Similar Questions

• Satellite M30-154: is - that someone has installed Ubuntu 9.04

  Hi all

  I just installed Ubunti Desktop 9.04 on my Toshiba Satellite M30-154.

  I was wondering if anyone of you has already installed Ubunti 9.04 (or previous) on this laptop and as appropriate
  you know specific drivers to install to properly manage the CPU power, energy etc...

  Thank you

  Matt

  Hello

  I'm no Linux expert, but until you wait for someone who has the same laptop with audit of preinstalled Ubuntu Linux for the PC Toshiba under http://linux.toshiba-dme.co.jp/linux/ information page

• CPU frequency and bus on Satellite M30 is too low

  Hello

  The processor and my Satellite M30 bus seems to be significantly under speed. According to Windows XP Pro and Solaris Nevada, the processor is clocked at 600 MHz. The frequency of the BIOS, scaling parameter is set to "Still high", and I tried to disable ACPI in the operating system (ensuring no interference on the software side), without result. Power in the Toshiba Power Saver settings are all maxed out, so no scaling should be there either. Intel Processor Identification Utility reports the following:

  Reported expected
  Speed: 1.60 GHz GHz 0.44
  System bus: 400 MHz 294 MHz

  Note that the tool uses algorithms to determine the speed, rather than trusting the value returned by the operating system, that one of her aims purposes is testing for fraudulenty CPU overclocked by OEMs. The speed as it is for me is even more disappointing. I don't know how long it has been like that, but one thing to note is that the motherboard has been replaced last summer.

  Someone has an idea what here? Thank you.

  Edit: I also loaded the CPU with CPU-Burn to see if some heavy loads would get understandingly frequency. It has no effect.

  Hello

  If you use the advanced search option, you will find a few similar topics with the explanation very clear why unit works with 600 MHz only.

  In any case, after the replacement motherboard service must blink mainboard firmware. After doing this it will work at full speed. Because of this, I guess they forgot to do.

  It is not a big problem. Please contact again and explain the situation.

  I think that this old notebook to old IDE connector so please be sure of the former is back with a new.
  80 GB capacity will be OK.

  Best thing you can do is remove the old HDD and check if the HARD disk is connected directly or with the small adapter. M30 is old model laptop and I do not exactly remember what it looks like but, in general, I sure you can use this disc HARD m.

  In the worst cases send it back.

• Satellite M30-154 cannot connect to wireless internet (wifi)

  Hello

  I did a recovery of product on my m30 - 154 a couple of days, and now it doesn't connect to the internet wireless, we have in our House. He sees the SSID, but it just connect, I have already made an update of the BIOS and an Intel update and I don't know what to do now. Can someone help me?

• Satellite A210 - 16G - problem of CPU frequency and memory

  Hey guys,.

  I had a problem with my laptop I can't solve, since I installed windows 7 RTM x 64 version.
  I noticed something is wrong after finding that my Windows experience index has fallen to 2.7 instead of 4.5, I used to have on Vista. For those who do not know my characteristics are:
  AMD Turion 64 X 2 TL-60, which I've got 2.7 of note, 4 GB Kingston DDR2-667 (333 MHz) - 4.4, scores of charts and hard drives are the same.

  I read in one of the forums that it may be a problem with the standby power options, but he did not get any option that says on the frequency of the processor changing according to the plan of the power. I also installed new version 2.0 of the website of Toshiba BIOS, but it only makes things worse: I've got 6.0 rating graphics of games but the Perf of Aero desktop is now 1.0!

  I installed diagnostic software: Everest and CPU - Z and I discovered that my CPU works with a frequency of 800 Mhz (the multiplier is 4 x, voltage 0.8V) and my DRAM frequency is 159.8 Mhz (I don't know if it's ok, but I know that 4.4 score is certainly too low although).

  So tell me guys, is this a problem of the operating system? Should I try to install the 32-bit version of Windows 7, or it won't change anything? Maybe I should try some software that would change the frequency of my FSB?
  I'm waiting for your answers, because I don't know what to do.

  Aero needs a WDDM compatible graphics driver, then try to update the graphics driver on the Toshiba site

• Satellite A500-040 - too noisy CPU fan

  My CPU fan runs too fast and too loud. The fan speed is still 73 percent. Although I have not used all the programs, the CPU fan speed is always 73%. Never speed is made once it has reached 73%. Even the CPU temperature is about 35%.
  I tried to do as a result of the actions:
  It solves not 1 updating bios/drivers-
  2 changing settings of the power plan does not solve
  3 cleaning cooling module does not solve

  Can someone help me?

  Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it. Cooling fan is controlled automatically. I put t know which options have the power that you have changed, but please try to change the option for cooling method. You can find it in the advanced power options > Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method.
  Use the optimized battery option. This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

• Satellite M30: 1.8 Ghz CPU stuck at 598 MHz

  Hello

  My CPU is stuck at 598 MHz. I think it has been like this since I bought it 2 years ago. I am in Australia at the moment and very rude support could not help.

  I did a search in google and got a few answers, but nothing helped. I tried to change the management settings power, BIOS settings, BIOS upgrade, etc.. Nothing! The CPU runs at a max of 598 Mhz

  Any ideas. I heard that there is a utility that could solve this problem, but toshiba has taken off the Web site for any reason

  Andrew

  No, no update of the utility or the BIOS update will help.
  It seems that the firmware must be updated on this laptop.

  For the most part this microcode update is necessary after the replacement of the motherboard.
  I think that there is without a lot of do you contact the service partner in your country for the microcode update

• Satellite M30-154 - no color on TV

  A TV connected via s-video-to-scart cable. The image is perfect, but in black and white, not color.
  Tried to find settings in the drivers display, but so far nothing brought the color in the image. (the tv is fine)

  In the settings there is a possibility to choose a color profile, maybe the problem with the article, but I can't find any of them work.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I think that the picture on the TV is black and white due to the assignment of the evil of the cable pins SCART.
  I had a similar problem and fixed by using another cable.
  I switched to cable s-video to s-video.
  S-video cable supports only video signals, and that's why I used an extra audio cable I plugged to laptop headphone plug and TV too.

• M30-154: battery works only 10 min

  Please help me: I bought my satellite m30 154 21 months ago and recently the battery seems to be crazy: capacity has really reduced, because (from 0 to 100%) charge time is 30 min long, and when he finishes, I put off the AC adapter then the battery goes from 100% to 0% in 10 minutes! What is the problem? is this normal in less than 2 years he's already dead? I already tried to unload and reload several times completely, but the result is the same... do you think that formatting and reinstalling something will change? or just the battery died and I need to buy a new one? Thanks marco

  Hi Marco,.

  Battery life is notoriously unpredictable and it is very possible that some of the cells of the battery have deteriated to the point where they will hold is no longer a burden.

  If you have tried to recondition the battery to full charge, discharge and then recharge it is likely that the battery does not and must be replaced.

  The M30 does not seem to be prone to problems of power with the battery adapter and it works not properly (see other posts in this forum), but I don't think it's your problem. Your software of power probably isn't at issue here.

  Kind regards

• High temperature CPU on Satellite M30

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30 852 with Pentium M 1.5 GHz processor. My problem is that the heater does not start until the CPU temperature reached 70 degrees, which I think is a bit high, no mention that when it has reached this temperature I can not keep the laptop on my legs because it burns... and also to kind of warm around the touchpad and left side of the keyboard.

  My question is if there is any software I can use to take the cooler start at low temperatures, to keep, or if there is no setting I can adjust the laptop utilities to solve this problem (in addition to throttle CPU cooling where is defined in the performance).

  Thank you all in advance!

  Could PS: Anyone tell me which button support when starting, to get into the BIOS...? Because the F1, esc or del does not work.

  Post edited by: master of ceremonies

  Hello

  The temperature of 70 ° C nothing unusual and in my opinion not too high.
  Is that it s not recommended to use the laptop on your legs or in bet, etc.
  You should always be sure that there is enough free space (left, right, bottom) around the laptop for the circulation of fresh air!

  Usually, the Toshiba power saver controls the cooling method and the CPU processing speed. If you want to change some settings you should the fact in the basic power saver menu.

  PS: on m30 the phoenix BIOS has been installed and therefore, you should use the F2 key.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite M30 106

  Hi people

  Could with help please?

  Just got an old Toshiba Satellite M30-106, a few weeks ago and [to be fair] it works OK with xp on it. I bought another 2 gig DDR which brings speed wise difference, but I can move the processor to the Intel® Pentium® M processor 725 1.60 GHz FSB: 400 MHz, 2: 2 MB level cache that s in there earlier?

  Can she take a CPU more high if so what s the highest? Would be very graciously tips please.

  Thanks in advance...

  At first, I must say that I agree with you that this laptop will work with Windows XP Home edition. At least this laptop model is designed for Windows XP Home edition. ;)

  I found some info on the processors on Satellite M30:
  + The Satellite M30 computer is equipped with a processor Intel Banias who +.
  + integrates mathematical co-processor, memory 64 KB of L1 cache and a 1 MB L2 cache.
  + memory. The processor works with one of the following speeds: +.
  + Processor Intel Banias 1.40 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
  + Processor Intel Banias 1.50 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
  + Processor Intel Banias 1.60 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.
  + Processor Intel Banias 1.70 GHz (1.35v) / 1.20 GHz (0.85V) +.

  Then maybe you can use the fastest processor 1.70 GHz. I don't think you'll see the difference.
  Best thing you can do is upgrade RAM to max and optimize Windows XP Home pre-installed, and you will be happy with this good old classic.

  Hello

  In my opinion, it's a very bad idea to open Notepad on your own. As you know that books are very sensitive units and if you have no experience you shouldn't do this. I guess that the guarantee is valid for two years and open Notepad, you can void your warranty.

  I'm sorry, but I put t see any means cleaning without dismantling because there is no cooling grilles of ventilation and air in the lower corner. On some laptops from Toshiba, the of cold air is visible and the cleaning procedure is much easier.
  Before doing something wrong contact partner in your country. It is also possible that there is a problem with the CPU fan and it can be exchanged.

  Good bye

• Satellite A80-154: Questions on BIOS/cooling

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  I recently bought a Satellite A80 154 of the German retailer "Media Markt" for only EUR 1299,-.

  Although the general impression of the laptop is fine, I have two questions that make me think back to the seller. The questions are:

  (1) cooling system is too strong, in particular Linux, which is my main platform. However, the problem occurs on Windows, where I am able to slow down the CPU frequency (but not GPU) with an average success in terms of reduction of sound intensity.

  (2) bios of a laptop is by Phoenix and not Toshiba, which I expect to find (it's a big problem for me, since the Linux kernel for Toshiba laptops support is much better than that of Phoenix BIOS).

  Here are my questions:

  Toshiba selling different versions of the Satellite A80 154? (for example a good market with Phoenix bios and more expensive with a Toshiba bios and improved cooling). If they did, I would invest the additional EUR 300,- and buy one directly from Toshiba (if possible at all). I also ask, because I tried to update the Bios with version 1.70 - WIN (is this Toshiba BIOS?) from the BIOS download site unfortunately without success (he complains about the size of the bad bios).
  Is it possible to operate an A80-154 with BIOS Toshiba (and this would reduce the level of noise)?

  Sincerely yours.
  Martin Spindler.
  PS: Will to sell Toshiba laptops supports the new standard MXM in the near future?
  PPS: Please respond directly to the [email protected]

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  1, on the volume of the cooling system, I can only advice you the Toshiba Power Saver or 4.23 SPEEDFAN tool.

  2, which has your BIOS model depends on the series of products. If you want a Toshiba BIOS, you must choose a laptop as the M40 Satellite, Tecra M3, Tecra A4 or Tecra M4.
  You can also ask your local dealer or test it!

  Good bye

• Satellite M30-S309 - what is the fastest processor for upgrade?

  I'm looking to upgrade the CPU in my M30 and wonder, what is the processor the faster, in that I can put? I am very familiar with the guts of the PC and I'm comfortable replace myself, I just need to know what the fastest I can get is.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Until you have created this topic, did you find it?
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=13]

  If you want to risk this update check the specifications of the other portable Satellite M30. If you can find one with faster CPU, maybe it will work also on your laptop.

  But don not forget that the current CPU is tested in your laptop!
