• Satellite L30-134 - question about upgrade CPU and video performance

  Hi have updated my satellite l30 - 134 with a bus t2450 dual core @2 ghz 533 Mhz = cpu is runing swell-marks look nice... BUT - my video performance droped a lot - grafics 2d - to top but 3d grafics are very poor why? driver problem?

  can anyone help? see that are some similar configs on this site... then maybe you can help me
  I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)

  > I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)
  Forget that don t recommend install Win XP 64-bit.
  Why? Because the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as Win 32 bit or Vista/Win 7 64 bit and you won't find many drivers for Win XP 64 bit.
  Stay with XP 32 bit or you can change to Win 7 64 bit.

  Regarding the graphical issue;
  Have you noticed that also using the old CPU (Intel Celeron M Processor 410)?
  If this were not the case, then I guess this could be a problem between the CPU and BIOS.
  Otherwise I would recommend upgrading the graphics card driver.

• Re: Satellite L30 - 134 new HDD

  Any SATA2 HARD drive would work with the Satellite L30-134?

  Initially, it has a 60GB HDD inside Toshiba MK6034GSX

  Thank you

  Hello

  Theoretically, every SATA2 HARD disk should work. This interface is compatible downgrade to the old interface SATA1 and so I see no reason why it should not work.

  But SATA2 interface will not bring a performance gain. Hard drives 2.5 normal Don t have such a level of high transfer.

• Satellite A20-S103: after HDD upgrade light noise speakers crackle

  Hello

  After putting on a new hitachi 160g HDD, I have lived a "cracking" by the speakers sound.

  I thought it was something wrong with the hard drive, so I went back to the store and changed it to a seagate, but the noise is still there.

  Hajlu

  Hello

  When I see this crackling noise?
  It does not appear if you listen to mp3 files stored on the HARD drive or if you are using an audio CD?

  160 GB HARD drive is a really imposing size and as far as I know not every size of HARD drive can be used in the notebook.

  AFAIK the A20 Sat were shipped with a 40 GB HARD drive.
  I don't know if the large size of HARD drive has a bad influence on the sound quality, but it would be very interesting to know if this crackling noise would appear if you use a smaller size of HDD like 60 or 80 GB of m.

  By the way; After replacing HARD drive, you have installed the operating system and drivers. Did you use the right audio driver?

• Satellite 3000-214: after CPU upgrade no screen and no HARD disk activity

  Hey all,.
  I have a 3000-214 Satellite that comes originally with a PIII-M 933 Mhz. (SL5CG)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5cg.jpg

  I ordered on eBay a second hand replacement (1133 Mhz) CPU SL5CK. (same number of pins, the same processor family: RH80530)
  When I go in, the laptop starts, but there is nothing on the screen and no HARD disk activity.

  So I asked the seller if he had tested the CPU, it sent, he said no and sent me 2 CPUs of replacement, another SL5CG and a SL64Z (which does not appear on the Intel site for some strange reason, but which is of the same characteristics as the SL5CG..)
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl5ck.jpg
  http://videoff7.free.fr/sl64z.jpg

  The two processors give the same result with nothing on the screen and no activity of the HARD drive either.
  I checked my BIOS, it is the latest version: 2.30.
  Some laptops in the series 3000 Satellite (e.g. 3000-601), are delivered with a 1133 Mhz CPU (SL5CK) and also share the same bios exactly like my 3000-214. (upgrades to the bios on Toshiba website for my 214 & 601 are the same exact links and MD5 are equal). Also the 3000-601 & 3000-214 share the same chipset: Intel 830MP.
  But for some reason, it does not.

  EC which could I missed?

  It is always possible that all 3 processors that I was sent by the seller are dead, but it would be strange at this point, I think.
  So my question is, anyone have any idea what I might try to work or have experience with the upgrade a Satellite 3000 CPU?

  My warranty is looooong Sub anyway, so if a Toshiba employee could check in the basis of how fast max CPU can be used on the Sat 3000-214, I would be very grateful.

  Thanks a bunch for any info.
  Kind regards

  Hello

  I studied a bit in the web and it seems that the Satellite 3000 has been bundled with Intel Mobile PIII 800, 850, 900, 1000 MhZ CPU

  I think that this will not work because of the speed of the CPU.
  In addition, I found this Toshiba document:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ5300W5000XR01.htm

  It is said that it is not possible to replace the processor in a laptop Tosh because processors are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP tape carrier package.

• For the Archives: The upgrade of the Satellite L30-134

  I'm one of those old cell phones off a friend who had retired as being obsolete.

  However with a little time and money, it is possible to upgrade to a very usable machine.

  Not a power by any stretch but perfectly adequate for browsing the internet and watching videos (about 720 p watchable) standard definition etc.

  So as the search of these forums for more information for this project, I found a lot of conflicting advice, and some of my questions were not answered at all. I hope by documenting my experiences here I can help someone in the same position in the future.

  * Model *.

  This machine is the Toshiba Satellite L30-134, part number: PSL33E-00E013G3. It's probably very similar, but not necessarily the same as the other models L30. No invert them.

  * Original configuration *.

  Processor - Intel Celeron m 410 (Cache of 1 MB, 1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, Socket M). It is a simple version of the Core Duo (Yonah core) processor core. It shares nothing in common and is not swapable with the previous generation Pentium M or processors Celeron Mr. He is also incompatible with the next generation of Core 2 Duo/Solo and Pentium and Celeron processors derived from these.

  Memory - A single 512MB SODIMM PC2 - 4200 (DDR2-533 MHz). This differs from the previous generation of DDR and the next generation of DDR3. The controller memory only supports single channel mode. There is no loss that the FSB of the processor is not fast enough to take advantage of the dual channel anyway.

  * BIOS *.

  My laptop came with very old version 1.3. Toshiba provides the latest version (3.10) for download. This is reported to be buggy and mess with the profiles of fan so I decided to leave it alone. I can confirm that my updates work without updating the BIOS.

  * Updates *.

  Processor - I swapped the Celeron for a Core Duo T2350 (1.87 GHz). Everything I read that all the Yonah core Core Duo/solo, Pentium and Celeron with a FSB of 533 are compatible. The FSB 667 models are not.

  The Core Duo T2450 at 2 GHz is the highest performing compatible processor but double the price on eBay. I paid just £12 (used) for the T2350 so there is really no reason to go down now, all of these parts are obsolete.

  RAM - there are 2 slots on this machine. Toshiba State a maximum of 2 GB, 1 GB in each slot. Unfortunately, the memory controller is very picky and survey of the weird errors, unless you get just the right ones.

  There is not enough information to understand it so for me it was a process of trial and error. Fortunately, I found an online retailer that guaranteed compatibility in 100% and returned by mail for free.

  The second pair of Poles worked well.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Upgrade memory for Satellite L30-134

  I have a Satellite L30-134, which seems to work pretty slowly - I think that due to the large amount of photos and music from itunes.

  I wonder which is the best way to solve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change memory well) or get an external hard drive?
  And if I change the memory I'll lose what is already saved on the laptop?

  I agree with Ganz most HARD drive will not improve performance but increase the disk space available HARD, it would be you can store more music and picture on HARD drive ;) files

  Upgrade memory also would not provide a performance gain of course performance could be a little better because most of the things would be handled directly in memory and not in time on the HARD drive, but generally it s not really noticeable.

  In any case if you want to improve memory, check this:

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=25737&ft=m&St=3

  You must use DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM

• Re: Can I upgrade RAM on Satellite L30-134?

  Hello!

  My laptop is Satellite L30-134 (PSL33E-00E00WRU).

  I want to use RAM DDR2 800 Mhz 2 x 1 Gb in there. Is this possible?

  On the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz so I advise you to use compatible RAM modules.
  I don't know why you want to use these Rams from 800 MHz. For more performance or what?

• 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 L30-134 will not accept 2 GB of RAM

  I looked at my laptop and it takes a maximum of 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, I tried two different pairs of sticks of 1 GB and the two blue screen that loads the OS.

  When the sticks do not go it simply ignores the second run, but I can't seem to accept 2 GB.

  BTW I have upgraded to a core duo processor, don't give me no problem.

  Known fixes for this problem?

  Hello

  Your laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM. That s is definitely possible!
  You can use 2 modules of memory vivid x1024MB.

  If you would taka glance at this page, you will find information that you must use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.

  [Memory for Toshiba Satellite L30-134 | http://www.orcalogi.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=25737&ft=m&st=3]

  I presume that you always get a BSPD because the RAM modules are not fully consistent or simply malfunctioned.

• Toll-free indicated what power disconnected from the Satellite L30-134

  I don't know it this the appropriate category, because I'm not sure of the source of the problem.

  Okay, here it is:
  I have Toshiba Satellite L30-134.

  Normally, when I unplug the cable of the AC adapter, 2 things happen:
  1 ATP icon shows that the current generator is the battery, and it shows invoiced % and about working time remaining before the battery is empty.

  2. the power management becomes more energy saving settings, and implementation Hibernate just until the battery is completely down.

  Well... Last few days things have changed:

  Now, when I unplug the power cable, the system does not recognize this and she continues to display: ' course Power Source: AC Power ', for the remaining capacity of the displays: "S/o" and the system is not hibernate, because he does not feel the difference.
  I'm not sure that this has something in common, buy, I found that the UPS SERVICE has been stopped, I tried to start it manually, but there is ERROR 2481: the UPS service is not configured correctly.
  Need help, please :-)
  OS: Windows XP, automatic updates, I did not notice if this happen after installation or any other measure of speciffic, I did...

  This process is correct. After disconnecting the AC adapter the laptop switches to the battery power and uses the Toshiba power saver mode the power created for the use of the battery.

  Well the ups (uninterruptible power supply) service could be responsible for this problem!
  If you are not able to start it manually, then it might be a problem with OS software.
  I studied a bit and found this article in the Microsoft Knowledge base about this problem.

• Satellite L30-134: how to make a DVD of recovery on mine?

  I want to make a new DVD of recovery like the one I had with my laptop series Satellite L30-134.

  You must purchase 3rd party applications to create the own recovery image. For example I did with Norton Ghost 2003.

• What you can say about Satellite L30-134

  I have to buy laptop for office work? and I choose Satellite L30-134? What do you think? It's my first time when I buy the laptop... I have only 700 maybe $ advise you something else? and second question why portable seria L30 have only 1 year warranty, and what cost per the warranty extension?
  My English in not very good, sorry. Thank you for your response.

  Hello

  The L30-134 is a portable simple to office applications and internet usage.
  But it s not suitable for hardcore gamer because of the hardware specifications. As far as I know that the laptop provides Intel-Celeron-M (Yonah) 410 1.5 GHz processor and ATI RADEON Xpress 200M 32 to 256 MB shared video memory graphics card.

  The standard warranty is 1 year and if you sign up on the page of Toshiba notebook you will get a 2-year extension

• How to reset CMOS/BIOS Satellite L30-134?

  Portable satellite L30-134

  Did a stupid thing earlier and started putting my supervisor for the BIOS password when my 8 month old was sitting on the couch next to me... Well, the next thing I know his hands where all over the keyboard, then press the ENTER key was pushed, aaaahhhhh! The password is now set and I ain't got a clue what it is.

  So my question: How to reset the CMOS/BIOS to lose the password or is there another way around him?

  Would like to thank all appreciated help/remedies.

  TIA

  Graham

  It is not possible.
  The entire passwords must be removed before you start with the update of the BIOS.
  Sorry, but if you don t know the password you cannot delete it and the BIOS update procedure will not work!

  ASP in your country is a last chance for the removal of the password. Guys are able to remove the password. It shouldn't be very expensive.
