• Upgrade of RAM on my Satellite M40x-231

  I want to update my RAM by adding another 1 GB. I can't find the good memory for my portable M40X-231(Model PSM4XE-03D01WDU) model.

  When I search the site of Kingston he tells me that I need part number. KT3311A / 1 G... However, the image of this model is incorrect (location location is at the centre of the chip). I found that KT3311A - 1 G - AA seems to be the right part (the Guide slot is between 40 and 42 pins) but it is not available in the Kingston brand. I found it in other brands, but they are not recommended by Toshiba.

  Can someone tell what the right is RAM for me please?

  According to Toshiba specification compatible RAM modules for your model are:
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  The listed modules are tested and should work correctly.

• Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

  I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

  What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

  And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
  My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

  Thank you all very much for your help,

  I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

  Then I would try to clarify some things;
  There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

  ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
  ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
  ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

  and so now ;)

  Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

  I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

  Best regards

• Need driver chart for Satellite M40x-231

  I can't find drivers for my laptop, anywhere. I've got Omega drivers now, but I want to use the official ATI drivers. I can not download them from the ATI Web site because see it me back to Toshiba. But Toshiba has not had anything on their Web site. They list even more of the m40.

  How is it, and it is not only to Toshiba, computer manufactures have bad Web sites? Never heard of web 2.0, or something?

  * Oops, it was go in the Satellite, not the pro forum.

  All media of this are tested and it works properly.

• Satellite M40x-231: duration 2:30 load?

  Hello evertbody,.

  I bought a Toshiba Mx40-231.
  But I have a question about the charging time.

  When a battery is completely discharged it took only 2.5 hours to charge the battery
  Is this normal?

  I am also very disappointed on the battery working time: 2.5 hours only in the normal profile of the powersaver and the brightness of the lcd on 1.

  Thanks in advance.

  Yours sincerely,

  Hello

  As far as I know that the battery time is about 3 hours.
  But it is a relative value.
  For more information, please see the user manual. You will find useful information.

• Need your opinion on Satellite P200D

  Hello

  I'm just registered on this forum that I am buying a new laptop computer and have never owned a Toshiba. I looked at the Satellite P 200 d and would like to receive comments, that I also learn to consider another non-Toshiba product.

  What are the General around quality and reliability of Toshiba sentiments please?

• Need your opinion: Satellite A100-049 or A100-998

  I am very close to purchasing one of the above. I know that the 049 comes with Vista, xp support withh 998 which can be upgraded to Vista for a small fee.

  First of all, the 049 comes with 64-bit or 32-bit vista, I can't find the answer to this.

  Secondly, the 998 has a dedicated graphics card, the 049 seems to be more a share. I'm not a player, but you never know. I don't like to burn the dvd, edit some pictures etc. Also abreast of hard drive sizes.

  Since I can get them at a similar price then this isn't a problem, I would be grateful just all opinions with reasons. You can tell me something that I didn't.

  049 A100 is here

  998 A100 is here

  Hello

  > First of all, the 049 comes with 64-bit or 32-bit Vista?
  To my knowledge, Toshiba provides the only notebooks with the OS 32-bit (Vista and XP)

  It seems that the 049 support lower devices: smaller size of HARD drive and graphics card external memory.
  But both cards are not shared-memory graphics cards. It s an external memory.

  In case you I would choose the satellite 998. It seems that this laptop supports the best performance from your hardware.

• Need your opinion on Satellite A110-153

  Hello

  AI? m new here and here? m looking for a laptop. The A110-153 seems interesting to me.
  Could someone give me more information as comments on what are the + and - of the product?
  Also, I saw on a site that has this laptop has 2 hard drives. Is this true? I can't find it anywhere (toshiba.com). Also, I find that strange, I never heard that a laptop has 2 hard drives or disks.
  CA? I think that s too bad that this laptop has an integrated video card.
  What I want to do with the laptop is:
  -Internet
  -Ms office
  -work with images (I have a digital camera and a digital video camera)
  -A small Photoshop

  What? s your advice?

  Hello

  I found a few pictures of the Satellite A110-153 and in my opinion, the laptop is very nice
  The laptop supports the processor Intel Core Duo (Yonah) T2050 1.6GHz and you can upgrade the memory up to 4 GB
  I put t know where you found the information on 2 HDD, but as far as I know there's a single 100 GB HARD drive installed.

  But I found a downside. The notebook support only an Intel 945GM 8-128 MB shared memory graphics card.
  But not don t worry it s strong enough to work with photo and MS office applications.

• Need your opinion on Satellite P100-429

  Hello

  Just a few questions on this laptop until I get it when it comes to £400.

  I especially need school and no games. I am skilled in computer science I need a PC range.

  Beautiful appearance Do Q1), the blue lights in the speakers
  Q2) is like a microcomputer
  Q3) what size is.
  Q4) you have the problem like the fact cracks of the hinges.
  Q5) that the Remote looks like and is at - it a video showing the computer

  Thank you
  Machanic

  1. Yes - very, if you like cars modded or need for speed, or a Mac on steroids (bronze cover, blue lights, harman kardon speakers), then Yes.
  2. you can use it as a desktop computer, the screen is large enough for programming on without too much trouble.
  3 17 inches, you'll definitely need a bag of 17 inches, preferably the new style laptop backpacks with protection against shock, unless you want a pain arm lug around this topic (is not * that * heavy, heavy just irritable).
  4. maybe - but the Toshiba warranty Guys tell me it is being fixed, new reinforced plastic are mounted when I get mine replaced (and probably they will change the models for sale). You can't have the problem.
  5. the remote control is optional - I got one - should I have one? :)

• Need your opinion on Satellite P500-1DX

  Hello

  I think buying a P500-1DX because it looks good on paper but there are a limited number of customers online, so I was hoping that those who have had experience with the laptop could post their comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the machine. I'm mostly multimedia oriented.

  Thank you
  Schlosser

  I've been using Satellite P500-128 nearly 6 months now and I can say that I am very satisfied. I use it primary for my work by using internet and Microsoft Office.

  When I have the time I use it with Skype for conference call with my friends. Cam functionality and the microphone is just great. From time to time, I watch movies and do multimedia usual stuff like connection digital camera for photo data transfer or movies, burns or copy on external HARD disk or DVD media.

  The performance is really good, and so far I have t did not notice any problems with it.
  The display is optimal. I love this screen 18. The sound is amazing and I can just recommend you to buy this machine.

  It is large enough for laptop and maybe not the best for mobile use, but if you want to use it at home for private use and entertainment, it's really the right solution.
  The price is OK and for the price, you will get a piece of hardware.

• Need your opinion on Satellite L300D-11V

  In contemplating this laptop priced at 349 to curries. Main use is word processing, music. I player videos download. eBay and general navigation. Chose this one because of the availability and its construction in webcam and microphone.

  New to all this... are there disadvantages I ve heard Vista these slows down, but you can t get it with XP?
  The price is right? Observations of information please.
  There was so many variations on the Toshiba site, I got a little confused!
  TKS

  I don't know if you can have the Satellite L300D-11V with licensed XP, but Vista with SP1 is almost as fast as Windows XP.
  The Satellite L300D with Vista has enough four power your use with word, downloads, etc.

• Need your opinion on Satellite L350-20F

  Hello

  I was offered a laptop replacement by my insurance, I got the Toshiba P100-160
  and they offered me the Toshiba Satellite L350-20F.
  Is this a good deal? What is the best?

  Thanks Wilf

  Hello

  It is not easy to be realistic. If you use your laptop for the office and the typical daily activities, it's OK and I'm sure that you will be satisfied with it.

  Maybe you should talk with assurance and ask if you can get the money instead of new material.
  Take the money, put a bit of it, and buy the new notebook with the best material and components as best webcam, harman/kardon speakers and so on.
