• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10 - problem with the IDE connector

  Hope someone can help me here.

  I'm trying to adapt a 80 GB HDD to the M10 and I managed to get the Hong Kong HDD caddy, but no matter where I turn, I can not find the right IDE connector.
  If anyone can give me a link to a vendor, I'd be really grateful. I had this project will for about 4 months now and she crawled to a halt.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that this Assembly to support Toshiba HDD (hard drive) (number P000370340) must be compatible for the HARD drive.

  In addition, I think you need something like this:
  

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro A120-184 - SATA or PATA interface

  Hello

  I have a 120-184 (1 year) and want to know if there a SATA or PATA interface? I need to upgrade the hard drive, but here? m do not know what model to buy... To be honest I don't really know the difference!

  Sorry for stupid questions,
  Thanks in advance,
  Mike

  Hey Buddy

  You need a SATA HDD.
  The P - ATA is a technology more old which has been replaced by a new interface standard called SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).

  As I m wrong not the satellite Pro A120 was equipped with 60 GB HARD drive.

  I think you should be able to use the 100 GB or maybe a 120 GB hard drives.
  More big disk HARD s could not be recognized by the BIOS correctly.

  In case you I would not try larger 120 GB HARD disk sizes.

  See you soon

• HDD upgrade for Satellite Pro M70

  Is anyone know the upgrades available to change the standard 60GB hard drive in the Satellite Pro M70 (PSM76E-00100KEN) with something bigger.

  The Toshiba Options site shows only optionally available external hard drives, but noticed that the newer models of the same family have between 80 and 100 GB discs, so I asked if any of these would correspond, for example:

  PSM75E-00P004EN uses a 100 GB drive
  PSM76E-00500KEN uses a 80 GB drive

  You can also all drives available from other sources that might be suitable - what spec should I look, speed, installation size, connections etc. and BIOS compatibility

  All the info appreciated, surprising how fast the disk fills up, and I would like to keep in-house, although I also use an external drive of 250 GB for home storage and backups etc.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro M70 series is great, but I think that every m70 must support a HARD drive with serial - ATA interface.
  Some units have been delivered with a 80 GB HARD drive. In my view, that a 100 GB HARD drive should also work.

  I found a few properties of the HARD drive:
  Rotating disk: 5400 RPM
  Buffer size: 8 MB
  Number of discs: 2
  Number of Heads: 4

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M70

  Could someone advice me if it's worth changing my hard drive of 80 GB 5400 RPM for a 80 to 100 GB 7200 RPM drive? There is much to gain and there traps?

  Thank you

  The highest speed of HARD drive doesn't have to be a serious problem. Of course, faster hard drives produce a little more heat but it s not unusual.
  The use of HARD drive might be a bit lauder because of higher rotation speed, but the performance of data transmission would be increased.

  After the upgrade everything should work properly

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  Concerning
  J

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

• Satellite Pro M10 HDD Upgrade - how will work?

  Hello

  I have a question I have a Satellite Pro M10 (PS630E-G207W-GR) and I want to change the hard drive to a 120 GB + HARD drive so I called the Supporthotline because I need the Windows CD and they mean that would work with a new HARD drive, because the Bios does not the new HARD drive, and he was not told why. Now the question is, if it works with an update of the bios, or if maybe there is already a person here with a working 100 GB + HDD from the laptop.

  and sorry for my very bad English

  Hello

  If you are not satisfied with the answers provided by the support, you can also try to communicate with several independent services for hardware upgrade. As far as I know, they are able to manipulate the BIOS to work with hard disks are not supported. Maybe this solution is for you.

  At least on this forum, you can find topics where users of laptops repost on an improvement of HARD drive (more than 100 GB) successfully with older models as your M10. You can order 120 GB of HARD drive and try to use it. If this does not work you can send it back. To do this, you have about 14 days. Test it!

• Satellite Pro M10 attempted to upgrade processor

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade cpu original 400 fsb 1.4 mhz centrino centrino 1.6 mhz 1 MB cache 400 fsb cache 2 MB (SL7EG), it works but only the minimum frequency (+-670 Mhz), it remains each time to the lowest frequency even if a lot of work is invited to the cpu (tried a lot of cpu stress tools).

  I really don' t know how solve this problem... can someone help me please?

  Bios version 1.50, version of the firmware 83,72, 23/05/2003 date of the bios.
  Thanks for advantage

  NB: only in documents from toshiba, the CPU seems to be fully compatible with Satellite PRO M10

  Hey Buddy,

  Just a quick question: you know that upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba?
  With other words, it means that no one can tell if another CPU works correctly, and if you can use the higher speed.

  I guess if you can use t as the higher speed, the CPU is not taken in charge and that s a limitation of the card motherboard/BIOS.

• Satellite Pro M10 PS630E does not start after upgrading CPU

  I tried to install a new processor for my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-PS630E.
  He initially has a 1500, I tried to put a 1766.

  I follow the maintenance manual, later the computer change is not star upward.
  When I connet to power it show that the luminous power of orange/amber color and make 5 flashes, then 3 and then restart blinking.

  My question is "is it posible to do a reset of the bios parametrers" or "reset the CMOS?
  Is it possible to get it working again.

  Hello

  The flashing light means that it has detected a hardware problem on the motherboard!
  Perhaps you have used a wrong CPU and is not compatible.

  Perhaps the BIOS does not support this processor and therefore this flashing error code appears.

  What say you can't update the BIOS! First of all, that's not possible since only focused on the victory of BIOS is available for download. You must run the Windows operating system to update the BIOS.
  Secondly the update of the BIOS won't help you with this problem!

  You must use a CPU that is fully compatible!

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• Re: Satellite Pro M10 - strange Boot problem

  Hello.

  My Satellite Pro M10 has developed a strange problem. It will power with its installed hard drive.

  The yellow light beside of the plug symbol starts flashing. When there is no hard drive not connected, or another hard drive from another trendy laptop it starts fine?

  Please help, thanks in advance,

  Is - this original hard drive that you got with your laptop?

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi guys,.

  I searched all over the web to find an answer, but has no success. So I really hope one of you can help out me.

  I have a very old Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 with 512 MB in it. The laptop is protected by a BIOS password that I know. However, the problem is that I want to remove the password of BIOS completely. I know this isn't a big deal, but I find it annoying to type the BIOS password over and over again. Mostly because I am preparing this old lady for my oldest daughter. Furthermore, I just installed Windows 7 and it works well, but I have all the original software Toshiba, for example the HW configuration utility. I expect the download somewhere on the net, but unfortunately this is not as simple as that.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Jeroen

  Hey Buddy,

  It is easy to remove the BIOS password. Follow the instructions posted by Al - eX.
  As new password just enter anything and then the password is removed.

  I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on Satellite Pro M10. It is a very old book, and in my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice.
  In addition there are no downloads available for this model and Windows 7 on Toshiba page

• Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

  Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

  I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

  My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

  Hello

  I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
  This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
  As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

• Satellite Pro M10 displays the characters currupt at startup

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 that collapsed. When the system boots, the Toshiba logo seems to have a few points here and there. When displaying messages on the screen during startup, the characters seem corropted. For example, the message "Insert system disk", I and T of the insertion of the word seems to be half upper ASCII characters. The system S is the "less than or equal to sign." and the k of the scratch disk is {.} I already did the following:

  -tried to start with one of my two memory card and I tried the two memory cards.
  -swapped my memory card.
  -reloaded windows and Linux

  I have dropped it once but worked OK for a month after I dropped it. I deleted the operating system, but now seems to have problems to load a CD operatig system (CD works OK). Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

  Thank you
  Peter Loo

  Hello

  You suggested that the cell phone dropped twice.
  Well, you can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop to see if it s a screen failure or malfunction of the graphics card.

  You have problems with the installation of the OS? Maybe there's something wrong with the disk and the HARD disk. But maybe only loses connection is responsible for the problems. Check the pins.

  It is possible that the screen and other devices was damage due to falling down.

• Satellite Pro M10 Fn + F5 does not not after login?

  Im hoping someone can help me. IM totally confused.
  Im a projector off a Satellite Pro M10 running. The Fn + F5 works perfectly all the way up to the CTRL - ALT - DELETE prompt. Even at this stage, I can still Fn - F5 and look through the settings. As soon as I connect the FN - F5 does nothing? I deleted all monitors, reinstalled the video card with the latest driver and installed the key utility function of the device from the website?
  I guess it must be something with the display settings once the user connects, but I can't get out? I tried to take the setting down to the basic 16-bit and 800 x 600, but it makes no difference?
  Any help or pointers would be helpful?
  Thank you
  Mark

  Hello

  Sorry, but tells you is a little confuse.
  The FN + F5 combination allows to switch between display devices. You can choose an external monitor, TV etc.
  If you want to use the FN keys, you need to install the driver Toshiba display Utility (change of display device) and change the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

  These two applications are responsible of the correctly using the FN + F5 option.
  The graphic display driver has nothing to do with the FN + F5 keys.
