• Question about temperature internal Satellite A300 ND1

  Hello

  I have a question about the temperature of the standards it of ok for my laptop and what is the normal temperature and how can I keep it low?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It's not easy to say what a normal temperature could be.
  The temperature is not always the same and it depends on the use of the laptop.
  Usually, the temperature would increase while gaming or running applications high performance. Why? Because all devices such as the CPU and GPU would focus the heat dissipation and this leads to a higher temperature.

  > How can I keep it low
  Very simply, you can keep still low level, but you can make sure there is enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.
  Also don t use the laptop on your knees etc in order do not obstruct cooling fans.

  It s also advised to clean the fans from time to time using the jet of compressed air. These sprays are really useful and could buy in the stores of different computers.

• Two questions about new Portege R700

  Hi all

  I brought a R7001F7 a few days earlier, there are a few question I hope some of you could help.

  1. the base of the laptop is not level (balanced) and oscillates to right, the rubber foot doesn't seem to be the culprit, don't know if it's badly formed chassis...

  2. the memory status shows 4 GB of available but only 2 GB usable, the speed is rather disappointed, is there a way to improve this? I miss some settings? because it is expected to reach the maximum of 4 GB...

  Did anyone of you met the above question? Since I just brought it, do you think I will return the machine or contact the security team? The problem is, I noticed these question, I am already registered in the machine on the warranty, don't know if I can still get a refund... However, I already transfer all my files system... This is why I would be very grateful if someone could give me some advice here.

  Thank you

  Hello

  In General, you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They know how to act in such situations, especially about Visual problems.

  Can you please tell us what R700 you exactly (R700-xxx). Is 32-bit win7 preinstalled on your laptop?
  More on the use of the RAM on 32 bit OS you can read here - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

  What about the speed of the laptop or the performance in general? It doesn t depend on RAM only. It is very important that the preinstalled OS is properly configured. Original recovery image that you got with your laptop contains many tools and utilities that run in the background and reduce s for laptop performance.

  I recommend checking the applications running (start > run > msconfig > startup) and disable all unnecessary and utility tools. What makes the slow OS is tempro and preinstalled anti-virus software.

  Check it out.

• A few questions about the Portege R100 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Portege R100 of America with 768 MB of RAM, 40 GB HDD, DVD-ROM on the PCMCIA card. I want to renew the Windows XP Pro Notebook by updating the material.

  -How can I update a larger HARD drive?
  -What RAM should I update?
  -Can I upgrade the processor?

  Thank you for your help.

  holger112

  Hello

  You cannot switch the processor!

  You can upgrade the HD, but because it is an interface 1.8 "HD with an ide (50 pin ATA) the best you can find is a 60 GB HD (Toshiba MK6006GAH 60 GB) you can find them on ebay for a reasonable price

  You can easily switch from memory with a module 1 GB pc2700-dimm ddr1 (like kingston or corsair) in replacement of the module of 512 MB to a maximum of 1.2 GB.

  You can buy them everywhere

  Also note:

  install XP on a R100 is not very easy, but you can find lots of information on this forum, as here:

• Re: Question about the CD/DVD player for Portege M400

  I have a Portege M100 - and the CD-ROM drive does not work.

  Whenever I put a disc in I can just hear the motor turn the disc, but the computer is not picking up the drive. Device Manager picks up flawless.

  It doesn't seem to be any firmware for this sorting (or am I wrong).

• Portege M400 - temperature?

  I have a Portege M400 under XP SP2 and during normal use, the temperature is usually between 55 and 65 degrees celcius. To load, the temperature is consistently above 60 degrees, between 60 and 75 degrees celsius.
  I was wondering if this is a normal temperature range - or maybe I was so unlucky as to have gotten a defective processor.

  Jonas

  Hello

  I'm sure you know that the CPU temperature is based on the use of the processor and also the position of the portable computer (on the desktop or on the knees) and how the device can be cooled.

  In my opinion there is no reason to worry. Now while typing this message and listen the the CPU temperature online radio (no activity) is 63 degrees Celsius.

  In any case, I recommend you to update the BIOS on your device. I put t know if you have any info of saw on new update BIOS for M400 under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01KJ0000R01.htm

• 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

  > I have 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.

  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.

• Portege M400 HDD - password and drive upgrade questions

  1. How can I change the hard drive password? the Toshiba utilities allow me to change the password of the BIOS but not the hard drive password

  2. If a secondary hard drive is mounted, it is possible to run the DVD writer as an external Bay? y at - it a connector / converter available?

  3. If Toshiba RAID mirroring is enabled, this speed of disk read time? for example reading speeds could theoretically be doubled by interlacing readings on the two disks - what is the difference of real world performance?

  4. are there restrictions on the internal hard drive?
  I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba (MK1234GSX / 120 GB) and mounted in secondary drive Bay, it works, I cloned the existing overall hard drive and it is even possible to boot from the secondary drive and see both drives.
  However if I replace the internal drive with the new drive, I can see the drives in the bios, but blue-screens of windows at startup: error seems to be that windows does not find the disk...

  When I add the original disk to the secondary drive Bay and start since I also can't get windows to recognize the new drive.
  This doesn't seem to be a simple problem of windows, because windows is happy to start on the new drive in the high Bay, so I ask if there is some restrictions at the end of Windows...

  5 Why have saved my Portege M400 website it says: "sorry, but this product is not available in your region."

  Thanks for any advice,
  Jonathan

  1.) as far as I know the HARD drive password can be changed in the BIOS
  But beware, if you forget or type the HARD drive HARD drive password will be locked and you will not be able to access the HARD disk. In this case, the HD is not more usable.

  (2.) the Ultra Slim bay is a single drive bay that welcomes the reader of CD/DVD or a secondary HARD disk.
  The extension utility from Toshiba Mobile allows the insertion of hot of these modules.
  I found this info in the user manual and following modules can be installed in the Bay ultra slim:
  -Ultra Slim adapter HARD drive Bay: this will allow you to install a HARD drive in option
  -Kit ultra Slim bay DVD-ROM drive or DVD super multi drive kit
  -Disk (SATA) HARD drive kit
  The adapters you will need to order of the ASP

  (3.) I did not notice any differences in speed reading while the RAID has been enabled or disabled. (I used the Qosmio G20 with RAID)

  4.) Please check the manual for compatible HARD drive sizes!

  5.) maybe the M400 is not available in your country or region. But it s only my suggestion

• Question about the temperature of the CPU on the Satellite A100-599

  Hello..

  I own an A100-599. When working on electrical energy, my laptop runs very hot. When windows is idle, the core temperature is about 45 to 55 degrees Celsius. and when winamp goes it is about 50-60 degrees Celsius.

  is this normal? What are your temperatures? can anyone share system temperatures?
  can I send my phone service?

  Hi dude

  Don t worry about temperature of the CPU. Changes in temperature and it is variable.
  The temperature level depends on the use of the laptop and
  the CPU temperature will be higher if some applications are running!

  While it is absolutely not unusual to say 50-60 degrees temperature. It of normal!

  Did you know that Toshiba laptops support protection against overheating? Not?
  You don't have to be afraid. If the temperature is too high the notebook will stop down automatically to avoid overheating of the material. ;)

  Enjoy your nice toy ;)

• Portege M400 - how to remove the condensation of water?

  I received a second hand toshiba portege m400 mail and saw there probably a condensation of water trapped between the external display and touch screen behind her. because the screen in the upper left corner looks whitish. and the sender of the laptop said he wasn't there when he sent it. I have a picture of trapped moisture, for those who want to see it.

  so, I opened the screen by unscrewing. and I saw that most of the moisture is stuck between the external screen glas and one other layer behind him, which I guess, is the part of the touch screen. who looks inaccessible. These 2? the layers form the upperpart of the screen.

  the lcdscreen with all the electronics in this layer, form the lower part of the screen or if you want, cover. This part is now oke. He also had a condensation of water on it and I was able to gently wipe the little moisture of the lcdscreen without problem. This helped a bit with this problem.

  but moisture remains trapped between the part of the touchscreen layer and this layer of glass in the upperpart of the screen/cover.

  hoping to evaporate the moisture, I left the enlightened a bit more open for a day, I broke even the upperpart and the lowerpart of the screen. I applied a little of an infrared lamp, a remote backup heat. anything that did not help.

  * so, how can I remove the condensation of water? *

  * is there a way to remove a layer in the upperpart of the screen to reach the humidity? *

  Hello olekike

  Please don t get me wrong, but I'm afraid, you need professional with this Mr. help as I see that your question is not answered for days now, and I think that nobody here has a lot of experience with this stuff.
  View replacement OK but how to remove the condensation of water on the touchscreen is perhaps too heavy for us.

  I recommend strongly to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. talking with the guys what we can do about it.

• Portege M400 crashes due to overheating

  I have exactly the same problem with a Portege M400.

  After an hour or 2 the fan becomes extremely noisy and the PC freezes. The computer base would become too hot to the touch, and in fact stickers youcef/Microsoft and barcode based turned Brown due to heat.

  The only way to solve the problem seems to be to shut down the PC so 15-minutes and restart.
  When this happens, I usually only outlook running, Norton and a browser!

  This hs happening for about 6 months. I cleaned the fan but this made no difference - anyone know a fix?

  Hello

  If you have cleaned the cooling modules and if this t n helps, then you should get in touch with technicians from the ASP.
  Maybe the laptop it apart and must be cleaned inside.
  It is a very delicate procedure. Moreover, the thermal grease that I placed between the CPU and cooling modules should be renewed.
  After a long period of use, thermal grease becomes dry and is unable to channel the heat created by CPU.

  Last but not lease you must always use your laptop on a table. Use it in bed or lying on his knees. In this case the fan would not get enough air and this leads to a higher temperature.

• Portege M400 and 3.60 BIOS

  Ubuntu Linux running on the M400 and it seems that almost all BIOS version 3.60 prerequisite are broken because there are errors of the quirk on the CPU APIC. Perhaps Microsoft could circumvent the APIC tables broken for awhile but things with Linux is a bit bulky. Microsoft asked to Toshiba for a BIOS update to address these issues and it seems to be fixed from 3.50.

  See here

  Even under Linux not more APIC errors appear. :-) But after the update from 3.60 BIOS splash screen remains active and keeps me to select an option for a boot (grub) multi entry. If the OS is already from the start screen become white first, then gives finally control the operating system. Others see this as well?

  I am able to select something in my Start menu, but it is more guess the start screen is always at the top. Very annoying it :-(

  Another issue I have is that sometimes the system freezes for a few seconds and then continues, nothing to see in the logs when you use a Tablet Ubuntu or Windows XP Home edition. So might be a bug in the BIOS once more. Yet once you are looking for confirmation, other know about this as well.

  Reflash 3.60 a couple of times, but seeing this behavior over and over again.

  Although it seems to be some control fan in 3.60. He does not like a DC9 aircraft, but were still not silent like the 1.80W or the 2.10N of BIOS versions. Nice to see these fan noise changes incorporated in 3.60 and later

  Hi Robert

  I know you hate me, but the fact is that Portege M400 has sticker next to the keyboard and it says something like designed for Microsoft. With short words: Linux OS is not supported.

  If you need help with Linux on Toshiba laptops please check http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/index.html

  Question about freezing is very strange and if you want to check properly install recovery without additional software image. In this case you will have factory settings and clean the preinstalled operating system. If you notice some outstanding questions, you must contact authorized service partner and clarify this point.

  Good luck!

• Protégé M200: Question about Vista TPM and the Bitlocker

  You want to know if I have a TPM chip to launch bitblocker on the M200 using Vista. Just call Toshiba Technical Support - the guy was totally distraught!

  If I don't have a TPM chip, then I can install it?

  Hello

  It is a good question. To my knowledge the Portege M200 does not support TPM but the Portege M400, R400 module and the R200

  But the Bitlocker, which is only available on the Vista Enterprise and ultimate can also be used without the TPM chip but then some functions are not available; for example, the SecureBoot.
  Without TPM only the OS volume encryption is available.
  In this case you can encrypts the entire Windows volume including both data and file system user, the file of hibernation, the page file and the temporary files.

  Using volume of BONE (HDD) encryption an encryption key will be generated. This key will be written to the USB and then the USB is required!

  AFAIK the Bitlocker requires 2 partitions. A partition must be created as needs at least 50 MB primary partition. I recommend a? about 1.5 GB
  The second big partition Vista can be installed.

  After the installation of Vista the Bitlocker must be enabled in Group Policy (units without secure TPM). This can be done using the command 'gpedit '.
  And then under models of administration-> windows components-> Bitlocker bitlocker function can be activated!

  Anyway, there is much information Bitlocker and I think you should also consult the Microsoft Web site for more information:
  BitLocker Windows Drive Encryption step-by-step guide

  I hope I could help a little
