Re: Satellite Pro 6000 behaving hesitantly after running for a while

My 10 year old SP6000 running Windows 98 starts up and works fine, but very often, after 10 minutes (more or less) it will start to respond 'hesitantly', that is, both the mouse and the keyboard may take several seconds to respond to each click or movement.
The machine does not crash, and the fan continues to switch in and out. Most usually, normal behaviour is restored after a reboot, or sometimes it will come back on its own if left alone. The problem also seems worse if several windows are open at once.
I am inclined to think it may be related to overheating of some kind, with the CPU halting itself for a few seconds at a time, then responding again for another second or two.
Unfortunately I do not know if the problem has a history as I acquired it secondhand only recently.
Thanks for any ideas?

I dont know how long do you use preinstalled Windows but I think your notebook should be cleaned up and you should install OS again to have clean preinstalled stuff.
Have you may be upgraded RAM to maximum value? This is not bad idea. For this old notebook RAM modules are not expensive anymore.
With short words: I think your notebook needs general overhaul.
What do you think?

Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac 10.6 I lose the "mouseover" capability after running for a while. Only a REBOOT of the MAC will restore.

After running for a while (hours ? days?) I lose the ability to "mouseover" data on a website and get info. Specifically on Yahoo's
portal page, I can't mouse over a news item and get a summary.
Restarting Firefox, in safe mode or normal mode, does not restore the function. Rebooting the MAC (unheard of !!) restores. What gives ?

See if this works.
Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit enter.
Filter = '''print.print''' 
There are 6 prefs for headers / footers. 
'''print.print_header...''' center, left, & right 
and 
'''print.print_footer...''' center, left, & right 
You can add what you want in the '''''Value''''' column and then Restart Firefox to effect the change.

Satellite Pro 6100 shuts down after 15-30 minutes

My satellite Pro 6100 cuts out after 15-30 mins operating on mains power. There is a snapping sound and all lights go out except slow flashing amber (power problem). I restore it by removing the power cable and waiting a while.
It will then boot up again. I have used two different power adaptors and two different battery packs. It also happens if running on mains with no battery in. My suspicion is an overheat cut-out. Does the Sat Pro have one? Might it be clogged with dust inside (it is 5 years old)? If so how do I clean it out. I don't think it is fan failure as I can hear the fan cut in. Advice much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,
Me and my partner, have the same LapTop, and I've located the problem in connector between PSU board and MainBoard. So, if you've never opened your LapTop, now is the time, but be prepared with tools for SMD soldering. Usually, the connector on MainBoard is the problem. The reason for this is that Toshiba made flaw in design of the housing and admitted that, which resulted with court order for replacing the LapTop with some models from newer line for that time, or paying cash amount ($1.000). I intend to repair my LapTop in a way that I will replace the connectors (both on PSU and Main Board) with thin wires. I know that this is a hell of a job (160 solder points) but what can I do, I love this machine. I am working on Compaq EVO N-610c, but he can only eat the dust from Toshiba.

Alek

Satellite Pro 6000: LED error message - What does it mean?

Hi,
I gad an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000. Sometimes, not after a periode, it turns off. I gad the Error code 'cause the DC IN LED blinks orange. The blinking rate is 1x long 3x short 1x long 2x short 1x long = 10001001 in bin = 91h (is this right?)
Now 91h ist the following error: 1R5-E1V voltage is not more than 1.275V when the computer is powered on. But what the hell this error means? What is 1R5-E1V?
Need help. Greetz

Hi
You have to read the code backwards!
10001001 = 1001 0001 = 91H
http://www.prepressure.com/library/binhex.htm
In my opinion there is something wrong with the electronic on the board.
Therefore you have to contact the Toshiba ASP for the help.

Satellite Pro 6000: Cannot find correct WLAN driver

Hi,
I have re-installed Windows Xp on my notebook Satellite Pro 6000. All is working except for the wireless connectivity.
When looking in the device manager, I see that the WLAN driver has not (or incorrectly) been installed.
So looked at the Toshiba site for the corresponding drivers, but I am not able to find the correct one. I did found some drivers, which seems to be the one, but unfortunately after installing the drivers, the wireless connectivity is still not available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Robert

Hi
I dont believe that you cannot install the Wlan driver.
Go to the device manger and find out which Wlan card was installed. (check properties)
If the WLan card is placed under network adapters so the driver was installed properly.
But if you see a unknown device in device manager so you need the WLan driver.
Then download the WLan driver from the Toshiba site. Be sure that you use the right driver for the right OS!
You can try firstly to uninstall the old driver and then to install the new one.

Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
Is there a limit to HD size?
Thanx,
Ronaldo

Hi,
does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.
Cheers

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while

Satellite Pro U200 shuts down after 5 mins then starts after a while. When it shuts down the
blue screen says - stop: (0x0000008e,0xaa846f58,0xa9f29808,0x00000000)
sysaudio.sys - adress aa846f58 base at aa843000, datestamp 41107f1a

Hi
Believe me; its not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
Generally it happens because of the serious software malfunction or hardware fault.
Did you use the OS from the Toshiba image?
There message says something about sysaudio.sys.
This file is a system audio WDM filter process and its a part of Windows OS. It controls the hardware like printer or graphic card on a lower level.
Note: The virus uses such files as a camouflage. You should use always a anti virus application.
Furthermore you have suggested that the notebook shuts down after 5 min.
Well, this sounds like a overheating issue. How did you use the notebook? You should know that the free space around the notebook is very important because of the air circulation. The ventilators should be also free.
I you use the notebook in the right position and this will happen again so I would recommend asking the Toshiba service partner for the help. They should check the notebook.

Satellite Pro 6000 will not boot or do anything

Hello,
my satellite pro 6000 stopped working all of a sudden.
Power led, battery, keyboard leds are on, but nothing happens, tried to remove battery,cd, hd and put them back, nothing seems wrong.
Also tried the backspace trick in case but did not do any good.
It just does not start at all.
Any ideas out there ?
Thanks
[Edited by: Forum Moderation]

Hi,
unfortunately all the leds are working fine, no blinking that could point out a problem.
I am afraid that the motherboard might be cooked, I have seen similar symptoms on the net, it seems like a know issue at toshiba.

Satellite Pro 6000 doesn't boot anymore

Hi all,
I have a Satellite Pro 6000 that is quite old, but until yesterday it was working fine. Today, it won't start anymore. The indicator LEDs are on (220v:green/power:green/battery:orange) but the BIOS or OS won't start. Fan doesn't work either. The FN key seems to work - if I press it, the indicator below F11 lights up. If I press and hold the power button the power indicator LED goes off.
I've removed the battery to see if that might help, but it basically gives the save (non)result.
Is there any way to do a hard reset? Or is it curtains for this laptop?
Like to hear your thoughts on this one.
JP

Hi
Try to disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the battery a leave the notebook for a while. Wait about 20-30 min, connect all parts again and try to boot up.
If it will not work I assume the notebook hardware malfunctions Maybe its a motherboard fault (power supply electronic) or CPU.
Who knows. Without any hardware tests its not easy to find out what device malfunctions

What are compatible DVD-RWs drives with Satellite Pro 6000

Hi
Can any one tell me what dvd rw's is compatible withe the satellite pro 6000?

Hi
Its always hard to find any information about compatible drives because of the different master / slave and c-sel settings.
In my knowledge Toshiba user manuals dont provide such information. Ok, I dont know if all user manual dont provide this but I did not find such info in my user manual.
However. I have investigated a little bit a someone has suggested that Toshiba SD-R6372 dvd writer is compatible with Satellite Pro 6000/6100 units.
I found it on a very popular online auctioneers ;)

Mac shortcuts (OSX Yosemite) stop working after Edge Animate runs for a while

When I first open up an Edge animation file all my shortcuts work fine, such as Command-S to save.
After the software has been running for a while all my OSX shortcuts stop working and I have to copy, paste and save from the File menu instead.
When I restart the program it all goes back to normal for a short while and then they stop working again.
Some more info in case it's helpful:
My current project is based around animating SVG shapes (character animation).
I'm running Yosemite OSX.
Adobe Edge 2014.1.1 is the version I'm using
It crashes consistently but pops up a 'save your work' message first. I'd say at least once a day if I don't restart frequently enough.
I restart about every hour or so as I'm working.
My OSX shortcuts work fine in other software such as Photoshop, this is specific to Edge
My hardware is as follows:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Just putting this up here in case any other Edge users on Mac have noticed anything similar.

Hi Danny,
Thanks for writing to us with your concern. We are sorry to know that you are facing problems while using Adobe Edge Animate.
How often is it happen? Is there any time frame like after 1 hour or 2 hours this issue is occurred?
Can you please try updating your Mac Book 10.10.3?
Please share the result.
Regards,
Devendra

HELP - ABAP Program Cancelled After Running for 2.5 Hours in Background

HT3964 My computer freezes after running for about 15 min even after setting the energy saving to 3 hours

My Mac computer freezes after running for 15 min even after seeting the energy saving to 3 hours. Any ideas how to stop the freezing/

Hi Teodorafrombc,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your computer is becoming unresponsive, you may want to see if specific applications are causing this behavior. Try using the Force Quit menu to check for unresponsive applications:
Using the Force Quit feature of OS X makes an application close, even when it is not responsive.
Important: Normally you should not need to force quit an app to close it. When an app is forced to quit, any unsaved changes to open documents are not saved, so try these methods to normally close the app first:
Choose Quit from the app menu. For example, in Safari, choose Safari > Quit Safari.
Choose Quit by right-clicking or control-clicking on an app's icon in the Dock
You can find the article with these steps here:
OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
If your display is going blank or seems to be going to sleep unexpectedly, try these steps first:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the article with these steps and more information here:

Server goes into constant Full GC loop after running for a day

This is a servlet application running under Resin, with Java hotspot 1.5_13 on Linux 64bit OS. JVM args are:

From the log it seemed that the memory usage jumped by 150M to 250M within 1.5 second, even when the user traffic was very light (a couple of page views a second, vs. 10 page views a second at peak). The same app was running fine for many hours on a Windows dev machine in load testing condition with about 300M heapsize. No memory leakage was found so far. (it would be pretty unlikely to have such a large memory leakage without being noticed in dev and testing)
Thanks for any help.

A NewSize of 512m seems small for an 8G heap. This would probably cause most objects to be rapidly tenured into the OldGen heap space. (Ultimately depends on your application.) You might consider either using a NewRatio in place of NewSize/MaxNewSize or not use either and instead see how the jvm handles things itself with"-XX:+UseAdaptiveSizePolicy"
VisualVM is a good graphical tool for watching gc activity.
NewRatio=1 is the largest you can go for Eden, which will set (Eden and survivor spaces) equal to oldGen space. ie, for 8G, 4g each.
Watch activity in the gc tool, you will see "sawtooth" activity. If your sawtooth pattern does not maintain a flat profile, then you have in fact have a memory leak.

Mail quits after running for a few minutes

Mail quits after running for a couple of minutes, started doing it yesterday. I have looked at the advice given for similar problems, disk utility can find no problem with my drive, I repaired permissions anyway. No change.
Also ran the 'plutil' on the plist which came out as 'OK'.
I don't 'think' it is immediately the result of updating to 10.4.7 as it ran happily for some time after the update.
Is the only solution to trash the plist and redo all my mail accounts?
20' iMac 2.1 Ghz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM

Mail probably is crashing when new junk mail arrives. Try the following in order to identify the problem:
1. Either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down your Internet connection and open Mail afterwards.
2. Disable junk mail filtering in Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail.
3. Go online again.
If Mail doesn't crash now, then you know for sure there is something wrong with the junk filter. In that case, the following procedure should fix the problem:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash -- deleting this file is what clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail does. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
5. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail 2.x stores all rules, including those used by the junk filter. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
Note: Messages in Junk folders with an .mbox suffix are stored locally, and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first (you may prevent Mail from crashing by shutting down the Internet connection or telling Mail to go offline immediately after opening it). Messages in Junk folders with an .imapmbox suffix are stored on the server and can be ignored (Mail will rebuild those mailboxes automatically).
8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.
