• Satellite U840-10R: is it possible to delete all partitions + install Win 8

  Hello everyone,

  I bought a labtop U840-10R yesterday and I would like to know if it is possible to delete all TOSHIBA partitions and create a single partition SSD (for windows 8) and another 500 GB for files?

  I met some difficulties to understand how SSD technology is currently used, so if you have information...

  Thank you

  Before you remove anything from the HARD drive, I recommend the establishment of recovery disk.
  The recovery disk allows you to set the system back to factory settings.
  After these disks have been created, you can do whatever you want :)

• How to replace the HDD on Satellite 1130?

  How to replace the hard drive in this notebook?

  Hello

  If I remember well HDD is under the optical media drive. Optical media drive is fixed with a screw that you see above the player. Remove the screw and remove the drive from the Bay.

  HARD drive is fixed, I think, 4 screws (probably black). When the screws are removed you can use two fingers to remove the HDD from the connector plug. I hope you now know how to put the new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Configuration problem of Windows after replacement of HDD on Satellite C650

  Just replaced 250 gig hdd on tosh c650 with a 500 GB hitachi hard drive, reinstalled windows 7 on a tosh disk recovery and get implemented windows could not configure windows to run on this computer material followed by windows could not complete the installation message.

  Tried reloading windows two times, no joy. I'm not that computer savy if someone could help me sort or the disc is not compatible?
  Thank you

  Usually, you should be able to use the recovery disk to install the Toshiba on another HDD image

  But in my experience there is sometimes a problem using this recovery disk if the new HARD disk drive has a different storage size.

  One of the reasons that could come from this format of HARD drive recovery disk and create new partitions. The defined recovery disk HARD drive to factory settings and creates the same partitions that were available on the old HDD.

  If this is the reason for this problem, I advise to use the Microsoft Windows disk rather than the Toshiba recovery disc.

• Replacement of HDD on Satellite L670D - 13H

  Hello

  I plan to replace my internal with a new HD like mine has a lot of bad sector and this force reinstall me my system every two months (bad sectors seems to be located on the C partition where Windows system)

  the current disc is a MK5065GSX, which is hard to find. This is why I would like to know what HD I could buy instead of this model that can be mounted in my laptop.

  My main problem is I want to make sure that I can still use my recovery DVD with my new HD.

  I saw the MK6465GSX is available for sale, but the size is slightly larger than my current one (640 GB instead of 500 GB). I need to buy HD with the same size as my only original so that the recovery work?

  Thanks in advance for your answers

  > So I want to know what HD I could buy instead of this model that can be mounted in my laptop.

  You n t need to buy exactly the same HARD disk that was built in the L670.
  You can use the other HARD disk, but you should pay attention to the the HARD disk controller.
  You need a SATA 2.5 HARD.

  Given that the SATA controller must manage any size of HARD drive, you can also use a 640GO.

This happened almost 2 years ago and today he is out, which separates it from the window of the screen. I had this problem temporarily to a nearby repair shop and was advised to contact toshiba to replace the head of screen. my warranty expired in 2013 and I did not apply to it.

  Can someone advise the best course of action to replace the screen? I live in ealing, London and am able to go to a provider of services close to who would be able to replace it. I like really this laptop and I would like to replace the screen as soon as possible instead of dishing out money on another new laptop.

• Satellite U840-10U - keyboard replacement

  Does anyone know how to replace the keyboard of a satellite u840-u by myself? It seeks to be just stuck but do not know about you. In addition, my keyboard is not backlit, it would be replaced by one of the series U backlit?

  Hello

  As far as I know some models of Satellite U840 was equipped with keyboard backlight.
  But to my knowledge, the keyboard backlight requires extra power connector (CN20).

  I guess not all U840 motherboards support this connector, and therefore the upgrade of the keyboard backlight is not possible.

  With regard to the removal of the keyboard:
  Yes I think the keyboard is stuck to the top box by double adhesive. If you would like to disassemble the keyboard in the top box, the keyboard deform and could not be used again.

  In my opinion you should not try to remove anything. You could void the warranty and could damage other parts. I think that this procedure of disassembly must be carried out by an authorized technician.

• Does not begin with satellite U840-110 - Windows 7 - loop start-up

  Hello

  I have been using a Satellite U840 - 110 portable since dec 2012 on a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. Recently, the laptop was left in standby for a few days. When I tried to start the computer, it froze at the start. So I forced reboot by pressing the power button. After repeating this for a couple of times, he first showed a blue screen. Then, when the computer has been restarted, he showed a black screen with the following message

  "Windows error recovery".
  Windows could not start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
  ...
  ...
  Run the Startup Repair tool or
  Start windows normally'

  I have tried both these options multiple times and every time at the end of the process, he might come back to these same screen. I also tried to press F8 and used advanced and tried Boot Options "not last know good configuration."

  None of this seems to work and I was not able to load Windows. I don't have a backup of my data and can end up losing a lot of vital information.

  Is there anyway I can solve the problem and get the computer to work again?

  Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Is it possible to recover data from the hard drive.

  You can remove the laptop HARD drive and could connect to another computer using USB-to-SATA cart.

  After that, you could insert the HARD disk into the laptop new and could try to perform the Toshiba HDD recovery.
  (F8 - fix my computer - Toshiba-HDD recovery)

  You mean the icon does not appear in the taskbar or what exactly do you mean by + I don't see how much battery power is +?

• Satellite U840 - new installation of Windows 7

  My U840-113 had a hard drive failure, and I did not all backups of the system image.
  I installed a new hard drive (no problem), but go crazy trying to get Windows 7 for reinstall.

  Here is what happened...
  -Install Windows 7 (service Pack 1) via CD/DVD external, accidentally installed the 32-bit version. No problem, but as I started to go to find all the drivers on the Toshiba site, I noticed some 32-bit options were absent.
  -Tried to install the 64-bit version - NOTE, my Windows 7 original release, so before service Pack 1)
  -Initially I got error messages indicating that the CD/DVD drivers should continue. Really?
  -After research, downloaded the drivers on a CD to use as needed. Did not get this message again because I moved the CD/DVD on another port USB (one who had already given this message!)
  -Got if the whole installation, and I get a message "no compatible hardware. What?
  -Tried once again, the same message.
  -Deletion of the Raid on the SSD drive not... no more Raids on anything!
  -Tried once again, the same message.

  So I'm sure that this issue has to do with the Raid drivers.

  What exactly is the 'trick' to do a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit on this machine?

  I'll see if I can get 64-bit Service Pack 1 (on USB!) to try for my next attempt.

  I left the PC at work, while I wouldn't rest up all night trying to get this to work.

  Thank you!

  I checked the specification for your laptop and it was delivered with preinstalled Win7 64-bit Home Premium so I recommend you to reinstall Win7 64-bit. It is fully supported and all the drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
  Please note that you need drivers for Satellite U840 PSU4SE.

  Here, you can also download RAID driver to load before starting the installation of Win7. I imagine that without this driver drive HARD will not appear. Download and save to USB key.
  Generally installing Win7 on this machine should not be a big deal. I did it on U940 without any problem.
  When external ODD is connected start Notepad and press F12. Choose the CD/DVD as first boot device and confirm with the button enter. I assume you are using the original installation of the Microsoft Win7 disc, right?

  Disc should be read and the installation should begin. When you see that the disc is not recognized SATA/RAID load driver and continue with the installation. Create the C partition and choose as location for the installation of the OS. I can't imagine that you will have some problems with it. On my machine, that it worked perfectly.

  When Win7 is completely installed, you begin with the installation of drivers, tools and utilities. Stuf all install them as follows:
  Windows 7 SP1 of Win7
  Chipset SW installation utility
  Intel Management Engine Interface
  Intel driver
  AMD display driver
  Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver
  Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
  Intel USB3.0 driver
  IRSTCreator
  Alcor Micro Card Reader
  Technology of quick start Software Intel
  Conexant Audio driver
  SRS Premium Sound
  LAN driver
  Wireless LAN driver
  Filter driver package Realtek Bluetooth
  Intel Wireless Display
  Bluetooth monitor
  Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
  TOSHIBA Value Added Package
  TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
  PatchFiles PCIIDEREG - 1.2
  PatchFiles TosVolRegulator_1.1

  I hope that everything will be OK.

  Original pilot here on the TOSHIBA page... is too old... and mae AMD driver problem...

  Hello

  > Original driver here on the TOSHIBA page... is too old... and mae AMD driver problem...

  I put t know how help you buddy the point is that the graphics card driver that is available on the page of the Toshiba driver is modified for mobile use and its recommended by Toshiba.
  Usually, you use this driver to make sure that the correct feature for laptop.

  Of course, you can try to use the other graphics card drivers, but in some cases, different version could lead to small different questions: in this case > problem with brightness control.

  However, you can try to install the graphics driver AMD/ATI driver Toshiba UE page but check the driver released for other series of laptop. You might get a more recent version of the driver.

  Brightness last but not the least similar problems could be value added Package update (for Win 7), but also the BIOS update (if available)
