• Problems with disk Satellite pro 4200 hard assembly

  I have problems with a Satellite pro 4200.
  The Notbook reads no more disks. Undercarriage I traded the loan, but did not work. Undercarriage is addressed, but it is read the discs is not possible or formatted. Also, an update of the Bios is not possible, as undercarriage reads no more disks.

  Hi Eltgen

  Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what the problem is on that path. If I understand you well you have built in a new floppy drive, because the old one was faulty. Am I wrong?

  It will be interesting to know is the new part already used. Perhaps is the new one also defective. I hope that a little light is on if you put the disc inside.

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

• PCMCIA card as a serial port RS232 on Satellite Pro 4200

  I think to use a PCMCIA card as a serial RS232 port. The program that I need to use runs under DOS and needs two serial ports. My question is that I need to run the program and the serial port to be recognized by the system. I have a satellite pro 4200 laptop PC series.

  Thank you

  Why on Earth if you want that?
  Your laptop computer with a serial port doesn't have it?

  Well for the serial ports are standard supported on Windows. In a back box that should be no problem.

  But pure back could be a problem.
  I guess you must also BACK drivers for your PCMCIA card...

• Question sleeping on all new Satellite Pro U500-1EX

  Hi guys,.

  I have a new Satellite Pro U500-1EX with Windows 7 64 bit.

  The laptop is having some problems with its function of sleep. I wonder if others have had the same problem - and if anyone knows anything that can be done.

  OK, there are two questions;
  1. when the laptop enters sleep mode - it will come out it its own after a while. He goes to the login screen and wait about another hour before falling asleep. That's when it is plugged into the power - and no LAN.

  2. when I close the lid to put the laptop into standby - and while on battery - after awhile he will supply any. Connect the power supply won't do anything - the power light not at all - which suggests that the laptop don't even note not be plugged. I have to then remove the battery and turn the computer on (thus losing all the data that I had when I put the computer to sleep!).

  So, have you seen this issue with your satellite pro? This is something common and being ignored - or y at - it an easy solution for it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Audette,

  I have the Satellite U500 also but I can t notice any question about fashion 'sleep'. It works perfectly with an OS preinstalled Toshiba and the latest version of the BIOS. Then perhaps you need to update the BIOS as suggested Timox.

  Before you begin the update, close all running programs (also, AntiVirus and firewall), make sure you are logged in as administrator and do not stop the computer being updated.

  By the way: you use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

• Satellite Pro 4200 recognize RAM only in the B slot

  I have recently got a Satellite Pro 4200 and want to increase the memory up to 320 MB.
  To start I bought a 128 MB module and have found that with a 64 MB module in a slot and the 128 MB in the other system only recognizes the module into the connector B.

  Must the modules in the two slots be the same value for the system to recognize them? i.e. the 128 MB or two 64 MB.
  If this is the case its OK but if it's not I don't want to buy another 128 MB module, if the location is unservicable.

  Thank you
  Billabilla.

  Hello

  Wow Sat Pro 42000 is an oldie I didn t think someone using this mobile in the future, I mean it's a great laptop but the performance he is too weak to be present-days.
  As far as I know the Satellite Pro 4200 was equipped with Mobile Intel Celeron 500 Mhz or with an Intel Pentium III 450 Mhz / 500 Mhz.

  Pentium 450 Mhz CPU equipped units can be improved up to 320 MB. All other units can be upgraded up to 576 MB.

  I think that the 64 MB module should not be removed!
  You must use 64 MB + 128 MB or 256 MB or 512 MB (only for models with 500 Mhz processor).

  Hope this helps you

• Satellite Pro 4200 - need help for Windows 95 & drivers!

  Hello! Years ago my mother, I bought a fully functional, great Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 working the place taken sales... Since that day, my laptop has not been used. But now, I found a few games nostalgic childhood of mine, who works only with Windows 95. I wanted to play, and I decided to install Windows 95 to my laptop. The installation process went well, it was a bit complicated at first because of the startup disk and such. But I managed to install a working fully Windows 95 in my laptop! But it gives me only 16 colors and no option to choose the resolution! So I found out that I need to install the video card drivers.

  I have google a bit and discovered that my laptop has chart S3 Savage IX. I failed to find the appropriate drivers for it. Until I went to your site to support canada and traveled for a pilot of similar laptops. I found Windows 95-98 compatible drivers for my card. The installation process was easy, is well past and fine! I then could choose 256 colors and another resolution (which I did not actually change...). I changed the colors and then restarted. Everything went well until windows 95 logo screen came suddenly to the top and after that I only saw colors and black borders. He did not start Windows properly. What can be wrong? At I have download the wrong drivers? Windows told me 2 different versions, IX and MX. I tried them both. Tried to change the Hz also, but nothing helped. Please help me!

  Thanks in advance,
  Jupstejuho of Finland.

  P.S Sorry for my bad English...

  Edit: OH, BTW is the exact version of my OS: Microsoft Windows 95 Finnish b with USB support (I Don t know the version very very accurate actually... but I just mention that it is version B of the operating system.) Could this be the problem? I also tried the same driver downloaded from toshiba europe Web site, but it won't let me just install the drivers 'already installed' and they really are. I did not uninstall them, I tried to run the uninstall utility, but it doesn't work...!

  Hello!

  Maybe chose a resolution not supported?
  This happens to you at all resolutions, or only one?

  Normally, you can download all the drivers on the European site of Toshiba, but I only find Satellite Pro 4220, 4240 and so far but not 4200.

  However, have you tried to do a BIOS update?
  Before installing the graphics driver, you need to update the version of DirectX.
  You can find the Toshiba site:

  Hello

  I didn t find info on Satellite Pro 4200, but I know with certainty that Satellite Pro 4220 can scale up to 320 MB max. The two laptops are identical, and I think that this info is also valid for your laptop.

  Module 128 MB compatible a part PA3005U - 1 M 12 number.

• What is the difference between the Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

  As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.

  I bought a mobo on ebay which was a 4290 and today it happened, but the problem was that there was an apparently fixed CPU, which stands out much less of the Council than that of the Board of Directors 4220 and therefore does not connect with my 4220 cooling mechanism.

  At least something comes on when I start now, but unfortunately he has passed the Toshiba screen that tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.

  Having also spent money on a new CPU and memory, I don't want it let go and I've seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - does anyone know if it will agree with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the motherboard 4220.

  I'm assuming that these may be compatible since I managed to find a pdf of a service manual that covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing, so I don't ' know if that highlights any differences.

  It's frustrating that there's no PDF for these older models, at least with the plug on them, and it is very difficult to find info.

  As usual, thanks for any help!

  Hello

  As far as I know the two series using the Intel Mobile Pentium III with MMX microprocessor? Technology.

  I discovered these details:

  Satellite 4260 series: Mobile Pentium III 450 MHz
  4270 satellite series: Intel Mobile Celeron 500 MHz
  Satellite 4280 series: Mobile Pentium III 500 MHz

  Satellite 4320 series: Mobile Pentium III 600 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology
  Satellite 4340 series: Mobile Pentium III 650 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology

  Portable measures should be also the same. So in my opinion, it should be possible to use the same motherboard for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

• CD stops working on my Satellite Pro 4200

  Hello!

  I have an old 4200 satellite. After years and years of obediently obeying all my requests my mes CD-ROM CD stop working yesterday. I tried to take a look if I can replace it all by myself, but I did not even manage to get the CD broken out of the laptop.
  Anyone have an idea how I can get the drive of the laptop?

  Thanks in advance,
  Fabian

  Hello

  Systems Satellite Pro 4200 is not know me but more often on most laptops the disk is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. If you find any screws so I guess this one must be placed under the keyboard.
  But if you have no a lot of computer experience I recommend to contact Toshiba service in your country. It can give you a few details how to replace the drive.

  I have the drive is dead you will need a new. Please note that not all drives are compatible with all laptop. In this case, you can order a decision-making support and also compatible with the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro 4200: Which is a maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hello, please help. I have a satellite Pro 4200 with a dead hard drive. I can't get a 10 GB hd anywhere. I can only find 30 and more. Does anyone know the size max HD which can be installed in this system? send me an email: [email protected].
  Thank you.

  Hello Jose

  Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. I'm sure that 20 GB HDD will work correctly. If you want to try to call service partner and ask them. They must have this information.

  By the way: as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support the hardware upgrade. This is supported by authorized service partners or independent equipment parts supplier.

  Hello

  Littco said, all the drivers are on the Web site.
  In addition, check if you can install a driver that was designed for ie Win NT or Win Xp. sometimes, these drivers work on W2k operating system.
