• Satellite U205-s5057: Vista SP1 auto update?

  On my Satellite U205-S5057 with Vista, I have the "automatic updates" turned on.
  However he has never downloaded and upgraded to SP1.

  I understand that it should not so until some driver software has been updated because there have been problems with SP1 unles blocking all drivers are up to date.
  How can I find and I need to update the drivers?

  Thank you rly

  Hello

  > But it never downloaded and upgraded to SP1.
  Perhaps you have simply not noticed that SP1 is installed?

  You can check if SP1 is installed on your portable computer by following these steps:

  (1) access control panel
  (2) select the system

  Here, you should see your Vista version and a notice if a SP1 is already installed.
  If it was not installed, choose the option Windows updates. You should find it on the left.

  On the other hand, you could install SP1 manually. First you must download SP1 from the Microsoft page. After the download is complete, you can perform the update.

  This might take a few minutes, but be patience. It is s ;)

• Downgrade from vista to XP Satellite U205-S5057

  Hey,.

  I have the U205-s5057 and I don't want the vista more :-(

  I want to downgrade vista to XP.

  How can I do? where I can find all the drivers for XP (I have only vista drivers and the drive recovery vista...)

  I have XP PRO SP3

  Thank you

  Satellite U205-s5057 seems to be designed for the American market and to the United States from Toshiba should therefore be responsible for the release of the pilot.

  The user above has already posted a link to the Toshiba page we.
  Usually, pilots should be released there.

  A single note; the A205 and other series of portable latest support new SATA HDD controller.
  This controller needs a driver that allows to recognize the HARD drive during the installation of XP.

  The SATA driver is part of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
  This storage manager can be downloaded from Intel or the Toshiba page page.

• Upgrade memory RAM of 2 GB or 4 GB on Satellite U205-S5057?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U205 - S5057 Intel Core 2 T5500 1.66 GHz, 1 GB of RAM

  I want to upgrade the RAM and I'm not sure of what would give the best performance, 4-GB, or 2GB?

  I know that 4 GB is probably better than 2 GB, but I wanted to know if there is a very big difference.

  Worth the investment to upgrade to 4 GB?

  Furthermore, I have Vista

  Thank you

  Hi mate,

  in most cases, 2 GB are absolutely enough since the Windows operating systems cannot take the advantages of more than 2 GB of RAM installed.

  I mean, you'll recognize a difference between 1 GB and 2 GB, but when comparing 2GB 4 GB then won´t you notice anything (except a little differences when working with Corel Draw X 3 and loading of 3 or 5 GB of photos in Corel... ;))

  So I suggest to increase your RAM and if you then want to put some larger HARD drive and faster in your machine from a disk faster HARD wins more performance, then all the rest in a mobile computer system.

• Can I replace the graphics card on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  Just a quick question about the graphics card in my Satellite pro a100 computer laptop. I heard different stories about this.

  The ATI RAdeon Mobility x 1400 card can be replaced on this laptop. If so how easy it is to do and how I could tell which cards would be compatible?

  Thank you

  MAcca.

  You cannot remove, replace or update the graphics card.
  The graphics chip is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it.
  In addition, the motherboard is compatible only with the current graphics chip.

  Good bye

• Can I replace the HDD on my Satellite W30DT-A-100?

  Hi all
  Unfortunately, the internal hard drive of my W30DT-A-100 isn t the fastest. Therefore, there is the possibility to replace it with an SSD?
  Thanks for your comments :)
  HJF

  In my opinion, this hardware upgrade is certainly possible, but due to construction and specific design, it must be done by authorized personnel only.
  All components are placed under the hood of the LCD screen and remove the cover of the LCD screen is pretty tricky.

  In my opinion, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can do for you and more importantly that you won't lose valid warranty.

• Noise of fan with Satellite U205-S5057

  I can't find any practical solution on the web.

  My Satellite is constantly the fan noise loud enough, even if little application runs.

  Someone knows a good solution for this (apart from the replacement of materials).
  This will be resolved by some BIOS settings or parameters of performance (energy-saving mode, etc.)?

  Thanks in advance

  * @ jomtones *.
  There is no Toshiba Power saver for Vista! That's why you can't change these settings!
  As you know, Vista has need of more resources and this would lead to an increase in consumption CPU/GPU and the high temperature. As a result, the cooling modules run more often.

• Satellite U205 - DVD Player problems

  I bought a Satellite U205-S5057 year last with Vista on it. For the first month, all video files burn very well. After that, I downloaded all kinds of codecs and trial versions of DVD burning software just got keep burning DVDs.

  After all downloads, of course, they began to come into conflict. I ran a system recovery and hoped that it would be clean all conflicts. I put some videos on a CD - rw and transferred to my book burning. When I clicked on the D: / he said "D: / no request." Then I re-installed Realplayer on the internet and now it burns in Realplayer 1 out of every 10 tent or if.

  Anyone know why I have so many problems with my CD/DVD drive? In addition, he always says D: / is a DVD player, even when I put a CD. Is this good?

  Hello

  Have you tried to remove the top and bottom of the registry entry filters?
  Not? OK, try this:

  First remove the CD/DVD drive device manager.
  Then, completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  Finally, restart the computer, and restart the system.
  The Windows operating system should recognize the drive and it needs to be reinstalled again.

• Satellite C670d - 11 k - can I replace the CPU?

  Can I replace the CPU on my 11K satellite C670D help please

  Hello

  The chipset is AMD A50M, so you can ONLY use AMD processors that are supported by the chipset.
  But it is still open question whether the BIOS would support the new processor.

  Since updates are not official supported by any laptop manufacturer, you will not find this info anywhere...
  If these updates are at your own risk, and no one would be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade the CPU.

  In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported. Some people have talked about successful upgrade of CPU, but I think that it is not necessary. Upgrade of RAM to the maximum level will increase the performance of the laptop and it should be enough. What do you think about this?

  Is there a reason for upgrade CPU?

• I can't install Vista x 64 Bios on Satellite A200

  Months ago that I posted that I have intalled Vista x 64 home premiun on my Satellite A200 and I can't install Vista 64-bit bios.
  But today, after trying to install new Vista 2.50 x 64 Vios and have the same problem using Toshiba Recovery CD.
  I need to install Vista 32 bit and I can Flash the new 2.50 Bios in Vista 32.

  So I think that my CD rom is ok and I think I have not install Vista x 64 Bios because have not all drivers.

  Whats is your opinion?

  Hello

  I found your other thread regarding the update of the BIOS in Vista 64-bit:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/message.jspa?MessageID=123211#123211

  It seems that something was\is with your ROM BIOS module and it was therefore not possible to update the BIOS on the A200.
  You case that neither BIOS 32 bits or 64-bit BIOS update is possible

  So, my recommendation is. Contact the ASP in your country for a control.
  Don t be angry with me, but I don't see other reasons why you are not able to update the BIOS

  Good luck
