  Hello Andrew

  Replace the drive on Satellite 5200 is very complicated, and most of the aircraft must be dismantled. Problem is that the CD/DVD drive is set on the system board.

  If you are not familiar with the procedure for disassembly please don t do it alone. Believe me it's very complicated.

• 5200 801 with DTS-6012 DVD burn DVDs!

  Since I first bought 5200-801, I had problems burning CDs and DVDs. write speed would never go to 2 x as it should be, and - more important-record would be interrupted by an error.

  I downloaded the update of the firmware (SDR6012-1334. (EXE) that has been posted for this problem (interruption).

  Since then, I usually have to burn the DVD 2 or 3 until I get a readable. The operation appears successful, but the dvd is not burned!

  I noticed that the contrast between burned and unburned area is higher on copies of the work of those who does not work on the recorded surface. Looks like the laser is not strong enough!

  I buy a box with 10 DVD to write 5!

  Any help will be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  P.S. I have responded to something else first to activate the 'POST' icon I think the moderators should check.

• Re: Satellite P200-178 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Is it really possible to replace the HARD drive on this model? I have another satellite & which was 2 screws & pulling on one leg, job done.

  The P200 has an opening apparently get actually on the HARD drive but it gets you on the underside of the car, so I think that you will have to pass the upper part by means of the keyboard.

  Can anyone help? I lost 70 pounds on a HARD disk that cannot be mounted?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As far as I know on all models, it of possible to swap the HARD drive.

  According to the user manual on the underside of the laptop it is a case of HDD for HDD1 and HDD2. This coverage is provided by one or two screws, I think that should be deleted. After that, you are able to exchange the HARD drive.

  Take a look on the underside. HARD drive swap is not complicated and can be done in a few minutes. :)

• Satellite L300-A13 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  I need to replace my drive hard because I got a disc error and I could hear noises from him. Someone knows the size of the current hard drive replace (either 3.5 SATA or whatever it is)?

  No space memory but actual size, so it can fit inside my computer and someone know a tutorial to replace by yourself?

  Hello

  To replace the HARD drive, you need a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. These 3.5 HARD drive you want to say are only for desktop PC s peut t used in laptops to buy a 2.5 so one.

  But it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive or the size. Just look for a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface.

  Replace the drive is pretty easy: just remove the two screws on the underside of the cover of the HARD drive. You can exchange it.
  I know because I have the same laptop. ;)

• Satellite L300-144 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  Hello!

  I have a problem: my laptop is Satellite L300-144, but I don't even know my hard drive model.

  Anyone know anything on this subject? And how replcae it? I mean where the hard drive is placed?
  And another question: is it available in BestBuy for example?

  THX

  Hello

  As Akuma said on the underside of the laptop, you will find a HARD drive cover is fixed by 2 screws I think. If you remove these screws, you can see the HARD drive and remove/Exchange it.

  Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives, and you can buy the HARD drive of every computer store where you want to.
  I have good experiences with Seagate and Western Digital hard drives but of course, you can buy a disk from a different manufacture. ;)

• How to restart the Satellite 5200 801 without using the recovery disk?

  Hello
  I haven't used my Satellite 5200 801 for awhile and now it does not start. That's what I have on the black screen:

  Intel® Boot Agent Version 4.1.04
  Copyright © 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit Intel Boot Agent.
  Insert system disk in drive.
  Press a key when tready.

  I have the product recovery disc, but which will erase all existing data and rebuild. Is there a way to boot my PC without the use of the recovery disk?

  Thanks for any help.

  > PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  This message means that laptop tried to boot from LAN.
  Given that this was not possible the PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable appeared

  I guess that the HARD drive is defect and therefore, the laptop won't boot from the internal HARD drive.
  In this case also your internal data on the HARD disk are lost.

  But to be100% sure that you can remove the laptop HARD drive, could use a drive enclosure HARD 2.5 to connect the HARD drive to another computer just to check if you would be able to access data on the HARD drive

• Dysfunction of graphics on a Satellite 5200 801

  I have a Toshiba Satellite 5200-801 (nr.PS 520-31P1D-PT) with the following problem:

  After pressing the button operation, the screen shows vertical stripes, alternately, with large rectangle B & W points. After Windows XP spit and the only thing I can do, it's a hard reboot again and again once.

  It happened all of a sudden without any specific reason a few days ago, and now I never finished a full boot sequence Windows normal.

  I read another discussion here in this forum, and I guess that the problem should be on the graphical circuit inside the motherboard. Do you think this could be a malfunction of this series from Toshiba?
  I try to call today for the phone number of European support, but after 15 minutes of waiting I hang it up.

  Here in Lisbon (Portugal), I have no idea how to solve this problem.

  Could all those who have already opened this model, you tell me if the graphic chipsset could be changed? (This is perhaps a silly question :-(sorry on this subject)

  Thank you very much for other ideas solving this dysfunction,
  Luis Pitta (from Lisbon)

  Hi Luis

  He damage of s to hear that I agree with you it could be a graphics card but I put t think it is of a common malfunction of this series laptop.
  You know, these defects occur just my laptop another production was fixed 2 times due to the fault of the sound card
  I think laptops are more affected by various malfunctions due to the temperature inside the laptop. The devices together produce a lot of heat and after several times the chip can damage all simply.

  It seems that you don't have much experience with this replacement and so I don't t recommend trying to fix it yourself. Firstly the replacement of the devices isn't easy as on the desktop PC and second you don t have the right parts.
  The technicians of the partner of service authorized in your country have more experience as a common user like me and you.
  Guys should check the laptop

• Satellite 5200-801-indicator of battery flashes orange while dc is green

  I have SATELLITE 5200-801, the battery light flashes orange while the domain controller is green and the laptop works
  stop when it is off.
  the battery is empty.

  I can't boot from external USB cdrom to install windows as its internal DVD does not work

  Help, please

  > Ok I fix the battery problem was feeding me to change.
  Nice to hear that! :)

  > But I still can't start external USB cdrom
  Have you checked if your laptop computer (BIOS) supports booting from an external USB drive? I doubt it would be possible on old Satellite 5200. If you exchange your CD-ROM drive. You can look on eBay for the part of second hand, they are a little cheaper. :)

• Satellite 5200-801-failure of graphics HW

  Hello

  Is it possible to change the graphics card to a Satellite 5200 801? Or it is part of the motherboard, means, I need to change the mothermoard? If it is possible, what is probable invest?

  Question:
  My graphics card appears to show a HW failure. After that turn on the screen of the laptop shows the thin vertical lines and it starts flashing after a few seconds.

  During the startup of Windows XP, the machine meets a bluescreen detection of problems with the nvidia device.

  When I start the laptop mode safe, the notebook starts up and I'm able to evidence with the Manager of Windows hardware, Windows detects a HW problem with the graphics card.

  So I'm sure it's the graphics card or the video RAM. Even playing with the video modes do not change or correct the problem. Also the video mode with the highest resolution is no longer available.

  The LCD display is new. I changed it with a new 3 months ago.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hello

  The Satellite 5200 801 was delivered with an nVidia GeForce4 460Go 64 MB graphics card.
  But as far as I know it of not possible to change the graphics chip. This small chip is attached to the motherboard.
  I guess that it of necessary to replace the motherboard.

• Memory and disk HARD upgrade question - Satellite 5200 801

  Hi all

  I really need your help to upgrade my toshiba Satellite 5200 801 (model: PS520E-31P1D-EN), basically it's the version specification factory (technical instructions on the link below)
  http://www.cwrose.de/Toshiba/S5200.html

  What I want is to get faster internal memory, you can buy for this model (currently I have two default 256 mb DDR 266 MHz CL2.5 memory sticks). Will probably do a gig of memory (I could have more, but it depends on the price).
  As well, I want to spend the HD to 160 gig (about), as well as get a faster hard drive then the current 60gig 4200 RPM Hitachi HD (as soon as possible for the specifications of my laptop).

  Anyone know what would be the best option?

  Someone said that it would cost all under 100 (that would be cool), but I don't know anything about the compatibility of different companies etc.
  Can anyone recommend what equipment... .and where * I hope that ebay or studs :)
  I need to go to get this sorted out

  PS:
  FYI, I mostly use the laptop for graphic design, video, and the interwebz.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  Hello

  You can upgrade the Satellite 5200 801 memory and HARD drive.
  S for laptop computer memory can be improved up to 1 GB of RAM. So you can use 2 x 512 MB PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.

  Check this link 5200-801 Satellite:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6116&ft=m&St=3

  In my opinion, you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers, but the module must support these specifications: 200-Pin PC2100 (266 MHz) DDR SODIMM
  I suppose you could also use a 400 Mhz because the laptop supports a 400 Mhz FSB too.

  I think that an upgrade of the IDE 160 GB HARD disk is not possible. To my knowledge, the BIOS can support such massive size of the HARD drive. But this is only my personal opinion. If I was you I would try a smaller HDD like 100 GB or 120 GB.

• Speakers satellite 5200 801.

  Are there outside Yamaha equalizer and Volume any repareable reason for the failure of the Woofer bass in the sound of the Satellite 5200 801?

  Hi Frankie,

  I understand that your problem is that your subwoofer is not working properly. You reinstall the driver and additional of your CD of tools & utilities software or website of toshiba? (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com)

  Also, you can check in Control Panel sound and Audio devices. It should be the Yamaha AC - XG WDm Audio setting as default device in AUDIO.

  Or another suggestion, check under System Device Manager in the control panel and check if the devices work properly!

  It could also possible that your subwoofer is inadmissible and must be changed by a partner of Serivce!

  I'll hope this helps!

  I got a new mobo for the American market.
  do you know if it will be compatible with my European model?

  The 5205 Satellite which is designed for the U.S. market looks a lot like the 5200 satellite which is designed for countries in the EMEA region.

  I m not 100% sure but I believe the motherboard must be compatible
