Satellite P850 138 - updated graphics card is possible?

My Toshiba Satellite P850 138 comes with an nvidia GT 630 M graphics card. I know to replace the graphics card (if it is even possible) is a long-term work... but can someone tell me if I CAN upgrade the graphics card and if yes, what options are available?

Very often on this forum, we discussed on GPU, or replacement upgrade and you will find many topics with the same theme.
You have a mobile unit and upgrade possibilities are very limited due to many different factors.
Generally the upgrade GPU is not supported and you should not experiment.
Nice article on this subject, you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

By the way: it must be fairly new laptop model. Why you didn t buy machine with more powerful and better graphics card?

    It's true!
    Upgrading the graphics card is not possible, the GPU is fixed (welded) on the motherboard and it s not possible to remove it in addition the motherboard and the BIOS would not support any other graphics chips.

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 and I was wondering if the CPU or the graphics card can be improved?

    I really like my laptop, but an upgrade is imminent and before I take the plunge I just want to see if it is all options other than a new laptop.

    Hello

    Processor and graphics card update is not supported and there is no list with compatible processors. If everything is on your own risk. In the worst case a new processor will not be recognized from the motherboard or BIOS, probably you need a new module of cooling too so I wouldn t this

    In addition, the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be exchanged.

  • Satellite L650-11R - updated graphics card drivers

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite L650-11R(that's what's written on the box) and my problem is that I found the latest drivers for my Mobility Radeon HD 5650 series and when well even as the site of AMD says that this driver is mobility graphics cards when I want to install the computer tells me that these drivers support not my graphic instrument and if I go to Device Manager the only card that appears is the VGA! So now the only drivers that I can install are outdated (8.753.0.0)
    And im wondering why I am condemned to use these wwhen out-of-date driver clearly there's more recent avalible?

    I hope some1 reading this!

    Hi yusty,.

    Why you are looking for on the AMD Web site directly to the latest drivers? All drivers for your computer is located on the Toshiba official European driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    And I don t understand why it s a problem with older drivers. Not always the most recent driver is the best.
    In addition, only the drivers provided on the official website of Toshiba are pre-tested and designed for your laptop. Install the other drivers that happens on your own risk

    Your motherboard may manage the CPU upgrade Bios should also recognize Otherwise, it is useless
    speaking of the GPU (graphics card), it is integrated into the motherboard in almost all laptops. For example, you must replace the whole motherboard. It is better to buy a new laptop than to make these updates, a motherboard replacement.

    Can anyone comment on what I would like to be able to upgrade my P20.

    Richard

    Hi Richard

    Update graphics card is serious theme and my only comment to that is: pick up serious source info and not in the forum where everyone can say learn all about laptops.

    Sorry, but I'm still a little skeptical about some of the comments. I had P20 for about a year and a half and it is very nice for laptop (desktop replacement). The unit is powerful enough and with max RAM you can have a very nice unit. But never forget that this device is not so flexible as desktop computers for the hardware upgrade.

    Another thing: a few months ago, I googled around and searched some independent reseller (non-Toshiba) where I can buy parts of different material. I can tell you one. You can get everything but they don t offer updated graphics card. Guess why!

    Good speed with upgrade, but please don t claim later that the unit is too hot or too strong, maybe or anything else!

  • Satellite P850 138 - a non-visible memory and no HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite P850 138 and loading up, I noticed that when that card said she had 640Go hard drive but mine is only showing the 570 GB and off that 540 GB available. on other computers laptop toshiba Ive got theres usually a partition, so I guess this must be why theres missing 100 GB.

    But when I chose to view all folders of that backup partition has not always shown. Is it a fault with the laptop or is the partition hidden for just the idiots like me can not messing around with it?

    The laptop was one given to nine and it works fine just worried that if I need to format the laptop and it reboot patients have problems and im starting to think it might be the wrong decision when buying a used laptop.
    Help, please!

    > it had 640 GB hard drive, but mine shows only 570 GB

    The point is that your HARD drive has 3 partitions.
    (1) small hidden partition that contains the Windows 7 repair files
    (2) C partition for the system
    (3) D partition for files image of Toshiba

    So don t be worried, everything is ok.

  • Equium P300-16 t and update graphic card

    Hi all.

    I was thinking about upgrading my graphics on the computer laptop satellite P300-16 t. I have not opened yet so my question is, has anyone here opened this machine? If so, is there a way to install a dedicated graphics card? i.e. the pcie? Could someone please advise if there are institutions in the machine to upgrade my graphics?

    My gratitude in advance for any help.

    In General, update graphics card is not supported and cannot be done.
    Toshiba has written about it in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    A common problem with portable mobile is the heat and to built the effective cooling system. Each laptop has optimized cooling system. More powerful graphics card will produce more heat, and this balanced hardware platform will not properly work. Can result in permanent damage from overheating or material.

    Maybe stupid comment now, but if you need more powerful your laptop sell on eBay and buy a new one.

  • Satellite P850 138 - left button of the touchpad works most completely

    My touchpad started acting strange.

    left mouse button has stopped working completely and the right hand one worked only intermittently, and whenever I clicked on legs, be it firefox, IE, Safari, or whatever it is in the menu at the bottom such as a folder bar or whatever it is she she closed (no im not not by clicking on the red X)

    Then all of a sudden after awhile he would all start working again. This has happened twice now.
    Restart the system doesn't do nothing there just suddenly starts and stops all of a sudden, but the periods for which it occurs seems to get more time.

    Also the icon of touchpad in the corner with the cross through it has decided to turn its self on a few days ago and found out that the touchpad was disabled on its own and figured out how to re-enable.

    I know this isn't a virus as ive run lots of different anti virus on my system and I was wondering if his time to restart the computer in the store and get a replacement as ive she was only 4 months old

    Its really annoying as im a photographer and rely on this laptop for editing phot o. can someone please help :)

    Hello

    My personal opinion, you should not replace this laptop until you tried not to workarounds.
    First you don t know if its software related issue.
    The point is that if its software delivers, you could solve it easily recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

    Please try to configure the computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery.
    Press F8-> choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

    If HARD drive recovery is not available, press F12 and check if there is a HARD drive recovery option.
    After the system recovery, make sure that the touchpad and other features of the laptop.
