• A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

  Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
  I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

  * Some info first.*

  CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
  Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

  * Questions.*

  1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

  2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

  3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
  If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

  > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
  The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

  > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

  It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
  But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

• Question on HDD on my Satellite L40 partitions

  Hello all

  I bought a Satellite L40 - 14N on Dec. 8. It came with Vista Home Premium installed. 1 getting started I noticed that the 120 GB HARD drive 2 50/55 GB partitions, both being on C: System files. What is the purpose of this implementation, why 2 partitions (excluding the recovery partition). Vista comes with partition resizing software?

  Concerning

  Hello

  To my knowledge the portable computers preinstalled Vista come with 2 partitions.
  One is visible and contains the Vista and additional software. The second HDD is not visible and was created for Vista restore options.

  As I understand it the HARD drive on your laptop has been divided into 3 partitions. 2 visible (50/55 GB) and the other not visible (15 GB). Am I wrong?
  It's very strange for me because I didn't see any series of Satellite equipped of two partitions (factory settings).

  Have you checked the second partition? What is stored on the second partition?

  You your comments would be appreciated!

• How do we uninstall sound card from the bios on a Satellite L40?

  I bought a Creative Soundblaster 5.1 and install having problems with him. The technical team was advised to uninstall or diasble internal sound card via Device Manager. Tried and every time computer re - starts the sound card is re-installed.

  The team informed that I should uninstall it from the bios. I have only a very basic knowledge of computers, it would be appreciated if someone could point me in the direction of the instructions, or guide me through it.

  I have a portable Satellite L40 and Vista works on the computer.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Paul

  I got some bad news! You can't disable the sound card in the BIOS. The BIOS for laptops is just different as BIOS for the desktop PC and the menus are not the same.

  +*@McMadkat*+
  Please don t be angry with me, but I think that your suggestion is wrong.

  The sound card may be disabled in the Windows operating system device manager

• question about indexing settings

  Hello
  
  I was looking through the release of Essbase and here's my question about the index file I deleted a populous cube and I see everthing reset to 0 except index Cache current value that remained the same when the cube is populated.
  
  Any help or a response in this regard is greately appericiated.
  
  Thank you

  No, it should not change to zero. As I said, the key cache takes the memory when the application starts and keeps it until the application is stopped even if there are no data in the cube. HE maintains that the memory for when there no are data. I've seen of many inplementations where the client has set the cache to be really fat git thought would only use what it takes, but instead, the amout set gets consumed. So, I'm called asking how they can possibly be out of memory on their server. Moral of the story, do no bigger that it must really be or you will expect a lot of the key cache memory

• Questions about the settings of the BIOS of Satellite M30X

  Hello everyone!

  I spent several hours today trying to find a way to make my Satellite M30X start automatically every morning so that I can use it as an alarm clock.
  Generally the best way to do this is using the "wake on LAN" or a similar service that offers almost every PC and which can be activated in the BIOS menu.
  However, it seems that there is no wake-up option in the menu of the BIOS of the M30X at all, I would say that users have almost no influence on the majority of the important parameters.
  So if anyone knows how to turn any mode wake up my laptop, let me know!

  Furthermore, I just updated the BIOS to 1.90 but nothing has changed on the menu itself.

  HawkeyePierce

  Hello

  I searched a bit, but there is no possibility to do so.
  If there is no WOL option in the BIOS, you will not be able to put it in the BIOS.

  But wait; Some LAN cards contains an option in LAN card properties.
  You can access it by the Device Manager-> ECS-> Lan card (right click)-> properties

  Here, you can see the unique tabs

• Question about BIOS for Satellite Pro A10 files

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 and later yesterday, he won't, he past the TOSHIBA start screen and then black with a flashing cursor, it didn't leave me in advanced settings or the settings of the BIOS, a friend told me I need to Flash BIOS, I came across the site and found only a BIOS update and management told me to use the floppy drive , he said when I unzip the file I get an .exe file which I opened and it will give me three files, one for the CD ROM, one for the floppy drive and the third I don't remember, but it didn't happen, when I unzipped the files in a temporary folder, but I never had the files.

  I think I had to have it on my own laptop, and then it would be extracted properly, because my laptop does not work I can't do and even if I put the files on a disk, they are too big.

  Then...

  Where can I get the files from the BIOS that I can put on a floppy disk and then I can boot from that disk and it will fix the BIOS?

  Thank you

  Hello

  OK, follow these steps:

  Burn the file bios to CD on a CD, boot from it and update your bios. It's a simple and easy way. I Don t understand why it shouldn´t work, given that I ve updated my bios in the same way. I burned the image to CD and booted from this CD.

  Please answer perhaps you just made a mistake when you think to (I sometimes do too much, not often, but it happens..)  :)

• Satellite Pro L100 - Question about BIOS password reset

  Hello

  I have problems with an old satellite L100 to request the password from the bios, which we do not know.

  I saw there are different ways of short connections to work around this problem, but I can't find anything about this particular model and none of the information I've seen applies to this motherboard.

  Can someone please help and direct me to what pins needs a short circuit on the laptop to be able to re - use this equipment.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Chris

  > old satellite L100 asking to specify the password of the bios, which we do not know.

  The password of BIOS bad new buddy is a kind of security mechanism that cannot be removed easily. The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only authorized Toshiba service
  This is why you must contact the ASP in your country to remove

• Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
  Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
  If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

  Thank you

  I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

• Satellite X 200 - 20 G: Question about BIOS 2.20

  Hello

  Could you please bring me some lights on the warning that introduced the 2.20 BIOS upgrade:

  *!!! * Upgrade BIOS from Windows XP BIOS only on VISTA BIOS V2.20 V5.10 or more! * *

  I am mainly interested to understand what the relationship is with XP.

  I have a Satellite X 200-20 G with the first hard drive with Vista (default configuration) and a XP Home edition on the second hard drive, and I use the menu of the BIOS to boot to one side or the other.

  Thank you
  Guy.

  Hello

  On some laptops the BIOS must be updated to the XP version if the Win XP operating system has been installed.

  The warning indicates that if you have already updated the BIOS to version 5.10 XP refresh you could again only at the version 2.20 of BIOS Vista.

  But it seems that the version XP BIOS for Sam X 200 doesn't exist at this time and in my opinion you can neglect it ;)

  Best regards

• Satellite A30: Question about Bios Update August 8

  Good afternoon

  Am I right to assume that the update in August 2007 for my Satellite A30 is to allow him to work with MS Vista? There is no documentation with the download of the bios, but the bios description says "provides the additional functionality.

  Can anyone describe what that this added functionality provides and is it really helps in 3-year upgrade of a machine? I use XP on it

  Kind regards

  Dave Smith

  Hello Dave

  I'm pretty sure that old Satellite A30 is not taken in charge of Vista. Unfortunately there is no public document on the update of the BIOS and the exact list this update is good for. One thing I can say with certainty: If your OS works well and stabile let go and take advantage of Windows XP Home edition.

• Question about the settings of the mouse on my Satellite A105

  By changing the current definition of the parameter 'magnetize' to my checked unchecked to i.e mouse pointer active (and then selecting 'Apply' and 'OK') the function "align on" works OK initially

  .. However, after restarting my laptop 'magnetize' is disabled and the box (in the settings) returns to be deselected.

  I tried to fix the problem at the level of the registry by changing the SnapToDefaultButton value to '1', but the problem comes back even. I also installed Microsoft driver for the external mouse I use.

  I also disabled the touchpad, which none have solved the problem. I think it could be a setting on the laptop that is causing the recommended turn off whenever I restart.

  Could you please advice?

  My machine features:

  Toshiba Satellite A105 (I bought it new)
  Windows XP Edition family ed 2002
  Synaptic touchpad V6.2 (PS2 port)
  Mouse Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse

  Hello

  As far as I know, this option is part of the Microsoft mouse settings and it is really strange that something like that happen. If you use additional software for external mouse there is possibility of a kind of negative influence on the standard preinstalled stuff. Perhaps the same option persists in software pre-installed and both come across each other somehow. Sorry, but on this path it is not easy to say what can be the solution.

  Have you had this problem before using the external mouse?

  Good bye

• Satellite A300 - Question about BIOS password

  Hello

  on the machine, I had a bios password set for the start.
  After that I put this password empty start it asks me for some other password enter the bios menu.
  I am able to boot up the laptop, launch Vista and do what I want to do besides enterering the Bios.

  Advice to solve this problem?
  Tried to update the bios, did not help.
  Looked in the internet for a description where to find CMOS batt. Still no idea.

  Best regards
  Rob

  Hello

  Are you sure that you have set the BIOS password?
  If you set the BIOS password then the laptop would request the password before it would start in Windows Vista.

  I think that set you the password of the user or supervisor password!

  In Toshiba Assist-> Secure you could erase that two passwords too.
  Please check this!
