Graphics card on the Satellite A100-386 maybe replaced/implemented to date?

Hi all

Probably having heat with my satellite a100 problem, I ran to the point were the remains of dark screen and no boot at all!
Everything has been cleaned inside the dust thermal paste applied on the three places needed.

A few months ago, I put 2 RAM to 2 GB to she thrust a little: he was fine until a few days with moment stops after an hour or so at the end of the great: do not start with no beep, nothing except the fan and the power led.

Open it, I saw the thing near the fan which could be the video card, which seems to be removable, quite rare is it not?

If that's really remplaceable, I need to find the exact same, card nvidia geforce Go 7300 Tc, say on the card, or is there the possibility to put a better card?

As far as I know, it does not reserve an establishing a removable part so can in any way with the other parts of the computer to change (compatibility), unless it is for reasons of cost...

Thanks for help

AFAIK GPU is not extensible and on some model GPU is not fixed on the motherboard and can be exchanged. If you want to replace it than just with the same if one only, you will be able to buy a.

>.. no more boot with no beep, nothing except the fan and the power led.
That is a little strange that there is no sound signal. To me, it sounds like a BIOS problem.

  • Failure of the graphics card on the Satellite A100-405

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba A100-405, which has a Geforce go 7600 graphics (specifications).
    Yesterday, playing a game, all of a sudden the frozen screen and showed a lot of horizontal stripes.
    I tried to restart the computer, but succeeded only in safe mode. The bands have not disappeared. (funny colors, such as low resolution, stripes, blocks, etc.)

    Question 1: Is my assumption that the graphics card is in correct failure?

    Question 2: Can this card easily replace? And if so, which would cost only? (in EUROS)

    Looking forward to your answers.

    Hello

    These funny funny colors, as low resolution, stripes, blocks are called artifacts (adverse alteration in the data, introduced by a technical and/or technological). It seems that the dysfunction of the graphics card. To be sure, connect the external monitor to check. Talk about the replacement, if it is integrated in the motherboard, the entire motherboard must be replaced. It costs about 35% of the total price computer laptop, as you can see that it is quite expensive.

    Also, from my own experience I know, sometimes these artifacts occur because of the graphics card overheating due to dust. Do not be lazy to clean the laptop with the jet of compressed air. Otherwise, contact the ASP (SAV) and prepare the money.

  • Is possible to extend the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the Satellite P10 504

    Anyone know if it is possible to extend the video memory on the satellite p10 504, or to replace the video card. Because the memory is too small to play most of the good games.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to increase the graphics memory or replace the graphics card on the laptop computers of s.
    Please don t compare cell phone technology with the desktop simply.
    Laptops use other motherboards and graphics cards are mostly welded on the boards!

    Nothing to do, buddy

    I wouldn't buy a laptop if you want to play the latest games! Why? Because of the possibilities of upgrading equipment.
    The desktop PC can be upgraded very easily but not the laptop

  • Is it possible to update the graphics card in the Satellite A200-195

    Is it posible to upgrade this card for me to play the game of MSTS?

    Laptop technology is simply different!
    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

    I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
    If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
    Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

    But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

  • Update graphics card on the Satellite Pro A200

  • Update graphics card on the Satellite X 200

    Hello members,

    I m a proud owner of the Satellite X 200 with a map single chart (NV8700GT-256). But like most of these screen-no video... Black NV cards. I know, this card can be changed-it s not soldered, but it seems to be a specialized map only made by Toshiba.

    Many sellers (most of them in CN) have these cards and I have googled a lot: NV8700GT with 256 MB or 512 MB. This should be fine without any problem LS - 3443P. But there are other cards sill: LS - 3442P with a chip ATI and 256 or 512 MB of ram. They are used in a note of P200. Some dealers say they are useabe in a 200 X too. The connector seems to be the same as the dimensions of the Board of directors a the place chips. Some say that ATI would be better, cooler and there is no "burn-out". I have no answer until what chip is used-i think it's a series of radeo 2600. Assessment tests provide the same speed as the NV8700GT. But none of them give a real answer - so my question is: has anyone of you experience with this card? Can I choose ATI or upgrade to an NV with 512 MB of ram. Will be my laptop boot up or should I change the bios first? These graphics problems are boring!
    Thank you, Tom

    I have senn there are many questions about the maximum amount of ram... I have a DV9000 HP with the same chipset intel PM965M for office. HP says the maximum is 4G (2x2G) as toshi too. (For HP), but this true isn´t! My HP has two modules of 4G with the 2Rx8 specification; 8 tokens, 6400S / 800M, order 8 x 512. With windows vista64 oder w7-64 with no problems. I m going to test it with my toshi after solving the video problem...

    Hello

    so many people are asking this, and I love to explain so often. ;)

    No, it s is not possible! You cannot update, since the VGA of the computer is limited to the motherboard, oou if the motherboard has really a port special external pci - e VGA, then everything just because the modular design of the hardware, but not that you can change the VGA card.

    But don t be funereally :), there is a solution.

    There are some manufacturers that are developing a case of external graphics card, where you can put a regular vga (pci-e) card for playing games on a screen.

    Just type in google: slot external vga express

    Good luck

    I have a near new Satellite P100 - 10 p. On paper the performance figures was intrigued, but I was disappointed with the graphics performance:

    1 games tend to have a temporary frame rate slowdown every 3 seconds approximately.

    2 Media players often begin to play choppy (especially Windowns media player and DVD to win)

    I've updated the BIOS, but the problem is still evident.

    Hello

    It is not the BIOS or the problem but the problem of Vista.

    If you install XP on this notebook, you will notice a huge graphic performance increase.

    I found this message here in the forum posted by Jack_Black:

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    I found this very interesting discussion and I need to clarify something.
    You n t need to upgrade the BIOS to another version to play the different games on the Vista operating system.

    The games couldn't t work properly because of the Vista OS.

    Several weeks ago, Microsoft released and fix that resolves some problems with the Multi-GPU support on Vista. This is useful for users who use the computer gamer with 2 GPU
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3ben-us%3B936710

    Now, Microsoft has released patch which solves the problems with the use of virtual address space. It is a reason why some games crashed or didn't flow normally.

    Use of the virtual address in Windows games development space

    I think that you just have not installed the right driver LAN and WLan driver

    As much as I know this laptop supports Intel Pro 100 Lan and WiFi Intel 3945ABG card card

    Please visit the European driver Toshiba page again and download the compatible network driver and the driver WLan.
    Unpack the packages, then install it.

    Finally check again if the LAN and WLan cards were recognized in the Device Manager in network adapters.

  • Satellite A100-386 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

    Hello

    I wanted just to update my old Satellite A100-386 with 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb Crucial) instead of 1 GB, as I am now running Windows7 Pro 64 bit instead of the original XP 32.

    I read that I had to upgrade the BIOS as mine is v2.00. So, I downloaded the last of them.
    It seems to be an automatic upgrade of BIOS (S10V600.exe) as mentioned on the site Web of Toshiba.
    But when hit the .exe, I have a box of error message saying:
    "LOADPEDRV. "EXE: could not start the service.

    My question is: do I have to be 32-bit OS to run the upgrade of the automatic BIOS or is it possible to Flash the BIOS with a Windows7 64 bit OS run?

    Thanks a lot for all answer as I found no 'how to' in search on this forum.

    Best regards

    Hi FPSim,

    Who said that you need to update the BIOS to upgrade RAM? The maximum RAM capacity depends on the motherboard and chipset and not BIOS.

    Official website of Toshiba, I have seen that the model supports 4 GB of RAM so the BIOS update is not necessary. Increase the RAM and everything is ok.
