Satellite L750-201 - processor upgrade

Hello

In the last two weeks, I bought a brand new Satellite L750-201 (PSK6ME-026004EN) of PC World, the United Kingdom, which has an i3 - 380 M 2.53 Ghz with front side bus 1 066 Mhz.

Compared to my Toshiba laptop 6 year, it is lightning fast and I am generally very happy with it, but after the purchase, I was appalled to see that the CPU is a first generation Intel and not 2nd generation like most others on sale.

The i3 - 380 M is a trademark of Passmark CPU of 2337 and so the 6 GB of RAM is sufficient for my current needs, especially now I installed Ubuntu Linux in dual boot with Windows 7.

In the future if I I want to upgrade the processor and almost wish I had held out for an i5.

Question: What are my options for upgrading the processor? Specifications of the motherboard obviously comes into play here.

I would like a lot of techniques of information that you can give me because I am a software engineer with some knowledge/experience of the material.

Thank you in advance.

Upgrading the CPU may be possible, but you must use the CPU that is supported by the chipset of the motherboard.

But there would still be a question about the BIOS, no one can say that if the new processor would be proccessed by BIOS and in the worst cases the laptop would not stable after upgrading from CPU

  • Satellite L750-201 - problem with update of the BIOS - preparation for Win 8

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    I have downloaded the BIOS update file and run. I had several options. One of them was to make the update of Windows, and another was to create a boot CD to do at STARTUP.
    I created the CD and rebooted the machine with it. Everything seemed fine, but when the time came to Flash the bios I got the message about the battery must be greater than 10% and the power adapter is connected. If the BIOS update has refused to start.

    The problem is the battery was 100% or almost that I had just fully charged it. The power adapter is and powered. So whence the utility to update the BIOS get his info that the dough was less than 10%?
    I saw similar posts from other people, but the problem was usually that the battery was in fact less than 10% and that it was not charging. This isn't the case here.

    No matter, I thought, I can update the other sense through the windows.
    So I started the machine and took the Windows Flash utility. The system gave me the warning usual as planned and then rebooted the machine. He went directly in windows with the "Welcome" splash screen, and then stopped a few moments, then went to a black screen with just the pointer in the middle. I assumed it was something like the fairly active enjoy car light. However, after an age, nothing was. I could go back to the login screen by pressing the power button / standby machine and then turning it back on. My user has been locked, but I could shut down the computer and restart normally. Nothing serious happened. The machine starts very well and Windows does not normally, but BIOS remains unchanged.

    Anyone have any idea how to get the update of the BIOS to work? Seems I have to bypass the battery check or why BIOS thinks a battery of 100% is less than 10%.

    I have a L750-201 and is eligible for Windows 8. Currently Windows 7.
    I thought that I would update to the BIOS (latest version 2.6) in the latest version (3.6), which has some relevant changes to Windows 8, I understand.

    L750-201 satellite is part of the PSK6ME series.
    I wonder where you found the BIOS v3.60 for this device?
    The latest version of the BIOS seems to be v 2.80 - WIN

    So from my point of view you try update BIOS INCORRECT.

    Hello

    The answer is no, it is not possible to replace the processor in a Toshiba laptop. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation.

    By the way: A100 is one of the latest devices and I don t understand why you want to swap the CPU. Why you didn t buy best camera has better CPU performance?

    The installed BIOS has been configured by using the installed processor so presumably only if it is compatible or not
    As said codes for the replacement of the CPU is always risky, and is generally not recommended.

    I read in different messages than the laptop didn't start after replacing the CPU, but I have also heard that a laptop had run without problem after these updates.

    Therefore, it is really not easy to tell if these updates will be fine

    It s always at your own risk.

  • Get the best out of Satellite 1900-803 processor / upgrade possible?

    Hi all

    Well, this forum has been great for me up to now, thanks JohnnyS!

    I was wondering if there might be someone out there who can help me with the following problem:

    When I right click on "My computer" (current running winXPpro) I can't see what follows.

    line 1 * Intel (r)
    line 2 * Pentium (r) 4 CPU 1.70 Ghz
    line 3 * 1.69 Ghz, 768 MB RAM

    I guess that the two readings of the CPU speed indicates the maximum speed of the processor (* line 2 *) followed by the actual speed (* line 3 *). If this is the case, can I shake the extra 0.1 Ghz out of it, it is better to it and if the answer to each of these questions is 'yes' then how do I do it?

    Secondly, if I wanted to update (/ replace with a slightly faster) processor would be possible?
    So how high I can go and where I could get such a thing? Should I be careful?

    A big thank you to you experts helping beginners all out.

    Hi friend

    How you´re? Good hope, today I give you another clue (which, I hope, could perhaps help you... or not ;)))

    Your CPU is already underway to * 1.70* Ghz but windows often displays with a few mhz more or less. If you want to know if your CPU is really clocked 1.70 Ghz then download 'CPU - Z', which is a good reliable tool measures on the CPU.

    There should also be a tool that shows the frequency of the processor in real time and you'll see that the frequency of the processor performs constantly at 1.70 Ghz, it s more like a clock generator (which is a CPU) who will * autour * 1.70 Ghz.

    Surely, you can try to upgrade, but here in this forum person won't give you instructions or advice. If you want to know what capabilities can check which chipset is installed, and with these specifications, you should be able to know what CPU probably would take it or not. Research a little bit is never bad ;)

    Here´s a useful link (I hope) for you: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

    Otherwise, my advice is to 'never change a market system'

  • How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

    How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

    AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
    You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
    The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

    But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, it s not possible to upgrade on the Satellite 5100 201 up to 1024 MB memory!
    The max value memory is 512 MB.
    If you have a 256 MB module, you can use the other to upgrade the laptop to 512 MB.
    It seems that the only location cannot handle 512 MB module

    Intel i3 M380 2.53 GHz

    Hello

    The Internet provides some details on this error message.
    It seems that to install Win 8 CP the CPU must support PAE/NX/SSE2 features

    Never execute Bit ([NX bit | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit]) allows the marking of memory pages as non-executable.
    Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) is an earlier standard that is supported by Intel and AMD CPU. This is why all processors that support NX would also support SSE2 too.

    Usually, this allows the XD (for Intel processors) or NX (for AMD) in the BIOS should disable this error message.
    But if it is not available in the BIOS, then either the CPU is not supported this feature or the BIOS does not support this option.

    According to the page Intel Ark Intel Core i3 - 380 M supports the Execute Disable Bit feature. So maybe the BIOS does not support this feature

  • Drive HARD Win 7 recovery does not work on Satellite L750

    Hello

    I have the Toshiba Satellite L750 with preinstaled win 7.

    I instaled the upgrade to win 8 (from dvd).

    After that I improve the MS site to Win 8.1 System.

    The system does not work properly (DVD is not recognized) so I have to install previuos system.

    First of all, I'm improving my BIOS for the new one - 3.60.

    After that I try to win 7 reinstal my HDD recovery (which is located on the d partition). But it does not work: it has been impossible to start recovering in the menu of the bios (F8 key does not work, it was only possible to press F2 or F12).

    So I have to install my dvd 8.0 Win and now I have it and it works. But this is only a clear system without any addons like nero, ms office etc.

    My question is how do reinstal win 7 of my hard drive recovery that I always on the d partition?
    in the bios the F8 key does not work.

    After clean OS installation installation of HARD drive recovery not working anymore. If you want to have the original image of recovery preinstalled on your machine, you must use recovery DVDs.
    I assume that you did not create this disc, right?

    In the user s manuals document clearly described how it works with the image recovery and the creation of recovery disks.
