• Upgrade Vista on the Satellite U200-126

  I would like to tell my experience with the updated BIOS with my Satellite PRO U200-126.
  I bought this computer last year, this is a Core Duo, not a Core 2 Duo processor. It has been working perfectly with Windows XP Professional.
  All my problems began when I tried to upgrade to Windows Vista.

  I bought an upgrade of RAM, because my computer has only 512 MB. I removed the keyboard and installed the additional memory module... It is ok. I bought a new SATA hard drive 160 GB, to install the new operating system on it. I bought Win Vista DVD. I downloaded all compatible applications and drivers from the TOSHIBA web site. I put the upgrade, so I started.

  The first step was to upgrade the BIOS. My U200 had BIOS version 1.40 installed, and I flashed the computer with version 3.40 available in time on the Web from Toshiba website. I installed the new hard drive and started a new installation of Windows Vista.

  The installation went smoothly. I upgraded to Vista with the patches required to MS and installed all Toshiba drivers and applications in the recommended order.
  It was weird that the Toshiba web site had the drivers for Atheros WLAN card, while the U200 uses the Intel 3945ABG. I skipped installing these drivers. Today, I see that they have been removed from the web site. Good shot, indeed, Toshiba.

  The first thing that I noticed that the ConfigFree and Intel Proset application have been crippled, if compared to those that are available on Windows XP. The ConfigFree Radar, for example, showed that the WiFi network name, not the single Access Points. Intel Proset was not showing the name of Access Points. It's ok - when a WiFi network has only one access point, but the majority of WiFi networks has several access points...

  I learned that it is because Windows Vista manages directly, roaming access points while under XP, this operation has been completed the network adapter and its driver.
  Since all software WiFi for XP (Netstubler's) work doesn t under Vista, the only way I was able to locate access points was by typing a command netsh prompt.
  In my view, that Toshiba should redouble their efforts on their new software WiFi for Vista.

  I was also confronted with other issues, but those issues Vista and not Toshiba. I want to only quote the new Vista network discovery protocol, the NTLM 2, which is incompatible with existing network resources like XP - 2 K based computers and Linux - NAS function. Editing the registry shown on MS Technet for that matter, t has failed. If all goes well, a MS Service Pack, in the future, may solve this problem of backward compatibility.

  I also noticed that the Toshiba power management utility had become a subset of Vista power management, it was more than the very neat screen that I liked a lot. In addition, the default value of mapped Windows Vista power button suspends - and not offshore.

  Next - I noted that the Fn buttons didn't work unless Toshiba Flash Cards have been loaded and activated. I didn t like Flash cards, because they use a huge 50 MB of RAM. This problem has been resolved with a different BIOS upgrade to version 3.50, I found on the Web from Toshiba site.

  Then I started to use the computer. I loved the Aero Interface and the robustness of Vista. I had to disable user account control, since then has been a little too much security, at least for me.
  Then using the computer on battery power, closed the lid, and computer is spent in standby mode. Later, I opened the lid and started working again.
  Here, I realized something was wrong. To make a long story short:
  1. after suspend and resume, the computer will turn off more.
  2. after him suspend and resume, battery life has been reduced.

  It didn't take much to realize it was a BIOS problem. I did a clean reinstall of Vista and the problem remained. I had to physically turn off the computer with the hardware button, because it does not turn off when asked so, but only after an interruption.

  At this point, I put in the old hard drive with Windows XP. The computer started fine, any recognition of the fingerprint was extinguished.
  BIOS upgrades kill association of OS fingerprints, even if doesn't erase the fingerprints of the probe, information stored fingerprints are no longer usable which is from a pint of view security.
  Then, I closed the lid of the computer, and he went to suspend. In XP, the computer with BIOS version 3.50 would not again. It would be rather reset and Windows XP was perform a restart of the recovery thereafter. The Bluetooth radio has been messed up on every reboot.

  At this point, my U200 was not usable on Vista and XP. Toshiba Europe web site doesn't allow you to download of old BIOS, neither Toshiba offers a utility to save the old BIOS before flashing a new. I was ready to send to the home computer.

  Fortunately enough, I found BIOS version 1.40 on the Toshiba US website. It was not exactly the same as I had before because it showed a generic start-up Logo Intel, while my original BIOS showed the Centrino Duo logo. The version and date were OK, and I flashed the BIOS on my computer. He went everything is OK

  With BIOS version 1.40, Windows XP worked perfectly as before. Under Vista, the computer turning off after an interruption / resumption.
  The Fn buttons work properly even with loaded flash cards with BIOS version 1.40 under Vista, the brightness of the screen was not controllable - even from the utility to save energy.

  At this point, I left 1.40 BIOS and XP on my computer. I'll wait for Toshiba release a compatible BIOS back and the MS to release a Service Pack or a hotfix for the problem network.

  At the end of the story, I would like to add a few comments.
  I saw the sale the new U200 with Windows Vista preinstalled Toshiba. The new U200 has a Core 2 Duo processor, so I guess that the motherboard will be somewhat up-to-date.
  I put t have a new U200, but I think that this new version doesn t suffer from the issue of suspension-recovery.
  If anyone from Toshiba is reading this post, I would like to be sent by electronic mail to the original version of 1.40 BIOS that was installed at the factory on my machine, I mean the BIOS showing the Centrino Duo logo colorful start. My email is: antonio.maglione15 (at) libero (dot) it
  Also, I ask Toshiba for check the BIOS version 3.50 on an older U200 with processor Core Duo and provide to the public a compatible version back from the BIOS.

  Kind regards

  Dear Antonio

  Thanks for you long interesting history.
  As you probably know not this forum is just a user-forum user and I'm afraid that you won't find anyone from Toshiba here m.
  Anyway, as you said on the Toshiba page you will find only the latest version of the BIOS and the older versions are not available. This real s. Several months ago, I tried an older version of BIOS for my laptop but without to succeed.
  A hint; The authorized service provider may downgrade the laptop to the old version.

  In any case, I guess many Vista tools and utilities that are on the market are in a first time and updates might solve some strange behaviors.
  I noticed that the BIOS updates are published from time to time. Maybe the next update of the BIOS will provide some improvements.

  PS; Don't download and install the BIOS from other sources. European portable computers to use the BIOS from the Web of Toshiba Europe site!

• Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

  Hello

  The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

  In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

  Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
  But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

  However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
  In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

  PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

  Perhaps this site can help you:

  I hope that I can help you

  I tried to replace the memory with original Toshiba but still blue screen modules. I conctacted service and they say that
  It may be the incompatibility of memory, virus or malfunction of the hard drive.
  After a few days of work on the solution I reinstal my laptop Toshiba DVD and replace the original brief. Now everything works fine.

  I wonder is Kingston memory cause of my problem or somethig else?
  Nobody knows is memory Kingston KVR667D2S5 / 2G 2 Gb compatibile with Toshiba?

  Honestly, the Kingston offers products of high quality and, I think, you are the first person who complains of Rams from Kingston.
