Satellite M30X-165 - broken HDD, need to be replaced
Hello
2 years and a few months after I bought the M30X 165, the hard drive has some corruptions (it's a Hitachi drive) and the tool manufacturer for consistency checking shows some errors. Hitachi offers a three-year guarantee for these hard drives (Travelstar).

To my knowledge the laptop is covered by the warranty for a year. If you register on the page of Toshiba notebook you could get an extra year warranty (2 years total).
If pieces of hardware will die after the warranty expires, you pay for the replacement.
> 2. What would be a good replacement for the reader?
The laptop supports the IDE if you buy and IDE HDD.
In addition, you must make sure that the size of the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS.
In my opinion the 250 GB not are just too. Try a 120 GB. I think that it should be compatible.
Best regards

Satellite M30X-165: Mat * a UJ - 831 S is not read and write any DVD
Hello
the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive. Even at the start of the DVD, it does not start from the recovery DVD, the player starts and slows down very quickly.
Without doubt, it must be put at the service of repair or someone has other suggestions?Could you please tell me how long the repair takes (I know what it takes to install the desktop temporarily used).
Thank you

Using burning software, it detects the DVD, but invite you to an "error of calibration power (037303).Hello
If you cannot use recovery media, I guess that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

Satellite M30x-165: OpenGL in the graphics driver is old
Hello
I have a Satellite M30x-165.
I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the page Web of Toshiba.When I check the version of the OpenGl driver it says that the version is 1.5.4454. Recently, I heard that this version is very old and may cause some problems with certain programs.
The computer does not install the downloaded driver directly from ATI Web page.
How can I update the version of OpenGL?
Thank you well in advance.
Greetings,
ArgonisHello
The M30X isn't the new laptop series and therefore the graphic driver seems to be not updated to the latest state
Graphics drivers that are released in the Toshiba page are designed especially for Toshiba laptops and there is a big difference between the Toshiba and the drivers of the ATI page. So it's not easy to install the ATI drivers on laptops OS.But there is one thing; first of all, you can unzip the package and then you could try to update the driver through Device Manager. Here, you point to the folder decompressed driver to update the graphics driver.
This allows you to install non-Toshiba divers would help the Toshiba notebook.
But note; These drivers are not certified for the use of the laptop and so you can ONLY use and YOUR OWN RISK.

Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work
Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.
Hello
Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.
BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!
You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive
See you soon

Noise appears on the recovery image installed Toshiba?
If Yes, I assume that you have installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD and Toshiba drivers and utilities in the wrong order or some drivers are missing.
But maybe the his doesn t appear due to the installation of SP2.
I read in the Sp2 installation documentation (found on the Toshiba driver page) that maybe the Yamaha AC - XG driver sound 6.13.10.2152 must be installed.Anyway, please check this possibility.

Satellite M30x-165 - screen is black
Dear all,
Unfortunately, my screen is black.
Whenever I start my laptop / notebook my screen (display / monitor) is black.
I can't use my laptop because I don't see anything. The system works.
Why does this happen?
What can I do against it?I'd appreciate any help.
Best regards
JJHi JJ,
A friend of me had the same problem on his Satellite M30x too. He didn t see an image on the monitor internal but external monitor works properly.
Also, do you have plugged an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image on the external monitor?However, after testing an external monitor that works, he replaced the internal screen FL inverter and the laptop working again properly. :)
If t, you can see an image on the external monitor too, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the card mother or something else.
You can access the BIOS? -
Satellite M30X-134. A device that can replace the "Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 820 s'?
Hello world.
My laptop is still big, and I don't want to get a new one.
The DVD combo 'Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-820 s' is now defective! The nearest Toshiba Servicecenter said that there will be EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS and gave no other details or suggestions, but if I find cheaper that they will install it.Now Ive has been unable to find the UJ-820 's' but some stores online request for similar models (UJ-846 and UJ - 850 among others) replace it without complications and are like 10 times cheaper.
If anyone knows exactly what we can replace the UJ-820 s (same characteristics)
Please let me now, it will be highly appreciated.PS. I have the UJ-820 's' think theres also UJ-820 and UJ - 820D I do not know the difference, the manufacturer (panasonic) does anyway.
My dear laptop is: Toshiba Satellite M30X-134 (PSA72E - 015022GR) (in German)Thanks in advance.
ErikaHello
You can use almost all mast * one car because readers have some major differences. Maybe we can do DVD-R and another can do more media, but if you just need a reader to write cd/dvd then you can catch a UJ-846 or something similar from the connectors and electronics are almost the same.
Moreover, I know many after-sales Service of toshiba but $ 800? Please can you post which was the service centre. Thank you.
Greetings and good weekend

Edit the modules of memory in Satellite M30X 165
The laptop has two memory modules with 512 MB of each module. I got an opportunity 1 gigabits.
Can I remove one of the 512 MB modules and install the 1 GB module to get total 1.5 GB of RAM or need two modules of the same size memory?
I agree with user IronMan.
The laptop seems to support 2 GB of RAM, so the use of modules of 1 GB and 512 MB of RAM should be possible -
How to install Win 7 on a Satellite M30X-165 (S)
The laptop has a Pentium clocked at 1.6 GHz and 1 GB of RAM which I would upgrade to 2 GB. I want to change the OS from Win XP to Win 7. I know that Toshiba do not support the software and drivers for Win 7:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=235849But when I remove the hard drive, install Windows Vista and later upgrade to Windows 7 If this could be a way to use Vista drivers and Toshiba Software, especially software for function keys. I think that the third-party software should come through Win 7 update.
Some devices are:
Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
Realtek RTL8139/810 x Family Fast Ethernet NIC
ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series graphics card
ENE CB710 Cardbus Controller
Realtek AC97 Audio
TOSHIBA Software Modem (not important)Some software are:
TOSHIBA ConfigFree
Alps Pointing-device Driver
ATI Desktop component
TOSHIBA utilitiesLong ago, I had Satellite M70 that was machine WXP too. It was not supported for Win7 but I installed it to see how it will work. My problem was to find the display driver, but I found somewhere on the net and the machine was OK. I could use it but without specific Toshiba and utility tools.
Unfortunately on this forum we do have enough information about these updates on old machines. I can only say: install it, test it and post comments.

Satellite M30x-165 - rundll 32 exe using 99% CPU
tasks manager told me that rundll 32 exe using 99% of my CPU. (The computer is a M30 X 165) What does that mean? What I have to change that and how do I do this?
Thanks for your help.
AnuraktaHi Anurakta,
Rundll32.exe is a Windows system file, but it can also be associated with the Whisper B virus.
I expect not to be almost all of your central unit using this way. I suggest that you run a full scan on your system.

Satellite M30X-165 only boot from a hard drive possible
Today, I tried to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 but no media like CD/DVD bootable and works of disk removable (USB key).
Notepad only boots from hard drive.
With F12 I have a start menu, but no matter what I select that does not work and Windows XP boots from the hard drive. Later, I changed the boot sequence in the bios, but it does not work.Finally, I did a bios update 1.60 zu 2.00 but I still have the problem.
How can I boot from DVD or USB stick?Try please enter the BIOS and set it to default settings. After doing this, try again please.
Optical disc drive recognized and listed correctly in the BIOS settings?
It works when you use it in Windows?Also try another thing. Put the bootable disc in ODD and shut down your laptop. Reboot and press the C key several times. If I m remembering well this should force ODD as first bootabe.
