Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

Hello

I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

Thank you

Hello!

In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

Check this Toshiba document and think about it:

  • Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

    Hi all

    My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

    SUGESTIONS are welcome.

    TKS

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
    There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

    The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
    You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

    Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

    Hello!

    I put t know how much it costs to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM. This according to the modules that you can buy and where buy you it.
    Upgrade the RAM, you need modules with DDR2 (667 MHZ) specification.

    And change the RAM is quite easy. Consult your user manual, you can find instructions and pictures how to do this. ;)

  • How can satellite A210-15Y - I upgrade the firmware of the DVD drive?

    I have download the .zip on the Toshiba site and extract. I run TSL632H_TO03.exe

    Hello!

    I think that there is a problem with the file that you downloaded.

    I checked the page of European Toshiba for Satellite A210 driver download and I can't find the TO03 firmware. I downloaded the zip file and zip in this file is a readme file and another zip file which contains an exe file that you need to start only.

    Maybe you need to download the file again. I can't find a .bat file in the archive. ?:|

  • Satellite A200 (PSAFCA) does not work after BIOS update triying

    Hello

    I was hoping if someone could help me pls.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 (PSAFCA).
    Recently, I tried the bios update and while I flashed the bios I forgot to plug the laptop into the current and the battery was flat at half way through the flashing.

    Thus the laptop now won't post when I turn on and all I get is a white screen.
    I was wondering if someone could pls advise me on how I can get the old bios back or even a method of flashing it if I put the bios back in so I can at least get a message to display on the screen.

    Any help that you provide would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss.

    Thanking you in advance

    > while I flashed the bios I forgot to plug the laptop into the current and the battery flat at half way through the flashing.

    Well buddy, the cell must always be connected to the mains during the execution of an update of the BIOS! This is very important!
    Now it looks like the update of BIOS didn't t run and finish correctly and the ROM module seems to be flashed incorrectly.

    Unfortunately, there is no other solution to communicate with ASP guys and ask for help! They should be able to help you.

    But note; in the worst cases, the ROM module is unfortunate and the motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • Can satellite A200-1N7 - I remove Intel Matrix Storage Manager?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200 - 1N7 PSAE3E with the installation of Windows Vista 32 factory. I bought the laptop with * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * already installed. Recently, I noticed that Matrix Storage Manager requires little significant memory. I do not use any, either, I have several disks to use. I want to remove only keep the Intel AHCI drivers.

    Matrix Storage Manager there some features in Windows Vista somehow while I don't use it at all? Is it safe to delete?

    Thank you & best regards
    Sean

    Hello

    I totally agree with the above user. The Storage Manager provides AHCI drivers and shouldn't t be deleted. It of necessary on never cell phone that works on the AHCI mode.
    You can try to stop the service, as Al - eX has suggested, but I think that this will cause a BSOD.

    I think it would be a better option if you remove other programs you n t need (software test e. g.). Also used CCleaner to clean the registry and defragment the HARD disk in order to speed up.

    Let me make this clear first.

    * In the next contained the words 'this portable' always refers to Hp Pavilion 15-n201ax *.
    Good then everything first I read somewhere that the maximum Ram of this laptop can be expanded up to 16 GB, but i came up with this link here-

    And then I came to know that it can only be upgraded to 12 GB page chapter 1 Description this Guide - #2

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537.PDF

    First of all I would like to ask, is that,

    1. can I buy a RAM of any brand but the same 1600 mhz clock speed ofc IE?, then can I go to the GSkill 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 GB of ram?

    2. the size matter for respective locations? or I can install the 8 GB and 4 GB of ram in any other slots?

    So this was all about the RAM

    But I need to know if I can change the discrete GPU and the APU of this laptop

    3 and if yes - which are compatible mobile GPU that I can install by removing the previous one ie AMD 8600 M (for example graphics R9, R7 and R5 for laptop)

    4 and who are the compatible APU I can install by removing the APU previous IE AMD APU A10 - 4655 M (for example the AMD FX APU for laptops)

    5. If I can upgrade the GPU and APU both please tell makes compatibility issues? as only a specific GPU can work with a specific APU IE as in this laptop AMD APU A10 - 4655M + AMD 8600 M GPU.

    Please help me, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pavilion 15-n201ax?

    We may need to refer to the owner's manual here:

    Your repair manuals

    Officially, it supports only 12 concerts. Your model has a single module of 8 GB if you have an open slot. Unofficially, users here can have reported that add another 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts will work fine. It's something you take the risk of making but it is not official.

    The part numbers for the appropriate memory are listed on page 42. You must DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM.

    If you want to go formal, the 4 GB module is: 691740-001

    Is this on amazon.com:

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-691740-001-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-memory/DP/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1437948185&SR=8-1&keywords=691740-001

    You just leave the concert 8 where it is and add the new memory into the open slot.

    On your laptop model, the GPU/APU is soldered to the motherboard. In order to make any upgrade, you will need to buy a new motherboard. You have an idea together wrong GPU/APU can be removed and replaced and this is incorrect. The term APU refers to a processor that has integrated video, so the whole issue on the compatibility between the GPU and APU just missing the mark. On some systems, the GPU/APU is socketed and can be replaced which is used to replace/upgrade the processor and the video function but as stated above, on your this involves pulling and replacing the entire motherboard.

    There is available a little better/graphics processor using AMD A10 - 5745M 8670 M (2.9 GHz/2.1 GHz, 2 GB L2, 1333 MHz DDR3L Quad 25W) for use with Standard Windows. The part of the motherboard is 734824-501

    HP does not store the Council, but I found this line:

    http://www.discounteddealz.com/product.asp?Itemid=327740&gclid=CO78y6rn-cYCFQmCaQodOP0GLQ

    Never heard of this seller and can not be a guarantor, but the price is very reasonable for this Council. I was expecting to be a little more makes me wonder about this seller a little. I would advise to keep what you have. He is very strong for AMD and the upgrade to the Commission on the A10-5745 will result in only a very small increase in performance to a very high cost in money and efforts.
