• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

  Hello

  I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

  I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

  I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

  When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

  I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

  I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

  I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

  So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

  I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

  Pedro

  Hey Buddy,

  > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
  Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

  I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

  From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
  I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

• Satellite L30-PSL33E - product recovery fails

  Laptop Satellite / L30-psl33E

  This is what happens:...

  Product recovery disc boots, loading files, windows recovery watch utility box select English, then gives possibility of partition of drive or any use, I click to recommended any disc, then computer past the black screen, delete the partition 0, erasure of partition 1. * error...
  (error creating file\\./physical drive0, the system cannot find the file specified),
  hard drive # 0 is not accessible or bad raid configuration.
  * Then an administrator opens upward *:... part of disk failed, has not the raid class, press any key to continue, * I press a key, *, the computer hangs, press a button again, another box of Directors appears with the command line.
  x:\windows\system32\cmd.exe,

  Nice anyone got advice or tips, thanks

  It's very strange

  The error message says something about RAID but the L30 does not support the RAID and also the RAID drivers are not necessary.

  I m a bit confused and I think there could be something wrong with the HARD drive.
  Have you tried to reinstall the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows?

  Try this format the disk using this CD, and then try again to reinstall the operating system.

  If this does not work then a HARD disk problem is possible

• Tecra S1 - what is the latest bios?

  Hi, I wonder if someone can direct me to the latest version of the bios S1. The reason that I ask is that I have a bios loaded, which is 30/03/2005 ver 2.50 but when I try and get the latest version from the dated 07/09/07 Tosiba site it downloads just the same old bios? Is this the last or not?

  Thank you, Theo

  Hello

  The latest BIOS seem to be 2, 50-win.
  The BIOS seems to be transferred to 07/09/07
  I put t surprising, since 07/09/07, has not been updated. Tecra S1 belongs to one of the older series, and I doubt that this newer BIOS version would be published in the future

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - how to access the recovery partition

  Hi all

  I have a L30 (psl33e) who has the tact recovery partition, but I can't find how to access.

  I don't remember a CD recovery and thought that now zero or F10 key when turn the laptop would allow me to recover the system.

  If I need a recovery CD to access the partition then where I'd get that?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Ben

  Hello

  I think your L30 Sat was not equipped with a HARD drive recovery option and there is therefore no partition of HARD drive recovery!

  If your laptop would supports the recovery of HARD drive then it should be able to restore this laptop by pressing the F8 key immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
  Then you can choose the option to fix my computer.

  But as I said above, I doubt that this L30 it would support because as far as I know the recovery disk must be sent with the notebook.

  If you don t have a recovery disc, then try this site:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  If you will be unable to order the disk using the above Web site then contact ASP in your country to a recovery DVD.

  Good bye

• Upgrading processor on Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

  Hello
  Anyone know if the L30 (PSL33E) supports core 2 duo?
  And if yes, someone did - he tried?
  (also, have noticed that most new bios for these online is v2.60 and mine is v2.80 again)

  Hello

  No, I Don t it is possible because of the chipset. The chipset could not handle the new processor. The other thing is:

  How do you install? You know the instructions how to exchange the processor in a mobile system? It s not the same procedure as in a desktop computer.
  I did once and I had a lot of problems, especially with this thing 'firmware', because you will need a special DOS program that writes the microcode of the cpu in the bios because the characteristics of the processor.

  This program is available only to technicians from toshiba and I didn t have managed to get a copy of this program.

  So just forget your idea and benefit from my experience (and Don t waste money and time :))

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - upgrade of CPU and RAM

  For all other owners L30, my L30 - 10 v has been improved by me to the following specification while I owned it:

  Intel Core Duo T2450 bus of 2 GHz 533 mhz cpu (faster processor you can use in the L30 psl33e)
  2 GB DDR2 667 mhz Ram (1 x 1 GB Kingston, 1 x 1 gb Kingmax) - with no problem and works fine at 667 mhz.

  Okay, so the laptop is now at its maximum, but will not need to upgrade to a new for a while :)

  Hello

  Very interesting, buddy! :)
  I think that it s useful for other owners L30

  With regard to upgrading the CPU. What CPU did you before and now you have overheating problems or everything is ok?

• Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

  Hello

  My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

  It completely off and now won't start at all.
  Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
  No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

  She tried without the battery.

  A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

  Any ideas what this blink code means?

  Thanks in advance,
  D.

  I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

  In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
  Why?

  because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
  It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

  I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

• Black screen after flashing to latest BIOS

  Nothing but black screen after flashing the latest bios (fan, leds work)...

  I can do, or that of new bios/motherboard can help? (I tried to rest the battery, press F8...) Thanks in advance

  I presume that the BIOS is doomed. What you need is a professional help with this then contact the nearest service provider and ask for help.

  By the way: check this forum using the advanced search option. In the past, I have seen several interesting discussions on BIOS recovery. I m quite skeptical on this subject but maybe you will be lucky and find the solution.

• Update BIOS Qosmio X 300 has failed - the size of the ROM file is incorrect

  Hello

  I use TEMPRO, and he suggested to update my BIOS.
  I downloaded the file and run the Setup file. Unfortunately, it says "the size of the ROM file is incorrect.

  This means I m doing wrong? or I have the latest BIOS in my system.

  Please advice.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First of all I don't do everything what said Tempro!

  Secondly, this message was posted here in the forum several times and if you are looking for the size of the ROM file is incorrect, you would find that:

  and this, for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=73284

  The problem is that you have unzipped the Cabinet correctly!

  In any case, I think that it s not useless to put anything, if the laptop runs without problem!

  I tried both options, the screen turns white and the same options appear while it sticks right in this continuous loop.

  Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

  Have you checked the memory modules?
  These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

  But as I have already said, we can always provides suggestions and be 100% sure what part is affected a notebook check would be needed!

  Hello

  Solution is simply ;) you must first install the Microsoft patches (patches) KB888111 and KB835221.

  These two hotfixes must be installed before you try to install the audio driver!

  Here's my advice;
  First, install * KB888111, KB835221 * and then restart the device and after this short intervention, install sound driver that was downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page.

  I hope this helps you.

  Best regards

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - wifi is not working after installing XP

  Satellite L30 PSL33E downgraded from Vista to XP. Everything works apart from the Wifi. Device Manager displays Atheros ar5005g card with yellow exclamation point.

  I tried the driver from this site, but windows does not load the driver as it is not signed.
  I try to reload the driver and the laptop freezes.

  I'm probably something wrong. If advice... soon

  Hello

  First you need to update the Win XP to the last State.
  Very important are the SP2 and al MS patches and fixes after the release of SP2.

  The European Toshiba WLan driver page provides a new Atheros WLan driver which is compatible with the Windows operating system. XP and Vista.
  Check this box:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

  First remove (uninstall) installed WLan driver and then install the new driver Atheros WLan downloaded.
