Satellite A40-121: how to open and replace the cooling module

Hi all

I have a Toshiba Satellite A40-121 for 4 years and was very happy with his performance so far. Just recently, one of the fans is undeliverable noisy and very quickly becomes very hot, so I think I have to change. (I'm not a computer technician, but I live somewhere in the middle of nowhere in China, no support available at all...).

I opened my laptop, but now the covering is always fixed somewhere in the Middle, no screws left!

Do you need some pictures or even a manual how to open my laptop? I could send the vehicle damaged to friends in Germany and they would try to get a new...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best
MKD

As far as I know that two lovers coling are fixed by two screws. When you remove the two of them, you should be able to remove the cooling fans. Put simply irrelevant.

  • Satellite S1900-101: how to open and replace the RAM?

    Hello
    I own a Toshiba Satellite S1900-101 (PS190E - 006 X 8 - 1N). I love my laptop, but'd like it even more if it had more RAM! A friend of mine gave me the following:

    Samsung M366S1723DTS, 128 MB, sync, 133 MHz, CL3

    PC133 SDRAM 128M

    MT8LSDT1664AG SG 128 MB 100 MHz CL2 Synch

    Can I use one of these in my Toshiba? If not, where should I expect?

    And how do I open my phone to join my free slots? (Without worrying about if above Rams work or not.) "I'm just curious!)

    Thank you very much!

    Hi guys

    I found a page very useful on [memory for Toshiba Satellite 1900 101 | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=5485&ft=m&st=3]

    This page confirms the details and the information published by SambaDeAmigo
    The laptop can be upgraded only to 768 MB because it has an internal memory of 256 MB, which is NOT removable. So only ONE slot is expandable.
    This slots would support the SODIMM PC133 144 pins

    Hello

    There is not much to explain. On the low side in the Middle it is placed to cover memory (fixed with two screws). Remove the cover and you will see 2 slots there. I put t know how much memory you here but like Stefan says you can use max 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1024Mo PC2700 - PA3313U-1M1G).

  • How to compile and install the kernel modules after nation and nipalk for installation of Gentoo 64 bit?

    We are trying to install a PCIe 6251 DAQ card in a box of Gentoo 64 bit running Linux kernel 2.6.28 - gentoo-r5 4.3.2 - gcc and glibc - 2.8.  We have installed RPM utilities to manage the installation.  The current problem is that we are not able to compile and install the kernel modules: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  Here's a summary of what we have done so far, and to what extent we got.

    First of all, we have changed the configuration of the kernel that we could export the init_mm unused symbol by changing the configuration option of the CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS = o kernel and recompile the kernel.  Then we installed LabView 8.6.1.  Then we ran the nation 1.9 installer who has installed the source code in vain on the compilation.  To resolve this problem, we have changed the function of pte_offset to pte_offset_kernel by editing the file/usr/local/natinst/nation/configures following the instructions here:

    http://decibel.NI.com/content/docs/doc-4511

    We were then able to compile and install the kernel nation module thanks to:

    . / configure
    do
    make install

    lsmod said that nation has been properly installed.  Then we ran the installer for DAQmx 8.0.1 by:

    . / INSTALL - nodeps

    To do this, we have received errors indicating that LabView support could not be installed because check addictive (incorrectly we think) stated that labviewbase86 has not been installed; This caused the installer to have an abortion.  Therefore, we refused to install support for LabView 8.6 and revived the installation program which produces the output:

    Installation of the driver NOR-DAQmx Distribution of Linux Installer version 8.0.1f0...

    After Installation...

    At this point, after reading this report, we used the Gentoo rc update utility to add several scripts for the boot runlevel initialisation:

    update of RC - a boot nipple
    update of RC - a bunch of nipxirmu
    update of RC - a bunch of mxssvr
    update of RC - a bunch of nisvcloc
    update of RC - a bunch of nidevldu

    When the computer reboots, you get an error message indicating that the following kernel modules are not: nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk.  lsmod shows that the nation and nipalk are installed, but no other kernel modules NOR are present.  modprobe-l shows that only nation and nipalk are available.

    So we have several questions:

    1. we install drivers in the correct order?  Should use us NI-VISA 4.5 or NOR-488. 2 rather than DAQmx 8.0.1?

    2. What kernel modules should be loaded for this equipment run?  How to compile and install the ones that we have yet, specifically nidmxfk, nimsdrk, nimstsk and nipxirmk?  Are there others?

    3. How can we get the installer to properly recognize that we have installed LabView Core and install support for LabView?  Are there additional kernel modules related to the support of LabView?

    4. What is the symbolic link that was not created in the DAQmx installation report? (ln: create the symbolic link ' / usr/local/include/NIDAQmx.h': no such file or directory)?

    I apologize for so many questions, but these seem to be the last obstacles to obtaining OR runs correctly on this system.  Is there other information that we can provide that would be useful?  Thanks for any help or suggestions you can offer.

    Craig

    Hey Craig,.

    Given that you use 64-bit Linux all kernel modules must be compiled for 64 - bit.  User mode binaries can be 32-bit, assuming that you have installed the 32-bit support libraries.

    NOR-DAQmx is a complex architecture and requires several kernel modules to support your PCIe card.  Most of these kernel modules have not been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Some kernel modules are components infrustructure that are shared with other pilots OR as NI-VISA and NOR-488. 2 and have been brought to support 64-bit Linux.  Unfortunately, you need all the modules to use your hardware.

    I hope that answers your question.

    1. I need open the smart object layer

    2 copy all the layers of the smart object to another file

    Thank you

    Let's say you have two open documents. The first open doc is the one you want to fool the layer to the second doc is active and the layer you want to dupe is the activeLayer.

    app.activeDocument.activeLayer.duplicate(app.documents[0]);
    

    Of course, you can change the document references and layer as needed. However the layer not fool must be in the activeDocument.

    The TPM module (trusted platform module module) configuration is done in the BIOS Setup program, and this feature is available only with certain models.

    I put t know if the U200-181 is favorable or not, but you can check it out yourself.

    Before you continue just a matter of discussion:
    Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
    I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

    By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

    By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

  • HP 700-330qe: how to disable or replace the SSD on HP 700-330qe

    Help for my HP 5 months! It kills Me!

    I bought a HP 700-330qe in 2014 from Amazon and just started getting SMART of Windows hard disk errors whenever my computer restarts, telling me that the hard drive failure is imminent. He also tells me to shut down the computer immediately, save it, contact the manufacturer, etc. Never seen it in any PC I owned before. Naturally, I freaked out and did some internet research, discover that it is relatively easy to clone and replace a hard drive. I ordered a new hard drive Western Digital 3 TB of Amazon, a docking station for disc brand cable hard of Amazonia and downloaded the Macrium Reflect free disk management software.

    Items from Amazon arrived in a few days and I got to work making a clone of my one and only hard drive. Clone was made with little problem. Shut down the computer, it opens and replaced the old hard disk with a new one. Start the computer to the top and got the same message on imminent hard drive failure! So I paid more attention to it this time and looked up the model number in the warning message, which was: ScanDisk SDSA6DM - 016 G-1006. I Googled that and found it was the disk solid state drive (SSD) used as a cache to speed up certain operations. Arrgh.

    I stuck my old hard drive in the hard drive docking station and was ready to be cloned partition SSD and all partitions on the hard drive to the hard drive and the removal or at least unplug the SSD drive to get rid of this problem. The software told me that the SSD is shaped as MPR (or something like that) while the main hard drive is formatted as GPT, which are different types of hard drive, formatting, so you cannot copy these different types of partitions on a hard drive.

    So here's my options as I see them:

    (1) I have to either disable the SSD, but I don't know how and I don't know if the computer will always start the same. Windows is partially installed on SSD? I do not know.

    (2) to clone and replace the DSS about the same way I did with the main hard drive. I can get the SSD according to Amazon for $49: Kingston Digital 60 GB SSDNow V300 SATA 3 2.5 (height of 7mm) with adapter Solid State Drive SV300S37A / 60G.

    For the option #2 above, the only problem is that I have no idea where the OEM SSD of ScanDisk is currently installed in my computer! It is in the hard drive cage? I don't see anything else installed there. I thought it was in the cage directly above the hard drive cage, but I think that what I was looking at was the front memory card reader/USB ports. I don't have on CD Player installed and I can see where it is. Help!

    PS: I also downloaded EaseUS Partition Master 10.2 and it allows to analyze the SSD drive. While it was scanning it found 9 bad blocks (on tens of thousands of blocks), but when he finished the analysis it says there is a lot of blocks. For this to happen on an SSD, which is supposed to be more reliable than hard disks of small, to make this so much more aggravating situation. At least, I upgraded my hard drive 2 TB to 3 TB and know now that I can do. Sigh.

    Yes, I had a frusrtrating very experience with HP customer support, even after it was raised to a case manager based in the United States, who called me home. She found no part at all in its computer system and wanted to send me in my whole PC to a service center customer (it was still under warranty) which would take at least 3 weeks. I said no and went forward and the DSS out of my computer. I stopped receiveing the error messages and did not notice a slow down in performance, but went ahead and bought and installed this one, just in case it actually provides an advantage: My Digital 32 GB SSD Bullet Proof (on Amazon for $25).

    As a note to end funny to this drama, about 6 months after my discussion with HP support I describe above, I have randomly mailed an envelope of HP with the exact 16 GB SSD, they said that they didn't in their system. It also included an envelope to return my faulty SSD and a stern note saying if they do not receive the defective item within 3 days my credit card (that I never gave them) would be charged. I threw a long time ago the defective item and just throw it back into a drawer... or maybe that I returned it in the envelope for return of defective product? I don't remember really.

    In any case, it was a horrible customer service experience, and since then I have another HP Envy (my PC 3 year to my son) have a hard drive and video card fail at the same time. I replaced the two after a few problems, but no matter what I do, it can get its setup dual monitor want to work more. I tried several video cards and nothing.

    All of these factors combined caused me write off HP for the future PC purchases. The guys in my company IT say it's the reason why we only buy Dell computers at work (we have hundreds of maintain). They do not use strange pieces like these small SSD cache records, and their parts are standard and easy to replace because of the case. I'll either get a Dell or ASUS as my next PC.
