• 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 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.

• Re: Satellite C660-28dts over heated and now will not light

  My Toshiba C660-28dts was on and working very well.
  The base was hot and the laptop is off.

  I just assumed it had overheated and cut.
  I left it for more than 24 hours, due I commitments, when I tried to turn it on nothing happened.
  I noticed that when you press the power button the Green LED flashed for a few seconds then went off.

  The fan did not run, the display does not illuminate.
  It's the same thing with the power supply and output cable.

  It does not sound very well.
  It looks like a serious hardware problem.

  In the best case, it's just a problem of RAM module. It would be easy to fix.
  You can replace the RAM modules just to check if it of the case.

  Otherwise, it would be a related problem of motherboard and I guess in this case it s you will need to replace the motherboard.
  The new motherboard is an expensive part, so you have to decide what you want to do

• Satellite P10 switch randomly between battery and AC

  I have a satellite P10 who had some problems of strange power for about a year now.

  My laptop switch to the power of the battery even when it is plugged. I will then either use the computer until the battery runs out and turned it off or Hibernate in until the battery may charge.

  I thought that I had fixed by downloading and installing a new Bios from the toshiba site, which seemed to work for a while, but now it the problem seems to have returned.

  I also bought a new battery and the bar of power, thinking that was the problem... but it does not solve the problem.

  Someone else out there with similar problems, or a method to solve this?
  any thoughts would be great.

  Hi man,

  I had similar problems with my machine, so you can check some things:

  -When the CA is connected, then move him soft in all directions, there are maybe a few micro cracks on the AC connector.
  -try to boot your machine without the battery, your motherboard charging system is may be defective
  -Discover an another AC adapter, maybe the CA is defective

  If you encounter some strange phenomena as power cuts or no charge while you perform this action above, then you have definitely a hardware problem and you will need to contact your local dealer or the service partner for the other instance.

  So I had to do, and it's a faulty motherboard.

  Hope I could give you some ideas.

• Satellite P10-304: the problem writing and erasing CD - RW discs

  Some need help pls. I own a Toshiba satellite P10-304 with a combo player SD-R2412 installed. When I try to burn a new CD - RW, it does ok, but wouldn't allow no other written on the same CD in another session. The written CD - RW is then recognized as a CD-ROM. In addition, it is not possible to erase the cd - rw usinig this player. When I take the cd written for my laptop office of deletion, as it's done with success and my toshiba can then burn again. Any ideas on what to do?

  Additional information: laptop computer came bundled with "drag n dro cd" but I had to install Roxio and even tried the cd writing software provided with windows XP are done everything to nothing. I checked the 'advanced system info-error log' and the report there is 'the device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block'; I don't know what that means.

  Cheers.

  Hello

  In my opinion, it's probably caused by software. In my opinion, you should remove all burning software and verify all burning functions with windows option. After deleting some software, it can happen that, in the registry editor it is a lot of waste that will not be removed completely.

  In any case, delete all the burning software, and you can also try to remove the device from Device Manager DVD. Restart the laptop and DVD should be detected and installed correctly. Try using the option of engraving of Windows and if there is still problem writing once again please.

• Satellite P10 824: card reader SD and IrDA doesn't work

  I have a tosiba Satellite P10 824 a I don't know why I can use Infra red and sd card reader.
  I installed the driver but I do not have nor why I can use.
  When an sd card I can't and I can't send anything via infra red.

  Hello

  Check the Device Manager.
  Are the mentioned devices properly recognized in Device Manager or there is some yellow exclamation points?
  How did you install the operating system? Train the Toshiba Recovery CD or manually? This issue has been published since the first day, or you have installed any 3rd party applications?

  As you can see there are a lot of questions because no one knows what you have done on your laptop. In my opinion the damaged registry entries might be a reason for these issues.

  I think that you should try to remove the SD card reader and Irda device after the Restart Manager again you should auto search devices.
  The drivers have to update and it should be possible to use the devices.

• Problem reading DVD (SD-R6112) on the Satellite P10 804 under Xp Pro SP2

  My Toshiba DVD SD-R6112 (P10-804) now reads no DVD-r it just to burn with Nero 6.6
  The sysmtoms/anamnesis is therefore
  (1) it used to work fine. That is, that I never had a problem with playing on the P10 DVD, that I burned on the P10
  (2) DVDs burned before (before a few weeks ago) on the P10 continues to be readable on the P10
  (3) BUT DVD burned recently (5 or 10 last burned on 2 different types of media and two different burners) can be read in the drive of P10. The DVD is not yet recognized - it sometimes changes shape explorer DVD - RW CD - R, but that's all. No file, no nothing.
  (4) these same (unreadable by P10) DVD is very well played on two other DVD players I have (Freecom USB and divx standalone player). The drive can read the DVD (USB Freecom) CDFS file system reports, no free space (Nero 6.6.0.14 was said to not to allow future sessions) and all appear normal.

  The DVD driver is Microsoft 5.1.2535.0 1/7/2001. The DVD 1031 firmware revision.

  Nero was the only program running when the DVD is burned (no file to add). The verified OK after burning DVD.
  I can't find an update of the firmware on the Toshiba site so I'm a little stuck on what to do next
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  I read in several journals, computer and on some sites that not all drives are compatible with all media. Sometimes, readers cannot read the media burned because of the 3rd party software that prevents access to the media or files.
  Generally, it is not easy to say why some readers read and write media and some readers cannot handle the same media. There are many factors.

  Sometimes, the firmware update will help you resolve problems with reading or writing.
  I found this SD-R6112 page with a driver for this device and the latest firmware version.

• 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 ;)

• Excessive noise is coming from the Satellite P10 804

  Because over the last six months my camera from excessive electrical noise, like a refrigerator / freezer! No idea what this could be and how much it would cost to fix.

  I replaced a disk failed a year ago.
