Opportunities to upgrade HDD for Satellite L30-113

I hope someone can help me on this one. I was wondering what are the possibilities for the upgrade of the disk on a Satellite L30-113. As the largest size of support etc. Or even if it's possible (I don't know much when it comes to upgrading laptops).

If it is possible to upgrade to a larger size HARD drive what should be and what would be the process to upgrade as well as if there is a limit on the maximum size, etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Each laptop BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore, you can only use a HARD drive formats supported.

I used the L30 for a long time and to my knowledge, you could use the 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB hard drives for sure. Perhaps that the 100 GB HARD drive might work but I m not 100% sure and can not recommend this size of HARD drive.

However, these hard drives must be compatible:
Toshiba 40 GB - MK4032GSX
60 GB - MK6034GSX
80GB - MK8032GSX

  • Need driver sound WXP for Satellite L30-113

    Hi all

    I m installing WXP SP3 on Toshiba L30-113 but I can't find audio driver for Windows XP Home edition.
    I don't have driver for Vista, but for Windows XP Home edition.

    Can someone help me to find audio driver for Toshiba Satellite L30-113 please?

    After reviewing your last assignment, this means that you have found the audio driver Windows XP Home edition? It is available on the Toshiba support page and it's Realtek driver 5.10.0.5273 version.

    The question is the feature under SP3. You have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition or do you simply upgrade from SP2 to SP3?

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite L30-134

    I have a Satellite L30-134, which seems to work pretty slowly - I think that due to the large amount of photos and music from itunes.

    I wonder which is the best way to solve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change memory well) or get an external hard drive?
    And if I change the memory I'll lose what is already saved on the laptop?

    I agree with Ganz most HARD drive will not improve performance but increase the disk space available HARD, it would be you can store more music and picture on HARD drive ;) files

    Upgrade memory also would not provide a performance gain of course performance could be a little better because most of the things would be handled directly in memory and not in time on the HARD drive, but generally it s not really noticeable.

    In any case if you want to improve memory, check this:

  • Need older version of Bios for Satellite L30-113 PSL33E

    Hello

    Can someone please provide me with an older version of bios for my laptop (L30-113 a.k.a PSL33E).
    Now I recently upgarded to version 3.10 of the toshiba site and now my laptop seems to generate a lot more heat than before. Also some of my USB ports stopped working properly. The version that I was before was 3.00 I think or something like that.
    Also, look what I ve found:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=L30_BIOS_UPDATE _ 02132008.

    This is not because it is exactly the version 3.10 causes overheating. The thing is that I could not find a previous version of this BIOS so I'm asking you guys to help me.

    Thanks in advance!

    When the latest version is available that can not be downloaded more.
    I think that the old version, you can get to the authorized service provider. I checked several Toshiba support page but without success.
    Sorry, but I see no other way to get the old version of the BIOS.

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite L30-101

    Is it possible to upgrade my processor from a 1.44 to what higher?

    No, there is no way because:

    -It s too expensive
    -It s complicated Exchange when you´re no technician for laptop
    -you won´t win any show (especially when the performance vs price comparison)

    Instead update your RAM and your HARD drive since that these components are comp. evolutionary and better will give you better performance.

  • Which is the latest version of BIOS for Satellite L30-113 (PSL 33)?

    Hello world

    Could someone please tell me which is the version letest BIOS for my laptop because I have never upgarde it?
    Also, how to install it and how to check what is my bios version now?
    Thanks in advance

    First update the BIOS is unnecessary if your laptop computer is operating properly.

    But back to your questions;
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find all the drivers available, as well as the newest BIOS available. At the moment, it seems to be a version of 3, 10 - WIN

    How to know the version of the BIOS?
    It's very simple, you need to access the BIOS, and then you could see the version of the BIOS.
    To access the BIOS press F2 immediately after laptop was launched.

  • Disassembly of the specifications for the Satellite L30-113?

    Hello

    where can I find the complete specifications on how to disassemble toshiba satellite L30-113? !!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Disassembly of the laptop is not easy and should be done only if you have a technical background.
    The risks are too high you might damage something on the map. You know, the motherboard is the most expensive part of the laptop.

    But don t worry buddy, I cleaned my laptop fans without removing anything.

  • Transmision very slow Satellite L30 - 113 (33rd PSL) LAN file

    Hello world!

    After upgrading OS from Vista to XP pro work LAN Ethernet very slow (transfer of files of 100 MB, 2 hours).

    XP-drivers downloaded from toshiba - Europe.com, for model Satellite L30-113 PCL33.

    Maybe I should applay patches?
    Also I can't use the PC card slot...

    Hello

    The transfer of data should be the same under Vista and XP.
    I think that you have installed an antivirus that scans all files during data transmission.

    Please disable it!

    By the way;
    If you notice a slow, data transfer Windows Vista try disabling Remote Differential Compression
    To do:
    -Start-> Control Panel-> programs and features
    -Click on Turn windows features on the left side of the screen on or off
    -Off remote differential compression

  • Satellite L30 - 113 memory problem

    I have a Satellite L30-113 that does not have the right
    size of the memory.

    The system was shipped with 512 MB and 1 GB extra, I installed
    Stick, but for some reason any windows reports only 896 MB installed and graphics card
    use 128 MB. The BIOS also pointed out that only 896 MB of ram is installed.

    When I run the system information for windows it only detects 1 GB module
    Although if I remove a memory module and have either 512 MB or 1 GB installed
    It works very well.

    I also installed the latest version of the BIOS and does not seam to
    have had no effect.

    Also the two sticks of memory were tested in another laptop, so I know that both work.

    Are there problems with the mixture of sizes of memory in these laptops or to memory
    Poles should be assorted sizes?

    The operating system is Windows XP Pro

    I agree with Abe. I noticed a few comments about it in the forum, and it seems that the Satellite L30 should be upgraded with exactly the same modules.
    I mean that the modules must support the same speed (MHz), the same manufacturer and so on

    For me it s clear that other computers are able to manage these modules, but it seems as the can-do that L30!

  • Satellite L30-113 - cannot burn CDs or DVDs

    I have a Satellite L30-113. Recently my driver failed for my dvd player, until I was able to install a few things and burn CDs and DVDs. Now, I can't record CDs or DVDs.

    Nero and CDBurnerXP for CD/DVD ROM say 'cannot continue burning process as you did not choose the device for recording. CD/DVD ROM propities shows that it does not support recording CDs and DVDs.

    I uninstalled the driver and restarted my computer and it reinstalled the same as that which does not once again. I am a driver update search and xp tells me that the driver is up-to-date. I checked the Toshiba updates with none of these updates for CD/DVD ROM.
    I have no idea on how to fix this unit "corrupted".

    Hi mate,

    I had a similar problem on my Toshiba laptop. So here, I searched a little bin forum and I founded to delete upper and lower filters in the registry. I followed the instructions in this Microsoft article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    After that, I again was able to burn DVDs.

    In addition, updated driver from CD/DVD isn't necessary because this driver is part of the operating system.

  • Satellite L30-113 - no sound after the downgrade from Vista to XP

    Hello to everyone.
    I recently bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L30-113
    with vista preintalled.

    As many users around the vista of the world seemed very slow for me so I decided to go back to Windows XP Pro.
    The problem is that I can't hear any sound in my laptop.
    In fact I found some drivers for Realtek controller High definition audio
    but they have nothing did.

    I give the floor to toshiba in Greece and they told me that this laptop is designed only for windows vista!
    Can this be true?
    Help, please

    Hello

    In my eyes, you have misunderstood something. Of course, that the laptop can handle Windows XP and it should work correctly, but as you say the device was shipped with Vista and so the guys at Toshiba support don't provide any support for WinXP on this laptop.

    As far as I know page driver Toshiba also provide drivers for win XP. Therefore, visit European driver of Toshiba page and choose the good laptop-> PSL33 Sat L30-113

    You will find a driver 5.10.0.5273 version XP. This should work!

    Have a nice day ;)

  • Question about video memory on Satellite L30-113

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-113 and I managed to install a driver (I am learning how to in this forum, thx) for the video card, which allows me to change the size of the memory, what video card can be used. Configure the size of the (UMA) memory of 256 MB (including 128) properties, then in the properties of that memory for the graphics card is display 512?

    My question is that the size 512 memory is real? Video card really use this amount of memory or is unreal? If so is it better to go back to 128 (then in properties is 256), not to waste this memory for nothing.

    I know the les specifications specifications from the manufacturer, said 'max 256 memory hyper', but my question again: why in the properties I have the memory size: 512 MB?

    Thank you in advance, best regards.

    No, 512 MB is not true. The maximum size of video memory is 256 MB, but I do not know why your system shows 512 MB. If you set the video memory up to 256 MB performance will be no higher. Do not waste this memory to change anything back to 128 MB.

  • Satellite L30-113 does not recognize the two modules DIMM RAM

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L30 113.
    It has 512 MB of RAM and therefore struggled to run Windows Vista, so I bought another 1 GB of RAM.
    It's DDR2 553 MHZ (PC4200.

    The problem I have is that the laptop does not recognize both DIMMs, i.e. the old 512 MB and the new 1 GB when they are in the whole PC. I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB. I tried the DIMMs around two ways but without success.

    Did I miss something?
    They should be the same size as in the bad old days?
    What is going on?

    Thank you

    Adam

    > I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB
    Seems that the two RAM modules are not completely compatible...
    I've read several times on these issues and to be honest it s are not uncommon

    I advise you to buy two identical RAM modules ad then to try again

    I'm afraid there is no other solution for your problem of m.

    Hello

    I had a similar problem on my computer but was able to fix it.
    I took my CD of Win XP and started the repair console.

    Then I used the command Chkdsk and scanned and repair files and sectors on the HARD disk.
    Then I used the Fixboot command. He writes a new boot sector on the system partition.
    Finally used Fixmbr command that repairs the boot partition's master boot code.
