  This is an adapter.

  3. the quantity of RAM max supported Satellite L500D? I installed 2GB and I have an extra plug and I want to install a single 4 GB RAM and 6 GB RAM total

  Its sounds good to you this idea? I thank you and have a nice day

  Hey,.

  As you can see on the underside of the laptop doesn t supports a second HDD because there is no second Bay HARD drive on the underside.
  The map you posted is unofficial so no one can say whether it compatible s part or not. For laptops Satellite AFAIK there is no CD/DVD Bay adapter, but you can ask a provider of service authorized for more details.

  The maximum RAM capacity depends on your phone model correct. L500D was delivered with different hardware, so you must post your exact model laptop number.

• Portege M400 - BIOS password boot activated by accident!

  I just installed Windows 7 in my Portege M400-104.

  It worked perfectly, but in the last restart, after installing all the drivers and software, and the configuration of my fingerprints, all of a sudden the computer request a password to start! I never entered any BIOS password or I run the help password utility.

  I never used these passwords so I guess it's some defect, one who was accidentally activated by one of the tools I have configured (perhaps?), but I don't know what it is!

  Can someone tell me what default password is possible or how to remove it? (without sending the phone to a service tech).

  Thank you

  Thanks for the comments!

• Portege M400: Is it possible to upgrade processor

  Hi all :)

  I have a Portege M400 with a T2300 and I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor, a
  If so, what CPU are compatible and with what version of bios?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Usually the upgrade CPU or replacement on laptops is not possible or very difficult and risky. It could be possible that the laptop does not start or will not work stable after upgrading the CPU. The overheating could be one of the biggest problems!

  So, really, I do not recommend upgrading the processor! It s not worth risking damage only to get a small increase in CPU performance.

  But if you want to know which processor is supported by the chipset then the following ;)

  The M400 computer is equipped with a processor Intel Core Duo or Intel Core Solo processor. These processors include a mathematical coprocessor, a 2 MB L2 cache.

  The M400 comes with one of the following speeds:

  _Intel core Duo Processor_
  -1.66 GHz (processor number: T2300)
  -1.83 GHz (processor number: T2400)
  -2.00 GHz (processor number: T2500)
  -2.16 GHz (processor number: T2600)

  _Intel core Solo Processor_
  -1.66 GHz (processor number: T1300)

  I hope I could help!

  Greetings and soon my friend :)

• HP 15-AC053TX: 15-AC053TX of HP linux dual boot and RAM upgrade question

  Hello

  I want to buy HP laptop computer 15-AC053TX for VMS running on the science of data/data. I have the following questions

  (1) will require computer support dual-boot Linux OS like Ubuntu and CentOS 64-bit?

  (2) can I upgrade RAM 16 GB? Can I pre-order with a configuration upgrade or should I upgrade later through Service to the HP customer care?

  All entries will be appreciated.

  Thank you

  It has 8 gigs in a single module, so all you have to do is add another module of 8 GB to 16. This particular model is a specific configuration and HP do not at this level off the coast of this issue of model, but you can order the same thing as a custom to order and get 16 gigs. If not upgrade memory isn't too hard on that one, and the upgrade, it'll be cheaper.

  See p. 46 here:

  Repair manuals

  Manual specifications say it tops out at 8 gigs, but this has been proven incorrect and tackling the 16 concerts if you put two x 8 concert DDR3L-1600 modules.

  Yes, you can dual boot a modern Linux distribution. Ubuntu 64 bit 15.04 and 15.10 will work off UEFI and Secure Boot for example and allow you to install right next to Windows 10 using the grub bootloader to choose your operating system at startup.

• How to remove the hard drive on a Portege M400-170 password?

  Hello

  I read a lot of things in this forum, in the manual, I even phoned the Toshiba support and I still have no answer to my problem.

  During the first use of the PC, I set a hard drive password. Now, I want to remove this password.
  The user manual and the forum advise to open the bios configuration, under windows, which is supposed to offer the ability to edit and delete the password. No options, no ability to edit or delete the password.

  The helpline tell me that if the configuration of the bios under windows does not have the ability to modify or delete the password, I have no way to do it (!).

  I need your knowledge and your help :)

  Thank you in advance.

• Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions

  Hello

  I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.

  (1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.

  (2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.

  Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA

  Chipset: AMD A70M FCH

  CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10

  Thank you!

  It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

I think I have a Seagate 1 TB 2.5 inch notebook computer Solid State Hybrid Drive. Will be of this form and it works without any problem on this laptop? What is a recommended option?

  Kind regards

  Hi @Chris_8318,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6500 Entertainment of CTO Notebook and concerns with the installation of a hard drive again. If you keep the new larger than your original SSD and it supports Sata 5400 RPM 9.5 mm, 2.5-inch hard drives, you'll have no problems.

  Here is a link to your manual page 23 for specifications.

  Please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you.

• Portege M400 - BIOS password of change within the OS without knowing password?

  Hi all

  I hope I can get help / advice from someone with more experience with the M400 if possible?

  I reinstalled the operating system and the configuration of the biometric security for me, which worked perfectly! However foolishly I also configure startup security (password of BIOS). So when the Tablet is on I can scan my finger and participate without any problem, but now I want to disable the start security. So I booted into the operating system and went to turn it off... but it asks for my password... I forgot that I was a typical end user and have only used my bloody finger!

  Anyone know if I can disable BIOS security while in the operating system using security biomentric rather than enter a password? I tried simply by changing the password of admin in the victory of the BONES, but it does not... any ideas?

  Any help greatly appreciated!

  See you soon

  > So I booted into the operating system and went to turn it off... but it asks for my password... I forgot that I was a typical end user and have only used my bloody finger!

  You intervene on password of BIOS that you set in the BIOS?
  AFAIK you cannot remove the BIOS password if you know n t the old BIOS password.
  In this case that only the Toshiba ASP could help you just the ASP from Toshiba technician could remove unknown BIOS password

• HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

  Hi kiranmanju

  After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

  SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

  There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
  (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
  (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
  (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

  Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

  but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

  Thank you

• PERC S300 RAID10 Drive upgrade Question

  I currently have 4x250GB HARD drives in a PERC S300 on a PE T110.  It works fine but I really want to upgrade to SSD because they are becoming so cheap.  However, when I was in RAID5, it requires that any replacement of disks are of equal size or greater, even if the actual volume was a fraction of the available space.  Is this the same requirement on the S300 for RAID10?

  Yes, it's necessary. In addition, you cannot mix SAS and SATA and SSD, SATA or SAS, SSD, so you will need to do a backup/restore of your SSD barrette.

  Hi dude

  You are looking at the wrong Web site Toshiba driver.
  You posted links to the Toshiba USA support page.

  Laptop Portege PT131V Z10t-A140-00H005AR is out on the market of the Middle East, but you must perform a search on [page driver Toshiba UE | http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU] where you would find your model Portege A140 - Z10t PT131V.

  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the latest version of the BIOS exactly for this model of PT131V

• HP Pavilion DV6235 (US): HP Pavilion DV6235 (US) hard drive upgrade Question...

  
  

  Should not a problem. You need to do some kind of recovery or backup support to put the software on the new drive, but if not just physically put in the place where the old hard disk, boot and install your software for it.

  Looks like a lot of investment in very old hardware. Still, it should make it faster.

• Portege M400 - new HARD drive retains the old HARD drive password?

  I have a Portege M400 and I want to move my current hard drive with a new one.
  My current hard drive is password protected (I know the password).
  My questions are:

  If I switch to a new hard drive, a new retains the old password or not?

  Can I use the old drive with an external enclosure as an external drive, or it is impossible?

  I already tried to delete the password for hard drive with the methods presented on this forum by going into the BIOS, but version 3.8 has no option to remove the HDD password and I think that it is impossible to remove it.

  Please answer only if you have experience in cases like this, I don't want to spend money on the new hard drive and not be able to use as primary.

  Hey Buddy

  Please check this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141590

  You can remove the HDD password (if it s you known) in the BIOS.
  In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password. If you do want to set the new password, and then press "Enter".

  See you soon
