• Can satellite A30 - I put the RAM?

  Hello!

  If it is possible to replace the Toshiba Satellite A30 2.6 GHz memory, on * DDR400 * instead of * DDR333? *

  Thank you.

  Hi liwil

  If you want to know how fast your FSB is then install a free diagnostic such as Everest home edition tool.
  Here you can check how fast the FSB supports and if it s worth to use faster memory modules.

  Generally, it is possible to use modules faster but as that proposed by Luke the FSB might slow down the speed.

  See you soon

• Can satellite A30-154 - I switch to a 120 GB HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Satellite A30-514 with a 30 GB hard drive which has done a great job.

  Is it possible and easy to switch to 120 GB and pointers to the best HARD drive to use?

  Thank you very much

  Hello!

  As far as I know the laptop is equipped with IDE HDD's. This means that there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits and you can use up to 128 GB s HDD.
  If the upgrade to a 120 GB model should work fine.

  You can buy a disk of each production, but I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  Good bye

• Can satellite A30 - I install a larger HARD drive?

  I thought I had taken care with boards and pieces of kit. but after the reconstruction of my A30 (having the replaced DC Jack), he comes up with the following messages:

  * SMART failure provided on hard disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM) *.
  * WARNING: Immediately back up your data and replace your hard drive. A failure may be imminent.*
  * Press F1 to continue. *

  I tried winding connector to HARD drive decision-making, which seems OK.

  So start thinking I killed this disk somehow. If Yes, can I install a larger drive, say 80 or even 160 GB and should I look for a magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I'm looking.

  Thank you. Robin

  Hello!

  If you delete the old HDD, you can see if an IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with an IDE HDD.

  You can use a larger HARD drive. This should not be a problem, but as far as I know this laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that the disc size limit is 128GB and so you can use a 120 GB HARD drive.
  If you want to learn more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com

  So, you can buy a 120 GB HARD drive or an 80 GB HARD drive as you suggest. I have good experiences with Hitachi and Seagate hard drives.

  In any case, I think that it s a good idea to exchange the HARD drive. SMART error message appears as if there is something wrong with the HARD drive to back up your data as quickly as possible. ;)

• Can satellite A100 - I use Vista 32 bit to Vista 64-bit product key

  Hello
  I need to install the 64 bit version of Vista on my laptop Satellite A100PSAARE sn: 17177793 Q that comes with recovery CD OEM Vista Home Premiun (32bits).

  The code of the label is not appropriate for the installation of the 64-bit version and I want to get one that would be ok.
  Do I have to buy a update to get this code? Where?
  Can Toshiba provide me with the right code?

  Concerning
  Andrea Gasparetto

  Hello

  The product key on the underside of the laptop is an OEM key. This means it belongs to the preinstalled version of Vista and t can be used with another version that you can buy on the internet or computer stores.

  So if you want another version of Vista you have to buy a copy with the product key for your local computer store, for example.

• Can satellite C655 - I use a vacuum cleaner to clean the fans?

  Hello-

  I have a Satellite C655 I bought and a year and a half ago. In recent days the fan was shot in a lot more than usual. I hear the fan or fan on the left - the quietest, one on the right is always quite calm and on.

  I'm not under any big programs - that the internet or Word, but it happened on all 30 seconds or more and can sometimes slow down the computer and the little blue circle in Word 7 will begin to turn around.

  I hope it's the fan should be cleaned and I have no intention to remove anything to try it myself. I use the computer for work, so I need all the time and would have to do some schedules to have a tech guy staples or Best Buy Geeks do it for me.

  Can I use a vacuum cleaner on the vent below and next to remove all the dust - this would help or am I asking for trouble? Is it possible to clean the fan without pulling off the cover/keyboard?

  Of course, any help is appreciated. It's my first post so if you need additional information, please let me know. Thank you very much.

  Your only way to get pure is using vacuum or compressed air and blow out the dust.
  If the laptop must be cleaned on professional way, it must be dismantled. It is the only way to get full access to all modules of cooling. Please this should be done by authorized only service.

  In any case, try with the vacuum.

• Can satellite M70 - I use all hard drives 2.5 "?

  All HDD 2.5 "can be put in Satellite M70 or they must have specific dimensions? For example, I thin on Samsung spinpoint [model: http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].

  It will be OK for my laptop?

  Hello!

  As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with hard drives SATA and IDE hard drives. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HARD drive.

  The Satellite M70 takes to load only SATA150 (SATA1) but this isn't a problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

• Can satellite L300 - I use the microphone as line-in port?

  On Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLBGE, there are too many plugs: microphone and headphones.

  I would like to copy and transform in digital music from my old analog tapes thorugh an audio cable and a former recorder. Before, I use a desktop PC, which was a line-in Jack (I use Sound Recorder). But the laptop has only two Sockets mentioned. Can I use taken mic as line - in one? At the present time, I installed Windows XP.

  Thanks for any suggestions.

  Hello

  Did you check your user manual? I doubt that this is because there, I created the following information:
  Standard 3.5 mm mini jack microphone allows the connection of a microphone or any other device for * audio *.

  This means that you can also connect other devices to input for audio recording. ;)

• Can satellite M30x - I use Windows 7?

  Does anyone has installed Windows 7 on a M30X? People keep telling me that Windows 7 gives a new breath to the older laptops, but it seems difficult to find the correct drivers in the absence of support from Toshiba.

  I'd be interested to hear about the experience of the people on the M30X or similar, the two performance they get with Windows 7 and also advice on the pitfalls to avoid when installing!

  I have a M30X-129 with extended memory to 1.5 GB, otherwise as originally configured, running XP. I intend to do a clean install of Windows 7.

  Hey mate,

  Theoretically, you can install Windows 7 but you've already written it might be a little difficult to find any Windows 7 drivers for this good old classic. In addition, I doubt that Windows 7 run faster than Windows XP. More rapid than Vista but XP is still the best OS for old computers.

  In your case, I'd be happy with preinstalled OS to Toshiba. Everything works with these parameters, and so you can have fun with your laptop. :)

• Can satellite M70-159 - I replace the motherboard with another?

  Hello!
  The model of the M70-159-card mother K000033840 can replace another motherboard with a number K000033860?

  Thank you.

  I put t know if it s possible because I m not a technician for laptop.
  Normally, you should only replace the motherboard with the same.

  I put t know if it works. Contact a local ASP and ask for a technician. They know where the other is, and if it would work.

• Can satellite T130 - I use Kensington power?

  The model Kensington 33197 (very useful for travel because it is lightweight and flat and can power/charging multiple devices at the same time) has two power tips Toshiba, including the N3 outputs (depending on the technical support of Kensington) 19V, 6a and 114W.

  Outputs of the PSU Toshiba 19V 3. 42A (so 65W).

  Tip N3 is safe to use, or will it FRY my T130?

  Hey Buddy,

  You can use another power supply if it has the same (19V) voltage and intensity or higher (3. 42A or later).

  So, it seems that the Kensington diet should work properly! :)

• Can satellite A505 - I use another power cord?

  I bought a PWR + Ac Adapter Power Supply Cord which was listed as a replacement for the A505 series, which mine is. When I got there, I noticed that it displays the output as 19V, 4. 9A. My original Toshiba adapter shows the same voltage, but he says 4. 74A.
  This slight difference won't hurt my computer?

  Thank you
  Tom

  Hello

  You can use this new AC/DC adapter with 4. 9A instead of 4. 7A.
  The point is that the AC adapter must have at least 4. 7 but if it is more, it s no problem. If it won't hurt the computer.

  Doesn t so you worry, have fun with the new AC/DC adapter. :)

• Can satellite L350 - I use the the L300 recovery disk?

  Mate has a L350 who is tired and unfortunately has no recovery disk. I could use my recovery disc for my L300 model or making worse it?

  You can try, but may be missing drivers or it can BSOD according to differences in hardware.

  You can run from the HARD drive recovery? Press F8 when Windows starts and choose the option to repair/restore.

  Otherwise, you will need to buy a replacement for Toshiba recovery disc.

• Can satellite L350D - I use Windows XP x 64?

  Can someone tell me if the L350D will work with XP x 64? I installed it ok but some drivers are going a bit funny and I don't know why, but not all of them are available for download from the download site.

  Things like the camera software only seem to be available for vista.

  64 bit XP is not supported on all models, so you will have a hard time to make it work.

  Do you really need 64 bit? It will not make much difference unless you do a lot of media creation/encoding.

  Maybe better wait for Win7 64 bit.

• Can satellite L750 - I use a stand alone TFT as primary monitor?

  My father has a laptop Toshiba Satellite L750 - 22 c and want to connect it to a larger TFT screen. Would this be possible? And if so what resolution this Toshiba reaches?

  I m hoping to connect it to a 24 "TFT with a resolution of 1920 x 1200.

  Take care
  / M

  Hello

  I confused m.
  Want to connect external monitor?
  Of course, this should be possible.

  Have you read the manual provided with the laptop?

  The laptop supports RGB (VGA) and HDMI port. So where is the problem?
