• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-101

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) successfully, but I find it incredibly difficult to get information on the replacement of the processor.

  The laptop has the latest version of the BIOS on it (3.10 - WIN - 02/19/08), but trying to find information on whats inside I'm hitting brick walls. First of all the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/< doesn't="" have="" my="" laptop="" on="" it,="">
  Product type: notebook
  Family: Satellite
  Product series: Satellite L series
  Model:? unknown
  Short model No.:? unknown

  I hope I could paste in but with the ATI chipset Intel Duo, I'm sure that it won't work but once again without knowing what in the BIOS, compatible... I got lost. Single processor I can find who can work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo T1350 of processor which begins at 1.86 GHz, not a huge difference, and I don't know that it cannot be the only option of replacement.

  Could someone and please help me to get the hands on info from BIOS and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 deporting the 1.46 GHz is not good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi-task. His way of late too even after a good tune up, ram, HD 7200 rpm upgrade. I need an upgrade of the processor, but as mentioned it is incredibly difficult to get the information which would be compatible.

  Sincerely,

  Gourcuff

  Hello

  In my opinion, your attempt to replace the CPU is false. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer performance and it is designed for everyday use. Best evidence was the price. It wasn't so expensive.

  Can you please tell us why do you have new CPU? Do you use special software?

  Return to the replacement of the CPU. As you probably know laptops have limited upgrade options and it is related to the RAM and disk HARD upgrade. It's definitely not for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially of the cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
  Because of this, you will not be able to find relevant info on replacement of the CPU.

  Check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

• Satellite L30-101 will not boot after memory expansion

  Hello

  We have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101 with 512 MB memory

  We also bought 2 X 1 GB-compatible modules to extend the memory to its max.

  When we installed the two new modules the laptop won't boot.

  We tried to install one at the time and both work individually. I also tried 1 X 512 MB
  and 1 X 1 GB, which also worked.

  It seems that we are not the only one with this problem!

  1.5 works much better on le.5 but it doesn't seem to be a shame to have the autres.5 but its unusable!

  I think that you have incompatible modules for mode dual channel.
  What RAM do you have?

  A module is maybe corrupted and so he doesn t run in mode dual channel.

  You can check the module with a program like Memtest86: [www.memtest86.org]

• No games no install on Satellite L30 - 101

  Hey,.

  I have a laptop Satellite L30-101, which happened with Vista.
  When I was with Vista I had none of these problems, but since I went down to XP install no games.
  The games can go on the menu when you click on install but nothing after that, it doesn't do anything.
  The screen will stay as it is and what can I do but no installer runs.

  I am sure I have drivers properly installed but not sure that more.

  No one knows the correct driver should I use, and if this is really the problem?

  Thank you.

  Satellite L30-101 has not been delivered with the Vista operating system.
  You have received a Toshiba with Win XP Recovery disk and I wonder why you n t use this disk.
  All drivers XP, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the recovery disk.

  I recommend that you use this disk and then try to reinstall some games

• Problems of memory on the Satellite L30-101

  I have a toshiba satellite l30-101 laptop and wanted to upgrade the RAM, so I bought 2 x 1 GB sticks to put in it.
  Now, I could not find all those at 533 mhz so I bought 2 667 mhz after a talk to a technical guy who said if I had 2 the same speed it will work very well.

  Only this isn't at all that I can put a stick and it works very well with the 533 mhz.
  The one I have in if I try to put the two sticks in it comes up with errors of memory and I get the bsod that restarts my computer and did not get my games or other programs.
  Is anyway to make sure I can have both new sticks in that I really need RAM and do not want to buy different ones.
  I mean if I can get another one we should probably work well work?

  Please help im crazy trying to solve this shit

  Hello

  I think that the speed of the memory has nothing to do with the BSOD!
  In my opinion the BSOD appears due to the failure of memory!

  In addition the L30-101 supports only the FSB 533 Mhz. In this case you will not be able to run the 667 Mhz modules of memory at full speed.
  The modules will run at 533 Mhz only!

  So in my opinion, you must replace the defective module with one that works very well!

  Best regards

• Can satellite L30-101 - I change Vista to XP

  Hello

  I've been looking by changing from Vista to XP on a Toshiba Satellite L30 - 101.

  I wonder if this is possible, because I do not know abut driver problems. I found this site:

  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  Which has a list of drivers, including those of Windows xp to the L30. Before I try to make the change, I wanted to just make sure that it is possible and any issues i should know about.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As I m not wrong not the Satellite L30-101 belongs to the series of PSL33E.
  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found this series of laptop and I also found the XP drivers.

  Therefore, you can change the Win XP and you will also be able to reinstall Win XP drivers!

  Good news. ;)

• After downgrading from Vista Satellite L30-101 does not read DVD

  Hey,.

  Like many people, I didn't like Vista and so returned to the use of Windows XP.

  In doing so, I lost a lot of things like the ability to watch DVDs and sound, most of these problems fixed so easily by downloading the drivers from this site.

  However, even after the DVD driver download I can't read DVDs yet.
  When you try to play through Windows media player I get say error message that I did not have a MPEG-2 decoder, in the section web site help, it suggests where to get one, but you have to play for each other.
  After having one in the first place, I don't think I should buy a new one.

  If anyone has a solution it would be greatly appretiated if they could let me know.

  Thank you

  PS I have a Satellite L30-101

  I think you have a codec problem, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should install the latest version of Media Player and codec Xvid, DivX and AC3. These are free (google it!). Or you can try alternative software, such as WinDVD or PowerDVD, you can try the demo versions.

• Satellite L30-101: could not connect to Orange Livebox via WI - FI

  Hi all

  Bought my first laptop today, a Satellite L30-101 with Vista. I finally managed to connect to my livebox after filming of encryption and the Vista firewall. Now, I turned as well on I can not connect. I get a msg of error saying 'the settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements of the network. I tried to repair the i.p address and tried to change the security settings in the properties.

  Ideally, I would like to completely remove the existing profile then the Connection Wizard may start. This is probably very simple, but I am new to wifi and Vista and would be grateful if anyone could offer advice.

  Concerning
  Dave.

  Hi again,
  Following the previous, I have more the error msg. I changed the Livebox WPA security only and on the L30, I put the WPA-personal security type and TKIP encryption.

  > I was updating my BIOS on toshiba website and while he was installing the battery has been disconnected and when I turned on my computer laptop back I got was a black screen, the fans would start and thecd rom would turn

  I m afraid the BIOS update has no procedure and therefore the ROM chip has not updated as it should. This is the reason why the laptop can not start correctly.

  I think that it of necessary to reflash the ROM BIOS module Once again, but this can be done only using a procedure of BIOS of crisis.
  As far as I know this can be done only through ASP because there is no traditional BIOS version by download.

• Satellite L30 and 2x1GB PC2 - 5300 DDR2 667 compatibility

  I've seen a few posts here on the incompatibility of the L30 and have 2x1GB PC2 - 5300 DDR2 667 modules installed. Apart from the demotion to 2x1GB PC2-4200 modules, nobody put in point a reason why this problem occurs.

  My Satellite L30-00100E comes preinstalled with 2x256MB DDR2 533 PC2-4200. My current BIOS is v2.10 latest (available on the website).

  I have a couple of spare 1 GB 667 modules of work (which has been tested as working). I put them in my L30 and tried a few tests using MemTest86. Essentially, these tests pass:

  1x1GB (any module in any accommodation)
  1x1GB + 1x256MB (any module in any accommodation)

  What does work is 2 x 1 GB! It will fail on the random test (test #7), and it always fails on what appears to be a random address memory under the address range of 1024 MB. I have yet to see a mistake over 1024 MB and this happens no matter what order the modules are installed in the slots. What I see is something like this:

  Address: 942.6 (this changes - but still less than 1 024 MB)
  Writing: 0x2cd48206 (this change)
  Read: 0x2cd48286 (this change - but the 2nd to the last value was released by 0x80)
  Diff: 0 x 00000080 (it's always the same)

  The Diff value is always the same and makes me think that it is a little be overthrown so that it should not be.

  Memory 667 MHz is now able to run at 533 MHz, the memory is good, and some combinations work 667, so I suspect that it is a BIOS problem. Maybe it's just get confused by the memory timings?

  What can I/we/Toshiba?

  BTW - I put t really want to buy 533 MHz RAM, especially now that 667 is cheaper. So, for now, I'm stuck at 1x1GB + 1x256MB RAM... ie a 667 with a 533 mix!

  Hello

  This is not the problem of BIOS!
  I also read several discussions on the problem of memory upgrade on L30 and all people have the same problem; the Crucial modules are not compatible or do not work!

  I have a L30 at home and I could upgrade the L30 with a 1 024 MB module. It was one of Kingston.

  As you say of the L30 is FSB 533 MHz it is therefore absurd to use the 667 MHz module. If the 667 Mhz modules are better markets than 533 Mhz modules, then I suppose that the quality of these modules is not the best.

  In general, the quality and performance of the modules without name is bad and I do not recommend the use of these modules for different reasons.

  Use the recommended Toshiba modules and good luck!

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your L30 has ATI RC410MD graphics card. I m not 100% sure, but I assume that it is the shared memory card which means that certain amount of RAM will be used for graphics operations. Due to this RAM more low value appears in cell s system information.

• Satellite L30-101: System indicates the value of memory bad

  Hello

  I hope someone can help. Just bought the L30-101 with Vista Home Basic and 512ram (ddr2 pc2 4200). The specs say it can take up to 2 gig with a max of 1 gig per slot.

  Site of Crucial ram and there memory Advisor tool used for a stick of compatible 1 gig to another location of the source and bought a stick of 1 GB (ddr2 pc2 4200). It was put in the laptop, but instead to show 1.5 GB of ram it showed only a little more than 900 MB - so he was recognizing the new stick and using a small part for shared graphics etc. but was totally ignoring the original 512 stick.

  I tried move but opposing slots always get the same result. Also tried the two sticks separately and work well on their own, but when the two haven't inserted the 1 gig stick seems to be recognized. Is this a compatibility issue?

  Ive tried to contact crucial themselves, but still have had no response, so thought I would try and choose someones brains here.

  Any ideas anyone?
  See you soon
  Nick

  This is a compatibility issue, I think you should get a new memory.

  Sometimes it's a problem if you use different modules (size, brand, speed).
  Usually, these problems are presented if you have a noname memory.

  You must purchase another module of 1 GB instead of this the 512ram or replace the 1 GB with a new key.

  I've heard a user has how Kingmax and Samsung 512 MB 1 GB of ram in the L30 and everything is going well, he has no problem with him.
  I have two Samsung 512 MB modules and have no problem.

• 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.

  Kind regards

• Connectivity issues with Satellite L30-101 wireless

  I live in a room where the wireless NET is low.

  The landlord lives just next door and it has wireless internet access, I pay for it as well.

  I have a toshiba satellite laptop L30-101. my room is on the first floor, if I get out of my room in the hallway, the net improves.
  If I go down this is the best.
  I tried to speak with the owner to put the modem near the window or connect an antenna in the modem, but there is no change.
  Here's my question: How can I get a net better from my room?
  What can I buy for my computer? I have a type II card slot. What type of antenna, cables or cards can I buy?

  Hey Bela

  Why don't you talk with your local dealer where you live. They can give you enough useful information how to manage this problem. If you wish, you can test connectivity with the latest PCMCIA WLAN cards. If there is no success you can send it back after a few days.
