• Portege R600 - performance SSD limited by SATA 1.0

  Hello

  I have improved my Portege R600 - 13 X replace SSD HARD drive (Sandisk Ultra Plus / SATA 3.0)
  This laptop has the Intel® GS45 Express chipset supporting should SATA 2.0, but I can't reach 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate. I've updated everything as I could, including the BIOS - that does not show even any option that would for example switching between modes SATA...

  Is there anyone with a SSD R600 and get better results?
  I only failed to update the chipset installation ends with an error and suggests that there is something not quite right

  Hello

  Have you checked the BIOS for the SATA mode option settings?

  Some BIOS supports a SATA mode: AHCI and compatible.
  In case you want to use the SATA performance, you must use the AHCI parameter.

  AFAIK the external eSATA port supports the 300 MB/s and in the BIOS must be set to serial ATA (default) port4.

  The interface of the host load max 300 MB/s but sustained data read would be max 100 MB/s and 40 MB/s max sustained data write

• Portege R600 - issue of SSD upgrade

  I have a R600 10 q and I am interested to put an SSD in to replace aging / slow HDD have had a look at what others have said and there seems to be some compatibility issues.

  We know if these have been fixed with the new BIOS updates? or is there a list of compatible drives?
  Have a been a success with a particular model?

  Thanks for the help

  I agree with Akuma.
  The use of SSD drive should not be a big problem.
  If something does not work, try to update the firmware of SSD drive for the last s.
  In most cases, this action has resolved most of the problems

  Since the Portege R600 supports a SATA controller, the SSD drive should support the same standard of controller.

  Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience after upgrading the SSD drive

• Portege R600-11b - screen is very low

  Hello

  The screen on my Portege R600-11b disappeared suddenly extremely dim. There is no problem with him coming back to life after hibernation - but he remains coems back extremely dim. Light blinks until when I press the button in the upper right corner with a symbol of the Sun.

  I think I might need a FL inverter? Do you know how do I know which I need and instructions on how to fit it?

  Also I had problems with Windows 7 Professional turning very slowly. I'm assuming that the two problems are not related.

  Hope you can help, thanks.

  Hello

  I recommend connecting an external monitor.
  If the image on the external monitor would be perfect, then your internal screen or inverter maybe FL needs to be replaced.
  You ask how to check this?
  Well, I'm afraid of each part should be checked using another good part tested m.

  In your case I would ask a support specialist
  Guarantee is valid? If yes then I recommend to contact Toshiba service in your country.

• Portege R600-12Z long delay of start & does not recognize DVD dirve

  I have been using my Portege R600 running windows XP for about 14 months now and recently FOUND that he began to take 1 to 2 minute wait before starting the sequence start or resumption after hibernation. Now, I have discovered that the DVD drive (5100 DVD - RW supermulti drive) does not work: in the Device Manager it shows as unable to start; If I try to boot from the drive of CD/DVD (F8 at first upward, or the definition of the boot priority) it does not take into account the CD and eventually get to the start of the HARD drive in any case. At the same time, the reader is actually superimposed a disc (it will open and close and will try to read any disc inserted). I've updated the bios (3.20) and all the drivers concerned I can find (although none seems to be specific for this drive). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  I should also mention that this replaced R600 actually an another R600 (one of the earlier and more fragile versions) on which I had exactly the same problem after about 10 months. I just unluckly, or is this a weakness of the R600 line?

  PMR thanks for your comments.

• Portege R600: How can I activate the modem 3G without original modem minipci slot

  Hello everyone,

  I own a Portege R600 (10 s) for laptop and I often use mobile internet.

  The built-in modem Ericsson 3507 is buggy, always freeze (and who need reset) from time to time. No firmware update or driver makes it more stable.
  So, I bought another 3G mini-pci modem, a huawei EM770, to replace the original modem.

  The problem is that I can't use more of the Fn + F8 combination to power on the 3G modem.
  The modem huawei is well detected, installed, but no power (the blue led is off).

  The question is how can I turn on the connector of the modem 3G mini-pci, without the original E3507 modem?
  Thank you in advance for any lawyer.

  M.

  Toshiba Value added package and control RF Utility 3 G are related to the F3507g (and F3607gw) and will not work with integrated modules, not supported by Toshiba.
  There could be BIOS problems as well.

  What was the problem with your F3507g?
  Looks like it works for many people.
  Maybe you have a bad Apple?

• Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

  Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

  Any advice would be very welcome
  Thank you
  NJ

  I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

  I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

  Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

  If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

  Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

  I hope that you have succeeded.

• FN + F5 to change device display does not work on Portege R600

  Portege R600-11 b Win 7 ultimate
  I wanted to show my photos on the TV using the vga output. Connected everyting, pressed FN + F5 and watch LCD dialog box. Support again, still lcd. tried the keys of direction, no joy, still lcd.

  plugged my trusty R100 instead of the R600 and bingo, works very well

  I'm sure this used to work on the R600 90%. (Actually, what I remember is that it just worked first time with no keyboard at all operations).

  Someone suggest anything happy?

  Steve

  It seems that your TV is not recognized correctly.
  Did you use FN + F5 option in the past?
  Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop Portege?

• Portege R600 built-in HARD disk error

  My Portege R600 works very well until today when he came with the built-in "Disk error" message when I turned on it. He then lists the following:

  Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.24

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - MOF: exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press any key when ready...

  I'm leaving on a trip to South America and do not have access to the system disks.

  Can someone help with this problem?

  Hello

  If you get an error of HARD drive and after that the message PXE boot, it seems that your internal HARD drive is not recognized more...

  Have you already checked the BIOS if the HARD drive is it recognized?
  Otherwise I think you need to replace the HARD drive :(

• Portege R600 - SSD Compatiability

  Can someone confirm if OCZ, Kingston or SSD Transcend is compatiable with the Portege R600? I want to replace my main HARD with a 64/128 GB SDD drive.

  It should not be a problem if you want to use the SSD with the right interface. You need a SATA SSD.
  AFAIK the Portégé R600-102 was equipped with 120 GB SSD SATA.

• Portege R600 - Windows 7 switch backlight does not

  I have a new Portege R600, comes with Windows 7 32 bit and the switch on / off for the backlight does not work.
  I installed the new VFR package, until I uninstalled the old. Also the latest version of the Bios.

  Use the support Toshiba button and placed in the file backlight.exe, still does not work. If I tap the backlight.exe file manually, it works.
  It is not a problem of material, as told in the hard drive of my old R600 with XP Professional and works of button.

  What can I do?
  Toshiba support is not able to help, to talk about the new facility, but is the original unchanged.
  Maybe in the button holder, I put in an option in the empty file?

  > Switch on / off the backlight does not work.
  AFAIK some BIOS versions contains the additional option to enable and disable the lighting.
  Please check if the lighting is not disabled in the BIOS.

  I also searched this forum for some tips and found this thread:

• Portege R600-13Z - Toshiba utility SMS - slow / stop when the SIM is in!

  Hello

  Portege R600-13Z running XP Pro.

  Recently updated the firmware and the Wireless Manager to try to get 3g / GPRS comms to work at all. Updated worked a treat and have now great comms.

  Utility of SMS does not work too well if. Very, very slow or crashes.

  Wierdness: out the SIM card to use the phone to send a few texts and with the SIM on SMS utility works very well (!) starts, allows composition, everything except the real /sending/ of the text, which is of course not possible because the SIM card is somewhere else.

  Anyone encountered this problem, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > took out the SIM card to use the phone to send a few texts and with the card SIM SMS utility works great
  If you noticed delays in using DMD utility only with the inserted SIM card?

  Hmm I m not very well why this happens, but I know it s not recommended to insert the SIM card if the system is already running.
  You must shut down the laptop, must insert the SIM card and then you should power the device in place.
  Then you could test this once more.

• Portege R600 of fingerprint problem: error: could not open the specified database

  Hello

  I am trying to give the registration of fingerprints for my Toshiba Portege R600-101 and I get the above error.
  I tried also on windows XP and Vista.

  Has anyone with the same problem or anyone suggesting a solution?

  I uninstalled the truesuite Access Manager but still the same problem.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  I noticed a new update for software fingerprinting for protected R600.
  Remove the old application of fingerprints, restart the laptop, clean the registry and the system using a 3rd party too (CCLeaner is free and not bad).
  Then reboot again.

  Download the fingerprint on the page of the European driver Toshiba Software and install again.

  Check it out!
