Satellite L300 - 11 M and hardware upgrade

Hi all.

I have Toshiba Satellite L300 - 11M, but my video card is very slow and I can't play games well. So, I want to upgrade trought purchase new video card. But I do not know my laptopl support AGP or PCI connector only? So what is the best video card in N-VIDIA who support?

Please help me. Thank you.

To be honest, I doubt that such external graphics card would be really useful.
According to this article, you can connect it to a USB port and in my opinion the USB 2.0 speed is not good enough to transmit a huge amount of data that accumulate through a game
However, I've never tested it so I can't give details.

  • Satellite L300-1AS - load and operate on battery

    I have a Satellite L300-1AS, running Vista. The computer began recently to show it is "connected, charge", but does not actually charge. Start the computer normally to aid decision-making of current, however if disconnected from the electrical network and the laptop died (no charge in the battery).

    I thought that he could have the power adapter, but I also have an older toshiba which has the same exact power adapter, I tried it and it works on both machines (and two adapters to charge the old laptop)

    Then I thought that maybe it's the battery and bought a new battery (the computer is under warranty, but I needed it fast). The new battery will not charge, but shows 6% charge.

    Then, I thought it might be corruption under Vista, so have returned the computer to its factory settings, by reinstalling the software. It has not yet solved the problem.

    I also tried a few other ideas I found in Google.

    I feel that this problem is perhaps something to do with THE system BIOS, I have tried to re - install, but it won't let me, and I can't find a way to return to a previous version.

    Anyone know where I can find an older version of BIOS for my machine and how to change it to an earlier version? It is currently the latest version V1.90 from the Toshiba site.

    Hello

    This really strange boyfriend s but to me it sounds like a hardware problem... I think it might be the motherboard issue. Maybe the card mother doesn t charge the battery properly.

    In my opinion the best way would be if a cell phone technician would check your laptop. They can test the motherboard and all other parts.
    I doubt that s a BIOS because you problem n t have the problem for the first time.

    On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • Satellite L300 - beep after Windows 7 upgrade loop

    Hello

    I have the laptop next

    Toshiba Satellite L300
    Number of model PSLB8E - 15W007EN
    Serial 99086404Q

    I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7, it completed the process of installation, but when I boot, the laptop is a continuous loop off beep (sounds like she a loop of 22 beep... If that's any help), then shows a blue on the screen if you have installed new hardware, etc. So, I go to repair system that fails, please someone help me.

    Thank you

    Welshie

    Hi Welshie_1,

    These beep codes mean usually there is a hardware malfunction detected

    You can start in safe mode?
    Have you noticed the beep code when you go into the BIOS too?

    You can install Windows recovery disk Toshiba or you get a bluescreen too?

  • Satellite L300-1 has 3 - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite L300-1 to 3.
    His performance is good.
    But the futre if I change CPU, how is supported Core2Duo series?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba and almost all the other laptop manufacturers.
    Generally, you should know that the components of laptops such as CPU or GPU are not expandable.

    In most cases, the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard. Upgrading CPU is more complicated and delicate for different reasons.
    The main reason would be the heat dissipation. The stronger CPU produces more heat, which can affect the functionality of the laptop.
    In other cases the CPU can be not supported by the BIOS and in the worst case that wouldn't boot up the laptop.

    If you want to upgrade the computer components in the future with new CPU or better graphics chip then you shouldn't buy a laptop but a desktop PC!

    That s my personal opinion

    Thank you

    Hello!

    1. first of all it of called * AHCI * and not ACHI ;)
    I put t know what you mean with you can t install it but the Intel Storage Manager contains the drivers you need and you have to integrate the drivers during the installation of Windows XP. This means that you must use the external floppy drive or nLite ([www.nliteos.com]). So I think that this Toshiba document could be useful for you:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm
    If you have other questions about this, check out hundreds of threads here in the forum!

    On Windows XP it of not possible to use 4 GB of RAM. Why? Check this box:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

    2. on the Toshiba site, you can search for your model. Then, you will get a list of all the drivers you need for your mobile only:

  • Satellite L30-10 x and RAM upgrade

    Hello

    IM missing to know where and how to upgrade RAM in Satellite L30 - 10 x. I would like to switch to 2 GB (maximum) and also upgrade to vista Home premium.
    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To upgrade of RAM on this laptop model is very simple. Memory locations are under the memory cover. Remove cover memory placed in the lower corner of your laptop (in the middle) and you will have access to these two RAM slots.

    If you want to use max RAM I recommend to buy compatible DDR2 400/533 1 GB module with the PA3411U-1M1G part number.
    Vista upgrade should be no problem at all. On the Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > download & support, you can find the Vista drivers, tools and utilities for your Satellite L30 (PSL33E).

    Good luck!

  • Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

    Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

    And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    P.

    Hello

    I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

    Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

    About the RAM, I tried to upgrade before but abandoned after Misco sent me upgrades wrong a few times. Does anyone know a supplier who could have a sales team could sell me the good memory?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It is possible to upgrade the HDD up to 30 GB.
    The BIOS should recognize this format without any problem. You can use a simple 2.5 bus master IDE HDD.

  • tools and hardware upgrades through the update after the upgrade Manager

    If I run a base line to upgrade tools and equipment of vmware, then choose restore, is a clever enough Update Manager to make tools first and then perform the upgrade of hardware vm? I have a few machines I moved from 4.1 to 5.1 and the two operations must be made. I don't know if I have to do both together or separately.

    This logic is incorporated in the Update Manager if you use grouping Baseline: basically, create a group with the material and baselines Tools, join group reference VM (s) that interest you and to fix. Otherwise, you can make sanitation through autonomous base lines - in this case, you would need address first, then hardware tools.

  • Satellite M45-S169 - overheating and the upgrade card RAM/graphics

    Hello

    I have need some answers and solace to the questions I have on my laptop. Here are the following questions:

    Laptop overheating fast enough, hereby, I mean in about 10 minutes, the laptop Burns upward. It is the model or is there something wrong with it? I can't keep the laptop without maintaining that it plugged into the wall at all times. That this has something to do with my battery like that I need a new?

    I am able to install the new RAM * (2 GB Max) and if yes, someone knows how it slots are for this model? (Not really opened to check because I'm bad to put things together after taking them apart)

    I am able to install a new graphics card for the laptop or I'm stuck with ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 M Series? (and if it is not too much to ask, is the graphics card, I have good, bad, or so - so)

    Sorry if there are too many questions, but it would be really nice if I get the answers to all these.

    Hi Honu_2,

    (1.) you should clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans and read this article please:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=40

    2.) Yes, it seems that you need a new battery if your laptop only works with AC/DC adapter connected.

    3.), you should check your owner's manual. As far as I know this model supports up to 2 GB of RAM. This means that you can install 1 GB into the two slots.

    (4.) the graphics card upgrade is not possible because it s/set soldered on the motherboard and your laptop is designed only for the preinstalled graphics card.

    By the way: these questions are already answered here. Check out the forum for similar topics, you will find many interesting things! ;)

  • Satellite C850-1 kN and CPU Upgrade

    I recently got my hands on one of these laptops. It has a Pentium 960 b for the moment, but I searched for Intel i3 - 3110M or Intel i3 processor - 3130M CPU on eBay to replace the slower Pentium.

    Both are IvyBridge, identical to the original and both have a TDP of 35W, which means that they should not belt any more heat it does (or at least no more than the fan can handle, because the fans are usually designed to be mass produced and used in many different laptops (, but the same form factor)

    Someone had a bit of luck the upgrade of their CPU in Toshiba laptops? I guess I'm of the same generation of processor Intel should mean support BIOS already integrated into the planks of the BIOS...

    I can tell you that a lot of people have been able to upgrade the processor in their notebooks of Toshiba but fact is simple as this upgrade isn't officially supported by laptop manufacturers and can be done at your own risk.
    Generally the CPU upgrade depends on chipset and BIOS support.

    The laptop supports the Mobile HM70 Express Chipset Intel - compatible and supported processors are Intel ARK page in compatible products section:
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-BD82HM70-PCH

    To be honest I don't think that all compatible CPUS are but it s a good start point.

    However, the BIOS must support also the new processor and maybe it's the thorny question since no one knows what are the processors supported by the BIOS because this information isn't out of nowhere.
