• Satellite Pro A10 HDD upgrades

  Deploy a satellite pro a10. To upgrade HDD 2181 30 GB to a bigger drive, but don't know which drives are supported. Have founf Toshiba HDD 2188 80 GB which could do the job, but the Interface is different. His ATA - 6 rather than ATA - 5 on the old disk. Would this work? or if anyone knows of a reader that works id good to know

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Sat Pro A10 has been delivered with 3 different drives - 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB.
  In my opinion the 40 GB is a maximum size of HARD drive support. It is possible that the BIOS could not acknowledge more large drives.

• Satellite Pro L100 CPU upgrade

  Hello

  The hope for some advice.

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro L100 of second hand, came up with the following configuration.

  Celeron M 370, 256 MB Ram, 40 GB drive HARD, Win XP

  As the laptop is out of warranty, I disassembled the laptop and upgraded to the following specification.

  Pentium M 735 (SL7EP), 2 GB of Ram, disk HARD 40, Win 7 Ultimate

  Everything seems to work perfectly, but he hopes to upgrade the processor more far, to maybe a Core Duo.

  I noticed on the Toshiba datasheet (* http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/Contents/Toshiba_uk/EN/Others/SatProL100datasheet.pdf *) for the L100, the configuration of this laptop back to a Core Duo 2400 (though on the motherboard PSLA1)

  Only problem I can see is the Core Duo 2400 only comes in a FC-µBGA package, while the L100 seems to have a CF-µPGA socket, a CF-µBGA CPU will correspond to a socket FC-µPGA?

  Also, does anyone know if the PSLA4 in my L100 motherboard supports a front side bus to 667 or 533 MHz?

  I sent Toshiba direct support - but unfortunately they have advised that because they haven't tested any other CPU on the laptop that they cannot advise me - seems a bit strange response given that they use multiple configurations on the same motherboard.

  Thanks a lot, Vaughn.

  > Also, does anyone know if the PSLA4 in my L100 motherboard supports a front side bus to 667 or 533 MHz?

  It depends on the chipset.
  As much as I know the laptop supports Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset

  According to the page Intel chipset supports MHz 533/667 MHz FSB and 4 GB RAM support

• Satellite L755-14Z - CPU upgrade possible?

  Hello

  Can someone tell me if it is scalable?
  If Yes, what socket number is it, can I put an i7 inside?...

  Hi mate

  I agree with Akuma.
  Update CPU is very difficult. The fact is that even if the chipset would support the new processor, it is really hard to tell if the BIOS would be able to manage the new processor.

  So, in the worst cases, the BIOS will not work with a new game and wouldn't boot the laptop.

  But why you want to replace the CPU in L755? This new model of notebook with a good processor.
  Even if you want to put a new processor, you will not notice big performance push so I think CPU upgrade is not really necessary in your case.

  By the way;
  Here's a nice Toshiba FAQ

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro A10

  Hello

  I have a PSA15E A10-IN running a celeron 2.0 chip. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if what chips it would take? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In most cases, the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of the BIOS and chipset restrictions.
  But sometimes it is possible to use a different CPU, which is supported by the chipset.
  I have no idea what chipset supports your laptop, but you can check this in the Device Manager or you could install some hardware diagnostic such as Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition software.

  Then, you can view properties chipset Intel ARK on page for a list of compatible processors.

  However, Satellite Pro A10 is very old and I doubt its value to upgrade the processor because you won't see a great performance.

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card

  Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.

  I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
  Any recommendation?
  Any help would be appreciated muchly.

  Hello

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  Hope this will help a little.

• Satellite Pro A10: No sound after upgrade to Windows XP Home SP2

  Hello

  Just use the recovery disks on my Satellite Pro A10, no problem with the sound, and then upgraded to XP Home with SP2, no noise.

  What I've read elsewhere, this is a problem and there seems to be an answer. I spent hours looking for drivers updated without success.

  I have also contacted Toshiba support, after blow and blow that they reported the following driver, 5.12.01.3542, which is the same one that I have already installed and does not work.

  Certainly there must be something out there that works.

  Ant.

  Install the driver of his most recent available FRO this sound chip and perform all the Windows updates available on the Microsoft page!

  Update just the BONES together!

  but I was wondering if this can be changed completaly or memory GPU upgraded on a satellite Pro A10?

  Any help and advice would be grateful.

  PS: Please forgive any spleeing stupid mistakes thanks: P

  Hello

  Unfortunately, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.
  The GPU chip is fixed simply (I think that it welded s) on the motherboard and cannot be deleted.

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A10

  I want to upgrade the RAM on my Satellite Pro A10 - currently only 256 MB. I have a model A10-PS15E-02VPC-EN, which is P4 1.9 G - any advice on what the right extension configuration should be - I understand that I can go to 1 GB - if it was in a slot or should I get 2 modules of 512 MB and what model numbers should I expect?

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop you can be upgraded to 1 GB Ram max. The compatible memory modules are:
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25) and
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51).

  In my opinion, you can get a 512 MB module and it will be enough for Windows XP Home edition operating system. You will see that this phone works much better and faster.

• Upgrade memory on Satellite Pro A10

  Can anyone advise me on the correct type of RAM to upgrade my Satellite Pro A10. Its a standard of 256 MB at the minute and I think to mortise in additional 512 MB next to her - but I am confused by the array of the types of memories and classifications - DDR - SODIMM etc!

  Practice with the screwdriver, but not so hot with the acronyms. A big thank you to you all out there who know the score!

  Hello

  I understand you very well and sometimes I also a bit confused because of the entire rating in the world of computing of m.

• Satellite Pro A10 - need information about upgrading RAM

  Dear members of Ant
  Regarding the above machine: Please can someone advise:-how many slots memory has.
  I think it's two but do not know.
  Also size maximum memory can this module we have in this laptop please.
  If it's 2 @ 1 GB per module, then we would have a total of 2 GB.

  Is the standard hard drive on this computer, a hard drive of the laptop. Can I get out the small 20 GB one and replace it with a larger. for example 120 GB etc.

  Thank you very much for your help.
  Ian

  Satellite Pro A10 two memory locations are available. Laptop computer can manage with 1 GB of RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) modules.

  This old machine uses 2.5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it has been bundled with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDD. I think you can improve it with up to 100 GB HARD drive but just to be sure he has the same connector on the HARD drive.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.
  For more information after the exact model number please.

• Satellite Pro A10 - CD/DVD drive - updated?

  I have an A10 and a few remnants of the A15 which I cannibalise the parts.
  The A10 has DVD playback only, while the A15 motorway had features of reading / writing DVD.

  Desperately the A10 BIOS does not recognize the A15 CD/DVD drive.
  Anyone know if it is possible to obtain this recognition - could I swap chips BIOS with the A15 for example?

  This machine is my toy and I have it running with a Pentium 4 M 2.4 GHz and 1 GB of ram (frustrating it does not accept the sticks of 1 GB!).

  It's a gift so if I break, well I'll be sad - but not heart broken...

  Hello
  You can only use the BIOS that came out for the Satellite Pro A10 series and which is available on the Toshiba page.

  But why you n t use a CD/DVD drive that is compatible with the model Satellite Pro A10?
  The manual provides details on supported devices.
  I found the user manual [here: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-en-20090121085356.zip]

  On page 4-7 you will find info on the STRANGE devices supported by Pro A10
  -TEAC CD-224th CD-ROM drive
  -DW-224th drive TEAC CD-RW/DVD-ROM
  -Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-C2612
  -Diving Toshiba CD-RW/DVD-ROM SD-R2412
  -DVD-R /-RW drive SD-R6012
  -Hitachi drive of DVD - ROM RDA-8082
  -Player Panasonic UJDA-740/750 CD/RW/DVD-ROM

  Hope that the list could be useful.

• Satellite Pro A10 won't boot up - where to get the disks

  I have a Satellite Pro A10 that currently does not start up Windows (XP) as it says

  The following file is corrupted or damaged:
  C:\windows\system32\config\system

  Tools & Utilities CD that came with my laptop has unfortunately been scratched and will not start.
  I have two system recovery disks, which are very good.

  My questions:

  1. is it possible to buy a replacement Tools & Utilities CD-Rom?
  2. If Yes, where to go?
  3. is there a way to restore my laptop without having to reinstall everything completely and lose all my files?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: Stuart_2007

  With regard to the point;

  (a) generally, it should be possible to order the CD of tools & utilities but I ask why?
  (b) you can buy the CD of the ASP in your country
  (c) the older recovery CD is supported by an expert mode. You can use this mode to choose the partition where the OS is to be installed. In this case only, this partition will be formatted.

  But look, man. You do not need to order the CD tools & utilities because on this CD, you will only find the Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.
