  Hello

  Theoretically, you can use a CPU that is supported by the chipset.
  As far as I know the laptop supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
  So you can see the Intel Gm45 Mobile Intel properties page and what would the supported processors.

  In general CPU upgrade a tricky thing but is stronger CPU produces more heat dissipation and could lead to overheating.
  In addition he s not 100% sure that BIOS would support the new processor.

  I also found this nice doc from Toshiba:
  Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop?

• Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

  Hello!

  My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
  Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Gilles gravel

  And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
  Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
  What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
  You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

  Hello
  We have two former TECRA M10 (models PTM40E and PTM42E) and you want to update the PC now for Windows7. After the installation of a new (larger) HARD drive, we ran the recovery DVDs. After that recovery completed successfully, we have installed a version of Windows 7 Professional (replacing the recovered Win - XP) and let Windows Update all the drivers on the Internet. After installation is complete, the majority of work and PC applications of material (e.g. display drivers where found and installed, stylus for touch screen works). But touch rotation does not work, the touchpad has also no scroll function).

  We found 47 drivers Toshiba basic support, but not of documentation on how to use them.

  Can we using this forum?

  Thanks in advance...

  Are you sure you have Tecra M10? M4 maybe?

  On the Toshiba download page, I found only Tecra M4 with model number PTM40E and PTM42E.

• Tecra M10 does support VT?

  Hi all

  I have a Tecra M10 - 13 K 8 GB RAM (PTMB0E-01600LGR) BIOS V2.10 with Intel T5870 CPU (which is not taken in charge VT). My Chipset is Intel GM45 Express.
  I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) with VMWare Server 2.0.x and create Virtual Machines with Windows 7 (64-bit) and Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit).

  But my CPU does not support the VT!

  Now, I want to buy Intel CPU T7250 and replace my old CPU. Would this work? The BIOS must support the? Do I need a new Version of BIOS?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  First of all you cannot use virtual technology if the processor does not support this feature.
  Second, the replacement of the CPU is not desirable and often delicate!
  The BIOS has not been tested with a different CPU, and no one can tell if the laptop would be stable after an upgrade of the CPU.

  Take a look at this Toshiba doc:

• Tecra M10 cannot install OS using disc SSD Kingston

  Hi all.

  I am a computer tech and can usually find a way to fix something myself, (rock Google!).

  But recently I had a Kingston SSDNOW 64 GB drive and decided to install in my Tecra M10 age of 12 months. 4 weeks ago I had a full head of hair, now I am completely bald.

  The drive is recognized in the BIOS, but whenever I try to install Windows on it, I get nothing. I tried the recovery DVDs XP, recovery DVDs Vista The, the "free" upgrade Windows 7 recovery DVD, and a DVD Vista & Windows 7 retail. I can't drive to be recognized to install Windows.

  I can copy the existing disk image, but it starts the splash screens and blue. Normally I think that driver RAID or hard disk controller, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require a, I tried).

  I checked and installed the latest version of the BIOS for laptop. There is no update available for the SSD firmware. So I find myself with a laptop that always uses a slow, (relatively) hard drive and a very pretty silver rectangular Clipboard.

  Can anyone think of anything whatsoever that I missed. Anyone working for Toshiba can tell me if there is a BIOS update for this problem (I search the forum and found many people who are struggling for SSDS working in Toshiba laptops)?

  The sad thing is that the former other laptop I got for my son accepts the player and works fine!
  I had many prefer to buy Toshiba, but I want SSD technology rather sooner than later, and if Toshiba does not go to support, I might have to change of Lenovo or Acer.

  Rob.

  > Normally I would RAID driver or controller hard drive, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require one, I tried).

  I think you have misunderstood something the SSD drive does not need SATA drivers BUT the fact the OS (Win XP, Vista or Win 7)!

  The SATA drivers are needed to recognize the HDD/SSD under Windows OS.
  New generation of portable supports the new SATA controllers that require SATA drivers.

  You will find on the European driver Toshiba Intel Storage Manager page

  Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers that are required to install the OS.

• Recovery media for Tecra M10 - 10I required

  Hi all

  Sorry to post this here, but I hope someone can help me out here because unfortunately, after talking to a member of staff at Toshiba UK, the support I need, they can provide.

  I am a totally blind systems engineer and entrepreneur specialized in the legends of emergency to companies and specialist requirements, as well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning requirements, etc.. Recently, I lost my laptop main, unfortunately, he died because of overheating due to his age, a professional platform adapted to my needs to run the tools of my trade. the jury, burned into the RAM and HARD drive with her, it means I'm out of action,

  However, a friendly contact of my friends helped me with gift of a system of Tecra M10 - 10i who arrived this morning, to be configured, etc.. However, the internal HARD disk was photographed with a default image of their company and not the official recovery / installation OEM. The disk HARD deleted anyway and RAM upgraded to 8 GB to become my replacement. Right now I am borrowing a member of the family system and running an edition of reader pen of my screen reader configuration. so access to emails, notes, etc. only.

  My setup is based on different hardware and software components including chassis magma with PCIE cards, for data and the access control etc.

  What I would do, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells isn't easy to blind, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem. Toshiba tell me that they can not provide recovery media and I have to go to a provider they use on the web and order records, etc.

  This may be against policy here, so I apologize if this is the case, however, anyone here happen to have the recovery media for a system Tecra M10 - 10i, so Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows 7 Pro or similar that can update the system? The reason I ask because it is, it is easier for me to use a recovery image based or automated Ghost for this so I can install my screen, braille display driver reader interface, etc. and be running, rather than panic during the configuration of the audio without braille drivers / audio feedback.

  If you can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

  Cheers.

  Ed

  > What I would like to make, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells is not blind to the environment, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem.

  Dear Ed, I'm sorry to hear that it of difficult and impossible for you to order the Toshiba recovery from the Arvato page disk. Unfortunately, I m not Tecra M10 owner and don t have recovery for this unit disc.
  But maybe you could ask a family member or a friend for assistance.

  It (a credit card owner) could place an order for recovery on page Arvato disk and could order the media for you.

• Tecra M10 - 1 H 4 - change shared video RAM worth?

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2 GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256 MB of available RAM slot. Can I change the value of RAM shared graphic? In the properties of XP Pro, I can see that it is fixed at 1024MB which is stupid because I only 2.25 GB in the machine.

  I can't locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change it. It's a mobile graphics chip Intel GMA 4500MHD. Any help is appreciated...

  I also seem to get some horrible slow down on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same application or different) when I switch to another window/application from time to time I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?

  I updated the driver too - claims I'm on: 6.14.10.4953

  See you soon

  TC

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you can change the video memory value of t. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in the BIOS or the display driver where you can change it.

  Video RAM depends on the RAM you are using on your laptop. Increase system memory values for the available total graphics memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher.

  So, to get more video RAM upgrade your laptop with more system RAM.

• Install of Win7 64 bit on Tecra M10 - 11V

  I have to update the Bios before a clean install of Win7 64 bit on my Tecra M10 - 11V?

  Should I regularly check and update the Bios?

  After installation the program "Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7" find and update all the drivers and the necessary utilities?

  Thank you

  In my opinion you should not update BIOS. You have the latest version of BIOS 3.0 installed on your Tecra?

  Can you please tell us what you want to do exactly? You want to upgrade Vista preinstalled or you want to do the new install of Win7? If yes how do you do this? With the help of the Microsoft installation disc?

• Tecra M10 - 11U - on Windows 7 battery problem

  Deal all,

  I'm a happy user of a Tecra M10 - 11U use it mainly for businesses since the beginning. 2009 A few weeks, my company has decided to control Windows 7 on selected computers, upgrading to Windows Xp and Vista to Windows 7 32 bit. Unfortunately, shortly after the upgrade, a message "consider replacing your battery" appeared and quickly reduced battery performance. Consider that it used to last about 2 to 2.5 hours with XP and now it only lasts for 25 minutes. I checked several forums and the issue seems to be known to Microsoft, accusing the sellers for not releasing appropriate drivers ACPI. In some cases, the problem solved after the release of an updated firmware.

  Does anyone else has the same problem with their Toshiba laptop? And if any has an idea on how we could solve it? Also, a serious side effect of the problem is the complete battery destroy leading sooner or later the laptop to be transformed to dektop beeing constantly powered and pluged. So if anyone from Toshiba has the slightest idea on how we could prevent the Burnout full battery, please let us know!

  Hello Manos

  I have Tecra M10 but use Satellite A300 and Qosmio x 300. Two laptop computers were shipped with Vista, but a few months I use Win7 on two laptops. I must say that I have not noticed something similar to your problem described. Autonomy of the battery and the performance is equivalent to everything in fact as before.

  Is that Tecra M10 is supported for Win7 and everything should work fine.
  In my view there is not much you can do about it. Everything you can possibly try is do BIOS update and make your own and clean install of Win7 with all the available drivers, tools and utilities.

  If the problem persists, I think that you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Here you will not become a Toshiba statement about it so maybe is the track of service contact to learn more about this issue. They have access to the database of Toshiba or they can communicate with people of Toshiba and ask for good information.

• Tecra M10 - update of the BIOS says "this computer is not supported.

  Recently refurbished a M10 - 10I to reinstall the operating system. WinXP install at all so I try to update the BIOS as it seems quite old (V1.5). Most recent version (and is available) for this machine seems to be V3.0. Download and try to run the file "P0065V300" and get the message:

  Package for the TOSHIBA BIOS ver.3.3.0
  This computer is not supported

  What can I do? Its supposed to be for this model!

  Also, prefer a version of boot drive, but hey, I can use a version of Windows, assuming that it runs on Win7.

  Hello

  Tecra M10 - 10I belongs to the series of PTMB1E and according to the page of the Toshiba UE driver, BIOS v3.00 - WIN is the latest BIOS version which is available for this model.

  The BIOS update requires a few additional tools Toshiba as VAP (additional package for Win 7)

  If this driver isn't installed, the update of the BIOS would not work.

• Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

  Hello and thanks for reading.

  I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

  It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

  So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

  Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

  I was watching the following BIOS update:

  http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

  ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

  However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

  For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

  Thanks much for any help you can give.

  Hello

  > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

  There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

  The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

  I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
  In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

  Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
  In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

  PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

  Hi Thomas

  Do you need AC adapter or just cable that connects the adapter into a socket side and wall on the other hand?
