  These linux distributions work very well on other PC...

  Thank you!

  Hi ft

  Unfortunately I have no explanation for what is happening exactly to your device, but don t forget that your device is not supported under Linux and also designed for Windows XP.

  Satellite U200 is more recent and it is possible that in a month next someone will do some Linux experience on this unit and reported it here.

  Good bye

• Satellite U200 163: BIOS download 3.40-> XP-Linux BIOS bug resolved

  I was told there was no bug with 3.30, but these are the changes (extract from Toshiba U.S. web site):

  * Added CPU support: optimized the thermostat during low temperature operations.
  * This BIOS supports the Windows XP and Vista.

  It was not the case before?

  Found on the Toshiba site we (that, I tell you once again, gives more information on changes in bios):

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soID=419258&MOID=1277449&BV_Sess ionID=@@@1274207095.1171787409@@@&BV_EngineID=cc ciaddkejmhedecgfkceghdgngdgmm.0 & ct = SB

  3.30 bug maybe wasn't lack of Linux? ;-)

  In the user manual, you will find a list of supported CD and DVD!

  Also try to burn the CD or DVD with extra like Nero burning software.

• Its on a Satellite U200 163 Vista problems

  Hello everyone,

  I try to install Vista Home Basic on my U200 163, but I am facing many problems and really need help...

  My biggest problem is that, after the upgrade, I have no sound on my computer. I installed the latest drivers from toshiba (toshiba American site vista drivers), my chipset is recognized as "Soundmax Integrated Digital HD Audio" and everything seems to be allright, but my speakers as well as my jack cards give no sound. Everything was ok under XP and my sound settings are ok, I even see the volume changes in the sound settings, I've never seen such a problem before... Did someone had an idea?

  Moreover, I didn't find the drivers for sensor HDD and several applications of toshiba important as protector of HDD, energy-saving, indicator of volume, hotkey utility cannot be run...

  I hope someone can help, thank you very much.

  He thinks that it is today your lucky day :)

• Change the Wifi card in the Satellite U200 163

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the wifi card internal of my computer toshiba laptop u200-163, I can change the hard disk?

  Thank you.

  If you use the compatible WiFi card I see no problem, but in my opinion, there is no reason for this. I guess your laptop comes with WLAN card 802.11a/b/g and using the g standard data transfer is fast enough and you avoid any problems if you use your laptop for work.

• Satellite U200 163 and Linux - sound disappeared

  Hi all

  I just installed ubuntu 9.04 on my u200, it worked very well with the live CD with almost any linux, but the sound no longer works after a while
  I think the problem is with the bios or could be fixed with windows settings
  Unfortunately, I deleted windows so now I have to find another solution
  I am sure that this is not a software problem, but more tied to the bios or strange sound equipment.

  Thanks in advance
  Stone

  Hi pierrot2027,

  of course, it is the bios... It is evolving without interaction...
  I'm kidding!

  which leads to believe that the bios is defective when:
  -its has been authorized for a period of time
  -you do not change anything inside the bios or hardware

  try to modprobe a new soundmodule, perhaps some stock loading a bad module...
  or reinstall the system...

  BTW: windows is an operating system like linux - if it's a hardware failure, you are not able to fix in any os at all.

• Satellite U200 163: where can I find the RAM slots?

  Where can I find the RAM slots?

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no RAM Bay at the bottom of the unit and it is so just only one possible place to the RAM slots
  Slots seem to be hidden under the keyboard.

  In order to get access to the RAM, you will need to remove the keyboard.
  Usually, it is not very difficult but if you have no experience with this dismantling then you should ask a technician for assistance.

  But here's a few details;
  Keyboard is fixed with 2 screws. They are hidden under the cover of thin plastic under the line of F1 to F12 key.
  Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, then you could remove the keyboard take note; the keyboard is connected to the motherboard with the flat cable.

  So don't use force!

• Satellite L305-S5939 - Dual boot with Linux

  I recently bought the notebook title mentioned for my studies in computer programming that will require me to dual boot with Linux.
  I decided to use Ubuntu and their instructions for upward the dual boot parameters are simple.

  However, I heard from people having problems with the settings of the BIOS on other brands when said is finished.
  Before I embark on this journey, I want to just make sure that everything is set to avoid problems.

  Unfortunately, I have not found much information about Dual boot with Linux and Toshiba L305s.
  Other than the basic principles of what I need to do before installing?

  I think that a dual boot on the Satellite L305 should not be a problem because you can do it on every laptop or PC.

  If you want Ubuntu you should take a look on Wubi
  http://wubi-Installer.org/
  It of pretty easy to use and in my opinion the best way to install Ubuntu on a system dual boot.

  Hello

  Simply said; You can listen to the sound using headphones, but can not hear the sound on the speakers. Right?

  Have you noticed this early? Have you installed a few 3rd party applications may affect the functionality of speaker? Maybe some Windows updates can affect this?

  Please check the settings in the control panel-> sound-> the Read tab

  As a last resort, I recommend for recovering the device I want to say, it looks a bit because of speaker, but I strongly recommend to test the laptop with the factory settings.

• Portege Z930: The update of the BIOS with LINUX/UNIX OS

  Hello.

  I manage a COMPUTER company, and some of our facilities are portege z930.

  We use Linux as main OS, and in order to use all the disk space, we erased the Windows partition.

  How can I update the BIOS of a Linux operating system? I asked a support company official technichal, and they told me that they use a special live linux CD managed by Toshiba.

  I don't know if I can get this cd somehow live. If this isn't the case, I would like to know how to upgrade our Bios without having to reinstall the Windows operating system.

  Thanks in advance!

  As far as I know on the download page of the BIOS that Toshiba offers the Windows version only. Of way General Linux is not supported.
  Try to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Maybe they can get this special CD.

  By the way: why you didn t prepared machine (BIOS update) before starting to install Linux?

  "" RESPONSE; No, the Linux drivers are not on the pages of Toshiba, but given that most of the drivers are a part of the Linux distribution, no special drivers are required

• Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

  Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
  does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
  IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
  where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

  It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

  So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
  1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
  2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

  Any suggestions?

  Sincerely,
  Aleksander K

  > How to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?
  Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file
