• Upgrading RAM for best performance with an Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz Core good option?

  Hello
  I have an old laptop with Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz (1 Core only), 2 GB of DDR2 RAM.
  I want to install Windows 7 / 8 with no problems (bad perf, etc.);
  -> with programming compilers, editor of photo/video/audio or other
  related applications to be run (maybe multitasking).

  is it a good idea to update my RAM to a superior?
  I have 2 ram slots, 1 one slot is used (2 GB).

  If it's good, what can recommend you?
  If not, are there other solutions? or just buy a new one?

  for now, I have less budget...
  pls help.

  Thank you

  The better question is whether or not your computer accepts more than 2 GB of memory, and if so, what memory support or accept.  Once you have an answer to this question then you need determine if the additional memory will help.  Which would be determined by looking at the performance of the system in system monitoring tools and watching low available memory and/or high swap file usage.

• How to replace the battery CMOS on Satellite A30 504?

  I have big problems with my satellite A30 504... it does'nt see the HARD disk at startup, my only solution was to press the power button for many times so far.

  My HARD drive is ok so I think that the problem comes from the cmos battery, but I do not know how to find out what type it is and how to replace.

  (PS. Sorry my English, I'm not an English speaker)

  Hi Adrian

  Battery CMOS is always placed in an uncomfortable position and to swap the battery of the device must be removed. If you didn t done this before please don t do this alone. One small mistake and you can damage a plastic cover of the unit.

  I recommend contacting the service and allow them to do this for you. It costs a little, but you will be sure it will be done on the professional track. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned of dust.

  Back to HARD drive: how you know HDD is not faulty?

• Satellite A30-504 modem does not

  Hi all

  Old old old Satellite A30 504 my father had problems of modem for quite awhile. Here are the symptoms exposed:

  Modem is recognized as "TOSHIBA Software Modem AMR" and classified works correctly. However, when you query the modem, I get the following message:

  + The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional. +

  Settings of resources:
  Range of e/s-2400-24FF
  E/s series 2000-207F
  IRQ 7
  (I can't change any of these settings)

  Needless to say that the modem does not work.

  Has anyone ever met such a problem before? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I really don't want to get a PCMCIA modem for this laptop, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you in advance!

• Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

  I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

  What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

  Hello Jodie

  I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
  I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

  In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.

• Satellite A30 504 - maximum size of HDD - 160 GB work?

  Hi guys,.

  I have a good old A30-504, and the 40 GB HARD drive died a few days ago... I had to buy a new one, but the smallest I can get is 120 GB or 160 GB.
  (Samsung HM121HC or HM160HC)

  It will work on my laptop or should I choose a 40 to 80 GB one second-hand?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  All depends on your HARD disk controller.
  If the HARD disk controller supports only 28-bit LBA then your could use max 120 GB HDD.
  If your HARD disk controller supports 48-bit LBA, you can then use more big hard drives.

  The ATA-6 defines Ultra DMA/100 (also called Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100) and it supports 48-bit LBA.
  ATA - 5 and lower versions support only 28-bit LBA.

• Satellite A30, PC shutdown due to overheating of the CPU

  My Satellite A30 has a new problem, the PC shuts down due to overheating.
  Fans are set to Max Performance. The cooling fans are not blocked by dust.
  I think that the CPU is overheating for some reason any.
  Can someone explain what parameters can be modified to avoid this problem?
  I also saw that the other Toshiba PC needed a BIOS upgrade, it will be necessary for the A30?

  Hello David

  Your device is certainly full of dust and cannot be properly cooled. If I remember the unit has two vents on the lower part. The must be removed and cleaned properly.

  Trust me on this machine, the dust is placed behind the fans and if you look they seems to be clean, but they are not. Contact the customer Service of your country partner. The cleaning procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. I can't imagine that it will be expensive.

  Hello

  First of all, you should check if your version of Vista support Aero.

  Windows Vista Home Basic n t supports Aero.
  If you need a newer version of Vista to use this feature

  Please also check this page from Microsoft: [problems with Windows Aero | http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/c33fe91a-9e6f-41f4-ae82-3ed2d5fa2fbf1033.mspx#EZD]

• A30 - problem with intel pro Wireless 2200bg - wireless always turn off

  Hello.

  I have a problem with the wireless card Intel pci mini. I installed in the connector mini pci and connected the 2 wires. I also installed drivers and software to Intel. But the connection is always available. I changed the wireless switch located on the left side of my toshiba, but said software, the hardware radio switch is off.
  I reinstalled operaiting system XP Home, XP Pro, but all the time I have information that this switch is off.

  Thanks for any information

  Hello

  Please first check that when you the physical switch turn on wireless communication, you should also somewhere (probably near the switch) see an orange light.
  If this isn't the case, then there is something wrong.
  Did also attach you the antenna cables to the Wifi card?
  You use the Windows XP client or customer of Intel for wifi?

• Satellite T130-11u with Intel CPU Q300 does not start

  Hello

  I installed a Q300 240 G in my T130 LU.
  It does not start.

  I tried to use the restore disks, everything went well.
  But it's boot after that... it's LAN check while the boot device is set to Q300.

  I tried with a Windows disc.
  It says that the disk is locked and I need to unlock it. (Messages are in French).

  I forgot something?

  Automatic response...

  I managed to get to start.

  I had to put:
  "Exectute-disable bit capability" to [Disabled]
  "Control" mode SATA [compatibility]

  After that, I managed to install the system and start (most important) it.

  Once the system was working, I have reset these entries to the normal configuration without any adverse effect.

• How to enable VT on Satellite M100-222 with Intel T7400

  Hello

  I tried to enable VT in the BIOS firmware but it is not an option to enable it. I looked on the web site intel my cpu (T7400) supports Intel virtualization technology.

  Could you please help to overcome this problem. I should be using kvm on my debian toshiba which supports the VT, but disabled by toshiba.

  Thank you

  Hello

  If there is no option in the BIOS, then there is nothing to do. It seems that without the option of BIOS, VT is not supported. I'm sorry.
