• HDD upgrade for Satellite M30 304

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30-304. It has a 40 GB hard drive and I would like to upgrade to 120 or 160 GB.

  Could if it you please let me know the specification of compatible drive for M30 - 304?
  Can what max HDD M30-304 capacity have? Detailed specifications would be useful.

  Thank you.

  I doubt you could use a 160 GB HARD drive.
  I recommend you to check a 120 GB IDE 2.5 "HDD.

  The point is that the HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and bigger hard drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

  So in my opinion the 120 GB is the largest HARD drive that can be used.

  Also check some threads here in the forum.

• Satellite M30 - after replacing drive DVD 0203: failure IDE #2 appears

  Hello

  I replaced the DVD unit on my Satellite M30 as it was broken. I installed the same unit (UJ - 820B), but now at startup, I get the error message 0203:Failure IDE #2 with options to continue starting in the operating system or run the Setup program (which does not offer something to solve this problem). The operating system (Windows XP sp2) loads fine, but the DVD unit is not recognized.

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Hi Paul,.

  All optical discs are delivered with a parameter of the base (master, slave, or C/salt) interface configured in the firmware. on PC, readers there are usually small switches to activate this setting to change, but unfortunately on readers portable there is not, so it is very important to make sure the new drive is correctly implemented by the manufacturer of the correct specification for your laptop.

  If you got the new drive to an ASP then you will need to confirm with them that the new drive is set correctly.

  From my experience, most third-party resellers don't advertise what settings their readers that makes get a suitable replacement that is very difficult.

  Kind regards

• Sporadic satellite M30-304 USB failure mouse

  Have the laptop above under XP. After that 2 years running a mouse USB laser without probs, suddenly the pointer stops for a few seconds, then takes over again, stops, starts etc. Very maddening. There is an error message saying every so often the device connected to the USB port is not installed correctly.

  I uninstall the software for the mouse and the re - install, run all my anti-virus software and Tracker, still the same problem. the trackpad still works fine, so I decide it takes the mouse and buy a new one and install it. It worked fine for a few weeks now, so today the same problem!

  Did he have the same problem or know a solution?

  Hello

  I don't use a Satellite M30 but a Satellite M40.
  I use it for a year and I have no problem with my mouse.
  I can't believe that the laptop has a malfunction, because as you say in your announcement of new mouse worked initially.
  I have no idea why your mouse pointer stops. Maybe the mouse driver causes a strange failure.
  You can also try to remove the shape of USB ports, Device Manager.
  After restarting again the operating system should recognize the USB ports again with a standard configuration.
  Then, you can try to reconnect the mouse.

  You can also try to use the mouse without having to install the drivers for mouse manufacturing delivered. Check it out

• Satellite M30-304 - strange questions after BIOS update

  Hi all

  I updated my BIOS according to the good driver for Satellite M30. However, since this operation took the endless problems with screen and wireless card. Also the screen used to display flash BIOS only now them a Centrino, Centrino logo sometimes sometimes Mr. Pentium, I don't know that the version of BIOS is incorrect for my laptop. If I try to re - install the upgrade, it is said version already installed 1.7, so will not continue.

  1. is there a way to force the re - install the same version?
  2. someone can the upgrade me of the correct BIOS Setup for the model n ° PSM30E-0QKJ1-5U, I installed the version was 20070807154017

  The history is quite interesting. AFAIK Centrino logo is there if the Centrino platform is in use.

  The Centrino platform consists of:
  an Intel Pentium M processor
  a chipset Intel 855 of the series
  an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 or later 2200 (IEEE 802 11 b) mini-PCI wireless adapter

  If a component is removed (Intel PRO/Wireless mini-PCI wireless adapter) the Centrino logo will disappear. I don't really know why logo is from time to time, but you did the right BIOS update. There is no other for your laptop model.

  Can you please tell me what is the problem with your wireless network adapter? You can use just sporadically or what?

• Satellite M30 - restore the external DVD drive

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M30. There is a problem with the drive DVD internal Multi - replacement will take a month or two to get here. I need to perform a restore on this machine. I connected an external DVD drive to the machine. When I start the machine starts on the restore CD but seems so looking for a Player X, I get the following messages displayed on the screen of the BACK:

  Device name: TOSCD001
  Number of units: 1

  CDR101: Not ready reading drive X
  Quit, retry, fail?

  Insert the recovery CD #1!

  What should I do?

  Kind regards
  Sameer

  Hello Sammer

  Unfortunately the recovery media is created to be used as internal drive only. I put t think you will be able to use it with an external device. On the restore CD there is a ghost image and it is not easy to fix it for use with an external device.

  Hello

  I know not all SD card sizes are supported.
  I m does not quote sure what max SD card format can be used in the slot of the M30, but probably 2 GB of SD card is not compatible.

  However, you said that you want to format the SD card, but have you tried to use the format utility Toshiba SD memory card?

  Please check this!

  All the tools and drivers are on the European driver Toshiba page.
  But note; M30 drivers have been moved to the Archives!

• Satellite M30-304: no start!

  I CAN'T START MY LAPTOP M30. I USED IT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON BATTERY YESTERDAY AND HE WENT TO EMPTY. I TRIED TO RESTART IT, BUT ONLY HAS 2 LIGHTS BLUE ON THE FRONT. HOW CAN I RESTART THE COMPUTER, IT SEEMS ONLY Y HAVE NO ANSWER EXCEPT POWER LIGHTS.
  I HAD A PROBLEM SIMILAR ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND I HAD TO RETURN TO RESET THE BIOS. I CAN DO MYSELF?

  Hello

  Remove the battery for a short period and try to restart the device. If the battery is empty, plug it into the power socket and charge the battery. In my opinion, you must charge the battery 12 to 24 hours.

• Very slow DVD recording on my Satellite M30

  Hello

  I have a satellite M30 with a burner DVD Teac dv-w28e. Engraving on takes (8 x) DVD 1 hour and a half to 4 GB, even if the burning program indicates the speed is 8 x and the estimated time is 10 minutes.
  So, what's the problem?

  Hello

  What burning program did you use?
  I prefer to use Nero burning utility. In my opinion, he is one of the best burning tools. You should check if you have this problem with other burning software.
  You simulate the burning process or did you burn the DVD without simulate?
  As far as I know that some programs simulate firstly the procedure of burning and having well simulate files will be burn on DVD. In this case, the burning process takes much more time.

  Good bye
