Satellite C650 - Question about the capacity of the HARD disk

I just bought a Satellite C650. The specifications indicate 320 GB hard drive, but the diagnostic system indicates the disk space is 286 GB (free capacity is GB 261).

Please indicate why this might be the case.

Hi 12345,

It is normal that you lose disk space after formatting the drive. 286GB is the normal capacity of a formatted hard drive 320, so everything is ok with your laptop.

If you want to learn more about capacity on hard drives and need more technical information, why you only 286GB you can read this interesting Wiki:

  • Question on the hard disk on Satellite M40X

    I'm working on a clients M40x and the hard drive broke down and I would like to replace it and I have some options and I was wondering if they will work.

    Currently, there is a MK6025GAS in which is fried. Below are the options I have.

    Hi dude

    You can use the hard disks of each production. It s any HDD manufacturing is. The HARD drive is important! So you need a drive that supports the enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

    The SATA drives are not compatible.

    The MK6034GAX 60 GB HDD and MK8032GAX 80 GB HARD drive looks to support the ATA-100 interface (ATA-6). So, in my opinion, the hard drives must be compatible and should run

  • Satellite P10: Question about the limits of upgrade of RAM and HARD drive

    What are the limits to upgrade my laptop Satellite P10? Currently, I use 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512) and I still have the original 60 GB 4200 RPM HARD drive. I'm mainly interested in upgrading my hard drive to at least get a 7200 RPM 100 GB disc. Better would be one of the ones 24 hours server as Hitachi HTE721010G9AT00, I have just turned off my computer. Which one to take and are there limits (BIOS) (keeping in mind that there will be 200 and even the 250 GB drives next year)?

    RAM: should I put two 200pin SO-DIMM 333 or 533 or should not change at all as it works very well and stabil now?

    Hello

    In my eyes you should follow the guidance of Toshiba line and must use the memory modules that are recommended in the user guide. But if you can also try to test with 400 Mhz or 533 Mhz. I think that each dealer notebook or memory could do that.

    I think the BIOS might be able to handle the hard drive with capacity of 30 GB / 40 GB / 60 GB / 80 GB, Bus Master IDE with ultra DMA 100 synchronous
    In my opinion the BIOS does not recognize the larger HARD drive.

  • Satellite A100 - questions about the keys to the left hand and added value package

    Hello:

    The work of doesn´t special keys on left hand. I mean, the keys under the power on button which usually starts the web browser and works with the DVD.

    Another question. The value-added package that was installed on my laptop has got a call from the Toshiba Fash utility maps. When I upgraded to the latest version (previosly I had to uninstall it) this SW is not installed. How can I get it back?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Value added contains several applications:
    -Toshiba components pilot common
    -Toshiba Utilities
    -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
    -Toshiba Power Saver
    -Toshiba Button support
    -Toshiba zooming utility
    -Toshiba Flash cards

    So as you can see, the button support is included in this package. I don't know what the problem is on your laptop, but when the VAP is installed correctly the multimedia buttons and Flash cards should work correctly.

    Try again please remove VAP system, restart the computer and install the latest version available. This latest version works well on the different laptop models (on my Satellite P200D too) and it should work on your too.

  • Question about the new disk on the Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    This hard drive is compatible with my Toshiba Satellite A series and you have a better solution please respone?

    Love, peace,

    The HARD drive is very nice.
    The A100 PSAA9 series supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.
    The 160 GB should also be compatible because some units of the A100 series were already equipped with 160 GB hard drives.

    I think it s a HARD drive supported.

  • Satellite A300 - Questions about the second HARD drive Bay

    To the underside of the laptop, there is an empty Bay for a second HDD internal.
    It is in the lower left corner (the first internal hard drive is on the lower side right) and the Bay has a sata connector.
    The plastic cover of the empty Bay extended columns so nothing (not even a hard disk) can be positioned on the inside.

    Someone knows:
    -If the sata connector works
    -If I can connect a secondary internal hard drive which work together with the primary
    -Where I could order the support for the secondary hard drive (i.e. toshiba code)
    -Where I could order a plastic cover without extensive columns, bcz I want to break.

    If my question is not clear, I can upload a photo.

  • Satellite 2410: Question about the different ways to use BlueTooth

    Hello

    I can't find a place to buy a bluetooth module for my Toshiba Satellite 2410 - the manual says I can, and I know that there is space on the underside of the laptop to insert it.

    I can't seem to find one to buy - anyone know if they actually exist, because I'm starting to think not? ! .. .where is the best way to bluetooth enable laptop to buy a USB adapter?
    If so, a good market will affect the download speed when using the Internet? And what is the difference between an SD card and a USB bluetooth adapter?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I don't know your name of your Satellite 2410 but I found that a similar Satellite 2410 603 on the Bluetooth device is not available. Only the WiFi card is optional. This means that it is possible to install a wireless network card. The slot for the update of the Wlan card you will find at the bottom of the unit AND NOT the Bluetooth slot.

    However, if you want to use BT technology so the easiest and cheapest way is to buy the USB Bluetooth key.

    PS: BT has nothing to do with the internet, and it has no negative influence on the data downloading or transmission of data from the internet.

  • Satellite C650 - Question about cooling fan

    I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite C650 with processor i3 Intel and Windows 7 Home. When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air (there only the circle mark on the case under the cooling fan). Pls confirm me it is a manufacturing defect or not.

    I also ran a cpu + the base temperature software and find core temp goes up to 72 ° C in one step and I feel very hot blowing through the radiator.

    Hey Buddy,

    > When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air
    Who is normal and it s according to the laptop and the material. Different laptops have different cooling systems. This would mean that there are some laptops with no holes directly under the fan air intake. For fresh air holes are placed elsewhere to generate some air flow. If the other pieces of equipment can be cooled as well.

    There are already some threads here in the forum and as you can see it's really normal:

    How did you check the temperature?
    Always it is if everything works well don t care about the temperature. In this case, that the laptop could overheat, it would off himself to protect the equipment. ;)

  • Satellite M60 - cannot access the HARD disk but update the BIOS

    Hello

    I want to update the bios on a Satellite M60
    the problem is that I can't access either on my hard drive it still reboot

    So, first I want to try to update my Bios but as I can't work with windos XP I need to do it with a Dos command.

    is there any solution for this?

    Thank you very much

    and why you want to update the BIOS?

    Even if the BIOS is not updated, the laptop should work well and should start the Windows operating system.
    This means that the problem with your laptop is unrelated to the old version of the BIOS.

    Have you tried to check the HARD drive or to reinstall Win XP?

  • Tecra 8000: Question on the HARD disk and the password

    Hi all
    A market recently my son bought an old laptop Toshiba T8000.

    Personally, I have absolutely no knowledge of the laptop myself as a desktop is everything I've ever used.
    However, I recharged the battery and the power, it asks for a password, even if what I believe to be the HD is missing (Vacant housing, left under the keyboard and behind the battery)

    Our local store offers him an incredible £121 a new HD

    HA wasted his pocket money on it or can he get a password and the HD at reasonable price to fit?

    Any help is greatly welcomed.

    BREZ.

    Hello

    Especially the password appears at the beginning of the startup procedure because the BIOS password has been set.
    Unfortunately, you cannot delete or remove the BIOS password if the old password of BIOS is not known to you. Either contact you the person who sells you the device and ask for the password or you will contact the service partner in your country for a deletion.

    I guess that's a Tecra 8000 with the number PAT80XE.
    This unit is a little older and so I think that hard drives are rare, a little so more expensive.
    By the way: the device supports an EIDE HARD disk interface

    I have a computer laptop satellite A300 and want to connect it to my computer to stream TV and movies.
    I don't see where I would plug MIDI to my computer.
    Is it possible to do with this model?

    If not, can I get a plug that would stretch the capacity of the computer or I have to get a new computer?

    Thank you

  • Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

    My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

    I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

    I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

    The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

  • Satellite M30: Questions about the battery, SD, energy-saving card reader

    1. After looking through the forums, it seems that my problem is not uncommon: my Toshiba Satellite M30 seems to have a life of the battery for about 10 minutes. Power not connected to the adapter, Windows detects 100%... 99%... Then 3%. Throughout the life of the battery is about 10 minutes, and I don't know why. Does anyone know? (Info from BG: laptop about 2 years, not too used)

    2. How will I know exactly WHAT model of Toshiba Satellite M30 I? (There is a code after the M30-part - I need this to find out what batteries I need to buy to replace)

    3. What is the nearest Service Center, I can talk to the United Kingdom with regard to my battery problem? From Toshiba Web site lists 20 companies different with Toshiba in them to the United Kingdom, and I have no idea which we touch!

    4. my SD card reader is a bit faulty. To put a SD card, no message appears to recognize the card - the laptop just doesn't recognize at all, and I do not see "SD card" or equivalent in "My Computer". However, if I put an SD card, and then restart the computer, I can see the SD card, it simply does not update while the computer is on, when I restart - cures for this?

    5. Finally, can I download the software of management of TOSHIBA POWER SAVER? I downloaded from this site but right now the only option when I open the TOSHIBA CONSOLE is 'Mouse' - there is no standby power options or network options or anything.

    Thanks in advance, sorry there are so many questions and they are so different!

    Cheerio,
    John

    Hello

    1) looks like a dead battery. It s not unusual that the battery will discharge performance after about 2 years. As far as I remember, you can load and unload the battery for about 500 times. After this period, the lifetime battery decreases faster. The same symptom occurs for example with a cell phone battery. I think you should ask the new battery Toshiba service partner. PS: The guarantee covers the battery for about a year.

    (2) it's very easy at the bottom of the unit, you will find a label with the serial number and the name of detailed specifications.

    (3) visit this site:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true
    You will find the database with ASP together all over the world. These guys are responsible for replacements, repairs, etc.

    (4) number of SD card is very strange. On my Satellite SD card window opens if I insert the SD card. You can try to remove the SD card from the Device Manager reader and after that new reboot, the OS should has new charge card CD driver. Eventually, it helps.

    (5) I don't know what you mean exactly but on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the tool power Toshiba compatible and taken in charge. If you have downloaded from the area Sat M30 driver so I think you can use it only on this laptop.

    take easy B-)

  • Satellite L40 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 17 Q with Intel Celeron M CPU.

    The usual device temperature is about 60 degrees Celsius. I read that the Tj to this type of processors is 100 degrees Celsius.

    So my question is dedicated to the owners of laptops equipped with Intel Celeron M processors and of course for the hardware gurus.
    Is the operative temperature of 60 degrees Celsius of normal, and if not how do I decrease.
    My laptop is new and I make sure that the air flow openings are not jammed.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Don't worry, the CPU temperature. 60 degrees Celsius is certainly within the normal range, and there is no reason to worry about this. On my laptop Tecra, I noticed the temperature CPU about 62 degrees Celsius and drive HARD around 40 degrees Celsius.
