Error message "bad check sum" on Satellite pro 6100 when starting up

I recently tried to turn my laptop on when i got the message "bad check sum"(i think it said that) "check system press[f1] to continue. After i pressed f1 it came up an options screen i didnt do anything to it and just continued then it loaded and shut down again. also i have to lie the laptop on its back just for the first green LED to come on and when i have the battery in the charger does not charge the battery and even when it does start to charge and i try to put it on the same sequence of orange LED's appear .
so what does the message bad check sum mean ?
thanks

Hi,
That means that the cmos (bios) battery is low on power and you should hang your machine for minimum a day on AC because the bios battery loads then.
Such error appears when your cmos batt. is not full then the bios losts his settings and the checksum which would be performed by the system at startup will be faulty since the bios needs a check to know if everything is OK.
Its a security feature which indicates if your hardware is ok or not. If the error appears more than once, then you should bring your machine to a technician or at least a local servicepartner for a checkup.

  • Firefox 4 screwed up, I returned to earlir version & error message re Chrom comes up 8 times now when starting Firefox. how can I fix?

    Firefox 4 lost my bookmarks sidebar, started my home page with Yahoo finance in a strange place on Yahoo and generally gave me fits. I ran the install on an earlier version of Firefox which works great after I click on an error message eight times to get Firefox to start. The error box said Chrome Registration Failed the text in the box said "Firefox could not install this item because of Chrome Registration. Please contact the author about this problem." I felt comfortable with version 3.8??? and Firefox 4 isn't comfortable for me and now the earlier version is messed up. How do I get back into my comfort zone. My computer experience started with Heath Disk Operating System, CPM, Windows 1 through 7. I don't like Firefox 4 or Chrome internet browsers. Windows IE caused problems early on with virus and male ware.

    Is it still showing up in your ad-on manager?

  • Satellite Pro 6100 wont start up

    when i power up my laptop, the toshiba start up page shows, then the cursor blinks in the top left corner then nothing.
    is it a virus?
    Has any one got any ideas?

    Hi!
    Thanks for your replies, they were much appreciated.
    The reason I have taken so long to reply was that I am living in Spain and my recovery disc was still in the UK!!!
    Now for my next question, if I install the recovery disc, will I lose all my files or is there a way I can recover these using my other laptop or can I use a boot disc in my floppy drive or in another disc drive.
    Any help would be great

    Just got off the phone with apple support.  If the photo book completes the assembly process but fails during the upload process the problem is in their overloaded servers.They just started a free shipping promotion for the holidays which has increased the traffic dramatically. I bought a calendar a week ago and it went right through. I'm going to try again during less peak times.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - "Built-in HDD Password" error at startup

    Hi, my laptop (Satellite Pro 6100 P4-M 1.7 GHz/15TFT/256MB/40GB/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi/BT/W2K or XP) has rather recently started prompting me with a message "Built-in HDD Password" at boot up. I've never set any passwords on the hard disk in the past, though in desperation of trying to get the laptop running, have tried all the possible passwords that I've ever had. Nothing's working, and I am stranded with a dead laptop on my hands. I would appreciate any help/advice that anyone can render.
    Thanks.

    Hi Khurram,
    Sadly I think you will need to replace your hard drive. If your notebook is definitely asking for a hard drive password then there is no way of bypassing this and the only way that I know of recovering this situation is to send the hard drive to a specialist company who specialise in this kind of recovery (usually for forensic puposes, Police, armed forces, etc.). This can prove quite expensive.
    The easiest (and cheapest) option would be for you to replace the hard drive and then restore your system and data (either from a backup if you have one, or else from the Toshiba recovery discs).
    regards,

  • SWL order Error message on monitor 'Sum of % 200.0 exceeds 100%'

    Dear all,
    i am getting the following error for shop with limit order.
    User has created A SWL PO with all identical data like vendor, Pur org, product category and only description change for 2 lines. Its showing only one PO which is in 'Error in Process' .
    How can a cart with two lines convert into a 2 line PO ?? as per standard SRM it should create 2 different PO.
    Noted that Error message in monitors reads 'Sum of %>200.0<exceeds 100%' in RZ20.
    Line 1 reset. Sent to for approval. Ran resubmission process - did not work
    Error in process. Error message in monitors 'Sum of %>200.0<exceeds 100%'>

    Hi,
    I think that the error is with the backend system which cannot handle 2 limits for one PO...
    There is an OSS note...
    Kind regards,

    there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and  make sure its working.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series - error message -Bad image windows\system 32\d3d 10 warp.dll

    I use the HP Deskjet 3050A J611 series printer with my laptop and a desktop PC.  It works fine with the laptop but when I installed the software onto the desktop the window error message Bad Image Windows\ System 32\d3d 10 warp.dll kept popping up every few minutesd.  By a process of ilimination I discovered that it was the Photo Creations that was causing the problems, when I removed it all was good and I was able to use the printer.  The only problems is that I now cannot print photos from my pc.  I have windows 7.
    Can anyone help please?

    Hi Chris.
    That error message comes from Direct3D, which is part of the DirectX software in Windows. It appears that part of the DirectX environment on your computer is corrupt. Microsoft provides a diagnostic tool that should help you sort this out. Please see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/run-directx-diagnostic-tool
    If that does not solve the issue, you may want to reinstall the device driver for your graphics adapter.
    When all's running smoothly, you can reinstall HP Photo Creations to print again. Our customer support team would be happy to help with the reinstallation. You can reach them at www.hp.com/global/us/en/consumer/digital_photography/free/software/support-form.html
