Satellite 1800-314-replacement of the CD-ROM disc

We have an old Toshiba Satellite 1800-314 the CD-ROM drive appears to be failing - it often will not recognize a CD, or run the applications of one.

First of all, the CD-ROM drive is not removable, so the laptop must be open. I'm familiar enough with opening, laptops, but in a hardware store or repair is not currently available, I thought I would ask if there is something to know, such as coins out of condition precedent, when I open the case?

I would also like to take this opportunity to replace the old CD with a DVD - ROM drive. But I read that there is a problem with a possible conflict of IDE bus:
[REPLACE CD-ROM DRIVE WITH DVD OF TOSHIBA SATELLITE 1800-314 | http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/page-28372_20_0.html] (Their caps, not mine ;))

Apart from "shorting pin 45 and 47" on the connector, there are other suggestions?

The laptop belongs to my little girl, who will give me + hell + if it is out of use for too long, or worse, break... X (so I would like to correct it at once.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

The fact is that each optical disc drive cannot be used on every laptop. you are right and there is nothing other than the compatibility issue. The assignment of pins is the same for all readers and ratings and because of this, you must use compatible discs only.

The good thing is that Toshiba has listed 6-disc compatible optical disc that can be used with this old Satellite notebook.
All of them are listed in the paper manuals user s. check it out.

  • Update the BIOS on a Satellite 1800-314

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite 1800-314 and I want an update of the BIOS. I did an update of the BIOS on my desk, but never on a laptop. Is there someone who could help me with a manual or something else?

    Hi Antoni,

    I also have a Sat 1800-314 and I could explain how to upgrade a BIOS.

    The first step is to find your current version of the BIOS (in the HWsetup or look you in the BIOS, after turning on the power button, press and hold ESC and you will enter the BIOS), then the next step, go to the Toshiba site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, then click on support & downloads and go to the support home page and look if there is available as your latest BIOS version and download it.

    If the preparation is done and you have to extract the zip file containing the upgrade of the BIOS on a 1.44 MB formatted floppy. Make sure that the PC is connected to the power adapter. Stop, and then turn on the PC. Press and hold the button depending on the layout of the keyboard is located right between the keys Alt Gr and INS pushed until a beep sounds and the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Place the BIOS update floppy in the drive and press any key when you are ready to move forward,"will be displayed.

    Place the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy drive and press a key. FDD access will begin. When you're prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn the AC OFF power off / WE) to restart", remove the disk and turn off the system and turn it on again to restart the PC.

    BEWARE: Info-BIOS-Ce is only for a SATELLITE 1800 314!

    I found this Information on the following site http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com when you go to the Support home page and click on the Knowledge Base. You will find a very good FAQ of the BIOS that contains all the various procedures of BIOS for Toshiba laptops.

I tried to install the Toshiba power settings, defining "when I close the lid, in standby mode", does not.

    Have uninstalled then Toshiba power settings and all the settings of ordinary power in the Panel of 'sleep', etc., but it REST did not return to standby mode.
    I'm tired now.
    Is there a simple solution that I'm missing?

    Grateful in advance for any help!

    Hello

    You know it's very important to install drivers in the correct order.
    The installation of common modules at the beginning is important because some drivers of Tosh need this application to work properly.
    If the energy saver has been installed on the operating system windows power settings will not work.
    Toshiba crash parameters the parameters of Microsoft.

    In addition, please check your BIOS preinstalled. Compare the version with the BIOS on the page. If your uses of the unit the old version, so try to update.
    But be careful. You must use the good BIOS and the right procedure upgrades.

    Hello

    If you can get it on eBay the same drive, it will work with your laptop. Alternative check the user manual. You will find a list of compatible spare disks and don t forget that not all drives are compatible with all laptops. But the drives listed in the user manual are compatible.

    AFAIK for notebooks with IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can use hard drives 120 GB.
    But in the worst case, you can use a 40/60 GB model.

  • Satellite 1800-314 memory problem

    Hey everybody.

    I just bought an old Satellite 1800-314 (Cel 1.1 GHZ, 256 RAM, 16 MB graphics card) from my college and I tried
    the parameters of this model using the AIDA 32 program.
    To my surprise to read RAM showed only 148 Mbps - slower than the Pentium MMX 166 test and the writing of RAM showed only 51 MB/s-more slowly then K6 266.
    Any applications, such as games (too old) works very slowly.

    What can be a reason for this?
    And what is DMI problem?

    Thanks for help

    Hello

    There is the original memory built in Notepad?
    Seems to be something with the RAM or the motherboard is wrong!

    But it is very difficult to find a solution!

    In my opinion, you should backup your data and do a restore. After the recovery of finishing procedure install a few different benchmarks and test if the RAM is now faster, isn't.

  • Satellite 1800-314: upgrade of memory and CPU

    Hello everyone,

    I'm interested in upgrading my old satellite 1800-314.
    Does anyone know the upgrade of the maximum for this machine processor?
    It does support only pc100 or pc133 memory modules?

    My idea is to upgrade from the origin to a Celeron 1.4 or even a Pentium III Coppermine Celeron 1.1 / Tualatin processor and add more 256 MB machine.

    Thanks in advance,

    André

    Hello Andrew

    Upgrading the CPU is not possible. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

    Expansion memory is not a problem. You can use PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25) memory module.

  • Satellite R850-18W: replacement of the device map LAN with Intel centrino 6235

    Dear members of the Toshiba forum.
    First of all excuse me for my bad English because my native language is Dutch.

    I recently bought my third Toshiba laptop Satellite A R850-18W.

    I already bought an original adapter replacement for the card Atheros AR9002WB wlan.
    Change the adapter in the notebook is easy, I've done it before.

    The only problem is, I couldn't get the bluetooth works so I put the original Atheros card in my Satellite R850. Everything is working, wifi and bluetooth.

    But I want to buy a router with the possibility of 5 GHz band and take advantage of the speed less sang band of 5 GHz. That's why I bought the Intel centrino card 6235.

    I need help in how to get everything working as it should.

    Should what software I uninstall to avoid problems.
    Do I need to uninstall the drivers for the Atheros card first?

    I think and I hope that it should be possible to make such a minor change in the configuration of this laptop?

    I guess that it is not an easy way, while Toshiba has also laptops were they use the Intel centrino advanced-N card 6235. I was hoping some sort on a driver easy software installation and connection of Toshiba software.

    Hope someone can help me with this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Not very good if you will be able to use this Intel Centrino WLan card.
    There is a similar threads on the Intel Centrino Advanced 6230 n and the other user was unable to activate this card
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65338

    That's why I recommend talking to your dealer if it s possible to return this kind of wireless network card if there is a compatibility issue.

  • Satellite M70-337 - replacement of the main card

    Hi, can any 1 tell me. is the K000033860 new Toshiba Satellite M70 computer laptop motherboard
    the same TOSHIBA EQUIUM M70-173 card MOTHER K0000333860.

    where can I get a list of cards that will fit the Equium m70-337.
    Thank you

    I think it's the same thing. As far as I know Satellite M70 was offered with two hardware configurations:
    -Satellite M70 with PSM70E part number and Intel graphics card
    -Satellite M70 with PSM71E part number and ATI graphic chip

    Your laptop must be identical to PSM70E so I m 99.9% sure it's the motherboard even if you can use it.

A few days ago, I was working on a document when an internal click under the keyboard led to a split screen and test color lines appearing on the monitor. Only led restart it happen again after the start-up phase.

    The screen now shows what looks like a staircase in the middle of the screen with imagesrushing tear down one side and static vertical coloured lines on the other.

    Any ideas, suggestions welcome.

    Replacement of the GPU is not possible.
    If the GPU is dead, the motherboard with the GPU must be replaced.
