Differences between Satellite 5100-201 & 5100 603

Hello

The user guide is not clarify the differences between the models S5100-201 and S5100-603.
I can work on them are different speeds, memory and hard drive, but what about the internal bits?

I have a model 603 broke with a power control fault. Does anyone know if a model-201 motherboard will enter unity of 603?

Thank you
Pete

Hello

I am not a technician, but I found the info that these units have a different graphics card and the two can't handle with RAM max.

Satellite 5100-201:
-nVidia GeForce4 440Go 32 MB
-can handle with max 512 MB RAM

Satellite 5100 603:
-nVidia GeForce4 440Go 64 MB
-can handle with max 1024 MB of RAM

I'm not 100% sure, but if you swap the Mo together with all hardware, I think that other devices should work, but I put t know how it will work with the BIOS. Maybe the DMI should be rewritten.

There are little guys having very good knowledge on this forum, and I hope that some of them will be post here and say more about it.

  • Satellite 5100 603: where to find a new graphics card?

    Hello

    I am currently the owner of a Toshiba Satellite 5100 603. The problem is the video card. But I can't find a new or second hand video card for this laptop anywhere.

    Anyone has suggestions where to look for this card or maybe has a replacement part or with the problem I described a few lines (lines and twinkle in your screen) back.

    Try eBay. You will find lots of laptop parts. Google a bit. For new parts is no problem to find them but second hand parts

  • Replacement of motherboard on the Satellite 5100-603 - BIOS update is required?

    Hello
    I just replaced a dead card main satellite 5100 603 with a new main Board which I could get on ebay (Toshiba card system FNZSY2 - A5A000160010 P000341750-Ref.). If I boot with an installation of XP DVD it starts but hangs with the message "unexpected error (536674392) on line 1768 in D:\xpspi\base\boot\set-up\arcdisp.c".

    I realized that there are versions of different bios for various models 5100 satellite. I think I flashed the bios of 5100-603 last for this problem.
    Is this correct? (start with BART-PE from CD or HDD BART-PE raises the same error msg text in another look)

    Hello

    to get your motherboard to work you must write about the UUID (Universal Unique Identifier).
    As far as I know, you can get the UUID to a Toshiba service partner writing tool.

  • USB 2.0 on the Satellite 5100 603?

    Hello

    I had to reinstall my laptop with the original recovery CD
    on Windows XP Home Edition. I ran the updates.

    Because I used several USB devices, the system tells me that
    I have to connect this device to a USB 2.0 to get the fastest
    connections.

    I'm sure that I've never had these messages before.

    Does not support my 5100-603 improved USB?

    OR

    What drivers should I download and where?

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Oliver.

    Hey Oliver

    These messages are nothing unusual if you connect USB 2.0 devices to broadband to a laptop with USB 1.1 port.
    Yes, as much as I know Satellite 5100-603 supports only USB 1.1 and not 2.0 USB ports
    This is a limitation of the phone hardware and may not be updated with all the drivers.

    I imagine that get you t has not all messages in the past because Microsoft QFE updates were not installed.
    In any case, nothing wrong in you unit.

  • Toshiba Satellite 5100 603

    Instruction for Satellite 5100 503 says max. capacity of RAM this laptop can work is 512 MB. It is strange to me. Why I can't upgrade memory in my book, it's efficency, but 512 MB is too little for me. I use Windows XP Prof. with many programs, that's why I need of more memory. Additional distributor of Toshiba laptops in my country clamis that this model can work with 1 GB of RAM. I don't know really who right. Help me, please.

    Hi emifer,

    This Machine can run up to 1024 MB of Ram (RAM-PC2100DDR)!
    For Toshiba 512 MB Ram order Code is PA3164U.

  • Differences between Satellite S500-116 and Satellite S500-11R

    Hello

    I would like to buy some of these computers portable fpr my business but I am a bit confused, because the only difference between these models that I found was that the 116 has a HD Webcam, I don't care about but still
    But I wonder why the 11R is more expensive...

    Please help me because I really want to choose Toshiba rather than Fujitsu Lifebook :)

    Hi lt.hotze,

    You can compare the specifications of these notebooks on the Toshiba page:

    Satellite Pro S500-11R:
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-Pro-S500-11R/1085174

    Satellite Pro S500-116:
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-Pro-S500-116/1081285

    It seems that the two models are designed for the German market

    In any case, they are equipped with the same processor, RAM, graphics card, etc. The only difference seems to be the webcam, S500-116 has an HD webcam.

  • Re: Differences between Satellite L505-144, L555 - 11K and Satellite A500-1GL

    What are the main differences between L505-144, L555 - 11K and A500-1GL?

    They are the same price and seem to be very similar, with only small differences in processing power, graphics and sound.

    What is the best model?

    Hello

    I think you should take a look on the page of specification for Toshiba laptop and need to compare two specifications:

    * Satellite L505-144 *.
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-L505-144/1081190/

    * Satellite A500-1GL. *
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-A500-1GL/1080934/toshibaShop/false/

    Satellite L505-144 was released in the United Kingdom and the Satellite A500-1GL was published in Germany.

    L505-144 supports more rapid and better CPU, it was delivered with Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit. It supports rather than ATI GPU nVidia but the HARD drive is smaller than 320 GB instead of 500 GB

  • Difference between Satellite R50-B-114 and R50-B-119

    I would like to ask if there is a specific difference between these two?
    I don't think there is, but I'm curious, because I found two models with exactly the same settings (cpu, ram, hard drive, graphics, sound).
    And the price was different, 119 was about $ 100 cheaper.

    I found my guy already, however there are still 2 days until I can place my order (weekend). The only difference that I found at toshiba.eu is a hard drive size. My local dealer has them both with SSD of 256 and it was my choice. Does still count as the model even if a hard drive is changed?

    I haven't found a difference between the two models:
    R50-B-114 - 1 TB (5400 RPM) SATA
    R50-B-119 - 500 GB (7200 RPM) SATA

    Of course, it is the same model. The hardware platform is identical and has nothing to do with the SSD or HARD disk. Of course the SSD is much better choice. Machine with SSD inside can provide better performance of the laptop.

    Hello

    Yes, it is possible
    In most cases, the laptop hardware parts are the same, but only the system language is different, it means that the two laptops could be released for different countries.

    But the hardware specs are the same
