• Satellite Pro 4310 support - looking for Northbridge/Southbridge

  I have recently spoken of an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4310. Currently, it's obviously a little slow and I am wanting to update is usable.
  I'll buy some more RAM and a new HARD drive for it. He is running Puppy Linux (that I installed) and seems to work very well.

  My problem comes mainly at startup. More time than I would like (ok, I know, it's an old laptop...) as is currently a spare, machine project, I was hoping to try CoreBoot (previously LinuxBIOS)
  However I can't find details specific hardware (Northbridge/Southbridge) anywhere.

  I just contacted technical support Toshiba who were happy to help, but did not have the information that I needed and referred me to "Topaz", who told me that they do not hold number of component specific of any piece of Toshiba, and nor any UK company.

  Can someone please help me here? I really want to get the most out of this laptop.

  Hello

  OK; I'll try my best ;)

  Info on RAM;
  The laptop can be upgraded up to 320 MB and the modules that are supported are SODIMM 144 pin PC100

  The laptop was equipped with internal memory of 64 MB, which is not removable. So only one location is available for the upgrade of memory:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11466&ft=m&St=3

  Disk HARD;
  The laptop supported disk interface HARD Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
  Therefore, buy an IDE HDD.

  I'm not sure about the size of the HARD drive. The old HDD was 10 GB. Right? Then maybe a 20 GB might works too but I m not 100% sure.

• Satellite Pro L500 - no license for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

  Hope someone can help me. I'm going along in circles.

  November 8, 2010 I bought online at Toshiba Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Premium Edition) for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 so that I could use my dongle (non-Toshiba) existing. It works well until a few months ago.

  Thinking that the dongle was packed that I bought another one.
  However, even though I know that it is not working I could not make it work on my Toshiba laptop I get the error after the Toshiba Bluetooth stack as follows:

  "Thank you for the evaluation of battery Bluetooth for Windows by Toshiba. The evaluation period is now expired. You can purchase a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba. "

  This seems to involve I came at the end of a free trial period but I did not because I bought the full license in 2010. I tried various things, but I can't go beyond that. I'm not a computer boffin, but I can reasonably find my way around a laptop. Can someone please, please help me?

  Hello

  Have you tried to reinstall the battery Bluetooth using once more the license provided by Toshiba?

• Toshiba Satellite Pro M50 comaptible - tools for WIndows 7

  Hello world
  I own Satellite Pro M50, listed as a model on the official website of Toshiba - drivers and tools provided by Toshiba are only for XP and several of them for Vista.

  I installed Windows 7 32 bit and I am very satisfied with the speed of the computer now. Windows 7 was able to detect my devices (screen, usb, wifi, lan) and drivers updated successfully. Everything seems to work OK now.

  Problem is with Toshiba tools.
  MasterG (to whom I am very grateful, but I have not found a way how to address him directly) advised another user with the old model (M100-221) to use PPV and Flash Card Utility Support for series L500.
  (for more details: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=57586&tstart=0)
  
  I tried, and the utility of Support Flash Card worked. Now, I can use the Fn key.

  There are also a few features Toshiba I would run: Power Saver, utility TouchPad and so on. How could I know what model has tools that could function as a substitute for my only or was it just a coincidence that it worked?

  Thank you very much in advance, and greetings to the whole community of toshiba, I'm really pleased with this support forums.

  Hi Ben,

  It of Nice to hear that you have successfully install Windows 7 successfully on your Satellite Pro M50 and you also like the forum like me. :)

  What tools you want exactly?
  There are a few differences between XP and Windows 7 tools. For example, Power Saver already belongs to a package of added value, and you can find the parameters energy saver in Windows the Windows Management.

  The utility of touchpad you can download other laptops. AFAIK driver Synaptics and Alps Electric should work on all models, but you need to test, I n t have Satellite Pro M50.

  In addition a list of compatible tools does not for me. Just try it.
  Important is that you install Windows 7 versions or at least for Vista. I think that the XP don t work tools.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro 4200 - need help for Windows 95 & drivers!

  Hello! Years ago my mother, I bought a fully functional, great Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 working the place taken sales... Since that day, my laptop has not been used. But now, I found a few games nostalgic childhood of mine, who works only with Windows 95. I wanted to play, and I decided to install Windows 95 to my laptop. The installation process went well, it was a bit complicated at first because of the startup disk and such. But I managed to install a working fully Windows 95 in my laptop! But it gives me only 16 colors and no option to choose the resolution! So I found out that I need to install the video card drivers.

  I have google a bit and discovered that my laptop has chart S3 Savage IX. I failed to find the appropriate drivers for it. Until I went to your site to support canada and traveled for a pilot of similar laptops. I found Windows 95-98 compatible drivers for my card. The installation process was easy, is well past and fine! I then could choose 256 colors and another resolution (which I did not actually change...). I changed the colors and then restarted. Everything went well until windows 95 logo screen came suddenly to the top and after that I only saw colors and black borders. He did not start Windows properly. What can be wrong? At I have download the wrong drivers? Windows told me 2 different versions, IX and MX. I tried them both. Tried to change the Hz also, but nothing helped. Please help me!

  Thanks in advance,
  Jupstejuho of Finland.

  P.S Sorry for my bad English...

  Edit: OH, BTW is the exact version of my OS: Microsoft Windows 95 Finnish b with USB support (I Don t know the version very very accurate actually... but I just mention that it is version B of the operating system.) Could this be the problem? I also tried the same driver downloaded from toshiba europe Web site, but it won't let me just install the drivers 'already installed' and they really are. I did not uninstall them, I tried to run the uninstall utility, but it doesn't work...!

  Hello!

  Maybe chose a resolution not supported?
  This happens to you at all resolutions, or only one?

  Normally, you can download all the drivers on the European site of Toshiba, but I only find Satellite Pro 4220, 4240 and so far but not 4200.

  However, have you tried to do a BIOS update?
  Before installing the graphics driver, you need to update the version of DirectX.
  You can find the Toshiba site:

• Satellite Pro A10 miniPCI ready for 802.11 g?

  Hello
  I would like to insert a WLAN miniPCI card in a Satellite Pro A 10. Product specifications that it is ready for use with 802. 11 b, but will work an adapter WLAN 802.11 g? And is it possible to use the full 802.11 g or just 802. 11 b, even when the card is compatible 802.11 g?
  Thank you!
  Jens

  Hello

  I checked some information about this device and it seems that you can only use standard Wi - Fi: 802. 11B.
  In this case, you can use 802.11 b standard WLan cards. But perhaps a WLan 2200 b/g card will also work.

  PS: Wireless cards are compatible rewards. the card 802.11 g is compatible with 802.11 b but not 802.11 b-> 802.11 g

  There must be a problem with the driver, right? Could someone tell me where I can find the right driver?

  Hello

  I managed to find the drivers for Windows 98 on the site of Toshiba Canada:

  On Toshiba Europe site, you will also find some drivers for the 42xx Satellite Pro series. I recommend checking out other laptops in this series that have the same graphics card, then use the graphic driver for this device.

• Satellite Pro L300 was gel

  Today, my other computer laptop girls was freezes, and it becomes the message by is disconnecting or when she stops she made it two days ago.
  We out the battery and handed in only to make it happen.

  Now Ive removed the battery and recover after an hour to see if anything changes.

  Is there anything else I can do or is it a work of repair on this one too?

  Any advice id be very grateful

  Dawn

  Hello

  > Gets the message end the session, or when she puts it down he made since two days we have out the battery and given in only to make it > happens once again now Ive removed the battery and put it back an hour later to see if anything changes.

  I don't think that it is a battery or hardware related problem, it looks like Windows problem. I advise you to restore the [factory settings | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm] if she doesn't fix it, it may be a malfunction of the equipment. In this case, the best solution to communicate with Asp (SAV), they will be repair at our expense. Be sure to back up necessary things in front of the factory restore procedure.

• Satellite Pro M500 - cut voltage for USB

  I have the Satellite M500 Pro with Windows 7 installed.

  Correctly detect several USB pen drive (led inside IT) but when to use 'remove the security apparatus' (bottom right) the led stays ON (never turn off). This for each Keystone model I (2, 4, 8GB).

  Last old XP laptop switch function properly the POWER supply. Why this Toshiba not turn off the correct mode the USB?

  Thanks in advance,
  Pasolini

  Hello

  Do you really think that there is a problem?
  To be honest, sometimes I see the same thing that disconnect a USB the LED doesn't key t turn off but Windows tells me that I can remove the disc. So I think that if Windows tells me that everything should be ok.
  What do you think?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you use your own Windows installation or factory settings.
  Also, make sure that the BIOS version is the most recent.
