• Can I replace the GPU on Satellite L300D?

  Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite L300D.

  From the start after about 15-20 seconds it stops not to reach any screen. I took it to a real PC repair company and after a few days that they be taught me the graphics card had packed and needed replacement for the sum of £ 70. Tell him what I kind a second opinion and spoke to a friend I.T. from my friends who said that we can not just replace the GPU as it is part of the motherboard and it would cost more than £150.

  Could someone advise / tell me who is right, the laptop is about 4 years old. Any help is greatly appreciated

  Thank you very much
  Paul

  In General, your friend IT is right. On mobile laptops graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be replaced or upgraded.

  In such cases service order new mainboard and replace it. Problem is that this new mainboard is quite expensive.

• Satellite M100-222: display panel dithering-> high compression like jpg

  I bought Satellite M100-222 2 days. Soon, I saw that solid colors like windows default blue or gray /many of others too / appear strangely - it seems that dirty, grainy, or as strong jpg compression.

  It is not only my opinion. As much as I know that some people who have had the same problem with the Satellite A100 series-, contributed to a bios upgrade. I have the new bios, 2.60 /25.01.2007/ new drivers for ATI x 1400 cards / but it's all the same... Graphics card seems to be ok - external monitor connected to the laptop seems good. So far, no solution.

  What to do with it, what do you think?
  Why is it like that? What's wrong?

  Hello

  I checked the issue described on Satellite M100-188 with TruBrite screen. It is visible on the white and clear areas, but on Start button while that turn off everything is OK.

  I'm really interested about service information, but I'm sure that there are no bugs and according to me, there is not much to do. I know it's much worse on a Satellite phone, and because of this, it has been updated from the BIOS.

  By the way: on my old Tecra M1 with LCD panel normal white background is also not 100% clear. But I must say that TryBrite on Qosmio laptops display is bright and much better than on M100. I really put t know what difference it there but perhaps portable multimedia expencive were simply better display.

  To see what service will say about this.

• Satellite M30 - how to replace the hinges?

  Hello!

  Has anyone replaced the hinges on Satellite M30? Any help or a link to a manual would be useful.

  Thnx!

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no manual maintenance on the page of Toshiba Europe. Only the authorized service provider got access to such manuals.

  I found this page:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba_Satellite_M35/take_apart_notebook_1.htm

  But I put t know if it will be useful for you.
  Generally, I have to say that the replacement of hinges is not easy. It s really complicated because the laptop must be disassembled.
  You must remove the mask of the display first and then have to remove the LCD screen before you could see the hinges.

  To be honest I don't recommend trying to replace it with your own hand because you may damage other parts.
  I recommend a visit to a local technician for laptop and I would like to ask for help.

• Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

  Hi all

  My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

  SUGESTIONS are welcome.

  TKS

  Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
  There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

  The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
  You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

  Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

• Satellite L650 - 10 H - replace the optical drive of a second HDD/SSD?

  Hello
  Is it possible to replace the DVD burner with a second hard drive or an SSD?

  Thank you
  Michael.

  Hello

  First of all I don't know why would you refrain from ODD... I always use ODD and it fail...

  Well, some laptops as Tecra has supported this feature.
  For that you need a special envelope where the HARD drive is placed.
  This Chamber was placed in the Bay of ODD.

  But I m not very well if L650 model that would support personally I doubt it would work because of the controller on the motherboard.

  However, if you want to be safe, I would recommend an ASP in your country you asking if a compatible box be available satellite L650.

• Satellite M100-165: connection to the LAN operarte correctly

  I have a Satellite M100-165 for about 2 years with the original Setup (win XP etc) and I make all updates.
  The problem is that the connection to the local network is working properly from the beginning.

  I can connect only if I set the NIC property "link speed & Duplex = 10 Mbps Full Duplex", but on some LANs operate at all.
  I appreciate any response.

  Thank you

  I'm a bit confused now. What you mean with connection to the LAN working correctly from the beginning? What is started for you?
  I can't believe that you declare on that now, two years later. Have you already tried to install recovery image and test it with the factory settings?

• Satellite M100 - how to use the restore CD?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba satellite m100...
  Due to a virus problem, I had my laptop set in shape by a local technician...
  It has installed a pirated version of windows xp, even if I had given him the recovery dvd. I had the memory upgraded to 1 GB also...

  Now, I would like to know how to use my recovery DVD for the original windows xp? The user manual mentions express media player recovery cd.
  I n t have it... What should I do... plse help... as you can see, I am a complete newbie at this... so would appreciate that you would give me the answer in detail... Thanks in advance...

  Hello

  It's really easy buddy.
  You must boot from the Toshiba recovery disc in order to start the recovery procedure.

  But note; the recovery disc formats the entire HARD drive. So if you have important data on your HARD drive and save it first.

• Portege M100 - how to replace the RTC battery?

  Hello, my Portege M100 RTC battery is flat. I managed to order one of the internet, but I can't locate. I disassemble almost every part of the computer, but if someone could just guide me and give the procedure to replace, that would be great. Thanks in advance!

  Hi friend

  It s easy to replace the RTC battery on your machine. I already did and I had no problem when replacing, I mean it's a bit difficult to find the batt. but I will give all that to my experience. ;)

  First look at the wireless lan card, West a slot under the slot lies the minipci wlan card. Near the wireless lan card slot is somewhat on the cover, this cover must be removed (quietly). The RTC battery is located in a white insulator, but before you peel this small battery, you must disconnect the battery from the motherboard. After unplugging it, simply lift the RTC and place a new.

  That's all, unfortunately I can't serve you with some photos, so you'll have to imagine yourself. ;)

  Good luck and welcome

  P.s.: If you feel uncomfortable by replacing the batt, then ask some tech to help you.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, you can replace the CD/DVD drive with a new one.
  But be aware that not all of the sides are compatible due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

• Replace the GPU GT 530

  I have a pavilion HPE h8-1150uk, 530 GT GPU fan begins to make noise and I would like to replace it.  I am aware of the difficulties of the BIOS etc of these machines when you choose a replacement of the GPU and I would appreciate your recommendations for a replacement of the GPU.

  Thank you very much.

  I decided to abort the mission, I removed the GT530, as it deepened the own and it works fine. However, he taught me never to buy a HP desktop computer ever, due to their poor after sales maintenance of the MoBo BIOS.

• Satellite M100 - can not repair the 1394 connection & Wlan driver needed

  I installed XP Pro on my Satellite M100, due to being Home Basic, vista terrible.
  I installed all the drivers listed on the site of toshiba for the XP system.

  When I try to repair the 1394 connection I get message saying to error failed to query TCP/IP.

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  Also the wireless for this system driver does not appear to be installed.

  Does anyone know where I could get it from?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  May I ask if you have installed the LAN driver?
  And if you have installed the network driver; have you tried to update the driver LAN?

  To be honest, I do not know why this error, but I wonder why repair you the 1394 connection.

  However, in my opinion the LAN driver should be updated and you should also check if the TCP/IP protocol is set to automatic.

  You can google a little how to change TCP/IP settings.

  By the way; The WLAN driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page!

• Satellite X 200 and replace the HD-DVD player

  G ' Day

  I'm looking to replace the HD-DVD drive in my Toshiba X 200 (PSPBUA-00N007) with a Blu - Ray player (or burner). They are on the market yet and available at Toshiba (or, say, eBay)? What should I look for?

  The HD-DVD player is a cool historical anachronism, but Blu - Ray will probably be a little more useful for me in the future.

  Cheers for the help.

  Hello

  As far as I know, there are some Blueray drives on the market that can be used in the notebook. But the fact is that not all readers are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings.

  I didn t find information on compatible BR readers. I guess you will have to test it yourself.
