Satellite 1800-712: slow after WXP Pro included SP2 installation
Hello
I have a Toshiba 1800-712 and I've recently upgraded the memory with another 256 MB.
Before the upgrade the laptop run very fast because there where loads of unnecessary applications installed. I bought a Windows XP and it installed on the laptop with SP2.
Since then, the laptop is very slow to access the DVD drive and the HARD drive.
He ran before that kind of OK with XP Home, but since XP Professional you cannot watch DVD as they stutter and if play you MP3 in Mediaplayer the possibility is also not in sync with the music.
It seems that there is missing specific IDE drivers or the wrong with those supplied with XP.
I had a glance on the toshiba site, but the drivers only I can find that there is the display and audio drivers.
The motherboard seems to be an ALI M5229 Chipset
I need to restore professional XP and re - install my whole machine with XP Home that comes with it?
I also tried the DVD player to be upgraded to the latest Firmware but that does no change.
She is running in UDMA 2 and I tried PIO and I also had a peek into the Bios with IDE Standard or extra but still the same.
Anyone?

Hi James,
In principle your laptop should also work well with XP Pro installed as it did with XP Home. However, I would be inclined to check in the Task Manager to see what processes you really have running and also make sure that your installation of XP Pro is not make the repeated attempts to access a network or network resources.
Also, I would like to run a disk cleanup and Defragmenter of given that the installation process tends to leave the hard drive in a bit of a mess of the nature of the facility.
The fact that your DVD stutter when playing suggests that there are other CPU activity going on in the background.
Kind regards

Can not remove the virus. Help, please! Satellite 1800-712
Hello!
I am running XP Home edition on a satellite 1800-712.
The computer behaves very suspiciously, closing (disc according to the error messages or bad driver) and weird popups appear from nowhere (your computer is damaged - visit such or such website and we'll fix it for you) without me even a browser.
I reinstalled XP with repeatedly Toshiba recovery disks, but it does not help. The virus or anything like that is always there. What should I do? Everything is saved. I just want to do a thorough cleaning of the hard drive, but the recovery discs don't seem to be able to.
Thanks a bunch!
Hello
If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, the problem must be somewhere else, but not on the software on the hard drive. Maybe the hard drive itself has a problem, and the software cannot be read properly. Sorry, but at the moment I have no idea better.
Good bye

Unable to connect to the Internet with my Satellite 1800 712
Hello
had to reinstall Windows XP Home on my Satellite 1800-712, unfortunately do not have the recovery disc otherwise it would all be ok.
Now, I can't get on internet, I downloaded new drivers for LAN, they installed ok, LAN is set to autodetect, USB wireless dongle drivers installed everything is ok.
In my tray icon (bottom right) shows the networks but with red cross... I get a message saying that wireless networks are within range, click here to see the networks... when I click, Sun protection comes up saying no. networks in range... aarrrgggh.
What can I do, please?Hello
First you need to check if the wireless network adapter appears in Device Manager (expand network controllers).
If the local network adapter is listed and there is no yellow exclamation point, this means that the wireless network adapter has been installed correctly.
Now you have to activate the Wlan switch (somewhere on the side of the laptop) and the FN + F8 key combination.Now Wlan is enabled and you should be able to set it up.
You can use a 3rd Wlan tool part for configuration or specific parameters of Win XP.Check it!

Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive
Hello
I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)
When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)
I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.
I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.
Please help and thank you in advance!
Hello
Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.Good bye

Failed to create the floppy disk to update the BIOS on the Satellite 1800-712
I was given a Satellite 1800 712 with buggy BIOS (power went down while flashing) then now when the laptop is on a sign shows
BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call the repairman)
and so on...I downloaded the latest bios for the laptop, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy, run the *.exe file and a 1.44 MB must be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I am running windows xp nothing happens and if I'm running BACK said "initial mistake.
In the Archives of the bios is a readme. It says that I need to copy files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA. (EXE) on a 1.44 MB diskette. Well, it is not helped either.
Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.
Hello
I found this thread in the forum:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&MessageID=72625The case described in the thread above is very similar to your question.
According to this message that every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in the case of an incomplete process of flashing, the area responsible for in the BIOS flash for the upgrade is never deleted.Generally you should contact the service point in your country for this problem, but perhaps the description in the other thread will help you.
But you know, everything you do is at you own risk -

Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive
Hello world.
I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?
THX, Philippe
Hello
This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
You again is 40 GB.
I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size. -
Satellite M70: How to install WXP Pro without SP with SATA drivers?
I know that this topic is discussed repeatedly,
I get a blue screen when I try to install WXP pro... blah blah blahThe solution is to install the SATA drive.
The problem is that I don't have a floppy drive to install the SATA drive, so what can I do?
Hello
The use of the disk is the best way to install the SATA or RAID drivers.
But I searched a bit on the net and found nLite.
You can use nLite and include the drivers then you do not have to use the
floppy.http://www.nliteos.com/nLite.html

Have you checked you user manual?
In the manual of the user that was preinstalled on the computer laptop m, I found some compatible players. I think that in the manual you you should also find a list of compatible drives.I think that you could use a DVD - ROM SD-C2502 or CD-RW/DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-R2002 / SD-R2102 or CD TEAC CD-224th for training
But I think you should take a look in this document yourself.
Did you know that a compatible player you can order the ASP in your country?
If you order the drive of the service partner you can be 100% that this drive is compatible. -
Upgrade memory on a Satellite 1800 712
Hello
I want to upgrade the RAM on my 1800-712.
In fact, I have a 256 MB PC133 SDRAM.
It is strange that the bus on this type of machine seems to be 100 Mhz!I want to install a Kingston memory in second slot.
Thus, it is mandatory to install any memory of KTT-SO100/256 (compatible as the Kingston Configurator shows), or I can put the KTT SO133/256?
That the second is cheaper, I don't want to install it?
Can you confirm compatibility?Thank you.
Hello
It is recommended to use the module with the same bus speed. No doubt it will work, but in my opinion you shouldn't watch the money just on compatibility and not forget that upgrade parts are not damaged.

Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange
Hi all.
My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.
The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?
If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.
I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.
Any help is appreciated.
Hi Mary,
The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.
Kind regards

Satellite 1800-712 - the processor can be improved?
Hello
I have a 1800-712 and want to upgrade the processor.
Is this possible?
The vehicle currently has Intel Celeron 1.1 GHZ.
If it can be upgraded, until then I go there then?I was not able to find in any threat on this model.
Thank you
IngeHello Inge
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. The only thing you can do is memory expansion. On this path of unity will be vigorously. ;-)
If you need information about the compatible memory module, please write again.

Re: Satellite A500-1 - slow after blue screen
Hi all
I've owned a Satellite A500-1 in a year with no problems at all until a few days ago. When it tuning on it gave me a blue screen of death, and after 10 seconds, it turned blue, so I couldn't read error.
I noticed reduced performance since it happened. Especially when you play games or movies HD, the picture and sound will freeze every few seconds. This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.
I scanned the hard drive and memory errors, but it wasn't everything. Cant someone give me some advice, please?
Thank you
Hello
> This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.
This would mean that the problem is hardware-related and operating system installation seems to be ok, but it could be anything and it s is not easy to say what part is affected.Some parts, you can check yourself like RAM and HARD drive.
http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.http://Memtest86.com/
Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.If both tests cannot find an error, it must be another problem as the motherboard or the CPU. For such a diagnosis, you must contact an authorized service provider. They can help you get rid of this problem. You can find a complete list of the guys here:

Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-1F1 has an i3 processor and I recovered from the recovery disks. A few days later, everything is very slow and the Fans are always at full speed, even at idle and there is no dust when I opened it and I replaced the thermal paste.
All of the Suggestions.
Thank you
Hello
Try to optimize the OS version. Check the startup options and disable all applications that you don't need.
Make sure that all unnecessary applications do not start with the OS. Remove the system from all things, that you don't need.
Play a little with it.
