Maintenance for Satellite 1900 305 manual?

Are there downloadable for Toshiba laptops service manuals - as some other manufacturers have on their Web sites.

I have the usual problem with a laptop computer when the power connector is intermittent. I suspect that there is need to resolder as I had it with other laptops.

I need to know how to open the case up to access to the connector because there is no company service close to home and I don't want to send the laptop away for such a minor repair.

The laptop is a
Satellite 1900-305 P4 2.4GHz/512MB/30GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW/LAN/XP HE

Hi Martin,

I do not believe that Toshiba service manual available for download from any of their web sites, but I met copies on CD available on E - Bay from time to time.

I've never tried a so I can't say how accurate or reliable they are.

Kind regards

  • Is Satellite 1900 305 supports internal microphone

    Apologize in advance for what I'm afraid is a stupid question, but need a final answer before I spend more time investigating the potentially futile.

    Satellite 1900-305 has a built in microphone?

    I'm trying to get my friend (whose book it is) upward and running with Skype. See "sound and Audio" capacity/parameters in the control gives the 'impression' Panel is a built-in microphone, I was not able to get Skype or Microsoft Sound Recorder works, so suspect it is not. If this is the case, any suggestions for a cheap microphone and where to get a greatly appreciated.

    Running XP Home Edition SP2 and just downloaded latest version of Skype.
    Not sure about the audio drivers.
    In my view, there are some drivers available here as of June 2008, which I think are more recent than those currently installed and will gladly download and try if it has an internal microphone and the answers are that is what I have to do.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > Is the Satellite 1900 305 has a built in microphone?

    Satellite 1900 305 does not support the internal mic.
    This laptop supports the external microphone jack and you can connect an external microphone to this Jack to record an audio or use Skype.

  • Satellite 1900 305: screen is broken, freezing or white during use.

    Satellite 1900-305 I got now for almost four years has suddenly started having problems with the screen.
    Randomly the screen will freeze, or begin to break apart, what strange colors, or of the strips to the bottom of the screen, or fade slowly completely white. Sometimes when I restart, the screen is blank (no not even the Toshiba Logo) so I have to keep trying to restart as long as the screen starts to work again.
    I would say that this problem would happen in the first 10 minutes of starting up the machine. If it has not arrived within this period, it is fine for the rest of the day until the next time I turn it on.

    This means that the graphics card inside could start to fail?

    Hello

    Well, that's very strange question. Of course, in my opinion could be a malfunction of the graphics card, but also something wrong with the LCD display. But I can't give t you a good answer to this problem. In this case, the best way is to request the service of Toshiba for details.

  • Upgrade of RAM for Satellite 1900-603

    I want to go to 1 GB of RAM IE extra 512 MB on my laptop P4 Satellite 1900-603, I checked the (additive) manual and it says ' onboard two 200 pins + 2.5V DDR SO-DIMM sockets supporting RAM DDR memory modules. Upgrade 1 GB by two max modules of 512 MB memory.

    I couldn't find the part number on the Toshiba site, so I checked the website of Kingston, which gave me KTT3311/512 or KTT3614/512, I bought KTT3311/512 of this notice.

    Unfortunately, when I come to install the part the second slot is smaller than the original square. That is to say fewer pins.

    The RAM I bought is the part of the original square, but obviously does not fit in the spare slot.

    Could someone tell me what the part number is for the smaller RAM and why this information is not available on the Web from Toshiba website or in the manual, including the additive.

    Hello

    I ve downloaded the manual for Satellite 1900-603 PS192E series and he says the basic soecifications of the memory being used are:
    module SO-DIMM 144-pin
    SDRAM 3,3 volts
    PS-133 (PC - 100 is unusable)
    Capacity of 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB.

    But according to this page:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6051&ft=m&St=3

    the laptop must manage 200 pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM memory hmm very strange?  :|

  • Satellite 1900 305 battery, need the pinout numbers

    I wonder if anyone knows numbers pinout of the details of the connection of the battery from the battery used with the Satellite 1900 305

    Mine has not been used for a few months and the battery is completely flat and is not supported.

    I want to check battery volts and check that there volts at the terminals in the computer.

    Martin

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there isn't any info on battery pin out. These documents are available only for the Toshiba ASP.

    But the battery charging is controlled by a microprocessor to power supply which is mounted on the system board. Power of orders by microprocessor if the accusation is enabled or disabled and detects a full charge when the power adapter and the battery are connected to the computer. The system charges the battery in charging or trickle charge.
    Normal load (power) 8 hours or more
    Fast (power off) charge about 4 hours

    Fast battery charge:
    When the adapter is attached, there are two types of fast charging: charging when the system's power off and normal load when the system is turned on.

    However, if the following occurs, the battery charging process stops.

    1. the battery is fully charged.
    2. the power adaptor or the battery is removed.
    3. the output or battery voltage is abnormal.
    4. the temperature of the battery is abnormal.
    5. battery SMBus communication fails.
    6. the battery cell is bad.

    In your case, it is possible to s that the batteries are dead, and you need a new battery.

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1900 102

    Hi all

    I used to work with a Toshiba Satellite 1900 102 since July 2002 and March my hard drive has stopped working (maybe it was time).
    Where can I buy records 2.5 "that this series of satellites can be supported?

    What is the maximum capacity (in GB) laptop that recognizes the old man?

    Thanks for all your help!

    Hello

    2.5 hard drives can be bought anywhere I think then, either you contact an authorized service provider or you visit your favorite computer store.

    I think that the Satellite 1900 limits the 28-bit LBA. This would mean that the size of the HARD disk is limited to 128 GB. The maximum capacity is 120 GB that you can use, but I think that 80 GB would be enough according to your amount of files you want to save on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions please let us know! :)

  • Cannot find the BIOS for Satellite 1900-803

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba satalite s1900-303 (model number-ps192e-00g1n-en) and I'm not.
    I have somehow locked myself out of the laptop. I used to haver a password to use the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    Somehow the password has changed and that's why I can't use the laptop at all. I contacted toshiba store and theyu said to use a loopback serial cable to fix it somehow and he also mentioned in an attempt to crush the bios with a new.

    I would like to try this, but I can't find the Bios or drivers. I was wondering if someone can help me solve this problem please.

    PS: When regestering on the toshiba site I had to enter the serial number for the laptop.
    The model under my name says 1900-803 when the sticker on the laptop clearly said 1900-803

    Hello

    > I have somehow locked myself on the laptop. I put a password for the laptop. This password is not only for the bios, it is also necessary for the operation of the laptop.

    I think that you have set the BIOS password.
    Unfortunately, the BIOS password can be removed from the laptop if you n t know the old password.
    You can not remove also the BOS password by updating the BIOS. If you would try to update the BIOS while the password is set then the ROM module flashes not properly and you laptop will not boot! It s dangerous!

    Only Toshiba authorised service provider can remove the BIOS password. Ask the technicians!

  • XP display for Satellite 1900-102 driver

    Hello

    I'm looking for a display driver for my old Toshiba Satellite 1900 102.

    After Installing Win XP Pro, a generic driver for ATI Mobility Radeon was automatically installed, and it is not working properly.

    Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure.

    I'm trying to find it but it seems impossible to me.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    > Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure
    The problem is that a graphics driver has not been installed and the Win operating system uses own common Microsoft driver.

    To resolve this problem, you must install the graphics driver of the European driver Toshiba page.

    To find the page of the European driver follow this path;

    You have to search the ARCHIVES!

  • Need the latest graphic drivers for Satellite 1900 - 704

    Hi all.

    I just bought a Satellite 1900 704 from a friend who has updated. The problem I have right now is the graphics driver. I have the drivers and the computer works well. The computer is good enough to play related games like half-life 2 and World Of War craft. But when I run half-life 2, he told me that my graphic driver should be upgraded and it might not work properly.

    It still works, but when I play World of War craft the graphics are quite wrong and distorted and does not play. I downloaded the latest drivers from the Toshiba site but no luck. It's a GeForce 6800 Go. I tried the Nvidia site for drivers, but none are compatible.

    It would be great if someone hade any idea on what to do. Appreciate the help.

    / me

    Hi Robbin

    I had Satellite 1900 703 nearly two years and this unit is known to me. You're right about the performance of the laptop. The performance of the graphics are really good and I was also able to play several games but I had trouble with Far Cry. The graphics card was absolutely not powerful enough for him.

    I can tell you one: If you can play games more recent you will be lucky, but if you have some problems with graph there is not much to do. You must understand that this unit is old enough and you can't wait for graphics to force und fabulous graphics giving more than possible performance.

  • Advice on which new battery for Satellite 1900-803

    Hi all

    I am looking for a spare battery for my 1900-803 Satellite. The battery is PA3166U-1BRS, and when I get on a popular auction site I get a number of different opt, Li - ion:

    1:14, 8V
    Capacity: 6600mAh
    2: 14.80V
    Capacity: 6000mAh
    3: 14.80V
    Capacity: 5850mAh
    4:14, 8V
    Capacity: 4300mAh

    So who is the most appropriate? As I understand it, they are all compatible. I suppose that more 'mAh' best, is that correct? Price is not a problem, just performance!

    Thank you all very much!

    Pablo

    JohnnyS if you're out there you could make it three out of three for me!

    The battery that provides a higher mAh value is much better, because the performance is stronger and you can run much longer Notepad using these batteries.

    This is why I advise you to buy a battery that supports a capacity 6600mAh

  • Replacement of satellite 1900-305 CD R/W

    I want to replace the burner Toshiba SD - R2212 CD with DVD burner (I thought the NEC 6650a). A hunt on the web indicates that this laptop is waiting the optical drive to be a master on the second IDE channel. Is this correct?

    I also read (from a formal source of Toshiba) that all readers of Toshiba function as Cable Select by default, which seems incompatible with the first piece of information. Because I want to buy a player that works 'out of the box' can someone tell me how I can avoid the IDE #1 error I get if I don't buy a car with the good master/slave/cable select setting?

    Hi heel

    I have Satellite 1900-703. I have no information specific which drive will fit and work properly, but I just know that the 1950 series have DVD-R/RW drive. Maybe the same drive will work with the 1900 series.

    I use DVD very often and the best solution for me was external drive connected via a firewire port. Data transfer speed is very good, and on this way, I can use the newest and fastest DVD burner (also double layer). Before you search long for a good solution, I can just recommend you to do the same thing.

    On this path, there is no drive that can burn just some formats, but you can buy burner that supports all the formats available.

  • Extension of RAM for Satellite 1900 704

    Hej all

    I own a Satellite S1900-704 for years and I have a lot of luck with it with Debian Linux running.

    Last week, I've assembled a 160 GB Hitachi HDD which works very well. Now, I want to increase the RAM.
    The laptop is equipped with 2 pcs of 256 MB of RAM 512 total MB of course. I read that it is possible to set 2 pcs of 512 MB instead which would increase the total RAM of 1 GB. My question is: can I put in 2 pieces of 1 GB to 2 GB total? I can't find any confirmation for this...

    Thanks in advance!

    Boris

    > Can I put in 2 pieces of 1 GB 2 GB total.
    No, to my knowledge, this is not possible.
    The memory of the Satellite 1900 704 can evolve upward at 1024Mo max.
    In this case, you can use the memory 2 x 512MB max modules!

    I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and I found two different versions.
    There is a BIOS 1.80 and 2.10 BIOS. The two BIOS version are traditional BIOS.
    This means that the BIOS must be updated using the traditional procedure using a floppy disk
