  > I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace by something big, they said it's impossible! HOW DO I? It should be possible to replace the 64 GB SSD 256 GB SSD!

  And why wouldn't this possible? The technician said that?
  To my knowledge, it should be possible to use any disk SSD because SSD drives use the same interface as ordinary hard drives

  As far as I know there is a common controller SATA and SSD with SATA interface should work

  That s in my opinion

• The display is loose on my Portege R500 - how to tighten the hinges?

  The display is loose on my portege r500.

  Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges?

  Hello

  I think that this procedure is very delicate and in my opinion it s a job for a technician.
  I m don't know if you can tighten the hinges if necessary he s need to replace the old hinges

  Is it the hinges are hidden under the plastic around the screen frame.
  The LCD mask is fixed with screws I m but not quite sure how much could be three screws. They are hidden under the mask of small cushions.
  You will need to remove and the tightness of the extra mask.
  Then you can remove the LCD mask. The hinges should be visible now

  But there s more complicated as it may seem the R500 is a nice unit, and it would be a shame that you would damage the LCD screen. The LCD screen is an expensive part, and in my opinion it is worth to ask a professional for help

  On Windows, I use Fn + F8 to activate it. When I use the key combination a new light begins to Flash next to the Ref. Leucht wireless meaming 3 g/umts is turned on but I can´t do on Linux.

  I have can´t activate so lspci even can not find the umts modem.

  I tried an option in the bios saying "Device Config: all devices / Setup by OS" (I tried the first option all devices), but I can't yet find the Linux umts modem.

  I also downloaded the utility toshet [http://www.schwieters.org/toshset/] but didn t find any option related to 3 g/umts modems.

  Any idea on how to activate it?

  Thanks in advance.

  FN key features are controlled by the tool designed by Toshiba. Toshiba doesn't support Linux for now and as a result there is no Linux tool to achieve this.

• Portege R700 - how to replace the optical disk drive?

  Hello
  I would like to replace the optical disc drive (ODD) with a Solid State Drive (SSD) on my Portege R700.
  So my first question is: what is the way to remove the STRANGE?

  And my second question is: can I replace it with a Caddy drive HARD ICY BOX IB-AC642 or Akasa AK-OS2SSA-BK?
  Interface SATA caddy fits with the WEIRD interface?

  Thank you for your answer

  Hello

  It s really complicated because the STRANGE is placed inside and remove it you must remove all the screws that fix the bottom cover.

  I wouldn't, because you will lose the warranty.
  More I doubt you could get the second HDD to work in ODD Bay.
  I think that this is not supported
  Just the laptop s as Portege M400, M700, M750, Tecra M9, S3 or S4 with a select Bay slim support would treat the 2nd HDD instead of ODD.

• Qosmio X 500-122 - how to replace the SSD drive?

  Hello

  My 64 GB is really small, because I have a lot of software to run on it.

  Could you tell me:
  -What SSD drive adapts to this computer?
  -How do I change it?

  I tried to get help from the Toshiba support but you don't even have an answer.

  Thank you in advance for your help.

  Hey Buddy,

  All disks are placed on the underside. This means that SSD and HDD can be exchanged if return you the laptop and remove the cover from the SSD/HDD which is fixed by two screws. If you remove these screws, you can exchange the SSD.

  All SSD 2.5 are compatible. The laptop supports the SATA interface so there is no capacity limit and you can buy each SSD. Also there is no certain brand you have to buy because everything will work.
  As far as I know OCZ and G.Skill make good SSD.  :)

• Portege M100 - how to replace the RTC battery?

  Hello, my Portege M100 RTC battery is flat. I managed to order one of the internet, but I can't locate. I disassemble almost every part of the computer, but if someone could just guide me and give the procedure to replace, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

  Hi friend

  It s easy to replace the RTC battery on your machine. I already did and I had no problem when replacing, I mean it's a bit difficult to find the batt. but I will give all that to my experience. ;)

  First look at the wireless lan card, West a slot under the slot lies the minipci wlan card. Near the wireless lan card slot is somewhat on the cover, this cover must be removed (quietly). The RTC battery is located in a white insulator, but before you peel this small battery, you must disconnect the battery from the motherboard. After unplugging it, simply lift the RTC and place a new.

  That's all, unfortunately I can't serve you with some photos, so you'll have to imagine yourself. ;)

  Good luck and welcome

  P.s.: If you feel uncomfortable by replacing the batt, then ask some tech to help you.

• Portege R700 how to replace the keyboard

  Hello!

  One of the keys on my R700 R700 laptop model PT311A-00Y00Q has a broken key. Apparently, you can get spare keys, so I need a whole new keyboard.

  I found this on EBay: keyboard http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=Toshiba+R700+ & _sacat = 0

  But I can't find a guide to replacement of the keyboard, would you mind linking me to a guide?

  Thanks in advance.

  I've read some reports of users who have tried to replace the keyboard on the R700 and it's not very easy.
  It s difficult because you will need to remove the other parts like the
  Battery, sim card, express card slot, modules of memory, base Assembly to gain access to a
  Ribbon of aluminum on the back of the lid Assembly. Then you could cut the lid Assembly face to the top and peel the keyboard joined the insulator.
  And also you can not use the keyboard removed and isolator keyboard again. You will need to use new parts

• Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

  Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
  (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
  (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

  Background:
  (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
  (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
  (3) a week later the HD has no
  (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
  (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

  I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

  Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
  I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

  Hello

  I have seen words about your question.
  AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
  Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
  But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

  However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
  You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

  PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
  I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01

• How to replace the contents of the settings/passwords backup server / current browser bookmarks?

  Classic scenario: after the bookmark long manual organization Firefox Sync adds trash of its server to my laptop or tablet.

  Where can I find how to replace the content of the backup of the server by settings/passwords / current browser bookmarks? Stupid me, I put a new synchronization and lost this ability.

  It is not recommended to go back to the old version of Sync

  The old version is removed he'll stop being available soon, it takes getting used to using the new version.

  IIRC, it is actually possible to force synchronization of the old working with Fx29 & Fx30 using an old profile or preferences of piracy, but I don't think I should encourage users to try this, but it would be better than using an older version of Firefox which is really bad. In fact using an old outdated version of Firefox is so bad, that it is customary to recommend using a browser on alternative day of someone else instead.

  Firefox ESR is aimed at corporate users, definitely, at the moment, it will use the synchronization of the former. Who will update soon to use synchronization well again, and this time, I guess the synchronization of the former will probably totally frowned upon for example are not available at all.

  It is possible to use the feedback system to leave a short comment on Sync. I would recommend this making, but at least to make very many people of spirit comments that I doubt will have no effect.
