• 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

  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: 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.

• 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 6000: display or graphics card problem

  Hello
  I don't have a model satellite pro 6000. PS600E-01NYE-FR
  1 GHz P3, 20 GB HDD, wireless bluetooth not running XP

  I understand that it is an old laptop but had been treated with great care because I got it.
  My problem is the following;

  Startup of the laptop is a route very well, but for some reason together and after no set amount of time the display fails
  a wot is visible on-screen is hundreds of tiny colored blocks, sometimes random horizontal lines
  but nothing is readable, at all.

  I tried to run a yellow one also using the video output external monitor, all appear the same.
  a computer display (although I can't check it out) to freeze.

  I replaced the heatsink fan as a precaution (using the new dough)
  the only solution I can find is replaced the ram with
  2 x 256 MB Sync 133 mHz module Samsung. This could be the problem or can anyone shed some light on this for me.

  Thanks in advance
  Display Toshiba SP6000 (?) Problem

  I am not a technician, but I assume that there is probably a problem with the video card. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You should contact the service and make them run tests to verify the functionality of the video card. If the card is faulty, just replacement will help.

• Satellite Pro M10 - location of the mini-pci slot?

  Hello

  I have a M10 Pro of the Satellite with a mini-PCI Intel Pro 2100. Now, I wanted to put in a new card, but I can't find the mini-pci slot? I opened all the way down, but there nothing. Where is it located and what is the best way to open the laptop? I guess a lot of screws must come out...

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know the mini-PCI card is under the keyboard. In this case, you will need to remove the unit covers. But if you open Notepad, you will lose the warranty.
  In my opinion, you should contact the ASP for help and detailed descriptions.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro M10: What is the max possible CPU

  What is the maximum possible processor to use in this laptop? Thank you!

  The laptop has one of the following processors, which includes 64KB
  L1 cache and 1 MB cache L2:

  Processor Intel Pentium M 1.3 GHz
  Processor Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz
  Processor Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz
  Processor Intel Pentium M 1.6 GHz

  Generally, it should be able to use one of the processors listed above. But I read in this forum that Toshiba does not support updates and so you could upgrade the processor only at your own risk!

• Satellite Pro M10 P - M 1.3 problems of modems

  I had frozen online when a dial with the modem internal. Cursor froze, programs froze and the task manager would not start icons were both glowing as if sending data modem. I finally pulled the cable modem (icond indicating always send data) and had to power down with the Start button.
  After what happened the recognition of tonality was intermittent and more freeze ups occurred. Finally after doing everything that can be made including replacement drivers, new dial-up connections that I was convinced that it was related software run with a full recovery. Unfortunately, this did not help and I'm starting to think that the modem card has been wiped out. I use Norton Internet Security and I have tried with this option disabled, but this made no difference.
  Sometimes the diagnoses in the Device Manager will read the modem and other times I get error 603 «modem already in use...» "other times I get error 000005aa, but Device Manager still has"no conflict message.
  I am now using a PCMCIA card and try the internal modem that sometimes connects and then goes into freeze mode or deletes the line from time to time. When I stop after trying the internal modem I get quite often the message 'TMEEJM_WND' not repsonding.
  Before you go in get another modem card can anyone suggest anything else. Thanks in advance.

  Hi frank,.

  I think your assessment of the State of your internal modem is correct. As you have tried a complete reinstall of the recovery CD, then it must be the case that the modem is indeed broken.

  If the laptop is still within its warranty period then I suggest contacting a Service partner to fix it. If the warranty has expired so why not continue to use the PCMCIA card as a cheaper option.

• 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?

• 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 Fn + F5 does not not after login?

  Im hoping someone can help me. IM totally confused.
  Im a projector off a Satellite Pro M10 running. The Fn + F5 works perfectly all the way up to the CTRL - ALT - DELETE prompt. Even at this stage, I can still Fn - F5 and look through the settings. As soon as I connect the FN - F5 does nothing? I deleted all monitors, reinstalled the video card with the latest driver and installed the key utility function of the device from the website?
  I guess it must be something with the display settings once the user connects, but I can't get out? I tried to take the setting down to the basic 16-bit and 800 x 600, but it makes no difference?
  Any help or pointers would be helpful?
  Thank you
  Mark

  Hello

  Sorry, but tells you is a little confuse.
  The FN + F5 combination allows to switch between display devices. You can choose an external monitor, TV etc.
  If you want to use the FN keys, you need to install the driver Toshiba display Utility (change of display device) and change the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

  These two applications are responsible of the correctly using the FN + F5 option.
  The graphic display driver has nothing to do with the FN + F5 keys.

• 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

• Satellite pro M10: CPU cooler problems

  Hello
  I am using a Satellite pro M10 1.5 G.
  The cooler cpu or fan, makes a strange noise. It seems that some module between the wheels of a bike. It's very annoying. The pc is not so quiet as it was before.

  What can I do?

  Hello

  It sounds like there is something caught in the cooling that is contagious fans the fan blades. Visually check the fans through the aspiration air grills to see if you can see what it is.

  Unfortunately access to all fans will involve some disassembly so I would try to suck debris on the grids of aspiration of fan with a vacuum cleaner.

  If the problem persists, it may be necessary to take the unit to a Service Agent authorized to check/replace cooling fans.

• 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

• 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 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.

  Hello

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