• Portege Z830 - screen broke and I need to replace

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Portege z830. My screen broke and I need to replace it.

  Is it possible to install an IPS display instead of the original LTN133AT25-601? What IPS screen is compatible with LTN133AT25-601?

  Hello

  The original LCD that has been used in Z830 was a 13.3 TFT color LCD "(HD) 1366 x 768."
  So if you want to use any other presentation, then you should pay attention to the size of the screen and the connectors.
  I think these are the most important key elements.

• Equium A60-191 - need a new recovery disk

  Hello. Anyone know where I can get a cd recovery Toshiba Equium A60-191-the one I was badly scratched and I need a new - can I download one on line?

• Equium A100 - do I need a new battery?

  I have an Equium A100 all of a sudden it has stopped working. I bought a new power adapter, but this does not solve it. If I remove the battery and plug it into the area I get a little flash to power led but while they come out, you think that I need a new battery?

  If the laptop works when it is plugged directly into the sector without the battery inserted?

  I would appreciate your help.

  Hi mate,

  I doubt that a new battery can solve this problem. I want to say normally connected to your laptop AC adapter, you should work correctly, abnormal or even without battery.

  In my opinion it s associated with another party. Maybe it s a problem of motherboard or something else.

  You should ask a technician for laptop help. They can help you to solve this problem and diagnose the reason for this.

• Equium A80 - BIOS does not detect new CD/DVD drive

  Hello

  I had to change a DVD player in my laptop Equium A80 earlier and now have problems using the restore DVD to my laptop to factory settings. I updated the BIOS with the latest version available, but the BIOS is still not able to see the DVD player, so does not start a restore. The DVD is fine once Windows has loaded and works very well on another PC under BIOS. I tried another DVD drive on the laptop, but he is unable to see anyone.

  Anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

  Thank you!

  Hi mate,

  First of all the CD/DVD drive must be recognized in the BIOS that you can boot from the CD/DVD drive. Otherwise it of not possible to boot from the Toshiba recovery disc.

  What is the type of the old/new CD/DVD drive?

  The user manual contains a list of compatible drives. It appears here? The fact is that not all drives are compatible with all laptops.

• Satellite Pro L20 - I need a new screen and I am unable to find a part number

  Hi all

  My L20 Pro Satt needs a new screen and I am unable to find a screen with number of part corresponding to mine.

  Can anyone provide me with the other part numbers that would fit mine.

  Thank you

  I found only a display for a Satellite L25 Pro but I guess that the two devices are very similar and use the same part of the screen.
  The display part number is K000000620 and it s a 15 XGA 1024 x 768 display.
  http://www.screentekinc.com/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_L25--15-inch--1024x768-XGA-laptop-LCD-screen.shtml

  You also can order the compatible display. You can contact the partner of service allowed in your country to order this part.
  But be aware that the display is one of the most expensive parts of laptop.

• Need a new mothherboard for Equium A60

  I tried suggestion given in the forum but I am always sick, I think I need a new mothherboard for Equium A60, I searched on the Toshiba site but tere does'nt seem to be links or place where it is said you can buy a home, HELP!

  As much as I know, that you cannot order parts for laptop direct from Toshiba.

  You can do this in some independent electronic store, perhaps by approved maintainer Toshiba or on eBay. I recommend you check out eBay. Here you can find many hardware components for various Toshiba laptops.
  With a little luck you can find mainboard for your model of laptop also.

  Check it out.

• Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) - screen LCD cleaning and new display drivers

  I have P200 almost 2 years (which means the end of a guarantee for me soon) and after about a year, bad pixels began to appear. I do not know exactly if all (it's more than 10 now) are in fact the bad pixels. Compared to other laptops Toshiba, I have always had lower edge of the frame of the screen a little loose (so he leans a little after I push in the middle of it and a lot of dust and dirt continues to fall below) and there was a time where I have even a piece of hair between the transparent cover of the lcd screen and the Panel itself (after a certain time it fell under the bezel by itself).

  I would like to ask, if it is possible to remove the transparent cover of the screen so I can clean from inside?

  I want to avoid a scenario, when a service provider told me that there is an insufficient number (according to the ISO standard) bad pixels for repair under warranty, so all that waiting to get the laptop to and return service was actually for nothing.

  Also, is there somewhere a new VGA driver for this laptop? There Radeon HD2600 and the latest driver download from Toshiba site is July 22, 2008. I also tried ATI.com but it's as if HD2600 was no model ATI. The standard Catalyst drivers for versions of office do not work and there is no HD2600 specialized drivers, except those of Toshiba. I think that this will become a problem even more acute when Windows Seven will be put in place and with a lot of users is no longer manufactured portable (and many of them ignored Vista if their material has enabled), will seriously consider trying the new OS and there is no VGA compatible driver for her, because some Toshiba forgets to update them and ATI seems that they don't care.

  Thanks in advance for any help with these.

  Hello!

  To be honest right now I n do what cover you average, but normally it s not necessary to clean the LCD from the inside.
  Also it of a bit more difficult to remove the cover plastic around the LCD and you really must pay attention to not destroy as this plastic is very sensitive.
  In my opinion the best way would be if you go to an ASP. For the moment, your laptop is still under warranty so that you should use to get a free repair of laptop. With more than 10 pixels dead, you should get a new view.

  On the Toshiba site, you can find the nearest authorized service provider:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  On the display driver: why do you need a new? I always use the drivers of Toshiba and never had a problem.
  What you can do is to get a cell phone which is equipped with the same graphic card. Maybe on other cell phones, a newer driver has been released yet.

  Good bye

• Desktop HP Envy 750-114: do I need a new monitor or graphics card?

  I have a HP Envy Office 750-114 and a HP. V242h color monitor, etc. on the monitor are flat, dull and almost gray. It has been like that since we have the computer about a year ago. I've tweaked the contrast, etc., on the screen and it's a little better, but still not very good.

  So, is it a new graphics card for the computer, or a new monitor? I'm afraid that if I buy a new monitor, it'll be the same, dull and flat.

  If a new graphics card is required, which would be a good thing, and I need a new power supply?

  My son loves to make games, one that is good for the games would be better.

  Thanks in advance!

  I did experiment a bit and partially answered my own question. I removed the monitor in question (HP V242h) and hooked it to another computer. What a world of difference! So I don't think it's the monitor, but the graphics card.

  If a modified question: what would be a good graphics card for my HP Envy Office 750-114? One that enhances the display and provides the best game? Also, would need a new power supply?

  Thanks again in advance!

• I need a new boot disk

  What I want is a boot disk, I need to reinstall windows, I have the key to product on the side of my computer. I tried to call for help, but I am sent to dell (I don't know why because the computer was delivered to Cyber Power and I do not have the recovery disc that came with her computer because my friend lost). It's my friends computer, but it is in the marines about to be sent to Afghanistan, and he hang on to it for my own personal use until he gets back. It has been formatted, and I thought the disc was in the box, but there is no disc. I just need a new disk of vista, and I don't want to call microsoft for a second question 2 and pay an arm and a leg of a sudden phone. I have genuine Windows Vista Home Premium and you want to reinstall. So simple, and yet so much to ask for from microsoft.

  How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  But, as your friend received a disc, you will not have a recovery Partition

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Do I need a new product key I going from 32 bit to 64 bit?

  I have the 32 bit windows 8 on my PC and bought a £50 product key. But I didn't know that my processor could take 64 bit OS.

  So I was wondering do I need to buy a new product key if I change the same operating system to 64 bit instead of 32-bit?
  I have both drives and I installed the 32 bit, thinking that it could have only 32 bits because it was vista 32. now I realize, there can be 64.

  No, you don't need a new product key, you can use the same product key to install and activate the 64-bit version.

  64 bit 32 vs

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  64-bit Windows 8 comes in handy when you need to deal with at least 4 GB of RAM or more. 8 32-bit Windows can use up to 3.2 GB of RAM. Because the address space of memory is much larger for 64-bit Windows, this means that you need two times more memory than the 32-bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do much more, you can have more apps open, do things like run a virus scan in the background it will affect the performance of your system. 64-bit Windows 8 is safer too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable because they must be signed before it can work with 64-bit Windows 8.

  Regarding compatibility, you need device drivers 64-bit hardware devices, you may have. In addition, there is no 16-bit subsystem in Windows 8 64-bit, which means, your applications must be 32-bit only, not 16-bit Installer or programs uninstaller.

  If you need to upgrade to the 64-bit version, you will have to redo your installed 32-bit custom. You said that you ordered the backup DVD with your order, so you have 64-bit disk.

  You will need to do a clean install, there is no place on the way to upgrade Windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. Launch the Windows Easy Transfer utility in Windows 7 and create a DAMP (Windows Easy Transfer file), if you have an external hard drive, you can access it later when you perform a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 8 disc so you can stored there.

  http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/07/using-Windows-easy-transfer-in-Windows-7/

  Once you have done this, just do a clean installation of 64-bit Windows 8 disc. In 64-bit Windows 8 disk, launch Windows Easy Transfer, follow the wizard screen, tap on which is stored the WET file (external hard drive) and it will restore your personal files and settings. Reinstall the applications needed.

  Install the 64-bit version:

  Boot from the DVD 64-bit of Windows 8
  Click Install now
  Accept the license agreement
  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

  You will receive the following warning:

  The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

  (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

  The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

  Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• My macbook pro mid-2012 is very slow. Do I need a new battery?

  Hello world

  Support on this community has helped me tremendously before so I thought I'd post again about a new problem.

  I upgraded my Mac with an SSD, which works very well, with more RAM; However, recently, it has been very slow and train, and I don't know why. RAM is not being crazy, so it must be something else.

  After reading the other posts, I'm thinking maybe I need a new battery? I mean I have 893 cycles ahah. Could someone help with this?
