• 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 about the BIOS on the Satellite 4340

  As amathor, just a question:

  I have idea to boot from a USB drive (as bootable), but the problem in the BIOS is:
  No USB - HDD or USB - FDD, USB Legacy or something like that.

  On the net I found a support:
  -to take a USB stick to start UPDATING the necessary BIOS!

  Or another way?

  And to make the BIOS update it's complikation work?

  Thanks for your interest

  Hello

  could you please show me the site where you found that information that you can boot from USB on a Satellite 4340 after the upgrade of the BIOS. In my view, this is IMPOSSIBLE since this machine is too old and the cams to USB boot first option with the Pentium M based machines, but before... NO LUCK.

  If you like show me this site/forum/it either where it is written that you can use a USB device to boot from it and I'll try to help you verify that the information you gave is correct...

• Question about the Bios Tecra 8100 2.5

  Hello
  I installed the latest version of the Bios on my tecra 8100. My Question is, what is the maximum size of hard drive for these phones? Now I have 13 GB hard drive, but I want to have a bigger. And 512 MB of Ram is the maximum, right (2x256mb)? Can I adjust the size of the videoram?

  In my view, the tecra 8100 is a laptop very well.

  Greetings,
  Stephan

  Hi Stephan

  You are absolutely right. 512 MB of RAM is max for this pretty portable. If you want to buy more RAM I will suggest you that a PC100 256 MB (PA3051U-1NME). This RAM is tested and working properly with your device.

  Sorry, but video RAM is not possible to extend. And now something on the HARD drive. Unfortunately there is no documents where you can find information like this, but I know very well that here should not be a problem with 30 or 40 GB of HARD drive.

  I wish you lots of fun with this laptop old but nice.

• Question about the BIOS on the 4000CDS Satellite?

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba 4000CDS a few weeks ago, when I start my laptop, I see:

  In touch with tomorrow

  Toshiba

  2 seconds after I need to enter a password to continue from win98. I don't know how to remove this password, and how do I access the bios. I tried F1, F2, F10, Del, Esc.
  Can someone help me?

  Thank you

  Hi kaffka

  I don't know Mr. what BIOS has the machine.
  As far as I know there are 3 options to enter the BIOS.

  1. portable computers equipped with Toshiba BIOS: you must press the ESC key shortly after the turn.

  2 laptops equipped with Phoenix BIOS: you must press the F2 key shortly after the turn.

  3 books (Satellite 5xxx series) with the BIOS through Windows Update:
  You can just press ESC after pressing the power, and then press the F1 key, this procedure sets the BIOS with the default settings!

  Best regards

  Hello

  As far as I know you can only update the BIOS with the compatible reader.
  Check this Toshiba document which drives are compatible

  Thank you very much in advance

  Lukas

  Hello

  I agree with Andrew. Think twice before you take BIOS update. Is there a reason to do the update of the BIOS? Have you noticed a strange behavior with your laptop or the reason must be updated?

• How to access the BIOS on Satellite P100?

  Hello world

  I have a P100... How to access the BIOS to see if it is why my optical mini mouse does not work?
  When I plug something into the USB, it works fine.
  The new mouse wheel works but the mouse will not move the cursor. Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  But I put t know why you need to access the BIOS, if the USB mouse doesn t work
  You won't see anything in the BIOS about the USB mouse

  I think you should check the mouse settings in the control panel-> mouse

• Thermal regime controlling the setting not retained in the Bios on Satellite P100-160

  I can solve the thermal Mode command to 'silent' in the Bios, the laptop, then continues to initialize.

  When I reached the Office I can do a restart, look in the Bios again and the thermal control handed to the 'performance '. (And Yes, I do save my changes to the bios by pressing F10 - if I immediately return in the Bios before booting the laptop, the value of 'silent' is still there - so it must be all by initializing it resets the control thermal mode for 'performance').

  Any ideas anyone? This leads me into the wall, because when the thermal control of Mode setting of "silent" 'takes' it makes the laptop run much more quiet (but then it becomes noisy after a certain time and of course when I check the thermal mode setting in the bios has changed in 'performance'... grrr).

  There must be something wrong with the Bios and likely Toshiba needs to release a Bios Update, or stop any process modifies the bios during normal operation of the PC

  Hello

  I think that there is not much to do.
  I guess that it of because of Vista. Maybe it s active automatically for the performance necessary to run the Vista or better.
  Let's hope for a later Vista hotfix or the update of the BIOS that could help sort this strange behavior.

• Questions about the BIOS update and battery charge on Satellite M30 104

  Hey,.
  I try to update my BIOS, but it does not work because my battery won't charge any more, if a window always tells me that my battery is not enough. Yet, the reason why I'm updating my BIOS is that I read in a forum that might solve my problem of battery charging.
  I'm fairly certain that the battery is not the problem itself: I bought a new battery, it worked for 10 minutes once or twice, then again the load stop completely.
  If anyone knows what the problem is or how to update my BIOS, please...

  Hello Celia

  I am not a technician, but as far as I know, BIOS has nothing to do with charging the battery. In my opinion, there are some problems with e-procurement (electronic load). Sorry, but I imagine that you must contact the partner in your country.

  They have diagnostic tools and it can be verified. Please call and simply explain the situation.

  Good luck!

• Re: Question about the BIOS update

  Hello

  just tried to install the latest updates of BIOS (Vista laptop on my Equim) and am getting error messages saying: I have the wrong ROM? Tried to use bothe the 32 and 64 bit ones.
  Any suggestions...?

  Ta
  Nick

  This is the error that I got when I tried to apply the update after reinstalling my Satellite Pro P200 last weekend. I remembered that I applied the update, a week earlier, thus interpreted the message in this sense that the ROMA had already been flashed with the new BIOS format.

• Question about the partitions on satellite Pro L300-164

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it came with vista on the 1 74 GB partition and a data partition 73 GB but it has a folder called HARD drive recovery, but I want Vista to all of the 140 gb and have the recovery partition on a small partition of 4 GB for HARD drive recovery.

  Is this possible without mucking up the HARD drive recovery?

  No, is not possible, but that you can and should do is create recovery DVDs.
  After doing this, you can remove this folder and organize partition how you want it to be.
  Remember that you will lose the ability to install the operating system from the disk using F8 and repair my computer option.

  If a problem occurs, you can install Vista using this recovery DVDs.
  Please note: after installation of recovery, you will have the same structure divides again and all your saved data will be gone.

• Question about the SafeMode on Satellite A100

  How can I reboot my system to reboot safe mode. It seems to be a virus that prevents me from starting if I need to restore to an earlier date.

  You can restart it in safe mode by pressing the "F8" key until the Windows Startup logo appears. After pressing F8, a menu will follow where you can choose the method of priming.

  There, you can decide if you want to start in safe mode or to restore your system to a previous restore point.

• Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

  I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

  (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

  (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

  (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

  (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

  (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

  Hello

  I'll try to provide answers:
  1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
  2 - Yes.
  3 - Yes.
  4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
  5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

  In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• Question about the recovery partition

  Hello.

  I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

  If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

  I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

  In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

  In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.
