• Satellite L30 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I upgraded my BIOS Satellite L30 and now the laptop will not boot. When I turn on the fan starts and that's it. I think I have updated the book with the bad BIOS... The laptop is only 1 day old... Is it possible to reset the machine to the default BIOS.

  Help, please...

  Hi Scott,.

  Unfortunately there is no easy way for you to go to your BIOS to its previous level. You need to entrust your laptop to a Service approved partner who has the necessary equipment to Flash the BIOS to the previous level.

• Satellite L30-113 does not recognize the two modules DIMM RAM

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L30 113.
  It has 512 MB of RAM and therefore struggled to run Windows Vista, so I bought another 1 GB of RAM.
  It's DDR2 553 MHZ (PC4200.

  The problem I have is that the laptop does not recognize both DIMMs, i.e. the old 512 MB and the new 1 GB when they are in the whole PC. I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB. I tried the DIMMs around two ways but without success.

  Did I miss something?
  They should be the same size as in the bad old days?
  What is going on?

  Thank you

  Adam

  > I tried the two DIMM individually in both slots and there is no problem, but when I install both the system sees just 1 GB
  Seems that the two RAM modules are not completely compatible...
  I've read several times on these issues and to be honest it s are not uncommon

  I advise you to buy two identical RAM modules ad then to try again

  I'm afraid there is no other solution for your problem of m.

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello
  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Check this box!

• Satellite P100: Multiprocessor is disabled in the BIOS v4.20

  Hello

  I have just updated the bios to 4.20, after reboot, I went to the bios settings and saw that the multiprocessor (the option for the use of 2 CPUs) is disabled.

  After I enabled it, the computer is very slow, and I had problems with starting the computer.

  When the multiprocessor option is disabled, the computer works ok, but the Task Manager indicates that a single processor.

  I had to go down to the bios to version 4.00.
  I would like to know if there is another solution for this.

  Hello

  In front of me, I have Satellite P100-191. I did the BIOS update to version 4.20, and in my case, Multiprosessor is undoubtedly permissible. In this case, the entry in the Device Manager shows 2 processors.

  I disabled this option and the laptop runs slowly than before and in the device manager what a processor is listed.

  I don't really know what is wrong in your case, but I can confirm that the Satellite P100-191 friends, everything works well.

• 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

• Satellite L30 - 10Y: error checking after the 2 GB of RAM

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30 - 10Y ^ months ago I walking the RAM 1.5 GB by adding a card of 1 GB of RAM in the 512 MB card provided it worked well.
  I also have walking my son Hi-Grade lapto with exactly the same specifications of RAM that worked well also. So I decided to grade until my L30 10Y with another card of the same specification to bring it up to 2 GB as specified by TOSHIBA.

  I booted the computer to find Hay presto after the message following the start screen appears * "_the file is possibly corrupted.
  The file header checksum does not match the calculated checksum_ "* the computer then froze and I turned it off."

  Controls, I did tried two cards into the two slots without change, 1 card in both slots (an empty) works very well. Other card in the two sons of slots (works Fine) the two card slots in my computer (works very well) all three cards and 512 MB card in the configuration of the slots and cards (works fine). The three cards 1 GB in all configerations cards and slots to the error message and other times 1 long beep and 2 short.
  Yes, the cards have been installed correctly. Impossible to change something to do with the BIOS, even though it may be accssed. Cannot run dvd player although I can select.

  I went back to 1.5 GB and reinstalled all OS the drive recovery Toshiba try all over again the same results. Running windows Vista Edition family Basic, Bios is the last download. RAM is compatible. Cheep Hi-Grade son accepts that all RAM in all Configurations without sentence windows XP operating system.

  Can anyone think of anything either, I have not tried, or I just have to go and by a Hi-grade computer?

  Hello

  I read your announcement carefully, and it seems that you have checked that everything what is possible
  So in my opinion the two ram modules are not compatible set
  It's the only plausible explanation for this problem.

  AFAIK the L30 - 10Y needs DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules.

  Finally the short beeps are coming from the BIOS and it means that the error has been detected.

• Satellite L30-113 - no sound after the downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hello to everyone.
  I recently bought a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L30-113
  with vista preintalled.

  As many users around the vista of the world seemed very slow for me so I decided to go back to Windows XP Pro.
  The problem is that I can't hear any sound in my laptop.
  In fact I found some drivers for Realtek controller High definition audio
  but they have nothing did.

  I give the floor to toshiba in Greece and they told me that this laptop is designed only for windows vista!
  Can this be true?
  Help, please

  Hello

  In my eyes, you have misunderstood something. Of course, that the laptop can handle Windows XP and it should work correctly, but as you say the device was shipped with Vista and so the guys at Toshiba support don't provide any support for WinXP on this laptop.

  As far as I know page driver Toshiba also provide drivers for win XP. Therefore, visit European driver of Toshiba page and choose the good laptop-> PSL33 Sat L30-113

  You will find a driver 5.10.0.5273 version XP. This should work!

  Have a nice day ;)

• Satellite L30 does not start after the upgrade to 2 GB of memory

  I bought 2 GB Crucial memory for my L30. After removing the 512 MB module and adding two modules of 1 GB the L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB start ok ok, with the other boot only 1 GB.

  Either 1 GB modules and module of 512 MB with start ok. The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. Crucial gave up and offered a full refund, but I'd rather have a solution if possible.

  At the BIOS level is 2V30, that I understand to be the latest version available.

  Ideas please, John

  Hello

  You're right, this problem seems very strange and I wonder why this happens.
  Satellite L30 certainly supports the 2 GB of memory and you should be able to upgrade with 2 x 1024Mo modules!

  It's strange, but it seems that these two modules are not compatible together
  I found Toshiba recommend module on options and accessories site.
  DDR2 400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G) maybe you could try this one...

  In any case, I don't think that you will be able to solve this problem in another way. The modules must be replaced.

• Satellite L30 - 10Y black at startup the screen upward after the installation of new modules of RAM

  Hello

  I use the L30 - 10Y model with the following memory specification:

  standard: 512 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
  expansion module sizes: 256, 512, 1 024 MB

  I use Windows Vista Home Basic Edition with a 32-bit operating system.

  When installing, I removed the standard 512 MB module and added 2 modules of 1 GB compatible. At startup, it stays on a black screen.

  However, if I removed 1 1 GB modules and put the old 512 MB module to give me 1.5 GB, it works.

  I was wondering if anyone knows why this is and if there is anything that I can try to get the maximum of 2 gb, if it is indeed possible.

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the product page Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10Y is able to manage 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
  I think that the problem is related to memory modules not fully compatible
  I think a new, fully compatible RAM modules should resolve this problem.

  PS: You updated the BIOS? If this is not the case, check if a new update of the BIOS is available on the European driver Toshiba page.

• After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

  I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

  I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
  thnx

  Hello

  You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

  Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
  Check it!
  Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

  I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
  To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
  In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

  But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

  Good luck and bye ;)
