Question about extension USB for Satellite L30-105

Hello
Just ordered a L30-105, but have you noticed that there are only 2 USB ports. Is it possible to increase this via a card extension (or any other solution!)?

Because I have broadband via USB, an optical mouse, 2 printers, external hard drive (for music - pictures etc) and a photo card reader, it looks like I can have lost a decent amount of money by buying the L30-105.

Cheers in advance!

HI Daniel,.

Unfortunately, the only one in which you can add additional USB ports is to use a hub powered of some sort to increase the number of USB ports available. Using a powered hub will ensure that your USB devices all receive enough power to function properly.

You might also consider a PCMCIA interface card that will provide two ports USB, but this will obviously prevent you to use your PC for other purposes. I just use a map on my A30 from time to time.

Kind regards

    Is it possible to upgrade my processor from a 1.44 to what higher?

    No, there is no way because:

    -It s too expensive
    -It s complicated Exchange when you´re no technician for laptop
    -you won´t win any show (especially when the performance vs price comparison)

    Instead update your RAM and your HARD drive since that these components are comp. evolutionary and better will give you better performance.

  • Question about video memory on Satellite L30-113

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L30-113 and I managed to install a driver (I am learning how to in this forum, thx) for the video card, which allows me to change the size of the memory, what video card can be used. Configure the size of the (UMA) memory of 256 MB (including 128) properties, then in the properties of that memory for the graphics card is display 512?

    My question is that the size 512 memory is real? Video card really use this amount of memory or is unreal? If so is it better to go back to 128 (then in properties is 256), not to waste this memory for nothing.

    I know the les specifications specifications from the manufacturer, said 'max 256 memory hyper', but my question again: why in the properties I have the memory size: 512 MB?

    Thank you in advance, best regards.

    No, 512 MB is not true. The maximum size of video memory is 256 MB, but I do not know why your system shows 512 MB. If you set the video memory up to 256 MB performance will be no higher. Do not waste this memory to change anything back to 128 MB.

    Hello

    your machine can be upgraded to a maximum capacity of 2 GB main memory, which means:

    to extend the memory to the limit of what the machine is capable of, you have to put 2 x 1 GB DDR2-S0DIMM modules with a frequency of 533 Mhz into the two slots of your machine.

    Hello

    The L30-105 laptop belongs to the series of PSL3E and is equipped with the ATI graphics chip.
    The chipset driver is part of the graphics driver, and as a result, you will not find a special chipset driver.

  • Question about updating BIOS for Satellite 2450-101

    Hi, I want to update BIOS for my Satellite 2450-101 (model: PS245E-01TMY-IT). I downloaded the BIOS "bios - 20071008123347.zip" on Toshiba Europe site (see link below). Is this the right one for my PC?
    What do you propose to make a backup of the existing before installing the new?

    I want to make an extension of memory, but I'm not sure whether this is necessary. Do you reccoment to update the bios anyway?

    Thank you very much!

    BIOS

    Hello!

    Yes, it's the good BIOS because it s also for your model (Satellite 2450-101).

    A BIOS update is an upgrade of RAM is not necessary. The BIOS has nothing to do with the maximum RAM capacity.
    Satellite 2450-101 supports up to 1 GB, type PC2100 DDR - RAM.

  • Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

    Hello

    My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

    The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
    The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

    In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
    http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

    The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

    But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

    Can someone cause this problem?
    Someone at - it a solution?

    Hello

    Looking on the European driver Toshiba page?
    There is an AGP-ATI driver screen. You must download and install it.

    I assume that you have not used the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD. Why?
    On this CD, all drivers are pre-installed and it s a better way to install the operating system.

    But if you want to manually install the OS you should do it in the right order.
    The Nice installation instruction is placed on the driver page.

  • Question about drivers Vista for Satellite A100-906

    Hello
    I have a satellite A906 and I installed all the vista drivers from the 'step by step upgrade dvd-rom' - I want to ask if I should reinstall or upgrade a driver (or BIOS) of the webstite of toshiba in the Download Center.
    Thank you

    If the driver update is a solution to some problems (which you probably do) then try to update.

    Note: If you want to update BIOS please check if the BIOS is designed for you notebook series. Bad BIOS and bad BIOS update procedure can and does not damage the jury!

  • Question about drivers ATI for Satellite A100-683

    Hello

    I hear the new ATI drivers are finally out with good support of OpenGL for Vista. But again, I can only find the NVIDIA drivers on my laptops driver page. The thing was where before ATI offered to consumers that they stopped now with her again and point of Toshiba. Toshiba does not put them online and or not ATI.

    Any ideas how I can also enjoy new 7.4 or at least those with OpenGL drivers good support so I can finally use this book where I bought it for (graphic work for my studies, we use a lot of OpenGL).

    I just hope that Toshiba allows ATI to include their laptops in the reference ATI Mobility drivers.

    EDIT:
    Well, I asked ATI about this and they say I have should you mail, msg, pressure, etc to suport my material, or at least that it is supported by Catalyst Mobility. Which means that you can get at the moment their reference drivers. Which I think would be fair, because for now I can get the drivers for Nvidia this mobile version.

    Yes, you are right, that for Vista ATI display drivers are not placed on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    S let hope Toshiba guys will publish these drivers in the near future

    UPDATE:

    Everything is available on the page :D

  • Question about CD/DVD player, Satellite L30-10 X write speed

    According to the manual that came with my laptop (L30 x 10), the DVD drive can write CD - RW 16 x speed. However, according to this site (discontinued products) the drive can only write CD - RW at 4 x.

    Could someone please clarify? And is it possible to know what are the different speeds for the DVD player without having to buy all the records?

    Thanks in advance

    Have you checked the speed for CD - RW you use? Perhaps it cannot be written faster than 4 x speed. Usually what is written on the label of CD - RW.

    Hello

    It could pass the Sat A30-303 with the Wireless LAN PA3212U-1MPC card.
    It is an Intel 2100 Pro minPCI wireless network card that supports the 802. 11b standard.

    But to be honest, I prefer the external solution like WLan USB stick.
    You know that, sometimes, some compatibility problem between the wireless network card and the WLan router might appear. In my opinion it is much easier to test and remove the external USB WLAN as a wireless network card internal minPCI.

    Hope I could help a little.

    I have just received notification that there is an update of the BIOS for my laptop, Satellite P30-145, I downloaded and tried to install it but I get this message "the size of the rom file is incorrect" ideas?

    Hello

    Seems Toshiba has released and document technical support for this newsletter.
    I found this useful statement from Toshiba:

    I can't update my BIOS with the function BIOS Phoenix-file ZIP Windows XP Windows.
    I always get an error message: the size of the ROM file is incorrect.

    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB59014X0000R01.htm

    I hope it helps.

    But note; The update of the BIOS is always risky! If you have any problems with your laptop you n don't need to update the BIOS.
