Satellite A40-241: what DVD-/ + R - RW can I use?

I thought I had a DVD burner but I'm bad, only the CD. Can I install a DVD R - RW, or is the only option to buy an external driver to connect to my laptop? What is the best option and which does not implement this?

Hello

Well, I recommend you to buy an external DVD burner.
Usually it s much cheaper as an intern and each external burner should be compatible because it s connected with firewire or USB2 (I would have preferred the firewire connection)

You should also know that you can not use every internal drive. It depends on the csel/slave/master settings. These parameters are fix and it of not possible to change or on the desktop by switching the jumper.
If you want to buy an internal drive, so you should contact Toshiba service partner in your country for a compatible.

But I prefer externally.

    Hello

    Well, the best way is to ask the service partner Toshiba for compatible readers and supported.
    The fact is that if you buy a non compatible drive BIOS will not recognize this device.
    I found some information on the internet and it seems these drives should work.
    Toshiba SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW and Pioneer G8CC0001L810 DVD +-RW

    But I'm sure that you'll get a drive compatible and right service in your country.

  • Satellite M70-192: what modules of RAM can I use?

    I would like to know what type of RAM I could use with my M70-192. I need to add another 512 MB module. So, for example is compatible kingston more or Micron or what?

    I can't find Toshiba around the House me...!

    Hello

    What you can do is google for this module, or you can order from the Toshiba service partner.

  • Satellite L20-100 - what modules of RAM can I use for the upgrade?

    Hi all

    I have TOSHIBA Satellite L20-100 and I need to upgrade the ram memory up to 2 GB.
    I found these models on the internet but I don't know that it is compatible with my computer laptop or not.

    the following module on the eBay store:

    * 1 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz 1 GB DDR laptop 2 NB RAM *.
    * Hynix 1 GB RAM DDR2 5300 s - computer notebook memory 667 MHz *.
    * ASint 1 GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 PORTABLE 200 pin MEMORY *.

    Already now I have 512 DDR2 667 Mhz

    Or any knows from where can I update the correct RAM?

    Hello

    Theoretically, you can use all modules store because all the modules to meet specifications, DDR2-RAM, 1 GB, etc. for example.

    In your case, I'd take the Kingston RAM. I've never heard ASint RAM, but I have good experiences with RAM Kingston. I always use Kingston RAM to upgrade my notebooks and never had any problems.

    Last but not least, you can also buy RAM of an authorized service provider.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A40-241: I would like to display CPU

    I have a Satellite A40-241 with Celeron 2.70 Ghz 128 L2, BUS 400. I would like to change it with a processor 1 MB of cache L2 as Dothan or something. The motherboard supports such a processor. I bought a DDR PC2100 256 ram so I now 512.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    CPU Exchange issues are really often here on the forum. Usually laptops are not so flexible for hardware upgrade as workstations because of miniaturization. On many laptops the CPU upgrade or replacement is not possible due to a permanent connection. If the processor is faulty main Board must be replaced.

    I also read a few topics that some guys are upgraded CPU on some more latest and recent Satellite models but I really don t know if it is a good idea. The fact is that the entire hardware infrastructure is built exactly to work on the best way. As in the best way, I mean a few things:
    The BIOS is designed for specific physical infrastructure
    Power processor must be defined and allow consumption of mobile computing (new and faster CPU needs more power)
    Computer laptop cooling system is also suitable to work optimally. Faster processor will produce more heat and the temperature will be much higher. The result can be permanent cooling fan running or still overheating.
    Don t forget that designed Toshiba machine tool of Eve may also have some problems with the new CPU control

    I put t really know if it's really a good idea and I recommend you to use the maximum RAM for this device. Believe me, the CPU has enough power and if you use more Ram, you'll see that the unit will go much quicker and there is no risk of overheating.
    The last interesting thing is maybe how will modernize the costs?

  • What HARD drive max can I use satellite 3000 514

    Hey all,.

    What is usable by the 3000-514 maximum capacity hard drive. It comes standard with 20 GB but I can't find anything online that gives this information.

    Kind regards
    Samurai Sjakkie

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure but to my knowledge the BIOS of Satellite 3000 supports a limitation of the HARD drive and you can only use the IDE 2.5 ", 9.5 mm HDD s up to 30 GB.
    Seems that BIOS will not recognize large s 30 GB HARD drive!

    I found this info somewhere in the internet. But you know the guy. These are only suggestions. If you wish, you can try any other disk HARD s i.e. 40 or 60 GB. It would be interesting to know if the HARD disk is running or not. Are you referring to the merchant of HARD drive if it of possible to test some HARD drive sizes!

    If you have more information, please report it here! Thank you ;) see you later

  • Satellite A300-1IK - installation after Windows I can't use the multimedia keys

    I tried to clean my laptop, so I installed Windows7 64-bit using my code, but now that I also donwloaded all drivers, I still can't use easy media keys (as for Windows Media Player, or those who must play/stop music, ect..)

    No one knows how to fix this?

    Hi dilettafornasiero,

    I think you forgot to install Toshiba value added Package this package contains the driver for these buttons (lighted) media where you can start Windows media player, for example.

    You should check the Web from Toshiba site again and search for VAP also indicated for Satellite A300. Download and install the package and after I restarted the lighted buttons should start working.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite P10 722: what Mini-PCI WLAN can I integrated?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P10 722. It seems to be ready wireless (it has an LED to show the WLAN activity). I would use an internal Mini-PCI card in it. Ideally, it would be a b/g card.

    Anyone know what model/part number Mini-PCI card will work with this laptop.
    She is not in the list of compatibility of the any of the maps on this page (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/options_and_accessories_search.jsp?z=16&service=UK & selOptionCategory = 4696)

    Thanks for your help,
    Shane

    Hello Shane

    Sorry, but this kind of information can give you just the authorized service partner. I don't know if the P10 722 is ready WLAN but you can check only. In the lower corner of the unit, you will find WiFi coverage. Remove it carefully and check if there are two antenna WLAN (black and white) cables. If so, the device is definitely ready WLAN.

    Contact the Service partner and ask them for you to adapt to your model of laptop. As far as I know, the consultation is free.

    Just for info. One of my friends has P10 with WLAN (802 11b Agere) card.

  • Satellite Pro C650 - what startup programs I can disable?

    After about two weeks with a new Satellite Pro C650 that I bought for my wife, a light user, she is about to pounce on me.

    Everything runs slowly. Click Start: wait. Open the control panel: wait. The time-out period is of the order of 20 to 30 seconds. Internet is often more slow - especially Internet Explorer, which often goes in a State does not. (Google Chrome run better even if it's not great either) Measures taken up to now include a defragmentation of the C: drive, which was 5% defragmented. I did a scan troubleshooting out of the control panel and it informs me that I have a lot of programs that run at startup and suggests that disable some. I had read previously that there is a problem with this Toshiba.

    The question therefore is what to disable? I don't know what most of the programs are or what they do. I'll list the programs here and then gladly take suggestions. Furthermore, BitDefender has ranked three times in the startup list. I have two of them disabled for what it's worth.

    The only apps I downloaded were BitDefender and Adobe Acrobat. McAfee antivirus has been removed. Other laptops in the House work fine with the same broadband wireless connection. Hoping someone can help and tell me what I can disable.

    The startup list:
    SAIICpl Application
    Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
    Message Center
    SmartFaceVWatcher
    Catalyst Control Center
    Nero BackItUp
    Default handler
    BitDefender 2011 (figure three times)
    Adobe Acrobat
    Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager
    All of these Toshiba applications:
    -Power Saver
    -Zoom utility
    -Flash Cards
    -ReelTime
    -TEMPRO
    -HDD SSD Alert
    -Volume regulators
    -Computer laptop registration
    -Gas station
    -Application of web camera

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, you can discover yourself how unique and applications that are controlled by these applications use google for more details.

    But Nero BackItUp, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager can be disabled wihotu having issues with the laptop

    TEMPRO is a tool of Toshiba which analyzes systems and provides information on the new Toshiba driver updates
    It s your own decision whether or not you want to use
    Registration for laptop helps you to register the warranty of notebooks and Station Service provides an option to optimize the performance of laptops, but it s nice to have, but it of not very important

  • Satellite M70 - 394 - what HARD drive I can install?

    I have a Satellite M70-394 (PSM70E) that I would like to upgrade the hard drive.

    Can you tell me what hard drive I'm able to install, such as what type of interface?
    Do you also know if I can run windows 7?
    and can you tell me if I installed a larger hard drive and a new operating system will be my original toshiba product recovery disk work.
    then where in my drive hard is my factory set windows xp so I can remove and install the new operating system

    Post edited by: frederic

    Hello

    I m not a Satellite M70 owner but as far as I know this laptop comes with SATA drives. But you can check yourself if you remove the HARD drive and then you can see which interface it is.
    If you have a SATA interface, you can buy each HARD drive you want. On interface SATA there is no capacity limit.

    Normally you can install Windows 7 but it s not released yet. Theoretically, it should work but I'll wait until it's official market.

    With a new HARD disk, you use the Toshiba recovery disc too. Why not? It s not dependent on the HARD drive you have so just boot make up and follow the instructions on the screen.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know. :)
