Question about upgrade disk for Tecra M1

Hello

I have a failed 60 GB hard drive in my notebook Tecra M1 aged three years and decided to upgrade to a new drive before the existing one doesn't die. I would like to take this opportunity to install a slightly larger HDD (for example 80 to 120 GB) but I'm unclear as to the maximum permitted by the BIOS (1.5 v) has anyone successfully mounted a drive of more than 60 GB in a Tecra M1 or found definitive information on the limitations of the BIOS?

Thank you very much

Jezzer

Hello

I found information that the Tecra M1 supports 30 GB, 40 GB, 50 GB and 60 GB HDD.
Perhaps you might be able to use a 80 GB HARD drive, but I think that the 100 GB HARD drive is definitely too large size of HARD drive.

What about a HARD drive test? You could take the laptop to a merchant of HARD drive and you could test several sizes.
I think that it is no bad idea. What do you think??

    There is no question beast just dumb response. The recovery CD with Windows XP Professional and all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities.

    You can install it on two tracks with the help of an installation standard and expertise. If you have only a partition there is possibility to do both by using expert mode. If you have more questions please write again.

  • Question about updating drivers for Tecra A9

    Hello

    I noticed that support Toshiba updates drivers for Tecra A9 very slowly even if they introduce important features. For example, the display driver for 965 graphics worm 15 is much better than 14 worm distributed by Toshiba. I know that pilots are tuned and Toshiba has many models to take care, but several months of waiting seems to be too long. I do not expect that all minor versions are updated, but the most important should be!

    Kind regards
    Marek

    Having the latest drivers would be nice, but its different for laptops. Motorists need to be customized for the features of the laptop, and they probably need to go through quality control, testing too although I guess.

    However there may be a solution, you can try to install the drivers later on newer models such as the Tecra A10 and M10 :)

  • 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

    Hello

    This page might be useful for you:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=24868&ft=m&St=3

    You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM barrettes.

    But I doubt that the Kingston KVR533D2S4 / 2G 2048 mb would be fine because the A110 can be upgraded up to 2 GB, and in this case, you can only use 2 x 1 GB RAM modules

    No, there is no way because:

    -It s too expensive

    -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.

    Hello

    Seems Toshiba has released and document technical support for this newsletter.

  • Beginner looking for the best upgrade memory for Tecra 8000

    Hello - I am currently looking to upgrade the memory on my Tecra 8000 the current 96 of at least 256.

    Is it possible that I can't find info on 256 MB extensions that are compatible

    I also want to upgrade my hard drive of at least 20 Gb, but I think it will be easier

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them what a memory module is compatible with your laptop. I found that PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) is certainly usable for Tecra 8000.

    Please be careful because all modules may not be recognized by BIOS correctly.

    It is possible that 256 MB RAM PA3069U - 1 M 25 is compatible but I'm not sure about this. Pick up information by the Service partner before buy you one.

  • 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

    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.

  • 1700-500 pictures satellite images: Questions about upgrades

    Hello
    I have a computer laptop 'satellite 1700-500' with Windows XP Home SP2 operating system installed and wish to update.
    1. thesis topic:
    My wish is to extend more than 512 MB memory, if possible. The user manual mentions that the maximum ram is 192 MB so added a module of memory of 128 MB (64 MB of non-removable memory). But the program "SiSoftware Sandra Pro 2005" detects and indicates:
    "Number of memory slots: 3.
    "Bank0(64M), Bank1(64MB), Bank2 (empty).
    "Maximum Installable memory 1 GB.

    I see only a single slot in the memory compartment. Where is "Bank2?
    According to data of Sandra, I install a module of 512 MB increasing memory in a total of 576 MB? What do you suggest for me? Finally, what is the maximum memory extension of this machine? What types, models and brands of memory I can install? buffered or not?

    2. on the hard disk:
    Can I install a 120 GB ATA-100 drive? Otherwise, what is the maximum size that can be installed?
    BIOS have been updated (v 1.30 (a)

    Please tell me details in both cases.
    Thank you very much.

    You are right. At the moment there is no support for Vista 64-bit, but it will be supported in the future. I phoned with guys from Toshiba which cares about notebooks in my company. He told us that Vista 64-bit support should begin this summer.

    We'll see when drivers will be available on the support page.

  • New disk for Tecra M2

    Hello

    I want to install a new drive HARD 80 GB on my Tecra M2 1.8 GHz, purchased dec 2004. At this time a new 80 GB HARD drive has been the product of PA3230U - 1: 80. A new HDD of 80 GB for Tecra M2 is now under the name of PA3407 - 2 80 H. Can I use it in my Tecra M2 (from 2004)?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dr. Weekx R

    Hello

    To my knowledge the Tecra M2 accepts the 30 GB; 40 GB; 60 GB; 80 GB and, therefore, you can install the 80 GB HARD drive with no problems.
    I think that it s no matter if it s a PA3230U - 1: 80-PA3407 - 2 H 80.

    The laptop supports an interface Enhanced IDE (ATA-6) and Enhanced IDE (ATA-5)
    Thus, you can use a disk HARD 5400 RPM 80 GB, size memory buffer of 8 MB, which takes in charge an EIDE (ATA-6) interface.
