  Hello

  I installed Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LI and can confirm that everything works perfectly. I am very satisfied and it works really well. I use it for 6 months now and so far, I don't notice any problems or a strange question.

  I did the clean install of Windows 7 and not an update.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

  I don't know which version you want to use now, but if you use 32 bit, you cannot upgrade to 64-bit. It must be a clean install.
  Advantage? I don't test it on my satellite with 64 bit but theoretically OS must use more material resources, but it may happen that several software you are using is not designed for the 64 bit OS.

• Satellite A300-1QP - RAM upgrade question

  Hello world

  After a few years, I decided to spend the money to upgrade the RAM.
  Now, I'm pretty stuck to understand what to do.

  I always knew that my laptop can be upgraded to 8 GB.
  I also have many references for this information:

  -model: Satellite A300-1 q PSAGCE-07000QIT
  (http://www.toshiba.it/discontinued-products/satellite-a300-1qp/)

  I checked physically slots: there are currently two slots of 2 GB each.
  As long as no expert, I thought that the the more logical way to upgrade such a configuration is to buy the other two chips of 4 GB each to reach the 8GB.

  However, it appears this combination didn't is not possible because I don't find not (I checked the site of Kingston and the Amazon). The upgrade of RAM I want to achieve is:
  -DDR2
  -800 Mhz
  -8 GB

  If this can be useful, I note all the data on the other two RAM modules:
  2GB 2Rx8 PC2-64005-666-12-Z3
  800 Mhz DDR2-SDRAM

  Can someone help me understand what to do to upgrade the RAM 8 GB?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  The laptop was equipped with the Intel GM45 Express chipset and the Intel ARK page this Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express is capable of dealing with the 8 GB of RAM
  The chipset seems to support 667 MHz / 800 MHz/1066 modules MHz

  If you want to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM, the best option would be the use of 2 x SO-DIMM 4 GB (DDR2 800 Mhz) modules
  The present modules must be removed and replaced with two modules of 4 GB.

  Usually, you can use modules of different brand but modules good markets can cause a lot of problem different and strange. So I recommend you to buy good quality like Kingston, Toshiba, modules etc.

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Satellite A300 - overheating graphics card

  Hello.

  My Satellite A300 got recently repaired from the Toshiba official represent in my hometown of Portugal. The problem was overheating, as usual. They understood the problem, it was dust and the radiator was malfuncion. They have changed the radiator and I paid 184,5 as a repair bill. When I got home, the problem still remained, and it seems worse.

  When I start a game, like world of warcraft, for example, the graphics card will of constant 50 degrees to 100 to like 10 seconds, and then the laptop stops.
  Someone could point me in the right direction and could they be scamming?

  I mean, I paid to solve the overheating problem, but they have not solved. Next Monday, I'll see what they had to say. Should I pay for another repair (repair minimum is 80, even if anything needs to be repaired).

  PS: Just in case where, is my graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

  PS2: Sorry for the bad English, I'm Portuguese :)
  Thanks for reading this.

  Hello

  Theoretically it could also be a software problem if the laptop is overheating. I had the same problem because I installed display drivers not Toshiba and they had different thermal management so the laptop was overheating. I removed this display driver and installed the new Toshiba display driver and the problem was gone, because these drivers are designed and pre-tested by Toshiba.

  Otherwise I would also contact the ASP and check what they say. ;)

  Anyone has idea about hw long battery last, I mean hours.

  Now, I can only use it for nearley 30 min... Some blog said of updateing the bios.

  Is this the reason realley or is the problem of windows 7 with my battery, experts advise please.

  Thank you, vb sbar

  Hello

  I don't know if the update of the BIOS would help, but if the new BIOS is available for you notebook series, then it s a m updated value.

  But you should also check the Win 7 power management settings.
  Please check this Toshiba HowTo:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=41

  It s on vista but Vista power management is very similar to Windows 7.

  Here you must change the battery more user-friendly options.

  Hello

  I think that you didn t install the driver on the right graphics card
  It seems that your laptop supports the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics chip and I think that you should simply reinstall the graphics driver on the European driver Toshiba page

  What do you think?

• Satellite Pro A10 CPU upgrade possible? Which processors?

  Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite Pro A10 CPU? What processors are supported?

  Hello

  Usually the CPU upgrade is not possible on laptops because of several reasons.
  But as far as I know that this camera was supplied with three different processors:
  Intel Celeron P4 - M (Mobile) 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz
  Well, I put t know if the CPU was only connected or soldered onto the motherboard.

  However, it s not advisable to change the CPU. It is possible that after CPU change the laptop overheating for example.
