• Re: Satellite Pro M10 - strange Boot problem

  Hello.

  My Satellite Pro M10 has developed a strange problem. It will power with its installed hard drive.

  The yellow light beside of the plug symbol starts flashing. When there is no hard drive not connected, or another hard drive from another trendy laptop it starts fine?

  Please help, thanks in advance,

  Destro

  I don't know how to help you. HARD drive changes and everything will be ok.

  Is - this original hard drive that you got with your laptop?

  My question is "is it posible to do a reset of the bios parametrers" or "reset the CMOS?
  Is it possible to get it working again.

  Hello

  The flashing light means that it has detected a hardware problem on the motherboard!
  Perhaps you have used a wrong CPU and is not compatible.

  Perhaps the BIOS does not support this processor and therefore this flashing error code appears.

  What say you can't update the BIOS! First of all, that's not possible since only focused on the victory of BIOS is available for download. You must run the Windows operating system to update the BIOS.
  Secondly the update of the BIOS won't help you with this problem!

  You must use a CPU that is fully compatible!

• Satellite Pro M10 - starting problems

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro M10, only 2 years old, but has big problems at the start line.

  The message that appears when you turn on it is:

  'Intel(r) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09
  Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - MOF: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press any key when ready... »

  Now, I talked to a few people and they all say I need a new drive hard etc., but I don't see how replace you it as it looks like it is built in instead of something that can be drawn.

  Also I don't have a system disk, and the guy who provided it has decided not to return my emails?

  Can anyone help please?

  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  It is possible that this notebook you trying to boot from the CD rather than the hard drive. Check in your BIOS settings to make sure that the boot order is correctly specified as HD first. I would not recopmmend change the hard disk at this stage, since it would mean having to restore your system from a recent backup (if you have a) or re-installing the CD recovery.

• Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

  Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

  Hi Hannah,

  The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

  This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

  This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro M10 attempted to upgrade processor

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade cpu original 400 fsb 1.4 mhz centrino centrino 1.6 mhz 1 MB cache 400 fsb cache 2 MB (SL7EG), it works but only the minimum frequency (+-670 Mhz), it remains each time to the lowest frequency even if a lot of work is invited to the cpu (tried a lot of cpu stress tools).

  I really don' t know how solve this problem... can someone help me please?

  Bios version 1.50, version of the firmware 83,72, 23/05/2003 date of the bios.
  Thanks for advantage

  NB: only in documents from toshiba, the CPU seems to be fully compatible with Satellite PRO M10

  Hey Buddy,

  Just a quick question: you know that upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba?
  With other words, it means that no one can tell if another CPU works correctly, and if you can use the higher speed.

  I guess if you can use t as the higher speed, the CPU is not taken in charge and that s a limitation of the card motherboard/BIOS.

• Satellite Pro M10 - horizontal lines on the screen in different areas

  Hi all

  I hope someone can help.
  My Satellite Pro M10 seems to suffer a display problem where I have horizontal lines on the screen in different areas.
  It would be well for 10 minutes and when the laptop seems to warm up this problem begins, then shortly after
  The laptop would crash and enter in a resolution of 800 x 600 16 colors or sometimes freeze.

  Graphic drivers have been resettled, and even a new installation of Windows XP from the recovery CD does not help.
  A reboot doesn't solve what the same thing happens again and after one minute of use, so I thought it might be a video or cooling problem.
  I changed the video card I had a spare part of my last motherboard hoping this would solve the problems, but the problem persists.
  Perhaps a cooling problem? Or problems of motherboard?
  The motherboard has been replaced twice, hoping that this isn't another mobo problem.

  Any advice would be great.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure but to me it looks a bit like an overheating problem
  Maybe the graphics card may not be properly cooled after a certain period of time and that's why these strange horizontal lines appear on the screen.

  I wonder how you were able to replace the graphics chip on the motherboard?  :|
  If I m not wrong not the chip is fixed and the replacement is very easy and difficult

  It of always difficult to say what's maybe wrong without running several diagnostic tests in most cases this problem may be related to the defective chip or motherboard and so the following should be checked

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

  Best regards from my friend

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi guys,.

  I searched all over the web to find an answer, but has no success. So I really hope one of you can help out me.

  I have a very old Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 with 512 MB in it. The laptop is protected by a BIOS password that I know. However, the problem is that I want to remove the password of BIOS completely. I know this isn't a big deal, but I find it annoying to type the BIOS password over and over again. Mostly because I am preparing this old lady for my oldest daughter. Furthermore, I just installed Windows 7 and it works well, but I have all the original software Toshiba, for example the HW configuration utility. I expect the download somewhere on the net, but unfortunately this is not as simple as that.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Jeroen

  Hey Buddy,

  It is easy to remove the BIOS password. Follow the instructions posted by Al - eX.
  As new password just enter anything and then the password is removed.

  I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on Satellite Pro M10. It is a very old book, and in my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice.
  In addition there are no downloads available for this model and Windows 7 on Toshiba page

• Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

  Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

  I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

  My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

  Hello

  I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
  This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
  As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• Satellite Pro M10 displays the characters currupt at startup

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 that collapsed. When the system boots, the Toshiba logo seems to have a few points here and there. When displaying messages on the screen during startup, the characters seem corropted. For example, the message "Insert system disk", I and T of the insertion of the word seems to be half upper ASCII characters. The system S is the "less than or equal to sign." and the k of the scratch disk is {.} I already did the following:

  -tried to start with one of my two memory card and I tried the two memory cards.
  -swapped my memory card.
  -reloaded windows and Linux

  I have dropped it once but worked OK for a month after I dropped it. I deleted the operating system, but now seems to have problems to load a CD operatig system (CD works OK). Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

  Thank you
  Peter Loo

  Hello

  You suggested that the cell phone dropped twice.
  Well, you can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop to see if it s a screen failure or malfunction of the graphics card.

  You have problems with the installation of the OS? Maybe there's something wrong with the disk and the HARD disk. But maybe only loses connection is responsible for the problems. Check the pins.

  It is possible that the screen and other devices was damage due to falling down.

• Satellite Pro M10 cannot start properly - AC LED flashing orange

  Hello

  I have a weird problem that I can't solve.

  (1) when my Satellite Pro M10 the plugged AC adapter and the battery, the AC led is green and battery led is orange.
  (2) when I try to turn it on, several times it not light and the dissepear of leds for 1 or 2 seconds and my AC led flashes orange. Sometimes it lights up as it should be.
  _________
  When this problem occurs, it will take a lot of time before it turns normally. I searched the internet for a solution, but I couldn't find one.

  I already removed the battery and try to turn it on, but it does not solve the problem. Or when I remove the AC adapter and try to start it on the battery itself.

  I also removed the two of them and you press the button power on for 60 seconds. After that, it will sometimes start with mains or battery adapter.

  My bios is updated to the latest version. (I've done this when he started only five minutes ago, but the problem is not resolved). I also believe that when the m10 is enabled and when I close it, it crashes also.

  Do anyone know how to solve the poblem? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  These problems are very rare and shouldn't t happen if hardware or software is ok.
  Power LED blinking orange means there could be a hardware malfunction.
  It is a code flashing microphone and a technician can be read.
  This code must be translated into the hexadecimal digit.

  But for ordinary users it s not able to know what it means. In my opinion a power electronic malfunctions and must be verified by an ASP.

• I can't access all the settings BIOS with Satellite Pro M10

  Hello, I have a little problem with my satellite pro m10.
  When I press the button 'on', I see the toshiba logo. (normal)
  I want to get into the bios, I push the button "esc". Now, I see the message "check system. Then press [F1]. So, I push the F1 button.
  Now I can see "password ='"
  I push the button directly enter, and I have access to the bios. But my problem is that I can only change the date/time, password and the hard drive password.
  I can't access to other environments, such as boot priority, show, another.

  In the beginning, I think it's the fault of password, but I try to change it and I have no results.

  Please help me.
  Kind regards

  Hello

  What happens when you remove the BIOS password?
  Have you tested it? If this is not the case, check it.

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  Concerning
  J

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

• Satellite Pro M10 Hibernate - error message "the file is not found.

  I have the Satellite Pro M10. I have problem in the power of Eve v6.00.04. When I want to activate the Hibernate mode it give a massage: * the file is not found. Please confirm the name of the specified file *.

  I can't use the hibernation mode. I tried to uninstall the Toshiba power saver and install again but the massage even come. If anyone has experienced the same problem and have a solution? Please advice

  When you active hibernating the operating system creates a file named hiberfil.sys in the root of your system drive.
  Of course, this file is missing in your installation.
  You can activate and disable hibernation in the system control-> power options.
  Disable hibernation, restart and enable again. Is there an error message? Maybe your C drive has insufficient free space?
  The size of the hibernation file is different from your main memory size.
