• NetBook HP 5101 and Intel 5350 or 5150 WiMax/WiFi

  Will be the feature of an Intel 5350 WiMax or WiMax/WiFi 5150 mini PCIe card work in a netbook HP 5101?

  Can anyone recommend a source in the United States other than ebay/unauthorized of 5350 Intel or Intel 5150?

  I'm considering buying a HP 5101 using Clear WiMax service.

  Here's what I've found so far.

  The 5101 has two expansion slots; used for a Wifi card and one for an map WWAN broadband. Judging by the illustration in the maintenance manual, the Wifi card is installed in a mini PCIe interface with room for only one PCIe Mini Card half form factor and the map broadband is installed in an interface mini PCIe with room for a form factor PCIe Mini full-size.

  Repair strives to mention that Wifi and WWAN cards are not interchangeable.  Does anyone know if the slot used for the WWAN card's owner instead of a PCIe Mini interface? Or is the warning related to antennas pre-wired? Again, judging by the repair, the HP Mini 5101 has two antennas for the WWAN card slot and two antennas for the location of WIFI card.

  Intel adapters using 3 antennas.

  The technical details of the Intel 5150 shows that it is made both full and half length PCIe Mini factors.

  The technical specifications of the Intel 5350 shows that it is available in only the full-length form factor PCIe Mini.

  I'm a technician of laptop repair for a long time.

  It's been my experience that when implementing (wimax/wifi intel 5150/5350/6250/6350 cards), those self (OF ALLOWS of SAY EBAY) you have the biggest obstacles single to overcome other than physical size (HEIGHT HALF/FULL / OTHER) of the embedded mini pci express card and possibly requiring a 3rd antenna during the upgrade of the wifi installed mfg in HP/Lenovo laptops It's a whitelist BIOS boot block.

  What is a bios bootblock, although HP argues that, in order to prevent end users to change their card wifi (Embedded), they installed firmware in the BIOS, start, seeking the hexadecimal id for the MFG cards identification / model and especially the seller (AKA cards brand), anyway in the BIOS, there is a short list of these identifiers for maybe the cards from 2 to 8 that HP has tested and approved to be used normally pre-installed in the laptop.

  Why though HP claims that the end user could if possible COULD change their wifi/wimax card to a higher version powered to another country or region and violating thus the design of the FCC approved on the laptop.

  Quite frankly HP in all likelihood very insidious alterior reasons, based on my previous experience, HP is very reluctant to support new technologies.

  As an example my HP DV8125NR laptop AMD X 64 processor was touted as 64 bit HP however he had a 32 bit operating system installed and no driver 64-bit available for a VERY LONG... IT OF TIME!

  I was obliged to get 64-bit drivers for a laptop ACER UK with the same chipset, which did not work until I opened the Device Manager and cut and pasted hp same chipset vendor new in the drivers of acer uk id so the drivers have recognized and installed by windows, to the best of my knowledge until I did that there was zero no where who had done to overcome the HP footdragging.

  WiMAX is available in 54 or more and and a constantly growing number of U.S. cities and HP is once again kicking and screaming like your child, on the way to the doctor to get an important and thereby losing millions of new mobile computer laptop/netbook/and other sales of device. Stupid as the village fool.

  At the present time, there is that one exception I know Best Buy is in partnership with Clear/wimax provider and from December 2010, they have Wimax 34 on sale in their stores and online.

  One and only model HP is Wimax enabled it's a DM4-1165DX, it's certainly very soft for someone who has good eyes and is just an intenet browser or grapics and/or an intensive user of processor.

  It's nice because it has a robust aluminium case is less than 5 lbs very thin / light / a about 5-7 hours of autonomy and of course preconfigured internal WIMAX 4 g

  HP makes me crazy it of like they don't want wimax of work related to one of their products in the home, if you look at the drivers for this laptop, they are listed as WLAN (extended lan) not Wimax bo a DRAW! HP Total Care seems to know their head from a hole in the ground when it comes to Wimax, PERIOD believe me I tried, what follows.

  OK I know that you want to buy a HP dv6 or dv7 select edition, with the housing in aluminium, I7 processor, blu-ray rom / rw supermulti lightscribe DVD, only 640 GB HDD at 7200 RPM, 8 GB ram, (either pre-installed internal tv or via express card adapter) gigabit lan and last not less 1 GB dedicated graphics oh and of course free Lojack 1 year to 4 years flight tracking data / remote deletion of data services.

  OK and especially not finally and especially a WIMAX/WIFI card pre-installed embedded well no matrix HP has none this option, 2 options are 1) wifi abgn nd) 2 for $25 more wifi abgn with bluetooth.

  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  HOW STUPID IS THAT????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  OK, I will admit there is a very slight slight possibility that wimax cards intel are not compatible with the combos of moterboard intel chipset processor used in the DV6/7/8 series, however I see many laptops from Toshiba who have mothers similar I think a m55 with Wimax chipset?

  I want a HP for the offered lojack, which is enhanced by the presence of a map of wimax integrated to transmit its location constantly If stolen when it is powered either, and some of the best pricing offers on laptop key from 500 to 750 GB edge i7/bluray 1 GB / 8 GB.

  I made more than 50 calls to Hp and they are obviously not embrace Wimax and obstructs even its use and implementation on 99.999% of accounts, reasons might be a lack of bribes $ providers of wimax, the costs and difficulties to support technology wimax users issues, (IE traing Indian/Filipino caregivers), possibly hardware , and one that I think is high on the list is planned obsolescence where you buy your laptop and immediately know that he doesn't attack Edge internet connectivity and due to the greed of HP they will assume you will then within a year almost immediately buy another laptop because you CANNOT upgrade your wireless card which would be almost as simple as installing ram more grand/more, due to their insidious START BLOCK. I would be not so likely to choose the last if it weren't so astutely aware of House a lot of $$$ HP has spent to make their ink jet printers will be very difficult to maintain or rebuild. How is this dome of their printer plastic records would have a number of plastic hidden catches (ADULT VERIFICATION) that each must be depressed at the same time to open the case of the printer, so I don't know how Xnal retentive, they can be.

  CORRECTIONS: an I thought I would just buy my laptop preconfigued less adapter integrated wimax and the period of return I would go to Best Buy and I would buy the Hp DM4 - 1165DX Wimax laptop and during the reporting period, I exchange the cards internal wireless and then install the drivers intels dm4-1165 connection manager and wimax on the DV6/7.

  This COULD overcome the bootblock HP DM4 card marked may recognize as being on the whitelist of HP approvred cards.

  I already tried to call 1-800-hp-invent for support for the DM4-1165DX that I could have a number of spare part

  for embedded wimax/wifi card so that after I swapped the cards back I could get one directly at hp to install in my edition select DV7/DV6, for reasons I DO NOT understand they say that they have no part number of replacement listed... JESUS!

  OK how not who has NOT I repeat NOT average Joe surmounted the obstacle of boot block?

  Well this would have completely no warranty cancellation and just like how I built 64 drivers as mentioned previously a VERY VERY VERY VERY TECHNICALLY HABILES PERSON SMART... COULD get a bios freeware hex editor and they could open the Device Manager and get the pid / mfg/supplier codes listed in the menu dropdown descriptors device for installed HP wireless card, then you could install the card wimax of ebay than elsewhere and you could write once again down the same information again. NOW you can get the latest version of the bios of your laptop and open the file in a hex editor and you can then use the search feature to locate the id of device/vendoe/pid of the pre-installed maps hidden in the the bios code in hexadecimal code (after the course converted to hex if necessary) then you can simply replace these data with those of the map of wimax (which may have 2 sets as the map can have WiMAX via the usb port and wifi via pci-e express, although both on the same map) which requires 2 sets of inputs for replacement.

  You would of course have to create a new checksum and save and BIG risk this flash as your new BIOS.

  Can it be done bios bootblocks YES certainly unblock, BUT WHY WHY WHY? HP puts its faithful buyers through this RIGOUR? FOR $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Thats why!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  OH some laptops cannot and never will not support wimax even though they have a mini slot pci-e inside somewhere even if not bootblocked and or have a motherboard chipset compatibility delivers wimax/wifi card intel.

  Why well when out 1 card pci - e connector minicards standard did not include either a push/pull connection usb or often a wireless switch disable hardware, some hardcore people have installed a resistance on their wireless card to pull up the signals to disable wifi wimax enable and or stuck on the contact on the wimax pci-e card.

  One must understand (many WON 't) usb and pci-e express offers 2 different ways to connect devices to the laptop via an internal card in the new laptops, in the oldest of potentially no usb connector = no support for usb in subdivision wimax to the Board of Directors.

• Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

  Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

  I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

  I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

  I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
  I go past the first steps and choose Install.
  I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

  Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

  I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

  Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

  Hard drives shown are: Toshiba RAID SCSI Disk Device LD0

  Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

  Hello

  It is very easy to solve this problem.
  If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

  Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

  You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
  As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

  Hope I could give some useful advice.

  Cheers mate

• Portege M400: no widescreen resolution external (1360 x 768)

  I'm trying to get an external LCD TV with a native resolution 1360 x 768 connected to the external VGA port of my Toshiba Portege M400. This only works with the external to a resolution of 1024 x 768. Wide screen resolutions are simply not available in the graphics options. I tried also with Powerstrip, but I did not get to 1360 x 768. With another laptop I did.

  According to the specifications of the Intel 945 GM chipset, it should support the wide screen resolutions. It seems to be just a gap of the Toshiba drivers. Is there a solution to this problem?
  Marijn

  Hi Marijn

  I saw the other ad where you have posted on the same theme and unfortunately; There is nothing to see!
  It seems that the driver doesn't support this resolution. Not every screen resolution is listed in the graphics drivers.
  If the graphics driver doesn t supports your favorite resolution if you have some many possibilities. You have to choose and use an available screen resolution.

• Portege M400: Is it possible to use the resolution 1400 x 1050 on external monitor?

  The Portege M400 SXVGA (i.e. 1400 x 1050) can support 1400 x 1050 via analog / external monitor? I ask this question because I can't do! Most importantly, he is happy to provide, even if the monitor is a TFT 1400 x 1050 screen is 1280 x 1024.

  I downloaded the latest Intel drivers and screen drivers, and although the o/s reports screen as being happy to show 1400 x 1024, it is not an option when selecting the resolutions.

  Is this a known issue?
  It is corrected using digital?
  Am I stupid?

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure but I think that that it will not support a higher resolution. In my opinion, it is according to the performance of the graphics card and the resolutions supported and not according to the used port.

• Portege M400: Resolution 1680 x 1050 on external screen is not available?

  Hi people,

  I just installed a Portege M400 with an external monitor from other manufacturers. This optimal resolution of the monitor is 1680 x 1050. I installed the latest Intel drivers available on the web site of toshiba with manufacturing monitor drivers. I can't get this combination in its optimal resolution. Can anyone of you help me with this problem please?

  One thing you need to know: the monitor works perfectly on another laptop... so it has nothing to do with the monitor itself...

  Thanks in advance...

  Hi Steve

  I think that you are not able to use this resolution because it s is not available in the properties of the graphics card.
  To my knowledge, doesn t graphics card driver supports different resolutions. Some of the resolutions are disabled or are not in the graphics card driver.

  Some users have solved this problem by using a different graphics driver, but this is only possible on models with the nVidia or ATI graphics cards.
  Unfortunately, I think that there is nothing to do.

• Portege M400: Black screen from time to time

  Hello!

  I have a little problem with my Portege M400 Tablet PC. The laptop runs great most of the time. Unfortunately, from time to time, the screen goes all black - or to be more precise, the screen shows up again. In most cases, the display has been disabled by my energy saving profile, and when I try to put the screen back on (for example by moving the slider or press any key, just like usual), the screen remains black. I see that the computer works and I can for example hibernate the computer, but even after waking up, the screen is always black. Also, it does not help to change the power profile or output or anything - the screen remains like that until I restart the computer.

  I have the new bios 1.80 (because of the better fan control) and I updated the Intel chipset drivers already (I've had the problem before, so it is not the update of drivers). Any idea that he might be, perhaps the bios (it was the first thing I installed after the purchase of the laptop I knew before the fan will be strong otherwise).

  Hello Alex

  I found interesting article from Microsoft about this problem. Please check under http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917332/en-us

  Of course, you must install Windows XP KB917332 on your device. This should help.

  Good luck!

• Portege M400: install iPod ask drivers

  When I install the new hardware Installation Wizard iPod arrives and ask a pilot. As the iPod is a USB device, it doesn't have a specific driver. Apple make sure it is a problem specific to this computer - a portege M400.

  Any suggestions? Anyone had this problem before?

  Hello

  This isn't 100% true. Many USB devices external need to install the driver before the race.

  But you deliver. I recommend that you install all the available Microsoft patches and install or update the Intel chipset utility!

• Portege M400 problem with virtualization

  I have problem with VT in BIOS VT is enabled, but Windows 7 do not. I instaled XPmode, but when I try to start I get connect this virtualization is disable. I don't know what I do mus.

  Hello

  What CPU you have in your Portege M400?

  Virtualization is a function of the motherboard (BIOS) * and * processor type. The fact is that not all processors are dematerialising and then you should check the specification on the first Intel page.

  Check this box!

• Portege M400 - virtualization not available in BIOS

  Hello

  I have 2 Portege M400 (different models), as well with the BIOS version 3.8, but strangely in one of them, I have the virtualization option to turn on or off.
  But the other not, and it seems that I'm not able to do something to make this option available on this laptop.

  Is this a known issue? I could I solve it?

  Thanks in advance,
  VICTOR

  That these two books have been said jokingly with the same processor?

  You should know that not all Intel processors supports the Intel VT (virtualization technology)

  Therefore, sometimes VT option is not available in the BIOS!

  See you soon

• 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!

• Portege M400: Cannot install windows XP

  Hello

  My friend gave me his Toshiba Portege M400 (PPM40E) at the table of settings windows XP (HHD is already formatted copmletely).

  Before that I've never worked with SATA controller

  So, when installing RAID drivers are required for any HDD lying.
  I bought the USB floopy and downloaded some drivers from Intel.

  Having suffered a bit, I found requireded (as I thought), hard disk drivers detected (even the license agreement I signed) but that pilots still needed to proceed with the installation.

  IF someone faced this problem can you send me on my e-mail ([email protected]) required drivers or give me an exact link?
  Looking forward to your advice.

  Thank you for understanding,
  Best regards from Russia

  Hello

  Maybe a stupid question but why you do not use supplied recovery media for the installation of the OS? As much as I know Portege M400 (PPM40E) comes with Windows XP edition PC of Table (teacher WXP).

  Anyway, check it please this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316401/en-us

• Tecra M4 or Portege M400: notice required

  Hello
  I plan on buying a tabletPC and close to 100% chose Toshiba. Prices seem to be ok. But I still don't know what to choose - Portege M400 or Tecra M4.

  The M400 is power supply newer batteries, lighter, longer, and I have a Core Duo cpu. However, I use programs like Photoshop, AutoCad, 3ds max, Corel and so on.

  Is that the Intel chip is sufficient for these purposes? The M4 has GF Go6600 GPU which I'm sure is ok.

  Help, please! Thanks for the tips!

  Hello

  I studied a bit in the internet and found some data about the M4 Tecra and Portege M400.
  It seems that Tecra has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
  You can purchase the Tecra with CPU Intel-Pentium-M (Dothan) 760, 740, 750, 730 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz and 2 different graphics cards: nVIDIA GeForce FX Go6200 64 MB or 128 MB nVIDIA Go6600.
  Also, there are different sizes of HARD drive; 40, 60 and 80 GB
  The screen is 14.1 "(1400 x 1050)."

  The same thing on the Portege M400. It has also been configured with different CPUs:
  Intel Core 2 Duo (Merom) processor T7400, T7200, T5600, T5500.
  The graphics card is a bit slower because it s a graphics card memory sheared.
  But you know, if you're not a hardcore game player, so you don't need a graphics card performance. The size of the screen is a bit smaller. Its 12.1

  I think that if you like little notebook so the M400 is not a bad choice.

  But you know s of your choice and you must know what you want to buy.
  But I like more the Portege unit

• Portege M400 - WLan issues connection Orange Livebox

  Hello

  My landlord has recently upgraded our WLan by introducing an Orange Livebox. I tried to do everything to connect wirelessly to the router, but nothing helped.

  All the other machines were connected with little or no problem/s. I have installed new Configfree, tried connecting via Windows system according to the instruction to the Orange site, re-typed the code several times WEP. Refined network connections, installed new Intel drivers and installed the software Orange Livebox. I'm running out of options fast.

  Wireless connection is found, it tries to connect but will not give me a network address, even with the lights flashing (according to the instructions of Orange), even when it is connected through the Ethernet cable, there is no problem what so ever.

  I've had a look through the forum and found nothing that exactly matches my problem and I tried to implement suggestions that seems familiar, but nothing has worked. Absence of any Advisor, I'll just phone Toshiba or Orange for the tips, however, I want to be spared from long conversations with people in technical support.

  I have a Portege M400 with an Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG built into the adapter.

  Suggestions anyone?

  Thank you very much

  David

  Hello

  In this case, it is not easy to say why it happens.
  One of my notebooks is not able to connect to the WLan router because the router supports Wlan 802.11 BG and my Wlan card support has and B mode.

  But you should first check if the Windows Firewall has been disabled. Disable encryption on the router, then try to connect to the laptop without encryption.

  Sometimes the MAC address filtering has been on WLan routers. In such cases, only registered WLan cards can connect to the WLan router.
  I recommend to disable all filters, encryption and then try to connect to the wireless LAN. If you will be able to connect the router you can enable encryption again.
