• Re: Satellite C - brightness adjustment market works

  As the title says, sometimes, I can adjust the brightness with the fn keys and sometimes not. In fact, in this case, I can't adjust the brightness at all. Since I'm not very frequently change the brightness, I can't really give a model. But the last time this happened was the following

  -running on battery power, the fn keys work to adjust the brightness
  -Put hang it (or is that Hibernate in windows 7, the one under fn 4)
  -resume
  -cannot adjust brightness more

  It looks more like a problem of windows than a toshiba problem, but who knows.
  Furthermore, if I reboot, the brightness adjust still works. And the function keys work fine too, for example. sleep, suspend, zoom...

  Hi thargor,

  The brightness and all the other keys FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. I think that don t work tools much more then I recommend reinstall these two tools of Toshiba. You can download on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But remove older versions first before reinstalling the newest one.

• Satellite M30: I need a resolution more

  Hello

  I have M30, XP system.
  The resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels screen isn't enough. Is there a way to increase the resolution?
  (Virtual resolution are not good that need you to scroll the screen...)

  I think that your internal display is at its maximum resolution. If you need a higher resolution then my suggestion is to use an external monitor.

  Hello

  > Original driver here on the TOSHIBA page... is too old... and mae AMD driver problem...

  I put t know how help you buddy the point is that the graphics card driver that is available on the page of the Toshiba driver is modified for mobile use and its recommended by Toshiba.
  Usually, you use this driver to make sure that the correct feature for laptop.

  Of course, you can try to use the other graphics card drivers, but in some cases, different version could lead to small different questions: in this case > problem with brightness control.

  However, you can try to install the graphics driver AMD/ATI driver Toshiba UE page but check the driver released for other series of laptop. You might get a more recent version of the driver.

  Brightness last but not the least similar problems could be value added Package update (for Win 7), but also the BIOS update (if available)

• Satellite M30 don't start more

  Hello

  can certain a plez point me in the direction of Scripture?

  Help, please!
  thanx

  Hello

  You know, without any of the detailed tests we can only suggest what might be wrong.
  I think there must certainly be a hardware problem because I guess that you can not see the start screen for Toshiba at the beginning of the startup procedure.

  It might be something wrong with the motherboard. I put t don't know if this helps but try to remove the power supply and the laptop AC adapter for several times. After 10-15 minutes, you could put the power supply in the notebook and connect the power adapter. Try to start.

  But if it doesn't help then in my opinion, a technician must check the device.
  Sorry for this general suggestion but I think it's the best way to know what's wrong.

• Satellite L450D - cannot change the brightness of the screen more

  I was wondering if someone could help me. All of a sudden, I noticed that I can't change the brightness on my laptop what so ever. I don't know how long it has been like that but its pretty boring.

  I am currently running Windows 7 Home premium on the laptop just for information. I tried to change in power management and try to change the management of the real power, and pressing fn + f6/f7

  Any help would be appreciated with gratitude

  Hi telford_boi,

  Can you notice other work of Fn keys or just the screen brightness doesn't work more?

  In your case I would try reinstalling the package of value added. It controls the FN keys you want to say and all these special functions. You can download it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Before installing the latest version, delete the old first, please.

• Satellite M30: FN keys not working not not after installing IE7

  I installed IE7 and noticed that the fn keys no longer work. (Satellite M30)
  I don't know if it was the catalyst because I do not know how long the problem has been.

  The only ones I use often are FN + f6 and f7 +.
  I really need to be able to adjust the brightness of the screen. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  First lights up the screen can be changed also in the Toshiba Power Saver utility.

  But it s very strange that, after the IE7 update the FN keys stopped working. I installed the IE7 on my laptop, and the FN keys still work very well.

  So maybe it of a simply wrung something in the registry. Who knows?  :|
  I recommend reinstalling the common Modules.

  Maybe it helps!

• 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.

• 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.

• Satellite M30 restart

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite M30, which, after a few years of loyal and troubled, free service began to take a few minutes to start. I tried to fix this using the product recovery discs but can get no more than the screen asks me to insert the disc 1. After a few minutes of a blank screen, there is a beep and an 'error' message.

  Can t really afford a new laptop and I'm a little worried about buying a 2nd hand, so this is my last hope.

  Read what people are saying in these forums, I feel out of my depth and probably wont be able to understand all the answers that come my way. But if someone have any ideas then please let me know. Thank you. getcarter

  P.S. I was in a curry the other day looking at all the laptops I could t afford, when I heard someone who brought a Toshiba and seemed to have the same problem. Unfortunately, the Currys staff didn't have much of a clue and could only think of hitting the 'C' button over and over and over and over again!

  As far as I know Satellite M30 comes with 2 recovery CD (1/2 and 2/2).
  The recovery procedure must be started with CD1/2. Check this and that!

• Need of recovery for Satellite M30 Series CD

  Hi all!

  I lost my recovery CD and in France they say that it is not possible to send one for me (they said it's old and they don't have them).

  First question: is it possible to use a CD from an another Toshiba (same model)?
  A second: If so, can someone send it to me? I live in Paris!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite M30 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine that this authorized partner can not order the original CD more.

  It will be much better off buying the CD of Microsoft WXP facilities (on eBay it ain't cheap) and you can install WXP yourself. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba supports the page.

  For me, it's the best solution for you.

• How to change the cooler on Satellite M30-344?

  Hello

  IA´m lucky enough with my Satellite M30 - 344, but 2 months the cooler starts to become stronger every day. Is it possible to change the cooler on mine and how expansive is the original cooler? Do you know anything as a tutorial for the change process?

  Originally from 2 256 parts MB of Ram is installed. Now ia´m think about a bigger total RAM. As far I know are only 2 slots for RAM, or I'm wrong. Is it possible to install two 1 GB RAM pieces?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hello

  The replacement of internal devices is not easy and a little risky.
  I wouldn't recommend replacing the cooling module yourself.
  You might damage it something on the map and as you know the motherboard is costly parts of the laptop. The manuals are not published because these documents are only for technicians and service partners.
  So I think you should ask a service partner to help him because these guys have more experience in these procedures.

  I found a site online with the memory modules for Satellite M30 344
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=6958&ft=m&St=3

  It is said that it of possible to upgrade memory to 2 GB max. That's why I think that it of possible to use module 2 x 1024 MB.
