• A few questions on the upgrade of the Satellite M30x 154

  Hi all

  I plan on upgrading my Satellite M30x-154.
  I was wondering if you guys would like to know before upgrading if the things I want to buy this would work.

  I would change my Hitachi 60 GB for a Seagate 100 g (link following) would this work?

  I have BIOS version 1.90.

  I intend to install Vista on it. I'll be able to use an OEM copy?

  I currently have 1 GB custom memory Idleness I plan on implementing to 2 GB inside
  It still works fine?

  See you soon

  Hello

  1 upgrade HDD. I think it will work because some models of satellite M30X was also built with 100 GB directly from Toshiba.

  2 OEM Vista will not work because the OEM of Vista version needs a special BIOS for activation (BIOS for VISTA). You can install it but needs activation after a few days.

  3. the satellite M30X is 2 GB max memory, which means that it is possible to install strips of memory 2 x 1 GB... but I can't say if Crosiar memory will work but normally they work. The original partnumbers memory for a 1 GB module is 1024Mo PC2100/PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  I hope this will help you.

• How to redefine the keyboard of the Satellite M30X?

  Can someone help me to redefine the keyboard of the Satellite M30X?

  Unfortunately my mother tongue (i.e. Polish) widely uses the right Alt to produce some unique signs. There are many schools, but I prefer to use thumb to press. Unlike other laptops that I used this key on my current Toshiba is far right, making it impossible to strike by the thumb. There is an empty key right next to the space bar. In my setup, it is equivalent to--------, and I want to make another right Alt.

  Thanks in advance

  Witold

  Hello

  As much as I know there is no possibility to redefine the keys on the keyboard. The only thing that allows you to redefine is the keyboard input language. This option, you can find in Control Panel under regional and language options.

  Good bye

• Update BIOS password on the Satellite P200

  Hello

  I had a model number P200 laptop computer satellite PSPB6E-03G02TEN fongr in the last two months.

  On the navigation of the Toshiba support and dowloads I looked up my model etc number to see what that downloads were available. Is he saying there were several updates and the other that it was an update of the bios. As the current bios was for 2007 and it was for 2008, I thought I might as well upddate.

  Being a beginner and not realizing how the bios is on a computer - and there is nothing to say it needed an expert--I have conclusive to download.

  I thought it was going well and he came to my computer to restart. However, when it happened it says it need a password and did doesn't have a clue what they were talking about. The recovery disk has failed.

  I contacted Toshiba and I now have to take the laptop to a Toshiba service repairman here in Poole, Dorset.

  I am now worried in case I've done something that invalidate my warranty.

  Why Toshiba do not send these updates if they can do this damage in inexperienced hands. I'm angry at myself and would not have hit with a barge pole if I had know the importance of the bios. I know that I will never touch it again.

  Would appreciate some sympathy.

  Hello

  I understand your situation. You´re worried but not just for you, also about Toshiba why they release these updates for important parts of a computer that do not work correctly.
  Don t worry, you do nothing wrong. Your warranty would be invalid after that. The repair will be covered by the warranty of your machine and after that nothing cannot be revoked or not valid. So Don t worry, the guys in the shop/repair service center will fix this and I hope that you´re not worried to do a BIOS update next time.

  I promise you it happened only once and you don t have doubts if it will never happen. I mean, I have computers laptop toshiba for years and I have never such problems. With this bios password, I found a big problem the first time Toshiba and I hope that they won´t remake such a failure.

  Welcome and good weekend

• Problems on the Satellite M30X 124

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30X-124. He stopped the electric network load when the laptop is turned on. The battery seems to be OK and witnesses to support lights online when I play with the charge lead to the back of the computer. I tried another charger and it is certainly not the charger or the charging cable. The problem seems to be at the back of the laptop when the mainstream point of entry is.

  I referred to this problem in the decision-making authorized Toshiba service and they believe the problem is the motherboard and I would like to replace it (they have not seen or inspect the laptop). The only problem is that the replacement of the motherboard is like buying a new laptop for high cost. Any ideas?
  I believe that the problem must be that he connection between the charge lead and the entrance to the main power supply does not work and there may be something loose that can be fixed. I'd rather do something myself rather than spend a lot of money.

  Any ideas please.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I wouldn recommend you do it by yourself, but could try. I heard that this phenomenon comes from a loose AC plug that must be welded to the card.
  Here´s a site that should help you in your mission: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

  If in doubt then I suggest you buy a new machine, rather than spending money for your old beautiful Clipboard. ;)

• Updating the BIOS is dead the satellite Pro P300-1AY

  Hi all

  found this forum and really hoping that he can help me!
  I bought a satellite Pro P300-1AY two years ago, it cost me £900 nr so I thought it would be worthy of a purchase.

  A year ago the USBs stopped working, I do it every working solution I could think of anything will do, finally gave up and learned to live without USBs!

  However, a few weeks ago, the laptop at the start stop, I didn't get was the black screen. Probably a video problem I did all the memory check hard drive everything else, however, it was only an intermittent problem, I found if I he tilted on the side she would begin, another thing to live with!

  But two days ago, I heard that if I've updated the BIOS, it could solve all my problems. so I went to the Toshiba site, found the BIOS updated and downloaded, but to halfway through the installation, the laptop froze and I couldn't t he put it off and had to take the battery out to turn it off!

  And ve you may have guessed, he's now won t start. Even its worst, LED lights, and if I put a disc in the cd I can hear it whirring, but that s it.

  Is - this irreparable? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?
  Ty for your time in reading :)

  Hello

  > Is it irretrievably? I ve heard of priming of the cd with the original BIOS with a combination of keys or I'm hoping against hope?

  Well, usually the BIOS could once again be reflashed, but you would need a traditional version of the BIOS update.
  This version is available for Toshiba FSA.

  So you will need to get in touch with a local ASP technician that could reflash the Rom BIOS module.
  Eventually, after this update the specifications would be stable.

  Good luck

  Hello

  Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

  Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

  I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

  While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

  The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

  I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

  If you have an idea thanks ;)

  Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
  You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.

• Bad BIOS installed on the Satellite A200

  I had one laptop Satellite A200 and I downloaded and installed an incorrect BIOS. Then I restarted my laptop and it is empty. I researched and downloaded many programs, but I don't have a USB floppy drive. I downloaded phlash16, created an autoexec.bat file and follow all directions I've read on different post of different Web sites.

  Can someone please help me to recover my BIOS using the virtual floppy drive to USB and can someone please give a process step by step on how to reflash the BIOS. My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200. Please give me a BIOS for my laptop.

  Please email me [email protected]

  Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi mate

  > I had a laptop Satellite A200 and I downloaded and installed an incorrect BIOS. Then I restarted my laptop and it is empty

  I'm afraid, you will need to contact the ASP in your country in order to solve this problem of m

  Toshiba driver page contains no traditional BIOS updates but only focus on the Win BIOS update, this means that you will not be able to update the BIOS by using a floppy disk because you don t have a traditional BIOS version

  Get in contact with the ASO technician, they can help you!

• Problem installing BIOS update on the satellite U series

  Installation of Toshiba TEMPRO informed me there's an update of the BIOS (published April 7, 2010) must be installed.

  When I received this notification I downloaded the .zip file and extract its content - BIOS_UPDATE_V170.exe-, but the execution of this file, I got a popup error saying < file "c:\". ' is not accessible >. I decided there must be a bug in the installer that will be corrected in time, so I have nothing and waited.

  Today, I received another notice that the BIOS update was available, but even once, I get the same error. My c:\ folder seems OK!
  The BIOS file is in C:\TOSHIBA\ARSENAL10_10G_BIOS_UPDATE_V170_WIN where I extracted to (having initially tried to run my downloads folder, I thought I'd try also, but it seems to make no difference).

  Can anyone offer any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
  If not, how can I get advice from Toshiba?

  See you soon

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite M30X was delivered with a screen 15.4 "(1280 x 800) view wide TFT color display."

  Only the dimensions of the screen are important. So if you want you can search a 15.4 "display.
  By the way; the display is one of the most expensive parts of laptop. Perhaps a second hand M30X, or a display of second hand would be a better solution as to buy a new screen for around $ 300.

• Update disk for Satellite M30X-102

  Hello

  No one knows what drives I can install in my M30x?
  Currently, I have a 40 GB toshiba drive. I would like to know if BIOS supports more than 80 GB drives.
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Well, I quite agree with the position of the user of the comments above.
  If you use a disk HARD with size is not compatible if the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive successfully.
  You must use the HARD drive with the size of the support.
  But in your case the Satellite M30X should support 40 GB HARD disk sizes / 60 GB and 80 GB 5400 RPM and a size of 100 GB HARD drive at 4200 RPM.

  Goodbye :)
