Satellite 1800-814-new 80 GB HDD works fine!

For general information:

I recently installed a Western Digital Scorpio 80 GB at 5400 RPM 2 MB Cache 2.5 "HDD 12MS and it works very well.

The old 20 GB drive is now in a case/enclosure and works like a disk external DRIVE for my old Multimedia 6500 office which had only 10 GB.

Which works very well also.

Cool, thanks for the info.
I noticed that many users request a size of HDD supported on various Toshiba laptops.
This info will help our community to gather the necessary training on hard drives compatible.

    Hi all.

    And a second question. This laptop comes with a disc HITACHI DK23CA-20. What would be the largest size of HARD drive, that I couldn't go?

    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 1800-814: where can I order several keyboard?

    I made the mistake to vacuuming my keyboard Satellite 1800-814, a year or two ago.

    Surprised myself how it was easy to suck the letter "T" immediately!

    Found again after having dustily through the residue of "cyclone" Dyson and he re-joint - after a fashion - got to the keyboard using two small flat white inserts plastic clip - on, but I suspect it's a bit that I have not found that the bottom of the letter rises unimpeded.

    Y at - it somewhere, you can get only the letters (pieces of) or I have to buy a new keyboard? If the entire keyboard, it would come from a partner Service or what?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    You can order the keyboard several partner Toshiba service in your country.

  • Satellite 1800-814 stops the heat: how to clean the laptop?

    Hello
    My Satellite 1800 814 seems to stop after using it for 20 minutes, it shuts down immediately, when it restarts, it stops in a minute. I need to leave it for an hour before using again.
    The fan seems to be working: because of the noise, the air coming from the side of the laptop.
    I was thinking about 3 things:
    -Disassemble the laptop to clean it with air, dust may block air to reach the CPU.
    -increase the speed of the fan is - it possible?
    -change the fan (if broken), where this part?
    Any idea?

    Hello

    I think you need to just clean the unit. I have gift? t know exactly, but I assume that this unit is about 3 or 4 years and if the unit is not cleaned in the past, I assume you will find a lot of dust inside.

    If I remember correctly the cooling grill is on the left side. Many users use vacuuming, but I'm not exalted the spirit of this method. In my opinion, the unit must be dismantled and cleaned properly. I have gift? t know if you should do it alone. As you know that laptops are very sensitive units and just small mistake can be due to lack of material.

    Please be careful about this.

  • Satellite 1800-814 failure?

    Got a laptop Satellite 1800-814. More often than otherwise, the machine does not start at startup. Took unit apart and put in fan site slowed down when you press the power button, but nothing else. No HARD disk activity. Only the lights on the front of the unit are AC, stack of amd.

    Thought of h m/c is probably terminal but don't remember how long I got it to see if it is still under warranty or not (it's around 18-24 months).

    On the VERY odd occasion he fired upward (we are talking about a person on 10 attempts and usually when left unplugged overnight) then it goes off well, but crashes after around an hour or two.

    If somebody has got all the suggestions will be happy to know.

    Hello

    European warranty is two years, but if you have disassembled your laptop, I'm afraid there is no guarantee more. Have you used this opportunity to remove any dust inside your laptop? I think that can be very useful. Notebook work softens and much better.

    Can you see the Toshiba logo at the beginning, or come within the parameters of the BIOS? At the end there may be a hardware problem. What laptop again is there some strange noice by the HARD disk activity?

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start after the installation of the software

    Hello
    If I pass on my old Satellite S1800-814, it seems to start correctly: it shows the symbol of "Toshiba", then "Windows XP loading", then the screen goes completely blank, followed by a black screen showing the cursor that I am able to move. The hard drive continues to hum as usual for a few seconds, but then begins to repeat a series of clicking noises, somewhat like a disk that is stuck. The boot process is not still engaged.

    Here's the context: I installed my (old) version of Avid Xpress Pro editing software on my Satellite 1800-814. I managed to install a newer version, even if it does not function effectively, where my attempt to install an older version more closely adapted to the processing speed and the size of the RAM 1800-814. I got the usual warning at the end of the installation program of Avid saying that Windows can be affected if I let the installation ends in letting the computer on. But I pressed the option "continue anyway" (as I've done it before without negative effects). The computer off, but he came in as described above. Please tell me what I broke. Can I ever solve this?

    Thanks for your help.

  • Satellite 1800-814 memory upgrade

    I have a Satellite 1800 814 with 256 MB of RAM and have been looking for an upgrade of memory for a while. I used a critical technology for an upgrade of my old Packard Bell 6500 multimedia PC, but they could not help with my Satellite laptop.

    I have now found an upgrade to 512 MB at Offtek, who seems to have a good range of Toshiba of refoulement (2 x 256 MB modules). See the site:-

    http://www.offtek.co.UK/

    Their site States that the max memory for the 1800-814 is 512 MB.
    Anyone has any experience of Offtek updates before I shell out £131,16 Please? If I can count on the accuracy of their information and the reliability of their product?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Looks like Offtek memory is right. And yes it's true 512 MB is the maximum that can use a Satellite 1800. But if your laptop is already 256 MB, you only need a 256 MB module.

    It seems that this laptop uses a Modem Chip Askey (Lucent)
    I see only one way to use this modem in Linux.
    You must look for the modem a pilot who takes in charge this chip and is designed for the installation of Linux.

    It s very difficult to find the right driver for Linux because there are a lot of different Linux distributions and not all drivers will work.

    Hello Nikola

    I guess that the Windows XP SP2 update is responsible for this problem.
    Well, in this case you must update the Power Saver utility.
    What you can try on the Toshiba site.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Perhaps it is also important to update the BIOS.
    Please check if your device has the latest BIOS version.
    Here you can find the BIOS.

  • Satellite 1800-400: CD Rom is not working / can't use recovery discs

    Hello

    I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

    Thank you

    Hugues.

    Hi Hugh,.

    When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

    If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

  • Satellite 1800-814 does not start if the power adapter is plugged

    Hello
    I have a problem with my 3 year old, 1800-814.
    It all started with the sudden Windows crashes. He ran sometimes smooth, sometimes he just hung up. So I decided to reinstall the laptop. My problem is when it is plugged by pressing the power on button does not start the laptop. Just the green light is on nothing else happens. Sometimes it starts after a wait of 3 or 5 seconds. On battery it starts every time. What can I do? A defect material or just dust somewhere?

    Thank you
