Satellite P10 804: HARD drive question SMART WARNING

Similar Questions

• Re: Satellite P10 304 - hard drive compatibility

  Hello

  My original hard drive is dead and I find it very difficult to get information on the internal hard disks will be compatible replacements, especially that Toshiba offers no sales through this site.

  The old disk seems to be IDE (or EIDE). An ATA100 drive would be compatible? PATA?

  Thanks for any information.

  This forum offers numerous useful threads on the upgrade of the disk on the Satellite P10.

  But here's my suggestion;
  The laptop uses a 60 GB 4200 RPM IDE (ATA-5) (Ultra-ATA/66)
  The controller uses ATA - 5, and in my opinion for example disk HARD ATA - 6 (Ultra-ATA/100) will work too, but perhaps not with 100% performance.

  Good bye

• Satellite P10 804: how to remove the HARD drive?

  I would like to remove the internal hard disk of 60 GB of my satellite P10 804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot find a way to enter in the case of removing the HARD drive.

  Does anyone have the details on how to do?

  Hello

  To my knowledge, the HARD drive must be placed under the optical dirve.
  To remove the HARD drive, first remove the battery and the optical drive, and then follow the steps below:

  1. remove the four black screws that anchor the shield of aluminum covering the HARD drive and pull it out.
  2. gently pull on the HARD drive the front panel of the computer to disconnect the system board, then pull it out.
  3. remove the four silver screws that attach the HARD drive to the HARD disk case.

  But be careful. If you have no experience ask someone with more experience in these replacements.

• Satellite P10 804: cannot use the day before and the FN keys / hibernation

  Hello

  May I ask why you n t use the recovery CD Toshiba to restore the operating system on the P10 Sat?
  Simply boot from the restore CD from Toshiba that came with the laptop. This CD contains the Windows operating system with all the drivers and tools pre-installed.

  The installation process takes about 10 minutes. It of very simple but please note that this new facility will format the HARD drive.

• Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

  Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

  In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

  Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

  The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

  Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

  Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

  1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

  The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

  Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

  Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

  The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

  So it must be a module problem

• Satellite P10 804 upgrading wireless card

  Hello

  Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10 804 but can't find.

  The wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC, but it does not have the standard 802.11 G and no WPA security.

  Anyone know of the good cards replacement that will work on my laptop?

  Ive met this one but I'm not sure if it's compatible or not because I can't find any compatibility for it info: PA3416U-1MPC

  Thank you

  Mark

  Hello

  I think that the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
  I mean the laptop supports wireless Mini-PCI network card and PA3416U-1MPC is a Mini-PCI wireless network card.

  The WLan antenna behind the screen of the laptop computers must be connected to the connectors on the wireless Mini-PCI network card.
  Both connectors are identified with MAIN and auxiliary normally a white cable goes to the ESSENTIAL and a black at the entrance to THE

• How to make a wireless upgrade on Satellite P10 804 card

  I have a satellite P10 804 and it has a 802. 11B wireless card built (only part no PA3171U-1MPC). It's too slow to stream multimedia from my office. My router has capacity G + and I would like to update my wireless card to be somewhere near the same speed. The upgragdeable of cards is integrated (easily)? If so, is the PA3374U-1MPC card compatible? and how can I change?
  Thank you
  Shaun

  Hello

  Yes, surely. You can improve it, but you should not use original toshiba parts. You can enter a Wi - Fi card with the standard of g on ebay for example and install it yourself. the wireless LAN card must be placed on the bottom of your machine behind a cover that is fixed with a screw.

  I suggest, if you plan to buy a new one, take an atheros card because they are affordable, they are stable cards and chipsets quality is very good (send/receive/you connecting to a network) If you can´t do something wrong with an atheros chipset.

• Satellite 1130-z24: upgrade hard drive question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba Satellite 1130 - z24, which requires a new hard drive, the old man is a MK2108GAP of 20 GB but I want to set up a larger capacity drive. What is the record of the maximum size that I can use without any problems of compatibility?

  One of the following players would work?

  MK6034GAX 60 GB
  MK8026GAX 80 GB
  100 GB MK1032GAX

  I searched on various forums and websites, but the only information I can find is that the BIOS will not support the discs above a certain size, but I don't know how it is.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hello

  I think that good old classic supports IDE controller.

  The IDE controller manages max 128 GB HDD due to support of the 28-bit LBA.

  So in your case, I would recommend choosing a HARD disk that is not longer than 120GB
  so, theoretically the 100 GB MK1032GAX should be compatible

• Satellite P10-804 - Question on new install

  I am wanting to do a clean install on the old Satellite P10 [2004], but I'm a little worried about the updates that I'll have to do.
  In my view, that he could run in the hundreds.

  All Tips how do appreciated.

  Hello

  You can install the Windows operating system on your laptop and need to install the drivers of P10 separately
  The drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  Of course, you need to update the Win for the last state operating system but it should run automatically, you can drink a coffee and wait ;)

• Satellite L670D Simple Drive external HARD drive question

  OS Windows 7 Home. Preload by Toshiba.

  Have a Toshiba simpledrive 1 T. When plugged into the USB hardrive are rewritten with shortcuts. Hard drive in Explorer properties shows data from correct volume on the disk, but I don't have access to the drive. Shortcuts anywhere.

  Disk formatted with laptop and work very well, but can not eject. Whenever I want to eject the disc, it is being used by another program. Cannot find the program using Xdrive. Once the X drive is off and then turn it back on shortcuts will be displayed again. Do not have the same problem with Xdrive on my PC - OS Win 7 Pro - works fine.

  I've updated to Toshiba laptop drivers, Bios etc. Also updated Windows still no go. It must be a problem with laptop, but I seem to not be able to solve it.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hello

  Hmm, try connecting the HARD drive to the computer before booting the operating system Win.
  Also, check if the software Xdrive isn't blocked by any other security software (antivirus, firewall tool, etc.).
  I also recommend checking the power management of the Win 7 on your laptop. Check if the USP ports are not configured to save energy.

• Satellite A300-1IW: HARD drive access light blinks every second

  Hello everyone, and sorry for the English, I'm french :)

  I bought a Satellite A300-1IW a few days and suddenly (don't remember exactly when) early light access HARD drive blinks every second and it continues even after several reboots!

  It does so only with Vista; I checked the disk with 'diskmon' activity and I saw that even if it was * no. * disk * written * or * reading * the led continues flashing, so I think that it is not bound to certain services of vista (superfetch, indexing...)

  A similar problem, I saw on a Microsoft support, but it was under windows 98 and with old motherborads!
  See: link: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/138598]

  So it seems that it is related to level Vista SCSI or DVD...

  I have now is not critical, but it's annoying to have this led flashes all the time

  You have an idea? Don't you think that it could be related to bios? I want to be sure before touching it, because it is always tricky.

  Thanks for your help

  In my opinion, nobody can offer no comment because you already gave the answer. There is nothing unusual and certainly no reason to panic.

  What do about it? What you want to do? Sorry, but this is a really stupid question. I can just offer you a stupid answer. ;) Take black tape and curl up the LED. ;)

• Satellite P25-S507 - HARD drive replacement

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S507, which more is under warranty and has begun to report S.M.A.R.T. errors.

  SmartMonitor reports a lot of questions especially marked as old age so I need to replace the disk. I was wondering if I can replace it with any standard 2.5 "ATA as an ATA-100 player. as the disk of 60 GB specification is ATA - 5.

  Any help appreciated.

  Maybe no one has replaced the HARD drive on this laptop because it s Autric series and is a European forum of Toshiba, and most of us have European workbooks

  But the P25 is very similar to the P20 series.
  The P20 supports an improved IDE (ATA-5) interface.

  Then you should be able to use IDE hard drives.

  If you want to use a faster disk (ATA-6 or later), then possibly the controller would have only allows the performance of ATA-5;
  ATA - 5 = Ultra DMA 66 = 4, = 6 MB/s UDMA-66 ;)

• Satellite A300-1EG - hard drive carrier

  Hello.

  I have this laptop--> http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-products/satellite-a300-1eg/

  I would buy the new hard drive, specifically this one--> http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/937740-REG/seagate_st1000lm014_hybrid_1tb_2_5_sata.html

  My question is, will it work? Laptop is old enough, I don't know if it supports this capability and/or additional 8 GB SSD.

  Satellite A300 is old but very good machine. I got it a few years ago. In general there is no list some specific with all hard drives supported and compatibility information can give you just someone who has the same machine and use it with an identical hard drive.

  In my opinion, you can upgrade your machine with this drive and I'm pretty sure that in combination with Windows 7 it works perfectly.

  I don't know what is most important to you: spatial ability or portable s performance, but if your laptop supports the option with two hard drives, I recommend to buy SSD and use it as a hard drive main and old original HD, you can use it as a second drive (if possible) and, of course, for the storage of data only.

  I have this hardware configuration on my Satellite P500.
