• Satellite M30: Does not start XP

  My Tosh Satellite M30 laptop (with 2 HD discs) does not work after I have updated with the MS security updates, it does not start XP.

  The laptop makes a clicking sound and gives me the message:

  PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
  PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM
  Operating system not found.

  I changed the boot order in the BIOS to: CDROM. And select Exit and save changes.
  Inserted my Toshiba Recovery windows XP version that allows me the option of
  "1. the recovery disc" or "2. Expert recovery mode"or also"Exit ".
  I chose "1. Recovery disc"as I'm not an expert (as you can tell!)

  I then get a load of diagnostic checks run by laptop and it shows then finally on the screen:
  X:\\ no disk fixed

  Ideally, I would like to repair and keep things I have on my drive D: HD.

  I'm pretty sure the XP starts on my drive C: HD.

  Your help is very appreciated!

  Hello

  The PXE message means that the device is trying to boot from the network. I put t understand you a lot with C and D HD. I assume you mean that you have two partitions on a single HARD disk. C partition for the operating system and the D partition for your data.

  If I understood you as soon as you cannot boot operating system at all. On this path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem but obviously you a problem with the HARD drive. It is probably defective. If the recovery DVDs is not able to detect one that there may be a serious problem.

  I put t know how contact the partner old Service your unit is but if the warranty is still valid and let check the device.

  Good luck!

• 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.

  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.

  Hi, congratulations on your Satellite M30!

  Cold machine. Well I'd keep it very simple. Redefine your laptop to factory settings (Simple recover using the CD or the DVD delivered).

  If the won´t still card Wifi works, there will be a material damage on your laptop.

  Please let the dealer take a look on your machine.

• 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.

• Satellite M30 - what compatible HARD drive can I use?

  Hello

  My Satellite M30 hard drive crashed (after 3 years of intensive use). I would like to replace it, but I don't know which drive is suitable (SATA, ATA 6... etc). The original for this computer hard disk is the MK6021GAP.

  Can someone hep me on this subject? By the way, is - it complicated to replace the hard drive on this computer?

  Thank you

  Use the advanced search of this forum and you will get several results with different threads on the same topic.
  The replacement is not difficult. At the bottom f the unit, you will find a HARD drive Bay. Armand, remove the cover and cut the shape of the disk of the controller. But be careful.

• 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.

• Size Max HDD satellite M30

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite M30 laptop with a defective HARD drive, I m wondering what is the maximum size that I can put in this thing, I have a 250 GB drive, I can use, but don't know if he will be able to set the player in its actual size

  On this old laptop model you can only use hard drives with IDE connector, and as Akuma have already written, there is limitation of 128 GB so I recommend you buy 100 GB IDE HARD drive and I think he will be OK for this older model laptop.

• 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!

• Satellite M30, screen remains sometimes almost black after start up to several minutes

  Satellite M30, WinXP

  Sometimes, the screen remains dark, which means that you can see that a little bit news startup in the background and also the Office of windows, up to 2 minutes before suddenly become really turned on.
  Not even the latest version of the BIOS has a change. And what's weird, is it still does not appear. A non stop-and-shut-down-start sequence showed that it appears about 2 to 3 times.
  What could be the reason?

  Hi LeTom,

  did you use the os recovery toshiba or a clean install?

  It seems that the display shows a fault, then here are a few questions to play safely!

  There the failure also occure when the Red Toshiba logo appears shortly after starting start?

  If you are using a clean install of the OS, you need to do a complete new installation with the Toshiba Recovery CD (attention all data will be lost, make a backup).
  Then, the laptop is set back to the default settings of the software and if the failure occurred, you should check the material by a Toshiba service partner!

  I think that the M30 is still under warranty!

• Need replacement for Satellite M30 106 recovery disk

  Hello

  I need a replacement recovery disc for my satellite m30-106. I bought the laptop in the United Kingdom, but now I'm in portugal. Is there anywhere I can download or get a rendering?

  Thank you very much

  Matt Leach

  I subscribe to the opinion of Johnny s.
  The recovery CD can be purchased from suppliers of services authorized in your country. These CD s are not expensive.
