Can Portege 4000 - I upgrade card WLAN Draft N?

I finally decided to settle with XP and not 2000. While the performance is slightly slower, support will be better.

Noticed that the map internal wireless 802. 11 b, which is slow. Can it be replaced by a newer version (n or g?) or are there limits to the motherboard? Safer and more advisable to buy an external wireless card. This can go up to g n or alone?

Will also need to buy a USB 2.0 pc card, since it is only USB 1.1.

Hello

You cannot use Draft N because N 2-wire antenna WLan 802.11 needs.
The old WiFi standards use 2 antenna cables and I guess this good old classic has been equipped with antenna WLan 3 son.

Only the standard WLan 802.11 G is therefore theoretically possible.

As far as I know, you need a Wlan card miniPCI 802.11 standard.
So glasses for some options.

  • Portege 4000 memory upgrade

    I bought memory to upgrade my Portege 4000 (128 MB SDRAM SODIMM 144 pin) when I installed in the empty slot and turned on the laptop the green light at the top came on, power led but nothing started and no noise to suggest whatever it is started either!

    I took this new module and leave the original in there and it starts perfectly. Does anyone know what is the problem?

    Help, please!
    Thanks in advance!

    It s a clear man thing memory module is faulty, or you use only is not supported and not supported one!
    The Portege 4000 supports max 1024MB (2x512MB) memory.
    I think you should try the Toshiba recommended memory SDRAM like these modules:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
    PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  • Re: Portege 4000 - Hardware upgrades

    First of all, I would like to thank Toshiba to produce this a great product. This Toshiba laptop was bought in September 2001, with Windows 98 installed and runs another 10 years later! It is a great testament to the designers and developers at Toshiba.

    I now have it brought in the real world with Windows XP!

    I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the processor without replacing the motherboard? In addition, I bought a laptop PCMCIA USB 2.0 card. My dongle prefers the genuine USB Sockets, but is possible to catch from 1.1 to 2.0 or do I have to buy an external adapter?

    Thank you

  • Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

    I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

    -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

    -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

    -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

    -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

    Thanks much for any help.

    You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
    After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

  • Portege 4000 1 GB memory upgrade?

    Hello!
    I have an old laptop Toshiba Portege 4000.
    The manual indicates a upgrade memory up to 512 MB (2x256MB) is possible. But the technical specification on toshiba-live website indicates an upgrade memory up to 1 GB (2x512MB) is possible.
    I brought 2x512MB (SO-DIMM 512 MB SD RAM SDRAM PC133 PC 133 512 MB 144 PINS) ANONYMOUS memory from ebay and it does not work. The system does not start.

    Now my question. Can I go up to 1 GB with the Kingston memory recommended toshiba or it just won't work in general?
    Anyone here with experience on that?

    Thanks in advance.

    normally a portege 4000 is upgradeble up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB sdram pc133, 3, 3v)

    However the architecture and the number of tokens on the modules can cause an incomptability, so I guess that "misfortune."

    on ebay-express you can find them for about 50 US$ (search for portege 4000; memory)

  • Portege 4000 - I would like to upgrade memory: 256 MB to 512 MB

    Hello

    I have a Portege 4000 and want to upgrade the memory: 256 MB to 512 MB.
    It has 98SE and the user always wants to keep this system.

    Does anyone know if there is a known issue with the upgrade to 512 MB I saw a thread in 2005, by someone who had a problem?

    I suppose that the memory SODIMM PC133. I ordered a 512 MB of RAM to aememory last year, but the system would have not even begun. Maybe they had sent me the wrong chip?

    Thank you

    Tim

    Hmm. perhaps that the RAM modules are not 100% compatible
    To my knowledge, it should be possible to upgrade the RAM up. 1 GB (2 x 512 MB)
    You could also upgrade to 512 MB by using one or two 256 MB modules.

    You must use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules and I found these modules that are compatible:
    PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
    PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)

  • Can I use 80 GB in Portege 4000?

    I'm tired of searching for a hard drive for my computer laptop Toshiba Portege 4000 (PIII). The only ones available come from 80 GB. Is there a way I can fit this size of hard drive in my laptop? I need to know this before as I have buy a.

    Very difficult to say if the BIOS will recognize that the new inserted 80 GB of HARD drive.
    As far as I know that the Portege 4000 has been delivered with the 20 GB HARD drive.

    Hmm, I think the 80 GB could works but he can't say for sure!
    You will need to test because the Toshiba does not have any official information on the compatible HARD drive sizes.

    What you need is a HARD drive that supports an IDE interface. You could buy one with ATA5 (U - DMA 5 100 Mbps), but it will only work to 66 MB/s due to the limitation of HARD disk controller.

  • Can what type of video card I buy to upgrade a Pavilion a1000y? What are the specs?

    I upgraded my desktop HP Pavilion to Win7 a1000y and the default value of the monitor is VGA. the resolution is not good for the big screen that I use. I'll try to find the PCI slot specifications and/or specifications of a video card, that I can add to the upgrade of the video to the monitor and does not get distorted image.

    I didn't Eve whether this model can use a video card, since he already come with video included in the motherboard, if that makes sense.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    See you soon

    AB

    The motherboard of your PC has PCI slots. This means that you will need a PCI video card and not the generation of current PCI Express x 16 video cards.

    This webage Newegg shows the type of card you need. I recommend that you do not have a card with more than 512 MB RAM video.

  • Portege 4000 running XP Pro SP2, no WPA with Wireless option

    Hello
    Can someone let me know if the Portege 4000 Mini wireless adapter supports WPA? I tried the Cisco and Lucent drivers on the Toshiba site with no joy and I am up to date with XP, SP2 etc.. The card works fine with an open wireless link.
    Thank you

    Hi Charlie

    AFAIK This oldie, Portege 4000, was equipped with the card Wireless LAN ORiNOCO (Agere).
    According to the user manual the Wlan card supports only data encryption Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP short).
    So I doubt that the WPA would be available.

    Maybe you can switch on an external USB WLan key that supports the ciphers.

  • Portege 4000 - Win 98SE want to update

    I have a Portege 4000 and I'm looking to switch from Windows 98SE. The obvious alternatives are W2000, XP or Ubuntu Linux.

    If I can find a full version of Windows XP Home edition, I'd be able to make a clean (rather than upgrade) installation and get drivers?
    Officially, the laptop is only compatible with 98SE or 2000, but these systems are old now.

    I imagine that if I update XP 98SE on it will keep all the drivers, but this is not my preferred method of installation and installs own are better.

    Win98 uses Win95 Basic code, which is not compatible with NT/2000/XP. If the Win98 drivers do not work.

    You must back up your documents, format C: then install fresh XP.

    You can use the drivers Windows 2000 XP - sound basically the same operating system internally.
    If for any reason any the Win2000 drivers do not work, you can use XP drivers from other models of same era.
