• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Re: Satellite L675-10 t black screen after disassembly problem

  Hi all

  I recently had some problems with my L675-10T overheating, even when I was with a big fan of cooling for the games.

  I realized that the problem resulted from blocked exhaust and dust and it is why, after reading and watching the many tutorials, I opened my laptop computer successfully and all cleaned up.

  The temperature dropped to 20 c and I was happy.

  The next night, however, took my laptop and headed for the living room, and it will stop.
  Black screen and nothing passed. So I ran to the internet and found this solution, it worked btw.

  1. turn off your computer
  2. unplug all wires (including energy)
  3. disconnect the battery from the bottom of the computer.
  4 re - connect the power cable. (the battery should not be in the computer)
  5. turn power on. The screen works. Choose start windows normally. (if you get this screen)

  The thing is, the same thing happened to me this morning as well.
  Twice in 2 days and im a little worried I did something wrong during Assembly of the laptop or something. Any ideas? Or do I keep accountant with the above solution?
  Looks like a mess of power upwards of sorts.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  I assume that this question has not happened before you have disassembled the laptop. Right?
  To be honest this similar issue happened to me to. The portable light not (black screen) after I'm entered in the mode 'sleep'. However, this happened only once

  It s hard to tell why this happened to you it of not impossible that you have damaged something for disassembled the procedure.

  However, the fact is that the warranty is not valid more because you opened the laptop. That is why any approach (especially parts replacement) to solve this problem would cost money.
  So ultimately it s your decision: a technician visit to downtown to see the pieces of equipment or keep your stay with the workaround mentioned above.

• Qosmio G50 - disassembly photos available?

  Would you be interested in dismantling the top model of Toshiba G50.

  Someone has disarmed or know of a site that they experience? To see photos of catches of disarmament. Also would be interested in seeing any pictures of G50...
  Thanks much for the great help

  Hi merlinpat,

  First of all, I must say that laptop disassembly is a little tricky and not easy to do. You need to remove a large number of screws and parts that they are very sensitive, so you must know what you are doing.

  But your question regarding these pictures or technical manuals, how to disassemble the laptop are not available. As far as I know only ASP s have such textbooks and they are not for the public.

  What you can do is to search with Google to find websites. Maybe you can find some pictures, but that s all you can do.

• A few questions about the Satellite Satellite C55 - B

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - B, the card network LAN adapter, appear and disappear and the USB port on this side too, the airphone near these ports port also have problem too.
  When I use airphone and close and open the screen I can hear a sound and the volume is up and down.

  A few days ago, I opened the laptop and check all components inside, and then when I close and restart the network LAN adapter and the USB port is displayed, and now that they disappear.

  Please if someone could help me

  > Yesterday I open the laptop and check all components inside
  You disassemble the laptop?
  O man this affects and the guarantee of s notebook :(

  However, I would also recommend to load the image of Toshiba and to perform the recovery.
  I hope that this would solve the annoying problems.

  I can't imagine that this could be a hardware problem, but as you probably know: everything is possible.

  However, I keep fingers crossed that your questions would not appear after you set the notebook to factory condition.

• Satellite A200 - 28 p - question when it starts

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 p in October, it's a great laptop, but I always had a problem when it starts.

  Occasionally, and I mean at random without cause, when I turn it on the lights of disk hard flash but it beeps twice and nothing happens.
  I have to turn it off and try again, I found the best way to solve the problem is open and close the lid a couple of times and then try and start the machine. I took it to PC world where I bought it and they were a less useless place, the first time the ' + technician + ' said that he had set and it was losing RAM, when I asked if he had reproduced in fact he he looks some what confused.

  I took his word, even thought that I had done my own research that pointed to a problem of graphic\screen and took it home. Of course the problem reproduced immediately in a day or two, the second time I took it back they suggested because its so casual, that it is and I find no reproducible model, that it would not be worth sending away.

  Can anyone shed light on what could be the cause of this? It doesn't seem to affect the machine somehow when his works actually, checked all the Windows event logs and nothing so its occurring long before that.

  The second question is much easy one of my CTRL keys has broken the key is fine, is there anywhere I can get a replacement Cap? Please do not say PC World!

  Thank you
  Jon

  Hello

  I put t know why it happened, but to me this looks like a motherboard or RAM problem but I don't know m.
  The RAM, you can check with Memtest86. It s a special diagnostic for the RAM and the freeware tool. Use Google to find out.

  In addition if Memtest86 can t find a problem your laptop should be checked by a technician for laptop. They can determine what the problem is and they also have experience in laptop disassembly.
  And a new keyboard, you can also get to an authorized service provider.

  Sorry, but at the moment I can t tell more.

• How to disassemble the Satellite L550 - 11?

  Hello

  As the title suggests, I would like to know how to disassemble my laptop.
  I tried to remove all the screws, but the plastic bottom darn it didn't separate yourself dessu plastic.
  Anyone had this problem before?

  Hello

  The question is why you want to disassemble the laptop?
  I think this laptop is not very old, and I think that the guarantee must be valid
  Disassemble the laptop would negate the warranty.
  Are you aware of that?

  Disassembly laptop procedure, I really complicated and you should not try if you n t know what you are doing

  However, maybe you can find some information in the web, as page Toshiba does not provide any instructions on how.
  Search for irisvista.com/tech/

  Good luck

• Manual/Guide to disassemble the Qosmio G10

  Hello

  Just a question. Does anyone have a good link or a guide for when you want to open the G10 Toshiba? I have no guarantee more and unforutnately, I believe that the graphics card is dead, but I just want to know that.

  Thank you
  Blunder

  Hello gaffe

  It won't be easy to find something like that because dismantling manuals is not a public document. You may be lucky and someone can help, but if you think that the graphics card is dead you must swap the motherboard together.

  While you wait for instructions for disassembly, look around and pick up info how much it will be cool.

• Satellite C660-15R motherboard replacement question

  I C660-15r laptop and the motherboard no longer works, the reference is the - 6841p.
  I saw one for sale.

  My question is if I buy this record, it will be in being all problems if so what will be the questions please.

  Someone did he do not any other compatible with this laptop motherboards also and if so what are the part numbers, thanks a lot,

  Well, the laptop card mother replacement isn t easy. Its more complicated such as on desktop computers.
  First of all its really difficult to disassemble the whole laptop and on the other hand; After the replacement of the motherboard the DMI string must be updated.

  The DMI code is programmed in each motherboard and the DMI string contains information about the cell phone as; Serial number, model number, etc.

  Without this update, some software requiring such information might not work properly. Also, the laptop recovery is not possible.

  This is why this should be replaced by a mobile technician.

  > As someone not of any other motherboards compatible with this laptop and if so what are the part numbers, thank you very much
  You must use the motherboard published for series Satellite A660.
  Don t think another motherboard is compatible.

• I need repair to disassemble the Satellite C850

  I'm here!

  I would like to know if there are any service manual to disassemble the model in question?

  I think that might have any question on my speakers and I would like to study the thing before you start to invent! Meanwhile, as the quality of the speakers is terrible, I also could consider the possibility, if the event of default, to replace them with other compatible speakers!

  It's too bad the toshiba put pregnant so bad! I know this is an entry-level laptop, but for the price, deserves to be something that sounded better than an alarm clock! SRS is a fraud and false advertising!

  Best regards

  Hello

  Manual repair is not a public document, so you won't be able to find it for download. Generally for laptop must be disassembled by authorized personnel only. When you do that on your own you do it on your own risk, so do it with a lot of attention. Many smallholders plastic can be broken if you n t do it gently.

  Speakers. This is another theme. As you probably know Toshiba offers a high-end with some models of laptops speakers. As far as I know for computer laptop series C or L have standard stereo speakers, and they are also relatively favourably.

  If you use your laptop in the Office for daily activities, you can use external speakers.

• I broke my external hard drive and now it locked and disassembled?

  I just have a lot of questions here. After trying many things I found in a deeper hole.

  I use an external hard drive, it's a Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB external hard drive. It is formatted and partitioned, I did using the steps for me the Web of Seagate site, when I got it.

  I entered the hole, I'm right now because I had backup problems near the top of my photos of Lyve on my external drive. I think the reason why they would not return, it was because my drive was in offline mode in the "Status" section in Lyve, despite the fact that disk utility says the status of the disk is online. I researched and found out that this can happen if a.) the storage is full or b.) the wifi connection is bad or a connection is not available. When I opened my Seagate dashboard, I discovered that my drive was full, so I thought that was the reason. This made no sense to me because there was no way that I had somehow already packed 1 TB, I had saved only once and it is brand new. However, I deleted a ton of pictures I put in 'Lyve Import' and then allowed the trash. (I must have accidentally imported them several times, so the photos doubled several times or something because altogether they are 50 GB, 1 TB not...) That seemed to be the source because then my drive had 938 GB free!... But my drive was always in offline mode.

  So I refreshed, rebooted, unplugged and replugged, returned Wi - Fi works for Seagate Lyve and my computer. But my drive was still offline even though disk utility always says that it is online.

  Now, I'm still trying to find out why, it's that my drive has been appearing offline in Lyve when I used different Wi - Fi connections in different places and they all worked well, and I have lots of storage. One of the reasons is that the partition on my drive has still pictures of Lyve copied import, I had deleted, because there is almost no storage on this score somehow, I suspect. As you can see in the second photo, the score says he has only 16 MB of available space, and I somehow used GB 999. If it is the same as before, I don't know how to access this partition, and then delete them. It is a copy of all of these photos of Lyve Import? However...

  NOW, currently the main problem that prevents me from continuing to investigate on the previous question is: I had encrypted my external hard drive some time ago. After having annoyed having to enter a password long so many times because of the reopening and that to solve the problem 'offline', I've deciphered this hard drive clicking in the Finder by clicking Decrypt. I entered the password to do this, and have decrypted AFAIK because the password has been accepted. But now my drive says that it is locked and disassembled? What? It is shaded in the left sidebar of disk utility. It does not appear as a device plugged into the Finder. It's as if he is not yet here, but I can still access Lyve. From what I understand, my disc encryption would protect its ' content with a password. Decryption, it would mean that I wouldn't have to type a password to access? Seriously worried that I screwed to the top of something because I did not understand what the consequences would be here. In addition, why my player not appear when the score indicates the status of the disk is online?

  I have included pictures of both the disk and partition information, and what they look like now in disk utility. Previously, from what I remember, in the information section of my car he had about 948 GB available, was mounted and he said it was a logical Partition encrypted, if it is of no use. It does not display this information now because it is locked, correct? I did not delete anything?

  As you can tell, I didn't know what I was doing the same in the first place - and now, I'm stumped. Please bear with me on this because all of this formatting and partitioning, and editing and similar is confusing me, only knowledge I had performed since the steps provided in the forums or on Seagate and Lyve directions on their website. I really don't understand what that means anyway - I wasn't trying to screw around things just... Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

  

  

  

  ^ Note that this is what my Finder looks like now despite the fact that my external hard drive is connected. He always used to display the full drive Center 'FAVORITES' and 'TAGS' as a device that is currently connected, with the option to display its "table of contents or eject it.

  Update - I managed to solve this problem using this forum:

  How decrypt external hard drive, so it can be re-partitioned

  Make it wiped my drive, but given that I had pictures about it as I have copies on my computer, which was not serious.

  Good luck to everyone

• Satellite A60-672... I am a novice and have many questions!

  Hey guys,.

  I usually use my computer to surf the internet, watch DVDs and writing of reports/tests (I am an undergraduate student). I bought the computer in August 2004. Last year, he started overheating, it's a little dusty and recently it has started running very slowly (sometimes my keyboard is not type and it's a little insensitive). I think my needs of clean fan but I'm not sure how to in this regard. I really do not have to disassemble the laptop. Also, I think that my keyboard is a little dusty, how to clean that?

  I also kept the name plate on my laptop and it reads;

  Processor Intel Celeron, 2.8 GHz, 256 MB DDR RAM, 40 GB HDD

  Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 7.0 and Toshiba ConfigFree software pre-installed

  Screen TFT color 15.0 ", DVD-R /-RW drive, ATI MOBILITY RADEON 7000 IGP, 64 MB DDR RAM, port TV output, its SRS TRuSurround XT system, multimedia keys for a quick read of CD/DVD/MP3

  Modem data / fax V.90, integrated LAN, Fast Infrared (FIR), i.Link (IEEE 1394), 3 USB 2.0 ports

  OK, so I know it's probably a lot of information, you guys need not, but I do not know what information you guys need...

  I am aware that my computer is a little older and I was wondering if I need to upgrade in any way so that it run more efficiently? Also I'm not really sure that a lot of this stuff on the label means, for example it gives me two values for RAM DDR.

  And finally (I'm sorry I know theres a lot of questions in the present) my battery gave the soul just now, is possible to get replacement batteries? They deserve to get? And if I do get one, how do I extend the life of it?

  Thanks for reading! I hope that you guys will have answers!

  Hello

  That's a LOT of information, but in our society informational it s good to have enough information as possible. ;)

  Regarding your problem:

  At a first take a can with compressed air and clean your system with it. Such compressed air is available in every electronics store/market/whatever.
  Be gently when driving this trough of air holes, because you can damage probably the fan during the appearance of blisters too long in this cooling system.
  The wind bit for example for 2 seconds. The other thing is, you should do a biosupdate because it will solve some problems of fan with this machine.
  I Don t know the real version, but it should be above version 1.70.

  The thing with your battery is fairly easy: just google and you will quickly find a part of the exchange for your battery.
  The awarded the s of life sometimes good to charge the battery, then to empty (deep discharge). When you perform this step, you just have to disable all settings powersaver, so the machine should not go into hibernate or something similar when the battery runs out.

  Let the machine go and then recharge the battery to full capacity it s. With this method, you can win some day ;)

  And with your RAM (I hope that you would be upgraded because 256 MB are really less) you must buy at least DDR266 RAM, you can also use DDR333.

  I hope that you will get your machine to life. :)

  Welcome and good weekend

• Satellite P300D 10v - Question about warranty

  Hello world

  I have these overheating problems with my laptop Satellite P300D 10v.
  I did everything I could do to fix it without success...

  I have updated the bios of Toshiba. I cleaned my knees in the air compressed first and then all disassembled and cleaned better. (it was a very clean look but...)

  BUT unfortunately the problem persists...
  So I did a search on the internet and found out that most of the owners of Toshiba have the exactly same problem with their laptop.
  Well, I guess it's a bug of Toshiba for many years.
  Its a tour really nice, cool sound (the best laptop ever), BUT...
  So I wanted to do a question. As I am still under warranty, can I return this laptop and get my money back or replace it with another?

  If any body knows PLS let me know.
  chears
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I already found you other threads.
  With regard to the question of the guarantee;
  If there is something wrong with the equipment then the ASP in your country should be able to help.
  The guarantee must cover every repair or replacement.

  But I've read have you disasembled the laptop on your hand... hmmm if you disasembled Notepad then your warrany is not valid more :(
  I think it should be clear to you that you can lose the warrany if you disassemble the laptop!

  By the way: you must speak with the laptop dealer where you bought this laptop if you want to return the laptop
  The Toshiba ASP can fix and fix the laptop, but you get no money from ASP.

• Two questions with Equium P200-178

  Hi all

  I've owned my faithful * P200-178 * (PSPB2E-001002AV) for a few years now with no problems until recently. It has windows vista Home premium installed.

  First of all the built-in wireless (PA3613U-1MPC) stopped working after that a "friend" he fell! The switch works ok, but the light no longer works. I reinstalled the driver and it did make a difference. A message appears saying that the wireless adapter was not installed during the installation of the software. I even tried a model from the same wireless adapter and it does not work. What is strange, it is when you use free configuration that he knows that the switch is either on or off, but can't find the adapter. The Device Manager also can not find.

  Second, after that my children has uploaded an image to their homework the notebook had a nervous breakdown! I have all the latest antivirus software and check the system on a regular basis. The image has been printed and has now been removed. I used to put the laptop and turn it off with the power switch and not by windows, stop facilities. This no longer works. After lifting the lid, press the power button / nothing happens. However pressing the icon of music "in a box with 6 Sparks coming from it" (sorry for the pathetic description) the portable lights. Windows Vitsa appears and first seems to be ok. During boot a message saying:

  Checking file system on \\?volume {ef *-long serial number not shown in the case its unique-806 *}
  The type of file system is NTFS.
  volume label is winRE.

  One of the drives should be checked for consistency. You
  may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
  that you continue
  Windows will now check the disk.

  CHKDSK checks the files (etc, etc, etc.)

  File segment 24,25,26 and 27 are unreadable, are repaired (I think that the info is too fast to read) and possibly boots. The laptop restarts now, too.

  WHAT CAN I DO IF ANYTHING TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS / QUESTIONS?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In my opinion in the first case, there must be some physical damage and I do not think there is something you can do to fix it. I guess that laptop must be disassembled and port/switch WLAN must be controlled by technicians.

  About second question I can not say much, but in my opinion you should back up all your important data and reinstall the OS using recovery media delivered. With clean OS preinstalled, you can test the WLAN functionality again and the functionality of the power button.

  I know that this is a more radical method, but do what you will be able to test the functionality of the laptop with the State factory and without some strange files or entries in OS preinstalled.

  What do you think of all this?
