four short bursts it stops and the message appears.
  Is it a mechanical problem with the fan? I took out the radiator and the fan, and it was clean and not sticky.
  What is a system problem? The BIOS has recently been updated.
  Should I just invest in a new cooling unit and if so where would I get one?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) because it can test your device and can do a diagnostic test.

• Satellite Pro A300 - error message box: Pwdbank - abstract error

  Pro A300 laptop constantly arisen in the error message box: Pwdbank - abstract error. Must kill the pwdbank process to stop it.

  Anyone know what is the problem and how to fix it?

  Thank you.

  AFAIK the pwdbank.exe is a part of TrueSuite.

  If you use fingerprint or tool, you can disable the automatic loading of this file.
  Otherwise if you need this, you should check for an update from Toshiba Web site:

• Satellite Pro M30 - error message: the user is not authorized to update BIOS

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. This one has the Bios 1.30... I would like to install the bios v1.70.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and tried first update in Windows.
  I however got the message "the user is not allowed to update BIOS.

  This message is quite surprising given that I have administrator privileges.

  I read that you can use a floppy disk to update, but I did not...

  So, is it possible to update the Bios with the CD?

  See you soon,.
  R.S.

  Hello

  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found the version of BIOS 1.7 WIN in the field of ARCHIVES.

  As you can see, it's a version of BIOS Windows and not a traditional version of the BIOS (trad BIOS can be updated using the diskette).
  This BIOS win can be improved only from a running OS Win.

  In any case, I see that you have installed SP3. It could have a bad influence on the update of the BIOS.
  Then maybe you should try to update the BIOS without SP3 installed?

  Remove SP3, download the good BIOS, unzip correctly and then try to run the BIOS update file.

  _Ps: If you laptop then runs without problem a BIOS update is not necessary! _

• Satellite Pro A40 - overheating message

  My A40 has been left on a bed - air fan has been blocked. I have stripped and cleaned the fan and the heatsink, and reassembled. Now it works for a few minutes then the error message "The CPU is overheating stop please" is using XP Home.

  I check the air inlet and the fan turns - hot air that comes out but not excessively hot. Is there a hardware reset to stop this message or permanent damage to be made?
  If anyone can help please email me at: [email protected]. We do not have a Service Center in Mozambique

  Hello

  When you put the CPU back you apply new thermal grease. If you do not, then it would cause the error.

• Satellite Pro U300: Error Message: cable is disconnected, but Lan cable is connected

  Hello

  I have problem with interface ethernet (wired) in my Satellite Pro U300. I use in many places (home, office, customers) and when I restore in sleep or hibernation mode interface ethernet shows that the * cable is disconnected *, despite the connection of the cable * is * connected and works perfectly with all other devices, laptops and PC.

  The switch also shows that the there no signal link. But re - activate the malfunctioning ethernet port, just disable the ethernet interface and then after 5s (1 s is too short!) turn on.

  Then a baloon in taskbar window indicates that there are 10 Mbit/s link, but actually, the link works at 100 Mbps (I can see it in the connection status window and the ethernet LEDs switch). This is the only laptop that has this kind of problems.

  I have the latest version of the installed ethernet 5.664.205.2007 driver on Win XP SP2.

  Is it possible I'm getting rid of turn on interface ethernet several times per day (except change laptop)?

  Hello

  I put t have a real solution but I have a few proposals of solution

  First of all, you should check in Device Manager if the network card has been properly recognized. The Ethernet card should be listed under network without any yellow exclamation point cards.

  If the network adapter has been properly recognized, then the next step should be checking the properties of the LAN connection.
  There, you should check the properties of the TCP/IP protocol.
  The settings such as IP address automatically get & address of DNS server automatically get must be marked.

• Satellite Pro P100 - error message-"unable to get session notifications.

  Everytime I turn it on I get the error message "unable to get session notifications.
  What is c?
  How difficult or turn it off?

  Thank you

  Hmm... It looks like a 3rd party software notification.
  You may have removed (uninstalled) a program, but the registry contains some bad entries that cause this strange notification.

  You know the free app "CCleaner"? It repairs and cleans them registry and system files. Maybe this program might help to get rid of this message...

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro U200 - error messages from storage during the shut down

  I use Office XP, Office 2003, Adobe Acrobat 7.0, internet explore, copernic search machine and some other programs. The Task Manager said after a complete reinstall (recovery CD Toshiba) with about 60 process.

  Now, I got to 71. I've updated the LAN driver, use a norton security system, all inclusive Windows XP update
  and however - only 2 days after complete reinstallation I am facing once again error messages, which indicates that a process could not put storage.

  Hotline or an engineer on the Toshiba site could help me on the issues. Hardware (RAM, hard disk) will have been controlled and that okay.. In addition to the error messages when stop I also got the phenomeonon this laptop is not stopped completely and was for hours (blue screen indicating that the computer stops) until I turned off with the key for 5 seconds.

  What could be? I had a few other laptops before and I ran identical programming on them - and I have never had these error messages.
  I checked the task Mgr before stopping and no process was running - however this error messages that a program cannot be put in storage rises.

  Hello

  For me it of clear. You have installed so many applications, and some of the background process may be completed when the laptop stops.

  For me its amazing how many applications are running in the background.
  You write something about 71! I also installed many applications, but on my background portable 40 processes are currently running and for me it a very high value.

  I think that you should check you msconfig (type msconfig in the run window) option and check the background processes that are not important. Turn off also automatically load it at initialization of the laptop.

  Unfortunately, but there is no other solution.

• Satellite Pro A40 guard stop with the ATI driver error message

  My girls having some problems with her laptop and get back to Uni at the end of week for me to have a look on.

  Basically, he keeps closing sometimes with an ATI graphics driver error message. I had updated the memory last Christmas and resinstalled from scratch.

  My first impressions are it is overheating and I probably need to clean the fan, was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

  Thank you very much
  Keith (South end)

  Satellite Pro A40 is about 3 years old and it is possible that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the appliance is used intensively, I assume that there is more dust inside. By overheating of the appliance stops suddenly without any warning.

  As a first step the device. I don't know if it's the right idea to do it alone, but if you are familiar with laptops, you can give a try. After having done that, your daughter should carefully watch what happens the next few days.

• Satellite Pro A40 keeps telling me that there is a cooling problem

  Hello

  Can someone help me please?
  I have a Satellite Pro A40, it keeps telling me there is a cooling problem and told me to turn off immediately?

  What should I do to stop this?

  Hello

  What type of program mean you? I've never heard of this then maybe you can post a screenshot or

  But maybe your laptop is really overheating or clean you already? If this is not the case, to do it with the jet of compressed air. Blow gently and shortly the depression of the air holes of the case of the machine where the hollow air flows. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
  I clean my Toshiba notebooks with jet of air compressed every 3 months and I never had a problem with it.

  That's all I can say at the moment.

• Satellite Pro A40 psa45e - error code: what is the problem of flashing

  I just bought the laptop above Satellite Pro A40 (psa45e - 0184 h - en), which came with a generic power.
  The great laptop worked until the other night.

  The light on the power supply is on, output is 15 Volt, turns on the laptop at the front, an orange light comes on and blinks 5 then 2 then 1, I guess the 521 error code.

  Unplug everything and the light goes out then two green lights turns on, then laptop has started twice and started upward (running xp) but then freezes.

  I guess the power supply stopped working and the chip has noticed the problem.

  Can anyone confirm the fault error is feeding or is there something else wrong.

  Need to know before you buy the Toshiba power, I don't want to lose more money.

  Help, please...

  How much is your generic AC adapter?

  The amps must be the same or greater than what your laptop needs. You can view the Volts + Amp requirements based on the laptop (serial sticker).

  So if the laptop needs 15v 8A... you need a 15v 8A or 9A 15v or AC adapter / higher CC.

  If the amps are too weak, in the custom of mobile devices get enough power and could cause damage.

  You should get yourself a good Toshiba adapter for peace of mind. Cheap generics can be more trouble than they are worth.

• Satellite Pro A40 inside cleaning due to overheating problems

  Hi Forum,
  I want to clean my Satellite Pro A40 carefully inside due to overheating problems.

  Can someone provide me with a sort of manual how to open the SPA40 correctly resp. How to clean it.

  I think that indoor air to blow a few tablets will not solve the problem, there is a lot of dirt and dust inside.

  IWant to do myself, so please do not recommend you speak to a technical expert.

  Thanxx in advance...

  Hello

  > I want to do it myself, so please don't recommend me to contact a technical specialist.

  In my own opinion, generally it s not a bad suggestion if some advises to contact a technician for laptop to a radiator cleaning because the dismantling of most of the computers mobile new generation is very delicate and not easy. Mostly one or the other has no experience and in this case, it is best contact an ASP to help him try to clean the laptop and probably damage parts.
  If the warranty is valid such procedure will void the warranty

  But don t worry buddy ;) I'll try to help you as much as I can
  I have goggled a bit and found it nice [statement | http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA45/Satellite-A45-remove-hinges-1.htm] how to disassemble the Satellite A45.
  The A45 is very similar to the A40 and so pictures of the laptop must be the same.

  Step 4 (photo) and step 5 shows the dirty radiator and how to remove it.
  You do not need to disassemble the laptop full but only the radiator at the bottom of the unit cover.

  Notes; Always be careful and don't use force to remove anything ;) and you know everything you do are at your own risk

  I hope I could help. Best regards and Merry Christmas ;)

  Good bye
