• Satellite P10-873 - no sound after reinstalling windows device

  Satellite P10 873 PSP 16th:-not his Device

  available from the configuration/sounds and Audio devices Control Panel.
  Got the patch KB888111 from Microsoft and installed, still no luck.

  Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong please?

  Satellite P10 is old enough laptop model. I have very good experiences with P20. It's almost the same laptop, but a bit bigger. A friend of mine uses P10 for the job and we have installed WXP Pro using all the tricks of the Toshiba support page. The OS is installed two years ago, and the sound still works.

  If you can not get this to work, I recommend you remove all the important data for the D partition or save on an external device and make the clean OS install. It will be interesting to see if the problem persists.

  By the way: is a connected to your laptop satellite external game controller?
  An interesting solution, I found here.

• ATI Radeon Mobility Core/memory clock speeds - Satellite P10 873

  I have a portable Satellite P10 873 using 64 MB Radeon 9700 Mobility GPU, the base clock is set at 400 and 200 memory. The chip must be run to 450/260 so if anyone from Toshiba is reading this can you tell me if the cooling of the Gpu is sufficient for these speeds (judging by the traces of burning on my thighs could well be unlikely)?

  Is also the 64 MB expandable to 128 MB of VRAM?

  Hi Carmel

  First of all the graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  The graphics card has no own cooling system. Only the CPU has a cooling fan.

  Toshiba recommends to use the graphic driver Toshiba because the drivers are changed and support an overheating protection. In this case the graphics driver controls the heat produced by the graphics card.
  In this case, it s undesirable to overclock the graphics card. If you want to overclock something so do it at your own RISK

• Satellite P10 873 LAN wireless connection

  Hi all

  I have a laptop Satellite P10 873. I just bought a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router and can not get completely connected to the internet via Tiscali (ISP).
  The problem manifests itself in what I can connect to the router and can even ping various sites on the net. But trying to connect to a site using MSIE I just get "unable to connect" rejection page
  In addition, using the CMD prompt, tempting a Telnet session to a web site on port 80 is rejected for example "80 www.bt.com.
  I put all the securities to a minimum without effect.
  I have another laptop that connects and works perfectly with the Netgear/Ticali Installer. I also identically configured MSIE on both machines without success.

  Anyone has any ideas what could be the cause?

  Thanks Mike

  Hello

  Well, do you have Devil WLan configurations?
  If you use the Windows settings you must activate it in the WLAN properties and if you are using a customer this option should be disabled.
  Also, check if the windows firewall is disabled. This option please the good state of market for the wireless card
  Sorry, I put t have other ideas.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10 873: power supply and CPU Overload

  I have the laptop of P10 - 873 for 4 months.
  The problem is that it turns off when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
  I can only work using the battery. When the battery goes out I normally load (with the laptop turned off) and then I use the notebook only with the battery again.
  If I connect it to AC power turns off after 3 minutes!

  I checked the CPU usage when connected to the AC and it seems that the CPU is too important (from 65 to 98% - where it stops!) without running applications other than the process required for the laptop to operate.

  I sent the laptop to TOSHIBA and they returned saying that they have updated the BIOS.
  Unfortunately, the problem was not fixed!

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Hello christina123.

  Sylvain is right. It is not a problem with the bios.
  I think it's a problem with the motherboard.

  Good bye

• Unable to connect satellite P10 - 873 to 802.11 Wlan N Router

  I can't get my P10 873 to work with my 802.11n router.
  The current Protocol inside this laptop's 802.11 g.

  In my view, there is a way to reconfigure the settings, but my knowledge is lacking in this area.
  Everybody out there is able to offer advice, or do I need a new laptop computer?

  Hello

  You can't connect the laptop via a WLAN router 802.11 N because the card wifi does not support this standard WLan!

  As you mentioned the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 G and it's different from 802.11 N

  Therefore, change the Wlan standard in the configuration of the router for 802.11 G in order to connect to the laptop wireless.

  See you soon

• Replace HDD on Satellite A40

  I would like to replace the hard disk of 40 GB on my Toshiba Satellite A40 PSA40C-07VH3. I found that a few IDE 2.5 "drives on Newegg. Is there a size limit, should I be aware of? I'm leaning towards the 80 GB Western Digital model.

  Thanks for your time.

  Hey,.

  Yes, there is a limit of due capacity limitation LBA 28 bits. This means that the laptop supports only up to 128 GB HDD (-online 120 GB is the maximum capacity).

  With other words the 80 GB of HARD drive you mentioned will work correctly if you want or need 120 GB you can also buy this, that s your decision. As you already wrote, it is only important that buy you one with 2.5 and IDE interface that s all! :)

• Portege R700 - DVD replace HDD/SDD

  Hi all

  I do not use my dvd player at all and I would like to replace it with a hdd/ssd.
  Any way to do it?

  Thank you
  Christian

  Hello

  I checked specification for this Portege and can't find any info on this type of upgrade.

  In the past, that Toshiba has offered several models of different laptops with adapter separated from SelectableBay HDD and instead of ODD, it was possible to put the second HARD drive. Unfortunately I think that it is not available for this Portege.

  Have you tried to find some information about it?

• USB 160GB HDD - Satellite P10-304 doesn't see 127.9 GB

  Can someone help please, I bought a new 160 GB Seagate Momentus HDD.

  I put in a USB enclosure and connected, but when I go to Paragon Disk Copy he can see a disc unformatted 127.9 GB.

  If I right click on 'My Computer' and use 'Manage', it says I have a unknown 128 GB drive connected.

  I updated my BIOS to the latest available from Toshiba (2, 00 - WIN) dated 27/04/06 (on the Toshiba site "last updated on 27/04/06"). However, in the information system, he says: "BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V2.00, 28/12/2004", correct version but date looks old? on the site Web of Toshiba the last BIOS (V1.60) is listed as: last modification 15/12/05?

  Does anyone know if the Bios allows more than 128 GB of disks?

  If the answer is no, what are my options? If I go ahead and copy the disk it will work as usual, but as a 128 MB drive? Later if a new Bios is published, allowing disks of large capacity will be the full space available or should I take a disc image, reformat the hard disk and then copy the image (only have a record of this great would mean that I have to use another PC to achieve this).

  Its a real pain, ideas or thoughts?

  Many thanks Tony

  Laptop: P10-304 running XP Home.

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure if it has something to do with the BIOS.
  I think that it s simply a matter of calculation.
  HDD dealers calculate with 1000 and they must calculate with 1024. But the difference is still to oversized

  Please also check the size of the HARD drive in the other sense. After the fixing of the external HARD drive, you could right click on the HARD drive and check the properties.

  BIOS:
  Y, please read the more info section. You'll find info that the 1.60 BIOS update is only for the satellite P10 series models that contain "PSP13E" or "PSP16E" in the model number and version 2.0 of the BIOS update is only for the satellite P10 series models that contain "PSP10E" in the model number.

• Satellite P10 - 873 freezing randomly

  Hi all

  I have a P10 and several times per day on average the machine seems to freeze in Windows XP for 5-10 seconds. During this time you cannot move the mouse or use the keyboard. Often during this time the fan comes into play at its highest level, but the strange thing is it is not always do it when the fan runs at the highest setting.

  The machine made the day 1 and now if she was 8 months old.

  It is not a spyware or virus problem, I use all of the latest drivers and tried to reinstall the software preinstalled without success.

  Anyone else have this problem or knows how to solve this problem.

  I lost a little confidence in Toshibas, my first was faulty and had to go back and am now beginning to regret not trying to fix this soon I am the new replacement, at that time did not really want to go through the entire process of sending another laptop, so decided to live with it.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The fact that fans sometimes go into action during these temporary freezes suggests that intense CPU activity takes place during this period. Fan activity is almost always related to the activity of the UC somehow. Do you have any process or scheduled for execution of routine tasks? I think that Windows Update will check for updates regularly as will of the available ad ware and spyware products =. You can also have a running anti-virus software that seeks to control internet updates available.

  You don't say if you laptop is connected permanently to the internet, but it is possible that some process attempts to locate a suitable COM port and is causing the rest of your laptop to hang until it times out.

  It may well be a case of trial and error to locate the offending process because there will be many background processes present in XP

• Replace HDD SSD Lenovo Y500 Guide?

  Hello everyone I'm going to keep it is as simple as possible. I would trade my HDD in my Lenovo Y500 with a 1 TB SSD. My Y500 has the 16 GB of cache if that helps. I think it's a 2.5 "HDD but what kind. What is an mSata or Sata?

  The physical installation, I can do easily, but what is the best way to backup and transfer things to the SSD?

  I'm pretty decent with computers and I have some knowledge on this operation. I would like to transfer all my SSD HARD drive this includes the OS(windows 8) and all the other necessary components. I would do it with a DVDR that is 4.6 GB I think. It's a brand new computer, so I have no files, docs etc that I have to worry.

  Please can someone answer my questions I would really appreciate the help of the community.

  Please post a guide step by step for me and others to use!

  Thanks a ton

  I found it easier to use an mSATA replacing the 16 GB one with a 256 GB SSD version. It runs at 6 Gbps.

  Windows 8, I have installed from a copy retail DVD instead of imaging on the 1 TB drive. The activation key for Windows 8 is built in your bios. Windows automatically detected 8 mine installed without asking for it and active without problem.

• XPS 8500 - replacement HDD and SSD

  I'm looking to upgrade of storage on my my Dell XPS 8500... My question here is twofold:

  1. I want to replace my current 2 TB HDD (disk storage) with a 4 TB or 5 TB of HARD drive. I will be able to use and see the full 4-5 to? Or is this a case where I will not be able to use the entire disk or will need to score? Y at - it an update of the BIOS that will allow me full access to training?
  2. I am also looking to replace my mSATA 256GB SSD (boot drive) with a 500 GB mSATA SSD... will it be any problem read this disk after installation (plan to do a clean install of Windows and reload my programs)?

  Thanks for your help. Hoping to update soon, but did not buy until I knew what I was getting myself into.

  Its a fairly recent machine with a UEFI BIOS, so it should be good... If you have already upgraded to Windows 10 then your system is already a unit of 10 windows and you should be able to clean the Windows 10 installation on the new SSD. If you haven't you should upgrade now as free upgrade expires tomorrow. #

  You must use the SATA AHCI operation. I assume you have your system already set up this way as you already have a 256 GB mSATA.

• Replace HDD on a Satellite M50-A-110

  Hello

  I just bought a new Satellite M50-A-110, and I wanted to replace the HARD disk provided with the laptop with my existing SSD.

  Unfortunately, there is no way (that I could find) to reach the HARD-drive Bay.
  In previous versions I could replace hassle at all, but here the whole bottom panel is in a piece of plastic that I couldn't remove.

  Can someone help me please?
  Is there a trick to remove the bottom panel that I'm not aware of?

  Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

  Hello

  Well, the HARD disk and memory modules or battery are placed under the plastic cover at the bottom of the unit.
  You will need to remove the cover and plastic to get access to these parts.

  To my knowledge, there are 12 screws that fix the bottom cover.
  Then you could gently remove the lower logic of the top by lifting the edge of the lower part of the right angle.
