• Satellite U405D - several questions about overheating/disassembly/upgrading etc.

  Hello

  I have several questions about my old one by Satellite U405D-S2910

  1. when it works, after 2-3 hours (I run usually small programs such as safari, msn messenger and bsplayer) CPU gets 85 to 90 C (178-188). When I play age of Empires 2 (come on, its an old game) like 2-3 hours, it stops. What could be the possible reason? Furthermore, let me inform you about the climate of the city I live, 30 c temperature - humidity 25-35% (today).
  PS. CPU is AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual-Core Mobile Processor. Model RM-74

  2. I'm going to disassemble my laptop in order to clean its cooling units (I think at the rate of overheating is this). It does seem like a desktop computer, so complicated. Ive seen a disassembly not to not (btw, its so difficult to spell dismantling :) I think Im going to do this. What are your suggestions on this subject? experiences could help me?

  3. my laptops is Ram 2x2gb PC5300 DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM memory, I want to replace RAM memory 2x2gb MACH XTREME DDR2 1333 MHZ CL9 NOTEBOOK. Should I do it? Fit my portable, stable work? any suggestions?
  PS. motherboard chipset AMD M780V

  4 - Finally :), should I use OS 64 - bit or 32-bit OS (win7)? what OS would you use if you were me?

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  1 + 2. I think everything is related to a higher internal temperature and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. That is why it s not necessary to remove, just blow softly and soon the air through the laptop. You can buy such compressed air which squirts of each computer store I think and it takes only 5 minutes.
  You can find a useful article about this here:

  3. in my opinion he should forget this update! The speed of the RAM is related to the FSB of the CPU and as much as I know about Satellite U405D it s 667 MHz so it s already the RAM faster than you can have. Save your money and buy a larger HARD drive or in the best case a SSD that can really improve the performance!

  4. in my view, the answer is clear: Windows 7 64-bit.
  Only a 64-bit OS supports full 4 GB of RAM. ;)

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Satellite 4090CDS: Question about the compatibility of the CD-ROM

  Hello

  I found a CD player in ebay, but I don't know if his
  compatible with my laptop (Satellite 4090CDS) or not. It is compatible with some of the similar latops as 4080XCDT and 4090XDVD.
  I asked the salesman, but he's not either.
  Here's the link to the article I think would compatible.original lecteur_CD is TEAC CD-224th

  How can I make sure?

  Thank you very much
  Arash.

  Hello

  In my own opinion, so the reader is compatible with 4090XDVD it should be also compatible with the 4090CDS Satellite.
  But if you want to be sure if this unit is compatible and supported at 100%, then ask the certified partner Toshiba. I m it can give you a good answer

• Question about the compatibility of the drivers Win XP for Satellite L40 - 12 K PSL4E

  When you try to change my laptop from Vista to XP I don't find the drivers.

  However I found the driver for the same model, but PSL48, 49, 4B and 4 c. Could someone confirm that these drivers also work with my laptop PSL4E? Thank you/rgds. Sonia

  In general, you can install these drivers, BUT you should also check the chip chart and other devices like for example the wireless network card.
  Many laptops are equipped with different graphic chip or other card WLan so in this case you should pay attention to these differences.

• Question about the compatibility of the system surround (5.1/2.1) on M40

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite M40 (do not remember exactly that one) and I was thinking about buying a surround system. However, I heard that most laptops support 5.1 surround but 2.1 instead. Insofar as I understand that this has something to do with the lack of an optical connector but maybe I'm wrong.
  So my question is, does anyone know if I can connect a 5.1 surround for my M40? If not, is the 2.1 system much better than the onboard speakers surround? Is there maybe the possibility to connect a 5.1 surround if you buy an external sound card (connected to an extension connector)?

  Thanks for your help in advance,
  Antonakis

• Satellite P200D-128 - Question about installed Norton anti-virus

  Hi, I bought a Toshiba Satellite P200D-128 last week and to say I'm majorly annoyed with Toshiba would be an understatement, and that understatement. Fine machine autoinstalled as its operating system, and I found I had Norton anti-virus installed, or at least I thought I had because a beautiful Norton logo quicklink arrived on my desk.

  In fact, only a partial shell of Norton installed and actually have an anti-virus properly functioning to connect on the site of Norton. This arrangement is just stupid, because I am well aware, surf the Internet without effective antivirus / anti-malware is not a question of if the computer will get infected, but when the computer will be infected.
  I have the experience to build my own desktop PC, and basically what I do is install an anti-virus package from the DVD drive with a front disc even connect the machine to the internet and then update the anti-virus software anti-virus Internet home before that I would all navigation on the web.

  Not only have a Norton Quicklink on the center of office crazy to think one has a functioning entirely anti-virus / anti-malware installed, but the partial shell of fools Norton also Windows Vista security in thinking there are a lot of anti-virus installed and it also disables the alert windows system that will remind the user of the computer if there is no antivirus installed package.

  This situation should never have been raised and I think it's a shame. Also criminal elements no doubt major behind the likes of malware, which struck upward on the ploy clever to have infected unsuspecting computer user with malicious software, which uses then the malware to put up a false messages of Windows operating system, which informs the user of the computer has been infected and asking them to download a fake anti-virus packages , must be particularly delighted with this situation, in that a user will be once they see such a message may well click the link of Norton and probably find their Norton is only a partial shell and then install one of the packages most likely fake anti-virus.

  If Toshiba and Norton had deliberately set to infect the computers of users with viruses and other malware, it is difficult to see how they could have done a better job of it, unless they had pre-installed viruses and malware themselves on the computer.
  I wonder, this case went to Toshiba and/or / attention of Norton and if so, what they had to say for themselves?

  Concerning the best and warm
  Adrian Wainer

  PS I forgot to mention that the partial shell package Norton also implements a toolbar in their browser, which reinforces even more the (false) impression that we have a fully functional package of the antivirus installed

  Hey Buddy

  I m bit confused about your ad and how you wrote this.

  I would like to mention a few facts:
  I m a Satellite P200 owner (it s even as P200, but with Intel the piece) and my laptop is equipped with the Norton Internet Security program.
  Of course, it s a subscription for 90 days, but it s a functional full version.

  Everything is pre-installed, but you need to configure and create a Norton account.
  I know because I read the instructions and information that are stored on my laptop.

  If you would in a full version of Norton Internet Security, you must create this account also.
  So you must connect to the internet also if you n t have an Antivirus Program preinstalled to set this up.

  Of course it must be updated also with the Internet because the antivirus definition file changes almost every time and the internet connection is required for this update.
  Why is it necessary? Because the image of Toshiba has designed several weeks ago and, therefore, the antivirus definition files is not updated.

  The same thing happens if you don t use the laptop for several weeks and don t perform the update of the operating system or antivirus.
  Don t wonder, therefore, you must connect to the internet to get everything updated.

  Please don t be angry with me, but I have my own opinion, you are one of the users who don t read the manual of the user or any other information that are equipped with Notepad and could be interesting for the use of the computer laptop but only start Notepad, install a few 3rd party apps and don t configure the operating system that is stored on the laptop.

  So I think that we could avoid this discussion if you read and check all detailed ;)

• Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

  One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

  Best regards, Marian

  I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

  No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

  To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

  Reach
  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
  and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

  Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
  After reading the manual you will be something like:

  1. program start, do something, restart the machine
  2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
  3. install the new driver
  3. reading of Bioshock
  4...
  5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

  So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  Welcomes :)

  I would like to format the hard drive!
  When I try to use the DVD, I get a message "starting windows 98"
  some 900ish files copied and then NOTHING! I restarted and I get a message from stiarting windows XP...

  I need HELP! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

  Hello

  Don t be afraid. Everything is ok.
  The restore CD contains the ghost image files and it uses the files Windows 98 MS system to boot from the CD.
  It is usual that the Win98 message during initialization.

• Satellite L555-10R: Question about using an external monitor with 1920 x 1200

  Hello

  I have this toshiba laptop: L555-10R

  I want to buy a screen external 24 "to use for CAD

  Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

  I really want the 1200 vertical height of the external display for CAD work such as size of the screen vertically made a big difference.

  If not, is there anything I can do about it to update the graphics card from the laptop?

  If not, can you suggest a new laptop that would support this? I am looking for excellent performance for rendering using 3DS Max, autocad, sketchup, etc.

  Thanks in advance
  Christopher

  > Please can you tell me, my graphics card composed with run at 1920 x 1200 monitor, and a second screen 1600 x 900 at the same time see my cell phone?

  I think that this should not be a big problem
  The graphics chip is expected to provide support for 1920 x 1200.
  The question is whether the graphics card driver contains such special resolution of 1920 x 1200

  However, you can certainly choose two different resolutions for the screen internal and external monitor.

• Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

  Hello

  I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

  Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

  Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

  Hi LindaMon,

  > How to create a recovery disk?
  What about reading your user manual?
  You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
  Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
  But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

  You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28447&ft=m&St=3

  Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

  Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the
