• Satellite A30: Replacement of RAM and HARD disk

  I am about to replace the HARD drive in my Satellite A30 with a 100 GB one and update the RAM in both slots 1 & 2. Can someone give me a step by step guide to do this?
  Also to clean the mouse buttons leave because they no longer work correctly

  Thank you very much

  Hi Andy,.

  To replace the hard drive, you need to remove the F5 screw on the bottom of the laptop. This will allow the optical drive to slide toward the front of the laptop so that you can get on the hard drive.

  Remove the four screws (2 on each side) that hold the hard disk, and then gently slide forward to disconnect its multi connector.

  Remove the two metal (one on each side) of the old drive brackets and attach them to the new drive then carefully replace the new drive and drag it to the back of the laptop (be careful not to bend the pins).

  Finally replace the optical drive and fix it with the screw (F5).

  Remove the RAM modules is described in the manual of the A30 user but briefly it is to remove the screws holding the access plate on the bottom of the laptop, and then releasing the fasteners securing spring-loaded modules RAM, so that they can be angled to allow them to be removed from the location of connectors. The new modules can be inserted (they won't be back in a sense) and pushed into place until the fixing pins 'click '. It is very important that you take adequate and anti-static precautions before accessing RAM modules as they can easily be 'flashed' by a discharge of static electricity.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A30 303 keyboard does not work

  When I type something with my keyboard without characters appear on the screen. I've tried to sort by reinstall the keyboard drivers, but this makes no difference. Please, can someone advise?

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to give you any adequate explanation why this happens. In my opinion, the only thing you can do is to preinstall the device with the recovery media. If the problem persists even is the faulty keyboard or there may be a problem with the contact.

  Try to remove the keyboard from the Device Manager, and then restart the device. As far as I know, there is no special driver for keyboard and it is automatically recognized by the operating system.

• Satellite A30: For those inventive keyboard problem

  Hello

  My problem is that I spilled juice on my Satellite A30. Since MN then. keys on the keyboard do not respond. I think it has to do with the fact that the juice having disappeared left a sort of insulation under the buttons. I wonder if anyone can advise me on the following:

  1. How can I remove the keyboard off Satellite A30? The manual does not give an indication on it.

  2. is it possible to remove faulty buttons, clean the surface below them and put back them without any problem? I heard that once removed laptop keyboard buttons cannot be placed back correctly.

  3 should. what solution I use to clean the remains of juice? My only idea is to use some sort of soapy solution.

  4 wouldn't be allright just to put the keyboard without removing faulty buttons in a solution and keep it for a while until all the juice remains are taken away? The keyboard let completely dry and replace in place? Or, maybe there is a way to disassemble the keyboard in order to break the circuit so that it can be cleaned without worries?

  I hope you people help me get through this question cause I don't want to spend a fortune on a new keyboard, as people in the service center possibly won't bother to clean up my keybard and will just get away with ordering a new.

  OK, thanks for your ideas and consideration.

  Hello

  If the buttons just does not have the "n" and am ' ones, then you may be able to clean adequately without the need to disassemble your A30.

  First, you need to remove the covered buttons involved. To do this gently prising upward from the bottom edge of each button (use the SPACEBAR as a rest for a small flat blade so that you can lift buttons up. Once the keys are deleted (not to lose) you will be able to see the cantilever spring mechanism that makes electrical contact when you press it. Carefully clean the area with a small cotton swab (or even a small brush) and a lot of alcohol isoproyl (or an electrical contact, cleaning solution). I hope that this will restore the normal operation of the keys.

  To replace the top key locate top edge first and lower aid in position and apply progressive pressure the bottom of the key top until your feel/hear a 'click '.

  If all else fails, then you need to replace the keyboard, but fortunately, they are not too expensive (about £65 I remember well).

  Good luck

• 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?

• Replacing keyboard on Satellite M30

  Hello!

  I dropped accidentally coffee on my Satellite M30. my keyboard no longer works correctly. I tried to clean it with compressed air, who saved a few touches, but there are still some keys that do not work. I discovered that I can buy a replacement on www.sparepartswarehouse.com part, but I live in the Netherlands, and transportation costs are very expensive.
  My question is: can I buy a spare directly from Toshiba?

  Hello

  I'm not sure about this. As far as I know, you can buy only the things that you can find on the Toshiba site. The pieces of equipment can be ordered by service partners. Try to make contact with the partner in your country and ask them what may be the best solution for your problem.

  Maybe you can also buy some already used keyboard.
  Check http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com under Support & downloads. You can find the links service partners.

• Windows XP cannot be installed on Satellite A30 after replacing the hard drive

  Hello
  you have a problem with my satellite A30 - hard drive has been corrupted (due to accumulation of dust on the cpu!) and I replaced it with a 100 GB hard drive.
  Tried the 'recovery cds', but get an error message 'error #1537 file greater than 4 billion number' and recovery has been abandoned halfway after inserting the third cd. The XP Home operating system does not install completely. Any suggestions?
  Thank you very much for your help, has soon

  Hello

  already tried the recovery process more then once? If so, the error appears at the place of installation? You said that you have installed a new hard drive but actually you have formatted the hard drive before you perform a full restore? That would be really helpful, sometimes recovery is suspended because the disk formatted or partitioned before luckily.

  You should really try. One way would be to use the "UBCD4Win' which is a Windows Live CD with really good tools. Format your hard drive with this CD and retry the recovery. Maybe it works...

  Here´s the link to the CD "UBCD4WIn": www.ubcd4win.com ".

  Bye and good luck

• Replacement keyboard for Satellite Pro P100-465

  Hello

  Does anyone know if there is another keyboard that I can get for this model?

  The current keyboard keys a pretty spongy and don't respond well except if pressed hard.
  Also, buttons which I use a lot, such as the right change key and enter key are below standard and difficult to use.

  I want to set up a keyboard layout different if possible. The keypad is not important to me.

  Thank you
  Mike

  Replacement of keyboard should not be a problem. I recommend you contact the partner of service authorized in your country. They should have the numbers for keyboards with a different layout. Using this number, you'll be able to order replacement keyboard.

• Replacement keyboard on Satellite L350

  A clumsy friend spilled a glass of red wine on my L350 weekend which resulted in my keyboard malfunctioned.
  No problem, I don't think should be easy to get a replacement and mount it.

  However, as I took the original keyboard of the laptop I am concerned that I have damaged the connection and my replacement does not work when it arrives.

  Basically, the black part of the connector has broken - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?

  Any idea where I can get a replacement for the part black, if necessary.

  Any advice would be fantastic.

  Thank you.

  > Basically, the black part of the connector broke - does anyone know if this is considered part of the laptop or that it will be shipped with a replacement keyboard?

  I m not very well what part you mean.
  Usually, the keyboard is connected to the connector s motherboard with a flat cable.
  Do you mean the cable?

  If so, then the cable is part of the keyboard and the new cable should arrive with the new keyboard. But the connector on the motherboard is not removable, and if you damage this part, you will need to replace the mobo ;(

• Replacing keyboard on Satellite C850

  How is it difficult to replace a keyboard on a C850?

  I have to use an external keyboard due to a spill of coffee.
  As I'm several hundred kilometres of civilization and need to use my laptop for business, I can't afford to be without it. Any suggestions please. I did it on other laptops, but this one seems different.

  Hello

  You are right. Replacing keyboard on this machine is quite different. The keyboard access is on the underside. Optical disc drive must be removed first. Then, you need a plastic stick to push the back of the keyboard of the slot. Push the keyboard until the corner rises on the upper surface of the case.

  To be honest, it can be a bit tricky and you may damage the smallholders plastic. You can try it, but you do at your own risk. Be gentle and careful with this.

• Satellite A30: I'm looking for replacements

  Dear all

  Soon, I'm looking to change my Satellite A30 P4 more model to this day, more in line with today's wireless technology.
  I'll be looking
  (1) a lot of memory.
  (2) a very large RAM.
  (3) wireless better never have.
  (4) very Portable.
  (5) there must be very fast.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hello

  What to say there are several series of laptops with different material specifications
  and I think that it s costs are

  Usually, the new series of portable supports enough amounts of memory and is wireless ready.
  In case you I recommend the purchase of a laptop computer with a network card local minPCI that supports three important standard WLan A B and G. The next time the N standard should be available, but most of the WLan routers supports three common standards.

  My Favorites are the Portégé laptops; I like the R400 and R500 units
