Satellite P10-804: Toshiba Power Options - How to disable Hibernation

Model SP10 - 804
How do I disable the Hibernation feature ?
The box 'Enable Hibernation' is ticked and greyed so I cannot untick it !
I don't use this feature and would like to delete the file hiberfil.sys which is over 1GB.
I understand that by disabling Hibernation this file should delete. I read about it here:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/tips/hiberfil-sys-xp.html
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I presume the Toshiba Power saver utility was installed on your system.
In such case the Windows own power options are disabled and the TPS controls the hibernation and standby mode.
You can switch back to the window power mode in the control panel -> power options.
There you have to choose to another power scheme as the Toshiba power saver.
Otherwise you can remove the TPS from the system!
However, in my opinion the hiberfil.sys has no bad influence on the system and it's really not necessary to delete this file.
On my system the file size was never ever 1GB.

  • Satellite P10-804: How to remove the HDD?

    I'd like to remove the 60Gb internal hard drive from my satellite P10-804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot figure out how to get inside the case to remove the HDD.
    Does anyone have details on how to do this?

    Hi
    In my knowledge the HDD must be placed under the optical dirve.
    To remove the HDD, first remove the battery pack and optical drive, then follow the steps below:
    1. Remove four black screws securing the aluminum shield covering the HDD and lift it out.
    2. Gently pull the HDD toward the computers front panel to disconnect it from the system board, then lift it out.
    3. Remove the four silver screws that secure the HDD case to the HDD.
    But be careful. If you have no experiences ask someone with more experience in such replacements.

  • Satellite P10-804 wireless card upgrade

    Hi,
    Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10-804 but can't find any.
    The the current wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC but it doesnt do the 802.11G standard and no WPA security.
    Anyone know of what are good replacement cards that will work on my laptop?
    Ive come across this one but Im not sure if it is compatible or not as I can't find any compatibility info for it: PA3416U-1MPC
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi
    I think the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
    I mean the notebook supports the miniPCI Wlan card and the PA3416U-1MPC is a miniPCI Wlan card.
    The WLan antenna behind the notebooks screen should be connected to the connectors placed on miniPCI WLan card.
    The two connectors are marked with MAIN and AUX. Normally a white cable goes to the MAIN and a black to the AUX

  • Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

    how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
    I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
    Help??

    One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
    However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
    Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

  • Satellite A100 - message: Toshiba Power Saver already started

    When I switch on with mains power connected, I get a false error message which says "Toshiba Power Saver already started".
    How do I get rid of this message permanently?

    Thanks for the response. I removed the Toshiba Power saver software through the Control Panel, no problems. I then downloaded the lastest software from the Toshiba website, a file named PA100-TPwr-Svr-7.00.03-XP.exe . At the completition of loading this program, I received an error message "A fatal error has occurred. The program will be terminated. Code 0x2." Subsequently, everytime I reboot the A100, I get this message. I tried uninstalling the new Toshiba Power saver program but am prevented from doing so by this error message. I also tried going back using thew System Restore but even going back two months, I get a message to say changes cannot be made (reversed). My computer is a model no PSAA8a-0D5010.
    Any hints??

  • Satellite P10-804: HDD Issue SMART WARNING

    When I start up or reboot I get a message:
    SMART: HDD Failure Is Imminent - Back Up And Replace HDD - Press F1 To Continue
    Not the exact wording, though more or less correct.
    This started 3 days ago. Basic online research suggests that the SMART warning system is not always correct.
    1. Is there any software which will check the HDD and correct some errors ?
    2. If I need to replace the HDD, what are the specs it can be replaced with ?
    3. What is the largest Gig size it can take ?
    4. What is the process, after replacement to use the Restore CD ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    In an effort to help users avoid data loss, drive manufacturers are now incorporating logic into their drives that acts as an "early warning system" for pending drive problems. This system is called Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART).
    The hard disk's integrated controller works with various sensors to monitor various aspects of the drive's performance, determines from this information if the drive is behaving normally or not, and makes available status information to software that probes the drive and look at it.
    In your case it is possible that the HDD will be dead early or later.
    The Satellite P10-814 was delivered with a IDE (ATA-5) 60GB HDD 4200rpm .
    I think the 80 GB should also work on the unit but I'm not 100% sure about that.
    After HDD replacing (not very difficult) you should only boot up from the CD.
    Then the notebook will start to install the Toshiba image.

  • Re: Satellite L300-17l - Toshiba Power Saver gives me error after install

    When I bought my L300-17l all drivers from Toshiba drivers download pafe worked ok.
    Recently I reinstalled my XP OS and now I started installing again all the drivers. LAN was ok, WLAN was ok, Display driver was ok.
    But when I get to install Toshiba Power Saver ( URL: [http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/pwrsav-en-20080519172104.zip] ) it gives me this error ( it shows the error either after I click finish on the instalation or before installing has begun, as you can see on this screenshot ) - [http://www.picvalley.net/v.php?p=u/2381/9078672171740560287.JPG]
    I tried later this - i go ot control panel and open Toshiba Power Saver, but then it gives me another error - " CANNOT open because you do not have access rights to use "TOSHIBA Power Saver".
    I reinstalled again my XP and it still gives me this error....I wonder what the problem could be....PLS help me

    Hi
    Satellite L300-17L belongs to the PSLBCE series.
    I chosen this model number and found exactly the same power saver which you have tried to install.
    Therefore I assume you have chosen the right Power Saver Utility for this notebook model.
    But did you install also the Common Module?
    This software should be installed firstly before any other tools installation.
    Did you update the Win XP to the latest state?
    Check this!

  • Satellite P10-804: AC adapter makes loud noises

    The power supply is periodically making terrible noises.
    Can it be replaced with a non Toshiba power adaptor ?
    If yes, is there anything I need to know ?

    Looks like an AC adaptor would be faulty or maybe its only a broken cable.
    However, you should not use an AC adaptor which malfunctions. Its too risky
    So I would recommend using an original Toshiba AC adapter. In such case you are always on the safe side.
    You could use the PA3290U-1ACA AC Adapter 120W with 19V DC output

  • Satellite P10-804: Cannot alter the sound volume control

    The Sound Volume Control on the front of the unit has set itself to far in the whole and cannot be altered.
    Is this something I can fix ?

    I dont know if you can fix it.
    Do you have enough experience to disassemble the notebook?
    Do you have good experience in soldering?
    The volume controller is fixed on the motherboard its not easy to say what happens maybe there are some loose contacts
    I think its better to contact a notebook technician because he has more experience as a common notebook user like me and you!

  • Satellite P10-804 - powering down for no reason

    I have a problem where my laptop suddenly turns itself off for no reason at all. Most of the time it turns itself off as the top left hand corner of my laptop get really warm and it also gets warm around the area where you insert CD's. Although, sometimes, it can just go off after Ive only had it switched on a few minutes.
    Some suggestions tell me there could be a problem with either the cooling system or the fan.
    Please can anyone offer me any advice or suggestions?!
    Please help as Ive only had the laptop around 18 months now and it surely shouldnt be doing this should it?

    Hi
    I think you already are on the right track. 18 months is a long time collecting dust so it might just be overheating. Check the air-intakes for dust.
    I've seen suggestions to use a vacuumcleaner to suck dust from the intakes - I will not recommend this myself since there is a chance the fan might be damaged, but it could be a way for you.
    Good luck

  • Satellite U840W - Panel Open - Power On - unable to disable

    I have a Satellite U840W - the display doesn't have a lock on close, so would power on in a laptop bag. I was able to disable this in the Toshiba System Settings tool.
    However, a recent update means that even though the setting is Disabled, it will still power on when the lid is opened.
    Any suggestions on how to stop this happening, or how to revert to a previous version of the utility that actually worked?

    > This worked until I updated to the current Toshiba Utilities/Drivers.
    >Anyone able to help reverting to the previous version?
    In such case I would recommend you to set the system back to the early date.
    To the point before you updated the utility.
    1. You can do this easily. Point to the top-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, then click Search.
    2. Enter Control Panel in the search box, and tap or click Control Panel.
    3. Enter Recovery in the Control Panel search box, and then tap or click Recovery.
    4. Tap or click Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions.

    Hi,
    Photos is probably better than iPhoto for personal images, BUT:
    I need to make the new Photos app not open automatically every time I plug in an iPhone or iPad or camera into the computer.
    I take a lot of photos for work and I import those through the Image Capture App which allows me to import photos into a specific set folder - not my photos folder.
    In iPhoto>Preferences>General, set Image Capture as the default camera handler.

    Also, related, how do I make iTunes not automatically open when I plug in the iphone/ipad.  I keep my music on one computer and not on my work computer, so it is annoying when I plug an iPhone or iPad into the work computer and it automatically opens iTunes.
    In iTunes (with the device pugged in) Preferences, disable the 'Open iTunes when device is plugged in' option.

    Finally, what happened to the delete function on the Image Capture app?  It was so easy - import a bunch of photos into a certain folder, then delete those photos off the device through Image Capture.
    It's still there (on my Mac)

  • Satellite P - How to disable hibernation and standby?

    I have set power configuration to say Never for both Hibernation and Standby - both occur.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I would be happy with Standby but do NOT want Hibernation!

    Hi p g allison,
    Did you set these settings for current power profile?
    For example if you disable standby and hibernation for High Performance power profile but you are using or switch to Balanced the settings dont work.
    So check if they are disabled in all power profiles!!!

    Hi BC,
    A series of beeps (usually in a pattern of long and short) usually indicate a problem with the main-board in your notebook. Unfortunately, there is no published documentation about the beep pattern to assist with interpretation so the usual advice is to refer the notebook to an authorised service agent who can run diagnostic tests against the notebook.
    The normal boot sequence is to run a POST to check the viability of the system basic components followed by the BIOS load and then finally the operating system. The symptoms you are experiencing indicate a problem in the POST, but without suitable diagnostic equipment it would be difficult to pinpoint exactly.
