  Hello

  As Akuma already written, you can choose a CPU of the other models. Look on the lower side to identify your model number.

  But don t forget that the CPU upgrade is risky. No one has tested this before CPU in your laptop and my cause overheating or something else. This upgrade is official not supported: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

• Satellite A100-334: Question about upgrading from XP to Vista

  I need help to upgrade my A100-334 to vista!
  I use the disks provided by toshiba. It is said that the new Bios is already installed (vers.5.60).

  After running the second drive it says I need to uninstall Driver driver/BD DVD-RAM and Toshiba configfree.

  Then he said that the following issues will not prevent the upgrade of the execution but that some applications or elements may not work properly. The list is long.

  Here are some examples:
  Diagnostic tool for TOSHIBA, Sun Java Scheduler, TOSHIBA controls, Bluetooth TOSHIBA Power saver settings and so on.

  It is recommended to uninstall all of these objects?
  What can I do?

  I appreciate any help thanks - Detlef

  Hi Detlef

  Well, what to say if I understand your question you didn t make a new, clean install Vista, but you tried to upgrade the full XP to Vista.

  I don't wonder that this doesn't update good conduct and that you get notifications on the tools and driver compatibility issues.

  The fact is that many drivers, tools and utilities that are designed for the operating system XP don t run on the Vista operating system. That is why it s necessary and desirable to remove any programs that are not compatible with Vista!

  In my opinion, you must perform a clean installation of Vista, and then you can download and install all the drivers Toshiba Vista required and utilities.

  Best regards and greetings to Germany ;)

• Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

  One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

  Best regards, Marian

  I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

  No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

  To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

  Reach
  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
  and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

  Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
  After reading the manual you will be something like:

  1. program start, do something, restart the machine
  2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
  3. install the new driver
  3. reading of Bioshock
  4...
  5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

  So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  I pressed F1, my Toshiba reboot works ok after that, so there's something wrong with this warning?

  2. I upgraded RAM to 2 GB (1 GB + 1 GB) with the KingMax brand, if the RAM expandable max I can do on my laptop?

  3. This Toshiba laptop use to edge or video card, I check my Nvidia geforce card real estate (laptop) and I saw this: memory: 256 MB + RAM shared memory: 256 MB = 512 MB of total memory?
  So: can I upgrade my card graph and maximum card that I can use?

  4. I cannot set 75 Hz for refresh monitor, can see 65 Hz

  Thanks for your help!

  1. try to load the default settings in the BIOS. Then it should work.

  2. the Satellite A100 supports 4 GB max.

  3. No, the graphics card can not be changed. It s soldered on the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Satellite A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

  2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

  I was wondering in Toshiba laptops of the Turkey has problems or handed in state something? I sent e-mail to the web site of Toshiba Turkey but they don't send me emails or information.

  Thank you for helping me,

  Hello

  First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
  Don t worry, register just she.

  With regard to the RAM:

  Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

  In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
  CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

  I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)

• Equium A100-147: Question about upgrade graphic

  I am about to open my A100 to deposit into a new Core 2 Duo, but what I also want to know, is this model has the ability to take a graphics card.
  Also the toshiba offer this model with a better GPU than the GMA950 graphics?

  There is no buy for the game, but I could update if possible.

  Please do not post here to tell me that this model is not for games I am very aware of this fact already.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

  Lee

  I presume you didn't search in this forum some similar thread on the graph and the replacement of the CPU. Am I wrong?

  I would recommend doing this because then you will find useful information on the graphics card upgrade and finally a statement the GPU upgrade is not possible.

  In addition, you will find a lot of discussions and advice that it s not recommended to disassemble the laptop and to upgrade the processor

• Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hi all...
  I would like to ask something...

  I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

  I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

  My questions are the following:

  (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
  I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

  (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

  (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
  May I take in an informal shop, too?

  (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
  Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

  Thank you in advance...

  Hey Buddy

  It is good that ask you the question.

  (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

  (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

  (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

  (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
  Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

  Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
  The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
  So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

  I put t believe that! Always is that the device was shipped with Vista or am I wrong?
  I installed Vista on my laptop and the Vista installation needs about 17 18 GB on the HARD disk. Then why you are suggesting there is only 2 GB?

  You said 37GB free on the HARD drive. For me it ok s. 55 GB GB 37 GB = 18

  Any recommendation?

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
