Change HDD on Satellite L70-B-13D

Hallo,

I am trying to replace the unit of HARD drive of my laptop with a SSD to increse speed, but I can't find a way to access the unit; seems that there is only the main cover at the bottom of the laptop and not the traditional specific for different units like most laptops. Is there a procedure to remove this cover, so I can access the HW unit to replace it?

At a tryied already this replacement?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards.

As you are probably aware that some models have the HARD drive cover in the lower corner so access on the HARD drive is not that complicated. Change HARD drive on these models can be done by the owner of the laptop.

In your case for computer laptop design is a bit complicated and must be done by the Toshiba service provider.
In General, if you remove the blanket guarantee will be cancelled.

First of all I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask how it works. Please don t do anything on your own. In my opinion the guarantee is very important.

  • Change HDD on Satellite Pro A40

    Hello!

    I have a hard drive dead in my Satellite Pro A40, and I would like to replace it.
    Please tell me which model suits me. The size of 40 to 80 GB hard drive.

    Thank you!

    This old model was offered with 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HDD. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem, upgrade with 80 GB or even with max 100GB / 120 GB HDD.

    For example check please model Toshiba MK1032GAX. It is the old model with IDE interface and must be perfect for your machine.

    Incidentally: of course this old piece of equipment can scale up to 2 GB of RAM. How do you currently use? What operating system do you use?
    Sorry for the question, but it really is fascinating that many people still use old machines WXP. :)

  • How to change HDD on Satellite Pro 430CDT

    Can someone tell me where I could find simple instructions telling me how to take apart my old 430CDT to mount a hard drive more? I think replace drive 1.25 GB - with a 4 or 6 GB hard drive assuming the disks that I may need to adapt.

    I guess that the hard drive is hidden somewhere under the keyboard, but may not work on how to remove + that + without damaging it.

    I have no real experience of this sort of thing - I did nothing more complicated than the new fitting RAM to a less-ancient A120 and change hard drives around on a Satellite 320.

    Archives help, unfortunately, but it's fun to read old press releases and ads and see what was considered as performing just twelve or thirteen years - progress in the design of the computer are fast enough, isn't it? Aware that in a couple of years something with less of a terabyte of HARD drive and a quad-core processor will be also awfully outdated and limited my old 430 you like now.

    Absolutely no reason practice for this - just out of curiosity and just for fun.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated - thanks in anticipation!

    All simply remove the HARD drive cover and you should see the HARD drive.

  • Need help with installing Win7 on Satellite L70-A-12W

    I bought Satellite L70-A-12W with preinstalled victory 8.1 two days ago... I have no recovery of win7, but I have Win7 64 Bit DVD new.
    I would like to install win 7. I follow the instructions concerning the closing down, on Bios (I have version 1.3) safety boot is disabled and the boot mode is MSC mode.

    I did a recovery on USB media if something with is wrong. Earn 8.1 I installed Paragon Partition Manager 14 (free version) and see the Partition Table. It UriPattern like this:
    1 partition - system - 1-GB NTFS (Partition of Service);
    2. partition (no name) - 100 MB - it's the gray color.
    3 partition (local partition) - 128 MB;
    4 partition C: (win 8.1) - Go 920 - NTFS drive.
    5. partition - recovery - 10.1 GB - NTFS (Partition OEM Service).

    I would like to keep evrything what is, if possible, and instead og Win8.1 install Win 7 ultimate 64-bit (which I have). And after than that, resize this partition of 100 GB and make a second partition private for my data - partition D: - for example.

    I did things in the BIOS and win7 DVD and got error massage: Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT Style partition...

    I found a solution to clean the disc in the BACK, but I'm not sure that I have with this procedure will delete oll data disc. I'll guarantee loos e if I do this... If all other partitions will remain instead of C--> I can always make backup returns with media recovery with win 8.1 and hopes to keep the warranty.

    Now, I don't know what I have to do...

    I would just have win 7 on my laptop with minimal change to the partition table and all the partitions instead of C (where now is win 8.1).

    Could you please help me...

    Hello

    The question is: why you want to keep the present partitions on the HARD disk.
    Using two systems Win 8 and Win 7 on this laptop?

    The fact is that if you want to use only Windows 7, it s not appropriate to keep the old partitions on the HARD disk.

    Secondly, you already have the Toshiba Recovery flash memory stick.
    This recovery media allows you to return to the factory settings.

    This means that recover the laptop using this memory flash USB stick recovery would again create the same partitions and install the Win 8.1 System.

    Finally and above all Windows 7 supports 4 primary partitions as primary partitions are applicable to the tables of partition MBR and partition table MBR allow four primary partitions.

    After you create the primary partition 4th Windows system will accept only the volumes 'Dynamics' (logical drives). You must create an extended partition containing many logical partitions.

    However, if you use a table of GPT partition that is supported by the 64-bit Windows versions, you can configure up to 128 partitions and you need t differ between "primary" and "extended" partitions

    In addition, the GPT partition table also requires the UEFI BIOS.

  • Satellite C50-B-13D - cannot install display driver

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13D. I had to reinstall my OS Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit. Now, I have a problem with the drivers. For example, I can't install the display driver. After that I give the permission to make changes on my computer, the error message "this computer is unresponsive to the minimum requierments to install this software. Does anyone know what I can do?

    As I'm not mistaken Satellite C50-B-13D does not dedicated GPU, but the laptop was equipped with the Intel Celeron CPU of N2830 supporting the Intel HD Graphics 4000

    If you need to install the display driver Intel HD 4000.

    Usually, you have two possibilities to install the driver.
    You can run the installation.exe (setup.exe) file, or you install the driver in Device Manager. I recommend you to choose option 2 in the case where the standard procedure done functions.

    The Toshiba UE driver page driver must be decompressed.
    You will find in the folder display-20140528122046 the TC40214900E.exe
    It is a zipped file. Right-click this file and choose "unzip here".
    Now, you will get another folder TC40214900E where you will find all the driver (dll) files.

    Next step: go to the Device Manager, choose graphics card, and then click the driver update/installation
    Now choose the "Advanced" installation option and point to the folder of the unzipped driver.
    The system will get the files automatically, and you can complete the installation.

    That's all.

  • Satellite L70-A-139 - HD4600 Intel driver updates

    Hi all

    A week ago I bought a Satellite L70-A-139 (PSKNEE-02J02UBT) and its all ready and value.
    Everything is up to date except the HD Intel display drivers.

    Today, I checked on the Intel site and their drivers are very recent than mine.

    My drivers: 10.18.10.3345
    Lasted(non-beta) pilots: 10.18.10.3412

    When I let windows search for a newer driver he know that my driver is up to date.
    When I check the gas station of Mohammed, that I'm up-to-date.

    So when I download the drivers on the site of intel and I try to install, I get this error message:

    "The driver you want to install is not verified for this computer. Ask manufacturing for the drivers.
    The installation will be interrupted. "(It is translated from Dutch)

    Then when I go to the site of Mohammed, the driver for my Satellite L70 is: 10.18.10.3308
    How can I have a more updated version, then the version lasted? Why can't update?

    It's continue because the beta-pilot gives support for thief and Titanfall (games)
    As the integrated card is more friendly energy, I want to play on it. (When I am mobile)

    I found a way around this error message, but I first want to know what modifedd youcef to drivers?
    So are these importand?

    Thank you

    So general, there is great difference between the driver support to screen for desktop and mobile machines. Manufacturers of laptops offers these drivers and suitable display drivers do not allow maximum performance because of problems or damage of GPU overheating.

    Here are the reasons why the GPU manufacturers do not support the drivers directly and this is the reason why you cannot use the GPU support page original drivers.
    Can imagine you the situation when you install the driver from the Intel site beginning to use it and a few days later GPU will burn out. Who should be responsible for your damages? You could say I have warranty valid but Toshiba will say sorry you used the failure to load driver.

    I mean, be careful with that. Computer laptop is brand new and you should think about security.

  • Update of DirectX problems after Win 10 satellite L70-B-126-

    Dear colleagues!

    Since the update of my Satellite L70-B-126 from 8.1 to win to win 10, I am faced with several graphical problems.

    I think, I realized the real problem, which is DirectX 12. I have already installed the latest drivers, but the system thinks, that the Radeon R9 265 X is no longer usable for Dx11.1. Since Win 10 installed automatically Dx12, I don't have any idea how to fix that so far.

    Useful ideas or solutions?

    All the best!
    Paul

    The game is perhaps using the Intel graphics card.

    Uninstall the driver AMD.
    Install the latest driver AMD leave AMD.com and configure the AMD Crimson software to use the AMD GPU for this executable game special.

    Hello Alexander

    In General, this can happen on each laptop model and can be caused by different reasons. It can happen due to overheating or maybe some malfunction of the equipment.
    On this path, it is certainly not easy to offer accurate diagnosis or explanation why this happen.

    Have you noticed unusual behavior in front of your laptop turns off?
    Is it when some software is running?
    Portable temperature (surface where your hands are placed) is higher than usual?

  • Satellite L70-B-125 upgrade to Windows 10 with installation DVD

    Hello
    I want to improve my Toshiba Satellite L70-B-125 to 10 Windows with an ISO file / DVD. Is this possible?
    I have not found the Windows product key on my laptop or other documents. Where can I find the product key?

    Thank you.

    Andreas

    You should upgrade to 10 Windows through Windows instead of DVD/USB.
    If you have installed own DVD/USB, you will get a Win10 key.

    Once you do the upgrade, you can reset Windows, that is identical to a clean installation of DVD/USB.
