Re: Replacing disk for Satellite C855-13D

Hi all

The HD in the laptop of my wife made some rattling noise informing us that an inminet accident.
The drive is a Hitachi SK750-640, HTS54756A9E384, CP/N H2T640854S.
She is a bigger HD, about 1-2 t or not.
I saw several models of Toshiba, but they require 5VDC 1.0 Amp or Amp while the Hitachi 1.1 required only 5 VDC @ 700 my.

My concern is whether the motherboard could or could not handle the increased power consumption.
If anyone have replaced the original HD by more, I'll be happy to hear his opinion.

Thank you

Hi Luis

I don't have this model of laptop, but I just want to write my opinion on Exchange of HARD drive.
As I can see disk Exchange HARD on this model of laptop doesn't have to be complicated.
All you need to do is to eliminate large ramdisk HARD cover and you will have full access to the old HDD.

In the past, I traded several HDD on my notebooks without any problem. Different different manufacturers of HARD drive on mobile platforms. I think that 1 TB HARD drive would be OK to upgrade.

I don't know what is important to your wife, but maybe you should think about the SSD upgrade. This could increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly.

  • Replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10

    Hello
    I'm trying to find a replacement battery for Satellite Pro A10, PA3284U-1BRS, 10.8 v original battery, 3600 MAH. A couple of merchants said that it is no longer available and has been replaced by PA3285U-1BRS, the amperage is a little higher at 4400 MAH, but declared voltage is now 11.1 VOLTS. Is this normal, or are they trying to just me to pawn off the coast with something that is really not compatible with the specifications of the original part. I can't find the part for the moment available on the Toshiba site, seems to have been the only way to get a true replacement who would be sure to adapt. Battery wizards there know what would actually?

    Thank you.

  • Lost the disk for recovery of Windows 8 for Satellite C855 1v9

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop (toshiba satellite) 8 original windows pre-installed,
    However, I wanted to repartition my hard drive and without warning I deleted the recovery partition, therefore, the laptop could no longer starts.

    So I asked a professional if he could get my laptop to its original factory condition as it was when I bought it (with 8 pre-installed... original windows) in order to sell it later and he told me that it is impossible since I do not have the recovery disk, and the only way to make it work is by installing windows 7.

    I have lack of knowledge in it staff that's why, I haven't had not to make a copy of a recovery disk.

    Now, as I intend to sell my laptop, I was wondering if there is a possible way to sell me the recovery disk that allow me to back up my laptop to its factory condition (with original windows 8 pre-installed and pre-loaded software of course), and the estimated total costs that I pay.
    PS:

    * My laptop information:

    • * SATELLITE C855-1V9
    • * CORE I5 - 3210M
    • * 2048 MB 1600 MHZ

  • Windows Recovery CD lost 8 for Satellite C855

    Hello

    Thus, on December 18, 2012, I bought a Toshiba Satellite C855
    (Intel Core i5 - 3210 M 2.5/3.1 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Windows 8, USB 3.0, Bluetooth)

    After a while, I put windows 7 on the laptop.
    Now I want to reformat and put windows 8 and put to upgrade to windows 8.1.
    The problem is that I can't find my restore CD.

    There is no windows key on a sticker on the laptop or the box.
    There isn't just a windows sticker 8 under the laptop, but no key.
    I read that I can ask for a replacement CD key, but I have no idea how to do that.

    Hello

    Toshiba UE driver page provides only focused on the Win BIOS version.
    This means that the BIOS update can be run Windows System.

    But I found on Toshiba WE packages driver BIOS page containing both versions.
    http://support.Toshiba.com/drivers

    But the fact is that you will not find a European model of mobile on the Toshiba U.S. driver page.
    So in this case, you will need to find a Satellite C855 we model equivalent to the European model.

  • Compatible motherboards for Satellite C855

    Hello

    I own a Toshiba Satellite C855 - 12K, I've owned for about 3 years, but 2 weeks ago I accidentally damaged the motherboard, while I was cleaning the computer, at first I thought it was the map screen or video that is broken, because it was weird (cutting, 20 seconds after loading desktop, colorful pixel, thin lines across the entire screen) but after 5 times of commissioning , disabling display, I left alone.
    The next day it would not start at all, so I sent it to a really good computer technician, who called me the next day, saying that the motherboard is dead, and that he needs a new.

    When I was cleaning it, I watched a video on youtube, which shows how to open Toshiba Satellite C855-12J or something, (not the C855 - 12K, I) but I noticed that the chassis is the same, the size of the motherboard is the same. That's why I'd love to not put a motherboard C855 - 12K in my C855 - 12K, but something more powerful, with more performance, because I want to play newer games, but I don't want to sell my C855 and buy a new computer, I would upgrade this computer instead.

    So, there are motherboards for C855, who have a better CPU / GPU that C855 - 12 K, if there are, could you show me a list of computers that come with them? Maybe there are motherboards from other computers Toshiba, that match?

    Thanks in advance.

    Because of the design specific notebooks are specific products and, in general, some radical physical upgrades are not possible. Each hardware platform has some cooling system designed for optimal to protect equipment.

    Each laptop model also has specific design and different ports placed at different locations.
    For example, Satellite C855 was offered with 6 different hardware platforms. With other words, with 6 different motherboards that may have different hardware (CPU, GPU, WLAN, BT) but also other ports on the left and right.

    Each authorized Toshiba, but also independent repair shops for laptop, will exchange defective motherboard with the same motherboard model. Some little compatible mothers are not available.

    Motherboard is very expensive, so you need to check the price and see if it's worth paying a lot of money to get it repaired. Four years ago my A300 was electro shock by connecting the external USB device. The repair was extremely expensive, so I sold it on eBay for spares and bought again a Satellite P500.

  • Mouse pad does not work on Satellite C855-13D

    Hi, I have a SATELLITE C855 - 13 T.

    I got the TI monthly and now the mouse pad stopped working. Both the touchpad and and right/left clicks don't work. I managed to connect an external mouse on the USB port that works very well. I restarted the laptop several times and also checked the settings of Control Panel-mouse, which indicates that the device Touchpad works properly. I also checked the option to disable the external internal when device is connected is also unchecked.

    I would be very grateful if anyone has any advice on how to get this working again.

    Thank you very much

    To be honest all you've done is just. You need to check if the touchpad is disabled somehow but if everything seems to be on the last and final test you can do is to install original recovery image and test the feature with the factory settings.

    OK, it's a method more radical but more effective to check the operation of the equipment.

    Please post a feedback about your decision what to do and result about if you try to check with the factory settings.
