Satellite A50 1.6 Ghz cpu only working 598 Mhz

I have a friends satellite A50 here, he said, that it was slow!
XP reports the cpu @ 598 Mhz, reports of Everest this multiplier @ 6 X 100 Mhz.
Please could someone explain how I can get this laptop speed?
I found other people with the same problem but can't seem to find a solution... :(
Any help would be appreciated :)

Hello

May I ask if something has been replaced on this laptop? Motherboard, CPU, or other devices?
I found some people here in the forum who reported a similar problem.
In all cases, the motherboard or the CPU were replaced and the technician was forget to update the firmware of law and therefore the CPU couldn't run faster!

In this case the ASP must be contacted for the new update

    Hello

    My CPU is stuck at 598 MHz. I think it has been like this since I bought it 2 years ago. I am in Australia at the moment and very rude support could not help.

    I did a search in google and got a few answers, but nothing helped. I tried to change the management settings power, BIOS settings, BIOS upgrade, etc.. Nothing! The CPU runs at a max of 598 Mhz

    Any ideas. I heard that there is a utility that could solve this problem, but toshiba has taken off the Web site for any reason

    Andrew

    No, no update of the utility or the BIOS update will help.
    It seems that the firmware must be updated on this laptop.

    For the most part this microcode update is necessary after the replacement of the motherboard.

    The key is a utility called 'pom200t1 '.

    You will need the following.

    A floppy disk or if you do not have an external floppy drive, or if you are common sense to be able to boot a file from a CD player.
    You must also WinImage, as all files that you download come as .ima files
    Download pom200t1 - V1.5.zip and pom200t1.zip (if if doesn't work either).

    You can find them here:

    http://www.stormpaintball.com/Toshiba/pm765.bin (this one is a ditch last attempt).
    Then follow the instructions on the site I posted before:

    Symptom: CPU remains constantly 598 MHz.

    * Process: *.

    (1) boot in the BIOS. (Press "Esc" during the boot process, before the loading of the operating system, but after having entered your password, if you use the startup password protection).

    2) look under 'Other' category.

    (3) if the motherboard does not have enough information about the CPU, the category 'Dynamic CPU frequency Mode' appear on (you won't see it).

    If the laptop is in this state that he won't ever faster than 598 Mhz until you perform the following procedure.
    Note: Although this utility said it's for a Toshiba Portege M200, the particular difficulty you need may work on other Toshiba laptops.
    He has worked on 3 different Toshiba Satellite Pro M15 S405s, but * USE at YOUR OWN RISK *.

    (1) start Windows and create the startup disk in the pom200t1.exe file.

    (2) boot from the diskette you just made.

    (3) in the menu, select the initial repair option 2 "set config".

    (4) in the following menu, select option 1 'Initial cofiguration"(misspelled)

    (5) after a few seconds, you should see "Writing a file is over!" and the laptop restarts automatically without asking for confirmation.

    (6) when restarting the laptop go back into the BIOS and look under 'Other' category. You should now see the "dynamic CPU frequency Mode". Make sure it is set to "Dynamically switchable" for the CPU limitation.

    7) restart Windows and make sure that the CPU can throttle in normal conditions. The Intel SpeedStep technology icon should now be in the systray. Go to the Toshiba power management / Power Saver Properties and update all of your methods to save power to use technology SpeedStep that you prefer (fixed or automatic) and mount all caps speed processor, or you can go above 798 MHz because cursors will always be to their previous settings (4 or less), while they can now go up to 7. Let me know how you go.
    I have fixed the CPU now just need to find out why my fan only works when I activate it manually!

    Hello

    It of simply the case; the firmware must be updated!
    After replacing the motherboard ASP always update the firmware on the motherboard. If it has not been done, the CPU is only 598 Mhz.

    You must contact the ASP for a update

  • Satellite M30-801: CPU only works with a 600 MhZ

    Hi people, I have a strange problem since my PC back to toshiba support (lcd problem, on assistance report i red that the pcb has been replaced): my CPU goes up to 600 MhZ. I tried to update the version of the bios from 1.20 to 1.70 successfully and I have restored the default value believing it could be a related problem of bios , but nothing changes.

    The problem is present in a new installation of Windows XP (from recovery CD), so I think I could exclude a software problem.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    The update of BIOS does ' t solve this problem.
    It seems that the Toshiba service partner forgot to start several compatibility tests. This is necessary after some repair procedures. Without this additional test, the CPU does not work with maximum efficiency. Well, there is nothing to see. You must contact the service again and it should solve this problem.

  • Satellite A50: Engraver of DVD & CPU upgrade questions

    Hi how far can upgrade my A 50 1.5 ghz centrino and Motherboard can't cos 1.5 dual-core is really not enough for me any more. I know there are a lot of problem on cpu upgrade but I need just to answer far?

    I also change my DVD burner to +/-dvd burner, and how I can do it. I also heard that toshiba recalls batery and I saw my model of laptop also on this list.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, but I don t think that the motherboard will support the new Dual Core CPU.
    It is a technology simply different and you should also know that the CPU upgrade on laptops is not very easy as on the desktop PC.
    AFAIK the A50 was delivered with different processors and must be compatible with the bus of 400 Mhz Intel Pentium M 1.5/1.6/1.7Ghz and bus of 400 Mhz Intel Celeron M 1.2/1.3/1.4Ghz.

    Anyway, as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support updates and you will not find any official information about updates and upgrade problems.
    I think that the biggest problem could be the highest temperature, BIOS and chipset compatibility. Furthermore it possible to some Toshiba tools such as energy saving does not work and the product overheats.

    If you want to upgrade or replace the CD/DVD drive, so I recommend that you first contact the service partner Toshiba for devices compatible and taken in charge.
    This is important because not all readers are supported by the BIOS.
    Portable players are set to master/slave or C - salt that is why it is very important that you will buy a drive to right. Drive with bad settings is not recognized by the BIOS, and there is no chance to change the master/slave or c - salt settings!

    Now something of the battery:
    Well, I read on the page Toshiba that only some laptops which were manufactured between March and May 2006 are affected.
    I recommend to check this site Web from Toshiba of the FAQ for more details:

    I hope I could help

    According to the manual the two slots is normal PC card connectors so that the WLAN card should run in both slots.

  • Satellite A210 - 10 c only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz

    Hello

    I have a very big problem. One day, I look in Vista on my resource monitor and see that the max freuquence is only 50%.

    So first of all I think that is no problem because the assets 'energy savings' energy recorded.
    I have a Satellite A210 - 10 c portable.

    So I switch to maximum power and perform a test of prime95. But hell, the max freuquence has not changed. I also installed everest and cpu z, but all programs show the same to me:

    My laptop only works with the 800 Mhz instead of 1.6 Ghz!

    I'm looking for drivers for the AMD processor, but you need not for Vista. Update all the drivers of Toshiba and Programms and BIOS (in fact, it is the 1.9).

    Nothing helps.

    As a last test, I reinstalled Vista, but also did not help.

    And now I'm at a loss what to do.

    I hope someone can help me.

    Good bye...

    Have you installed the Vista using the recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Vista?

    I ask because the restore CD contains all drivers for Toshiba and yellow exclamation marks should not be apparently in Device Manager.

    If you used the original CD of Vista I think that you have not installed the Package of Intel Robson.

    I found the package of Robson on the Toshiba driver-> Satellite P200 area page.

    Maybe you should check this.

  • Satellite A50-110 crashed - replacement of the CPU

    Hello.

    I should say this microprocessor appreciate supports laptop Satellite A50-110, crashed and they wanted change.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You want to replace the CPU?
    Do you think its faulty?
    How did you check that?

    To be honest this A50 is truly oldie the CPU that was used is Intel Pentium M 725 (1.60 GHz, 2 MB Cache, 400 MHz FSB, L2)

    I'm not sure that this chipset was built in but generally if you want to use the new CPU, ensuring that the chipset would support the new processor.
    But even if the chipset would support the new processor, there is always a question regarding BIOS support it might be possible that BIOS wouldn't treat a new CPU.

  • Satellite A50 PSA50A - CPU, RAM, HDD upgrade question

    I wanted a laptop and my partner who is not real Smart PC (bless his heart) was released without my knowleadge and bought me a second hand laptop. That I really appreciate his kindness.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model PSA50A - 7 k 047 number.
    I know a little PC, but not much I can change a hard drive and add memory and processor for a desktop computer but have little knowledge with laptops.

    This one has a hard disk of 40 GB and ram 240 and I guess is a Pentium 4.

    -What I want to know is how old is this model, and how much I can spend it.
    -What is the maximum memory, hard drive and it will take a Core duo.

    I've never had a Toshiba before but I heard that they are really good and reliable.

    Another issue is that I went into Device Manager and then system devices, and then the speakers, I found there was a driver that has not been installed. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC

    The reason why I ask is that I tried to plug in external speakers and they would not work, I couldn't find a speaker headphone and microphone port. I thought it's maybe because the driver above has not been installed. Anyone know where I could find and download the driver.

    When replying do not forget I am 50 years old and there are 5 years, I don't know even how to set up a browser, I taught myself everything I know now... I have 2 blogs and do a lot of marketing, but I'm not so good on the side of tech.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pauline

    Hi pauline28
    Goo gle is your best friend... ;-)

    I guess it is 4 or 5 years...

    I am only guessing, but the limitation of the ram upgrade should be 1024 MB depending on the operating system and chipset...
    Take a look at the job (it can be downloaded on the website of toshibas)

    all the drivers for this laptop can be downloaded from toshiba too.

    the upgrade of the 120 GB HDD can work but there is no guarantee, perhaps that you have updated the bios

    the upgrade of the central unit is the most foolish thing to do... why?
    OK the cpu that works in your laptop be cheap
    core-duo won't work in this chipset/socket... (not sure)

    but make sure that this device will do things like surf the internet ;-) not in water ;-)
    play the music, if the driver is installed
    and the hard drive with 40 GB of space will be sufficient, if you put all your cds top ;-)

    It may be a good idea to pay a specialist for this 20 minutes to check and install the proper drivers...

  • L50-B-1NM satellite - wifi only works near the router

    Hi just bought this laptop for my daughter Toshiba L50-B-1NM 15.6 inches processor Ci3 4 GB 1 TB and wifi only works if he was sitting next to the router.

    It will connect to the internet if the ethernet cable is connected, BUT for wifi, the laptop has been sitting almost touch the router. The rest of the House works well.

    Please could you help me before I take it back to the shop and eventually making a fool of myself.

    I'm really not good with technology so if you do not answer could you explain to me like a baby please ;) lol

    Thank you very much, totally disappointed at the moment because it cost me a lot of money for it :(

    Hi maria,

    I think you should consider a fact: the L50-B-1NM Satellite was equipped with an Intel 802.11ac + card agn combo Wifi/BT.

    802.11 AC is a new WLan standard that isn't taken care of by all old WLan routers.
    But of course, the standard 802.11 A / G or N must be supported by older devices correctly.

    I think first of all you must check if the wireless performance question isn't related to energy saving settings. I guess during wifi problems, the laptop uses battery power
    In this case we would use different power plan settings.

    Please check the settings that are in the advanced within the current energy saving Central WLan power settings.

    Where this doesn t help you solve the problem of WiFi signal weak, you should contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer to check the connection to the WLan antenna.

    It may be possible that the antenna isn't properly connected, which is originally a weak WiFi signal.

    Because the laptop is under warranty, it should be fix toll-free number.
