Is upgrade material on Satellite L655-183 possible?

Hello

I want to know if I can plug a new processor, or may be a graphics card in my laptop Satellite L655-183.

Thank you.

Hello

In General, these updates is not supported - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
On some models of CPU, upgrade is possible, but it can be quite risky.

Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive.

Problem is that laptops have a specific design and use some cooling system for this hardware platform. Hardware produce little heat and the material must be properly cooled. More powerful hardware will produce more heat and can result in property damage or overheating.

If you want to have more performance I recommend to increase the RAM to the maximum level and exchanging the HDD with SSD is much faster. Two upgrades are without any risk to your machine and you can do it alone.

I did it with my machine and I'm really happy now Mr. Windows (Win7) starts in 30 seconds.

    It's really, really easy

    Satellite L655-183 belongs to the PSK1JE series. Right? You can check it on the label.

  • Satellite L655 - 183 - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 update

    Hi all

    First of all I want to say is that I was disappointed.

    I bought some computer time ago laptop Toshiba Satellite L655 - model 183, which has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics card.

    I treat a lot of graphic systems and the latest PC games.
    I have long days of online search wherever possible to upgrade the video card but didn't fine anything.

    Site Web de Toshiba has an update of the video card, but from 14.1.2011 and that day we had almost in 2013.
    In addition, ATI site cannot be updated the graphics card installed on a specific laptop Toshiba, Sony and Panasonic are also prescribe it clearly.

    They clarify itself should contact the manufacturer for an updated video card. I talked to Toshiba support and they were no help to offer me, they said, that they do not know how to get updates and what appears on this site updated, they know. And which bit understand, your video card manufacturer releases updated each month to allow video cards offer maximum performance.

    However, they referred me to their laboratory, in the hope that they knew about the issue and it turns out that they do not understand and do not know how to help.
    I tried to send an email to them but no response.

    The situation is at the moment I have not finished work, which is economic implications, etc.
    I would like to know once and for all if anyone here knows where I can update the video card in this model for Windows 7 64-bit? And if possible update the video card thing?

    Thank you.

    > I would like to know once and for all, if anyone here knows where I can update the video card in this model for Windows 7 64-bit? And if possible update the video card thing?

    do you mean the driver or the graphics chip?
    The chip graphic card cannot be upgraded.
    The driver can even if you do not find a newer version on the Toshiba page.

    I could download and install the driver from a 3rd party like omegadrivers.net page
    But I also read that the use of this driver is your own risk too!

  • Upgrade HDD in Satellite L20-183

    Can I replace the real 60 GB HARD drive with a 250 HARD drive (WD Scorpio 250 GB ATA/100 5400, 8 MB WD2500BEVE) without any other upgrade?

    BIOS V1.2

    Hello

    Thanks for this I n t think that it will be possible.
    AFAIK the L20 supports an IDE interface and standard ATA-5 supports only the LBA 28 bits, which means that more than 120 GB hard drives will not be recognized!

    So, I wouldn't recommend taking a 250 GB HARD drive due to compatibility issues

    Someone who can help? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Satellite U400-183 seems to belong to the series of PCU44E. Right?
    The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for this model.
    You can find on the page of the driver for Win XP Intel Storage Manager and this package contains the SATA drivers.

    But look, man here in the forum, you can find many comments about the installation of the SATA driver why you n t use the search option?

    The best way to install the SATA drivers is the use of nLite.
    He tool free s (you can find it on the internet) and it helps you integrate SATA drivers into the Win XP disc!

  • Satellite L20-183 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-183. I would like to change the hard drive TOSHIBA MK6032GSX to a larger and more rapid as: WD 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 Mb SATA2 Notebook WD3200BEKT.
    It will be compatible or should I buy SATA 1 HDD 5400 RPM?

    Hello

    Satellite L20 works with disk HARD SATA 1 and maximum capacity, with which it was delivered was 100 GB but I think 320 should not be problematic.
    RPM MAX was 5400 then I think you should buy the HARD disk with the same number of TURNS.

    Lee

    Hello

    I found the info your device comes with 40 GB IDE (ATA - 5) HARD drive. I think in your case, to capacity. High-capacity hard drives are not recognized properly, but I think that with 60 or 80 GB HDD should perhaps be recognized correctly.

    If anyone on this forum can give you accurate information, I recommend you contact your local dealer or service in your country. They are experts upgrade material and they have accurate info on HARD drive upgrade.

    Good luck!

  • Can satellite L655-14F - I change the display driver?

    all I want to know if I can 'Upgrade graphics card in my laptop.

    Satellite L655-14F...... Hotel details

    "Graphics card".

    type: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 related HyperMemory technology
    amount of memory: 1 024 MB dedicated VRAM (total available graphics memory using HyperMemory technology can be up to 2 267 MB with 3 GB and 32-bit operating system and 8 GB memory 4 083 MB with a 64 - bit OS system memory or system)
    "type of memory: DDR3 video RAM (resp. RAM video and system memory combined)"

    We are talking on cell phones and the No. Laptops have a very specific design and hardware upgrade is limited. Generally updated graphics card is not supported by Toshiba, so there is no sense of thinking about it.

    Cooling system's biggest problem with laptops. Each laptop has the system of cooling optimized for certain physical infrastructure. Build in the cooling system should cool the hardware components and protect them from overheating and damage.

    I will now use the same word as badhat: theoretically if you upgrade graphics card, you will have more powerful piece of hardware that produces more heat than the original. More heat means more likely to damage the material.

    You can upgrade level RAM or HARD drive, but everything else is meaningless. That s in my opinion.

    Why don't l t buy you more powerful laptop? Something like Satellite A660, P750 or Qosmio?

    Hi all what he

    I have a Satellite L655 - 14 d with 3 GB of RAM and 1 GB of dedicated video RAM problem in front, it's RAM exhausted even when the computer is left idle without any programs running in the back ground is about 65-70% of the total RAM is it normal to be like this? Help, please

    concerning
    jkjoms

    Hi jkjoms,

    It depends on your installed software stuff and the operating system

    If you use Windows 7 with a lot of software installed, they always start in the background, is it possible that over 50% of the RAM will be used.
    So it's hard to say if it of normal or not without knowing what stuff is installed, but in general this behavior is the only associated software and has nothing to do with the material.

    By the way: If you don't need some applications at startup, go to msconfig (start > run > msconfig) and disable all programs that you don't need.
