Satellite A30 921: is it possible to upgrade graphics card?

Is it possible to update my graphics card? I have a Satellite A30 921 that comes with the Mobile Radeon 9000 card.
I was wondering if it is possible to update my graphics card

Hi Daniel,.

The graphics card in your A30 is actually a built-in chip in the motherboard unlike a desktop PC where it is a separate card. This makes it rather difficult/impossible replacement without replacing the motherboard together.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A30 921: XP does not detect the Firewire IEEE 1394 port

    I have a satellite A30 921.
    There I link port aswell. My problem is that im trying to connect my camcorder dv via I LINK and this is the first time since I bought this laptop. But XP won't dectecting it.

    Can someone help me on this problem?

    Hmm, it seems that the satellite A30 921 supports really 4pol IEEE1334 Firewire/iLink interface. Therefore, it should be possible to connect your external camcorder without big problems.

    May I ask if you are using Win XP with SP2 preinstalled?
    You should do it.

    AFAIK the SP2 contains a bug which has affected the firewire port.
    But it has been resolved with the additional patch. Check this box:

    + * Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 * +.

    I also recommend to check the firewire port in Device Manager.
    It would be desirable to remove it from the list of Device Manager, then restart the laptop for reinstalling the port once more.

  • Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

    I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
    I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

    The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
    This can be caused by an overheating problem!

    How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
    If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

    To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
    The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

    In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.
    Good bye

  • No sound on Satellite A30 921

    Hi M8

    I have PC Toshiba laptop Satellite A30 921.
    I just installed Windows XP Professional and all microsoft updates.
    I downloaded the latest Sound driver and update the bios of Toshiba Web site for this laptop.

    I updated the bios and installed its Audio driver for "Realtek AC97". I'm speaker icon on my taskbar.

    Much thanks

    I have to ask you something.
    Have you got the sound before you reinstall the operating system?

    What about the State of the sound card in Device Manager? Are there any yellow exclamation marks?

    You say you checked the volume and the installation program. Did you also check the volume control on the side of the laptop?

  • Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921

    Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921.
    I can't find.

    Please help me

    To be honest I really don't understand why you need the USB drivers?  :|

    Is it all the USB drivers are one included in the OS. It s no matter what operating system you have. Win XP or Vista.
    Operating systems use the own Microsoft USB drivers and installation of the USB driver is unnecessary. By the way; There is no 3rd party USB drivers ;)

    So now, it would be useful to know what operating system you have installed.
    If you are using XP then you should install SP2 and should update the operating system to the State.

    Furthermore, you shouldn't t forget to install the utility of chipsets Intel (pilot).
    You can find these drivers on the European driver Toshiba-> Sat A30 page area download.

    Hope that this information could help you get the USB port works again

  • can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    Laptops are unlike desktop computers.

    Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.

    PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.

    Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.

    A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.

    If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

  • Upgrade the HARD drive, memory and display on Satellite A30 921 driver

    I got a model a30-921, satellite phone for two years now. I would ask someone who could help me how to put my hard drive from 40 to the majority and the memory to 1 g. and also where can I find the latest driver for ati mobility radeon igp 9000.

    Thank you and looking forward to here from you soon.

    Hi Remelito,

    I use a 80 GB hard drive in my SA30 and I suspect it would probably work with a 100 GB drive. However, as portable hard drives tend to suffer ruptures busiest I think their close office 80 GB is perfectly o.k. for me. I tend to have 25-30 GB used with the rest of the temporary files during editing of the videos etc. The hard drive in the A30 is usually under the optical drive to remove all first in order to access the hard drive.

    Your A30 can be upgraded to a maximum of 2 GB of RAM in two slots. Currently, you will have 2 X 128 MB or 2 X 256 MB modules of RAM installed. You can get the modules of memory in the sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB. the following URL provides information on reference numbers (the United Kingdom site), but you can Google for a suitable provider.

    Toshiba unfortunately do not provide regular updates to their display drivers (at least in my experience). Like you, I have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000IGP in my SA30 and I resorted to a driver Omega catalyst in order to play newer games. I ran this Omega driver for many months now with still no Bul. You can obtain this driver from: -.

  • Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

    Hi all

    my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

    Thank you

    Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
    According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
    You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

    I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.
