• Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

  Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

  And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

  Thanks in advance for any information.

  Hello

  I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

  Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

• Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

  I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

  Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

  Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

  I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
  Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

  The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

  To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

  However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.

• Re: Satellite M70-131 - RAM and CPU upgrade

  Hello, I have 2 questions:
  1 is it possible to install more then 2048 MB RAM in M70 - 131. If someone tried this?
  2. is it possible to install the new processor of M70 - 131? Now, i've got Pentium M (750) 1, 86GHz (Dothan, 533 MHz). Can I install for example Pentium M (780) 2.26 GHz or higher?

  Hello

  The M70 supports max 2 GB of RAM and upgrade the CPU is usually not possible and undesirable for different reasons.
  In most cases the overheating is the main reason why you shouldn't t try to upgrade the processor. Secondly, the BIOS was not designed to handle the different processors and no one will be able to tell if your cell phone will work stable after an upgrade of the CPU.

• X 305-Q705 - GPU and CPU upgrades possible?

  Question 1:
  I know that on some models have 2 GPU.
  How can I upgrade the 9700 M GTS and I use crossfire or SLI?

  Question 2:
  What processor can I buy for my laptop?

  Thank you very much
  Zyon

  It is not possible to upgrade the GPU, sorry and SLi for desktop computers, not for laptops.

  The Qosmio X 300 supports Intel Dual and Quad Core CPU

  Toshiba doesn't supports upgrades CPU or GPU.

  I think that you should not pass the X 300. The Qosmio X 300 has enough power for all the work and games.

• HP G56 122 - US graphic and CPU upgrade

  Hello, almost two years ago now, I bought a HP G56 122-US, and that the games become more recent, it becomes more difficult to play games. I first bought so I could take it place and still play my games but now my CPU is too slow for some and my graphics card is good enough and barely less from where I have bad lag or framerate problems. So my question is can I replace my graphics card and my processor or not. If I can improve or another what should I look for information? I know that I can take my laptop outside and check if its welded on and learn for myself but I don't want to lose a screw or put something back wrong and not even be able to upgrade. In addition, there are about 20 screws on the bottom. Thanks in advance.

• XPS 730 Bios and the upgrade of computer

  Hello world

  I put to level my computer XPS 730 (2008) a failure of the HD, installing more RAM, windows 7 64 bit. and an updated video card.

  I read online that I maybe need to Flash the bios for the new ram work, I have never flashed the bios on my computer before because I was always afraid that I might do something wrong and cause damage to the system.

  Therefore, I was wondering if it would be better to install my Dell Vista OS 32 bit original which is consistent with my service tag and update the bios through this direct links tag with Dell then upgrade win7 Vista or do a clean installation of 7 or just install the new OS and download an update of the bios of Dell.

  Any advice would be most appreciated

  Rebby27

  Better to update the BIOS before any update is made

  Also, carefully read the installation instructions to update the BIOS, before to Flash the BIOS.

• Satellite A100 - 495 (PSAA9) - CPU and GPU upgrade

  Hi all

  I have a few questions.
  I have a Satellite A100-495 with 2 GB of Ram, Core2Duo 1.83 GHz (2 x; T5600) and an NVIDIA Geforce 7600go.
  I want to spend the CPU and the GPU. Is this possible?
  I don't want to do. I am looking for a store (if possible in Germany) that can do this.

  If its possible, what it costs? And what store can I speak?

  If this is not possible-> why? It is fixed; It getting too hot?

  What solution do I? I don't want to buy a new laptop.

  Kind regards
  Dave

  Update CPU and GPU on laptop computers is complicated enough or is not possible. At first, I must say that GPU is part of the motherboard and graphics card can not be upgraded at all.

  What about the CPU upgrade? Toshiba authorized service providers will not do that and the CPU upgrade is not supported. Few people on this forum have talked about CPU upgrade, but for me the risk is too high. All hardware components are adapted to the work well together and also to reduce the risk of damaging the material. The BIOS is also suitable for the specific hardware configuration. The values of the fans are also tested and there is no risk of overheating.

  Change CPU, you will get no more powerful laptop. Modern processors are powerful enough and a few MHz more won't do anymore difference. What you can do is to increase the RAM to the maximum level - 4 GB. That s all what you should do and your laptop runs a lot faster.

  Also be careful on the configuration of the operating system. This will also help make your laptop faster than before.

  By the way: for operations you need more power? What you want to do with your laptop?

  There is no video card to upgrade, but for the models of series AMD A video is contained in the processor itself and an upgrade of the processor also carries with it an upgrade for HD 7640 G HD 7660 G video. It's light but a bit noticeable and clock speed go from 2.8 ghz to 3.2 ghz, which is not huge but noticeable. Memory is a DDR3-1600 module, and you can replace your 2 gig with a 4 gig to spend 6 to 8.

  Memory upgrade is as easy as... CPU/APU don't upgrade not so much.

• Vista will have to reinstall if the upgrade card motherboard and CPU?

  So I'm wanting to upgrade my computer and I can't find a clear answer, if when I install a new one, a motherboard and CPU, but with the same RAM and the hard drive and the motherboard did not fail, I need a new installation of windows?

  If vista came preinatalled your computer, it is rated an oem license as such is related to the material that it is initially installed on

  If you have a retail license, you can upgrade your card motherboard and CPU

  you will probably have to reinstall vista while the hard drive with the existing vista installation contains the drivers for the old motherboard and probably do not start correctly

• Battery problem (CPU a bottleneck) with BIOS and Intel SpeedStep technology.

  The question is this:

  1. If the AC adapter and the battery are both connected on the X201T, the speed of the CPU (base clock) is capable of running at the maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
  2. If only the battery is connected, the speed of the CPU is still able to run at maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
  3. If only the AC adapter is plugged in, the speed of the CPU is now 'limited' and can run only at 1.2 GHz.
  4 in addition, I also ran Windows Experience Index assessment (built-in to Windows 7) and received a score of 6.3 with the battery or the AC adapter is plugged in, but only a score of 4.2 with only the AC adapter.
  5. the system is significantly slower and cursor shifts are more noticeable when the battery is disconnected.

  Control Panel:
  A.the system has been set at maximum Performance with all the power saving settings turned off. The system has been fully updated for the latest updates and possible drivers from 12/03/10 at the time of the breathalyzer test.  No other software is installed that came with the ThinkPad when I received it.
  B. with the connection and disconnection of the battery, the system has been individually disabled every time and restarted.
  C. I ran full system Test and system through Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox stress Test and received no errors to ensure that the question was not due to system errors.
  D. I used CPU - Z 1.56 v to monitor the speed of the CPU, all running Intel BurnTest v2.50 to insist on the system.
  E. the problem is reproducible and probably a system wide problem/bug, because I tested it on two my X201T (I know it's weird, but I have two of these amazing machines).

  Update:

  After further testing, I've isolated the problem of "Bottleneck the CPU processor without battery" occurs only when the technology Intel SpeedStep in BIOS is enabled. Only when the SpeedStep technology option is cleared "completely", this problem will not occur. However, if the SpeedStep technology is enabled, even when the AC is set on maximum Performance, the CPU processor speed is limited when the battery is disconnected with the tablet running only on the AC adapter. This seems to be a bug in the BIOS.

  If someone can communicate this problem Lenovo Engineering Department so that they can arrive at a solution, that would be great and very helpful. So I can work on my system without always having the battery plugged.

  There are 2 solutions for that.

  You spend more money for a 90W power adapter (which I did), then you can disconnect the battery and it will run at full speed.

  Or, you go into the BIOS and turn off IntelSpeedStep.

  Unfortunately, without the battery, when only using the 65W adapter, your speed will be throttled (I think it's a mistake on the end of Lenovo, but they claim it's normal).

• HP Envy m6 1125dx: how to upgrade the bios and uefi without a hard drive

  I can't install OS, including Windows 8.1 discs. After that I get so far along, installing Windows says there is no hard drive, but it's there!

  I see that my BIOS is outdated. When I download the new BIOS from hp.com, I get an executable file

  which of course does not work on a computer that does not start. I can't find the bios file when I run

  the executable file on another laptop.

  So, I want to update bios and uefi to see if that helps with my problem.

  The current Bios is F.11

  What is necessary to do is to extract the sp66782.exe file to a folder on the second computer.

  Plug the key into a port on the computer laptop problem.

  Press the power button / stop the laptop and immediately press and hold the Windows key and the B key until the phone reacts and starts the BIOS recovery.

  If all goes well, that will recover the BIOS corrupted with the new copy which is on the flash drive.

  There is a detailed description of another method to do this on the thread of the forum according to 3rd party.

  Using this method will result in certain risks that you have to accept if you decide to follow this way to unbrick your laptop. Any update of the BIOS manually is risky.

  

• Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 i5 or i7 i3 CPU upgrade

  Hi everyone, I'm having 7 Toshiba Satellite Pro S500 Notebooks here and want to update these shit Core i3 330M and 350M, 370 M and 380M CPU for Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. I'm not quite sure what CPU Socket, I have to buy and which generations of CPUS are supported by the S500. I processors up to 380 M Corei3 assembled in these things now and think its a HM55 Express chipset inside which must allow to i5 and i7 processors. I already had problems in upgrading toshiba tecra A9 modells and after upgrading CPU they were running very well and the FAN was blowing ultra noisy at speed of 100% all the time without ever turning off again even if the laptop could be frozen at 0 ° C and it has never been warm. Level 3^rd Toshiba support then told me that he would need a firmware update they do provide customers and was told to send books to repair @ € 50 each, just to update this microcode. So I would ask if anyone has a list of processors supported for the S500 modells?
  Numbers of exact model I have:
  Satellite Pro S500-106 (PSSE0E-19M06SLD)
  Satellite Pro S500-147 (PSSE0E-0HH06SLD)
  Satellite Pro S500-132 (PSSE0E-09G05ELD)

  Hope someone can help, I don't want to end up buying an i7 or i5 cpu, spending 50 dollars, investing 4 hours work and end up with a laptop unusable, I immediately dismantle again just for the work that I had invested... Forward your answers J

  Best thing to do is to choose a CPU provided with one of the other S500 PSSE0E patterns. This way you can be sure the BIOS supports.
  Some portable computers require a cooling system calibration after that another CPU is installed. An ASP can do the calibration.

• Equium L20-264 - CPU upgrade

  Hello world

  I have Toshiba Equium L20-264 and I want to move into gear
  Can someone help me please?

  I had already upgraded to 2 GB of Ram, but my CPU is still 1.4 GHz.

  Please guide me what to do and if it supports several Ghz processor, which will be the best place to buy.

  Thank you.

  I assume that you have not read all the posts here in the forum about upgrading the CPU s for laptop?
  Did you?

  Some facts first:
  Update CPU is very delicate and depends on the chipset and BIOS support.
  In case one of the parties (chipset or bios) would not support new CPU, the will to power laptop on.

  Second: the laptop seems to be equipped with an Intel Celeron - M CPU, and I suppose the other Intel Celeron-M CPU be compatible:
  Intel Celeron M 370 (1.5 Ghz)
  Intel Celeron M 380 (1.6 Ghz)

  Everything supports the FSB 400 Mhz

  But guess what? Even if you add the new processor at 1.6 Ghz, the performance gain will be not noticeable. So in my eyes, CPU upgrade for this old book is useless. It won't add any performance benefits.
