I want to replace the 40 GB HDD on Satellite M50 130

I want to replace the hard drive, because it becomes unreliable, but can't fnd the specs.
Can someone help with the exact specifications please?
Is the drive IDE or SATA?
Size = 2.5 inches?

I think the original size is 40 GB, can I replace it with any size?

Did the removal and easy replacement? Are there instructions please?
I have a horrible feeling that there may be data recovery for the operating system on a hidden in the drive partition.

Is this correct? May only be transferred to a new hard drive?
Thank you very much
Nick

Satellite M50-130 has been delivered with the 2.5 "60 GB HARD drive.
This HARD disk supports a rotational speed of 5400 RPM and it supports an improved IDE (ATA 6) interface.

If you need a HDD IDE and not SATA

  • want to replace the faulty wireless card in dv6

    Hello

    I want to replace the card wireless in my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook (product LK384PA #ABG number).

    I read somewhere (in a lot of places actually) that the BIOS will almost certainly turn off the map (may even refuse to system startup).

    My current faulty card is Intel Centrino Wireless - N 1000 (model 112BNHMW).

    Issues related to the:

    If I buy the same model of card off ebay - the bios will allow it? Or the card should be "tattooed HP?

    If I can't find a map tattooed HP on ebay - I'll be able to use a USB wireless card?

    TIA

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    Cards supported with the corresponding reference numbers are in Chapter 3 begins on page 19.

    What you said is correct. You only NEED to install one of the maps in the maintenance manual and it MUST have this part number HP on it or it won't work at all.

    Laptop you don't POST until the unsupported card is removed.

    Make your request eBay only by the number of the desired part. Do not interview the model of the card.

    You can also get most of the HP maps (of course that you will probably pay more) on the site below.

    Enter the part number you want to buy. If this is not available, you can call HP and give them your model number and the wireless card you want and see if you can get it that way.

    Or you can use the PartsSurfer from HP:

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx

    Yes, you can use a wireless USB adapter, but I recommend that go into your BIOS and disable the onboard or remove physically, if you never want to use again.

    Hello

    Take a look at this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=41606

    Seems that you need a 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    I think you can take a 120 GB HDD and the HDD should work properly.

    HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
    Its guarantee with a plastic cover and screw. Remove the screw, then cover in plastic and then you should be able to remove the HARD drive...

    Someone knows his apare part # and any sugestion wich RAM is compactables for my machine and better plase to get?

    Hello!

    If you want to replace your CD/DVD drive, you should look in your user manual. It should be a list of compatible drives that work with Notepad. Check it!

    The new RAM should be a SO-DIMM DDR2-533. The part number for 1 GB is PA3411U-1M1G.

    Finally and most importantly the best place for spare parts is the authorized service provider. They order all the original parts of Toshiba and the Toshiba site, you can search for the closest.

  • It is possible to omit the popup warns "do you want to replace the existing file?

    Well, the title says already

    I have an application where the user can save the results to a log file; These data are added

    (using OpenFile (file_name, VAL_WRITE_ONLY, VAL_APPEND, VAL_ASCII), so the opening of this file will not replace its content, but it adds up.) It would be appropriate to use the same file.

    Unfortunately, when the caller (FileSelectPopupEx) and selecting an existing file of the warning that appears the file already exists. It's OK. But the message keeps saying "want to replace you? In this case, this message is quite confusing for the user, because the program will not replace anything (which of course does not function FileSelectPopupEx).

    So I was wondering if it is possible to avoid or change this message popup?

    Thank you!

    What constant you spent buttonLabel parameter? The behavior of the function changes depending on the indicated button. In particular, (citing the help):

    Note   If VAL_SELECT_BUTTON or VAL_LOAD_BUTTON is passed to the parameter buttonLabel, FileSelectPopupEx service confirms that the selected file exists. If the file does not exist, the function prompts the user to select an existing file.

    Using the button "Save" should result in the confirmation message that you face now.

    I guess if you are using the simple OK button no prompt (to confirm: I'm not sure but I can't test it at the moment).

  • I want to replace the code between 2 comments on a lot of files that just may not know to do.

    There is code between 2 comments I want to replace. For example <!-#header-CODE > <!-#/ header->

    The problem is that there are some differences in the code in each file. Its a header I wanted to change a html Web site, I thought that the best way would be to use the feature replace
    But each file is slightly different in the code. If it's just does not. All of the code between these two points must be changed for the same block of code.
    I tried to use regular expressions, I can't understand.
    I tried you/w/w, but it won't work.

    Why is there not an easier option. As <!-#header-> * <!--> #/ header and replace everything between the help file should have at least give an example of the various possibilities.

    Try

    ((\s|.) *?)

    Make sure the "Use regular expression" checkbox is checked.

    I then uninstalled from the PC and went to their website and download the latest version.

    I liked the presentation how functional it is firewall worked, especially in what concerns the software installed, but now is too much of a risk, and there are others out there.

  • How to replace the hard drive internal on Satellite 2450?

    Hello!
    Last month, after a BSOD displayed (I don't have the code of error message, unfortunately) my laptop decided to not work again.
    At the start, he reached the start menu and then displays a black screen... no message, no auto restart... nothing. Just a weird noise coming from the hard drive (like a scratched cd).

    I tried to format the drive, but without success. After choosing the boot source, trying to read the cd and the black screen appears again, with no message. I checked if the Bay of cd is not working properly and it is. (I think)
    So I replaced the HDD in my satellite 2450. A new toshiba ide 2.5 30 GB hard drive. But when I install a new one, the system does not recognize.

    The control panel of the Bios says that "no hard disk" is available, and I can not change this option. (locked)
    With the Windows Xp cd in the drive, the Setup program runs all properly until the 'select drive' format menu, witch says that no hard drive is recognized (with a new drive hard in).

    I don't really know what to do!
    Is something missing in this process?

    Thank you for the patience

    Hello

    The laptop did not recognize a new HARD drive. Which is one reason why Win XP cannot follow the additional installation steps

    I can't say exactly why the HARD drive is not recognized, but the 30 GB IDE should be ok.
    I remember one of my friends had a similar problem with the new HARD drive.
    Some hard drives have a jumper (3.5 HARD drive and 2.5 IDE HARD drive too)
    Maybe you should check if a rider has been set to the right position (slave?).

    Check it otherwise that I recommend to test with another new HARD drive

    In the worst case the disc HARD controller might be faulty, but it would mean replacing a motherboard

    Hello

    My laptop's dvd - rom drive is old and broken, now that I have here an other dvd - rom drive, but I don't know how to remove the old dvd - rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manuals how to replace the dvd - rom drive?

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure on the CD/DVD drive replacement on this laptop, but I assume that the procedure is very similar to other portable players.
    For the most part the ODD is secured with the screw at the bottom of the unit.
    You will need to remove this screw to get out and to swap the drive.

    But be careful and don t there if you have no experience!
    Moreover, not all readers are compatible and supported in reason parameters master/slave/c-salt. If you n t know which drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for advice!

  • Replace the card wifi Atheros on Satellite A210-12 q (PSAELE)

    I tried to replace the Atheros card build-in with an Intel Pro Wireless 3945ABG LINK: [http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/prowireless_mobile.htm]
    But for some reason any machine does not see the card.
    I tried with three types of Intel IPW3945ABG cards and none of them has been recognized by my computer.
    Is the cards intel not "compatible" with my computer or come into conflict with other hardware components.

    The card Atheros build does not work under Linux (it works quite :-(), so it is very important to me, to get the Intel working on my computer card.

    Hello

    the problem is that your computer has an AMD processor, so if you try to install a WLAN Intel card who needs centrino technology that is ONLY taken in CHARGE by the Intel platforms, then your won´t machine recognize the card. To answer your question: the map you´re trying to install is not compatible with your system.

    I wonder why your card is not working properly under linux, I have 2 machines with integrated atheros cards and they work like a charm (Ubunutu and Gentoo).
    So if you describe where the problem is so we can perhaps find a solution and you should not try to install a card intel...

  • Replace the Qualcomm Atheros ar956x in Satellite L50 - B

    Hi all

    I am wanting to change the existing WiFi card in our Satellite L50 - B (Qualcomm Atheros ar956x) due to the limitation of speed of connection 150 Mbps! We have a router AC and I move 800 Mbps!

    I was hoping to use an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 however the cards seem to be physically different.

    Any ideas would be great!

    see you soon

    Scott

    Hello

    Found some details about this Intel WLan card on the page of Intel:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/75439/Intel-dual-band-wireless-AC-7260

    + Board form factor: half a PCIe card Mini / m2 (NGFF).

    As far as I know the WLan module that is built into the laptop supports Mini-PCI card format.
    So, you have a miniPCI module.
    But you should consider BIOS support. Not all wireless network cards could be supported by the BIOS.

  • How to get the disc of recovery for Satellite M50 161

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite M50 161 4 years ago and its been great until recently when he developed serious problems.
    I need a recovery disc or the disc of the original for XP software but none of this was supplied with it.

    How can I get these disks now?

    > I need a recovery disc or the disc of the original for XP software but none of this has been provided with it.
    I'm in doubt about it. According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite M50 161 comes with brackets to follow:
    -Recovery media (CD or DVD)
    -Express Media Player
    -Additional software CD
    -Microsoft Works Suite

    All the old models of laptops come with recovery CD. I have some old Satellite m70 and still have original valuation facilities Toshiba DVD.

    Anyway, you can try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help. To be honest I don't think you will get for this older model laptop. For the installation of the OS, you can also use Microsoft installations CD.
