• Satellite P30 - 133 - internal screen is empty

  Hello everyone.

  I have a satellite P30-133 with a white screen, everything works fine.

  When I plug it into my computer screen but the laptop screen remains empty, any ideas?

  Thanks in advance. Steve.

  Press FN + F5 to switch between monitors.
  Check if you have the same problem on startup and in the BIOS.

  In the worst cases, you should go to a local ASP. Technicians must check your parts for laptop and trade if it of necessary.

• Satellite P30 133 blocks due to overheating

  I have a P30-133 which overheats and crashes regularly. It will not work on a flat surface, it must be away from any surface to give fans a chance to cool enough. Is this a known issue with the P30-133 and, if so, is it possible to solve?

  I also notice that my battery not upward. These problems could be related?

  Hello

  I don't want to speculate on known issues, but what I know is that Satellite P30 is very old model of laptop. It takes about 6 years. If your laptop has never been cleaned, I imagine that the cooling system is full of dust.

  I phone 4 years old and I already cleaned 2 times. You can't imagine how many dust I found inside.
  I can imagine, is that, after so long time, the small rubber feet down are slim now and there is not enough space between you laptop and the desktop. What I do is to rehabilitate the part of the laptop to two boxes of music CD and then there is more space and portable can be cooled a lot better.

  Think about these two things. Maybe it will help you.

• Satellite P30-133: where can I find the drivers?

  Hello
  I lost my recovery discs, so I installed windows, is one know where I can find all the drivers to download? I find all the other models but not mine? also, anyone know how much it costs to buy the new recovery disc?

  Thank you

  Hello

  See this page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  You will find drivers for Satellite P30. Also check the instructions for installation on this page, because it is very important that you install Toshiba stuff in the right order.

  I don't know how much cost recovery fees, but I'm sure that's not very expensive and you can order from the Toshiba service partner in your country.

• Can satellite P30-133 - I use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro?

  Hello

  Is it safe to use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro model P30-133? There is some question in aluminium.
  I'm not sure of the cooler which is set up as a standard in this model. Aluminium coolers are not suitable.

  Hello!

  I doubt that ASP uses the cheapest stuff on the market. I think they use the same thermal grease like Toshiba and it is pretested. I never had problems with the cooling on my Toshiba laptop. The fan only works if the CPU is in use, but that's normal, because otherwise the laptop is overheating.

  Anyway, Coollaboratory Liquid Pro is theoretically 9 times better as other thermal grease, but in practice, it of only up to 5 ° C better. In addition it can t be used on aluminum coolers.
  The Arctic Cooling MX2 and it's a little better than the Arctic Silver 5. In addition it of cheaper and easier to use and remove. I also use it.
  Check it! You will be surprised of the Arctic Cooling MX2.

• Update on the Satellite P30-133 hard drive

  Hello
  I own a P133 Satellite with a 80 GB HARD drive and I would like to replace the HARD drive.

  1. How do I "safely" take it out?
  2. how GB support Satellite
  3. likely to be mounted a Toshiba no? 99% of Yes, but sometimes producers are naughty and try to get you to buy what they want and therefore lost a customer!

  Can anyone help with these questions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First a question; You really a P133 Satellite?
  This laptop is not known to me and I don t I think this series exists.

  I saw your other thread and it seems that you have a Satellite P30. Am I wrong?

  OK I'll try to give some info on the P30.

  (1) the location of the HARD drive is located at the bottom of the unit. You must turn the computer. Remove the two black screws to release the HARD drive door. Pull the tab to remove the HARD drive unit. Remove the HDD Enclosure HARD drive. Note: after the removal of the portable computer HARD drive you need to remove also the brackets that are piling up on both sides of the HARD drive.

  (2) you can use the 2.5 ", 9.5 mm HDD with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB/80/100 GB / 120 GB. The HARD drive should support the Bus Master IDE and 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

  (3) as far as I know you can use HDD from different vendors, but hardware specifications must be supported (see point 2 :)))

• Stops intermittently, then slowly gets worse - Satellite P30 133

  Hello
  Since I bought this laptop in May 2005, he was always a problem of closing suddenly, and I'm still on the sector!

  I did set it as high power and keep the CPU at 3/4, as well - this way the fans work best and the CPU do not overheat.

  That has been resolved.
  Then it begins again (very rarely) without apparent reason.

  I continue to 'all' of my computers updated (drivers included) and lately, when I started to make a disc HARD 'cloning' upward (to aid
  Acronis) it starts back up and after a few minutes it stops. NOTE: I have done this since nearly 2005 with no.
  problems and I have installed the latest update (Acronis), to try to resolve the problem.

  The problem is the laptop, I use this program with other computers with no problems at all.
  Sometimes worked/sometimes not.

  Lately (in recent weeks) he started to do it more often and I thought that the ext. HDD was gone (I don't believe it!) and I
  replace the ext. (New) by another HDD, I had.
  It worked very well. Then, the next time it does exactly the same thing (strangely, the other HARD drive seems recognized intermittently by)
  Windows (I have connected directly using an IDE/USB cable).

  This isn't the end.

  In recent days, I had this lapto stopping according to his good pleasure.
  This morning, I turned on and after a few minutes, I found this out! -Please note that I too have a new battery.
  Now, it starts, and as soon as she has finished loading windows it stops.
  I disconnected external devices and still the same - there is no problem with the drivers.

  The other day, when he stopped and I rebooted, windows told me that he had a problem with the Audio driver I have
  installed by using the link provided.

  Apart from that, I am completely in the S *.
  No help, no idea.

  Battery and power supply are new and functional very well!
  Instead of spending money (I didn't) on insurance which is a shambles and never used (!), I could have bought a Mac.

  You can be very good with computers these days, but they are "mostly" worthy and all your efforts to keep them well - do
  all your backups etc. are of no use and I am a person tidy by nature! What can we do? Use my old 386 or 486 - both still
  well after 20 years of work?
  I don't have a back facing upwards and I use it for business too.

  Hello

  First of all it s very sad story and I understand your frustration
  It of always awkward and painful if a laptop or a computer desctop don t run as it should.
  Sometimes I wish that we would live ;) in the world of free software

  However, you deliver.
  The close automatically and low suddenly may be related to problems of overheating.
  I found that your P30 runnig for 2 years, so during this period the dust and debris could prevent cooling properly running modules.

  Usually fans and fans of cleaning should improve the situation, and it helps to solve this problem. In addition, should be added the new thermal grease which is placed between the CPU and the cooling plate. This allows to absorb the heat generated by the CPU.

  I put t know if you have enough experience to do something like that. So I recommend you to contact a technician of the laptop to help her.

  PS: This is a user forum and you will encounter only Toshiba users who are trying to help other users. so I think that you shouldn't t expect any direct response from any people Toshiba ;)

  Best regards and good luck

• Satellite P30-133 CD/DVD not recognized in Win XP

  A few months ago that the CD/DVD drive disappeared from windows XP home SP2
  It is visible in the list of the BIOS boot, but I'm not sure if it turns elsewhere in the bios.

  The BIOS also seems to be ad slowly started upward. I have reset the BIOS to default settings and the player was available for long enough to reinstall windows. Resttting the deafault BIOS does not work every time. Everything is now on the machine is a new installation of windows and the drive is not visible. Light on the DVD/CD drive flashes on startup every time, but it will not read a bootable disc.

  The disc was found in another machine and works fine. What is a BIOS problem or a motherboard problem.
  I am reluctant to spend huge sums of money on this laptop, as he already had a new motherboard a couple of years.

  Any help or advice appreciated.
  This isn't a problem that will be solved by the registry hack 'filter '.

  Have you tried a BIOS update?

  You reinstall Windows using the recovery disk? Or have you installed Street copy of XP?

  Try to boot from a Bootable CD, if it does not, then the motherboard may be faulty, or the drive has intermittent problems.

• Connected same drain battery adapter - Satellite P30 133

  You just bought a used machine but the battery seems to flow even when the adapter connected (and turned on!). Battery, adapter or another problem?

  It is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but I imagine that the battery must be exchanged. That's always the problem with used laptops, because you never know how the previous owner has used the laptop and the battery.

• P30-133 video driver

  Hello

  I tried Half Life 2 play today on my Satellite P30-133 and received the message:
  "Outdated video driver. Your video card driver is obsolete and might cause problems if you continue to run the game. We strongly recommend that you follow the link below and update your video drivers to the latest version of the driver provider.

  Your driver details:
  Description: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 SERIES
  "Version: 6.14.10.6458.

  However, the link is on the ATI site, and I understand with the laptops that I should only download drivers of Toshiba video card. I was wondering if new drivers are available, and if so, where could I get in?

  Thank you very much

  Hi Geoff,

  Do not know what operating system you have, but the Toshiba Europe website the list display pilot 8.033 for your model of laptop computer with an ATI graphics card.

• Satellite P30: Battery appears to disconnect from supply electricity

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P30-133 laptop computer, and the problem I have is that sometimes it seems as if the laptop does not work / connected to the battery. The battery indicator can say 70% etc, then it may stop abruptly. Or if I remove the power she sometimes stops immediately. Other times he fully run without a problem. Its as if the connection from the laptop to the battery intermittently has problems.

  Has anyone encountered a similar problem before?

  Hello

  You suggest that laptop you can not stop using the battery.
  Am I wrong?
  Well, very strange. I don't know if this problem occurs due to software or hardware m malfunction. It's not easy to say.
  Have you tried to recover the operating system? If this isn't the case, so I recommend to do. (don t forget the backup) Don t install any 3rd party applications.
  Then you can test your laptop if the problem occurs.
  If this doesn t matter persists so I guess it's a malfunction of the software. But if it happens again, so there must be something wrong with the hardware. Maybe the power supply electronic problem.

• Satellite A300D-17F runs slower than expected

  Satellite A300D-17 F

  Hi friends

  Since I bought this machine, I am not happy.
  There is a problem: he works so slow than other laptops and they have inferior properties.
  I don't understand.

  I almost have to break. I've done all the tips (uninstall tempro, stop the backround programs, program viruses... etc) but it's the same.
  -J' I want to listen to an mp3 that is not open for ten seconds, watch the movie it is not open again for 9 to 10 seconds.
  -i wana to connect to a site web it freezes
  -for example the search for Messenger is taking once again for secondssssss
  -implementation of xp, it is hourssss
  but the machines of my friends who have inferior properties are so fast

  Is there someone has this machines? It has the same problems? or only I have these problems?

  Thank you very much right now.

  Hi mate

  > Configuration of xp, it is hourssss
  This means that you have tested the laptop under Win XP?

  How did you install the Win XP? Have you installed using AHCI mode (in BIOS) or you switch to compatible mode?

  By using the compatibility mode that HARD drive could run slower and this could affect the performance of the operating system.

  Solution: You must install the Win XP in AHCI mode. I think the laptop supports the AMD chipset and the required drivers are therefore part of the ATI graphics chip.
  Download the graphics driver, choose the drivers SATA and include it in the Win XP disc using nLite application. nLite is free and all details can be found in the internet.

• After getting my A200 Satellite games run slower

  I have a laptop Satellite A200 - 14 d with Vista (32) that came pre-installed. I had to format and use the product recovery DVD for vista reinstalled with all the drivers.

  The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card, which now she either. Also games run slower. Until the format in the Device Manager to display adapters there were 2 things. The pilot who has reinstalled successfully and something else I don't remember what it was and who does not also install after the recovery of the product operation...

  Then. can someone tell me which software I can use to improve the performance of my 7300 GO game?...

  Hello

  > The problem is: before formatting, according to me, there was another application installed for the video card that now he not more
  Do you think that it was preinstalled or are you 100% sure?

  Believe me, the same operating system and the software that was preinstalled on your laptop is on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  The software is the same.
  So if you want to define the notebook to factory setting you should use the recovery CD ;)

  Is that all the games work more slow on Vista. This OS feeds more resources than XP.
  So if you want to play games faster I advise to use XP
