Can I switch to i5 or i7 Core 2 Duo on the Satellite A500-PSAM3A

Hey there.

I wondered if I would be able to change the cpu on my computer of my 2.10 Ghz Intel core 2 duo processor i5 or i7 and wanted to know if I could, because I heard all that stuff about requiring a special chipset or a new card mother for something like that.

Oh Yes... my laptop model is Toshiba Satellite A500-PSAM3A-04000E

So as I said, I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you.

+ Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop? +

_Why an Exchange must / can not be done: _

No significant performance will be won (-> price vs performance comparison)

It is unclear if the new processor is compatible to the system board. Integrated chipsets can take charge of their technical specifications a wide range of processors, but this does not mean that all types of CPU can be used in a mobile system, since integrated cooling systems are designed individually for each set of model in order to ensure the optimal operation of the machine. An incorrect CPU can cause the system to overheat and damage the internal system components.

In most cases, the BIOS does not work with the replaced CPU which causes a malfunction of the machine. The BIOS needs to be rewritten after each Exchange of a CPU that can only be done by an authorized Toshiba service partner.

The immediate revocation of the warranty will apply if the part of the core component have been modified by the customer. This also applies when the machine was not disassembled by a certified Toshiba technician.

    I bought Adobe Elements with my camera.  Can I switch to Lightroom with some type of credit for the purchase, I already have?

    I don't think that there is any such path upgrade to Lightroom. Lightroom can work with Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as a complementary product to improve and provide features that are not possible in Lightroom itself. For example, with Lightroom, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to remove unwanted objects from an image. Or, there may be sometimes a few necessary dusting that Lightroom cannot do just effectively on its own. If Lightroom offers an easy way to move from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements image in order to more easily accomplish some of these specialized tasks.

  • How can disable switch between different input languages (= keyboard languages) by pressing the Alt + Shift keys? __

    Although I can now perform steps

    3. In the Regional And Language Options dialog box tab, under Text Services and input languages, click details.

    Hello
    I found the place where exactly this may be small :).

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
    "Hotkey" = "1".
    'Language Hotkey' = '3 '.
    'Shortcut page layout' = '2 '.

    Change the value of "Language Hotkey" accordingly.

    1 sequence of button enabled; Use Left ALT + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    2 key activated sequence; Use CTRL + SHIFT to switch between locales.
    3 invalid key sequences.
    4 If the default locale is Thai, the grave accent key activates / deactivates the input locale. otherwise the keystrokes are disabled.

    Another problem is that it sits under HKCU as well, same as if I pack this setting with MSI, it won't have a any use to me. Since then, installation is done using MSI localadmin account and HKCU is associated with the current session. If a new user who connects to this settting does not apply, and even if it rises "access denied" :(

    Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • can I switch from icloud photo library app photos without losing the photos

    I have my settings so that all my photos have been removed from iTunes and are now accessible via the iCloud library, but I don't like the way they are stored in all THE PICTURES rather than in their respective albums that I spent hours and hours of sorting.

    If I drag iCloud photo Library, everything returns to how it was (basically, my photos will appear on my iPad in their albums?)

    The images are not stored in iTunes, so I don't know what you removed and hence. Your photos and your videos are stored and organized in the Photos app, on your computer and on your iDevices. iCloud library is how they are synchronized between all of your devices. This includes your albums. If you don't see any albums on your iPad, maybe not looking in the right place? One caveat is that you have nested folders.

    You can disable iCPL on your iPad and then return to using iTunes to sync photos, but like I said, you should see your albums with iCPL.

    What I'm collecting after a short drive through the HMMs, your machine will not support Ultra NAV.

    Now, I could be wrong... know is to remove the keyboard and look for a connector to spare about two inches or more in the keyboard connector. If it is there, the laptop will be Ultra NAV. Otherwise, it will not...

    Good luck.

  • Can I switch from 6.0 Pro standard 9 by using the upgrade option?

    I have a Win XP computer running Adobe 6.0 Pro and a new Windows 7 computer that won't 6.0.  If I bought the upgrade to Adobe 9 Standard, can I load it on both computers?  Because Win 7 rejects Adobe 6, upgrade to Adobe 9 will install OK?

    9 should take over on time Yes.

    You won't need to install 6 (on the Windows 7 machine) to install 9. 9 comes with a full installer. But you'll need your old serial number.

    The task manager has two graphics and I can change to/from the "one graph per cpu and one graph, all CPUs" in the options display, although that I thought she should have 4 graphics; which is logical that the CPU has 4 wires, so should have 4 graphics.

    Any ideas? I tried msconfig and reset the number of processors, but then it resets the memory to 2 GB so I have to reset that and restart it to recognize all the 6 GB of ram. but then my cpu is a nucleus! It seems that I have a dual core cpu and 2 GB of RAM or a simple core cpu and 6 GB ram! ATM I'm on a single processor core with 6 GB of ram. I think the only thing I can do is reset the cpu in msconfig and reboot and see if it works, but then it will set the RAM to 2 GB. I 'afraid' to uncheck the CPU and RAM at the same time, incase of my laptop computer won't load at all. What do you think?

    It is not too much a problem; If I had only 2/3 GB of RAM, then it would be a problem, would be just nice to have my CPU dual core of return!

    As always, I would be really grateful for any help with it.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  • WIN8 - Wi - Fi can not be activated on the Satellite A500-18 X

    I've recently updated to windows 8, and everything was fine until my wifi disabled.
    My thoughts are that as I turned off the front switch, I now activate the wi - fi via the fn keys. The problem is that there is no drivers for this, I can not turn on wi - fi, because my fn keys do not work...

    It'll be an update this driver (Ithink it's the utility of flash media requiring the upgrade)? or is it possible to activate the wireless without the fn keys?

    Just a question about the beginning: have you checked Win8 support for your laptop model?
    If it isn't check on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/windows8-message > Toshiba compatibility matrix

    To be honest I m not so sure on this subject.
    In any case, try to install Toshiba value added package offered for some models supported.

  • Can I combine DDR2 667 MHZ DDR2 800 or lower on the Satellite A200 - 1 MB?

    Hello guys

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 MB and my uncle also has a hp Pavilion dv6183ea
    and we are facing the same problem, the computer is delivered with 2 x 512 DDR2 667
    We have to increase the Ram but the Ram DDR2 667 is no longer available in our market.
    The DDR2 800 is available
    can I safely use the DDR2-800 on my A200 - 1 MB or use the combination of DDR2 667 with a new DDR2 800 with no problems on my computer or on the computer of the uncle?
    I have windows vista and uncle is windows xp

    Thank you

    Hello

    Usually, you can use modules of RAM and faster RAM module (in your case, DDR2 800 Mhz) would be clocked at 667 Mhz.
    But in many cases, there are problems of compatibility in many cases, the laptop will not start using different Rams.

    So I think that it of better to use exactly the same RAM modules to avoid these problems, but who knows, maybe you could mix without any problem, you will have to try this out!

  • Can't get webcam Chicony USB 2.0 to work on the Satellite A200

    Hi all

    I noticed that other people have posted messages asking for help on this subject. I have problems in the webcam integrated on my laptop model Satellite A200. There are no icons in what concerns this camera and I'm puzzled because the manual doesn't even mention the camera.

    There is no link in the menu all startup programs. I tried the solution suggested in the forum to add this as a USB but the phone said that there was a mistake. I'm not the person more computer in the world and I would be grateful if someone wants to be good enough to post a step by step guide on how to get this on camera. It seems to be a common problem for those of us with the A200 so it would be great if someone could help.

    Thanks in advance

    Helsfeas if you use the pre-installed Windows Vista you will be able to find the installer for your webcam chicony under the C: don't / drivers directory Toshiba which must be in your hard drive. If you run the installation program you will get an icon in your bar of tasks and on your left, follow a pop up window that can turn on your camera and put effects on it.

    If you have downgraded to WinXp please tell me if I can send you on the program, as I recorded it before the mine downgrading to XP.

    Hope I was of any help...
