Re: Satellite C855-29N - CPU tips

Hello

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C855-29N model. It was a refurb and was advertised as having an i3 clocked at 2350 m, but he did a b960m. I'm not messing around with the return of what I really like the laptop but I was wondering just on the upgrade of the processor for the i3.

I know that you are not officially compatible it as such, but the i3 - 2350 m example would be compatible with the laptop?

According to the specification of laptop has this model of laptop PENTIUM CPU B960SP inside (original configuration) and I don t know where you got more information on i3.

If you don't like this original configuration best option for you is to return and buy another laptop with your favorite hardware. Update CPU or Exchange is not supported.

  • New hard disk dive on Satellite C855-29N

    Hello

    I have a breakdown of total hard drive with my laptop Satellite C855 - 29N 64-bit Windows. I ordered a new hard drive for replacement. My problem is that although I did back up disks of my damaged disk before it failed, I fear that these disks will not work for the new hard drive.

    I would appreciate your advice on what I need to do to reinstall the operating system and any contact: e-mail, phone numbers or any other useful tips.

    Thank you very much.

    Why not? Recovery media created has no limitation. Many people Exchange original HDD with the most recent or even SSDS. I did the same thing and I installed after Exchange, original image of recovery without any problem.

    Just, without panic. ;)

    Exchange HARD drive, set the BIOS to the default settings and try to install the recovery image using recovery media created.
    If please post comments and do not hesitate to ask if you need help.

  • New battery does not work on Satellite C855-29N

    I bought a battery.

    I put it in to the laptop and the battery light flashes just orange.
    I tried to delete the adapter sector and battery and immobilizes the butter of power for 30-40 seconds before you put the new battery back in once, connect the captain and pressing the power button, but nothing happens. She is all orange blink.

    I made a comparison with the batteries and both have the same numbers and codes.

  • Satellite C855-29N - HDMI Port does not

    It was working perfectly before but now when I try the computer makes noise and seems to connect to the tv but there is no signal to my TV?

    I wonder if it is a driver problem, but it looks more like a faulty connection which means that it is gone forever? :/

    Pressing the function key F4 (Fn + F4) should change the screen output.
    It does not work. Right?

    Could be interesting to know if the graphics update driver / new installation would change something here have you tried it?

    In the worst case, you will need to recover the laptop back to factory settings to check if its hardware or software related issue and I think that the problem of software.

  • Support for virtualization on Satellite C855

    Hello

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C855 29N. I am trying to run the virtualization on it, but running on the following questions:

    VMware Player;
    This virtual machine is configured for 64-bit operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
    This host is not compatible Intel VT - x.

    On the attempt of activation of Microsoft Hyper-V platform:
    Hyper-V cannot be installed. The processor has no virtualization required capabilities.

    The BIOS settings for the virtualization technology configured only for VT - x (another option is "off").

    Even if the laptop was advertised as an i3 - 2350 m, it actually comes with an Intel Pentium B960, which some "Googling" suggests that he does not support VT

    I hope someone can tell me if I have a chance of running VMware or Hyper-V on this laptop I have a small window in which return it if it proves inadequate.

    See you soon

    AFAIK all you can do is change the settings in the BIOS and use available options. No more than that.

  • Satellite C855-1U7 - activity strange fan while playing games

    Hello

    I played fifa14 for a long time, my laptop had the necessarily system requirements to play and my bios is the last, often my fan started working for many, up to 85% and 74ºC cpu temperature, it is normal because of the game, but in some time the fan stops and stops again and restart, restarts again until the game begins to become slowly.

    I already have the game of repair and find viruses, but nothing wrong.

    Pc health monitor indicates that everything is ok with cpu, I also have an external cooler with 2 fans.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you to

    Satellite C855-1U7

    Hello
    Fan activity depends on the temperature inside the laptop.
    But of course the activity described fan (, also, on, off) seems really odd to me.
    However, there are not a lot of options that could be controlled.

    First of all the details of fan activity and the information is stored in the table fan. Table fan is part of the BIOS.
    You could try the BIOS to the default settings and you might check if BIOS can be updated using the new version of BIOS (if available).

    I think you can also try to reduce the CPU performance changing settings in the Windows power options.

    I m wondering why you use external cooling pad?
    It is essential for cooling and the laptop overheating without the use of this external cooling pad?

    Hi Chambers

    It is not easy to say why this is happening. Can you please do a little test?
    Start your laptop and enter the BIOS settings. Leave it for a while and let us know if the same thing happens again.

  • 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.

  • Satellite C855 - 2fc w / Windows 8 - audio/video trolling and buzzing

    For the past week or so I have experienced a problem audio previously unencountered with my Toshiba Satellite C855 - 2fc (windows 8 OS).

    I had the machine since mid-February, but it was only recently that I found that whenever I try to read multimedia files through any player - mainly Media Player Classic with CCCP codecs, VLC and iTunes, but also when streaming video and audio line - everything I watch/listen to will sometimes meet a hum and that for a brief moment it blocks on a time of audio/video of the same way as shown as in this video:

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=CF9Pvdsz0UM
    (not my video or on the same make of the machine, but the symptoms are exactly the same)

    Although it is extremely annoying this happens particularly often - well that the time is not entirely predictable, I've found that when you listen to a podcast, it would occur about every forty minutes - I'll post again after trying time during video playback.

    Whenever it happened I already had the the Task Manager ready and waiting, but so far I have not noticed any jump in CPU or anything whatsoever on the performance tab or anything that would stand out as being abnormal.

    I'm lost as to what to do about it and what could have caused this--suddenly, it started happening so I thought that there might be a possibility of a windows update or some such thing to happen, but while they inspected my audio driver status in Device Manager I saw that the option to go back to previous versions has been grayed out indicating that they had not been modified since I first used the machine, which means one of the indices only I had as to its possible causes has been removed from the list.

    I spend most of my time watching some stuff on my laptop and it drives me crazy so if you help me to solve this problem, I love you + forever +.

    Hello

    Here are a few comments on the youtube page regarding this video, and some people have already solved this problem. But it wasn't always the same solution.

    A user solved this disk defragmentation HARD running and this contributed to this day

    Others used a software called malwarebites pro.
    It seems that this software one causes some delays during which crisscross the audio.
    You have this software?
    If so, uninstall the pro malwarebites check how it will work.

  • The satellite C855 - raised average temperature and fan speed

    Hello!

    I got this toshiba Satellite C855 since March this year. It is only recently that the CPU temperature and the speed of the fans have been worrying me.

    When I'm not playing games or doing a livestream my CPU temp is about 35-40% with the regular 50% fanspeed or not on because she was cool.

    When I play games however the fanspeed is up around 66 to 68% with the central unit was 55-60%

    I was wondering if this is normal? or I have to clean it by taking it apart. If it's the second option then I'm worried because I don't want to damage anything inside. In addition, I'm not bad with the inner workings of a computer.

    Any help or information would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    In my opinion there is no reason to panic. T is the logic which is higher under stress, activity of the CPU and CPU produces more heat. Laptop needs to be cooled correctly, so the sensors that control the cooling fans sign up for increasing temperature and cooling fans run on higher speed.

    There is no reason for cleaning. And one day if this must be done please don t do it alone. You are not allowed to do this.

  • Nothing works without problem on my new Satellite C855-12J

    Hello

    A few days ago, I bought (in-store) laptop Toshiba Satellite C855-12J.
    Parameters:
    -Win 7 64 bit,
    -Intel Pentium 2.2 GHz B960,
    -AMD Radeon 7610M 1 GB.
    -4 GB of RAM,
    -500 GB HARD drive,
    -internet 24Mbps (provider: NETIA).
    -McAfee antivirus (license 1 month).

    After you have installed all the drivers, programs and updates, I saw one thing: nothing runs smoothly, especially the browsers (Opera, IE). But it's not the worst:

    -Games (World of Tanks, League of Legends, CS 1.6, CS: Condition Zero) are late development, but unusual way: there are normal report, stable fps (LoL - 60 frames per second), but suddenly, at random times (more often in teamfights), the game freezes for 1-3 seconds. There are also sound bug in games: even if there is no frost, voice is often trolling ("D-d-d-d-d-doublek-k-k-k-k-kill"). Of course I tried to run all the games in the graphics settings lower.

    -The movies I watch is also very bad also. Very often the screen is freezig for 1-3 seconds, but here its lights up normally. It happens more often in the web players, played movies form HARD drive works a little better.

    Now... What I tried to?
    -installed Adobe stuff - plugins, Activex, Shockweave,
    -installed DirectX 11 and Windows 7 codec pack,
    -tried to run games without background processes,
    -installed upgrading the BIOS (announced by Toshiba TEMPRO),
    -try another internet configuration - WiFi and LAN.

    I downloaded the update - DriverMax. It shows a lot to update drivers, while TEMPRO is silent:
    -GPU,
    -Synaptics driver SMBus by Synaptics compatible with Intel (r) 7 series/C216 Chipset Family SMBus Host Controller - 1E22,.
    -LPC Interface Controller by BYD COMPANY LIMITED compatible with Intel (r) Express Chipset LPC Controller HM76 - 1E59,.
    -PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge (filtered Matrox) of Matrox Graphics Inc. compatible with Xeon E3-1200/2nd generation Intel (r) Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port - 0101.
    d ' others for sound, usb ports, etc.
    Should I try? I'm afraid, is not sure. I need your advice.

    I spend ~ $ 550 on this laptop and I cannot watch movies smoothly or play old and low end games. I know that my hardware is not perfect, but my friends play these games on cell phones really worse and makes me feel angry.

    Waiting for relief,
    OverpoweredCucumber.

    > After you have installed all the drivers, programs and updates, I saw one thing: nothing runs smoothly, especially the browsers (Opera, IE). But it's not the worst:

    The books are already pre-installed and configured for the installation of the driver is not necessary

    Perhaps this happens because the CPU is much sought and the process of the (game) stucks for a few seconds

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite C855-12N with new installed Ubuntu 12.04. My problem stops the system when the power adapter is connected. System stops, but after 3 seconds starts automatically again. Such a problem does not exist when the computer only works with the battery with the AC adapter / CC disconnected.
    I removed the battery from the computer, and this problem when the adapter is connected also exist.

    In addition, just for your information, keyboard is not working properly, it seems that the keyboard has been damaged for example when pulling 'a' letter 'q' appears, some keys don't work. Now I use only the USB keyboard. I would like to change the keyboard for the new service, but if there are other possible damage (. e.g. card mother AC adapter, connection, etc.) more serious problems can occur. Could you give me some advice how recognize the source of damages?

    I downloaded and installed bfdp-20130924160827, then bltstk 20130924152252, as suggested on these forums, but after restarting the laptop, it will load Windows, then restart, then asks to use repair or start windows normally.

    None of these options worked so I have to use F8 know last good config that worked and when the laptop started to the top there was a message about the bluetooth stack with a missing file. I uninstalled battery bluetooth redownloaded and reinstalled but it's same thing.

    Any ideas guys?
