• Satellite 2210CDT: hardware upgrade

  Hello again! I'll update my Toshiba hadware a little...

  1: 196 MB RAM upgrade - I bought SODIM 128 but How to put inside - do I have to unscrew everything laptop?

  2: upgrade CD DVD: but can give me these details: How is it fixed and the size and what is more important, is - this is possible?

  Thank you for your answers, Paj

  PS. I've read about hd upgrade, what can say you about it?

  Hello

  1. not all computer laptop but enough material should be deleted. First, you must remove the keyboard. After that on the upper right corner, the modem card must be removed. Under the modem is the Ram slot.
  2 disk update is not simply because you can't do that with any player, but the player must be compatible with the system. Sorry, but I don? have info which drive you use. Just Toshiba service partners have this information.

  HARD drive upgrade is the easiest part, and you can do it alone without any problem. The only question is the maximum capacity of the HARD disk that can be properly recognized by the system. I think that 10 or 12 GB should not be a problem, but more than that can be problematic. The ASP also has information about it.

  Good bye

• Hardware upgrade question

  For a few years, I've been running my Creative Suite on a Dell laptop, i5 dual-core 1.8, 8 GB of RAM (maximum), with integrated Intel HD graphics.

  And it works fine, but as you can imagine, it's slow.

  For Christmas, I intend to treat me a new laptop; I have not yet defined a budget.

  I have been informed that the only factor that will make the most difference in the upgrade would be to find one with a video card separate and dedicated RAM, rather than the Intel or similar built-on-the-Board graphic.

  Of course, I'll go for the processor/RAM.etc. most, I may in time, but always compromise must be made.

  According to your experience, focus you your spending on a separate graphics card, or go for still more RAM or processing power?

  EDIT: I'm asking specifically regarding the performance of the Creative Suite programs; This is the only memory-intensive activity that this machine gets.

  If you buy a laptop to edit video, it works fine for everything else

• Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

  Hello everyone!

  I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

  These are my questions...

  (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
  (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

  (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
  How will this affect the battery consumption?

  (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
  When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
  Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
  I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

  can I fix?

  Thanks in advance...

  Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
  In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
  In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

  In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

  What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

• Upgrade memory on Satellite M60

  Hello
  I recently installed Vista Ultimate on my computer Satellite M60 laptop, it is activated and updated, but I think it is out of memory. I have two 512 memory banks and bought two chips of memory of 1 GB crucial to install instead of 512 banks.
  It is, I can find a bank under a cover on the bottom of the laptop, but no others, abouts where is it not located and how do I enter?
  I did a similar upgrade on an older model and have no problem with the work on the machine, but in this case they were both below and easily accessible.

  Hope you can help.

  Russell.

  Hi Russell

  If the two slots of memory are not placed under the memory cover (lower side), one of them is usually placed under the keyboard. To access it, you must remove the plastic placed on the keyboard, and after that the keyboard itself.

• Satellite M60 - issue CPU upgrade

  Hello out there!

  I am a happy owner of a Satellite M60.
  I recently installed Win7 pro and nothing works well.

  I was offered a new processor Intel M770 and
  now, I would like to hear if anyone has any experience changin processor in a laptop.

  The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

  If I swap the processors, my laptop will get faster, or it will explode like a hurricane and disappear into a smokecloud?

  Best regards
  Mogens

  > The M770 have on the same specsas M740 and executes the same 915 chipsets. M770 has a 2.13 Ghz clock and the M740 1.73 revival.

  Well, generally the CPU upgrade is a really complicated because of the compatibility of the BIOS history, but I think you have a good chance to get the laptop working with new CPU M770. It belongs to the same family of CPU as the old CPU and chipsets support is the same.
  In addition, I think that this laptop overheating not using this CPU of course there is more the dissipation of heat thanks to the fastest performance, but I think that the cooling modules should handle this

  Of course, it s just my opinion personal and everything what you would do is at your own risk.

  Good luck

• Upgrading processors with Satellite M60

  Hello
  I own a toshiba satellite m60
  Does anyone know if a processor upgrade is possible?
  I think the core of centrolo solo could be upgraded to centrino duo (first generation of dual core laptop, before core 2 duo)

  Any help?
  Thank you.
  Ludovic

  Hello

  A processor upgrade is not possible, due chipset limitations. I ve tried in my M50 and nothing happened. Machine or boot or anything.

  And the other side is, you will lose your warranty if you´re exchange of database components, because you´re open your machine and with this action, actually void you your warranty.

  See you soon

• Re: Question about extension RAM on Satellite M60

  * Extension of RAM *:
  What type of memory should I buy if I want to prolong 512 MB to * 2 GB * or more for
  * Satellite M60 *-182 under Editon Windows XP with Service Pack 2 home
  I mean: frequency, symbol, producer, etc. to work properly?
  oczkim

  Hello

  your machine can be upgraded to a maximum capacity of 2 GB main memory, which means:

  to extend the memory to the limit of what the machine is capable of, you have to put 2 x 1 GB DDR2-S0DIMM modules with a frequency of 533 Mhz into the two slots of your machine.

  I propose the following brands: Toshiba, Kingston, OCZ

• Satellite M60-169: BSOD appears after upgrade RAM to 1.5 GB

  Hello

  Satellite M60-169 got 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Modules (2x512MB).
  Now, I have installed a new 1 GB DDR2 Samsung 533 MHz RAM-Module (1x1024MB + orig. 1x512mo = 1, 5 GB memory)

  The problem is: the system reboots before you start Windows XP or Windows Vista.
  Reinstaling 2x512MB Modules: everything works fine.
  Reinstall the new 1 GB Module: blue screen and reboot. :(

  I tested the memory modules with memtest86 Boot-CD and all DD2-Modules work and produce no errors.
  Why the new RAM is not compatible with the laptop?

  The specifications of the new 1024 MB of RAM is: Samsung 1 GB 2Rx8 PC2-4200-444-12-E3 M470T2953CZ3-CD5 double sided
  The specifications of the orig. 512 MB of RAM is: double-Samsung 512 MB 2Rx16 PC2-4200-444-12-A3-M470T6554CZ3-CD5

  Very strange! The RAM is like the original equipped with RAM.
  Is this a BIOS problem?
  If I don't just install a single module of 512 MB, the system starts without any problem. Even if I install only a single modulue of the new 1 GB of RAM, the system does not boot to Windows.

  There may be a BIOS Solution for this problem in the future?, now more installed new BIOS (1.60).

  BR Pappl

  Hello

  I don t think the BIOS problem.
  In my opinion, there is a problem with the RAM modules.
  The new module of memory is default or it s just not compatible.

  Perhaps the mix of RAM is the reason for BSOD interruptions.
  Have you tried to use only the new 1 GB module?
  Check it out.

  I have additional checked the Web from Toshiba site Options & accessories and according to the news, you must use this memory module 1 GB:
  1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

• Satellite Pro C660-2I - hardware upgrade

  Hey there, I was wondering if it is possible to update the graphics card, sound card and processor on this laptop? Please tell me you need to know

  Mobile units are no built like desktop computers and these updates is not possible. Hardware upgrade on laptops is very limited and can be done with the RAM and HARD drive.

  If you need machine with more performance is upgraded RAM up and implement faster SSD HARD drive or you need to buy the new laptop.

• Upgrade my satellite M60-169 for Windows7

  Can I put my satellite M60-169 from XP to Windows7?

  Why not?!
  You to do what you want, you can also install Win 7.

  But you will not find the drivers for Windows 7 on Toshiba European page for this series and, therefore, you have to look on some pages of party 3rd compatible drivers!

• Satellite M60-170: Question on partition Express Media Player

  Hello

  I want to install Linux on a Satellite M60-170 (thus transforming part of NTFS partitions in other systems of files) without erasing/reformatting the Partition of Express built-in Media Player.

  I don't see 2 Partitions using Partition Magic 8, predefined Microsoft (NTFS) 37 GB each on the hard drive of 80 GB.
  I read on the forum that the Express Media Player is a T88 204 MB partition system.
  How to see where this partition is located or do you know where it should be?

  (Partition Magic reported an error right after the end of the 1st partition, sector 7815624; the 2nd NTFS(1st extended) begins at the 78156288 sector: I expect that the Express media Player is a 2nd primary partition located between 2 NTFS partitions, but I would be sure.)

  Thank you in advance,
  Bruno

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure, but I think that the Media Express hidden partition is placed at the end of the hard drive.
  I found information that the disk HARD should at least 150-200 MB of free space must be available.
  This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
  To get these free places on party products 3rd HARD drive must be used.

  You should also consult this useful document on the Express Media Player installation.

• Satellite M60 question - does not detect router BTvoyager2100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite M60 I bought in france. The problem I encounter is that it is picking up every local router broadband (4 of them to date) with the exception of my BTvoyager2100 router.

  I have a portable ibm English who picks up and uses the router bt with no problems.
  I used the xp wireless search engine and the radar of toshiba, but it does not find my router.
  does anyone have an idea what the problem is.

  Hello

  The Satellite M60 I bought in Germany has not built in Bluetooth device.
  The Bluetooth drivers are installed in any case, it's very confusing. I was looking on the same problem you do and finally found information that says:
  Computers laptop Toshiba with built in Bluetooth devices have a label at the bottom of the laptop with the Bluetooth brand label on it.
  On my M60 is no such label.
  So I think that the M60 was not built in a Bluetooth device.
  In addition:
  Bluetooth is not listed in the technical specifications of the M60.

• Re: Question about RAM on Satellite M60-135

  Good evening

  SRY for my English in advance ;)

  I intend to increase the RAM of my M60-135 Satellite. On the home page, I found two corresponding modules.
  One is PA3411U-2M1G and the other is PA3411S-2M1G. The descriptions for the two modules are exactly the same (1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2-) 4300 DDR2 (533 MHz).

  Can someone tell what is the difference between them?

  Thank you very much for your answers. :)

  Always it is that you should be able to use all modules of memory manufacturers of different modules that supports the specifications on the right;
  The Satellite M60-135 supports the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM memory modules.
