• Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8 - upgrade the BIOS CPU support

  Hi there are people.

  I'm wandering if there is a possibility of upgrade of the i5 3230 m which is currently in my Satellite Pro C850 - 1 H 8.

  Looking at the options available in the decision-making FCPGA988 and chipset Intel HM70 there seems to be a variety of the i7 available for use.

  The laptop supports processors with a TDP plu max than 35w?
  The bios supports all the CPU upgrade options?

  Cheers, Nick

  In this forum, you will find various discussions on the theme of CPU upgrade.
  I found this one:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=75073

  Paolo and Macius posted some information about the situation of CPU upgrade.
  As you can read in another thread, the CPU upgrade isn't supported. Updates can be made at your own risk, and no one can say if CPU supported by the chipset would be supported by the BIOS.
  Test it if you want, but it's at your own risk.

• 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: can I use faster and bigger HARD drive?

  So this may seem like a stupid question, but if I intend to spend of the installed 160 GB 5400 RPM HDD of the Satellite Pro A300 1EA to a 7200 RPM drive HARD (do not know the ability yet) and I was wondering how to make recovery disks (downgrade from Vista professional and XP Professional) coming with the work of the laptop with the HARD disk that does not part of factory as drives for my understanding restore the system...

  The size of the drive HARD replacement has something to do with the thing?
  If the replacement HARD drive is also 160 GB system see the difference? And even if it was smaller or larger the system see the difference?

  I have not even bought the laptop but will soon and it is a little urgent.

  Computer thanks Fellows ahead! :)

  * Oh... It seems that this question has already been answered... a little research has ever killed forum person huh... but if someone has vital information about the issue... Please let me know! :)*

  Hello

  I think that he should t be a problem with an upgrade to a faster and bigger HARD drive.
  But before you switch the HARD disk, you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
  After the recovery disk has been created, you can move the hard drives.

  Best regards

• 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!

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2 - HDD upgrade advice

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help as I'm going round in circles. I have a Satellite Pro A300 - 1 2, and I want to replace the HARD drive and install Windows 7, what is the best HARD drive I can get to the laptop?

  Also, what is the maxium of RAM I can install in your laptop.

  Any advice would be great machines running lately and I think that the HARD drive has a bad sector in it.

  See you soon,.

  James

  Best HARD drive? For that matter I n t I answer. You don't have compatible HARD DRIVE but need to better. According to the specifications of the laptop your drive HARD original was 250 GB SATA HDD.
  I have my HDD Samsung A300 inside. Visit your local dealer and buy high quality with 300 or 400 GB SATA 2.5 HARD drive maybe. It will be sufficient, I think. We Toshiba, Samsung or Hitachi HARD drive. Check the price and decision.

  RAM upgrade: your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. no more than that. If you have 2 GB inside buy more RAM of 2 GB module. 2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E - Win 8 upgrade questions

  I decided to update my old Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 PSAG9E-00700TTE Vista to Windows 8.

  After two tries he has been successful. Vista made me mad, and when I decided to give my son, I wanted to work better.

  Toshiba doesn't seem to be willing to support the old models. (over 3 years).

  I can not even find this model code in the lists, the site does not seem to recognize the serial number.

  This is why all the Windows 8 upgrade tools provided are not relevant.

  I met a few minor problems before, but the Toshiba Turkey never replied messages, even those concerning the new products when I considered buying a new laptop. In the end I went for an Asus, which exceeds my expectations.

  I don't expect all support this time either, because of past experience. But I still want to try one last time.

  Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

  > Is there a way to get the material in this workbook in Windows 8?

  Satellite Pro A300 is not that win 8 supported means that you will not find to win 8 drivers for this series, but of course, you can use Win 8 on this unit.

  In some cases, the municipality of Win 7 drivers would be compatible.

  Toshiba tools like VAP (value added package) to win 8 can also be used, but we must look for a Win 8 VAP released for other more recent models.

  Touchpad driver can be downloaded from the page of the Synaptics driver also other drivers like LAN or WLan can be found on chip manufacturer pages.

• Satellite Pro A300 1NT - Possible to upgrade to Windows 7?

  Hello.

  I intend to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1NT, but want to make sure that I can not upgrade to Windows 7 and more specifically the characteristics of touch screen.

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Hello!

  I think that no one can say whether the Satellite A300 compatible with Windows 7.
  Windows 7 is not on the market yet, and I think it will take a few times to release.

  And Satellite A300 doesn't have a touch screen, so I think that you cannot use these features on this laptop.

• Satellite Pro A300-1DZ cannot find HDD after BIOS update

  Hello world

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro A300-1DZ flea market.
  Put a new copy of Windows xp family.
  I then install all the drivers necessary own site of Toshiba and the end of it, I thought that it is perhaps a good idea to update the bios?

  OH DEAR what a big mistake.

  Now the netbook won't start windows.
  So I thought it's ok, I'll just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but he tells me that it cannot find a hard drive on my netbook?

  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm going crazy,
  Could someone tell me please how to fix this? Thanks x

  Hello

  I think the value of the option SATA AHCI and hence Windows XP mode cannot find the HARD drive.
  It's because of the SATA controller.
  You can set the SATA AHCI compatible mode mode mode and this will allow you to install Win XP on the laptop without the use of SATA drivers.

  So, you have two options if you want to install Win XP:

  -> AHCI mode, but you must include the SATA drivers
  Compatible mode-> Win XP installation possible without SATA drivers

• Satellite Pro A300 - How can I change the size of the partition?

  Hello
  My Satellite Pro A300 came with 2 different partitions, and I would like to change the size of the partitions (the data partition is too small).

  Which would affect the recovery tools? Is there proposed formulas?

  Thanks in advance,

  What operating system do you use on your laptop?
  If you use Vista, this document could be useful for you:

  This should normally does not affect the recovery of HARD drive but make sure to burn the disc of recovery if you didn t it yet.

  If you have the recovery disk, you are on the safe side.

• Satellite Pro A300 - cursor is random if the power is connected

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 running Vista Business and my synaptic touchpad cursor started becoming erratic and cannot be controlled normally.

  It is hard to move and it will open programs and the internet, etc. This happens every time power outlet is plugged but normally works on battery. I ran Malwarebytes and AVG 8 scans, but they come without any problem. I restarted mode safe (after a forced closed down) and the problem has always existed.

  Can someone throw some advice on this problem?

  Strange. I never heard a question also and now I can t say what is the reason for this, but I hope that I can help you identify the reason.

  It would be interesting to know if you have the same problem with an external mouse. You can check this please?
  You use the original from Toshiba AC adapter or another?

  Perhaps the problem can be solved if you update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site:

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite Pro A300 - 13 X with Vista Business installed.
  It came with two product recovery discs to install XP Professional.

  Given that I decided just to use XP, I followed the procedure for recovery of product and I am now running XP from the first disc. It seems to work correctly.

  I'm unable to install the second disc and I wonder where it is. It contains 7 application files 001-002-003-004 crc and tpa.

  Anyone know what to do with this drive?

  Don't know what this disc contains or how to install it, but check if everything works and if all programs and utilities are installed, which you had Windows Vista.
