Satellite L30-134 PSL33 - Question about the version of the BIOS and the type of DVD writer

Hello!

I bought a Toshiba L30-134 PSL33 the week last in Hungary. I recorded to Toshiba international warranty, so I saw that my cell was made the 19.10.2006.
My friend bought the same laptop (Toshiba L30-134 PSL33) too (also in Hungary), two weeks ago. His machine was made on 19.12.2006.
It's already funny, but that's not all.
My laptop has a series number starts with X, and the machine of my friends has this starting with Z. That's ok.
But here it is...
I have a BIOS version of 1.3 and my friend has a BIOS version of 1.9! 0.6 gap within two months? Why?
The other thing. I have a DVD burner called Mat * a UJ - 841 S and my friend has a LG 4082. Once again: why?
If you are looking for Toshiba BIOS update you don't find anything! It is very interesting. There must be some updates to the BIOS, because I read here to another topis that someone has a BIOS version of 1.4. But there are 1.9 too.
Each book was brand new when we bought.
Any idea?
Let me know when you bought your laptop, what BIOS version it has, and what kind of DVD player there.
I'm wainting for the answers, because I'm really interested!

Thank you
Marcell

Hey Arnaud!

I m from Hungary, too, but I think I should speak English on this forum :) So here is my notebook, I ve bought on 24.12.06. :

Type: L30 - 134 PSL33E
The machine was made on: 19.12.06
Series: starts with Z
DVD player: LG
BIOS version: 1.9

You should t be nervous on the drive, the carpet * a Panasonic, and I think that s as good as LG. Why are they different? I put t know, maybe Toshiba was such at the time. In the specifications I didn't seen anything on the drive type, so I think that s not relevant. I t has not found another version of BIOS for this model, so I t understand too why and what are the differences between the versions. But if you n t have a problem with your machine, you do not need to change the BIOS. This isn't a PC, if you haven t many options to change in the BIOS.
If you want to discuss on the laptop on the Hungarian language, I recommend the Toshiba section on www.prohardver.hu.

Best regards
Abel

  • Satellite L30: A few questions about the change from Vista to Win XP

    My satellite L30 has Vista Home Basic preinstalled, but I decided that Vista is still a little slow & buggy and would like to change to WinXP Pro. I have 2 questions-

    1. a change to XP will extend the battery performance? (currently 1 h with no wifi I think it's pretty poor)

    2. I intend to reformat the hard drive for all the hidden partitions will be lost. If I decide to go back to Vista, at a later date I will be able to reinstall using the "upgrade" dvd that came with my computer? I think I'm wrong in saying that this dvd contains a full version of Vista, but I wonder if my serial number still working?

    Thank you

    Hello

    If you bought the L30 with Vista operating system preinstalled, then I presume that you have received also the Toshiba Vista recovery CD.
    The Vista on the recovery CD is already enabled and you don't need to enter keys t.

    Regarding your battery question: well as you know the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. Performance heavy on the laptop running decreases the life of the battery. It is a fact.

    But you assume the Vista needs of more resources for laptop as the XP and the Vista operating system wastes more energy than other operating systems.
    I think if you install XP on the laptop, you should be able to work with the battery a little longer as with Vista.

  • Satellite A20-S103D: two questions about the recovery process

    Hello

    I bought the machine above my nephew - is no longer necessary.
    It runs Windows XP Home Edition and is not a Windows CD or disc of recovery of any kind.

    I have a Windows decal on the underside with the product key, but when I use "Belarc Advisor" to examine the product keys for all my software loaded it gives a totally different operating system product key! This key contains the letters OEM in there.

    As the machine is supplied with a Toshiba power management software I guess it's an OEM Toshiba of the OS version I have.

    My questions are:
    1 / this does not mean that at some point in the past, this machine was another product of Windows XP on it? (two product keys)
    2 / I can, (and), I get the Windows XP CD or a recovery for the machine, like I need to recover or to reload Windows.

    Thanks in advance to all members of the forum that meet.

    > 1 / this does not mean that at some point in the past, this machine was another product of Windows XP on it? (two product keys)

    The key you found at the bottom of the device belongs to the OEM of Windows version that is part of the recovery diskette.
    The recovery disk is already enabled so that the key is not required in order to activate the Windows operating system.
    As far as I know, that the key does not work with other versions of windows

    > 2 / I can, (and), I get the Windows XP CD or a recovery for the machine, like I need to recover or to reload Windows.
    Since it is an old, I doubt you'd be able to order the recovery for this device disc
    If you want to install the Win operating system, then you must use a Windows CD clean valid keys and all drivers may be downloaded from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
    The drivers are placed in the archive because it oldie s in order to choose the archives in the type of product to download the form.

    Hello

    I can't give you details on the microphone of the satellite Pro S300 tension because I didn t find all the details about the tension of mic jack, but I guess that it s a voltage standard as on others, laptops different.

    As far as I know the external portable media microphone who need 1, 5V DC.

    That's all I can say about it.

  • Questions about the product recovery DVD?

    Hello

    After a boot failure sunk with Windows XP Home Edition on my Equium A60-181, I had no choice but to use the product recovery DVD. I noticed there is something called expert mode, I suppose that allows you to create a custom default value of the factory Setup. So I was wondering, is it possible to format the hard drive in FAT32 instead of NTFS, create a partition for Linux and continue to use the product recovery DVD? In case you are wondering I want FAT32, so I can safely read and write my XP with Linux partition as NTFS writing is still experimental at the moment.

    See you soon,.

    Hello

    Check out this link. You will find an info exactly how to recover with the Expert mode.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2513&TSTART=15

    However, if you want to create a new FAT32 partition or another standard (Linux), I propose to use the magic of Partitions. This is a very nice program and you have a lot of options (change the size of the partitions, etc.)

    Hi dariod

    You can't find any info on the idle temp for this processor and graphics card because the temperature level is always different.
    The laptop temperature depends on the temperature of the environment, the use of the laptop and power settings.

    In Win Vista, you can change some settings to be able to affect the temperature of the CPU and the cooling module feature:

    Here is a useful link to the FAQ:
    + How to manage Windows Vista power management features.

    In addition, you must update the BIOS if a new BIOS update is available.

    Hello guys,.

    I am owner of a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1cr and suddenly one morning, I can not charge my battery...

    I tried with another adapter that I bought for another laptop a few years ago and it worked perfectly...

    I have change the power supply cable before the adapter, that we... http://www.digitalkind.co.uk/INU_Products/INU_ProdDetailsL8.ASP?ref=57306972

    But now I have two important questions...

    1. since I tried, the power adapter works fine, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same features...

    2. is the replacement of the power supply covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my English...

    > 1. As I've tried, the power adapter works well, do you think that it can causes problems on my laptop or battery if I use it for a long time... I have to say that they had the same characteristics

    If the AC adapter doesn't supports exactly the same specifications as the original Toshiba AC adapter so I wouldn't recommend using it! This could damage the motherboard! So if you want to use it you must make sure that the ampere, Volt and Watt values are the same!

    > 2. The replacement of the power supply is covered by my warranty which continues to operate? or will I have to pay? I have two year warranty... and it is very important for me to know...

    The AC adapter belongs to the laptop and it s covered by the warranty also.
    So if you warranty is still valid, don t waste time and contact the ASP in your country!
    Explain what s bad guys and I m sure will be able to help. The adapter must be replaced if it s defective!

    In this case, I would not recommend using 3rd party adapters if you will get a new ASP.

    > What should I do with a hidden partition in Windows Vista that is used for the start?
    The hidden partition is needed for the repair of the system!
    If something goes wrong with the system, Vista would be able to repair the system using the files from the hidden partition.
    The Vista operating system creates this partition automatically during the installation of the OS!

    After you change the HARD drive, just start using the Toshiba and Vista recovery disk should create the partitions and must run the installer automatically

    Is it possible to add the Classification Types and/or change the colors for those who in 4.0.2?

    I looked in Preferences > diagram and there's only sub-menus for logic model and the relational model.

    I think that remember that some versions also had a Type of Classification submenu in which you might add custom so types that change the colors associated with them.

    It's been a while that I used the tool - maybe I'm not remembering correctly...

    Since they are design related, classification types are moved design properties dialog box (settings-> diagram) and Yes, you can add custom collation types.

  • Question about the Type of SQL equivalent Collection Oracle

    (1) I read documentation collections oracle, can I know why the 'STORE AS' clause is used only when creating the table, but not when the object creation?

    Table:

    CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(64);
    CREATE TABLE department (
      name     VARCHAR2(20),
      director VARCHAR2(20),
      office   VARCHAR2(20),
      courses  CourseList)
      NESTED TABLE courses STORE AS courses_tab;
    

    Object:

    CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10)  -- define type
    CREATE TYPE Student AS OBJECT ( -- create object
       id_num  INTEGER(4),
       name    VARCHAR2(25),
       address VARCHAR2(35),
       status CHAR(2),
       courses CourseList)  -- declare nested table as attribute
    

    (2) also can I know what is the difference between OBJECT & RECORD?

    My understanding is that the OBJECT is entity sql where you create and store data in this document, while the RECORDING is PLSQL entity where you group different types of data elements in one?, hope you can give me an example to better understand.

    Thank you.

    Fix. The column of the course are (similar to an array) collection type. This requires a "nested table" for this column store the list of the values in this column.

    This approach however is an exception to the rule - as it flies in the face of robust and sound design mathematically, relational.

    (2) also can I know what is the difference between OBJECT & RECORD?

    A record is similar to a struct in C/C++. A record contains one or more fields/variables. It's a basic structure for the creation of a 'container of variables' and by the way this container between code units, as oppose to pass individual variables. It is also the basis for the creation of intelligent data structures in structured programming. For example an IP socket structure is a unique smart container consisting of items/variables such as socket, protocol family and type, flags address and so on.

    It is a standard feature in most (if not all) of the structured programming languages - C / C++ and Pascal, Cobol and Visual Basic. PL/SQL is based on the Ada language - and like other members of language (including Pascal), PL/SQL uses the word registration reserve to set a record structure.

    Objects are created in Oracle using the "create or replace type... as object'clause. The correct term is an object oriented class. This differs from a record as a class has data and code. Unlike a record that counts only data.

    Given in a class are called properties. The code of a class is called methods. There are different types of member methods and methods such as the static class constructors, destructive methods.

    Oracle class object is defined using SQL. (Methods) code of this class is set using PL/SQL.

    The classes also supports features like inheritance. Allowing a child class extend the implementation of the parent class. This is not supported by a record structure, beyond a structure that contains another structure as a field attribute. Classes supports the substitution in a child class, the methods of the parent class. As records are composed only of data and not code, there is nothing like ito feature for structures Records.

  • Question about the type of database, we create.

    Dear gurus,

    We create an application where Back-end is the Oracle 10 g 2 database and UI is Java.

    Let me explain what we intend to do on the side of the DB. (Say that the name of our DB is NPS)

    1. we intend to have a single database, and it contains 2 diagrams. There is a scheme and any other scheme of Transaction.

    The schema of the transaction contains tables and these data tables is filled on a daily basis and this is achieved from a different database (Say NP).
    If the database transaction will get data from the NP. That is to say NP-> NPS (Transaction).

    Note: The data can be loaded into our tables in the schema of the Transaction once in the day.

    2. we need to show these data to users. This user interface is created using Java.
    Now, we got a lot of users (waiting 600) hitting the daily application, at any time in a day.

    So, we plan to go for Reporting scheme. For the schema of the transaction will be just be fetch data from the database.

    The Reporting schema contains a few warehouse tables that are there in the scheme of the transaction.

    Our notification dashboards should get the data from our data of Transaction so it has to be updated periodically since the schema of the Transaction for any new data that we get from the other database.

    Can someone explain to me what is the best way to do it.
    Is there a better approach than what I explained.

    Thank you
    Maddy.

    Based on what you have posted, I can make the following observations and recommendations.

    1. 600 users not there. Amazon.com has 300 000. 15 + years I had an Oracle 7.3.4 database with more than 10,000.
    2. nothing you wrote never justifies the second schema that contains duplicate data... there just need to SELECT on the schema of the first privileges.
    3. 10 gr 2 penetrates support mode in just a few months. Why build something today that will be obsolete this summer? Go to 11 GR 2.
    4. learn... materialized views they might have some value according to works of your load.
    5. Java is not a reporting tool. Why not get a writer true Crystal, Business Objects, Oracle BI Publisher, discoverer or Siebel Analytics report?

    > 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!

    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
