Question about laptop / Modems

Hello! I have a question for those of you who know much more on laptops that I do (pretty much everyone)!

I expect any day now the laptop I ordered... I'm totally excited about it! The model is HPDV7 I ordered at QVC.

It's a 17.3 "6 GB of RAM and 500 GB HD (White Pearl , LAN card reader Blu Ray, 3 years of McCafe, Win 7, graphics card HD 4200 integrated Lightscribe, wireless, ethernet, etc. etc. etc.)

First... sounds like a nice phone? I had only prior to Dell and have been... less than impressed.

Here's my question... the States of information that is is not equipped with a built-in modem. Another laptop HP they carry, it was either the DV4 or the G60... declares that it DOES not come with an internal modem.

So why don't the one I bought has one? And... How is this laptop connecting without a modem? The wireless card takes the place of that? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm a bit over my head here, I guess.

If you need more info on this, let me know. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, Roni, you need only a modem if you plan to connect to the internet by using a remote access service.

What do you have?

The DV7 is a nice portable quick.

  • Question about laptop charger

    Dear customers of toshiba, and Toshiba

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite S2400 in the past. My father is currently using a Toshiba Qosmio laptop F10. My laptop charger is defective and is currently not available to use. My question is: is it possible to use the charger laptop Qosmio F10-101 of my father for my laptop Toshiba S2400 to charge my battery until I get a new laptop computer charger?

    Thank you

    Theoretically, it should be possible to use it, but I put t know if the polarity is the same one side if two laptops have the same domain controller into the slot. It will be perhaps better to wait for a new. ;)

  • Drive hard question about laptop

    I have a laptop HP Pavilion, model dv6885se, now it's going on 4 years. The dv6885se has been working flawlessly for the full time, but I've noticed lately strange questions... seems to hang occasionally. I think the hard drive is out, but all controls said no, but I want to replace the hard drive. I bought a SATA device and restored my drive hard (via Norton ghost 15) to the new SATA drive, but he could not start... BIOS or? Maybe the question, don't know. So I want to return to a player that works (ATA or IDE) I think... tried to find hard drives over the internet, but it seems that nobody produces devices more since everyone is going to the SATA drives. Can someone help me find a new ATA IDE drive?

    + 1 on the Shhh - response

    If it's a desktop computer, where you have little room for creativity (and cards), I can see where you might have able to clone a HDD IDE to SATA drive, then replace IDE SATA.  But with a laptop?

    You mention it is in Vista, so also, makes no sense.  IDE has been eliminated well before Vista laptop, if I remember.

    I googled HP dv6885se.  This unit has two bays for HARD drives.  I doubt that either one is IDE, but I wonder if your original problems may have something to do with the confusion on who was the boot drive?  Physical replacement or cloning that bad?

    This site Web Cnet sez the primary drive is SATA.  I didn't find this basic bit of info on the HP support site...

  • question about laptop dv5-1027el

    Hello, I would like to know if the dv5-1027el is out of production, and then I would like to know what is the duration of the battery, of course when the battery is new. I read somewhere that this laptop uses a lot of resources of the battery, so I have a doubt about buying this notebook or another. Also, I know that if there is full support for this laptop, in case I need to replace the battery or any other piece of hardware, it is the motivation for which I asked if it is out of production.

    Yes, the models currently on sale are dv5-11xx and more. But don't worry about spare parts. Batteries and other parts will be available for years to come. What about the battery life, it is the version of Intel and the battery life should be more than 2 hours. You really want to buy the extended battery life in which case you will get more at 3.5 to 4 hours.

    Hello ocmccormick,

    I understand that your computer may be overheating.

    After that the vents are cleaned,

    Do a hard reset.
    Turn off the computer.
    Remove the power cable and battery.
    Hold down the power button for 15 sec while booth energy sources are deleted.

    This should reset the hardware in the computer.

    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    I would like to know how everything goes.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

  • Question about warranty after exchanges of RAM on Satellite module series

    Hello together,

    I have a question about the warranty. My laptop is 5 months old and now I want to improve it with more RAM. I want to do it myself, and now I'm wondering if the warranty will be getting hurt.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Concerning

    TiG3r

    For new models of laptops the RAM upgrade described in s operating manuals. It is public act and it shows the owner of the notebook how do RAM upgrade only.

    If Toshiba offers something like this he won't have the negative influence of valid warranty.
    Buy a compatible module and RAM upgrade.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite L650-11R - a few questions about this

    Hello there :-)

    I have a few questions about my new L650.

    I've never had Toshiba notebook before so I apologize if some of these "quirks" are actually quite normal on this laptop. I really want to hear the views of other users L650.

    1)
    First of all, by the time I turned it on I saw gradient thin (1-2 mm) along the right edge of the screen that goes from the bottom up. Maybe "degraded" isn't the right word, but it seems that since two or three pixels are kind of discoloration or lose brightness/sharpness to the edge along the straight bezel. It is not really that visible, looks like the colors are desaturated a bit here or brightness is a bit lacking. He can be seen everywhere (bios or no color in Windows, but better in the lighter background).
    The left side (or other) seems ok, all this along the right edge is somewhat suspicious. If one can compare? I don't know if it's something to worry about or is just supposed to be like that.

    2)
    The other thing I noticed heating of the processor (Intel i3 330M) and GPU (ATi Mobility Radeon 5650). It's pretty hot here right now (I would say that the temperature is around 28 degrees Celsius when using cell phones). He is sitting on the hard surface (table) and nothing is blocking the vents.
    However, at "rest" (surf the web & regular light stuff), average CPU temp hovers around 58 ° C. It usually goes from 45 to 62 in just a few minutes after starting, and then I can hear and see (Toshiba PC Health Monitor) evacuate the kicks in. Temp goes back to 50 +, event stops and then the temp rises to 60 + until the vent is used again.
    During load full (Prime95 or some games), CPU is going all the way up to 75 degrees (the highest being 77). Fan runs at 75 to 77% during this time, never go faster.

    GPU idling is usually around 5 degrees above temp CPU (62-65). During full load (for example. Benchmark of Far Cry 2), I see a lot of stuttering with the latest drivers Catalyst and DX10 (not sure if the stuttering has something to do with heat), otherwise it is ok (no artifacts or anything like that). Temp of GPU during the loading goes up to 74-75, fan speed is locked at 30%, the frequency of the heart 5650 is 450 MHz. left side of the laptop (vent and below) is pretty hot, while the keyboard is warm (or slightly warmer who who).

    These time seems correct and safe in the long term? I'd rather events works all the time (they aren't really very strong) and keeping time less than 50, but there are just wishful pious bios control events and I can't control not the bios. :-)

    3)
    This is just General related products. :-)
    Official specifications of Toshiba L650 say ATi 5650 (between other low range GPU), but I saw a few specifications calling for there 5730 (same model 11R). Is there really a Satellite L650 with ATi 5730 GPU models?

    Sorry for the long post, I tried to include the best possible description that I could do. :-)

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the additional info!

  • 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?

    > 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?

    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.

  • Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

    I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
    Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
    And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
    What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

    My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
    I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
    He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
    I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
    But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

    This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

    Tom

    The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
    If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
    If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

    > I have installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees. He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

    CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
    You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

  • Question about temperature internal Satellite A300 ND1

    Hello

    I have a question about the temperature of the standards it of ok for my laptop and what is the normal temperature and how can I keep it low?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what a normal temperature could be.
    The temperature is not always the same and it depends on the use of the laptop.
    Usually, the temperature would increase while gaming or running applications high performance. Why? Because all devices such as the CPU and GPU would focus the heat dissipation and this leads to a higher temperature.

    > How can I keep it low
    Very simply, you can keep still low level, but you can make sure there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.
    Also don t use the laptop on your knees etc in order do not obstruct cooling fans.

    It s also advised to clean the fans from time to time using the jet of compressed air. These sprays are really useful and could buy in the stores of different computers.

  • Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

    Hello

    I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

    1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
    PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

    2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

    3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
    PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

    4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
    You can find a useful article about this here:

    3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

    4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
    Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

    Hi all!

    I'm new to the forum but have been hidden for a while and he thought at the time that I said "Hello".

    This and the fact that I have a question about my laptop Satellite A100-027.
    The hard drive on my laptop seems to be divided into three partitions = Vista (c) / data (E :) / WinRE (d) with the WinRE (D :) is quite small but others, quite large.))

    My C drive is up to 3 that GB free with about 35 GB of free data (E :) is possible to merge these two to give me a big drive? And if so, how?
    Please excuse my ignorance, but it seems impossible to me to "get my head around" this thing hard drive and would split the a large hard drive.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated and once again, Hello to all.

    Hello

    As the user previous already said, you can manage HARD drive partitions in disk management settings.

    If you n t want to have a data partition (e) then you can try to delete it in disk management.
    Then you can add this empty space of the HARD drive for other partitions on the HARD drive.

    But note; the empty space will be placed at the end of the HARD drive. I don't know if your C partition is placed as a second HARD drive partition, but if so, then it should be no problem to add empty space to partition C (System) of m.
