Satellite Pro L100 crashes

Hi, I have a two years, Satellite Pro L100. So far it has worked pretty well, although there are about 6 weeks it started automatically stop when I was in the middle of using it. At first I thought it was a heating problem, so I was sure to keep it on a hard flat surface and have a fan where I still work. I also thought that it may be a problem with the dvd drive, so I stopped using that and did a system restore a few weeks ago.

Lately but it became more and more common - stop 7 times today, sometimes after only for about 10-15 minutes. I'm still clueless as to what is the problem - I run virus checks and there is no problem. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do?

I am writing my thesis to the University, which is due soon and find this problem (and the additional stress!) not useful!

Would it perhaps be a design defect (I got only two years). Someone else has reported similar problems?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks like the cooling system could be full of dust.

If the machine is still under warranty I recommend strongly to send the machine to a service partner chartered for a checkup of material.
If this isn't the case, then proceed as follows:

Buy a box with compressed air and blow a few some hollow air ventilation holes but be gentle when blowing. The fan may be damaged when breath too long, so I suggest to call 2-3 seconds, wait a second and then repeat the procedure until the dust has been completely removed. In addition I nettoieriez all around the holes of ventilation with a small brush.

Welcome them

  • Satellite Pro L100 - Crash during the update of the Bios

    Hello

    I am the owner of a Satellite Pro L100 (PSLA4E)

    On the Toshiba site I downloaded the BIOS update. While installing I read that it was necessary to supply cable is plugged. Before I could cancel for the cable, he had started and then frozen. The computer stopped working and so I turned it off! Since then, I've read that it was a very big mistake!

    When put on the fan starts and I can hear etc cd drive spinning. After 15 seconds, the screen is blank, the computer starts beeping!
    Is there a way to solve this?

    Thank you very much
    Rich

    Hi Richard

    Seems not good buddy from your description, that something went wrong during the update procedure and now the ROM module has been flashed properly.

    Maybe you area lucky man and the motherboard isn't too bad, but only the Rom module must be flashed again.

    Unfortunately, this must be done by the technician of the ASP. You will need to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    Good luck and have a nice day

  • Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4: ATI graphics card crashing in half-life 2, Team Fortress 2

    Hello

    I have a satellite Pro L100 (PSLA4) with ATI Radeon Xpress 200 M graphics card.

    During the game Team Fortress 2 and Half Life 2 Episode 2, the system breaks down frequently (screen goes black, then blue, then the computer automatically resets). After restart, Microsoft error reporting tells me that there is a problem with the card ATI display driver and recommend updating the driver.

    I note that Toshiba has not released a new driver to display this map since 2005, and attempts to update via the ATI Web site do not work.
    Is it possible to update the graphics driver or Toshiba has plans to release an update.
    Thank you

    Ian

    Hello

    I use the driver of the * www.omegadrivers.net * site.
    It works on my laptop.

    Download the right and compatible on then go to Device Manager and select the graphics card-> update

    Then select Install from a list or a specific location-> don't search. I will choose the driver to install.

    All that s!

  • Can not find the latest version of the BIOS for my Satellite Pro L100

    Hello everyone,

    I'm looking at the latest version of the bios for Satellite Pro L100 (PSLA1E).

    The BIOS download page is http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp
    The older models, you can find if you use the option product type > Archive.

    Your Satellite Pro is in the list and latest version of BIOS is WIN 3.00.

    I don't know if there is a problem with your laptop but if everything is working properly and stabile don't change anything.

    I had to apreciate any advise.
    Thank you very much

    Hi Cat_Mandu,

    Your laptop is listed on the European driver of Toshiba download page:

    As you can see you do research in the Archives to find the driver because your laptop is older model but the driver update always available :)

  • Satellite Pro L100 CPU upgrade

    Hello

    The hope for some advice.

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L100 of second hand, came up with the following configuration.

    Celeron M 370, 256 MB Ram, 40 GB drive HARD, Win XP

    As the laptop is out of warranty, I disassembled the laptop and upgraded to the following specification.

    Pentium M 735 (SL7EP), 2 GB of Ram, disk HARD 40, Win 7 Ultimate

    Everything seems to work perfectly, but he hopes to upgrade the processor more far, to maybe a Core Duo.

    I noticed on the Toshiba datasheet (* http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/Contents/Toshiba_uk/EN/Others/SatProL100datasheet.pdf *) for the L100, the configuration of this laptop back to a Core Duo 2400 (though on the motherboard PSLA1)

    Only problem I can see is the Core Duo 2400 only comes in a FC-µBGA package, while the L100 seems to have a CF-µPGA socket, a CF-µBGA CPU will correspond to a socket FC-µPGA?

    Also, does anyone know if the PSLA4 in my L100 motherboard supports a front side bus to 667 or 533 MHz?

    I sent Toshiba direct support - but unfortunately they have advised that because they haven't tested any other CPU on the laptop that they cannot advise me - seems a bit strange response given that they use multiple configurations on the same motherboard.

    Thanks a lot, Vaughn.
    S.Wales, UK.

    > Also, does anyone know if the PSLA4 in my L100 motherboard supports a front side bus to 667 or 533 MHz?

    It depends on the chipset.
    As much as I know the laptop supports Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/chipsets/22816

    According to the page Intel chipset supports MHz 533/667 MHz FSB and 4 GB RAM support

  • Satellite Pro L100 - DVD will not turn even upward

    My friend gave me an old Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4E 005009EN to look at. He acknowledges not or read the DVD. I tried using multimedia Nero, Cyberlink and VLC players, but they can't watch a DVD. A CD will play without a problem, but a DVD will not yet run abreast.

    When I look in my computer it says that a TSST Corp CD/DVD TS-L632M is installed, but when I look at the edge of the disc itself, it says DVD. R/RW with lightscribe? The software is also the original software yet.
    Since the downloads for this model of Toshiba page, I see that the TSST DVD - RAM drive was equipped initially to the laptop so I'm assuming that a DVD - RW was equipped afterwards?

    I find the hardware changes in device if Manager shows nothing. If I try to update the drivers found nothing? In desperation I tried to reinstall the drivers from the Toshiba site, but it does not help?
    If this is the case why Windows XP does not recognize a DVD - RW?

    If someone sees something I missed please?

    Hey,.

    Different laptops come with a different material maybe if the laptop was supplied with this player, but in my opinion it of important either.

    The fact is if DVD is not recognized it seems to be a hardware malfunction, but what you can do is cleaning the lens of the player with a Microfiber towel. Do it carefully you don't zero or destroy the lens (dust could be on the lens). After that he try again if it will recognize a DVD.

    Otherwise, the disc must be replaced and contact an authorized service provider. Guys can order a compatible drive and replace it. :)

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro A110 crashes during the transfer of the large data in LAN. The network driver is a Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC I've been looking through this forum and found some wire whit exactly the same problem, saying that the solution is to update Realtek lan set up in BIOS, not the computer BIOS, but I can't find any link to download the necessary upgrade file. Can anyone tell me please where to find this upgrade file or send it to me directly?

    Thanks in advance

    Is - this transfer of data in the company where you work? Do you want to download data from the server, or how to understand this? How to understand what you mean under big data?

    Have you tried downloading data on the Internet? For example, if you try to download some trailer HD (more than 200 MB)?

  • Laptop goes down when using the internet - Satellite Pro L100

    Hi, I had my laptop (satellite pro L100) 5 days and I connect through a router to the internet, but in the last days when im using the internet, a Help window automatically opens and approximately 90 internet Explorer windows open, it became really frustrating, im using norton which came with it, everyone has ideas ive ran a scan for virus and adaware but came up with nothing

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hello

    I understand you very well. For me it s a shock if 90 IE Windows would appear on my small laptop screen. SHOUT OUT! : O

    However, have you installed any 3rd party applications that can open the windows?

    I think that this is not a normal state of the system and if it appears the days of view therefore, you should try roll back BONE to the beginning.

    In addition, you can try to check in the MSCONFIG what background process runs on the operating system. If there are some very strange processes you must turn it off and you must remove the Autorun.

  • Satellite Pro L100 important documents must be registered.

    Basically, I have an old Satellite Pro L100 I used for College, I used it for many years and until recently, I noticed it turns slowly. I downloaded a few items that had some viruses. I downloaded a scanning program called Malware remover, it does the job. Then declared that the system must be restarted. I did this and now my machine won't even get to the starting windows screen. I get enough time to hit F10 or F12 to enter the boot settings and if I'm not I get a black screen.

    I found my recovery disk, but before I run I'm worried that she'll take off everything on my system of valuable work College evaluated photos. So is there an option later in the menu?

    Also, is there a REPAIR work anywhere where I can access that will be enabling wipe me to just save my valuable files and then comepletely my system. I know you can do it on some versions of window?

    Any help would be massively appreciated.

    Hello Rick

    To start your computer in safe mode, try to please. Press F8 to start high and choose this option.
    If you will be able to start Windows connect external USB key or HARD drive and move all the data from the external device.
    After do this option to use system restore and try to roll back the BONES at that earlier time.

  • Satellite Pro L100 132: old RAM is not recognized by the system

    The original memory of our laptop (Satellite Pro L100-132) is 512 MB.

    I bought an extra memory to 1 GB (type has been verified in the product documentation).
    I installed the additional memory, the system starts and you can see the additional 1 GB memory.

    However, the system does not see the original memory of 512 MB, additional memory is installed on the laptop.

    The system should see memory original and extra, because according to the specification for the serial number of the cell phone (checked on the official website of Toshiba) the maximum memory (which can see the system) is 2 GB.

    I tried to transpose the place of original and additional memory between them, but the problem is the same.
    Updated the system BIOS does not solve the problem at all.

    I can't say for sure, but I assume that there is compatibility problem.
    Which Rams bought (specification/manufacturer)?

    A lot of people buy cheap and some no.-name of modules and report on the same issue.
    The Modules of RAM 'Value' use many chips cheap using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some Chipsets/CPUS.

    Exact model laptop post and we can have information about 100% compatible modules for your laptop model.
