• Satellite 2450-201: cannot use TV option after the new installation of the OS

  Hello

  I have a laptop toshiba satellite 2450-201.
  I've always had the TV OUT works well with my TV, use the right cable SVIDEO.
  I was able to watch divx movies in my TV using my computer.

  I had to format the laptop and installed windows XP again.
  After that, I can't use more TV-OUT option, so that the image of the laptop could be seen on television, I've always had.

  Hello

  How do you reinstall the operating system? Have you used the recovery CD?
  Usually after the reinstallation of the operating system from the recovery CD, everything should work properly.
  It is important that you can switch to the TV. In this case, you can use FN + F5.
  If it's not working so I guess that for display devices hotkey utility works or was not installed. Well, the alternative is to pass on the TV via the graphic properties. The TV option, you should find somewhere in the advanced options.

  However, check it and check if you have installed all the drivers.

• Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

  Hi all

  my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

  Thank you

  Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
  According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
  You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

  I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

• Satellite P100-119: is it possible to upgrade the processor to Core Duo?

  I ve a Satellite P100-119 computer laptop with 1, 66 GHz (Core Duo). Is it possible to install a faster processor (2.0 Ghz Duo Core) in this notebook, without Exchange of the motherboard?

  Hello

  Toshiba doesn't usually recommend upgrading CPU and doesn t support these upgrades. Everything you make are at your own risk!
  In this case you will lose the warranty and if something goes wrong you will not get any support.

  Well, some people suggested that it is possible and that works, but I've never tried and cannot give you a 100% guarantee that it will work.

• Satellite P15-S409: is it possible to upgrade the processor?

  Hello, I have a Toshiba P15-S409 I would like to know if the CPU can be upgraded. What socket t - it support and Max speed value?.

  How can I find the specifications.

  Thanks in advance.

  Update CPU is always a sensitive topic with different opinions. I don't know for sure if the CPU upgrade is possible, but I know with certainty that the laptop are not extensible as desktop PCs. P15 is older laptop models and on older models of laptops, 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.

  If you need more upgraded RAM maximum power and optimize the operating system preinstalled.

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Possibility to upgrade the video card or processor?

  Hello

  I wonder if I can improve my laptop so I can run some games (better). I'm sorry if this has been asked before for this model. Here is my card:

  Productnaam:HP PC portable Pavilion 15
  Productnummer:J8D20EA #ABH
  Totaal geheugen:6.00 GB
  APU A8-6410 Processornaam:AMD with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card

  Thank you very much.

  The model number is 15-p053nd. There is unfortunately no way to upgrade. On this model the processor and the video are soldered on the motherboard so that the only way to update something would be to replace the motherboard. A motherboard replacement with a processor and upper specification video card will cost as much as the computer laptop everything worth it and would still need to be installed. Also, you already have a system that is so he has very much put at level square, near the top anyway.

  Hello

  I think you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner).
  The ASP can help you order the right parts.

  Because this laptop is an oldie, I doubt that you get these pieces from an online retailer
  However, google may provide you with some offers if you are looking for unique part numbers

  In any case, all the possible parts could be ordered in service partner as I said above, for me, it looks like an easier way to get these parts.

• How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

  How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

  AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
  You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
  The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

  But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country

  What CPU will be compatible? Pentium 4 3.6 GHZ maybe because there is P4.
  Will this work?

  Hello

  To my knowledge the Satellite 2450 series was delivered with an Intel Desktop Pentium 4 processor.
  The desktop Intel Pentium 4 CPU with Intel SpeedStep® technology and processors to run at one of the following speeds:

  2.26GHz / bus speed: 533 MHz
  2.4 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.53 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.66 GHz / 533 MHz
  2.8 GHz / 533 MHz

  Additional info:
  The processor incorporates a 12 KB of L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache memory memory.

  But as far as I knwn Toshiba does not support updates. You have no guarantee that it will work properly

• Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

  Hello

  IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
  I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

  This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

  The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

  I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

  If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

  My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

  Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

  Help me please, friends.

  Hello

  It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

  I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

  According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
  If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

  I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

• Question about DVD watching on Satellite 2450-201

  Hi, I have a satellite 2450-201.
  and I'm sure that when I had it first I could watch DVDs, s without having to start, only now, when I try this the computer starts completely before it will play, now perhap it did this before but I didn't take so long to start, because there was not much on it to slow it down, what I want to know is : is it possible or just my imagination, if not how to reset it please.
  Thank you in antisipation
  Pete

  Hi Pete,.

  You don't say what operating system you have. To watch DVDs without having to start you would need to have Windows installed MCE. He would use a small area of your hard drive to store the necessary software to allow you to play DVDs without having to start your main operating system.

  If you have XP (Home or Pro), then it is more likely that your startup process now takes longer than before so that you can start your DVD software. In this case check for unnecessary tasks or processes by using the Task Manager and I would also recommend spyware scanning, removing everything you find and run Defragmenter and disk cleanup.

  Hello

  You are right. There is no update available. At the moment where the device was on the market, the card 2 GB SD was not available.

  This device is very similar with 5200 Satellite and you can try to use the SD card of her driver. It should be version 2. 0 2. I really don? t know if this can help, but you can try it.

  Otherwise, I really don? t know what you can do about it.
