• Satellite L670-134 - CPU upgrade question

  Hello

  I would like to upgrade my old laptop for 5 years, due to the memory... I have now changed and a hard drive SSD added (500 GB) and a new battery but I want more: processor... I read on the Internet that it is but we need to its manufacturer which processors are asking for the appropriate device and I want to do with it what better processor I could use in my good old laptop purely build the perfect works with all components.

  Of more the graphics chip (if possible), but...

  Checking the bios - mods.com for upgrade of processor in the cpu support section updates forum

  and place a request here they will ask you to fill out some information with the CPU - Z program then they can determine what the processor upgrade is best for your laptop.

• Satellite L30-134: CPU Upgrade

  Hello!

  I want to replace the CPU in this notebook. I'm confused because I can't find any information that UC is supported by the BIOS.
  I tried: T5500 (SL9U4), T5600 (SL9SG), T7200 (SL9SL), (SLA3P), T2600 (SL8VN), T2400 T7300 (SL8VQ). After you have installed one of these processors, system unbootable.
  Startup failure with Core 2 Duo is not surprised. Merom has a different pinout than Yonah. :)
  Why Jonas has not started up?
  Jonah Core Duo has the same pinout, the power required as Celeron Yonahs.
  BIOS has some "CPU lock" to restrict the replacement of the CPU by user?
  Does anyone know why Jonah Core Duo can not work?

  Hello

  the problem is that any CPU you install that does not appear in your ad, it won´t work. The machine you own has an ATI RC410 chipset that can handle the following CPU´s:

  Pentium M
  Celeron M (dothan)

  That means that this chipset can handle that CPU´s with the core of dothan and earlier versions (P4, P4 Xtreme, etc..)

  And my personal opinion regarding an exchange of CPU in a notebook:

  If you have the proper tools to update the BIOS/DMI/microprocessor-code on the computer (where the tools are not available for the techies Tosh) then you must know what maximum TDP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_Design_Power) cooling system machines can handle.
  And it is also information that is available for the techies Tosh.

  Believe me, I tried several times to update some of my mobile machines and whenever it was linked to many problems, so I recommend all of my own experience to upgrade the processor.

  Welcome and nice week

• Re: Satellite A100-803 - CPU Upgrade question

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-803 at the moment. There is an Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 inside and it is a bit slow. Also, it does not support VT - x extensions.

  My idea is to build a simple hobby-server which should run Gentoo with Xen on it. I can buy an Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, but there are two things I'd like to know.

  1 the bios does support the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?

  > 1. The bios supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600?
  It is not known to me, but you should check if the chipset supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600. If the chipset does not support this CPU you can not use this CPU in your A100. But if the chipset would support the new CPU then you ve good chances to use this component.

  > 2. If she supports the Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, is it possible to use VT - x extensions?
  Hmm, that's a good question; as far as I know the BIOS must support the feature VT - x to use it of course the CPU must support this too so I think that VT - x should be available if the update for Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 would be successful

• Satellite L505-138 - CPU upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-138

  Parts no: psls9e-00u00wg3
  Series: No.: 1a511094k

  The processor I have now is the i3 330

  I want to spend to i7
  Is this possible and can you link me where to buy the right one which suitable to my laptop

  > Is it possible?
  Perhaps, in the case of the new processor would be supported by the BIOS and chipset, you ve got a good chance to upgrade the processor.
  But Toshiba but also other laptop manufacturers don t support these updates and so everything you do is at your own risk!

  First I would recommend you to get information about your chipset. Intel ARK page you might check what processors would be supported by the chipset.
  Fact is that this series of mobile were equipped with the Intel Dual Core CPU Intel Arrandale CPU family. In case you really want to try a new processor, I suggest you to choose one of this family.

  But beware: even if chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS can be one of the parties causing disorders. Unfortunately I haven't found any information which processors can be taken in charge by the BIOS

• Satellite L40 - 15G - CPU upgrade question

  Hello!

  I want to change the processor in my laptop with an intel t2310 (1.46 Ghz/1 MB cache) and I tried with a t7200 intel but is not worked.
  Can someone tell me what processors installed in the laptop.

  Thank you
  Hugo

  Hello

  You can only use the CPU that is supported by the chipset and BIOS.
  As far as I know the computer Satellite L40/EQUIUM L40/Satellite Pro L40/Satellite L45 is equipped with a processor Intel Pentium Duo or Intel Celeron M Processor.

  These processors were built in:

  Pentium processor (533 MHz) Duo clocked at 1.6 GHz (T2060) 1.73 GHz (T2080) / 1.86 GHz (T2090) / 1.86 GHz (T2130)

  and

  Celeron processor (533 MHz) 1.73GHz GHz 1.86 M (430)

  I think you can use these processors.

  How do I know what RAM to buy for this laptop?

  I have now: ddr2 533 mhz PC 4300, but what producer? Kingmax? How do I know what producer is compatible?

  Hello

  I think you should use the Toshiba recommended of the memory modules.
  As far as I know, this module can be used:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  I also checked another site and according to this site

• 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?

  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.

• 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!

• Satellite L30-134 - after HDD upgrade PC freezes and won't start

  Hello
  I upgraded my Satellite L30-134 of the standard 60 GB HDD for a new 120 GB. After that, I have the following problem:

  (1) after installing XP form to the recovery House DVDs works fine but after that 2-3 weeks of normal use it instantly freeze pc and after hard reboot the OP start up can do anything but to format the HARD drive. After that format cannot install original XP and Vista, the progress bar show me that the installation is complete but after reboot, nothing happens. This problem persists long wery. After 3-4 clean up one after another the pc starts and runs very well about 3 weeks. What is the problem? Any idea?

  (2) when I first install Vista or Linux PC is runing fine, but not in normal parameters. Always freeze but after hard reset works fine for about 2-3 days. When I install XP first that the PC is useles after hard reboot the only thing I can do is to format the HARD drive and do a clean install.

  PS: The HARD disk is produced Original Toshiba.

  Hello

  This strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like that, these problems are caused from the new HARD drive that may be defective.

  I think you should test the HDD using Hitachi Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive test.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  Good luck and give us feedback, what happened! :)

• 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:

• 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?

• 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.

• 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
