How to change the settings of the BIOS on Satellite L30-134?

I have a toshiba l30-134 and I can not for love nor money to update or to unlock my BIOS. Yes before you repeat the usual speal on laptops is limited. I know they are!
BUT... the BIOS on my laptop is, at the end of the day an interchangeable accordingly with appropriate tools and integrated program.

It is well known that large computer makers lock end-users to access these options to stop their valuation there own bought and paid for PC, so that they can not go out and buy a cheaper machine, and improve it. It is also a common misconception that laptops are not expandable. That's what they want you to hear. It is not true. OK, so you can't plug loads of PCI cards or graphics in it, which would defeat the object anyway.

Extensible components in a laptop ARE IN FACT evolving for example, memory and HARD drive.
There are several options that I would see in my BIOS, I know they are there, and I know that they have been hidden.

Why, oh why can't get rights to access these options? After all, he has bought and paid for, and if I want to tinker with it why I shouldn't. She belongs to me now.

I have a few tools that will change these settings in the BIOS, Phoenix BIOS editor and WinPhlash, but again, I have not found a downloadable BIOS for my machine. But believe me when I do I will be changing the options in the BIOS. And I hope I'll be able to put together one guide for others who also believe that they can change it machines anyway they see fit.

Watch this space!

You can have a BIOS custom-made on your laptop, but not through an official site like Toshiba.
I do not understand what options you believe was hidden from the normal user like you and me.
In addition, I doubt that you can improve the performance of your laptop by changing the Firmware into something else.

Once a stable Firmware is made to a system, it is preserved and everyone (manufacturer and user) are happy
with the result.

    You may or may not need to change the BIOS settings.  Assuming that you have a bootable CD with this tool, put it in your CD drive and restart the computer.  One of the 3 things will happen:

    1. the computer starts from the CD and you can follow all instructions you have Symantec.

    2 watching very carefully that the computer starts.  You may see a message that says something like "press any key to boot from the CD-ROM.  If you see this message, press a key (for example, the space bar) and the computer boots from the CD.

    3. watch very carefully that the computer starts.  You will see a message that says something like, "to change settings, press F1."  The key that you press on will be different depending on your particular computer.  It might be F1 or F10 or del key.  Whatever it is, press this button and you will enter the BIOS configuration utility.  From there, you can change the boot order to CD first.  Directions to navigate the BIOS Setup will be displayed on the screen, but they will involve using the button tab, enter, and arrow keys, because your mouse does not work in this utility.

    First of all you n t need to access the BIOS to boot from the CD.
    You can simply press the F12 key immediately after the laptop has been powered.
    It would show the available boot options.

  • Performance of the fans on Satellite L30-134

    Hello

    I have a question about the performance of the cpu on my L30-134 fans (celeron M 410 @1. 46 ghz). Some users posted similar questions on different laptops series L, but I'd love to hear some comments L30 - 134 user/advice.

    The problem is that by default, the fan does not work on the down low all the time, but it is off and goes on every 2-3 minutes hit RPM high and causing a lot of noise. Sometimes however it works down low most of the time, being really quiet and keep the temperature at 48 to 55 degrees, while during for turning on and off the temperature is 58-65.

    There are two options for cooling in Toshiba Power Saver (which came preinstalled) we're max performance, the other is to optimize the battery. The fan seems to work on the Tower on / disable system regardless of the option selected.

    Q1 Do these two options are actually on the fan is constantly working on low speed or activation and deactivation?
    Q2 How can I do the fan runs all the time at low revs?
    Q3 is there third-party security programs to control the fan speed?

    PS: I don't have all of the options on the fan speed in the BIOS

    I'd appreciate your comments. It is not fun to have a noisy fan :)

    Hello

    As you have already mentioned the Toshiba Power saver is preinstalled on your device.
    My phone supports also this utility and energy saver controls the speed of the CPU and cooling mode.
    M unit fan starts to turn if the temperature rises to a higher level, but it depends on the use of the laptop. I don t play much games performance, but I use my camera for graphic design. Sometimes, the fans run really fast and long, but sometimes the laptop is quite.
    My support of intelligence tools speed level 4 CPU processing power and cooling method is the value max performance.
    I think the cooling also depends on the environment

    Moreover, I also read a lot of reviews on the cooling fan rotation and. Sometimes, the update of the BIOS changed the performance of fans

    A small comment to Q3: Don t think that any 3rd party application will control the performance of the fans properly. If the energy saver is not installed on the device, the power of Microsoft options are responsible for execution.
