Hinge on Satellite M30 is loose

The right hinge on my 30 M is to lose. I tried to disassemble the keyboard without success, what to do?

I think that it s also too complicated and too difficult for someone who never changes these parts.
As the user above said the laptop screen hinge must be replaced. This is not easy and should be done in the right order.
You must contact the ASP in your country, because the guy might order the new hinge of the Toshiba warehouse first and second could replace a lot faster as a regular user like you and me.

So don t hesitate to ask technicians for help and details

  • Satellite M30 - how to replace the hinges?

    Hello!

    Has anyone replaced the hinges on Satellite M30? Any help or a link to a manual would be useful.

    Thnx!

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there is no manual maintenance on the page of Toshiba Europe. Only the authorized service provider got access to such manuals.

    I found this page:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba_Satellite_M35/take_apart_notebook_1.htm

    But I put t know if it will be useful for you.
    Generally, I have to say that the replacement of hinges is not easy. It s really complicated because the laptop must be disassembled.
    You must remove the mask of the display first and then have to remove the LCD screen before you could see the hinges.

    To be honest I don't recommend trying to replace it with your own hand because you may damage other parts.
    I recommend a visit to a local technician for laptop and I would like to ask for help.

  • Is SM30 good description for Satellite M30 model?

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba laptop in Italy three years ago.
    It is said in the back of my laptop, TOSHIBA SATELLITE SM30-742. PSM30E-7100V-IT.
    I thought that my model was M30 742 as SM30-742 does not appear in the sites of Toshiba.

    How can I determine exactly what my model?
    The real problem I'm dealing with is that I need to replace the LCD hinges and I found a forum where specifically stated that the hinges of the M30 do not fit into the SM30.

    Hope you can help me.
    Kind regards
    Sergio.

    You are right. Your model of laptop is certainly Satellite M30. See also http://www.pcbook.it/?cpag=schedavb.asp&pid=PSM30E-7100V-IT

    I can't tell you much on hinges, but if you order hinges to Satellite M30, it must be the right one.

  • Re: Need Satellite M30 - broken hinges - manual

    I have a question: my satellite m30 left hinge is broken and I want to fix. Where can I get a manual and the hinge (s) in europe (Austria)?

    Thanks for help.

    You won't get a disassembly manual for this laptop.
    I didn t find all downloads on the Toshiba page and I guess that these manuals are designed only for the FSA and not for public use

    It before, I think you need to contact an ASP in your country for details.

  • Satellite M30 display fall

    Today, after almost two years of use without any problems, the led on my Satellite M30 901 crashed. Start using normally the laptop, the screen become "unstable", tremoring, vertical lines appeared, the brightness of the background changed successively on white green, purple, blue then normal, it was like looking through smog. Then he froze. I restarted the computer laptop, worked a bit and crashed in the same way. After the third restart normal, the problem appeared since the first image when starting. I tried to use an external monitor, but it does not work. Any ideas? Could this be the motherboard or the screen itself. I treated my laptop with great care, did not hit or drop it. Anyy suggestions or similar behavior? What is a defective graphics card? Thank you ver much!

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say what may be the problem. It s certainly a hardware fault but I t can give you a detailed response. You need a diagnostic test that can be done in ASP.
    In my opinion, you should ask the partner to Toshiba service for detailed information.
    Maybe it's s inverter only one FL or one of the cables is loose, but for this info, you should ask the ASP.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite M30

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30 852 with Pentium M 1.5 GHz processor. My problem is that the heater does not start until the CPU temperature reached 70 degrees, which I think is a bit high, no mention that when it has reached this temperature I can not keep the laptop on my legs because it burns... and also to kind of warm around the touchpad and left side of the keyboard.

    My question is if there is any software I can use to take the cooler start at low temperatures, to keep, or if there is no setting I can adjust the laptop utilities to solve this problem (in addition to throttle CPU cooling where is defined in the performance).

    Thank you all in advance!

    Could PS: Anyone tell me which button support when starting, to get into the BIOS...? Because the F1, esc or del does not work.

    Post edited by: master of ceremonies

    Hello

    The temperature of 70 ° C nothing unusual and in my opinion not too high.
    Is that it s not recommended to use the laptop on your legs or in bet, etc.
    You should always be sure that there is enough free space (left, right, bottom) around the laptop for the circulation of fresh air!

    Usually, the Toshiba power saver controls the cooling method and the CPU processing speed. If you want to change some settings you should the fact in the basic power saver menu.

    PS: on m30 the phoenix BIOS has been installed and therefore, you should use the F2 key.

  • Satellite M30, partitioning

    After that I got some error messages and viruses so I had to format my laptop the Satellite M30.
    I used the recovery CD Toshiba 2 and the only option for me was Option 1 Option 2 is reserved for specialists, and I'm not familiar with all the terms it. In any case, the formatting not only formatait the C:\ but D:\ thus merged the formerly 2 x 30 GB in a single C:\ partition, I had no option to stop this.
    How can I split my C:\ drive again into 2 partitions of the same size?

    Sorry, but the only way with the delivered software on a M30 to create partitions is the expert mode.
    As far as I know.

    But I have a proposal.

    Tomorrow I'll do a recovery on my M30 will inform you as soon as possible.

    Cold machine. Well I'd keep it very simple. Redefine your laptop to factory settings (Simple recover using the CD or the DVD delivered).

    If the won´t still card Wifi works, there will be a material damage on your laptop.

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite M30 106

    Hi people

    Could with help please?

    Just got an old Toshiba Satellite M30-106, a few weeks ago and [to be fair] it works OK with xp on it. I bought another 2 gig DDR which brings speed wise difference, but I can move the processor to the Intel® Pentium® M processor 725 1.60 GHz FSB: 400 MHz, 2: 2 MB level cache that s in there earlier?

    Can she take a CPU more high if so what s the highest? Would be very graciously tips please.

    Thanks in advance...

    At first, I must say that I agree with you that this laptop will work with Windows XP Home edition. At least this laptop model is designed for Windows XP Home edition. ;)

    I found some info on the processors on Satellite M30:
    + The Satellite M30 computer is equipped with a processor Intel Banias who +.
    + integrates mathematical co-processor, memory 64 KB of L1 cache and a 1 MB L2 cache.
    + memory. The processor works with one of the following speeds: +.
    + Processor Intel Banias 1.40 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
    + Processor Intel Banias 1.50 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
    + Processor Intel Banias 1.60 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
    + Processor Intel Banias 1.70 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.

    Then maybe you can use the fastest processor 1.70 GHz. I don't think you'll see the difference.
    Best thing you can do is upgrade RAM to max and optimize Windows XP Home pre-installed, and you will be happy with this good old classic.

  • Satellite M30 - what compatible HARD drive can I use?

    Hello

    My Satellite M30 hard drive crashed (after 3 years of intensive use). I would like to replace it, but I don't know which drive is suitable (SATA, ATA 6... etc). The original for this computer hard disk is the MK6021GAP.

    Can someone hep me on this subject? By the way, is - it complicated to replace the hard drive on this computer?

    Thank you

    Use the advanced search of this forum and you will get several results with different threads on the same topic.
    The replacement is not difficult. At the bottom f the unit, you will find a HARD drive Bay. Armand, remove the cover and cut the shape of the disk of the controller. But be careful.

  • CPU frequency and bus on Satellite M30 is too low

    Hello

    The processor and my Satellite M30 bus seems to be significantly under speed. According to Windows XP Pro and Solaris Nevada, the processor is clocked at 600 MHz. The frequency of the BIOS, scaling parameter is set to "Still high", and I tried to disable ACPI in the operating system (ensuring no interference on the software side), without result. Power in the Toshiba Power Saver settings are all maxed out, so no scaling should be there either. Intel Processor Identification Utility reports the following:

    Reported expected
    Speed: 1.60 GHz GHz 0.44
    System bus: 400 MHz 294 MHz

    Note that the tool uses algorithms to determine the speed, rather than trusting the value returned by the operating system, that one of her aims purposes is testing for fraudulenty CPU overclocked by OEMs. The speed as it is for me is even more disappointing. I don't know how long it has been like that, but one thing to note is that the motherboard has been replaced last summer.

    Someone has an idea what here? Thank you.

    Edit: I also loaded the CPU with CPU-Burn to see if some heavy loads would get understandingly frequency. It has no effect.

    Hello

    If you use the advanced search option, you will find a few similar topics with the explanation very clear why unit works with 600 MHz only.

    In any case, after the replacement motherboard service must blink mainboard firmware. After doing this it will work at full speed. Because of this, I guess they forgot to do.

    It is not a big problem. Please contact again and explain the situation.

  • Size Max HDD satellite M30

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite M30 laptop with a defective HARD drive, I m wondering what is the maximum size that I can put in this thing, I have a 250 GB drive, I can use, but don't know if he will be able to set the player in its actual size

    On this old laptop model you can only use hard drives with IDE connector, and as Akuma have already written, there is limitation of 128 GB so I recommend you buy 100 GB IDE HARD drive and I think he will be OK for this older model laptop.
