Re: upgrade Portege M400 cpu?

Hello
I'm looking to upgrade my portege m400-ez5031 with the fastest cpu, it can handle.
It's now the centrino duo T5600 1, 83ghz.
I think the best is that T7600 is possible?

Jin

I don't know if he can run T7600, but I think you should read your motherboard specifications:

  • Portege M400 - CPU cooling problem

    However, the solution works for only a few weeks. And then (especially if it's hot outside) the story begins again.

    Any suggestions how to solve the problem once and for all? Thank you.

    Hi Greendrake,

    It s really great that you are interested in your Portege M400 and you can remove it. It of really not easy and so this cannot be the people with a lot of experience.

    Anyway, as you know here our forum user s only. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me. I would recommend therefore to contact a service provider authorized in your country. Maybe the guys know this problem or something else or you need a thermal grease special because not all compatible thermal greases all cooling.

    By the way: on the Toshiba site you can find a list of all service providers.

    I hope it helps. :)

  • Portege M400: Is it possible to upgrade processor

    Hi all :)

    I have a Portege M400 with a T2300 and I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor, a
    If so, what CPU are compatible and with what version of bios?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Usually the upgrade CPU or replacement on laptops is not possible or very difficult and risky. It could be possible that the laptop does not start or will not work stable after upgrading the CPU. The overheating could be one of the biggest problems!

    So, really, I do not recommend upgrading the processor! It s not worth risking damage only to get a small increase in CPU performance.

    But if you want to know which processor is supported by the chipset then the following ;)

    The M400 computer is equipped with a processor Intel Core Duo or Intel Core Solo processor. These processors include a mathematical coprocessor, a 2 MB L2 cache.

    The M400 comes with one of the following speeds:

    _Intel core Duo Processor_
    -1.66 GHz (processor number: T2300)
    -1.83 GHz (processor number: T2400)
    -2.00 GHz (processor number: T2500)
    -2.16 GHz (processor number: T2600)

    _Intel core Solo Processor_
    -1.66 GHz (processor number: T1300)

    I hope I could help!

    Greetings and soon my friend :)

  • Portege M400 HDD - password and drive upgrade questions

    1. How can I change the hard drive password? the Toshiba utilities allow me to change the password of the BIOS but not the hard drive password

    2. If a secondary hard drive is mounted, it is possible to run the DVD writer as an external Bay? y at - it a connector / converter available?

    3. If Toshiba RAID mirroring is enabled, this speed of disk read time? for example reading speeds could theoretically be doubled by interlacing readings on the two disks - what is the difference of real world performance?

    4. are there restrictions on the internal hard drive?
    I bought a new hard drive from Toshiba (MK1234GSX / 120 GB) and mounted in secondary drive Bay, it works, I cloned the existing overall hard drive and it is even possible to boot from the secondary drive and see both drives.
    However if I replace the internal drive with the new drive, I can see the drives in the bios, but blue-screens of windows at startup: error seems to be that windows does not find the disk...

    When I add the original disk to the secondary drive Bay and start since I also can't get windows to recognize the new drive.
    This doesn't seem to be a simple problem of windows, because windows is happy to start on the new drive in the high Bay, so I ask if there is some restrictions at the end of Windows...

    5 Why have saved my Portege M400 website it says: "sorry, but this product is not available in your region."

    Thanks for any advice,
    Jonathan

    1.) as far as I know the HARD drive password can be changed in the BIOS
    But beware, if you forget or type the HARD drive HARD drive password will be locked and you will not be able to access the HARD disk. In this case, the HD is not more usable.

    (2.) the Ultra Slim bay is a single drive bay that welcomes the reader of CD/DVD or a secondary HARD disk.
    The extension utility from Toshiba Mobile allows the insertion of hot of these modules.
    I found this info in the user manual and following modules can be installed in the Bay ultra slim:
    -Ultra Slim adapter HARD drive Bay: this will allow you to install a HARD drive in option
    -Kit ultra Slim bay DVD-ROM drive or DVD super multi drive kit
    -Disk (SATA) HARD drive kit
    The adapters you will need to order of the ASP

    (3.) I did not notice any differences in speed reading while the RAID has been enabled or disabled. (I used the Qosmio G20 with RAID)

    4.) Please check the manual for compatible HARD drive sizes!

    5.) maybe the M400 is not available in your country or region. But it s only my suggestion

  • Cannot install Vista Business on Portege M400 - IDE issues

    Hi guys... I am looking for your help.

    I downloaded all the new Vista drivers avaiable from Toshiba in support of the new installation of Vista business on my old Portege M400, that came preloaded with a version of XP Tablet and kept their loan on a CD.

    I also upgraded the version of the ACPI BIOS to the latest available 3.80.

    I insert the first CD of Vista professional and do a boot. (I also have a n upgrade Vista Business CD but I want to do a clean install).
    I go past the first steps and choose Install.
    I am faced with an error message "no disk has been found. "Click on load a driver to provide a device for installing mass storage.

    Looks like Vista is not able to see the IDE drive to the edge and it's a driver problem.

    I touched the "Rescan" button available on the windows installation and another message appears: "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct driver, and then click OK. »

    Currently loaded on the XP: currently loaded poster IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers like Device Manager: "Intel (R) 82801 G (ICH7 Family) Ultra ATA Storage Controllers and primary IDE channel."

    Hard drives shown are: Toshiba RAID SCSI Disk Device LD0

    Pls tell, what new drivers since available downloads of drivers Vista for my model 400 ML PPM40E, should I choose here for my Vista installation recognizes the disk available?

    Hello

    It is very easy to solve this problem.
    If you would look on the page of the European driver Toshiba (Portege M400 section), then you will notice that a RAID driver is available for this model of laptop.

    Impossible to install Vista because it cannot find the HARD drive due to lack of RAID driver!

    You must install the RAID driver first and then you can proceed with the installation of Vista.
    As far as I know the Vista installation accepting the USB flash key you can use this key to include the RAID driver.

    Hope I could give some useful advice.

    Cheers mate

  • Portege M400 and Vista - load PSD ends with crash

    I am an owner of a Portege M400 (PPM40E) and recently upgraded my Vista operating system. All new drivers work very well except for the * TPM *. Here's what's happening.

    There's nothing wrong with the installation of security platform. I can create a disc to ensure personal (PSD), load and unload until the first time I got disabling my computer.
    After each attempt to load the PSD is answered by an accident. Two seconds after the sending of password, I get a blue screen that informs me the source of the problem: * PFN_LIST_CORRUPT *, a memory dump file is created and the system restarts.

    Anyone facing this problem? Does anyone know how to restore data from a backup manually the PSD created? The Restore dialog box does not accept the * .fsb file.

    It would be great if someone could help me with this as I have not 'clear' backup files that I had stored on the DSP.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

    Hello

    I googled a little and found details of error PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
    NFP: Page frame number and describes the sharing of individual images of main memory where the driver running or orders of this application.
    If an application or driver is beyond this scope, then a BSOD will appear.

    Here are a few tips and proposals to solve this problem I found on an external Web page:
    -updated the BIOS and set the default settings
    -reinstall and update the display driver, audio driver, LAN driver, etc.
    -Reinstall the security help,
    -update the Windows operating system

    In the worst cases, this problem could be caused by a malfunction of the RAM, and in this case, the RAM modules should be replaced.

    Sorry, but I didn't find more info on this issue.

  • Portege M400 - frequency FSB settings?

    Portege M400 there spetrum FSB settings? I don't find it anywhere and I need to turn it off.

    Could someone point out to me if the setting exists or not...

    Hi Skochito,

    What you mean with FSB exactly? Front Side Bus of your CPU?

    In this case I can only say s not possible to overclock the CPU. BIOS doesn t offer such options and overclocking can make your system unstable and overheating!

  • Portege M400 - where the memory?

    Hello

    Can someone tell me where on a Portege M400, the memories are hidden?

    However, normally live an elevation using a flap, the memory and good exchanges.
    But anyway I can't find this flap.
    Please, help around.

    Hello!

    I m not a technician phone but as far as I know locations of memory on this laptop are placed under the keyboard. You must also remove the keyboard and the other parties. It's a little tricky.

    I think the best way is that you ask a technician for laptop. They have enough experience to Exchange or upgrade the RAM.

  • Impossible to install Vista on Portege M400 - not compatible with ACPI

    Hello

    I have a toshiba portege m400.
    It has windows xp professional installed SP3 (the former owner he replaced with that of the xp tablet edition - I want to upgrade to vista so I can have the capabilities of the rear shelf!)

    In any case, I have a vista version - a version upgrade Home premium.
    When I try to install it it comes up with the error:

    +' This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed on a computer that supports ACPI. Contact the manufacturer of your computer for an update of the BIOS, or install Windows on an ACPI compatible computer. " +

    When I try to boot from the cd it gets up to when I type in the product key, but then he tells me I have to run this from my current operating system.

    I tried to update the BIOS (it is currently 1.8 and I heard vista needs 2.0 at least). I tried to install the latest driver from the Web from Toshiba - BIOS version 3.2.8 site but it says "this computer is not supported" even if I went through the procedure of choice of type of my laptop and spec and the pilot came on his list.
    Now I'm pulling my hair out.

    Can someone help me please!
    Would be to get a full version of vista (not an upgrade version) work and boot from the cd because it seemed to go further like this?

    Thank you!

    Hi guys

    I think I know how you will be able to update the BIOS

    I read here in the forum that in very rare cases, you have the Toshiba preinstalled OS in order to update the BIOS
    So in my opinion, you will be able to update the BIOS if install you the operating system from the Toshiba recovery disc.
    After installation try to update the BIOS

    After the BIOS has been updated you could install the new Vista

    See you soon

  • Portege M400 - temperature?

    I have a Portege M400 under XP SP2 and during normal use, the temperature is usually between 55 and 65 degrees celcius. To load, the temperature is consistently above 60 degrees, between 60 and 75 degrees celsius.
    I was wondering if this is a normal temperature range - or maybe I was so unlucky as to have gotten a defective processor.

    Jonas

    Hello

    I'm sure you know that the CPU temperature is based on the use of the processor and also the position of the portable computer (on the desktop or on the knees) and how the device can be cooled.

    In my opinion there is no reason to worry. Now while typing this message and listen the the CPU temperature online radio (no activity) is 63 degrees Celsius.

    In any case, I recommend you to update the BIOS on your device. I put t know if you have any info of saw on new update BIOS for M400 under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6A01KJ0000R01.htm

  • Shutdown in Vista with a Portege M400 problems

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M400 (do not know if it is a matter for the Council of vista or portege support plate, anyway). I installed Vista Express Upgrade a few months ago and everything worked fine for a while.
    But over the last 4 weeks, my laptop seems to have a problem when stopping down. No matter if she's just hibernates or shuts down completely, the computer automatically turns itself after being off for about 5 seconds.
    I have to use the switch to turn it off again (and then it stays off). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything and it could be a hardware problem, but my guess is that it has something to do with Vista ;)

    Thank you

    Alex

    Hello

    installed some software or tools/applications/updates? Sometimes, a small update can disrupt the entire system and preventing it from functioning. So, just check what has been installed and it may be useful to install the new bios, maybe update all drivers etc... Make sure that everthing is real and up to date.

  • Portege M400 - Vista installation under the version of BIOS 1.80

    Hello

    I came to the decision to install vista on my M400. I upgraded my BIOS to 3.40. However, I really only want the quiet fan so I was wondering if it was possible to run Vista under BIOS v1.80 and, if so, whether it would impact performance in any way.

    AFAIK Portege M400 (PPM40) is supported in Vista, but I don't really know what will happen with fan and noise. Just testing everything. If you don't like Vista, you can install recovery image at any time again.

  • Windows 7 can't detect the TOSHIBA Portege M400 RAID driver

    I put to level my M400 tablet from Windows XP to Windows 7.

    Questions of compatibility check out, all right. In research I realized I needed to upgrade the RAID driver to a version of Win7. So I downloaded which, from my external hard drive to install to Win7, and installing Win7 can't find it. I tried the same thing with a variant of Vista with no luck. Even through the installation on the hard drive itself, nothing happened. Impossible to get in the tio silent run command prompt, absolutely nothing. I'm back where I throw this computer out of my 4th story window.

    Any help please?

    Hello

    Where did you download the RAID driver?
    Please try to download the RAID driver on the Toshiba site directly. These drivers are pre-tested and should work on your laptop too.

    The older Portege M400 taken Windows 7 isn't supported so in the worst case, you can t use it.
    But normally the drivers should work on Vista so make sure you are using the correct driver.
