  After update the latest driver bluetooth (version 3 July 2005), the bluetooth Manager will not start at all: a saying "TosBtMne.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" error message, and no bluetooth services are available.

• Satellite 5100 503 - I need a new graphics card

  My 5100-503 Satellite picture shows scrambled during the start especially when the computer is hot.
  The sound breaks also.

  He was diagnosed as a problem of display card. The card has a chip from nVidia GeForce4 440 Go.
  What is the equivalent card available on the market or any reliable source?

  As far as I know the graphic card cannot be exchanged. It s soldered onto the motherboard and so you need a new mainboard.
  Are you sure it's a graphics card problem? You have the same problem on an external monitor? Check it!

  Maybe the laptop gets to hot, so try to clean with a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust.

• Driver update for Satellite 5100 503 with NVIDIA geforce4 440 Go

  Hello there,
  It is a German call...
  I need an update of the graphics driver to a computer laptop toshiba satellite 5100 503, the nvidia geforce4 440 Go, that you can't get on the nvidia site, where have no mobile system to get.
  My laptop is quite slow. I want just to speed up its performance.
  Thank you outthere

  This old laptop model is certainly not longer supported and you do not find an update on the Toshiba support page. What you can do is to look around to find the laptop with the same graphics card, but maybe with newer driver and try to install it.

  Can you please tell us why you need more graphics performance? For games?

  Do you know if I can replace the drive for a DVD burner? And if yes - which model?

  Hi Piotr,

  You can replace your new CD burner with vurtually any DVD burner that is the same physical size, but you should make sure that the new Recorder has a set-up similar to your current drive configuration.

  In general, the reader will be configured as Master, Slave and Cable Select (Csel), by the manufacturer and must match the configuration of your current player. One of the tools of Nero will show you the current drive configuration.

  Unfortunately, most retailers do not show configuration and with slim-line readers, there is no DIP switch that allows you to change it.

  Kind regards

• Help! Satellite 5100 - 503 has stopped working!

  Hello!
  I have a Satellite 5100 503 and was really satisfied until yesterday.
  Now it has stopped working.
  What I did: closed the laptop after work (everything is ok) and it only stems for a while. When I opened the laptop again to continue working, nothing happened.
  Only the small frontdisplay showed me a spinning CD (no CD inserted) and battery light. After pressing the button on the sur-signe appeared, but nothing happened again. By pressing the button again (a few seconds), do go away on-sign. No display, no fan, no noise of hard disk in any case (ono/stop). Insert an audio CD and works by pessing the play button! Soundsystem works well.

  Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
  questions? more info needed? Thanks for asking!

  Help, please
  Günther

  Hello Guenther,

  have you tried to remove the battery for about 5 to 10 minutes! It seems that the laptop is unable to start the file hibernation to start windows. You can also try to push the button to start for 5 seconds.

• Need motherboard for Satellite 5100 503

  My satellite had Coke for the first time, did not like it. He cleaned up but it is still heats and stops. If someone has a bad 5100-503 with motherboard probably ok, I would like to make an offer for it.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The new motherboard is very expensive. Motherboard and display are the larger parts of mobile!
  I think that he no sense to buy a new Board of Directors for this oldie!
  If you want you can order it from the Toshiba authorized service provider

  But I recommend buying a second hand Satellite 5100 or Board of Directors of Ebay.

• Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

  Hey all,.

  I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

  Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

  I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

  The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

  I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

  When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

  What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

  Help!

  Hi Jamie,

  Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

  If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

  Kind regards

• Problems of restoration Satellite 5100 503

  Hi all
  I have a Toshiba Satellite 5100 503, and its hard drive has malfunctiond, so I had to replace it with a new, but now I can't use the restore CD I got with the computer.
  Could someone help me with this?
  Thanks in advance.

  > but continues to load windows
  How laptop computer can load windows if the new HARD drive is not contains a BONE?
  Or have you installed the Win operating system on any other way?

  To me, it seems that the laptop does not start on the recovery CD.
  The drive cannot read recovery CD because of the fault of CD or disk failure.

  Have you checked whether it of possible to boot from another bootable CD s?

  Tip: try to set the BIOS default and safe settings. Then turn on the laptop and press F12 immediately after starting the laptop. The start menu should appear and you should be able to choose the CD as a boot device.

• Usb 2.0 PCMCIA on my Satellite 5100 503 problem

  I have a 5100-503 Satellite laptop, now I bought a PCMCIA USB 2.0 for a 60 GB external hard drive. The problem is that:
  a key memory work correctly with the pcmcia card
  drive hard work slow but with usb 1.1
  hard drive is not recognized by the pcmcia card

  Could someone help me?

  Hello

  I also use card PCMCIA USB 2.0 (scanner) in my old machine and I have no problem. As said Rudi it may be the problem of the map you are using.

  I don't know, but there may be a power supply for external HARD disk problem. I also have a strange problem. I use two external hard drives. One is 30 GB and 60 GB one another. If I connect them on my old 30 GB HDD just Satellite 1900 works well. I suspect that the cotyledon need more energy.

• Satellite 5100 503: change the HARD drive and start questions

  My hard drive in my Satellite 5100 broke down and I want to change it.

  According to various posts in the forum, it is not possible to start the 5100 from a CD when there is a (new) hard drive in the machine. And the only way to change the boot sequence is via Windows - what does more - there is no other way to change the settings of the BIOS within Windows.

  I looked in the manual - I find no mention after pressing F12 C or any other combination to change the boot sequence (of course I tried yet without result). The only thing I found possible is to press ESC + F1 for BIOS settings default _restore_. And turning the power on by pressing on the left of the space bar gives me the opportunity to Flash a new BIOS.

  Is this really so? Because that would mean I'm stuck. And in this case I will just save the money for the new hard drive and throw my laptop... (and probably by another brand next time - but I sincerely hope that is not so much...)

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards
  Thomas

  Nice. ;)
  To my knowledge, it was always possible to boot from the CD. Also, after replacing the HARD drive

• Satellite 5100-503 "locked" maybe BIOS

  I had recently bought a new HARD drive because of problems in the previous, then the HDD have nothing in it. But when I thought everything was fixed, I discovered a new problem.
  Whenever I turn on the computer a try to access the boot priority to choose the CD-ROM drive (F12) so I can install the system, nothing happens.
  I've tried different combinations, C (on CD-ROM), DEL, F2, F1,... nothing happens.
  There is however a weird thing: if I disable (OFF), and then ON again, with ESC key, the LCD screen ask password. I don't even know if I never put a password... I tried a lot of letters and words, and 'x' works; a message appears: press [F1] key for the default setting, I press F1 and the system runs until she reach the HARD drive:
  Insert system disk in drive
  Press any key when ready...
  pressing on, repeating the message

  If I turn on the computer without using the Esc and use Esc when the TOSHIBA logo appears, do not ask for password, just for the message: press [F1] key for the default setting
  and while loop...

  The new HARD drive, it is a HITACHI 160 GB and I know the problem is not from the disk

  I already did a search and I think its something in the BIOS, but I don't know about you.
  I'd appreciate any help you could give.

  I don't think that the 5100 has a BIOS screen. All you can do is to reset the default values.

  If its say "Insert system disk", it means that the operating system has not been installed, or there is a problem with the boot sector.

  I don't know what the maximum size of HARD drive is for the 5100, but 160GB may be too big. It may be limited to the limitation of LBA48 128 GB (http://www.48bitlba.com).

  In any case, hold 'C' for the POST should get it to boot from the CD. Unless the CD-ROM drive is defective.

  Hello

  What is the new HARD disk?
  As far as I know, this unit was delivered with a 40 GB HARD drive.
  If the new HARD drive is bigger, then maybe the BIOS have some problems to recognize the HARD drive.
