• Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C850

  I found this Toshiba on Youtube video that shows how to replace the hard drive on the C850.
  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=0550V-181d0

  It helped me a lot, because there is NO entry in the user manual on how to replace it and where the hard drive can be placed.

  They show you where is the memory, but not where is the hard drive. WTF? so, this video tells you it's in the same slot for memory.

  Hello

  Yes, I also noticed that not all information can be found in single user manuals.
  However, there are many other sources to find essential details.

  Toshiba Europe youtube channel seems to offer a lot of useful videos to replace the HARD drive, memory or a drive CD/DVD in the different laptop models.

• Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite C series

  Hello

  I want to replace and upgrade my hard drive internal sata, what is the maximum size that I can install which will fortunately be recognized by BIOS / chipset?

  Hello

  SATA controller isn't limited to a specific size of the HARD drive.
  Generally, you can use 2.5 SATA HDD support any size (250 GB, 500 GB, etc.)

  But have you considered using a SSD drive? I prefer SSD drive, even if these discs are more expensive. The performance is much better and believe me; the performance gain will be noticeable.

• Replacing the drive HARD on Satellite P10

  I would like to upgrade from my HARD drive, I have not find how proceed (which screws to remove to the opening of the machine). Where can I find explanations?

  Hello

  To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and optical drive. First you must remove the four black screws that get the aluminum shield covering the HARD drive. After that take it out.

  Gently pull the HARD drive towards the front of the computer to disconnect the system board, and then take it out. The last step is to remove the four screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

  Good luck!

• Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

  Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
  I discovered the net without success.

  A diagram with being usefully etc.

  kind regards J

  Hello

  I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

  When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

  Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

  But if you still have some questions then request.

  Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

  Migration of CS4 breaks the license. That's what 150:30 means. Assuming you are using a Mac.

  You can use the Terminal method to repair the license... but I stress that carefully read you and understand the instructions here before you run it. beginning

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• Replacing the drive HARD Satellite Pro 4280

  I have a SP 4280 and the original hard drive on it does not have earlier. I bought a Hitachi Travelstar 5K 100 40 GB replacement, but I can't seem to make it work. FDisk recognizes the disc as a 40 GB drive and seems to format the drive. However, attempts to write anything to generate results in an error message "invalid media".

  Installation using XP Pro format the drive gives me an error message in the sense of "Windows cannot format the drive.

  I have attached the drive to my PC via a cable of adapter 2.5 "and it seems to work fine. I also use the latest version of the BIOS on my laptop. It is not the settings of 'cable' rider select and 0/1 on the drive.

  Someone knows what the problem is, or that I couldn't do or have suggestions to raise my drive and running?

  Cheers in advance

  Hello

  Your device was shipped with a 6 GB HARD drive.
  In my opinion, the BIOS has a few problems with the recognition of the HARD drive because of the large size of HARD drive. Unfortunately, I put t see any possibility to solve the problem.

• Problems with the graphics card on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I'm not a pro with computers or anything... the problem I have with my laptop is similar to the one in this thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26849&TSTART=0

  I spent half the day trying to figure out if my graphics card is broken, but since I'm a newbie with this stuff, I'm still not sure. :(

  This is what makes my M10. I'm trying to describe the symptoms that detailed as possible, but I'm German, so please excuse my lack of words in some places.

  1. when I turn it on, the laptop goes through the BIOS and give me scrambled BACK-screens and a slightly Warped windows loading bar. There is the consistency check, marked by black bars connecting the top of the screen down. After the audit, the screen goes black and nothing happens, or the screen of will just show me consistency check, do nothing. Be that as it may, I have to turn off the power (I think) and restart the laptop.

  2. sometimes the laptop goes through the BIOS checking & conistency with a few graphical shortcomings. The office is anything but shredded when he gets to the screen of the Windows user. The static method is if serious I don't even know where is the button turn off.

  3. sometimes Notepad starts very well, with the only graphic problem being the windows loading bar. When I go into Windows, the laptop pulls me a blue screen and stops immediately.

  4. sometimes, the laptop works fine for about an hour or two. After I rebooted, I have the same problems listed above, once again.

  5. If I open Device Manager and disable the graphics card, the laptop works very well. I have to lower the screen resolution and colors, but I can watch videos on youtube and everything. Finally, the laptop gets very hot on the bottom and the screen goes crazy again, so I turn the damn thing off.

  I don't know what that means! If my graphics card is broken, the screen should be all static, ALL the time? Not just sometimes more,... could sometimes less be some sort of communication problem between the graphics card and cpu? Please help me with this!

  Another thing I'm not sure about, even after reading the thread I linked above - can I replace the graphics card or not? Everyone said something different in the other thread...

  see you soon,
  Cozmo

  Edit: maybe I will add when I got the screen scrambled and everything. I installed Civilization 4, just to check if my satellite pro can handle, and everything went well for a while. The screen then haywire and I rebuilt my whole system, but display problems did not disappear completely. They were gone for almost a month, and now they are 'back' or something.

  Hi Cozmo

  I'm not a technician but here nobody needs technical knowledge to see that there certainly is hardware problem. I also believe that this problem occurs due to the graphics card. Graphics card is part of the motherboard and it cannot be traded separately. The entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  In my opinion, you have two options: either contact the authorized service provider in your country and speak with them, what can be done, or try to get the motherboard used. If you are lucky, you can find it on eBay. I already bought several hardware components for my old Satellite P10 on eBay.

  Sorry Cozmo but I do not see any other logical solution for you.

  Good luck!

• Can I replace the graphics card on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  Just a quick question about the graphics card in my Satellite pro a100 computer laptop. I heard different stories about this.

  The ATI RAdeon Mobility x 1400 card can be replaced on this laptop. If so how easy it is to do and how I could tell which cards would be compatible?

  Thank you

  MAcca.

  You cannot remove, replace or update the graphics card.
  The graphics chip is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it.
  In addition, the motherboard is compatible only with the current graphics chip.

• Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R700

  Hello

  I just ordered a R700 and hope to upgrade the HARD drive of 320 GB for one SSD OCZ Vertex 2.
  Is it easy to replace the hard drive in the R700? Should I remove the keyboard is a Panel on the back?
  What size hard disk will - 2.5 "or 1.8"?
  A SSD will be simply connect using existing connections, or something else there?

  See you soon.

  According to the specifications of the laptop Portege R700 has 2.5 HARD drive is HDD with SATA interface, so I think that you should order 2.5 SSD with standard SATA connectors.

  HARD drive is placed on the bottom side near the cooling vent and it is fixed with a screw only.

  Remove the screws and HARD drive. You will see how the HARD disc is placed and how it must be removed.
  It's very simple and you can do it alone.

• Replacing the drive HARD on Portege R400

  HI people,

  Can someone point me to a disk for the R400 replcacement? Those listed on www.topazsupport.co.uk is horribly too expensive, of course, I'm looking for a drive 1.8 "standard that fits this model.
  I noticed that the current HARD disk has a female connector while the disks hard most seem to have a male (I say "appear" because nobody seems to actually have real pictures of their readers for me to know)!

  Thank you

  Ferg.

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop has 80 GB 1.8 inch PATA HDD.

  To be honest I don't know what to do, you mean with standard HARD disk. The fact is that you must use compatible HARD drive for your laptop model. According to the specifications of the laptop, you can use disk TOUGH MK8007GAH. In my opinion, you need replace HD with the same model. So you can be sure that everything will be OK. I think also a capacity of 80 GB is sufficient.

  I found nice pictures for you:
  Here is the image of HARD drive
  Here you can see connectors

  At the end, I must say that replacement of HARD drive seems easy but these hard drives 1.8 are more sensitive and pressure on the wrong spot can damage the HARD drive and data may be lost.

  Do you want to replace one?
