• Satellite L670 - 1 DG-can I use a 7200 RPM HARD drive?

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite L670 - 1 DG (out of warranty) and I would change the HARD 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM drive.
  It is technically possible on this machine? Is is necessary to use a Toshiba HDD (or open)?

  Thanks for your replies.
  Laurent

  Of course, you can use and must not be Toshiba HDD.
  The only thing that can happen is that this HARD drive fastest heat producing a bit more where the HARD drive is placed can so be a little warmer than usual.

  All that s.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

  Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

  It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

  There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

  I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

  Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

  Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

  Thanks in advance.

  Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

  In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

  If you have any other questions, please let us know!

• The upgrade memory and HDD on Satellite Pro A300-1EA

  So, I'm new to this forum so first of all Hello to all!

  I plan to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1EA and I came to the conclusion that I need to buy more memory that the thing has already installed (2 048 MB).
  I tried to search for information through Kingston and OCZ, but have not found something solid on what memory modules are supported by the A300-1EA.

  The A300-1EA uses DDR2 800 Mhz type of memory (max 8192MB) instead of just dealing with one module 2084 installed, I had intended to get two of them.

  What I have to buy two identical modules, or can I increase memory by simply adding a module to match installed?
  So if anyone has an idea where I could find on the modules of memory supported, that would be swell! :)

  The other thing is quite the same, but only with hard disks. I found many potential readers than fullfill my needs for a faster drive (upgrade of 5400 RPM / min-> 7200 RPM), but I don't know which ones work with this laptop.

  After all, I'm in the impression that laptops are not so easy on these pieces as desktop computers.

  Thanks in advance!

  Satellite Pro A300-1EA belongs to the series of PSAG9E, and it seems that it was fitted on the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
  As far as I know, that you can improve this laptop 4 GB RAM max so I wonder which tells you something about 8 GB support.
  You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB, and you can use the 200-PIN SODIMM 800 MHz modules.

  But to be honest I don t understand why you want to upgrade if the 32-bit Windows operating system will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.

  With regard to the drive HARD;
  You need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - difficulties in upgrading the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to update BIOS on my new Satellite Pro A300-1EA (PSAG9E-001001EN), requested by Tempro, since version 1.50 to 1.90. The system has completely frozen during the BIOS flash, after waiting for an hour, I decided to turn the power off and pray for the best. Thank God, everything works still, but the BIOS is always v1.50, not been updated. I now read so many posts on the forum about the update of the BIOS of marbled and am now very cautious about subject to any BIOS updates at all.

  My questions are: is there about this particular update and/or with the installation of InsydeFlash problems? The BIOS updates are usually all so difficult that they have better be avoided? What are alternative means for updating BIOS, hopefully less dangerous? Also, could there be potential damage to my laptop that is associated with this is BIOS flash a miscarriage I should know about?

  Thank you very much indeed!

  Monsteress

  You can feel happy, my friend! :)
  I m surprised that your ROM module is damaged or something. In most cases, this occurs if the computer hangs during the update.

  Let me give you some advice. You should only update the BIOS if it of needed or if you have questions-problems with the laptop. You can ignore the messages of TEMPRO if your system is working properly. For example I have never updated the BIOS if my phone goes perfect never touch a running system ;)

  If not, follow the advice posted by Akuma before update you the BIOS to close all running programs, disable the AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.
  On my Satellite U400, I've updated the BIOS without problems.

  Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.

  Hi mate,

  Who said that the Satellite Pro P300 takes supported RAID? AFAIK P300 series don't have RAID controller and in the specifications detailed on the Web from Toshiba site I can't find anything about this

  Satellite P300 it of only possible to use a second HDD if it has a second HARD drive connector. You can check it if you remove the second HARD drive. If you can see a second HARD drive connector, you can use a second HDD.
