  Hello

  From your description, I think your device overheat and go down because he cannot be cooled properly. P 10 satellite is older and it's time to clean up. You can't imagine how much dust inside the unit you will find.

  I put t know how are you familiar with this, but if you have no experience don t do it alone.

• Satellite P10 554 does not start

  Hello!

  First of all, sorry for my bad English

  The problem:

  I installed windows XP Professional on my Satellite P10 554.
  I bought it on ebay and the seller said that everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

  But after installing XP, it does not start!
  It is the boot screen with the blue line that moves. This line moves a little, that it stop and that all the time and nothing happens!
  I tried the same thing with XP home, and windows 2000, but it has the same problem!
  I really need this phone. I hope someone can help me!

  > I bought it on eBay and the seller said that if everything goes well with this laptop and the tests when I turn on the laptop saying the same thing.

  You said that the test says it of ok. How did you test it?

  > It's the boot screen with the blue line that moves.

  You mean the OS bar which moves while loads the OS. Am I wrong?
  Hmm, if you have tested the laptop with Win XP and W2K then I guess that you have installed the two OS on this laptop and it was possible to install it?
  Am I wrong?

  Sorry to say but if the laptop is unable to load the operating system the hardware would be a malfunction.
  I think you should first check the memory modules, then the HARD drive. Maybe one of the modules does not work correctly or some bad sectors can cause the problem.

• Satellite P10 554 LAN wireless connection

  Hello people,

  I have a laptop Satellite P10 554. I'm not able to get the wireless LAN. I have a Netgear wireless modem and a Netgear USB wireless "receiver". I have configured the entire setup and switched 'on' switch wireless on the left side of the laptop. Nothing happened. The light on the left side on the laptop that shows the availability of the wireless network never radiated.

  I have installed and inserted into the mobile network.

  Please advise on how should I proceed to get the wireless LAN working.

  Thank you in advance.
  Matel

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Wireless LAN is optional on this unit. This means that the appliance has been delivered without wireless card, but it s can put the card in the laptop.
  Are you sure that your device has a wireless card? You can check in the Device Manager. In addition, must be on the wireless network by using the switch on the side of the laptop and the key combination FN + F8.

  Please check these options.

• Windows 7 on Satellite P10 554, need drivers

  Hello
  I installed a new Windows 7 on my Satellite P10 554.
  Now I can not find some drivers for my device, in particular for the USB device,
  who stands out, if I use an external hard drive.
  In addition, I got an error code 28 for the base systemdevice (to 2 PCI bus) and
  the performances of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor', who is not the driver ACPI/CMP0101
  compatible with W7.
  What else can I do?

  Thanks for the reply

  Hallo Lupi

  I had Satellite P10 for the year 2003. So please don't get me wrong, but you have 6 years book, designed for Windows XP Home edition and now you ask you cannot find drivers for Win7.

  What you can do? Nothing. This oldie is not supported for Win7.
  Use the operating system that is supported and to be happy. If you want to use a more recent software I think it's time for the most recent material. ;)

  Satellite P10 is also really nice and absolutely reliable laptop.

• Satellite P10 - 554 dvd - ram does not work

  I got a Satellite P10 554, and as I said above the RAM does not work.
  It should be a software problem, because if I reinstall the drivers it works a few minutes (it did until now yesterday it stopped completely)
  It is impossible to install the new drivers or update a firmware somehow
  (pilot: after rebooting, the old drivers are loaded again (but I uninstalled them))
  (firmware update: I still got the message: invalid drive to update f/w)

  I hope that someone of you can help me ;)

  Hello

  What did you mean with the work of t car doesn?
  You are not able to burn or read the media?

  The error message says it all. I think you re not able to update the firmware because the firmware is not supported on this drive.

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager, and then shut down the laptop.
  Usually after restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  If this does not help, you can try to remove the drive from the laptop. Turn on the unit, then go into windows. The reader should disappear. Then stop and reset the drive in the notebook. After this procedure the laptop must load the firmware again.

  It will be useful.

• BIOS update allows the use of modules of 2 GB RAM DDR on Satellite P10 554?

  Are there any - update Bios, that allows 2 GB kits?
  Thank you very much!

  Ron

  Hello Ron

  The same situation with my P20! Unfortunately there is no BIOS update allows the use of the RAM more.

• Satellite P10: Controller USB and IEEE 1394 do not work after WXP re - install

  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

  I recently reinstalled WXP home on my satellite p10 computer laptop and then installed all drivers and utilities from the support CD that follows with Notepad.

  Everything works except for USB and Firewire.
  Very strange screen system shows me that I have bad driver for usb controller, but when I run the utility chipset problem remains. I even downloaded the drivers on the Toshiba support home page in the hope that it would be a different version and they would work, but nada... same problem persists.

  Someone knows how to solve this problem, or what is suitable driver for the controller USB on satellite p10 554 and where can I find this driver (without the entire chipset utility?)

  Thank you in advance for your help!
  David

  Hello

  the funny thing is that USB is IN the chipset. The problem is that you can extract some drivers you need, given that utilities chipset intel are a complete set.

  So, I suggest you go to the website of intel (www.intel.com) and then download the chipset utility. Don t forget to update your windows (Service pack, updates, bugfixes) because the operating system has sometimes problems with the hardware installed, then an update will solve this...

  I hope that you have little luck with the original software of the chipset intel.
  Give a few comments after completing the makings and let us know if it worked.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10 554: broken inverter and market

  Dear Group,

  in recent weeks, I have massive probs with my p10 554 (2 years +).
  The converter to display is broken and the display for the most part remains dark. No big problems so far, as the laptop is my secondary computer, not connected to a monitor. But: since this inverter quit working properly, I noticed, that the machine has problems starting...

  By pressing the button WE're now more often without any effect on the system, ways, it feeds on. DC current, battery and leds are working properly, the two are lit in green, the battery is fully charged and DC is good.

  I followed a little guide assistance procedures, but none of them has fixed the problem.

  Sometimes - I don't see any chronological rule in this behavior - the power on works, but when I pass the laptop turned off later, I couldn't immediately turn it back to the.

  Q: has the inverter broken some influence on the market, and if so, how can I bypass it? Or I have two problems here (a circuit feeding broke apart a broken inverter) and need to have some repair teacher.?

  Thanks for any advice,
  FIU

  Hello

  a broken inverter should not have any influence on turn on/off the laptop.
  This problem can have several causes. So I think the best way would be to leave the machine to be checked by a service technician.
  And by the way, you can only get a new inverter of a service partner.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10-304: replacing a WLan card - can I the same WiFi chip?

  Hi all

  got a satellite P10-304 of a companion here.
  He said the free thread never worked on it and hes had it years and someone else has already looked at and changed the TNA wireless card.

  Basically, she acts only as the wireless switch does not work and it remains permanently off the coast, although the drivers install correctly and map also shows ok. Simply disconnected.

  Now, I thought, okay, I'll take a look because I'm pretty good on the old hardware. Has taken apart and this you know, switch has been bent and not up. I handed the place, checked the switch and stop positions with a multimeter to check the switch worked and he was doing his job perfectly.

  Now it still doesn't.
  I guess it is now due to the fact that as I said, the map has been changed since its origin to a processor intel pro jobby.

  My question is, I'm right, do I just need to get the same card that was originally in it. I assumed that when the switch is set correct return, that I solved it.

  Hello

  The WiFi card must be activated bu switching the switch TO the position (the LED must illuminate) and in addition, you should choose the WLan antenna using the FN + F8 key combination.

  Please check this!

  Notes; go to Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card
  There you can check if the WiFi is enabled as well.

• Satellite P10 PSP10E shutdown and the light stays on

  Hello

  I'm having some problems with my old man (2004) Satellite P10 PSP10E-0SCM7-FR

  One day he simply closed (as if power, no BSOD) and the power and the led for WIFI and the CD/DVD button remains lit.

  Most of the time I can't activate it under as the power button is still on. (Power button, WIFI, and CD/DVD are on).

  I tried to remove the battery and unplug the computer for at least 30mm
  I tried to press the Start button for a period of time (one minute) then disconnect everyting (battery and power cord) at least 30 minutes before to turn it back on
  I have reinitialzed the computer using history CD provided with the computer
  I removed the radiator cleaned as well as the fan and then replace a new thermal grease
  I changed the memory

  Yet I still have the same problem, for some reason, the computer simply shutdown and the light stays on. Occasionally, the power light start, and I am able to restart the computer. But I'm unable to understand what makes the computer is shut down, or when that happens, what makes the power light turns off and make it possible to start the computer again.

  No idea what's going on?
  The Start button / stop and led market would be an error message?
  If so, what that means?

  Any help is very appreciated. Thank you!

  lighting even when taking the battery and unpliging for a while (30mm in an hour)

  Hello

  Usually, books closed due to the high temperature and in this case, the unit must be disassembled and cleaned professionally, but it seems that you already have what I read in your post above.

  Probably its a motherboard problem.
  The RAM modules appear to be checked and is not RAM issue.
  So problem mobo is possible

• Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

  I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

  Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

  I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

  Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

  I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

  I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Tom

  Hello

  I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
  As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

  For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
  Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

  I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
  But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop

• Questions about Satellite P10 554

  Hello

  I have 2 questions about my P10-554. I read on this forum but can't find anything that helps out me.

  First of all:
  When I try to turn the unit off after working, using even the closing of xp function or the power button, windows normally quit, but when it needs to turn off just reboot again. If I repeat the closing down directly after this restart, normally it turns off.
  This problem occur only when I use the power supply in battery mode.
  I can't say that to me...

  Second:
  I have a mini PCI Wlan card for my unit, works very well, but I wonder if it is possible to get the Wlan switch switch work whith it? Or is it only possible whith some special maps? It is not so important, but it would be nice to know if there is a trick or something to get the switch used.

  Best regards
  Gabbagandalf

  Hello

  Regarding your first question;
  I'm a bit confused of m are sure you n t use the restart option?
  I never noticed anything like that on my laptop

  Usually, if I use the Shut down option, I can choose between standby, hibernation, restart and shutdown. If I use the stop that the laptop turns off as it should.
  Maybe it's time to s for a reinstallation of the OS?

  On the second question.
  The switch on the left side for laptop was designed and developed to pass on the WLan card antenna.
  Usually, you should be able to use this switch and to toggle WLan card functionality

  Don t understand why it should not work?  :|

• Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

  After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

  Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

  The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

  Hello

  Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.
