• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)

  Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

  Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the

• 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?

  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.

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
  So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

  To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

  As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

• Satellite Pro A120-107: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello world

  I have a 120-107 I am generally satisfied but the hard drive is too small and I think the upgrade in about 100 GB. What should I look for when buying? Any suggestions on the best drive to get? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

  Hello

  "you just have to take care, that you buy a Sata Drive in the"form factor"2.5". That's all.
  As I know, the biggest that drive was delivered with this machine was a 120 GB SATA drive.

  Regarding the manufacturer: do not hesitate to take all the manufacturers that you like. The best would be Toshiba at all ;)

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card

  Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.

  I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
  Any recommendation?
  Any help would be appreciated muchly.

  Hello

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  Hope this will help a little.

• Question about upgrading Satellite Pro L100

  Hello, I bought this laptop on a year by year and a half ago, it is a celeron M with 256 MB of RAM.
  Now its bad to do the most basic things like start up without hoggin the system, running from web pages and even small arcade games or simply check your e-mail becomes a chore.
  I'm goin to this level with a 1 GB RAM stick but is there anything else that can be done about it for £400 for this?

  see you soon

  Mark

  Hello

  The upgrade of the laptop is usually that you cannot update parts like the CPU or GPU
  But you could upgrade RAM or HARD disk

  A Satellite L100 RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB.
  In housing, you can use 2 GB DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM module.

  But in my opinion the 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) are more than enough.

  In your case, the update of RAM is really advisable because the 265MB RAM don t offer better performance. It s all just too low

• Question about upgrading drivers Nvidia on Satellite Pro X 200

  Can I update the drivers from nvidia 8700 for my 8700 pro satellite drivers for vista from nvidia home page,.
  or do I have to use the toshiba page.

  The reason I ask, is because I had a laptop computer manufacturers one another, and when I updated my nvidia drivers from the nvidia homepage,.
  Spoolsv.exe has started using all my cpu, and the reason was that this driver has not been supported by this manufacturer

  Shouldn´t you use the original Nvidia drivers since they are not changed for mobile platforms. If you install drivers from there, your computer will run much hotter then now and it won´t work correctly because the programming of schedules for the GPU and RAM are not correct.

  You will need to go here:

  but please: read the FAQ first before you do ANYTHING! :) I recommend you to do this because we can made a lot of mistakes. ;)

  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.

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Question about upgrading Ram on a Satellite Pro A200

  I want to buy an internal memory of my A200 Satellite Pro Mod no, PSAE1E, but I can't find my model in the drop-down lists, what memory do I need, I want to switch using two sticks of 1 GB memory, at the present time, I have two sticks of 512 MB installed.

  Hello

  Compatible modules are: * DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM *.

  As far as I know all the A200 series laptops can evolve until * 2 GB *.

  This means that a memory would support module of RAM 1 GB max.

  As the previous user have already said, the Kingston modules are not bad.

  I also use it in my book and so far, the modules are ok.

  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,

  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).
