• Satellite 1800-804-drivers for Win XP are required

  The problem is that I can't find the drivers for Windows XP for this model, anywhere.
  Even on the Toshiba site, because all your links are dead.

  I tried to find a solution on the forum too, but I failed.
  Anyone can be useful?

  I tried to install some other model pilots, but that did not work also.
  The main problem is the graphics card driver.

  Thanks in advance. :)

• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

• WiFi (mini PCI) satellite 1800 804

  Hello
  I need WLAN in my laptop. It is 1800-804 satellite. I found somewhere that 1800 has mini PCI slot, but it was mentioned only and I don't know anything more. Can I insert mini PCI WLAN card or am I stuck with PCMCIA? Where exactly this slot and can install this card by myself?

  Hello

  your laptop is a mini PCI slot, but it has not built in antennas. If a mini PCI WLAN card will not work. Use a PCMCIA card.

• Satellite 1800-400 ME upgrade to XP Pro?

  All successful one satisfactory to a Satellite 1800 400 upgrade or similar (384 MB of RAM, 20 GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron) of Win ME?

  Would prefer to upgrade to XP Pro, but pure install 2nd choice.

  If I have the HD format for a clean install, an updated XP version would recognize the recovery CD Toshiba a legitimate copy of the ME - I've heard that there may be problems?

  I have the intention to upgrade the BIOS and collect all the drivers available for this model proposed by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with all the material?

  Toshiba drivers must be loaded in a special order, and that is during or after installing XP?

  XP is likely to be faster or more slow/about the same thing as ME, with above hardware specifications?

  All advice welcome, because I have not upgraded the OS on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem more important than with desktop computers.

  Hello

  I put t not see why Windows XP Home edition should not be working on your device correctly. On this forum I have read many topics where users present on Windows XP Home edition on the old models as yours.

  Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and you will find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

  After installing WXP install display and sound driver first. Then install other drivers of material. The next step is installation of Toshiba stuff:
  Common modules
  Controls
  Energy-saving
  Public services.

  It is important to install common modules like the first.

• Satellite 1800-814 memory upgrade

  I have a Satellite 1800 814 with 256 MB of RAM and have been looking for an upgrade of memory for a while. I used a critical technology for an upgrade of my old Packard Bell 6500 multimedia PC, but they could not help with my Satellite laptop.

  I have now found an upgrade to 512 MB at Offtek, who seems to have a good range of Toshiba of refoulement (2 x 256 MB modules). See the site:-

  http://www.offtek.co.UK/

  Their site States that the max memory for the 1800-814 is 512 MB.
  Anyone has any experience of Offtek updates before I shell out £131,16 Please? If I can count on the accuracy of their information and the reliability of their product?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Looks like Offtek memory is right. And yes it's true 512 MB is the maximum that can use a Satellite 1800. But if your laptop is already 256 MB, you only need a 256 MB module.

• Satellite 1800-804: how to change the standard screen?

  Hello. I'd be very grateful if someone out there could help me. I have a 1800-804 Satellite which I removed the screen and instead connected to a screen size of Compaq and it works very well for the last 12 months so much so that I use it as my main office.

  My problem started when I downloaded a movie and I wanted to watch it on my tv. I went in the set up screen and it goes from 1 to 2 (because told me in this way that would turn screen to the TV screen).
  It was my mistake.

  Now I can't get it reversed back to the normal screen. The on-screen display, it's as if it is in ECONOMY MODE (large icons) that can only make?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Which screen has low resolution? The external monitor or laptop screen?
  I guess you display resolution has been set to the lowest value.
  The resolve you should go in the graphic properties and select the view then increase the screen area and colors.

  Also check the advanced option. In the peripheral view tab, you will find the different options and device monitoring multi section where you can set the parameters on screen LCD/CRT or LCD/TV

  Check it out.

• Satellite 1800-S274: HDD upgrade questions

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1800-S274 P III 1.1 G 512 MB with XP PRO Spanish

  Part c: PS183U-00JRSPNC Serial Nr: 32014957PU
  The keyboard and the OS is Spanish.

  The HARD drive was accident, restart the PC, with a blue windows with the error text impossible to read because it quickly restart again.
  Cannot access the HARD disk also with other means or connected to another PC boot disk.

  PROBLEM 1) what type of disk HARD can I put up what capacity?
  (the original HARD drive is MK2018GAP. Capacity 20 GB 4200 RPM ATA4)
  I read on the net that is perhaps the BIOS accept more than 60 GB or HDD companies other than Toshiba. Is this true?

  In my country, the best ratio price/GB is a 80 or 120 GB 5400 RPM also label of Toshiba.
  I put these?

  Here is a best value of HARD drive:
  Toshiba 40 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK4032GAX)
  Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK6034GAX)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8025GAS)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8032GAX)
  Toshiba 80 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK8026GAX)
  Toshiba 120 GB 5400 RPM UDMA100 (MK1234GAX)

  PROBLEM 2) I can not find my installation CD of Spanish XPpro but my laptop has a certificate of authenticity Microsoft of OEM.
  I contacted Microsoft, they say I have to ask the builder OEM installation with a CD XPpro OEM but there not sure they give me this.
  I don't want to buy a new OS, and I can't restore it because the HARD disk is damaged.

  How can install OS on the new HARD drive?

  My laptop its 6 years if I have to buy the HARD drive and OS XPpro is not a good deal.
  Maybe I can try to install an old Win 2000 pro I have. Do you think that it work on my type of laptop? And readers are available for my type of laptop?

  Thanks a lot for your help

  I also believe that you can use the 60 GB HARD drive for this oldie.

  Please don't be crazy about me, but how you want to install the operating system if you don't want to buy the CD of facilities? If someone give you something for free or what. You can try to order the original recovery media, but in my opinion, it is not in stock, or you can buy the CD of original Microsoft facilities. If you check eBay you can find a used one and have it for little money.

• Satellite 1800-804: how to boot from a USB device?

• Satellite 1800-100 microprocessor upgrade

  Hi!, thanks for this forum.

  Okay, I bougth a satellite 1800-100 four years ago in a shop, here in Spain. I improve my memory with a module of kingston pc100 144 pin with 256 MB. I mounted this module because this motherboard FSB is 100 Mhz.
  Now, my laptop has 384 MB of RAM.

  But, I would like to increase the speed of my 1800-100

  I opened the laptop to investigate the resources inside. I mounted and dismounted several times, CPU Intel celeron 800 Mhz processor. But I Don t know if it is possible to have more information on the characteristics of motherboard'internals. I would like to know which is the microphone the quicker one can get in my book. ¿Celeron 900, 1000, 1100 or more? Where can I get a pentium III 800, 900, 1000, 1100 or more? I didn t see indications or jumpers in the motherboard on the tensions, or speeds and I Don t now if this motherboard determines automatically the voltage and speed when the microphone is mounted. I have 1 or 2 microphones of fastest in the House, and I want to ride in my laptop
  without the risk of burning the microphones or the motherboard. Is posible to find information on our satellite motherboard. I Don t know who is the superior of technology of microphones that are supported in my 100-1800.
  It is the only way to increase the speed, because the chipset is not really good, and cheap nor quick. I think that when someone buys a computer, desktop computer or a laptop, it can receive all the documentation about the inner workings of a computer, so isn´t?

  I m sorry for my questions severals, but I m very intetesred with this problem...

  Thank you all...

  Hi, Rob

  Information about the technical details on his books will be no manufacturer of space available.

  A laptop is high designed compact Machine, which is not

  OK, hard drive and memory are no problem as long as you can catch this part by opening a ceiling with screws.

  So finally, you won't find the technical details of the motherboard is this Forum here, the only chance I have is to talk directly to a technician of Toshiba.

  Maybe he'll tell you a bit about you looking for ;)

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards
