• Portege 7200 does not recognize external memory

  I downloaded Windows XP on my 7200 Portege (with 256 MB external memory) and it worked fine. All of a sudden it started overheating and has been extremely slow. I reformatted the drive, downloaded XP again and it seems to work well, although slowly;

  However, he refuses to acknowledge the external memory and seems to work with internal memory of 64 MB only.
  Is this a problem of port external memory (hardware) or I can do something to fix this?

  Hello

  You suggested also that the laptop started to overheat.
  As far as I know it is possible that the cooling modules cannot cool the CPU and then the CPU does not work with maximum efficiency.
  You should check you cooling grids for dust and debris.
  You can try to use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. But be careful.

  The second possibility is a dysfunction of memory modules.
  Try to test with another.

• Portege 7200 - HARD drive upgrade

  I have a Portege 7200. It was just given to me. There is therefore no documentation or manuals.
  I'm interested in upgrading his old 4 GB HARD drive to something more modern. Can someone tell me what could be done to it? I mean - if standard 2.5 "HDD is Ok, is there a limitation of the motherboard/BIOS card as to the maximum size, etc.. ?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page;
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/home.do?service=EU&from=http%3A//www.Toshiba-Europe.com/

  Here, you should go to support downloads & -> user manual for Toshiba.
  In the upload form, you must choose;
  Archive-> Portege Archive-> Portege 7xxx--> Portege 7200

  Maybe you will find some info in the user manual.

  But I want to provide some details too.
  To my knowledge, several versions of BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. I mean that not every size of HARD drive is supported.
  I have goggled a bit and discovered that the Toshiba MK1214GAP HARD drive can be used with the Portege 7200. It s a 12 GB HARD drive that supports ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4 interface.

  Maybe you could test it.

• Portege 7200 - HDD replacement/upgrade

  I want to upgrade my Portege 7200 with the standard 12 GB of HDD to a 60Gb, my questions are:-
  1. do I have updated BIOS?
  2 Will fit a standard 2.5 notebook HARD disk drive 9.5 mm inches (for example 60 GB 2.5 "IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 7 K 60 ATA100 7200 RPM, 8 MB)
  3. is special caddies or cable required.
  4. someone at - it instructions or is simple.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hello.

  regarding your first question:
  BIOS update is useful, but I don't know how much GB the most recent BIOS for P7200 can handle! Try a test!
  2. normally a 2.5 inch HDD fit. I don't know who the old we have size, but you can compare it with the OE ew!
  3. no
  4. normally the change of HARD drive is not difficult. The problem is "the BIOS detects the new HARD drive and the right size." But this only experience could help you!

• Update CPU Portege 7200 is available?

  Hello Toshiba-community!

  I have a Toshiba Portege 7200 with the following configuration:

  -P3 600 MHz
  -320 MB OF RAM
  -12 GB HARD DRIVE

  However, the laptop works well, but the processor is pretty slow.

  So I tried _upgrade CPU_ with a faster P3.

  My questions are:
  Is this possible?
  What are the requirements?

  A lot, I searched the internet but I have not found a solution for this issue.

  Do you have a? :-)

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Usually these improvements are not easy, and in most cases to possible and undesirable.

  In most cases the different CPU can result in problems with the BIOS.
  In addition, the higher CPU speed would produce more heat dissipation that could lead to overheating.

  That is why it s not advisable to upgrade the processor

  Hello

  Portege 3440 supports 64 MB internal memory and this memory cannot be deleted.
  As a location is available.

  As far as I know Toshiba recommends to use these modules for an upgrade:

  * SDRAM 64 MB (PA3033U - 1 M 06). *
  * SDRAM 128 MB (PA3034U - 1 M 12) *.

  I think you could google for these simple figures and you should get a photo or any need for details on these modules

• Re: Need technical information about the CD/DVD with Portege 7200 series writer

  Hello
  just to clarify my last post should have read: CD and DVD rw burner compatible with the laptop above.

  all the best john.

  The Portege 7200 cannot be upgraded with a CD/DVD burner (drive).
  You can buy a dock like [this one | 5QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.ca/Slim-TOSHIBA-Portege-7200-Dockstation-Built-in-DVD-CDRW_W0QQitemZ170200420841QQihZ007QQcategoryZ14008] which provides a feature of CD/DVD drive!

  I m not 100% sure if this docking station can be improved with a CD/DVD burner, but you can try to contact the ASP in your country for details.
  Guys might provide information whether or not this player is available!

• Can Portege 7200 CT - I install Windows Xp instead of Windows 2000?

  Hello

  I have an old Portege 7200, Pentium III, 600 MHZ, RAM 320Mo.

  I use Windows 2000, remains stable and running (you know, never touch a system running...)

  However, due to new software that will work with Windows 2000 (Internet Explorer, anti-virus, software video / Cam and a little more) I need an OS-update. I have an old Windows XP-license (SP 2) and the idea of installing WinXP on this laptop.

  The power system should be fine, however, I've not found anyone with WinXP on this laptop. Someone at - he live with that? It work? What I have to do a BIOS update? I have version 1.80 and found here in the care of the side a 2.0 zip file

  Thanks a lot in advance - Andreas

  Hi Andreas,

  Theoretically, you can install what you want on your laptop but I checked the Web from Toshiba site and it seems there are no XP driver for Portege 7200.
  What does that mean? Well, you can install XP but if you the drivers you need to collect these external Web sites, such as Intel or Realtek drivers. Maybe you will find all the drivers that you need.

  In my opinion the update of the BIOS should be one if it of necessary. This means that if the laptop works well, this update isn't necessary.

  I hope I could help a bit. :)

• Problem starting Portege 7200 - stops running and the light flashes

  I have a portege 7200 with the docker dock 2 dvd, no problems until this weekend, when it stopped starting.

  its plugged into the power outlet and it starts the first windows 98 after the screen time, works my virus checker then the screen goes black, computer stops and the led on flashes.

  ive tried to boot from a CD, using the battery, reinstall windows, all I can think about

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  Have you tried to run the notebook without the docking station?
  If this isn't the case, then try it.
  Also, try to remove the battery for a while. Then try to start the unit only with the power adapter.

  But generally, if the LED flashes then this means that there is a hardware malfunction.
  The flash code can only be read by the authorized service partner. Guys are able to find the hardware failure.
  Well well, in this case, if the procedures described above don? help I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.

  Good luck
