• Need advice on the Satellite Pro M40

  I wonder if someone could advise me. We just bought 8 smart tips for our school with these I ordered 8 portable computers SatProM40. When I ordered them I checked the spec as follows

  Toshiba SatProM40 - Celeron M360 1.4 GHz - RAM 256 MB - HD 40 GB-CD RW/DVD-ROM combo - Mdm - Lan EN - FAST EN - Win XP Pro - 15.4 "TFT.

  I checked before I ordered that the RAM was 256 because I had heard that it is the minimum recommended to switch to XP.

  Laptops take almost 5 minutes to turn on and everything takes an age to work it's really frustrating and they are totally useless for our school because the entire lesson is included with get the computers to run anything.

  I checked the system information and found laptops were running of 192 MB RAM and rang the provider. I was told that they used 64 MB for the graphics card and that's why they had provided a RAM of 256 MB computer.

  My question to someone who can help:-c' is a normal practice. If I had known this I would have ordered a laptop computer with more RAM to compensate.

  He would welcome any advice that would help us get our children working on their new computers. Thank you.

  Hi Lisa

  In my view, Satellite Pro M40 is nice unit for school work, but I agree with you really is 256 MB minimum RAM and I recommend you buy more 256 MB or 512 MB, depending on your budget.

  The compatible RAM modules are:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 2M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 2M 51)

  Problem is that this device uses shared memory and that means that RAM will be used also for graphic designers. If there is someone who has a good knowledge of PC that they check all running processes. Many of them are unnecessary and can be disabled. I also noticed that preinstalled Antivir asks (Norton) slow OS quickly. If all units are not connected to the internet I recommend you to remove it.
  By the way: there are many applications of good antivir which works well and don't slow down the operating system currently running.

  Good luck!

  Hello.
  Good time of day.

  I try install asp linux on my laptop. To configure X Windows I have to configure horizontal and vertical refresh of the screen (Toshiba TruBrite WXGA TFT).
  Any ideas how I can find these values?

  With respect and graditude, Raven.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I found that the information the Satellite A100-474, which belongs to the PSAA9E series has been delivered with the 15.4 screen "and max. 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution.
  As far as I know it is developed by Samsung and it is a part number: LTN154X3-L06-H0A.

  Did you look in the user manual? I think that the manual provides some useful information under Schedule A; Technical characteristics.
  It should be for information about the video modes as the resolution of the CRT screen, color depth (bpp), and refresh rate (hz).

• Fan on the Satellite A100-225

  Two years ago in may, I bought the Satellite A100-225. I have always noticed that it got very warm, but a few months ago it was not a problem. However, a few months ago, it began to overheat during execution of the tasks of joel, but I never thought much about it.

  Then, one a few weeks ago I started my computer to realize that the fan was now only turns not at all, and I have no idea why. I tried to install a new update of the BIOS and check if there is any debris stuck. You can still use it, but only for short periods. However, today when I was about to stop because it was too hot, the fan went on for 3 seconds, then it turns of. He the did not once again even if I leave it at the same temperature.

  I have to buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed.

  Can someone offer me some advice please?

  > Should I buy a new fan? My father and I have been looking for one that adapts, but so far we have succumbed

  I think you should first clean the front fan start you away from stocks
  Dust and debris inside the laptop could prevent fans turn with maximum performance and this could lead to a higher temperature.

  A use of the spray of compressed air could get rid of the dust and could help with this problem
  But if it doesn t help you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance.
  Guys could check the laptop and could eventually replace the fans.

  The big problem is that the laptop disassembly procedure is very delicate and risky.
  So these replacements should be made only by a technician for laptop.

  Bye and greetings

• Blue screen with DVB - T USB TV tuner comes with the Satellite A100-165

  Hi all

  I have the Satellite A100-165 with PX1211E - 1TVD USB DVB - T TV tuner (TV savvy). I think the installation is OK because I can watch TV on my PC!

  But occasionally PC reboot with blue screen! :-((Je pense qu'il lorsque le niveau dele de signal TV est inférieur)
  I update the driver warned with the version I found on the Web from Toshiba site: savvytv-udvbtt - 10180629.zip
  But it's always the same!
  You have an idea about this problem?
  I can agree to have a bad display when the signal quality is lower, but it is very annoying to often have a blue screen and PC reboot!

  Thank you in advance on your help
  Best regards

  Hello

  I think that this can be corrected with the latest display driver. Please visit the Toshiba download page and install it.

  If the problem is fixed, please write again.

• Impossible to get PRTSCR DEL + keys to work on the Satellite A100

  I have the Satellite A100 - 232 PSAA2E. Bought in Greece... If some of the keys have a second role - for Greek letters. Especially not a problem.

  However... I can't get led (top-right) to work and same (3buttons on the left led) the print. Is there a setting to change or is there another way to remove and print screen?

  Your ad is somewhat confusing. Satellite A100 is pretty old laptop so I do not understand how you have this problem now.

  Everything was ok in the past?

  As far as I know you can change the keyboard input language, but this has nothing to do with DEL or PRINT key features.

• Update on the Satellite A100 HDD

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 (PSAA9A-0CU004), which came with a 80 GB hard drive.
  Anyone know the max HDD capacity this notebook can handle, as I want to upgrade to a larger disk.

  Thank you

  On the SATA interface, there is no capacity limit you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface, what you want.
  The new HARD disk must have SATA and 2.5.
