• Satellite L30 - 10W: Double OS Vista and XP

  Hello.

  I have the Satellite L30 - 10W with Windows Vista Home Basic. How to install another operating system Windows XP Home Edition?

  Hello Miriam

  I didn't try it until now, but it shouldn't be a problem. I don't know how is your laptop L30 preinstalled, but I imagine that the HARD drive is shared twice and contains two partitions (C and D). Am I wrong?

  Each Vista preinstalled Toshiba laptop also has a WinRE partition (1.5 GB for OS not visible). When you start installing WXP be careful and choose the right partition for the installation of operating system Windows XP Home edition.

  Start Microsoft WXP facilities procedure, follow the on-screen menu and chose the second partition (D) as a place of installation of Windows XP Home edition.

  Before you begin installation of WXP visit Toshiba download page to see if this model of laptop is WXP supported and if all necessary WXP drivers are available.

• Satellite L30 - frequent BSoD after upgrade of RAM.

  This problem is almost identical to [this post | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=144540𣒜], but given that the response was too general and did not help, I want to provide more details about my problem and hope for a better answer.

  My L35 (i.e. American L30) came with Vista Home Basic and only 512M of RAM. It was slow, but smooth otherwise. The problems started after I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB occasionally a BSoD will appear, and the computer restarts after a second or two.
  Most of the time, instances of BSoD are not taken at random; usually, it happens when you watch a film or multimedia and online during the wake her up after suspend.
  Also, it happens much more frequently if an external monitor is attached. He does, connect an external monitor and watch a movie will result in BSoD with 100% certainty. My laptop has shared video memory, maybe it's a question here.

  The problem prevailed after that I installed Windows 7.
  Memtest86 + showed no problems with my memory
  Memtest86 covers all aspects of the use of the RAM?

  Is it possible that some problems may be overlooked by memtest86?
  Are there other tests of memory, that I could use, specifically to test the shared video memory?

  Not every hardware problem can be detected software.
  You have tested the RAM with Memtest86 +? Try using Memtest86 (no +).

  In the worst case, you must replace the RAM. Ask the dealer for a new computer. I m sure they will help you.

• Low graphics performance after the setting of the default BIOS satellite L30 - 10W

  Hello!
  In a first time - im not English so my language is wrong.
  Half a year ago and windows vista showed 3.8 also efficient graphics card, I bought Toshiba L30 - 10W. Then, I played without any problems on windows xp (call of duty 2, flatout 2, fifa 07). But lately, I supported at the default bios and now I can not play on windows on this game because I have about 5 frames per second. I tried to reinstall modded, latest drivers, old drivers, windows drivers - nothing works.

  I installed vista rescue dvd I got with the computer and now the effective partition of the graphics card is 2.3! That means when I bought computer graphics card was overlock? I have phoenix bios, buy, that I do not see here all functions related to the graphics card.
  Help, please!

  Hello

  I ve got a L30 with Vista and checked the BIOS values.
  I must say that the value of the memory is not editable in the Phoenix BIOS!
  It s assigned automatically!

  In my opinion, you should check if it is possible to change some values in the ATI catalyst graphics.
  Otherwise, reinstall the OS using the Toshiba Recovery CD

• Satellite L30 - BSOD with 2 GB of RAM

  Hi all

  I have some problems, I can not explain on my * PSL33E L30 *. I bought 2 GB of RAM to put in it, but it makes Windows crashes (BSOD). I already tested memories, they all work alone. Of course they have all the right tip.
  Is there something to change in the BIOS or something?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  If you get a BSOD with 2 GB of RAM, it seems that the modules are not compatible to your laptop in dual channel mode.

  I m not a technician but I mean that's the only possible reason because you wrote that they all work opportunity so they are not defective.

  I put t know which modules you bought, but you should test the other modules. I have good experiences with the Kingston memory modules.

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - upgrade of CPU and RAM

  For all other owners L30, my L30 - 10 v has been improved by me to the following specification while I owned it:

  Intel Core Duo T2450 bus of 2 GHz 533 mhz cpu (faster processor you can use in the L30 psl33e)
  2 GB DDR2 667 mhz Ram (1 x 1 GB Kingston, 1 x 1 gb Kingmax) - with no problem and works fine at 667 mhz.

  Okay, so the laptop is now at its maximum, but will not need to upgrade to a new for a while :)

  Hello

  Very interesting, buddy! :)
  I think that it s useful for other owners L30

  With regard to upgrading the CPU. What CPU did you before and now you have overheating problems or everything is ok?

• Satellite L30 PSL33E shows only 896 MB instead of 1024 MB

  I bought a PSL33E with 512 MB of memory. I upgraded to 1024Mo by adding a second SAMSUNG 512 MB, exactly equal to the original. Instead of 1024 MB, it displays only 896 MB. What is the reason for this difference?

  Is something related to the video memory, 128 MB, or can I have a problem in the computer? I removed the memory and it shows 448MB, boths memories and in both slots.

  Hello

  You have a shared memory graphics card?

  The actions of graphics memory shared the part of main memory and, therefore, the main memory does not show the full 1024Mo.

  It seems that the difference of 128 MB (1024 MB - 896 MB = 128 MB) is used by the graphics card.
  It's nothing wrong and nothing wrong. So don t worry buddy. Everything looks ok ;)

  Greetings

• 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

• Card Flash (TCrdMain.exe) keeps crashing on Satellite L30

  (Running Vista Home Basic on a Satellite L30)

  The utility of Flash cards only really works if I use it shortly after the start of my laptop. Often, I want to change the brightness of the machine after I use the machine for an hour or two, but the utility ignores my attempts to move the cursor downwards on the brightness setting or the watch at lowest setting already (when it is in fact to the max).

  So far, the only solution I found is to restart the machine! I can't yet to restart programs instead - I can track him in the Manager of tasks and close, just enough... but then double click TCrdMain.exe does nothing and will not reopen the blooming thing.

  How can I restart the utility? And, there have been updates to make it a more stable?

  AFAIK, you can disable and enable this Toshiba flash Cards under programs-> Toshiba-> Utilities-> settings for Flash cards
  Check it maybe it helps.

  But usually the flash cards service can be enabled and disabled in computer management. Under Services choose the Flash map service and start it again!

• Satellite L30 - 10Y - Touchpad freezes when AC/DC adapter is connected

  * fat * HELP * bold *.

  Hello

  I have a similar suggestions and proposals of solution;
  First check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. If this is not the case, try to update.

  But to be honest, I doubt that this could be a BIOS problem. It sounds more like a problem with a hardware component.
  I remember that my friend had a similar problem.
  The Courvite of mouse and touchpad jumped on the screen and was not usable
  It's a keyboard question EPA has replaced the keyboard and the problem disappeared.

  But this does not mean that your keyboard is broken it is perhaps only an option

  Anyway, the ASP must check hardware components; for example, the new adapter must be tested too

• Re: Satellite L30 - 134 PSL33e shows 896 MB of RAM, but 1.5 GB are inserted

  Satellite L30 - 134 psl33e-00e013g3.
  I have 2 memory slots, in the first place there are 1 GB kvr, then I add to the second slot 512 MB Hynix
  All of the memory two modules are ddr-533 (little difference in hours between them is present)

  If I click on my windows computer properties shows me only 896?
  On the official form of toshiba. subject memory says I can go to 2 GB of ram.
  BIOS is the latest version!

  How can I add more ram in this model?
  Aida64 shows me in the slot1 = kingston 1 GB
  SLOT2 = 512 hynix
  but aida shows that the memory system 896.
  All modules in memory works great separately in all slots...

  Thank you

  Hello

  That says the BIOS?
  BIOS sees the 1.5 GB of RAM?

  As far as I know that the laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
  The ATI graphics chip also shared memory.
  This means that if you installed 2 GB of RAM, a main part of this memory would be shared by GPU.

  It would be interesting to know what value would be reported by system using a single module (1 GB or 512 MB)

  by the way: what memory is shown in DXDIAG?

• Satellite L30-105 does not recognize the 1 GB of additional RAM

  Hi there I hope someone can help me

  I have a Satellite L30-105 PSL33E, which came with 1 GB of ram installed (2 x 512 MB made by TeamViewer)
  and it's terribly slow with vista, not to mention programs.
  The toshiba website says max RAM is 2 GB, so I bought a Kingston 1 GB ram chip to increase the ram to 1.5 GB. I thought should try before moving to 2 GB

  However after installing memory vivid it's show still only 1 GB in windows and in the bios (894 + the rest for video). It has the latest available BIOS on the site 3.10, yet still does not recognize the chip.

  The chip is installed in the lower slot, including the original 512 at the top (closest to the keyboard)

  Are limited to only some of the Satellite of RAM?
  The old subjects indicate if kingston does not work try corsair.
  Other topics suggested to change slots
  Others suggest that it may have only two of the same ram chips in IE 2 x 512 or 2 x 1 GB, you may not have 1 of each

  Can anyone help? everyone knows about similar problems?

  I will not buy any more RAM to try different brands for the same issue to occur

  Hello

  The L30-105 is able to manage the 1024Mo modules in each location it should be able to update the RAM up to 2 GB.

  > Why the RAM 1 GB module cannot be recognized?
  Perhaps the two modules are not compatible with each other
  I would recommend using two identical modules of the same manufacturing
  I use Kingston modules, they are ok for me
