HELP! Satellite 5100-503 stopped working!!

Hi!
I have a Satellite 5100-503 and was really satisfied until yesterday.
There it stopped working.
What I did: Closed the notebook after work (everything ok) and leaved it alone for a while. When I opend the notebook again to continue working nothing happend.
Only the small frontdisplay showed me a spinning CD (no CD inserted) and the battery status display. After pressing the on-button the on-sign appeared but nothing happened again. Pressing the button again (for some seconds) made the on-sign dissapear. No display, no fan, no harddisk noise in any case (ono/off). Inserting an audio CD and pessing the play-button works! Soundsystem is working well.
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
any questions? more infos necessary? please ask!
Please help

Hello Hadj!
That was what I thought first and connected an external Diplay (15" TFT). But nothing was shown.
At the Toshiba support hotline a learned about the F8 button at startup; but still no reaction.
According to Toshiba it seems the either the mainboard or the CPU is defect. Approx costs 500 to 700 without
the cost for lookinto what damaged (extra 65).
So I think I will give up on that and look for another Notebook.

  • Need WXP drivers for Satellite 5100-503

    I have a Satellite 5100-503 with a GeForce4 440 Go and I recently installed Windows XP Professional with SP2 as fresh install. I tried to play a game that I had installed and played on the other operating system (XP SP1).
    When I tried to run it, it sent me a Could not run OpenGL message. Then I browsed your website for drivers. The only problem was that when I checked your driver archives my model was nowhere to be found.
    I checked various other unofficial websites for drivers but again without success. After that I tried models that where close to my model, but they didnt help me, then I tried various force wares with modded .inf, no success either.
    All Im here to ask you is to please send me the drivers or upload them to the internet for download. The last time (a couple of years ago) when I had installed the OS, I downloaded the drivers from your website and it worked perfectly.
    I hope you can answer to my problem as soon as possible.
    Also I would like to have all the drivers needed for my laptop, for Windows XP SP2.
    Thanks in advance

    Terentino
    I searched the whole drivers archive and it doesn't show my model "5100-503", it skips from 5005-S508 to 5105-S501...
    I am at least with no sound drivers as the sound appears to have a lot of static.
    PS: Sorry for my absence I was away working and i didn't have time to drop by and give you more intel.

  • Problems restoring Satellite 5100-503

    Hi all,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite 5100-503, and it's hard-drive has malfunctiond, so I had to replace it for a new one, but now I can't use the recovery CD I got with the computer.
    Could anybody help me with this?
    thanks in advance.

    > but continues to load windows
    How the notebook can load windows if the new HDD does not contains an OS?!
    Or did you install the Win OS on other way?
    For me it looks like the notebook does not boot from the recovery CD.
    The drive cannot read the recovery CD due to the drive malfunction or CD fault.
    Did you check if its possible to boot from other bootable CDs?
    One hint: try to set the BIOS to the default and safe the settings. Then power up the notebook and press F12 immediately after notebook starting. The boot menu should appear and you should be able to choose the CD as boot device.

  • Satellite 5100-503 - I need a new graphic card

    My Satellite 5100-503 shows garbled image during startup particularly when the computer is warm.
    The sound also breaks.
    It was diagnosed as a display card problem. The card has nVidia GeForce4 440 Go chip.
    What is the equivalent card available in the market or any reliable source?

    Hi Santos
    Thanks for posting this your personal opinion but I have to say that you are simply not right
    The Toshiba ASP (authorized service partner) will help you always if you have some hardware problems.
    But they will not provide you any disassemble manuals because such manual are not for public usage!
    And this is not only Toshiba rules but you will find such rule in every company!
    If you need an solution the guys will help you and should be abel to replace the faulty part...
    Furthermore your Satellite 5100 is an older notebook and the nVidia GeForce4 440Go graphic card is not weakness.
    Every notebook parts can start to malfunction after a long time of usage! This is nothing unusual but simply "real world".
    So dont speak about weakness because its simply not right and the nVidia GeForce4 440 Go supports the same quality standard like other different graphic chips
    Anyway, if you want to solve this issue then the motherboard (contains the graphic card) must be replaced.

  • Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

    Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!
      Windows XP  

    I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
    You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

  • Satellite 5100-503: burning a 800 Mb CD-Rom

    Hi,
    Maximum capacity of a CD in the combo DVD reader/CD of the Satellite 5100-503 seems to be 703Mb. Is there any solution to burn 800 Mb/90 minutes CDs ?
    Thanks

    Hi Sam,
    Thanks for you fast answer.
    1)What's a "real" CD Rom ? In shops they sell 700Mb, 800MB and 870Mb CDs. The 800Mb only shows 703Mb on the screen of the burning programs. So, I wish I could overwrite until 800 or 870 on those last two categories that seem specific for this purpose.
    2) No, I did not check a new firmware. last time I tried, it did destroy the whole combo and I got to pay 1000 dollars for repairs from the Toshiba rep.
    3) XP, "Drag and drop CD" that was delivered in the Tosh.
    But I started experiencing Nero.
    4) The CD salesman said I just had to expand the CD capacity in Nero to 870 Mb and overburn up to that limit and it is going to be ok....
    With computers things are never that simple. Nero warns me: if the CD-Rom drive is not able to burn more than 700Mb some hardware damage may result.
    Would you think, Sam that experiencing Nero and overburning up to 870 Mb would be safe ?
    Thnks for your time and knowledge.

  • Since I installed a printer software Satellite L300 has stopped working

    Hello there!
    I'm new here so not really sure if I'm posting in the right place. Mods, please feel free to move to the relevant section, thank you.
    OK I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 Laptop and ever since I installed a printer software on Wednesday night, my laptop has suddenly stopped working!
    Ever since Thursday night, I have been trying to get it working but I'm faced with this message:
    when i load it up it goes to Windows error recovery:
    'windows has failed to start.a recent hardware or software change might be the cause
    if windows files have been damaged or configured incorrectly,startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.if power was interrupted during startup,choose start windows normally'
    then it gives two options: Launch startup repair (recomended)
    start windows normally
    ==========
    -so i click launch startup repair (reccomended)
    -then a scren loads up called 'system recovery options'.. it says: select an operating system to repair and click next.only windows vista operating systems are listed and can be repaired
    if you do not see your operating system listed, click load drivers to load drivers for your hard disks'.....
    but nothing comes up so i click load drivers and it just gives me loads of random folders...and i haven't a clue which ones to load
    ========
    5 years ago Report Abuse
    Additional Details
    so i just click 'next'
    ========
    then i have 5 options:
    -startup repair
    -system restore
    -windows complete pc restore
    -windows memory diagnostic tool
    -command prompt
    ==========
    startup repair says it cannot manually fix any problems
    -system restore just says your computer is in a limited state and performing this action cannot be changed...but there is no option to do so
    -windows comple pc restore says i need to insert a backup disk which I dont have
    windows memory diagnostics tool says that windows is preventing this
    ============
    but on the system resotre it tells me to type something like: rstrui.exe /OFFLINE:C:\Windows
    but i don't know where...i typed it in the command prompt but don't understand how to use it
    =========
    i also tried to click start windows normally but it won't work

    If the problem is installed software, start notebook in safe mode and try to start system restore from there.
    Please let me know which options are available. Can you roll back OS few days back?
    Are some restore points listed there?

  • Sound device of Satellite A100-906 stopped working

    Hi all..
    the sound on my Satellite A100-906 just stopped working in winxp.
    I didn't make anything like installing a program etc.
    I verified that the drivers are installed properly but after that I just had it so I installed a fresh copy of winxp and installed the sound driver BUT it didn't work!!!
    I just don't know what to do with it.
    Please someone help me..

    Hi,
    maybe you have the wrong drivers. If you already tried it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    and the drivers didnt worked for you, then go to this link and download the drivers from that page:
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp
    They should work. Background of that issue is, that the soundchip was designed for vista and not xp, so the drivers wont work and you have to use special drivers which could be downloaded in toshiba canada.

  • Help! CS3 has stopped working

    I get an error message from windows vista premiumm home.
    It just says: Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. The only option is a box that says "close program". Once you close it everything goes away. It doesn't even give you a hint of what the problem could be. I installed creative suite 3 web premium on this brand new computer about 2 weeks ago. This is a first time install of this software, but when I called Adobe they said they don't offer free installation help anymore on cs3 because cs4 is out now. Anyone have a clue what I should do? I can't just uninstall photoshop, if I try it wants to uninstall all 8 programs.

    try resetting the preferences, per this FAQ:

  • HELP PLEASE - "itunes has stopped working" message....

    When I open itunes it opens up but after about 2 seconds a message comes up from Windows saying "itunes has stopped working" and that Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. It then stops checking and a new message comes up saying "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" it doesn't come up with a solution and the the only available option it gives me is to close the program. I got the same problem a couple of weeks ago but it recommended that I install itunes 7.3 which i did and it has worked fine up until today.
    It just so happens that I ordered a new 80gb ipod that I'm expecting tomorrow, so any help would really be appreciated.

    Are you still having the issue? Do you regularly download podcasts? If so, take a look at the Download folder that appears under the Store on the left side of iTunes. Do you get the message when the Download folder appears?
    If so, it might be a "bad podcast". I've been having the above issue for about 1 week and it turns out that there somehow was a bad entry in the list... As soon as iTunes trying to download it, it crashed. I deleted the entry and the problem went away...
    It the meantime, I've set iTunes to only Manually download podcasts.

  • Please help! "Photoshop has stopped working"

    Please help me - message: "Photoshop has stopped working" - know what to do ... I can not use the newly installed photoshop program.
    My problem is that as soon as (or about 5 seconds) after I opened Photoshop CC, I get an error message stating that "Photoshop has stopped working". I can not use my newly installed photoshop programs.
    I have just the "factory reset" my HP PC with Windows 7 operating system. I have updated everything to be updated in Windows and signed me for Adobe CC at Adobe.com. Now I have installed Photoshop CC, CC Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Pro X1, ExtendScript Toolkit CC and Extention Manager CC.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop to see if the program works for it - but no, it does not. I have also tried holding down the three keys Shift - Ctrl - Alt, In connection with that I open the program (I googled the problem and someone tipped off that there could be a solution to the problem) but unfortunately also without success.
    The thing is that all the other Adobe CC program works fully on the computer (InDesign, Illustator and pdf tool Acrobat Pro X1). They work flawlessly.
    What to do?
    Best Regards

    It could be any number of things, but in your config you have:
    ephone-dn  598
    number A801...
    mwi off
    ephone-dn  599
    number A800...
    mwi on
    yet all your numbers appear to be 4 digits; i.e. you'd need "number A801...." and "number A800....".  There could be some translation and such going on.  Otherwise it might be necessary to run some debugs (from CUE, you could do a 'clear trace', 'mwi refresh telephonenumber XXXX', then 'show trace buff long' and see what it's getting back.  CME would have some debugs, too, but at least you'll get some basic info on whether it's getting rejected or not.

  • Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

    My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
    thanks so much,
    Katarina
