  • Satellite U300 - how to upgrade the BIOS on a Linux system?

    Attempt to update the BIOS of my U300-153, which is described as an operating system independent on the download page, I find that the upgrade file is provided in
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20090304140640.zip
    does not include the files to create a bootable CD, as described in the instructions to the
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07
    where Option 2 step 2 lists the files that are in the zip, and they are required to make a bootable cd. The files listed are not in the zip.

    It forces me to use Windows. My Windows is broken and I can't fix it, because Windows repairs destroy data (clearly indicated on the packaging of recovery CD) and installations of Linux. My Linux works very well, and I don't want the windows more.

    So how can I upgrade the BIOS? Either:
    1. use a true independent bundle of BONES (ie the promised approach of bootable CD). I can't find such a thing here.
    2 reinstall Windows, which trashes the laptop.

    Any suggestions?

    Is not possible since the BIOS on Toshiba page is a victory-based BIOS version and if you want to update the BIOS then you need to install the Windows operating system and then you can run the exe file

  • Can satellite A200 (PSAFCA) - I upgrade the GPU?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200. PSAFCA-01K00J. It is the system bought in Australia around mid-2007. There are currently a processor Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 intslalled on the system graphics.

    Preliminary investigation which leads me to believe, there are limited options of upgrade for the laptop, but there seems to be a number of anomalies to lead me to think the upgrade may be at hand. For example.

    In my user manual, he described my gpu in the following way:

    model lnVidia GeForce Go 7300:
    128 MB external VGA DDR2 RAM (depending on the model you have purchased).

    The external Word I think fact now refers to the interface type. As some A200 Intel 258 MB marked as integrated Gpu (and I'm the average current integrated without possibility of upgrade). This offers as well the nVidia is not integrated and leads me to believe it's connection MXM and so editable / extensible.

    Another thing to back up this idea is software Nvidia located in the control panel includes a section on system information and she calls the PCI express X 16 bus. If I'm not mistaken refers to a normal PCIe - certainly editable location. However being a laptop they might have it Mobile and so Mobile PCI Express Module and I'm back to MXM with ability to upgrade.

    This is confirmed if he please, and are there toshiba fans that could lead me to a card apropriate - perhaps off the coast of the Nvidia tray or even a chance for a toshiba laptop later. at least 256 MB or better 512.

    I have ike using this laptop, never had a problem. just be to hang out, and given that I would not buy a new car every time that I ran out of gas, I don't want to buy a new computer, when I am more then happy with the one I have for all other functions.

    Thank you

    Hello!

    In my opinion it's not possible to change the graphics card. As far as I know the graphics chip is soldered on the motherboard.

    In addition, if the graphics card would be exchangeable I think than the motherboard or BIOS will not support the new graphics card. The point is that laptops are not favourable so upgrade as a desktop PC.

    Check this Toshiba document and think about it:

  • Satellite A200 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Hey, I recently some strange problems with my laptop. I installed a new copy of Windows Vista and also tried with Windows 7 a few times. But eveytime I get problems. The installation of the operating system right. But after I installed some Windows updates my computer becomes very slow and at some point, I am unable to install any application, because it crashes just when installing... This happends with all the big software products such as Visual Studio, 3d Max, After Effects... etc.

    So I think that my HARD drive has a large number of bad sectors. I also tried to erase everything on my drive with KillDisk, but it hangs at 16%. Once again something that seems to be my HARD drive.

    But before you buy a new, I'd like to hear your opinions on my problem and I would also like to know how I have to replace my HDD on a Toshiba Satellite a200. I don't know where it is placed and what parts I need to unscrew.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello!

    The HARD drive is placed on the underside of the laptop.

    The HARD drive on the underside Bay is fixed by two screws. Remove the screws and the HARD drive. Then you can swap the HARD drive.
    But unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery before doing this.

    The new HARD disk must have the SATA interface.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A200 - how to check the temperature of the processor fan?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A200 that my teenagers use a little, or abuse a little! Recently, it would not start up. I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

    Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage. Although children watch movies with her on their doona may have already reached this!

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hey mate,

    How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    In addition if the fan doesn't work anymore it of necessary to replace. You can order spare parts at an authorized service provider.

    However, you ask the BT (pilot) software.

  • Satellite A100 - how to remove the Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot

    Hey,.

    I really need help with how to remove my Memory Stick Pro DUO card slot.

    The laptop read the stick very well and I can see all the files into it but I can't seem to get out. I tried to push a little to get out, but it does not work and it's also pretty far in so I can't get out.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you

    To my knowledge there is no extra help for Memory Stick Pro DUO removing as on the PCMCIA port.
    You should try to get him out. If you n t manage to pull him out with you fingers, you can use a pair of tweezers.
    But be careful.

  • Satellite A200 - how to use the disk recovery and backup all the files?

    Hi I have a Satellite A200 that came with a "product recovery cd. Recently I got an infection/trojan/spyware such as windows defender was taken over by something else (a lot of error abnormal messaes and asking me to purchase the full version). I'm no expert, but surely, I know that windows defender is a free program.

    Anyway, please could someone give me advice on the best way to solve this problem. that is the best option to use. Is there anyway that I can back up the files that I have (with the exception using an external HD drive).

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    _How to use the recovery disk? _
    That s pretty easy: insert the diskette and boot from it that s all!
    In addition, you will need to follow the instructions on the screen and make a few clicks, but that s really all!

    _How to save files? _
    First of all I m asking you ask for it. You didn't make a backup yet? What do you do if your HARD disk down the next morning?

    In any case, the Toshiba recovery disc erase your entire HARD drive. This means that you must back up your files to an additional disk. Everything on the drive HARD internal will be deleted.

    You don t want to use an external HARD drive? Why?

    How to upgrade processor T5750 to T8300?

    Hello

    Many people ask the CPU upgrade, but the answer is always the same;
    Update CPU is not really recommended and in most cases not possible for different reasons.
    First, BIOS was not designed and tested with different processors.
    Secondly, it depends on the chipset what CPU would be compatible.
    Check the specifications of the chipset.

    Finally and above all, the laptop must be disassembled and it's tricky!
    You could damage other parts and make more trouble.
