• Satellite Pro 6100: cursor moves out of control on the screen

  Hey guys,.

  I'm seriously going crazy right about now... my problem is the following:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, Windows XP Professional with SP2, memory: 512 MB.

  About two weeks ago my cursor began to move up and down whenever I pressed the space bar. It has gotten worse since. My cursor moves out of control across the screen (there are usually in the upper right or lower left) and I can not recover. I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my external mouse (optical), because this problem also occurs when I use my pointing device. Even in safe mode.

  The thing I've tried:
  Ran Spybot: Search and Destroy
  Ran Adaware
  Xoftspy RAN
  A ran Symantic Antivirus 10 (complete analysis of the system in safe mode)
  New keyboard
  New motherboard

  Nothing helps. I'm this close to format my pc. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I put t he understand. You have changed the keyboard and the motherboard, but you did not recover the OS with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  The first procedure that you should do is the new installation of the OS before you change or replace anything on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why it occurs. A friend of mine has a similar problem with the cursor. The cursor has jumped on the screen and it was not possible to open applications. It has (or service) resolved with the replacement of keyboard.

  If the new installation OS doesn't fix this strange cursor, so I recommend you contact Toshiba.

  Hi Liam

  Hmmm... I think it s not a Council but the battery of the CCF.
  Take a look in the user manual. There you should find something that exactly the message is displayed if the battery RTC (BIOS) is not charged.

  The RTC battery, you must connect the power adapter and should run the laptop for about 24 hours.
  After that the main battery has been charged, then the RTC battery starts to load.

  It will take a little longer.

• Date system invalid in Armada E500 - bad RTC battery?

  After you unplug the AC adapter and remove the main battery to an Armada E500 laptop to replace a damaged LCD screen, I rebooted the computer and received a message from Windows XP, saying the date system and the time were not valid. I tried to set the date and time, turn off the computer, remove the adapter and the main battery for a few minutes, and then start the computer again and once more the date system and the time were not valid. Is this normal? If this isn't the case, it means more or less unequivocally that the RTC battery is bad? Or y at - it a good way to test if the problem is a faulty battery of the CCF, short all just buy a new one and see if it solves the problem?

  Yes... the battery is bad... and you can test it and see if the viltage is in spec... but replace it with the sounds of it...

  because the battery is usually only good for appox 5 years... they can go any longer... and this laptop is on the mark of 5 years

• Satellite Pro 6100: message "RTC bad battery appears, check CMOS.

  When I move my 6100 SP it freezes, and then when it is restarted the message "bad RTC battery is displayed, check CMOS. I also noticed that when the machine hangs the fan operates at high speed and the bottom of the machine and the keyboard gets very hot.
  Need your advice.

  Hello

  Did you change or replace the RTC battery?
  The error message looks like a death or a bad RTC battery.
  You should try to charge the battery (plug the AC adapter / CC)
  Try to enter the BIOS setup and check all options. You can set the BIOS default settings.
  Check if it helps. If it's not, so I guess there is something wrong with the RTC battery and it should be changed.

• How to clean the cooling on Satellite Pro 6100 module?

  Since my laptop for some reason stop (explained in my last post), I read messages from others who are similar to my problem and some of the responses that they was that they must clean the cooling with a vacuum (vacuum) module.

  So I was wondering how to clean it and where is it? (I m not an expert on computers)

  Hello
  I am not owner of a Satellite Pro 6100 but I saw this laptop on several pictures and it seems that the fans are placed at the rear near the CC.
  If you try to vacuum dust and debris from these grids of fans.

  I found also found a very detailed instruction how to remove and open the Satellite Pro 6100. http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba6100/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro6100_dismantle_1.htm

  BUT if you have no experience, you must do it yourself. The best way to ask someone who knows what to do!

• Satellite Pro 6100 - how to change the date and time in the BIOS

  Hello

  I received a satellite pro 6100 that had not been used for some time. Windows does not work then he reinstalled with the good drive.

  When I try and windows 'enable', I get the error 32777 and the laptop is unable to connect with the activation servers that a google leads to believe me that the date and time are incorrect in the bios.

  I know that Press esc to access the bios but there is no option to change the date and time in there. I put the date / the correct time in windows, but this does not seem to synchronize with the bios. I've updated to the latest version of the bios, but this is not enough.

  How can I change or update the time in the bios?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt this time and date setting BIOS does affect Windows activation time Windows doesn t affect it in my opinion. There must be another reason for this problem.
  You can activate Windows by phone?

  Normally the date and time in the BIOS can change you if you mark the date or time, and then press on + or - to change this. Sometimes you have to press PageDown/to the top according to the model of BIOS or laptop.
  Usually in the configuration of the BIOS you will find a brief info how changing the values.

• [u] [b] Satellite pro 6100 + external projector problems [/ b] [/ u]

  Dear friends,

  I am trying to solve this problem:

  When I connect to the satellite Pro 6100 a 3rd party bCool XG1 DLP projector (a very good) I can see everything fine except DVD.

  I better explain: I can see the movies on the screen of the laptop, but nothing on the wall...

  Notice that I can look at these files directly on the screen, but on the wall...:
  MPEG files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  AVI files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);
  MOV files (Quick time Yes, but not WinmediaPlayer);

  DVD: (With Intervideo Windvd) Ok on the screen, but no output from the projector.

  Note that if I use the small window mode, the projector output image is correct except inside the window that is displayed in black (but is OK on the screen of the laptop).

  Who can help me?

  Thanks in advance.

  Stefano

  Hi Stefanohf,

  When you pass the output mode you have with keys FN and F5?

  also what settigs are set in the display driver? Right click on desktop, properties and parameters.

  go to advanced and nView. There should be active clone!

  Try this!

• Satellite Pro 6100 does not recognize the single battery external power

  Whenever I have start Satellite Pro 6100 Win XP Pro with standard battery mounted and connected to the power supply computer laptop does not recognize the ext battery supply single supply and during 'start-up' goes into hibernation.

  By pressing the power on button laptops "wake up" and indicate that the battery is empty or may not even decide when completely loaded, then says connect the station even if still connected, looking under Toshiba console when it runs shows running on battery when still in the power of the ext?

  I have two batteries and both give the above symptoms even when I remove ext of laptop power always runs with power supply by battery but no light orange or green for battery.
  Any ideas?
  Concerning
  Phil

  Hello

  Is your AC adapter malfunctions or there is something wrong with the power supply to electronic s laptop.
  In the first case you could purchase a new compatible AC adapter and could check if the laptop can run successfully.
  The second possibility is a serious hardware problem, but in this case, the laptop must be checked by an authorized technician.

• Satellite Pro 6100 - after updating the BIOS, it does not

  Hello

  I am trying to upgrade my old of Satellite Pro 6100.

  I started to upgrade the Bios via download from Toshiba (using WIN) site - OK downloaded zip files and installed, machine then stops. Problem, it does not restart - it's so now I have a laptop 'death' that is not responding to any key I tried.

  Any suggestions of resuscitation?

  Already I've updated from XP to SP2.

  Thank you

  Paul

  Hello

  It sounds like that the BIOS update has failed and your laptop can start t again. But try this workaround:
  Remove the AC adapter and the battery and then wait an hour. After that reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Try to start the laptop.

  If it doesn t work I think that the motherboard needs to be replaced or you go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can reflash the ROM module
  But maybe you can find a motherboard of second hand cheap on eBay

  Good bye

• How to remove the bios password on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello
  I got this Satellite Pro 6100, I would like to install windows xp on it, somehow once I opened it, it's just a black screen with the password.
  I removed the hard drive and I was able to access it with my computer, means that the password is not for the hard drive, but rather the bios.
  What is the password of the bios? How can I reset it? I removed the Green battery which I think it is the RTC battery, it would make? How long should I wait for the settings to be reset to zero?
  Y at - it no jumpers to reset the bios... ?
  I don't know what my son used a password, so I need help with this...

  Is it possible to kill the bios settings... ?

  Thank you

  Hello

  It seems that the machine has a BIOS password. And it seems that there are only 3 options:

  1 Google for the procedure how to remove a BIOS password
  2. ask your son for the password
  3. send your machine to an authorized servicepartner and allow them to remove the password, which means that you pay money for it.

  It's now quite a few years I have a * Satellite Pro 6100 *. I recently had the following problem.

  When I press the power button to turn the computer into the AC power light starts flashing orange light (flashes come in groups of eight, the second and eighth flash are longer). Nothing else happens: the computer is dead as a brick. To stop the flashing, I have to disconnect the main power supply and remove the battery.

  Hello

  I put t think you will be able to do anything that would bring back the laptop from the dead.

  According to your description books sends a flashing error code that appears always if a motherboard error has been detected.

  In your case only an ASP might help you.

  First, the technician would be able to read the code and then to know what part is malfunctioning.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard must be replaced; (and this could be a costly affair.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro 6100 - problem starting (light flashing Orange)

  On my laptop Satellite Pro 6100, seeing DC IN (first on the left) flashes orange and the laptop does nothing else (no display or sound). The light flashes for 8 times, has a long pause and then starts all over again.

  I tried a different adapter with no joy. It does the same thing if you use only the battery and if you run from the adapter without the battery.

  The only time wherever it shows a different light is when you take the battery out, put back in and hold the power button. Led Slim Select Bay (second right) briefly turns green, but it turns off and the led DC IN resumption of the orange blink.

  It seems likely that it is an internal hardware problem (power supply, motherboard, etc.). Does anyone have any ideas? And as anyone knows anywhere which lists all the different orange light codes for Toshiba laptops?

  Hi André,.

  You are right in thinking that there is a hardware failure (most likely your motherboard). Flashing codes are used by service technicians to indicate the nature of the fault and I have yet to find anywhere who publishes the real meaning of these codes.

  I think it looks like a trip to the nearest Service Agent. :-(
