Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

Hey all,.
I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
But for some reason, it does not.

EC which could I missed?

It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

Thanks a bunch for any info.
Kind regards

Hello

I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

  • Equium A110-233: black screen and no HARD disk activity

    Hello

    problem trying to trouble shoot A110-233 for a friend. When you switch on the button lights up, don't have cd activity but no activity of HD and black screen.

    I have a two beeps beep message can not find the error codes to display errors, but I guess that's an error code.

    I tried to connect to external monitor but no output.
    I think that it is a possible motherboard failure.

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    > I think that it is a possible motherboard failure.

    I agree with you that it really looks like a malfunction of the motherboard.
    This could be the worst case because the motherboard needs to be replaced
    The motherboard is on the more expensive laptop parts and I'm sure the replacement would be a costly affair.

    But it seems that the unity of the A110 is not very old. Eventually the warranty is still valid, and everything can be done for free?  :|
    You should definitely contact the ASP in your country to clarify this point.

    Good luck

  • Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

    Hello
    I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

    (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

    (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

    PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

    Hello

    This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

    I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
    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. You can then the HARD drive test.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)

  • Satellite A50-109: after RAM upgrade-> blue screen

    Hi all

    I bought a new patriot 1 GB ram sodimm pc 2700 as an upgrade to my satellite a50-109. After installation of the equipment on the back of the laptop, I had some problems with windows xp bsod (blue screen of death). Errors 0x000000e8. After recording with microsoft, I had to reinstall the drivers... Can someone help me please!

    Thank you
    Alex

    It seems that you are using a module of memory without a name. These modules can malfunction. It s nothing unusual.
    So I use and always buy modules memory Kingston or Infineon brand, for example.
    I have goggled autour and actually ntfs.sys error might have something to do with the fault memory.
    It s whatever the module has been properly recognized in the BIOS. Certain areas of memory may malfunction

    In my opinion, you should check if the laptop will be functions correctly with the modules of memory recommended by Toshiba

  • Satellite 3000-214 - Ctrl key keyboard does not

    Hello

    I started my old Satellite 3000-214 Notebook and suddenly my Ctrl key not working not.
    I tried to clean the keyboard disassemble all the keys to it and clean the grates, without success.

    Can someone tell me where I can get a suitable keyboard: i in Germany.
    It must be an original Toshiba keyboard or is it possible from another manufacturer?
    How can I remove the keyboard of the laptop? What I have to open the case, or is it possible to get it out with a screwdriver or something?

    Thx for any suspicion!

    Best regards.
    Ting

    Hello

    You must use the original Toshiba keyboard that is cared for and compatible with this laptop.
    All parts and devices, you can buy the Toshiba authorized partner in your country. The database complete with ASP in the world, you can find on the page of European support of Toshiba.

    Usually, if you want to remove the keyboard to remove first the thin cover above the keyboard.
    There are two screws holding the keyboard. After the withdrawal of these two screws, you will be able to set the keyboard.
    But be careful; the keyboard is connected with the flat cable to the motherboard.

  • Satellite 3000-214 driver needed

    Hi all

    I'm looking for drivers for my * S3000 *. It is a German model of 2001 GR.
    The Toshiba driver support isn't the Sattelite S-supported model.
    Where can I find them. Unfortunately I can not find my driver CD more. But I need the drivers after
    my new installation of Win XP.

    Thank you

    null

    Hello

    It is very interesting theory that you wrote in your post but I must disappoint you.
    You are completely wrong!

    As a first step, you do not have any laptop's model. Simply satellite * 3000-214 *.
    And secondly This oldie is also supported, but if you have old laptop model, in that it makes sense that it may be entered in the ARCHIVES.

    Then, visit support page Toshiba new http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and by-products type choose ARCHIVE. So search satellite 30xx and you will find.

    ;)

    Good day!

  • Satellite 3000 - X 11: memory upgrade question

    I have a Satelite S3000 - X 11 that I upgraded to 512 MB of RAM (2x256mb modules) more a 80 GB HD to 5 400 rpm Hitachi.
    It works fine, but it sometimes run out of memory physics. According to the Toshiba spec for this machine, it should take 1 024 MB of memory, but everywhere I look (including Crucial) said that 512 MB is the max.
    I found a few modules of 512 MB of the right type, but they won't work?

    Hello

    I agree with danydemaeseneire.
    This site of add-on memory confirms the info;
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=14194&ft=m&St=3

    Satellite 3000 - X 11 handles max 512 MB and you can use the modules SODIMM PC133 144 pins

    After using the restore CD, nothing happened again, any ideas?

    Hello

    Express media player has been installed on the partition of the laptop?
    I can give you a good solution for 100%, but there may be a conflict between the express media player partition and the new partition.
    Have you installed the OS on the new partition?

    Hey Buddy, try to delete the entire partitions in the HARD drive and format the HARD drive completely. Then try to use it again the Toshiba Recovery CD and install Toshiba image on the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

    Hi Toshiba,

    I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

    Someone can confirm or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
    Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

    But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works

  • Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

    This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

    The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

    Thanks again, Rebecca.

    Hello

    My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

    Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

    In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.

    Toulouse,

    Republic of Korea

    > My question is, can I upgrade my current processor with all of the processors on this list?

    Probably yes.
    But the fact is that no one would be able to answer this question because this CPU upgrade isn't officially supported. This means that gift of manufacturers of mobile phone t provide any information on this upgrade and compatibility.

    You can try these updates with your own hands and hope that the BIOS would be able to manage this new CPU.

  • Satellite Pro L630 - 14L - CPU upgrade possible?

    Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
    Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

  • Satellite X 200-line appear on the screen and the computer to stop responding W7

    Hello

    I installed windows 7 a few days ago. I have download all the drivers, but:

    After starting the computer and connecting to windows, if I run an application too quickly (perhaps outlook, google chrome, internet explore explore...), it seems that the pilot does not display (and windows try to restore), and lines appear horizontally on the screen (only have 3/4 left of the screen, the right 1/4 is normal: S). after 30 seconds the screen goes black, and 15 seconds later, a beep comes from the laptop. After that, the only solution is to stop via pressing 5 sec the power :(button

    My graphics card is a nvidia geforce 8700 M GT. I have trid the drivers on the toshiba site (but this is for vista, W7 those not released... for this laptop). It changed nothing, so I download them from the nvidia site (one graduate and Beta 1), same result, it has not changed anyting... (I precise that I uninstall all drivers before reinstalling the new)
    So, I have updated the bios, nothing better.

    I read a solution on the microsoft Web site (for example to remove 5 keys register HKEY_USER /.) DEFAUT/control panel/Desktop and HKEY_CURENT_USER/control panel/Desktop), but these keys did not exist on my system, it couldn't be that.

    So, I'm in the wall.
    Someone has an idea?

    Thank you

    After many internet research, I found an interesting answer, and it was my solution!

    On the nvidia site, you can go the archived drivers.
    For mine (geforce 8700M GT), there are 179, 185, 186 and 195 immediate release. I have download the 179 (oldest), and... everything works great!

    My problem is solved.

    Hope this will help other people!

  • Satellite Pro L20 - I need a new screen and I am unable to find a part number

    Hi all

    My L20 Pro Satt needs a new screen and I am unable to find a screen with number of part corresponding to mine.

    Can anyone provide me with the other part numbers that would fit mine.

    Thank you

    I found only a display for a Satellite L25 Pro but I guess that the two devices are very similar and use the same part of the screen.
    The display part number is K000000620 and it s a 15 XGA 1024 x 768 display.
    http://www.screentekinc.com/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_L25--15-inch--1024x768-XGA-laptop-LCD-screen.shtml

    You also can order the compatible display. You can contact the partner of service allowed in your country to order this part.
    But be aware that the display is one of the most expensive parts of laptop.

  • Satellite A300-1LT won't boot up - white screen & no HARD disk activity

    I had a problem, the touch pad does not work.
    I found on the internet solution to stop computer, take out the battery, wait a bit and try again.
    That's when my problems start.

    When I put the battery back on, I turned on the laptop.
    White screen (nothing happens), led indicators are on (except for the hard disk), cd drive tries to read but nothing happens and the fan is running.
    I tried everything I could find (wait 30 minutes, take out, start without battery battery, etc.) but no luck.

    My lap top is Satellite A300-1lt, and I got 2 months.
    I don't want to take it to the service, unless it is really necessary, because I really need now, I can't wait for weeks until what he returned.

    Please can someone help me out, Im desperate...

    Thanks in advantage...

    Connect your laptop (with battery) to the power supply and leave an hour, try to restart your laptop. If portable starting again let it run until the battery will be fully recharged.

    I hope that it will work properly again. I had a similar problem with my Satellite A300-1LI, and I do this. Laptop now works perfectly with or without adapter.
