• Satellite L20-101: Question about memory PC2-4300 and PC2-4200 of mixture

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. He took 512 MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today, I added another module of RAM but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there something wrong with that? The two modules are DDR2 and 533 MHz and 512 MB.

  Hi Pawel,

  In principle, there is no problem with the mixture of slightly different types of RAM modules, but normally the total RAM will run at the speed of the slowest module. When your notebook detects the right amount of RAM from two sticks then it don't will don't... no problem.

• Satellite L20-101: Question on battery & BIOS password

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I have a Toshiba laptop satellite L20-101, so can u please answer my questions below.

  Is it better for the battery life to always stay connected to an electrical outlet when possible, or charge the battery and then use it until it needs to be recharged again? I mean what is best for the life of the battery, and I need to know if stay connected to AC power affects the battery life.

  How can I set a password for the laptop not windows? Because when I enter BIOS setup and set a password for user and supervisor. He just ask me about this password when I try to login to Setup again, but it is still continuous to the windows boot without asking me about a password.

  What should I do?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  The fact is that you can charge/discharge the battery about 500 times.
  After this period, the battery will lose performance.
  More recent laptops and batteries use the latest technology of load.
  But I recommend to remove the battery, if you work on the DC for a long time.
  In this case, you can extend the life of the battery and the performance

  If you want to set the BIOS password and it should appear at the beginning, you must activate the password at startup option in the BIOS.

• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Satellite P770 - 10 p - Question about drivers

  Hi all

  Since 1 week I Satellite P770 - 10 p on Windows 7 + SP1 with all the patches. I have 2 challenges.

  1. following driver does not work properly: * toshiba x 64 compatible acpi peripheral value logical and general usage *.

  2 OfficeJet 6500 connected via LAN * Scanner does not work via HP drivers.*

  Question 1
  -Pilot course that does not work is v2.0.0.1 (11 / 09 / 2007)
  -When I using the 'Value Added Package 1.5.4.64' version gets v2.0.0.3 (07 / 14 / 2009)
  -After 1 restart Windows, no longer issue.
  -After the 2nd reboot of Windows, I have the same problem with version v2.0.0.3 (disk hard could not be started...)

  Question 2
  The OfficeJet 6500 is already working on 2 other Toshiba laptops
  -Satellite M40-129 (Windows XP) ==> printer / Scanner works properly
  -Satellite L650-108 (Windows 7) ==> printer / Scanner works properly

  The driver of Toshiba 1 something to do with the scanner issue 2 that I deliver?

  Thank you
  Aykut

  Hi aykut76,

  Using the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or your own installation?
  Can you put the vendor and exact device ID? It would be useful to identify the exact device. But according to your assignment, it has something to do with the package of added value or HDD/SSD alert maybe

  Your printer, you need to contact the manufacture of the printer. This has nothing to do with Toshiba. Probably you have need new drivers or something else

• Satellite M70-122: Question about the necessary drivers for Win XP Pro

  Hello
  I formatted my Satellite M70-122 in order to install Win XP - Pro and so I lost all drivers and programs pre installed. It seems that the recovery CD is of no use in this case, and I was wondering if there was a driver CD, I could order.
  I found the drivers (62 so far) for my machine on the Toshiba site and I was as well, I was wondering if I should download and install all. What about programs like the CD/DVD burner?
  Where can I get them back?

  Thank you.

  Christophe

  Hello

  The Tools & Utilities CD but that contains all the necessary drivers is not delivered with the unit, can be created by the user himself. If the unit is installed with recovery media you can find under Toshiba assist > protect & difficulty > create CD drivers & tools.

  All these drivers, tools & utilities that you can use for your own installation. Otherwise you need to download them from Toshiba download page, and please check the instructions facilities document and install all things in order. Order of the facilities is very important.

  Good luck!

• Satellite C660-1F1 - Question about newer drivers and the speed of the memory

  Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?

  And second question: is it possible to make the fastest possible working memory supported? Don t BIOS options include options for the parameters of memory. Why the memory is running as low mhz in case of default? CPU - Z shows that the current frequency of dram is 532, 2 mhz. What is the maximum, it is at 667 mhz? Probably she can´t be 1 066 MHz as promised in the specs?

  Hi cryogenized,.

  > Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?
  Why you want to update your drivers? Do you expect a gain of performance with newer drivers?

  Way General, with official Toshiba drivers you are on the safe side because they are pre-tested. If you can make sure that they work properly and don t cause property damage. Install the other drivers happens on your own risk!

  The laptop is equipped with modules of DDR3 1066 MHz and the RAM speed is dependent on the FSB of the processor. If your CPU is throttling down, RAM modules will work also on low speed. On a high utilization of the processor (100%) the RAM modules must run with speed of 1066 MHz I think.

• Satellite Pro L20-184: Question about upgrading CPU

  Hello
  I bought a Satellite Pro l20 184
  I can replace the Pentium M 735 2 MB of L2 cache processor
  FSB 400 1.7 GHz?

  concerning

  Hello Constantin

  The answer is that no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

• Question about drivers under XP on Satellite A210-127

  Hey everybody! I have Toshiba Satellite a210-127 and I want to install widows XP. Can I install drivers for Windows Vista on Windows XP because there are not any drivers for XP? Please help me.

  And can I use Vista and XP at the same time and how?
  Thank you

  Hello

  First, you can't use the drivers Vista XP because Vista is a completely different platform that XP, so XP is in need of its own pilots.

  Dualboot regarding:

  Yes it s possible, but if you aren´t a kind of user experienced, you let your hands of this topic, since it s, a little complicated to install things together.

• Question about drivers Vista for Satellite A100-906

  Hello
  I have a satellite A906 and I installed all the vista drivers from the 'step by step upgrade dvd-rom' - I want to ask if I should reinstall or upgrade a driver (or BIOS) of the webstite of toshiba in the Download Center.
  Thank you

  If the driver update is a solution to some problems (which you probably do) then try to update.

  Note: If you want to update BIOS please check if the BIOS is designed for you notebook series. Bad BIOS and bad BIOS update procedure can and does not damage the jury!

• Question about drivers ATI for Satellite A100-683

  Hello

  I hear the new ATI drivers are finally out with good support of OpenGL for Vista. But again, I can only find the NVIDIA drivers on my laptops driver page. The thing was where before ATI offered to consumers that they stopped now with her again and point of Toshiba. Toshiba does not put them online and or not ATI.

  Any ideas how I can also enjoy new 7.4 or at least those with OpenGL drivers good support so I can finally use this book where I bought it for (graphic work for my studies, we use a lot of OpenGL).

  I just hope that Toshiba allows ATI to include their laptops in the reference ATI Mobility drivers.

  EDIT:
  Well, I asked ATI about this and they say I have should you mail, msg, pressure, etc to suport my material, or at least that it is supported by Catalyst Mobility. Which means that you can get at the moment their reference drivers. Which I think would be fair, because for now I can get the drivers for Nvidia this mobile version.

  Yes, you are right, that for Vista ATI display drivers are not placed on the page of the Toshiba driver.
  S let hope Toshiba guys will publish these drivers in the near future

  UPDATE:

  Everything is available on the page :D

• Just a quick question about drivers for Satellite P500 laptop

  Hi, I recently bought a new laptop:

  System model: TOSHIBA Satellite P500 PSPGSU-04P00WB

  Processor: 2.40 gigahertz Intel Core i5 520 M processor

  Video: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M

  CD-ROM: MAST * ONE BD - CMB UJ141AS

  HARD drive: Hitachi HTS725050A9A360 [hard drive] (500,11 GB)

  I tried to download the drivers on the support site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/.
  but there is no model number the same as mine, I found one that has the same
  parts (CPU, video card, etc.). It was ' Satellite P500-BT2N20. I can just download
  and use these drviers, right?

  If you have a model of European cell phone why look you it up on US Toshiba support page?

• Satellite P500-12F - Question about installing the drivers

  Have recently bought a new P500 Satellite 12F and I am very happy with it. This PC came only came on the market on 29 Oct. I decided this pilot site updates, bios, etc. and was surprised to find a few tens of individuals in the list.

  When I rang Toshiba support he told me don't bother to install as there may be a danger and if if its ok market don't bother!

  I would like a second opinion please.

  Satellite P500 is newer model comes with the latest drivers, tools and utilities for Toshiba laptop.
  It turns out that the Toshiba doesn't offer updates every month and, in my opinion, you don't need any update to date.

  I guess that your series of satellites well and without some serious software problems. So, touch of an operating system and be happy with your new toy.
