Need new BIOS for Satellite A30 - 404 to upgrade to a larger HARD drive

I want to install a new (larger) disk on my Satellite A30-404.
He says have Bios version 1.80.
I probably need more recent (since it was purchased in 2003).

Y at - it a newer version for this machine?

Hello

Latest BIOS version can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
Currently, the version of the BIOS 1.80 is available and published for the Satellite A30 PSA30E.

By the way; a more recent BIOS will not help to use a bigger HDD!
The point is that your laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
Since the ATA-5 interface supports the 28-bit LBA addresses you should be possible to use Max 128 GB OF HARD DRIVE. I think that this is the maximum size, which is possible.

    Hello

    I found some info on the HDD on Satellite P10:

    It can be used a 2.5 ", 9.5 mm hard disk with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB

    -Master - IDE bus
    -9.5 mm, 2.5 HARD drive carrier
    -Support synchronous Ultra DMA 100

    So for your laptop you can buy IDE HDD up to 80 GB of capacity.

    I think you can buy it everywhere. In PC Magazine, online electronic store, eBay...

  • Can't find an updated BIOS for Satellite A30

    Hi friends.
    I'm not found Toshiba A30-203 a new BIOS update.
    I want to install windows vista but this sccren error.
    Error message:
    "A computer has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you2ve seen this Stop error screen restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI-compatible. Please contact your system provider for an updated BIOS. »

    to apologize for my bad English.

    Hello

    It seems that the Satellite A30 series is a series that was shipped with the BIOS to no support for Vista.
    I think that it should be possible to install Vista after a update of the BIOS.

    But know that you will ask for the new version of the BIOS. Am I wrong? ;)

    Well, on the page of the Toshiba BIOS, you should find different versions of BIOS.
    It is very important that you check the more info option you will resume the BIOS updated. You will find information on the compatibility of the BIOS (not every version is compatible with all units).

    But as you know that Vista is not official on the market. As I remember, it should be possible to buy the operating system in January 2007.
    I think Toshiba will present a new version of BIOS for Vista in next time. So I hope ;)

  • Need new screen for Satellite A85: laptop that has the same screen 15 ''?

    Looking for a new screen for this laptop and I was wondering what laptops use the same screen or the screen that fits?

    Fit the toshiba a30 screen? or should it be a 15 xga screen? There is a standard 30? will also be an adjustment of lcd a60? and if it would be an a60 housing also correspond to the screen? help please?

    required screen really, just need standard tft works ok?

    Hello

    Satellite A85 is unknown to me but to my knowledge the A30 has been delivered in different views:
    15.0 inch, screen SXGA 1400 × 1050 pixels.
    15.0 inch XGA, 1024 × 768 screen pixels

    I think that this view could be compatible with the A85, but maybe the display resolution is a little different.

  • Need old Bios for Satellite M70 181

    Hello

    > Does anyone know where I can get old Versions of BIOS (operating system independent) for my Satellite M70 - 181 (PSM70)?
    I m afraid you won't find older BIOS versions for download on the pages of Toshiba I have found that the latest versions of BIOS.

    If you want you could contact the partner of service allowed in your country and ask if it of possible to get older versions of BIOS

    But look, man. I doubt that an older BIOS would support or contains a few additional options or settings that are not available in the latest BIOS.

  • Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

    C50-A-1E0 Satellite Pro to my son is gone completely t * ts up. I think it's a common fault and requires a reset of the bios, or something. I think in any case that a new motherboard will do the trick.

    No help on the motherboard to get which is compatible and it would actually help?

    Thank you.

    Hi nessie

    It is not easy to find the new motherboard and believe me it's quite expensive, you can buy the new notebook.

    What you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to get the new motherboard for you.

    Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  • Need new battery for Satellite Pro U200-182

    Hello

    I m needing help on the purchase of new battery for Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 - 182
    No model origin. what I found on old battrey is PA3356U - 3BRS with parameters: DC10.8V - 4700mAh

    When I tried searching on the web I found that this trick
    http://smart-parts.NET/bsearch.php?brand=Toshiba&name=satellite%20PRO&SER ie = U200% 20Black & model = U200-182

    I would like to ask if I can buy it (if this battery will be compatible) and also if its possible to buy the battery longer "life."

    Thank you for the help

    I found the info that for your laptop model there are two types of battery only:
    PA3356U-3BAS
    PA3356U-3BRS

    So if you use Google and put these numbers, you should be able to find an online store where you can buy these compatible batteries.
    By the way: link you posted is OK and I don't see the reason why you shouldn't order of it. It is listed as compatible.

    To extend the life, you need battery with more cells and ability, but it is unfortunately not available for your laptop model.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite A10

    Hello.

    As my A10 satellite hard drive had a lot of problems lately, I bought a new drive. However, when I turn on the labtop, it freezes just on the screen "select boot device". I'm not still able to enter the BIOS. I can hear the disc upward rotation, but there is no reading of it.

    The old drive was a 4200 RPM, 2 ATA-100 MB disk Toshiba while the new is a Seagate Momentus 5400.2 with 5400 RPM / MN and 8 MB cache. Anyone aware of the A10 is having problems with the new disks, or someone has a suggestion for what I should try?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    How have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    Have you tried to install the OS on the new HARD drive?

    I think that the laptop does not freeze, but the BIOS can not find a boot device.
    You must insert the Toshiba Recovery CD and must try to boot from this CD.
    If you cannot select the STRANGE as boot device in the BIOS you could simply press the C button immediately after you start the laptop.
    This option allows booting from the CD/DVD drive.

    Googling around you can find a lot of online stores where you can order the new screen for your laptop satellite.
    Here are some of them:

    I hope that you will find the best price for you.
    If you need perhaps a few other components, you should contact Toshiba service and ask if you can get them.
