Satellite P10-554 and pinnacle studio 10 problem

When i start using pinnacle studio 10 I get message that I need newer version of display driver. I am using 4.4.8.5. an d cant find later one for my display adapter.
I am using nvidia geforce fx go5600.

Hi
Did you look on the Toshiba drivers download page or new version of graphic driver?
Generally you should always use the Toshiba graphic driver because it has a own protect function because of graphic overheating issue.
But you can try to use the driver from Nvidia at YOU OWN RISK.
The other drivers could damage the graphic card!!!
Bye

Satellite P10-554 shuts down after few minutes and I can not reboot

hello,
i hope anybody can help me with my satellite P10-554
when i start the notebook everything works fine a few minutes. than the monitor turns into black and the notebooks shuts down suddenly. i cannot reboot it, when i push the start-button nothing happens.
i have to wait for about an hour and then i can start it up again, but he works just a minute and shuts down again !
help me please, cause i need my notebook to work !

I did that many times. First you need a special torx-screwdriver. Then you can remove the cover over the fans. Than take your vacuum-cleaner and remove the dust. Take a brush or somethin else to remove the dust from the fans. Then, you need to remove I think 2 big screws, now you should hold the cooling falance in your hands, the one with the fans. Clean that properly.
After that you can remove the copper-cooler, with 2 more screws I think, but it is pretty obviously. Now you should see the blank cpu with lots of heat-paste on it. I dont know why they put so much of this stuff on it from toshiba. So get a better one like Arctic-Silver or sth. My advice is to take the CPU off (one screw on top as far as I remember) and clean the surface.
The copper you can clean under water, but dont use sth that could scratch the surface. After that let it dry good. Now just put the CPU back and fix it with the screw again. Take a !litte! heat paste and put it properly with a paper all over the surface of the CPU, but remember, just a little! Then follow all steps back, dont forget to clean the graphics-chip as well and put some paste on it. You can see which it is when you look under the fan-cooling-falance, there should be a rest of heat-paste. Everything back to its place and voil*, a nice, cool clean notebook. By the way, I replaced even the fans.
If you need further advice, just ask!

Windows 7 on Satellite P10-554, need Drivers

Hello,
i installed on my Satellite P10-554 a new Windows 7.
Now i can't find some Drivers for my device, in the special for the USB device,
which breaks off, if i use a external harddrive.
Additionally i got a error code 28 for the base systemdevice (at PCI-bus 2) and
the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" shows, that the driver for ACPI/CMP0101 isnt
compatibly with W7.
What can I still do?
thank you for answer

Hallo Lupi
I had Satellite P10 in year 2003. So please don't understand me wrong but you have 6 years old notebook, designed for WXP and now you wondering you cannot find Win7 drivers.
What you can do? Nothing. This oldie will not be supported for Win7.
Use supported operating system and be happy. If you want to use newest software I believe it is time for newest hardware. ;)
By the way, Satellite P10 is really nice and absolutely reliable notebook.

Can BIOS update enable usage of 2GB DDR RAM modules on Satellite P10-554?

Hello,
I got a Satelite p10-554 and want to upgrad my RAM.
I know by default the max u can install is two 1GB Kits.
Is there any Bios-Update, that enables 2GB kits???
Thanx a lot!
Ron

Hello Ron
The same situation with my P20! Unfortunately there is no BIOS update to allows more RAM usage.

IMovie vs Final Cut Express and Pinnacle Studio

Before I had the Imac (6 months now) for my video or photos I use Pinnacle Studio 11. Now I want to update the IMac to Leopard with ILife 09. Now I also want to use Final Cut Express for video editing. However since I seen the introduction of IMovie 09 I'm not sure which investment to make.
My question to you: with my experience with Pinnacle will Imovie 09 apply for video editing or should I also get the FCE. And what about my projects done in Pinnacle Studio.
Thanks in advance for all your reactions.
Ron

I migrated from using a PC and Pinnacle Studio 11 to a MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express about 9 months ago. I had no previous experience with a Mac, so it has been a very steep learning curve for me. But I have been studying the bright minds on this forum for awhile and have also been taking advantage of various Final Cut tutorials on the web. I eventually stopped regretting leaving Pinnacle behind and I have come to love Final Cut and the greater creative control it offers. As for iMovie, I found it a little too basic for what I want, but it may be suitable for your needs.
As far as your Pinnacle projects are concerned, finish them up and then immerse yourself in Final Cut. I think you'll be glad you did.

Satellite P10-554 turns off, cant start again, but led lights still burning

my P10-554 shuts down after few minutes. after that, i cannot start it again, but the led lights are still burning. when i wait a few minutes or hours, then i can reboot my notebook again, but he runs for about one or two minutes and then shuts himself down again...
i thought of a problem with the fan or something like that, but why are the led lights still burning after the shutdown ? what can i do ?

Usually if the AC adaptor is connected to the PC some LED are on. For example the battery LED lights green when its fully charged.
However, its not usual that the notebook shuts down after several minutes of running and for me it sound definitely like a hardware fault.
The problem is that a common user like me and you is mostly not able to fix or locate the malfunction. You need definitely a help from a technician with much more experience.
The ASP guys could run the diagnostic tests and are able to find out whats wrong on the board.

Installed Leopard and DVD Studio Pro Problems

Just installed Leopard 10.5.6 Box Set and Compressor and DVD Studio Pro will not work properly.
DVD Studio Pro 4 will open a past dvd and when go to burn it shuts down. I also cannot export out to compressor from FCP 5. I already tried the http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47672?viewlocale=en_US
link and it didn't work for either. Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks

Just did an upgrade install. No erase and install which I'm sure is the best way. I just got off the phone with apple and also found this on apple's site.
Issue or symptom
Compressor/Apple Qmaster versions 2.3 and earlier and version 3.0 are not supported on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Solution
Compressor and Apple Qmaster 2.3.1 and later or version 3.0.1 or later are supported on Mac OS 10.5 Leopard. Use Software Update to ensure you have the latest updates.
I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. Time to move on to Intel or FCP 2. Thanks for responding.

Satellite X200-252 and Vista sound mixer problem

Hi,
My Satellite X200-252 is running under Vista Home Premium operating system.
I have strange problem with sound mixer. After (I think) some security patches applied my vista stopped from recognizing the sound device.
The taskbar sound icon on the right side of the screen is marked with red cross and while im clicking the icon the info-window states that there is no sound device connected.
When I select the properties, I see all 3 output devices, i.e. internal speakers, hdmi and digital output. However no icon is displayed in the window. But the configuration is working.
Moreover the keyboard shortcuts as well as touchpad works as expected. I mean I can mute/unmute etc..
But I can not change the volumes per channel. For this I need the mixer app.
What I can do to repair my comp?
/Arek

Hi
In your case I would recommend reinstalling the sound driver.
As far as I know this notebook supports an Realtek sound card.
You could visit the Realtek website and could download the sound driver directly from this page.
You need an HD sound driver.

Satellite P10-554 nvidia geforce fx go5600 driver update

Hi all,
I just tried to update to very last nvidia driver version 78.01. Running the setup I got an error message indicating that the setup routine couldn't find a driver that is compatible with the hardware installed. According to the doc the new update supports the harware installed.
Does someone why I can't update to most recent version?
Thanks in advance
Karl
BTW: I already uninstalled the current driver, rebooted the machine and tried to install the new version without success.

Hi Juan, hi R2D2
thanks for your answers. I found the driver on the german site as well as on the english one:
http://www.nvidia.de/object/winxp_2k_78.01_de.html
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/winxp_2k_78.01.html
If you follow the link "Products Supported" on this page a list of the supported products is being displayed (I just noticed that the card supported is GeForce FX 5600 and not GeForce FX Go5600). May that's the reason.
The last driver on the Toshiba site is 4.4.8.5.
Since weeks I'm trying to pinpoint a problem that the turns off due to the settings of the power management. But I can't reactivate the display when moving the mouse or pressing the keyboard. So I try to find out if it's a software or a hardware issue, but without success so far.
Best regards
Karl

Satellite P10: white and purple clouds fading across the screen when booting

I had been having problems with my SP-10 laptop so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60GB instead of standard 40GB) and fitted it myself. I was working fine with this for a long time until suddenly I had the strangest problem I have ever seen on a computer...
Sometimes, when booting the laptop, instead of the normal red "TOSHIBA" screen and the Windows XP startup message, the laptop simply shows some weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, eventually fading to a very dark but not quite black screen.
I thought to begin with it was a problem with the DVD drive, as when it finally gave in and booted normally, the DVD drive was disabled. However, I have noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" that the InfraRed Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to it, but will then disappear from the listing, then reappear again, and then go again and so on.
Sometimes my computer will be operating normally, then completely lock up (mouse and all) and will reboot with the clouds!
I have looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the notebook has locked up and have seen something to do with an IRQ problem for the Infrared Port. I disabled the InfraRed port in Device Manager (I managed to enable it in the BIOS by loading standard BIOS settings) and restarted, but it started up with the clouds again, so I have a feeling the InfraRed port is the culprit - perhaps faulty hardware/loose connection as it is located quite close to the DVD drive and HD drive.
I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this before on ANY computer, and if they knew how to resolve it? It seems completely illogical that a faulty IR port could alter what is displayed on the screen at bootup, unless of course there is something wrong with the boot sector of my HD?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Tom

Well I can assure you my laptop has an InfraRed Port on it - I used to use it with my mobile phone for various things but don't bother now.
Good idea about attaching another monitor - hadn't thought of that. I will see what I can come up with.
I simply don't understand how anything except the display driver could be causing this, unless of course, another piece of hardware is conflicting with the display driver. But then why would it be intermittent and not constant? Anyway, I don't seem to have had the problem since I disabled the IR port (except the first time I disabled it) so here's hoping it's fixed.
Will definitely try attaching another display though. Good thinking.
Thanks,
Tom

Problem with combo drive on Satellite P10

I have a Satellite P10-554 model running on XP SP2 english version. My combo drive works excellent with DVDs but when i insert a CD i get this message (and i cannot access the drive):
"The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Dimitrios Plataras

Hi
This is a good tip.
But if it doesn't help you can try to remove the drive from the device manager.
Then after new reboot the OS should recognizes the drive again with the common settings.
Maybe it helps

How to replace DVD-RW on Satellite P10?

Hello,
I have to replace the DVD-RW (Mat****a UJ 811 ) on my Satellite P10-554. What new models are recommanded or work without problems?
Thank you!

With optical disc drive exchange the biggest problem is compatibility. Exact info about that you can get from authorized service partners in your country or some independent notebook upgrade store or service.
Unfortunately notebook manufacturer doesnt support hardware directly and whole upgrade program must be done with service or even local dealer. Because of that it is not easy to get precise information about compatibility.
I have had P20 two years ago and I have successfully upgraded with DVD-RAM (TEAC DV-W22E -285).

Satellite P10 - trouble with grafic adapter

Hi,
When starting my Satellite P10 - 554 today, the display showed unsorted colored pixels all around the screen. The BIOS message appears fully normal. After booting into the graphical mode, starting windows XP, the screen keeps being black.
The hard disk works fine. I've checked the display. It's working fine.
I guess the graphic adapter (geforce go 5600) is damaged. Any chance getting my notebook fixed? Do I need a new mainboard, or is there any possibility replacing the graphic adapter? Where can I get the needed parts, used or unused? What do the "exchange parts" cost? Better buy a new notebook?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Steven from Germany, Duisburg.

Hi
>Any chance getting my notebook fixed? Do I need a new main board, or is there any possibility replacing the graphic adapter? Where can I get the needed parts, used or unused? What do the "exchange parts" cost? Better buy a new notebook?
Are you 100% sure that the graphic card is dead? This can be checked very easily.
You could connect the external monitor to the notebook and could check if the same appears on the external monitor too. If the same fault would appear on the external monitor then the GPU could be really faulty.
In such case the whole motherboard must be changed and such procedure costs a little fortune because the motherboard is on of the expansive notebook parts. You should calculate 300-350 euro
So maybe an second hand board could be a alternative.
greetings

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.
