    Looking for help.

    You are this posting in the wrong forum, this is a forum of the laptop and is a desktop system.

    Yes, you can get a video card, install and use it.  However, you sure is that the video works is not, or is it possible that the video didn't come out because you have a larger problem as the system's not initialization and display at all, because of a sort of failure such as food or the card mother?

    If you have a spare PSU, you can try exchanging it instead of the original.  If you have a spare video card, even a few old (especially some former) PCI worthless, that you can install to see if you get any screen output.  Note that you need to maybe use the CMOS clear jumper or remove the battery for 10 minutes, while the power supply is disconnected after adding a video card, or by deleting and trying to use the video again.

    I don't know if the specifications of the two Councils are quite similar, you should look at the datasheet for your system and compare that against what ebay sellers asking them is capable of.   Generally if you have a processor socket 775 lines they list and your using the same chipset, you should be able to simply plug in the parts and windows must be able to start pretty far to plug-and-play all the minor differences.  This is the situation in which I expected, you can buy the replacement cards model you mentioned and it works perfectly except possibly having to install a driver or two, but I can't be sure without detailed specifications.  They are very close to the info, I have found, might even be just a 2nd revision of the same Council of PCChips where everything what they changed was a clock IC generator or something similar that would not do your use in any way, except that to be sure, you have the good bios when looking on the HP site for the models with this Council in there instead of the bios for your system model #. If they take even a different bios which they cannot.

    If you are able to disable the software before you change the motherboard, you are less likely to have a minor problem, but in General, you should not have problems.  Deactivation of free activation being used for another use.  Your license allows you to have two facilities activated, in order to always have one available if you have never used the two yet.

  • I need to change the keyboard on Tecra M5

    Hello

    I need to change the keyboard on a tecra m5.
    Unfortunately, this is not mentioned in the manual how to do this.

    Please advice.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best regards
    Wim Gijsels

    Hello

    I think that it s not mentioned in the manual, because I should only be made of professional technicians for laptop

    In any case, a friend of exchanged me the keyboard and told me to remove the keyboard first support. Who s the plastic cover between the keyboard and LCD display. So open the LCD screen and use your fingers on both sides and lift the keyboard bracket. There are two screws that attach the keyboard under the door-keyboard. Remove the two and lift the keyboard. Last but not least remove the keyboard plate to remove the cable from the keyboard connector.

    As you can read it's not that complicated and I hope I could help a bit! :)

    Hello

    You will need a compatible CD/DVD player.
    Not all readers are supported due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
    ODD, that uses wrong settings will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    You can buy a compatible player to a Toshiba ASP in your country.
    You can also consult your user manual.
    In my manual, I could find some information on the compatible sides

  • Computer laptop need to change the HDD in the SDS?

    Have 3 questions related to the Toshiba SSD!
    1. what laptop need to change the HDD in the SDS?
    ATA, http://www.toshiba.com/taec/adinfo/ssdfacts/ so 1.8 and 2.5, I look at who is the same dimenssions and right?

    2. I have this model Toshiba R200-S2031, is it possible to change drive HARD 80-SSD 256 1.8 inches? I understand that my model has 1.8 IDE I can't take 2.5? But replace IDE ATA is possible that they are the same size?

    3. If I R500 with 64 SSD drive, can I replace it it with greater SDS and the same size of thumb? Let's say I have 2.5 64 GB SSD ich so I could replace it with 500 GB SSD?

    tnaks for answers.
    and Toshiba - thanks to make small laptops, really enjoy.
    you want to update faster, but I LIKE THEM!
    Thanks Toshiba!

    Husbands

    (1) as a general rule, all laptops can be upgraded to an SSD. If the connector on the SSD is the same as the original hard drive connector, it should work.

    (2) I believe there are 1.8 "PATA SSD available, google is your friend.

    (3) I think the R500 is using a connector ZIFF customized for the SSD drive, then you will not be able to install a standard SATA or PATA 2.5 "SSD Drive. I don't know if you can buy SSDS with the connector ZIFF, once again, google can help you.

  • Equium A60-155 died - how to change the motherboard?

    Hello

    A week ago, I used my laptop Equium A60-155, I turned it off for the night. The next morning, he lights up no battery or AC, the lights on the front of the LT do not come on either.

    I tested the AC and it is very much pushing the 14.8V.

    On another forum suggested to abolish the HD to see if that would help (it didn't).

    So it might be that the MOBOs dead (in which case I'll have to buy a new one when I get a job, or internal theers fuse who jumped (if it exists).)

    If there is an internal fuse can I replace it myself and what is? (I'm on a job and can not afford the repair costs, some charge 70 Quid to pick it up, and another Bill 110 quid + parts)

    I guess it's just a matter of undoing the screws on the bottom?

    Hello

    I suggest also to contact the ASP in your country, because he can do a diagnostic test and can give you a detailed response.
    Maybe you n t need to change the Board of Directors, and perhaps only the part low cost has a failure.
    But to find out the laptop must be verified.

  • I need to change the note/endnote.

    I write my RESUME, and I have a large number of appendages, that I have to put in the body of the text.

    I tried to do in the pages and the best option is to use an endnote, but I need to change the Exhibitor in order to appear ' doc 1 ' ' doc 2 '' ' doc 3 "" doc 4 "instead of"1""2"'3' '4' only." ""»

    Is this possible?

    Y at - it another option in addition to the note?

    Thank you

    No one who wants to get hired puts notes/endnotes in their curriculum vitae. If you do this, you write a report, not a professional CV, which should be in a concise and standardized format (mainly for the very picky, the applicant tracking software). I suggest that you omit the end notes/notes and do research on what constitutes a professional cover letter and resume writing for your job sector target.

    Hello

    How old is your machine? If you still have your warranty, so why not give your machine to a local service partner?

    So if you don t give something on your guarantee you can trade your coins. But to look for the pieces on google and you won´t get any help from toshiba (e.g. manual disassembly or something similar).

    I tried long before your request and I made my experience that if you want to open your machine your completely on your own.

    Welcome them
