Satellite Pro 4320 CD upgrade

First of all, sorry if this message appears twice. I posted earlier this morning and he did not notice in the list of the forums then posted again.

I myself have recently a Satellite Pro 4320, but want to upgrade the standard CD-ROM drive to a CD - RW. I found a car at a computer fair and manage mounting.

I thought that you could drag the disc on the side and replace it - but alas no! I deleted EVERY visible screw unit and it STILL don't fall apart!

Help! How can I change the CDROM - I have not sent it to a service provider for the lack of a second-hand car £5... I do?

Thanks in advance

Barry

Hello Barry

It is not easy to change the CD-rom on this machine and if you don't have a lot of experience you shouldn't do it yourself. Problem is that the CD is fixed on the map system and if you want to remove the drive must disconnect the System Board at first.

To do this, you need to disassemble the whole laptop and open it by completely removing the top cover.

Sorry but I can't give you more information because any dismantling procedure is not known to me.

Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro 4320 - upgrade to Windows XP Home edition

    I have a 'standard' of Satellite Pro 4320 and plans the upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP - either domestic or professional. Y at - it advice on the problems or things to watch I'm likely to encounter?

    Hi Graham,

    Only problem you may have is that the Toshiba utilities were all designed for Windows 2000 and may not work properly with XP. Downloads available for your laptop have only an update of the BIOS for XP.

    Obviously XP contains device and utility drivers much more generic, so you may find that your system will work very well with the latter. Similarly, you can see that install the original Toshiba utility will work also. I have no definitive evidence either way.

    You can also find you would benefit to increase the RAM since XP uses rather than previous operating systems.

  • Upgrade memory for a Satellite Pro 4320

    I own a Satellite Pro 4320. He has the memory factory (64 MB), and I want to develop it. I read in the manual that it is possible to install up to 576 MB. But in other documents and web pages, I read that 320 MB is the maximum memory.

    Anyone know what is the right number?

    Does anyone know where to find 256 MB modules (if they can be installed)? I found only 128 MB modules.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I found information that 320 MB Max for this device. I have also not lucky to find the 256 MB RAM module for this device. There are two possibilities. You can contact the partner in your country and stopped a single module or you have to find some pieces of mobile equipment supplier in your country.

  • Readers of DVD - RW compatible for Satellite Pro 4320

    I want to upgrade the CD-ROM drive in my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 with a new DVD - RW drive. If I bought the next disk, will it work with my laptop?
    Samsung SN-S082D SlimDrive
    http://www.Samsung.com/Products/OpticalDiscDrive/SlimDrive/OpticalDiscDrive_SlimDrive_SN_S082D.asp?page=SPECI stories

    Or, if you please, if you know a DVD - RW drive compatible with this laptop, then share your knowledge for me and others know what to buy. Thank you.
    Or are all the available discs today compatible?

    Compatibility of the player is always a problem to upgrade. The fact is that every ODD won't work with each laptop model. I assume it's due to the assignment of the different pins.

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any list of compatible sides for your laptop model. Sat Pro 4320 is quite old and it will probably not so easy to find the compatible DVD - RAM drive. Try to contact Toshiba authorized in your country. They are upgrading specialized and they know which sides are compatible for this laptop Satellite Pro.

  • Satellite Pro 4320 utility & XP

    I have a Satellite Pro 4320

    I upgraded to win 98 to xp so that I can
    run my software works, but now I can't
    access the toshiba utilities.

    Anyone have any ideas where I could download the files

    Hello

    As I know your unit only is not supported with Windows XP. If I remember there Win98SE that was preinstalled on your laptop. I don't know, but it will be very difficult to do all this tools work. If you install the tools you can find on the CD-ROM of the tools will not work properly because they are adapted to work only with Win98.

    Hello

    Can someone tell me how to upgrade the bios on a Satellite Pro 4320?

    I downloaded the update of the Toshibas files download area and read the instructions, but in vain.

    It doesn't seem to be a flash Bios of Windows for the 4320 utillity, so I just downloaded the zip file and place content (1 Exe, 1 tray, 1 Pdf) on a floppy, rebooted the laptop holding F12 but I got was 3 lines of text in German and a DOS prompt - I know that I downloaded from the site of English support because I did it 3 times now!

    Thank you

    Barry

    Hello

    It is a statement of the BIOS update:

    1. step:
    Use a (not bootable) 1.4 MB 3.5 "floppy and copy the BIOS files on it."
    2. step:
    Turn off the machine, turn it on by now pressed the F12 key
    and choose to boot from the diskette.
    For more recent machines, press the ALT key and the SPACEBAR
    The rest is automatic.

  • Satellite Pro 4320: cannot use PCMCIA card after update BIOS 2.70

    Hello!

    I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 (SP 4320). With the very old BIOS (first) version 1.0, the system has worked well on LINUX (Ubuntu) and Windows XP. So I found the update of the BIOS (latest version on the toshiba Web site). I did update the BIOS version 1.0 BIOS version 2.7.

    Now, I can't use any PCMCIA card.
    Everything works fine, but I can't use two PCMCIA slots.
    The cards will be recognized, but the system says that there is a resource conflict.
    (WLAN/WiFi adapter) PCMCIA cards worked very well with the old BIOS version 1.0, but now it does not work.

    Windows XP says: 'conflict resource' and Ubuntu/Linux said after typing dmesg: "pccard gives wrong answer, for example."

    Please, help me!

    Someone got an older version of BIOS?
    My idea is to 'downgrade' the BIOS BIOS version 1.0 or version 1.x.

    I have to downgrade the BIOS to at least 2. 6.

    Bye,.
    Martin

    Have you tried installing WXP again using Toshiba Recovery CD?
    I mean it's so old model of laptop and I can't imagine that Toshiba will offer this update of the BIOS so long if there is a serious problem with it.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

    Hello

    I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
    I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
    Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

    I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
    When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

    I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

    The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

    Kind regards

    Sebastian

    To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

    64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
    So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

    I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

  • Card PCMCIA Avaya on a machine Satellite Pro 4320 - 31 to load the driver error code

    The machine works perfectly in all respects. Recently attempted to add an Avaya Silver wireless card to the system.

    Somehow the system has problems with the supplied driver. I have redownloaded the driver support site (now on version 7.62, the driver should support the card as a "Avaya Wireless PC Card".) I have to the latest driver available.

    Given that the machine works under Windows 2000, SP4 and all available patches, and yet didn't have questions about installing a card like this on a Windows 2000 computer before, I'm a little confused as to what may cause the problem.

    The card is detected properly, and the pilot is recognized. When installed the Device Manager still representing a yellow exclamation mark on the map of Avaya. When investigating this error shows that Windows 2000 cannot load the drivers on an error code 31.

    I found Code 31 made reference to possible support material that gives the questions. I turned my attention to the CardBus controller (ToPIC100 according to Device Manager). The version used is Microsoft, 20/06/2003, 5.00.2195.6717.

    Appearantly it is a newer driver (5.1.2600.0) but I failed to bring one downloaded. Seems that it is only available through Windows Update, which does not show the update as being available for the machine.

    Then... Anyone know how to get the map Avaya Wireless Silver active PCMCIA on a Satellite Pro 4320? I need a newer driver, or can not be done at all?

  • What HARD drive I can install on Satellite Pro 4320?

    I can install disk HARD 40 GB in Satellite Pro 4320 or it is great for my laptop.

    Hello

    I guess that the laptop is very old, because I found on the internet that it was delivered with a 6 GB HARD drive! Wow

    I think that if the laptop has been delivered with the 6GB, so it is not possible to use a 40 GB HARD drive. I'm afraid that the BIOS will not recognize this large size m.

    I think it's maybe s possible to use a 20 GB but you know s just a suggestion. In my opinion, you should test the HARD drive before you buy.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

    Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

    I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

    It still does not work.

    Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

    Thank you

    Aernout

    You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
    I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

    How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

  • Satellite Pro 430CDT - Win98SE upgrades

    I just dusted the cobwebs off my Satellite Pro Windows 98SE 430CDT. I would like to add a DVD player and USB ports and I hope that someone else has already walked this path.

    My questions are - has enough grunt to run the DVD? There was a never a DVD player that has replaced the slot-in CD player or connect the floppy drive? That are ports of the PCMCIA Cardbus compatible (IE 32 bit)? Win 98SE must support USB - can I add USB connectivity with a serial port or PCMCIA USB adapter?

    Wow you have a Sat Pro 430CDT? This laptop is about 10 years old!
    As far as I know that it supports a maximum 48 MB memory!
    Please don t me crazy to me, but why you want to update this book and wasting money! I think it s not worth. But it's your choice!

    If you want to upgrade the DVD - rom drive, you must contact the ASP for a compatible. Not all readers are supported because different master/slave/c-salt settings.

    If you want to use the USB port I recommend buying a Toshiba PA2711U Replicator of ports that need to be compatible with the Sat Pro 430 CDT
    http://www.etech4sale.com/TOSHIBA_PA2711U_PORT_REPLICATOR/PA2711U/PARTINFO-ID-116903.html#

    or you buy a PCMCIA Type II or type III PCMCIA card with the USB function.

  • Satellite Pro 4600, memory upgrade

    I have twice had problems trying to upgrade memory to my Satellite Pro 4600, so I decided to ask directly if Kingston KTC-SO133/256 MB is compatible with this machine?

    It's the SODIMM I'm about to try next, but I have to pay for it first.

    Problems were that the SODIMM modules is not compatible with the wonderful piece of memory or it won't work at all with Toshiba.

    Is there an availave list what type of bars of memory are compatible?

    Sorry, I can tell you that I use the Original from Toshiba 'PA3069U - 1 M 25' memory (its a KIT of MEMORY of 256 MB)
