Can satellite P30-145 I upgrade 60 GB HARD drive 250 GB?

Hi guys,.

I've seen a drive EIDE WD Scorpio 2.5 "250 GB. Can I replace this for the 60 GB drive mounted right now?
First of all, is it possible.
Secondly is there a limit if a for the size I can fit?
If it is possible, is there anything I need to do other than just swop out?

Kind regards

David

In my opinion, you can't do this because of the huge size of the HARD disk!
But this is only my personal opinion. The problem is that Toshiba doesn t provided no information on the size of the disk HARD max possible.

What you can do is to run tests and to check it would be supported this huge size of HARD drive.
But I'm skeptical.

  • Satellite A10: Want to upgrade 80 GB HARD drive

    I have a Samsung MP0804H 80 GB hard drive that I would like to install in my A10 satellite to replace the 40 GB of factory drive. The Samsung Player dimensions are 37 "x 3.94" X 2.75 "and there and interface ATA - 6." Before the opening of the A10, does anyone know if the Samsung drive is comaptible?

    Also, are there any help documents that describe the disk replacement procedure? I want to mirror the 40 GB to 80 GB via USB and then swap but don't know if it's as simple as that.

    Hello

    As far as I know this unit is about 3 years old and I really don t know what max took HARD drive capacity supported by the BIOS. Unfortunately there is no public document upgrae HARD disk, but I assume that 60 GB should work without any problem. Perhaps 80 GB also, but I'm not sure.

    You may be lucky and someone else will report on successfully A30 computer portable HARD drive upgrade. Please also check option of advanced search on this forum. You may find a few interesting on cell A10.

    Before you exchange the HARD disk, you can try to do image own facilities using an application like Norton Ghost. This image, you can install on a HARD drive created new partition. In my opinion, it's easier to have absolutely the same installation of the laptop.

  • Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

    Hello

    I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

    And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

    Hello!

    Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

    I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

    A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

    Good bye

  • Question about upgrading BIOS for Satellite P30 145

    Hi all, first post!

    I have just received notification that there is an update of the BIOS for my laptop, Satellite P30-145, I downloaded and tried to install it but I get this message "the size of the rom file is incorrect" ideas?

    Hello

    Seems Toshiba has released and document technical support for this newsletter.
    I found this useful statement from Toshiba:

    I can't update my BIOS with the function BIOS Phoenix-file ZIP Windows XP Windows.
    I always get an error message: the size of the ROM file is incorrect.

    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB59014X0000R01.htm

    I hope it helps.

    But note; The update of the BIOS is always risky! If you have any problems with your laptop you n don't need to update the BIOS.
    The bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure may damage the cell Board!
    So take my advice and never change a running system ;)

  • Satellite P30-145: White Rectangle on screen

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P30-145, and he has recently developed a problem with the display. Whenever the computer is turned on, there is a large white rectangle covering part of the screen from top to bottom.

    Stopping and restarting the computer didn't help, display settings settings I tried did not work and a system restore did not work.

    I think it's maybe a problem of overheating the computer often becomes very hot and sometimes stops due to overheating (even if fans don't seem to be blocked when this happens).

    Anyone know what could be the problem and if it can be fixed?

    Hello

    I think that the fault of the graphics card might be the problem
    Maybe the GPU damaged because the temperature inside the laptop.
    As you say the laptop is overheating and it is really possible that it was a reason for that matter.

    In my opinion, you need to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if the same will appear on the second screen.
    If you're going to see the same rectangle on the screen then the graphics card is damage and the entire motherboard must be replaced

    Feedback would be greatly appreciated

  • Satellite P30-145: the drive won't recognise DVD double layer

    I have a Satellite P30-145 with a SupermultiDL DVD player. When I got the PC, I could write DVD double layer with no problems. Now the drive will not recognize DVD double layer at all. Even those from the same box that has worked well before. I use are Verbatim Double layer DVD + R 2.4 x discs.

    After a lot of internet research, I have downloaded and run DVDInfoPro. This application has reported that the Player did not support the DVD + RW DL. Very strange!

    Can anyone help? The drive is a carpet * a DVD-RAM UJ - 831S.

    Hi Lan

    This disc is certainly DL one, but I can imagine that the drive is defective and cannot calibrate lens in the right position. This model of laptop is more than two years, and if you have used this drive extensively, I can really imagine that the DL function is defective.

    What you can do is to clean the lens and see that it will help.

  • Satellite P30-145 has no backlight?

    I have a satellite P30-145, which I have owned for 1 year and 2 months. Yesterday, I went to turn it on to find the image on the screen was very very low, to the point where it is very difficult to do anything. I know that there not the works of fine external output, as I connected it to the TV, so I can only assume the LCD backlight bulb.

    Is there anything I can do to remedy this? I'm angry that it happened just outside the warranty period and I was wondering if there is anything I can do about it. I'm pretty comfortable with the dismantling of the stuff so the ideas/pointers would be welcome!

    Hello

    It looks like FL-inverter to malfunction. This part is not very expensive.
    You suggested that the laptop is about 1 year. As I know the guarantee must be valid longer since only during one year.
    I would recommend contact the Toshiba service partner in your country and explaining your situation guys.
    I think that the service guy will solve the problem of the inverter without major problems.

  • Satellite P30-145 will not stay

    Toshiba Satellite P30-145.

    Very well.
    My laptop will charge when turned off.

    As soon as I turn it on, it does not recognize that there is a power he goes and goes directly to the battery.

    If I take the battery and turn it on with PC network, it will stay on for a second, then turns off.

    any ideas?

    Hello!

    To me, this looks like a hardware problem. Maybe there is something wrong with the motherboard plug or power on the laptop. I put t know
    I think that this should be checked by a technician of the laptop.

    On the Toshiba site, you can find the nearest authorized service provider. They can help you.

  • 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.

    See you soon

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

    According to specification notebok your ant Satellite Prohas Mobile Intel GL40 Express Chipset it can handle with 4 GB RAM max.
    Unfortunately there is no specific info on the upgrade of the HARD drive, but it is SATA HDD, which means up to 400 or even 500 GB should not be a problem.

    I advise you to buy a 300 GB HARD drive and I think it will be more tan enough to upgrade the HARD drive.

    HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?
    If this isn't the case, then this means that the HARD drive is faulty.
    Try to replace the HDD with a compatible and try again.
