• HDD upgrade on Satellite L30-149

  Hello

  I want to change my hard drive of 80 GB to 320 GB. I'm computer Toshiba Satellite L30-149.
  I hope someone try it before and it works.

  If someone can Swedish please answer me too... Good day. MVH Emilia

  Hello

  It depends on the HARD disk controller.
  If the HARD disk controller support the 48-bit LBA then you would be able to use more than 128 GB of HARD drive

  Since ATA-6 also known as Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100 the 48-bit LBA is supported.
  So now to know what the HARD drive controller is supported by your L30.

  I think you might find this detail using a program like Everest home edition for example.

• Upgrade of Satellite L30 - 115 CPU

  Hello!

  I want to replace my CPU, but I do not know which processors are supported. I found no information on it.
  Could someone help me?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not supported. This means that no one can tell if the laptop would be functions properly after the upgrade of CPU.
  The point is that BIOS has not been tested in other processors.
  But I think you could use another CPU, but you must choose one of the same CPU family.

  As far as I know that the laptop was equipped with the Intel CELERON M 380 has CPU

  In addition it of important what chipset would support the new processor. This means that you should check the chipset and forced to seek support on the Intel page.

• CPU upgrade in Satellite 1800-100

  Hello!

  I have a satellite 1800-100 and I was wondering if the computer's bios supports a pentium 3 cpu, it has a celeron processor. I found a topic http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1591&messageID=3907#3907

  but he Don t have no response.

  Can someone tell me if this is possible? a P3 850 is really cheap and it could be a great upgrade :)

  Thank you

  Hello

  The processor upgrade is not possible, as far as I know. A long time ago a user has tried the same thing and the new processor has damaged a whole unit because it was not properly cooled.

  Please be careful about this.

• CPU upgrade in Satellite 2450-201

  I have a Satellite 2450-201 and it came with a pentium 4 2.4 GHZ.
  What CPU will be compatible? Pentium 4 3.6 GHZ maybe because there is P4.
  Will this work?

  Hello

  To my knowledge the Satellite 2450 series was delivered with an Intel Desktop Pentium 4 processor.
  The desktop Intel Pentium 4 CPU with Intel SpeedStep® technology and processors to run at one of the following speeds:

  2.26GHz / bus speed: 533 MHz
  2.4 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.53 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.66 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.8 GHz / 533 MHz

  Additional info:
  The processor incorporates a 12 KB of L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache memory memory.

  But as far as I knwn Toshiba does not support updates. You have no guarantee that it will work properly

• Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

  Hello
  I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

  (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

  (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

  PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

  Hello

  This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

  I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive test.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)

• Re: Can Satellite L30-106 - I switch the RAM to 2 GB?

  Hello
  I want to upgrade the Ram in my Toshiba L30-106 running Vista. The vehicle currently has 2 * 512 MB modules. In the specifications it says it can handle maximum 2 GB of Ram. Is this correct?

  Can I upgrade using 1 * 2 GB or 2 * 1 GB modules? Dual channel RAM will make a significant difference?

  I can say I should use modules DDR2-533 PC4200. I'll use Kingston, but they have Toshiba modules (start with KTT) and regular ones (KVV). It is important that I use?

  Claus

  Yes, you can upgrade the Satellite L30 to 2 GB.
  In addition, you should buy modules with 1 GB because so you can use dual channel mode. This makes the theoretical specifications a little faster.

  For the upgrade, you can buy RAM DDR2-533.
  The part number for a 1 GB module is PA3411U-1M1G

• 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.

• Satellite L30-134 - question about upgrade CPU and video performance

  Hi have updated my satellite l30 - 134 with a bus t2450 dual core @2 ghz 533 Mhz = cpu is runing swell-marks look nice... BUT - my video performance droped a lot - grafics 2d - to top but 3d grafics are very poor why? driver problem?
  have also 2 g ram 2 x 1 g kinmax @ 6xx runing @533

  can anyone help? see that are some similar configs on this site... then maybe you can help me
  I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)

  > I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)
  Forget that don t recommend install Win XP 64-bit.
  Why? Because the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as Win 32 bit or Vista/Win 7 64 bit and you won't find many drivers for Win XP 64 bit.
  Stay with XP 32 bit or you can change to Win 7 64 bit.

  Regarding the graphical issue;
  Have you noticed that also using the old CPU (Intel Celeron M Processor 410)?
  If this were not the case, then I guess this could be a problem between the CPU and BIOS.
  Otherwise I would recommend upgrading the graphics card driver.

• Satellite L30 - 10Y - upgrade successful but CPU fan is running

  Hi ppl,
  This post is more than a FYI post.

  I gave myself a defective Aspire 5610 and decided to whip the CPU out of it and put it in my Toshiba Satellite L30 and it works! CPU of the Satellite is a series of Intel Celeron M @ 1.87 Ghz, while the Acer processor is an Intel T2300 Centrino Duo 1.66 GHz. So my Satellite is now slightly faster, but added to it's 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive upgraded to 320 GB under Windows 7 Ultimate. While its still not a game machine, it creaks all the numbers that I throw at it!
  Hope this helps someone.

  I noticed that the fan runs almost constantly, suggestions?

  Concerning
  Markkyboy

  Hey,.

  Thanks for this very interesting article! It of Nice to hear this new CPU works fine, but I have to say there is no guarantee for this, but you have chance ;)
  Update CPU's official not taken in charge, but in some cases, it may work, depending on the motherboard, BIOS and CPU.

  In any case, I think the fan runs almost constantly because the newer and more powerful CPU producing much more heat and it must be cooled cooling system that is designed for your older CPU.
  All you can do is to clean the cooling system, but I think you have already done this during the exchange of CPU and use of grease thermal correct amount.

• Satellite L30 - 113 (PSL33E) - can I get the CPU?

  Hello!

  Now, using a Satellite L30-113 (Celeron m 430, 2 GB 533 Mhz, ATi xpress 200M chipset). My question is if the Satellite L30-113 has a socket M? Can I use CPU with 667 fsb and ram with 533 speed? If a socket M I can upgrade cpu including core duo or core 2 duo CPU? How to identify a list with socket M CPU?

  How to install ATI Catalyst on Windows 7? I try with Mobility Modder.NET and did not work

  Hello

  You can identify the plug yourself if you install a hardware such as Everest or PC Wizard 2009 diagnostic tool. Both show all hardware information.
  Check this box!

  But upgrading CPU's official unsupported:

• For the Archives: The upgrade of the Satellite L30-134

  I'm one of those old cell phones off a friend who had retired as being obsolete.

  However with a little time and money, it is possible to upgrade to a very usable machine.

  Not a power by any stretch but perfectly adequate for browsing the internet and watching videos (about 720 p watchable) standard definition etc.

  So as the search of these forums for more information for this project, I found a lot of conflicting advice, and some of my questions were not answered at all. I hope by documenting my experiences here I can help someone in the same position in the future.

  * Model *.

  This machine is the Toshiba Satellite L30-134, part number: PSL33E-00E013G3. It's probably very similar, but not necessarily the same as the other models L30. No invert them.

  * Original configuration *.

  Processor - Intel Celeron m 410 (Cache of 1 MB, 1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, Socket M). It is a simple version of the Core Duo (Yonah core) processor core. It shares nothing in common and is not swapable with the previous generation Pentium M or processors Celeron Mr. He is also incompatible with the next generation of Core 2 Duo/Solo and Pentium and Celeron processors derived from these.

  Memory - A single 512MB SODIMM PC2 - 4200 (DDR2-533 MHz). This differs from the previous generation of DDR and the next generation of DDR3. The controller memory only supports single channel mode. There is no loss that the FSB of the processor is not fast enough to take advantage of the dual channel anyway.

  * BIOS *.

  My laptop came with very old version 1.3. Toshiba provides the latest version (3.10) for download. This is reported to be buggy and mess with the profiles of fan so I decided to leave it alone. I can confirm that my updates work without updating the BIOS.

  * Updates *.

  Processor - I swapped the Celeron for a Core Duo T2350 (1.87 GHz). Everything I read that all the Yonah core Core Duo/solo, Pentium and Celeron with a FSB of 533 are compatible. The FSB 667 models are not.

  The Core Duo T2450 at 2 GHz is the highest performing compatible processor but double the price on eBay. I paid just £12 (used) for the T2350 so there is really no reason to go down now, all of these parts are obsolete.

  RAM - there are 2 slots on this machine. Toshiba State a maximum of 2 GB, 1 GB in each slot. Unfortunately, the memory controller is very picky and survey of the weird errors, unless you get just the right ones.

  There is not enough information to understand it so for me it was a process of trial and error. Fortunately, I found an online retailer that guaranteed compatibility in 100% and returned by mail for free.

  The second pair of Poles worked well.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Upgrade CPU of my Satellite Pro L300-152

  Hello

  my laptop is a:

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-152
  Model no. PSLB1E-01R015EN
  Celeron 560 2.13 GHz

  Can someone tell me what CPU I can pass safely, I use it in a cool environment and care about a few 100 mhz more of her.

  Thank you for your support

  Before you start to discuss CPU upgrade, check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  My personal opinion is that upgrading the CPU won't help much and you will not realize a difference in performance for laptop. In my opinion need more RAM or SSD better and faster. This better and better performance some CPU with 100 mhz dating more than one.
