• Satellite 5100-201-size Limitation of HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 5100-201 P4 - M 1.6 Ghz with 30 GB IDE HDD and 1024 MB of RAM. I use my 'old' Satellite only for music (the largest sound found on laptops!) but my HARD drive got a little weak.

  So my question is if there is no limit on the size of HARD drive for this laptop. I would buy an IDE 120 GB or 160 GB HDD at 5400 RPM and 8 MB Cache. If this is not possible, I can also take the 80 GB of HDD (another puts it on say works), but liked better!

  Thanks for your help!

  Greetings,
  Fab

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that the maximum capacity of the HARD drive would be 120 GB because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that only the hard disks up to 128 GB usable 120 GB would be the maximum. 5400 RPM and 8 MB cache are ok.

  By the way: it of Nice to read that you are always so pleased with old Satellite 5200 :)

  Hello

  When you purchased your portable Satellite didn t you get a remote control? If this isn't the case, then the unit is not ready to use the remote control. You can also refer to the manuals of s.

  AFAIK all units with remote installed a small application called controls. Check in Control Panel if you can find something like that.

• Differences between Satellite 5100-201 & 5100 603

  Hello

  The user guide is not clarify the differences between the models S5100-201 and S5100-603.
  I can work on them are different speeds, memory and hard drive, but what about the internal bits?

  I have a model 603 broke with a power control fault. Does anyone know if a model-201 motherboard will enter unity of 603?

  Thank you
  Pete

  Hello

  I am not a technician, but I found the info that these units have a different graphics card and the two can't handle with RAM max.

  Satellite 5100-201:
  -nVidia GeForce4 440Go 32 MB
  -can handle with max 512 MB RAM

  Satellite 5100 603:
  -nVidia GeForce4 440Go 64 MB
  -can handle with max 1024 MB of RAM

  I'm not 100% sure, but if you swap the Mo together with all hardware, I think that other devices should work, but I put t know how it will work with the BIOS. Maybe the DMI should be rewritten.

  There are little guys having very good knowledge on this forum, and I hope that some of them will be post here and say more about it.

• Satellite A300 - easy key of Windows Media Player does not work

  Can someone help me?

  My easy key of Windows media player does not work and I have installed the package of value added. I don't know what's wrong all the other buttons seem to work well.

  When the VAP is installed this button should be enabled to start Windows media player by default.
  In any case, you can test the functionality if you set it to start another application.

  Configuration tool buttons you will find under:

• Satellite 1900-803: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 card does not work

  I have a portable satellite 1900-803. I recently bought and installed a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card, but it does not work. Manual of the card says that after the successful installation, I'd see a second 'USB bus controllers' heading which I did not. I even it was replaced by another one thinking that there could be some problems with the drivers, but it still does not work. whenever I plug in a device such as an mp3 player, a digital camera or a usb storage device, windows locks all of a sudden upward, won't move the cursor, the function ctrl-alt-del does not work and the worst of it, I can't turn off the machine!

  the map shows that it runs on any 32-bit location.

  I have the manual and the Device Manager to see if mine is a 32-bit, but I don't really know. This is probably the reason why it doesn't work? or is there another reason to make it work not? If this is the reason why, is there a way where I can upgrade my laptop's pc card slot to make it work?

  Help, please.

  I posted this question yesterday morning and did not get a single response. is it because it has to do with an older laptop? Please, someone, help...

  Hello

  Have you checked the Bios? I guess that the Bios Toshiba was preinstalled on your laptop. Am I wrong? There should be an option to change the PC Card controller mode.

  Here, you can change the mode of the automatic selection, CCIP compatible controller or card bus/16-bit.
  If the card supports 32-bit so you should use the 16-bit option.

  I think you should play a little with this option and possibly that the card will work.

• Satellite Pro L670-16Z and WinXP - keyboard Fn + F8 does not work

  I installed Windows XP on this laptop. The keyboard * Fn + F8 * (control of the wireless switch) do not work. ?
  Any idea? Thank you

  Hey,.

  Have you tested other combination of FN keys or only FN + F8 does not work?

  If only the WLAN power switch doesn t work it could be linked to the WLAN driver is the WLAN card in Device Manager correctly or you see a yellow exclamation point?

  Official website of Toshiba, you can download your model and new WLAN driver for XP. In addition the common Modules, you can also download that you need for the FN keys:

• Satellite 5100/201: problem with the video card or overheating?

  HY,

  I have problems with video on a 5100/201 Satellite. It seems that when I press the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on this side, the screen begins to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. To end Windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video goes to 640 x 480. Same thing happens when you run Linux Suse 9.0.

  My question is what is the cause: map graphic damaged or overheating due to the fan not as effective as originally (my laptop is nearly two years old. Do you have someone be able to find the cause and solved the problem, also with the assistance of Toshiba?
  Any help welcome.

  Hello

  I think the problem on your laptop depends on the fan.

  A colleague on mine has a 5100-603 and had similar problems.

  The Station changed the fan.

  Good bye

• Satellite 5100-201: overheating after several times

  I have a 5100-201 Satellite.
  Recently, a screen problem surfaced: first described images are blurred, then scratches appear, usually the screen collapses provisional modus. I noticed that the laptop gets really hot, and I thought it must be a problem of overheating.

  I cleaned empty the notebook, I even opened and checked that the fan rotates properly. Subsequently, the laptop worked once, the fan run constantly and the laptop does not get heated.

  The next day, the redone problem surface again and this time I had still a black screen. Now, the laptop starts normally when I turn it on, but I know that after a while it will heat again.

  Ah, I also updated the driver for the graphics card, but it did not help. Does anyone have a suggestion?

  Thank you

  To protect against overheating of the CPU has to a n internal temperature sensor. If the temperature of computer s reaches a certain level, the cooling fan is turned on or processing speed is lowered. Use the cooling method of the base configuration item in the Toshiba power saver.

  In addition, it is very important that you use Notepad in the right position. The area near the gates of cooling module must be free because the fan needs to catch his breath.
  It is important for the circulation of fresh air.

• Satellite 5100-201 - screen is flickering and distorted

  Hello!
  I am owner of a period of 5 years old Sam. 5100-201 which worked great until today.
  Now, I have problems with the graphics card I guess, the screen is flickering and distorted and then I mosztly get a blue screen that says that the graph
  card drivers is running in a loop.

  I have a dual boot, so I checked it on the two win xp installations and it is the same problem on both, so it seems to be a prob. real hardware!
  So I think that I have a graphics card problem, but as far as I know, the chip is attached to the motherboard and it is not replaceable, is that at the time?
  There is no work around which I can do to make sure what is the problem?

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  See you soon,.
  Achim

  Why connection to the external monitor? !!

  > blue screen indicating that the graphic card drivers is running in a loop.
  The reason for this blue screen can be a problem of graphics card DRIVER or the graphics card itself.
  For me, it looks like a graphics card problem. Maybe overheating

  > as far as I know, the chip is attached to the motherboard and is not replaceable
  Yes, to you on time. In my knowledge on older models, the graphics card is fixed on MB and the entire motherboard must be replaced

  Thanks for your help

  Hi mate

  Satellite L305D-S5881 belongs to the Toshiba US series and was released for the American market.
  You will need to visit the page of the Toshiba driver us in order to get all the drivers.

  To get the touchpad works, you need to install the driver for the Touchpad.
  In addition, the FN buttons are controlled by VAP (value added package) and Flash memory card Support utility.
  You must install both; all first PPV and then Flash cards.

• Satellite C850D-115 / Win7 - key mode special funktion ist does not

  Hello

  key mode special funktion ist does not, but I've tried everything in the Bios and software "Toshiba hardware configuration utility".
  I still need to press on "FN +" to use the special function keys, while active bios mode!»
  Special function mode was never working, I have no more ideas. You...?

  As far as I know using Win7 you must press FN every time when you want to use the FN keys. There is just to Win8 option to change that and use the FN keys without maintaining the FN key.

  > Special function mode was never working...
  Maybe stupid question now but what do I say with special function mode?

• Satellite program-112 P775: HDMI connection to the TV does not work

  Hello

  For some reason that the HDMI connection between my Toshiba Satellite P775 program-112 to LG TV no longer although he did for some time.

  I tried another laptop without problem.

  I posted the same question some time ago and told to press the Fn and F5 keys, but it did not work.

  Any suggestions please?

  You are right: the FN + F5 switches between the internal and external video output.

  What exactly happens when you press FN + F5? A map falsh menu appears on the screen when you use this key combination?

  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the Manager command HDMI. This driver is required for your HDMI controller.
  In the case where the output to HDMI does not work, try reinstalling the driver
