• Satellite P100-429: Question about upgrading the processor

  When I bought this model 6 months ago I got this one with just a T5500 1.66 GHz but since then Intel reduced prices 40% it is me the upgrade option.

  Someone at - any idea how I can update, the following list lists the T7600 @ 2.33 GHz compatible on the Bus speed and execution step by step. The only difference being the memory cache L2, 4MB compared to my old one of the 2 MB that will have an effect.

  Hello

  Upgrading the CPU is a bit tricky on laptops and more often than not desirable and is not possible.
  After the CPU overheating upgrade, it would be possible that don t cooling modules are working properly and the laptop.
  Why? Well well, the CPU new and stronger products, more heat and the temperature would be Monte. The fan table that is stored in the BIOS will not correspond with the new CPU and the cooling fans would not correctly work.
  In addition, upgrading CPU will void your warranty! It's very risky!

  Anyway, looks like you certainly want to upgrade the processor?
  So I would check the chipset installed on your laptop.
  Try to know the details of the chipset and Intel page for compatible processors research!

• Equium P300-190 - Question about upgrading the processor

  Hello

  I just have a question for my CPU PC Toshiba laptop, I have a can of Equium P300-190 full to give model number if necessary the cpu is one supplied with the laptop.

  My question is I want to upgrade the processor but do not know which would be the best option and there are limits with the BIOS, etc. on board.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Probably it is not known to you that upgrading the CPU is not officially supported by the manufacturers of portable.

  The CPU upgrade is a tricky thing... the fact is that the CPU must be supported by chipset and BIOS.
  Where a party would not support the new processor, the unit will not light.

  So even if you use a CPU that is supported by the chipset (Intel GM965) there is a risk that the BIOS could not support the new processor...

  The laptop was equipped with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor T2390 (Merom code name) probably the other CPU Intel Pentium Dual-Core family-owned would be compatible, but to be honest, you won't see a performance improvement...

  So in my opinion it is not worth trying to upgrade the processor...

  In my opinion, you need to replace the HARD drive with an SSD... in that case you will get the performance improvement...

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade from the DVD UJ-850

  Hello

  I have a satellite A40, I recently installed a new motherboard to. Everything now works perfectly, and I plan to change the CDRW/DVD drive to a dvd burner.

  The current player is a panasonic-UJDA750. I intend to replace it with a UJ-850 for the dvd burner. Could someone please advise whether it is a good drive to go to any other suggestion and if I need different drivers for the drive to work or is it just a straight swap out.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  Before you buy a slim drive you must be sure that this drive is compatible with the Satellite A40.
  There is a big difference between external drives for desktop PCs and laptops.
  The master/slave/c-salt settings on slim drives are fixed and cannot be changed.

  If you buy a slim with wrong settings drive, the BIOS does not recognize the drive and you'll get an error IDE #1.

  I recommend that you contact the service provider allowed in your country and ask guys for compatible DVD burner for you A40.

  As a reader of DVD-R/RW compatible, you can use the Toshiba SD-R6112 or drive Pioneer G8CC0001L810 drive.
  I also found some readers of DVD-Multi (CD-R/RW DVD-RAM/R/RW) compatible:
  Panasonic G8CC00019810
  TEAC G8CC00013810

  Sorry for the strange number, but I guess these are the numbers of Toshiba.
  Try google. You may find a full name.

• Satellite A200SE - Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I am trying to upgrade the disk of 60 GB to 250 GB. The operating system is Windows Vista Business. The new drive is a Western Digital Scorpio SATA.

  1 - image backup of the disk system external HARD using backup/restore Vista
  2. use the system recovery disk to reload Windows.
  3 - the disk is formatted and Windows installs apparently. (From recovery disk.)
  4. after reboot, Setup is aborted with message saying (roughly) "Setup cannot continue because of the configuration".
  5 - as usual the message gives no indication as to the cause.

  All the tips and forums involve replacing drive HARD is simple. Does anyone have an idea?

  Ideas would be very appreciated!

  Hi scamp126,

  I m wondering recovery disc doesn t work because usually this disk still works, you install a new HARD drive

  What you can try is a Microsoft Windows disk. Perhaps that the recovery disk is scratched and the files can't be read properly.

• Satellite A40: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I got old A40 son of infections of Virus and spyware. Now, I want to improve.

  At the present time, I have still the old Bios and a 30 GB IDE drive at 4200 RPM. (model n ° PSA45E-007N1-EN)
  It's like the A10 that accepts maximum 60 GB drive or I can't do big?

  One provider suggested that I stay at 4200 RPM, but to ask Toshiba what they recommend, so far unanswered.
  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  How have you tried to ask Toshiba? As far as I know, you can ask the service provider authorized in your country information but not a Toshiba directly.

  However, I studied a bit here in the forum and found this thread:

  and this one

  It seems that there is no official information, but the user henrivdw has updated the A30 (similar to A40) with 80 GB HARD drive successfully.

  Good luck

• Question about upgrading the CPU for Satellite 1110-Z14

  Hello

  My satellite 1110-z14 has a processor intel mobile celeron @ 1.5 ghz. The processor is based on architecture p4 - it should be a northwood-256.
  Is it possible to upgrade the processor?

  1110-z20 is powered by the mobile celeron @ 2.0 ghz - all other technical specifications except the hard drive are the same... (ati radeon m6 with 16 MB, usb 1.1 mob and so on...).

  What do you think, can I upgrade the processor?
  Can what cpu I use?

  Thanks for your replies!

  Hello

  AFAIK the 1110 series computer is equipped with an Intel 845MZ system controller.
  I found some details about Intel 845MZ chipset on the Intel page. It must be able to manage the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 - M with 400 MHz FSB Processor
  http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/845MP/index.htm
  On the Intel page, you can find the entire family of the CPU.

  But generally the replacement of CPU and the upgrade is not recommended and no one can say whether the OS will run stable after these updates, so be careful.

• Satellite A50 543: Questions about upgrading the HARD drive

  I'm looking to upgrade the internal hard disk on my A50 543 to 100 GB at 7200 RPM. The original drive is a Fujitsu 60GM 4200. I have found no information on the Internet on other readers line CMS that have been tested and found compatible with the A50. I need at least 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM to edit video.

  Suppliers meet usually only with so many laptops on the market, they cannot test each hard drive with any laptop, but can tell if it is compatible with the specifications of the computer and the hard disk specifications and are so confident that their information is accurate that they offer a money back guarantee (excluding shipping costs)

  My question is
  (1) how can I be sure that the drive will work (considering the high international shipping costs) to 100%?

  (2) none of the contributors to this forum may recommend a hard drive internal 5400 RPM or more it has installed on the same model specification?

  Thank you. You are my last hope

  Best regards
  Vince

  Hello

  If you want to be 100% sure that works on your HARD drive, so I think the best way is to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Here, you can order all the devices and parts compatible and supported.
  I also found these Toshiba hard disks that must be compatible:
  HDD2187B 20 GB 4 200
  HDD2190B 40 GB 4 200
  HDD2193 40 GB 5 400
  HDD2189B 60 GB 4 200
  HDD2194 60 GB 5 400
  HDD2188B 80 GB 4 200
  80 GB 5 400 HDD2191

  In this case, you can use a disk HARD of GB 5 400 80 but I put t found no information about 100 GB of HARD drive.

• Satellite A40: Question about product dvd recovery

  Hello

  Please help me on my computer toshiba Satellite A40 laptop...
  I want to reformat my HARD drive with operating system XP...

  My first question is, it installs my XP OS after that I run the recovery cd?
  I'm afraid that after I run the recovery cd, I'll lose my OS XP...

  I don't have an XP CD... I only got this product recovery cd (disc1)

  There a disc2 because the cd that I got was just disc1...

  Please help me with this...
  Thank you

  Restore CD contains recovery image. Recovery image include the operating system, drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

  When you install recovery image you own preinstalled WXP. For cell old models were most two disks: 1/2 and 2/2 so if you the second you will not be able to install the OS completely.

• Is satellite C660D - possible to upgrade the processor?

  Is it possible to upgrade the C660D processor E-240 to an E-350.

  1. the BIOS will accept the change?
  2 E-350 water supply?
  3. expected problems?

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, it is possible to swap the CPU, but an upgrade is not supported by Toshiba. This means that you lose the warranty and no one can say if other types of CPU are supported or not because there is no list with other processors.

  Can also make sure that the current fan and cooling module is good enough for better CPU?

• Satellite L310 - how to upgrade the processor?

  Can I upgrade my processor?
  How to upgrade processor T5750 to T8300?

  Hello

  Many people ask the CPU upgrade, but the answer is always the same;
  Update CPU is not really recommended and in most cases not possible for different reasons.
  First, BIOS was not designed and tested with different processors.
  Secondly, it depends on the chipset what CPU would be compatible.
  Check the specifications of the chipset.

  Finally and above all, the laptop must be disassembled and it's tricky!
  You could damage other parts and make more trouble.

• Satellite A60: Question about upgrade from the CD - RW drive

  I have a laptop A60 sitting with a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive. I want to upgrade to a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. I understand that I have the choice between UJDA 750 and the SD-R2512. Someone can offer a preference and I need firmware / drivers for these to work?
  Is it simply a matter of just replacing the unit?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I assume that the best idea is to have the DVD burner. In this case, there is possibility to burn CDs and DVDs all formats. I found the info A60 also comes with super-multi drive (TEAC DV-W24E) and this should be also compatible with your A60.

  For the feature, the firmware is not relevant as the compatibility of the player.
