Satellite Pro 4600 - appropriate replacement HD

I'm looking to replace my old Sat Pro 4600 HD anywhere since a 40gig 80gig HD, but I'm confused by GAP and GAX models Toshiba.

Is correct any size HD?

What is the difference between a GAX and a GAP model?

Any brand is suitable.

Special recommendations.

Hey Buddy,

I think that the maximum of 80 Gig is ok, because the Satellite controller is not capable of managing several.

Regarding your question about the GAP thing and the thing GAX, you should visit this Web site, here´s, every information you need to know about toshiba HDD´s:

http://www.storage.Toshiba.EU/

One thing I can tell you on the GAX pladders, is that the magnetic disc in this type of hard drive is "air-mounted" and not with liquids or something.

But you will see. ;)

Welcome them

    I intend to get 2 sticks and replace the stick of 128 MB with them, so there are 512 in the machine altogether - which should make windows xp run a little faster!

    Thanks in advance!

  • 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

  • Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

    Hi all

    for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
    Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

    Thanks in advance: Bernie

    Hello

    The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
    KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

    It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
    Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 problems

    Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 is usually a large equipment once it works! I have bought in December 2001 + additional 2 year warranty. Used every day for a business purpose - mainly on a desk anchored to the Port Replicator or inside-out of the office with WiFi.

    Almost after a year I bought it - one of the memory locations died on the motherboard! A machine still worked OK - only on a slot with installed memory capacity! So the 256 MB of memory and motherboard have been replaced by September 2002.

    Then the hard drive was noise - has been replaced as a guarantee somewhere in October 2004. So I thought that it is her - I have now a few years without problem again!

    Yes - all of a sudden a few days ago, I closed the lid for a coffee brake and after that the machine woke up to a strange sleep - the screen flickered and a machine was muzzy! Like the previous night failures that occurred before that I thought that this restart will solve the problem! It s woke up without the support of the voice! And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always on - no matter if you switch the button on or off! If the service said that probably the motherboard has not once again!

    So, which brand and model to buy then?

    > And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always enabled.
    > - no matter switch you on or off! So that the
    > service provided that said probably the

    same thing with my nine M30 I bought last summer. I can't be able to turn off the WiFi keyboard functionality. the light is still on too.

    Hello

    I put t found any information if this drive is compatible with the Satellite Pro 4600, but you should be careful to replace the drive.
    You should check the dimensions of the car. Very important is the drive (master, slave, csel) settings because it is not possible to change this settings as on the usual desktop drive.
    I'm not sure about the settings on the Satellite Pro 4600 but the ASP Toshiba should know that.
    You can also order the caught player supported by the Toshiba service partner in your country.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 - CPU overheating graphics card?

    16 days ago my tosh Satellite Pro 4600 has lost the ability to maintain 25 fps in a game online - IE. Diablo 2.
    He now plays to an average of 4 frames per second and ping gets up to more than 4,000... Needless to say that now, unplayable...

    I reinstalled the game... installed new XP and game on the D drive...
    Same thing... a program called SpeedswitchXP shows CPU use fluctuating 54 to 420, because the clocked processor slot general tab of my computer displays 422 now, not the 847 mhz it used to.

    Still, he surfed on the net and plays yahoo games of cards for example. at lightning speed, but not a rpg online... there work perfectly at 25 fps on average for 3 years... Irretrievably overheating / damaged CPU, graphics card?
    Anyone know? Another temp. program shown running at 64 c is worth a new motherboard?

    I can get one? Any ideas?

    Hello

    First of all, he should know that the processor and GPU performance are dynamically.
    This means that the speed and the performance changes if the temperature reaches a critical threshold.
    This could lead to performance degradation.

    In your case, the laptop is about 3 years old and I think that it s time to clean the fans to prevent the notebook from overheating.

    You can try to use the jet of professional compressed air to get rid of dust and debris.
    Such spays you can buy computer retailer.

  • Cannot change the contrast, brightness, etc. on Satellite Pro 4600. Help please.

    I can't control the contrast, brightness, Saturation etc... using the control panel of Trident in my Satellite Pro 4600. Could someone help me to activate these controls?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrea

    Hello Andrea,

    normally, you can change this settigs in the Panel, but to explain the way to change this would be nice to know what operating system you have installed.

    If you have the perinstalled Os, it might be that you have Win2000.

    Win2000:

    Go to the control panel - display - Advanced control and then you could choose between video, color or television.

    The Brightess could be changed to energy-saving, because the brightness depends on your setting of power.
    Battery high brightness mode could reduce your battery power!
