Can satellite L30-101 - I change Vista to XP

Hello

I've been looking by changing from Vista to XP on a Toshiba Satellite L30 - 101.

I wonder if this is possible, because I do not know abut driver problems. I found this site:

http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

Which has a list of drivers, including those of Windows xp to the L30. Before I try to make the change, I wanted to just make sure that it is possible and any issues i should know about.

Thanks in advance

Hello

As I m not wrong not the Satellite L30-101 belongs to the series of PSL33E.
I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found this series of laptop and I also found the XP drivers.

Therefore, you can change the Win XP and you will also be able to reinstall Win XP drivers!

Good news. ;)

  • After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

    Hey,.

    Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

    In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

    However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
    When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
    After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

    If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

    Thank you

    PS I have a Satellite L30-101

    I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

    I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

    I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
    As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

  • Satellite L30-101: could not connect to Orange Livebox via WI - FI

    Hi all

    Bought my first laptop today, a Satellite L30-101 with Vista. I finally managed to connect to my livebox after filming of encryption and the Vista firewall. Now, I turned as well on I can not connect. I get a msg of error saying 'the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network. I tried to repair the i.p address and tried to change the security settings in the properties.

    Ideally, I would like to completely remove the existing profile then the Connection Wizard may start. This is probably very simple, but I am new to wifi and Vista and would be grateful if anyone could offer advice.

    Concerning
    Dave.

    Hi again,
    Following the previous, I have more the error msg. I changed the Livebox WPA security only and on the L30, I put the WPA-personal security type and TKIP encryption.

  • No games no install on Satellite L30 - 101

    Hey,.

    I have a laptop Satellite L30-101, which happened with Vista.
    When I was with Vista I had none of these problems, but since I went down to XP install no games.
    The games can go on the menu when you click on install but nothing after that, it doesn't do anything.
    The screen will stay as it is and what can I do but no installer runs.

    I am sure I have drivers properly installed but not sure that more.

    No one knows the correct driver should I use, and if this is really the problem?

    Thank you.

    Satellite L30-101 has not been delivered with the Vista operating system.
    You have received a Toshiba with Win XP Recovery disk and I wonder why you n t use this disk.
    All drivers XP, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the recovery disk.

    I recommend that you use this disk and then try to reinstall some games

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-101

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) successfully, but I find it incredibly difficult to get information on the replacement of the processor.

    The laptop has the latest version of the BIOS on it (3.10 - WIN - 02/19/08), but trying to find information on whats inside I'm hitting brick walls. First of all the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/< doesn't="" have="" my="" laptop="" on="" it,="">
    Product type: notebook
    Family: Satellite
    Product series: Satellite L series
    Model:? unknown
    Short model No.:? unknown

    I hope I could paste in but with the ATI chipset Intel Duo, I'm sure that it won't work but once again without knowing what in the BIOS, compatible... I got lost. Single processor I can find who can work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo T1350 of processor which begins at 1.86 GHz, not a huge difference, and I don't know that it cannot be the only option of replacement.

    Could someone and please help me to get the hands on info from BIOS and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 deporting the 1.46 GHz is not good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi-task. His way of late too even after a good tune up, ram, HD 7200 rpm upgrade. I need an upgrade of the processor, but as mentioned it is incredibly difficult to get the information which would be compatible.

    Sincerely,

    Gourcuff

    Hello

    In my opinion, your attempt to replace the CPU is false. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer performance and it is designed for everyday use. Best evidence was the price. It wasn't so expensive.

    Can you please tell us why do you have new CPU? Do you use special software?

    Return to the replacement of the CPU. As you probably know laptops have limited upgrade options and it is related to the RAM and disk HARD upgrade. It's definitely not for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially of the cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
    Because of this, you will not be able to find relevant info on replacement of the CPU.

    Check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion

    Hello

    We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory

    We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

    When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.

    We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
    and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

    It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!

    1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!

    regards db

    I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
    What RAM do you have?

    A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.

    You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

  • Problems of memory on the Satellite L30-101

    I have a toshiba satellite l30-101 laptop and wanted to upgrade the RAM, so I bought 2 x 1 GB sticks to put in it.
    Now, I could not find all those at 533 mhz so I bought 2 667 mhz after a talk to a technical guy who said if I had 2 the same speed it will work very well.

    Only this isn't at all that I can put a stick and it works very well with the 533 mhz.
    The one I have in if I try to put the two sticks in it comes up with errors of memory and I get the bsod that restarts my computer and did not get my games or other programs.
    Is anyway to make sure I can have both new sticks in that I really need RAM and do not want to buy different ones.
    I mean if I can get another one we should probably work well work?

    Please help im crazy trying to solve this shit

    Hello

    I think that the speed of the memory has nothing to do with the BSOD!
    In my opinion the BSOD appears due to the failure of memory!

    In addition the L30-101 supports only the FSB 533 Mhz. In this case you will not be able to run the 667 Mhz modules of memory at full speed.
    The modules will run at 533 Mhz only!

    So in my opinion, you must replace the defective module with one that works very well!

    Best regards

  • Satellite L30-101 starts with only the PXE message

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Satellite L30-101 (33rd PSL)
    When I start this is the message I get

    PXE - E61: MEDIA TEST FAILURE, CHECK CABLE

    PXE - MOF: EXIT PXE ROM

    OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND

    I replaced the HARD drive, but I still get the same message

    Any idea?

    Thank you

    You replaced the HARD drive.
    That is fine, but did you install the operating system using recovery on this new HARD disk media?

  • Satellite L30 - 10W: Double OS Vista and XP

    Hello.

    I have the Satellite L30 - 10W with Windows Vista Home Basic. How to install another operating system Windows XP Home Edition?

    Hello Miriam

    I didn't try it until now, but it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know how is your laptop L30 preinstalled, but I imagine that the HARD drive is shared twice and contains two partitions (C and D). Am I wrong?

    Each Vista preinstalled Toshiba laptop also has a WinRE partition (1.5 GB for OS not visible). When you start installing WXP be careful and choose the right partition for the installation of operating system Windows XP Home edition.

    Start Microsoft WXP facilities procedure, follow the on-screen menu and chose the second partition (D) as a place of installation of Windows XP Home edition.

    Before you begin installation of WXP visit Toshiba download page to see if this model of laptop is WXP supported and if all necessary WXP drivers are available.

  • Satellite L30-101 - it can not turn on

    Hello

    I had a Toshiba L30-101 given to me for my birthday in 2006, he initially had Windows Vista on it so because of problems with this program.
    I was later forced to get rid of this program and to install Windows XP, and I have not had a problem since.

    However, last night, I forgot to bring my laptop, normally I do not panic as it happens in sleep mode, and yet when I lift the cover (when I do this windows XP starts and allows me to reconnect my phone) I have met with a black screen, nothing has been loading, nothing has changed, I was faced with a black screen.
    I pressed the standby key and nothing happened, nothing happened even when I hold the button for a bit longer.

    I disconnected the battery, and although 2 green lights showed that I should be connected on the right, I was always with a black screen. I left him a little and he's always like now, only 2 green lights went and it seems that there is no life be it current. I can not turn on,
    I tried to reboot and nothing has changed.

    I don't know what to do as this has never happened before. I might add that, even if I changed the program for XP I didn't no problems with it for 2 years and a half, until now.

    Could someone help me at all?

    Hello

    Have you tried to remove the battery and the AC adapter? Remove the two, wait an hour and try again.

    If it doesn t work I think that there is something wrong with the motherboard. Maybe it needs to be replaced or another part.
    Therefore, you can contact the nearest ASP and ask for help.

    Good luck!

  • Connectivity issues with Satellite L30-101 wireless

    I live in a room where the wireless NET is low.

    The landlord lives just next door and it has wireless internet access, I pay for it as well.

    I have a toshiba satellite laptop L30-101. my room is on the first floor, if I get out of my room in the hallway, the net improves.
    If I go down this is the best.
    I tried to speak with the owner to put the modem near the window or connect an antenna in the modem, but there is no change.
    Here's my question: How can I get a net better from my room?
    What can I buy for my computer? I have a type II card slot. What type of antenna, cables or cards can I buy?

    Hey Bela

    Why don't you talk with your local dealer where you live. They can give you enough useful information how to manage this problem. If you wish, you can test connectivity with the latest PCMCIA WLAN cards. If there is no success you can send it back after a few days.

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see the DVD - ram UJ-850 s

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista does not recognize the DVD - ram. BIOS recognize DVD-ram. I tried to download the drivers for the DVD-ram, but they are not on the side of Toshiba.

    Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
    6 let me know if it works.

  • Satellite L30-101: System indicates the value of memory bad

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. Just bought the L30-101 with Vista Home Basic and 512ram (ddr2 pc2 4200). The specs say it can take up to 2 gig with a max of 1 gig per slot.

    Site of Crucial ram and there memory Advisor tool used for a stick of compatible 1 gig to another location of the source and bought a stick of 1 GB (ddr2 pc2 4200). It was put in the laptop, but instead to show 1.5 GB of ram it showed only a little more than 900 MB - so he was recognizing the new stick and using a small part for shared graphics etc. but was totally ignoring the original 512 stick.

    I tried move but opposing slots always get the same result. Also tried the two sticks separately and work well on their own, but when the two haven't inserted the 1 gig stick seems to be recognized. Is this a compatibility issue?

    Ive tried to contact crucial themselves, but still have had no response, so thought I would try and choose someones brains here.

    Any ideas anyone?
    See you soon
    Nick

    This is a compatibility issue, I think you should get a new memory.

    Sometimes it's a problem if you use different modules (size, brand, speed).
    Usually, these problems are presented if you have a noname memory.

    You must purchase another module of 1 GB instead of this the 512ram or replace the 1 GB with a new key.

    I've heard a user has how Kingmax and Samsung 512 MB 1 GB of ram in the L30 and everything is going well, he has no problem with him.
    I have two Samsung 512 MB modules and have no problem.
