  Hello!

  (1) how much RAM I can install on them? Says card 128 MB, but what if I update to bios?
  (2) and what the installable maximum capacity of HARD drive? In the other forum, I found 4030 with 10 GB of HARD drive, but I think that this is not the limit.
  (3) to 4030 CPU installed in the MMC1 location, what is high CPU of the page who might be working there? In my dead laptop battery pack and the two 10.8V. Then I bought every new battery Toshiba and replace them?
  It is not bootable USB 4) in two books. How can I solve this problem? If I buy PCMCIA SATA or USB controller will boot them?
  (5) I take a look at the inside in my laptop and I found two small rounded cells in 4030. What are doing?

  * Satellite 2550 CDT *.

  -max RAM 192 MB
  -compatible memory modules:
  PA2060U 32 MB
  PA2061U 64 MB
  PA2062U 128 MB
  -power options:

  Official statement is 4 GB HDD for Satellite 2550CDT and satellite 2590CDT 6 GB HARD drive.
  It is not easy to find these info, but maybe you can use 10 GB of HARD drive. I don't know about you.
  The BIOS update has nothing to do with it and new version of the BIOS is not designed to increase the values of upgrade hardware, but to correct serious problems.

  According to the specification of the computer laptop Satellite 2550CDT has Celeron 366 CPU and Satellite 2590CDT Celeron 400. Both processors have the same bus clock I presume that you can upgrade the processor Celeron 400.

  With disk HARD is the same. Official statement is 4 GB. You can try to install 10 GB. I have not found information on processors. He is almost 11 portable model and to pick up some info relevant is nothing but mission impossible. ;)

  Try to contact the nearest authorized in the hope that they can help, but, to be honest, I'm not sure they're going to waste their time with these oldies.
  --------------------------------------------------

  (4) there is nothing to fix, because it isn't a feature not work type. These oldies can't boot from the USB port. And how you want to enable the PCMCIA port work like port bootable? Forget it.
  (5) the RTC battery and spare battery
  (6) maybe using PCMCIA card with USB 2.0 ports

  Good luck!

• Update disk on the Satellite 4030CDT

  Hello!

  First "Sorry!" for asking such a stupid question.

  I've Googled, manuals, forums, eBay... but nowhere find an answer exactly. I have an old laptop Satellite 4030CDT. I want to change the old 4, 3 GB of hard drive for a bigger to use it as an MP3 player and musicvideo in my bathroom.

  Can what type of hard drive (space) I use? Is it possible to use a higher than 40 GB HDD? The latest version of the BIOS is installed but I have found no info on higher disk space. Hope someone could help me.
  Thank you and greetings from the Germany

  Hello Mich

  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much info on this old laptop model. According to some info on the net this laptop was designed in 1999 and you must understand that there is not much info on these books.

  I don't really know what is the capacity of HARD drive max, that you can use, but if you need it for music I think only 20 or maybe 30 GB should be enough and I hope that the full capacity will be recognized correctly.

  20 GB hard drives are more expensive and you can get n eBay for little money. Buy one and test it with your good old classic.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite 4030cdt has a white screen but external monitor works properly

  Hello
  I have the following problem.
  My boss give me a Satellite 4030cdt laptop because the screen was white and because he was old.
  The rest of the laptop works very well so I want to make 100%
  But sometimes I see a bit of an image at boot and sometimes a bit of Win xp.
  Half of the screen and then "working" and after a while the screen turns white.

  Hello

  According to your description there is certainly some malfunction of the display. If everything works with external display, this means that you might not suspect graphics card. The display must be replaced.

• A few questions on its use with the Satellite 4030CDT

  I'm not very computer saavy. We have an old satellite 4030cdt. My son wants to use it to access the internet. What should I get to this point? We have the possibility to connect to internet wireless in the House with another laptop. In addition, the screen is not complete on the laptop. How do we get an extension on the screen. We tried to do it via the control panel and settings but us will not change it.

  Hello

  Maybe you should first check all the components in the Device Manager and make sure the drivers are installed. It will be interesting to know what operating system is preinstalled on this old notebook. Please let me know.

  If I remember well that laptop has no LAN card. Am I right about that? If yes then I recommend to buy the PCMCIA LAN card. Install properly and you can connect to your router and enjoy Internet at full speed.

  To be honest, I don't know what you mean with the larger image on the screen. Perhaps you should choose the standard screen resolution lower resolution screen, but on this laptop is 1, 024 x 768 and I think it should be OK.

• Care about disk HARD of Satellite 4030CDT

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite 4030CDT. It runs under Windows 98 SE.

  I would like to upgrade its default disk (4 or 6 GB, I don't know now) to something bigger, so I can install Linux next to the existing Windows partition.

  Can anyone here give me the specs should I look for in a new drive? Thermal or limitation of power, I should look for?
  All versions of the BIOS should I put up-to-date? (one of my friends said that if the BIOS is old enough (this computer was purchased around 1999) then it does not take in charge the larger disks).

  The two changes I've done with it so far are:
  1 update the BIOS to the latest version from last year, to make it possible from the CD.
  2 installed 128 MB of additional memory, so now he has 192Mo (as I understand is the maximum possible).

  Thank you

  -Amos

  Hi Amos

  You are right on the RAM. For this unit 192 MB of RAM is max.

  As much as I know there is not any specification of maximum size of HARD drive that can be used for this device. This kind of solutions providers HDD are competent. Please take a few information on the net and you will find specific information on this subject.

  I found on this HARD disk a single seller in my country has 20 GB and 30 GB HARD drive for this model of laptop.

• Satellite 4030CDT - traction of screen

  Do not know if I m in the right section...
  I have a laptop second hand satellite 4030CDT and screen has no traction and will not itself upward.
  None of the dealers have them an idea like I m on an island in Spain!

  Anyone know if I can fix myself with the right tools?

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Rebecca,.

  It seems that if friction depends on your laptop have been allowing the screen/lid to fall rather than hold its position.

  Unfortunately, it won't be easy for you to fix it yourself. You will need to get a new hinges and then strip dwon Notepad in order to install them.

  I would recommend that you contact an authorized Service Agent Toshiba.

  Best wishes

• Satellite A100: Dead battery + Random closures

  Hello everyone

  I'm having some trouble with my Satellite A100 after taking in a service center and I hope you can help.

  One of the brackets holding the button broke on my laptop so I took it to a service center to replace. Once I come back the laptop I noticed that the battery was completely dead and that my laptop stops after about 20 minutes of playing any kind of video game. I thought that the judgments must be an overheating problem, so I cleaned the fan with compressed gas however it made no difference. What is strange about closures, it is that the fan does not work at high speed until the computer shuts down, and according to a temperature probe, I downloaded that the internal temperature is not greater than 55 degrees. I tried my friend's battery in my Toshiba and it worked, so I know that it's just a dead battery and not a motherboard problem, but I mention that the two problems occurred at the same time and in some sort could be related. I have no idea what is the problem and I can't take to service center because I am currently a student in Finland and cannot afford to be without my laptop for a week.

  Thank you for your help.

  Ned.

  Update: I just upgraded my BIOS from 2.0 to 5.1 and had a mistake on the first boot: 0251: checksum CMOS bad system - default configuration used
  I hit F2 paged through the BIOS settings, then straightened and everything was fine. Should I worry about the error? Or is it normal for the first start after an upgrade?

  Hello

  1.) judgment of problems:
  I'm a bit confused of m.
  Was the laptop connected to the power adapter when the bottom is closed?
  You said you used another battery for laptop you and it worked. So in my opinion, there is a problem with your battery
  Try to replace and check if it works

  (2.) the system CMOS checksum bad:
  It s nothing unusual. The same thing happened to me after that the BIOS updated. I simply set the BIOS settings by default and everything was fine
  Don t worry

• Satellite L630 dead after BIOS update

  Hello

  I have a problem with a Toshiba Satellite L630 laptop model PSK00E-017019EN (British model).

  An analysis of software Toshiba recommends an update of the BIOS and that I had a few problems with the laptop, I decided to let it run... big mistake!

  The laptop will now not enter bios is effectively dead.

  I downloaded different versions of the crisis Phoenix Recovery Disk (that will build a bootable USB key with MINIDOS. SYS, PHLASH16. EXE and a generic BIOS. WPH) and have also downloaded the latest version of the BIOS on the toshiba site.

  The downloaded BIOS Toshiba is an exe SL630_L635_WIN_B140.exe file that will extract the following files using WINRAR (I tried also pick up the files in %Temp%, after you run the exe with the same result).

  The files that I get are:

  BB10140. FD (4170kb)

  Ding.wav (104 KB)

  InsydeFlash.exe (764 KB)

  iscflash.dll (1760 KB)

  iscflash.sys (14 KB)

  iscflashx64.sys (23 KB)

  and platform.ini (9kb)

  I expect to see the real bios in the form xxxx.rom or xxxx. WPH so that I could add this to the bootable flash drive to reflash the bios.

  So my real question, can someone direct me to where I can download the correct BIOS. ROM file for this laptop and also where I can get the right version of the software Phoenix crisis Recovery Disk.

  Also could you confirm the correct key sequence to start on crisis Recovery flash drive... I've seen talk of the F and B FN FN (both used without battery and plugging in the adapter, then power button / stop)... the FN routine F seems to start the Flash Player, but obviously without the right file WPH will not solve the problem.

  Thank you

  Phil

  To be honest, I don t think that BIOS ROM module needs to be replaced.
  In my opinion the ROM module must be flashed again using a special disc of crisis of the BIOS.
  I recommend you contact Toshiba service and pay a small fee for the flash ROM module.
  It is much better solution to handle the motherboard.

• Satellite A350 dead - motherboard, graphics card fail AGAIN

  Hello, this is my second problem with my Toshiba Satellite A350, and, honestly, I don't think I'll buy one of toshibas in the future. Allows from my first problem. I've posted it here: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074 | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=170074#170074] warranty repair gots a month. Yesterday, I turned off my toshiba and today he's dead, I mean that nothing happens after clicking on the button / STOP. Same POWER leads is not brilliant, are not from radiators, nothing happens at all. When I put the provider in notebook power cable, power supply unit led is shining and full-charged battery led shines too - so it is not the power supply problem. I'm pretty sure that it is motherboard crash once again, can someone just confirm that? :)

  I have to send it for repair under warranty once again, but it's clear to me that to happen again and again after any repair until the warranty end - before the first repair, he had a lot of problems with the graphics card - laptop has been hung up for awhile and after that he was communicating Windows 'video driver did not. ", but he got the device again. After repair, it was happening again, not as often as before, but it was, so I think that it is not only motherboard problem.

  I heard that after 3 repairs, I should get a new notebook from Toshiba. Is this true? I think I am done with this :(

  Hello

  I'm so sorry to hear you have these problems with this laptop nice Mr. I have same Satellite A300 and I am happy that my works well.
  Anyone here on this virtual path can confirm anything, but according to all the information that you have posted I believe the motherboard is dead. Please contact new service and explain the situation. Sorry, but this is only on the right path for handling in this situation.

  Talk with the service people, ask why this happens and I hope they will have a reasonable explanation. To be honest I ve ever heard talk about this with 3 repairs, but you can talk with service.

  Good luck.

• Satellite M100 - dead display / replace the GPU

  I had my motherboard replaced under warranty in 2007 due to a broken USB port. 3 months later I started having intermittent problems with no display on the screen during startup. Now these are the death completely. called tech support and I tried using the external monitor... still no display, they said, most likely the ATI GPU was dead... the saddest is what is no longer covered by the warranty, even if the mothboard has just replaced.

  Anyone know if I can replace just the 1400 Radeon ATI GPU? If this isn't a replacement motherboard part number?

  Hello wongie

  I can say with certainty that the replacement of the GPU is not possible. The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it cannot be replaced separately.
  Unfortunately, the motherboard part number is unclear to me. It is not easy to get the info.
  But you know exact model laptop and it can help.
  You want to buy a new or maybe used one on eBay?

• Upgrading OS and HARD drive on my Satellite 4030cdt

  Can someone tell me if there is no limitation on the size of the HARD drive in a 4030cdt?
  Also, problems with different brands of HARD drive, etc..

  I plan on upgrading from Windows 98 to XP, I know that of not the fastest machine in the world, but I use it as a backup on my desktop and it would just be easier with XP. I have 192 MB of ram (the maximum I think).

  Thank you
  David

  Hello

  I know, that this device was shipped with 4 GB HARD drive size. I m not 100% sure, but I think that it of possible to work with the 7-10 GB of HARD drive. However, you can try to contact the service partner for more detailed information. They have more experience in this case. In addition, the memory of 192 MB should be enough if you use your device as backup media.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite A210 dead after that BIOS crashed

  Someone please help!

  During BIOS update computer laptop (toshiba satellite a210) spontaneously restarted.
  As the record on the controller was not performed (if I understand correctly) is now a laptop is not included.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi mate

  I m afraid. I have bad news for you.
  The laptop needs a help of ASP.
  The module ROM BIOS has to be flashed again and this can be done by ASP in your country. The technician would use a disc of crisis of BIOS that allows to get the laptop back to life.

• Satellite M115 - Dead fan

  Hi all.

  On Friday of last week, my laptop started to beep and it was sounds that looked a lot like hard drive failure. As I was preparing to transfer the data, I realized that the fan had not come at all. It the kick on, but just barely, the stench of failure of the engine gets in every good way.

  Sorry for the hike, but does anyone of you know how I would go about replacing the fan?

  Replacement fan is not a complicated procedure, but requires some skills. If you decide to replace yourself, this site can help you

  Note that if you don't find an exact model, look at others. Most of them are similar. Also, be careful with disassembly, will be better if you use protective gloves.

  Hey Buddy,

  It seems that the BIOS is damaged and it must be reflashed to an authorized service provider. This is a delicate procedure so these tools can t be downloaded and are only available for the FSA. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of all FSA. Simply contact the closest in the country and ask for help. Guys will help you best possible
