Satellite P200 mainboard and HARD drive problem

Hiya,

I had my Satallite Pro for only 3 years.
During the past year I had problems with the HARD drive and at one point broke and I had it replaced, it worked for about 2 months and who broke. I got another HARD drive, and now it has broken.

I took it to a repair shop independent who say it could be a problem with the motherboard or the Starter connections, or perhaps love to him. ???

I rang toshiba and I didn't have only a years warranty, so my main questions are:

(1) how much approximately will it take to get fixed

(2) is it useful

(3) is it successful.

I'm not sure to get if fixed at 100% I know I can't afford a new to the same specification as that time.

Any help or advice will be approciated.

Hi mate

To be honest, a motherboard is a laptop computer cheap party.
If it of really a motherboard problem and if you have to replace the motherboard to solve this problem, then you must know that this could really be a costly affair

I'm not quite sure how a new motherboard might be, but I think that you will have spent about 300-350 Euros
That s a lot of money so it s your own decision of what's best for you. buy a new laptop or pay for a fix.

If I was you I'll sell this laptop and would like to buy a new unit.

  • Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

    In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

    I have just restart and continue working.
    The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

    When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

    Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

    > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

    It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

    > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

    Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

    > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
    You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

    > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

    I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

  • Satellite A100 - memory and hard drive upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I have a Satellite A100-158 of the model code PSAA9E-01700VPT. It came with a 80 GB HDD at 5400 RPM S.M.A.R.T. and 1 GB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz).

    I think that my computer slows to a crawl because maybe I thought the hard drive being old and low memory for recent programs and therefore upgrade the hard drive and memory.

    A Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB 2.5 inch would fit? According to them, it's running at 7200 RPM with the energy consumption of a drive 5400 RPM (marketing simply bad maybe).

    And a memory card Kingston 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz working? It has a higher frequency than my current ram, but then I guess he can withdraw maximum permitted by the motherboard? I guess that's 533 Mhz as my module memory factory. I can also buy a module 2 GB of the same manufacturer exact DDR 2 as well but 667 MHz instead... still higher than my current memory module.

    Thanks much for the tips... I hope that this will bring my A100 more in standards without going to a new laptop :)

    Hello

    Generally, a HARD drive with more RPM isn't a problem, but he needs a little more power and product more heat, but it should work.
    It s based on your application that you are running. For normal use, 5400 RPM should be ok.

    The modules of RAM with higher specifications are also no problem because it s downgrade compatible for lower speed (533 MHz).
    Kingston is always recommendable, I've never had a problem with these modules. :)

  • Re: Satellite Pro P100 of hard drive problem.

    Hello

    Uh, to sum up my problem, a vital file... or two, has been deleted by a rather malicious Trojan horse, I had a week or two it y a. I had cleaned it the command registry and such and everything was fine. Until I tried a disc to my hard drive... The unit seems to recognize that there is a disc in there and I checked because nothing "seems to" be physically wrong with it. He won't read it. So my question, is there a link to download or something or another or not, that could lead me to a place where I could safely re - download the drive of files for the Pro P100.

    And yah... I have no experience of the computer, or similar, so I just ask a pretty silly question. xD

    Hello

    If the problem is Windows related, you should be able start from the CD or DVD without any problem. So I recommend this audit with the recovery disk or other bootable disk.

    If you can't start t with him, the drive is may be defective or the lens needs to be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth.

    Good luck!

  • On the Satellite Pro A 60 hard drive problems

    Hello.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 with a hard disk of 40 gigabites origin. When I tried to change the old disk with a disk travels Digital Scorpio blue hard 80 gigabites, the does'nt of the bios recognizes it. Is there a solution?

    Hallo Haziz

    If you swap the HARD drive IDE HDD compatible and of course not defective it must be recognized correctly.
    Please do not expect solution to this if you didn't inform us a HARD drive replacement.

    Is - this brand new HARD drive?
    You can then Exchange disk HARD BIOS to the default settings and check again the value.

  • Pavilion p6110t CTO Desktop: drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HARD drive problems

    Recently, I had the hard drive with my OS failure. After replacing the hard drive and reinstall windows server 2008, I seem to have encountered some problems with drivers.  After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that not have installed correctly. I could get the driver for the LAN port to work, but I did not get the driver to "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus controller". After a little research, I believe that the graphics card is a Radeon HD4350. With this information, I still have been unable to toinstlal the correct drivers or the other of these elements. I tried several drivers listed on the support page of the drivers on the HP website, but all fo return them the same error of not finding the right operating system. The link to the driver, I used initially on my previous installation seems is no longer valid.

    Also, I can't access two additoinal hard disks (sata connected). They were used with the previous installation of windows without any problem. They appear in the Device Manager but do not show in my computer. A removable disk appears that I don't know what it is. Previously I used the software to mirror one of the disks on the other in order to avoid the loss of data if a disk fails. Is one of the above players with not be able to access the drives causing the problem or the software used before the problem?

    Any help on these questions is greatly appreciated.

    Ok.

    I can't help you with the readers then.  It is out of my area of knowledge.  If they are healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that's all that I know these should be reported.

    As for the graphics drivers...

    Download and install this free utility for files.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    After installing 7 - zip, right-click on the graphic driver file and select 7 - zip from the list of options.

    Choose 7-zip to extract to: and leave it to unzip the file in a folder.  I have it extracted the file name of the file.

    Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.

    Of course that you you first go to where 7 - zip extract the folder and continue from there.

    Thank you very much.

    Looking at brochures, other models P200 can take 200 GB HARD drive, 320 GB * should * work, but don't take my word for it. There could be a compatibility issue.

    You can install 64-bit Vista, check for drivers 64-bit here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  • Update satellite 1640 CDT and HARD drive

    have a Tosh 1640CDT, with 6 GB of disk - how to spend it, and what size max that will support the bios, I also modernize OS at Millenium MS for the bigger drive HARD technical support - also how to install the new drive?

    Hello

    I put t know exactly the maximum HDD capacity that your device can handle with but I think 10 or 12 GB should be recognized correctly. In my opinion you should not expect that you can use the HARD disk with a capacity more high anyway the unit is about 6 years old.

  • Satellite P750 - 10 c: HARD drive slows down - Sandy Bridge Cougar problem?

    Hello

    I have problem with my notebook Satellite P750 - 10 c with S/N: 4B478828K.
    When I enabled AHCI in the BIOS, computer slows diametrically, day after day was worste and worste, so I tried to change from AHCI to IDE and it helped a little, but is still not good.

    I tried to restore my system, but it did not help.
    I read that Intel has released a version tapped for Sandy Bridge chipset, I have (HM65) SATA 3Gbs problem (I just checked in HD Tune and HARD drive is connected to the port of 3Gbs), so I think I got bugged version.

    My laptop is not guaranteed, but Intel said they changed valid version, so where do I return my phone to fix.

    Kind regards
    Tomek

    > I read that Intel launched buggy version of the chipset for Sandy Bridge.
    The problem was a Cougar Point of Sandy Bridge chipset and not the main processor Sandy Bridge.

    In addition Intel said that this issue affected only the SATA 2 to 5 and not ports 0 and 1.
    Most laptops use only two devices SATA (HDD/SSD and ODD) using the affected ports 0 and 1.
    That is why I think that your problem could be linked to the issue of Cougar Point the Sandy Bridge chipset.

    By the way: not all Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets have been affected.

    Regarding your question:
    Usually if AHCI is enabled, the HARD drive must use the performance of SATA. If compatibility mode, the HARD drive would go at the speed of the IDE.
    I think your problem is perhaps related to the problem drive HARD and not Intel problem.

  • Satellite C660 - compatibility between motherboard and hard drive internal

    Hi, I have a problem with the compatibility between the internal (1 terabyte) hard drive and installing windows 7 pro.
    I broke my old internal hard drive (320 GB) and I bought the new hd (1 tb), but during the installation it says that w7 cannot be installed on this new hard drive.

    Can my pc motherboard (serial number: 3B071014k) support the new hard drive (serial number: wd10jpvx)?
    and if the answer is 'yes', how can I make it work?

    First of all the question has nothing to do with the motherboard and HARD drive compatibility.
    If the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS (first page), the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS and HARD disk controller.
    In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized, you will need to replace this HARD drive with another. I guess the smaller size of the 2.5 SATA HDD THAT would be taken in charge (500 GB)

    However, in case the HARD disk is visible in the BIOS, you should be able to install Windows 7.
    Before starting the installation, you must format the HARD drive and should create the system partition.
    For this procedure, I recommend to use some tools such as partitions for example: GParted
    GParted is a freeware Linux tool.
    You can create a bootable USB key in order to start the device using GParted:
    http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/LiveCD.php

    Then, you should be able to format the HARD disk and create partitions.

  • Satellite L70-A-139 - guaranteed zero when removing the cover for the RAM and HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L70-A-139 youcef.
    And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

    Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?
    I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD.
    The motherboard supports Sata III: D.

    Thank you!

    No, the mandate must still be valid.
    There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

  • Satellite A50: Question about type RAM and HARD drive

    Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
    All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

    Here is all the information I found.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - HARD drive stops and the computer crashes

    Hello

    It's my first post in this forum, but certainly not my first issue

    I recently had to re - install Windows Vista on my laptop because I had an undetectable virus that attacked Windows and made him useless.
    Before that, I had many, many startup errors and windows crashes, but which were preventable or fixable. After the re - install, I noticed that windows stability was much better until recently.

    I have not changed the settings or anything what so ever on my computer laptop which could affect the performance somehow, but I have a new problem.

    If I have my computer running, performing tasks of base for a few hours I notice that performance and all of a sudden my computer completely stops responding.
    The disk shows no signs of life after this point, and his only solution is a "disruptive Shutdown.
    This appears in the reliability monitor and performance that all this, there is no input error, and nothing is done after.

    I also noticed if either windows defender or other my antivirus runs a system scan that my performance is reduced to the point where I can't run a simple task like opening an Explorer window. This also translates to total non-response. This never happened before a week ago and now it happens every time.

    These two started within the past few days and there is no clear reasoning behind it. My inactivity of the processor is always the same, no new processors added and no settings changed.

    This could be a problem with Windows, my HARD drive, my CPU or something worse?

    Is there a reason why is happening and is there a solution either of these problems?

    First of all, you reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?

    It's strange and not easy to say what's wrong, but in your case I would test the RAM and HARD drive.

    There are special tools to test the following:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    http://Memtest86.com/

    On the two Web site, you can download a CD image. Burn it to a CD, start with him and then you can test parts.

    Good luck!
