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

    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 card WiFi for Satellite A30 303

    Intel pro wireless card works with my satellite A30 303? The signal is strong or more just to buy a USB WiFi adapter?

    I have to buy a wireless card, but I don't know who... and if a USB adapter works better than a PCI (signal stronger and more stable)

    Null value

    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.

  • Question about upgrading BIOS for Satellite P30 145

    Hi all, first post!

    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.
    The bad BIOS or bad BIOS update procedure may damage the cell Board!
    So take my advice and never change a running system ;)

    Can't believe that! As far as I know this laptop was shipped only with a 512MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.
    Of course you can improve the memory up to 2 GB using two modules 1024Mo.

    Well, what say, the CPU is hit you can find easily by using a material like Everest diagnostic program. It would provide useful information on your laptop hardware.

    But to be honest, I'm very skeptical as to upgrade CPU on laptops.
    If you have already modified several processors on laptops so you know that's not very simple and more complicated as the CPU upgrade on desktop computers.

    Hello

    As Akuma already written, you can choose a CPU of the other models. Look on the lower side to identify your model number.

    But don t forget that the CPU upgrade is risky. No one has tested this before CPU in your laptop and my cause overheating or something else. This upgrade is official not supported: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • Satellite L30-134 - question about upgrade CPU and video performance

    Hi have updated my satellite l30 - 134 with a bus t2450 dual core @2 ghz 533 Mhz = cpu is runing swell-marks look nice... BUT - my video performance droped a lot - grafics 2d - to top but 3d grafics are very poor why? driver problem?

    I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)

    > I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)
    Forget that don t recommend install Win XP 64-bit.
    Why? Because the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as Win 32 bit or Vista/Win 7 64 bit and you won't find many drivers for Win XP 64 bit.
    Stay with XP 32 bit or you can change to Win 7 64 bit.

    Regarding the graphical issue;
    Have you noticed that also using the old CPU (Intel Celeron M Processor 410)?
    If this were not the case, then I guess this could be a problem between the CPU and BIOS.
    Otherwise I would recommend upgrading the graphics card driver.

  • Question about upgrading RAM for a Satellite A110-133

    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

    FSB 400 1.7 GHz?

    concerning

    Hello Constantin

    The answer is that no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

  • Upgrading CPU for Satellite L500-128

    I have a 4-5 year old Toshiba L500-128 and I would like to upgrade the processor. ATM I have a Core 2 Duo T6500. I know that I can put a T9500 inside, but if possible I would ask a better. So I have a few questions:

    (1) can I put a CPU with front side bus 1066 MHZ speed and it'll work? T6500 has 800 FSB.
    (2) can I put a CPU with 44 or 45W TDP? T6500 has 35W.
    (3) if the answer is Yes to the two questions above, I put a CPU with 1066 FSB and 45W?

    Is possible, I would put something like T9900 or even a Quad Core.

    Thanks in advance :)

    > 1) that I can put a CPU with front side bus 1066 MHZ speed and it'll work? T6500 has 800 FSB.

    In my opinion, you should check the compatibility of the chipset and CPU support.
    As far as I know the motherboard the computer s portable supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express

    On the Intel Ark page, I could find the Intel Mobile GM45 chipset specifications and compatible products:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/35134/Intel-82GM45-graphics-and-memory-controller-hub

    However, the fact is that new CPU must be supported by the chipset and BIOS.
    If one of the parties (chipset or BIOS) is not compatible with the new processor, the laptop does not start at the top.

    In addition, you should also know that the manufacturers of portable don t support upgrading processors.
    Does that mean exactly?

    This means that even if the chipset would support the new processor, BIOS could be the troublemaker and couldn't stand the improved CPU. From my experience, there is no information on BIOS support. Therefore, the CPU upgrade is always a risky procedure. Maybe it will work, maybe not

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

    Hello

    I agree with robin. Computers mobile processors are usually not extensible for different reasons. One of the serious reasons is the BIOS compatibility and the second reason is the dissipation of heat.
    Faster CPU produces more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.

  • 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??
