• 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: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

  Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
  The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

  If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

• Satellite Pro L10: Question about saving the files on a CD

  Please can someone tell me how I can save a typed document (produced in Word or similar) on the CD? I don't have a floppy drive on my satellite pro L10 portable. Have 'saved' music using the immediate recording before, but now need to record your actual work on the hard disk for transport to a pc with access to a printer.

  When I tried it told me incorrect function, contact administrator (that's me!) I tried CD - R and CD - RW discs and neither would not let me save the file on it. would be grateful for any advice regarding this.

  Thank you

  Hi Roy,

  First of all, you will ned to ensure that you have enabled logging on oprical drive you. For this a right-click on the CD-ROM in my computer icon and then selecting "properties-> recording. Make sure that "Enable CD writing on this drive" is checked.

  Once you have done the above, you can simply drag the documents that you want to copy on the CD-ROM icon in my computer.

  Note that the burning process does not happen immediately. Windows caches the files to be placed on your hard drive first and then you can burn all documents cached only once.

  Alternatively, you may find that some third-party software has been bundled with your portable computer, which performs a similar function the standard Windows CD burn software.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A10 - IDE 1 # error at startup to the top

  HI, I have a Satellite pro A10 and everything is working very well in recent years to date.
  A few days ago I started having a cd read error / invalid dvd disc format still drives fine on all the other PCs work.

  Today as I get #1 error on boot up IDE... the laptop is always standard when I got off the shelf. thinking the drive might be dead due to wear I replaced the drive with a drive to work and I still get the same error. I removed the completely STRANGE and yet to come.

  I also updated the usb floppy bios that has been a success. and the best part of all this. the dvd - rom supplied with the laptop works fine in my other a10 tosh!

  Someone at - it ideas. I really need to replace the motherboard if I can help it. This is the only problem with the laptop.

  THX in advance people.

  Hello James

  IDE 1 # error is typical when ODD is not accepted by the system. The reason may be defective drive or the use of non-compliant readers. The fact is that each player can not be used with all portable models because of the allocation of the different pins.

  In your case, it is really strange that the work by car on other A10 but not on this one. Because of this, I presume that there may be a problem with connectors. I'm afraid there is not much to do. You can try to check out them and see if they are clean and not oxidized.

  Sorry, but we cannot speculate what may be the problem but, as you know, only intensive test may give you more answers.

  Good luck and let us know if you will find what is the problem of resources.

• 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 A100: Question about vertical resolution

  Hello
  I just bought a Satellite Pro A100 a few weeks ago. I'm pretty happy with it, with the exception of the vertical resolution. I'm used to the small fonts and large resolutions. Well, it seems that the A100 is not capable of displaying more than 800 pixels vertically. Is this true?

  How can I run a vertical resolution greater than 800 pixels visible?

  Best regards
  George

  Hi George,.

  I think the A100 supports a maximum resolution of 1280 X 800 on its internal screen but can support a resolution of 2048 X 1536 on an external monitor attached.

  I don't think that you will be able to achieve a vertical resolution higher than 800 on the internal display.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Satellite Pro A10 - question memory & overall sluggishness

  Two questions really, even if they may be related.

  1. I have an A10 (XP / IT with a Celeron 2.2GHz processor & 256 MB installed RAM) that runs now very slowly - extremely laborious. Do all the usual things (defragmented, spyware scanning, virus scanned, registry cleaned with a utility, etc.). Is that need more RAM? Or is there another solution to try first and if additional would be a good idea...

  2. .. do I need to install matched pairs of modules SODIMM or can I take one of the 128 MB chips and put in a 512 MB, or just have a 512?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I don't know what makes your computer to run very slowly. If it is software related, my only other idea is to reinstall the whole system.

  About RAM: Upgrade memory will definitely increase the speed of your machine, and I think that, as you have only 256 MB, it would be a good idea.
  When upgrading you must use memory good type. I think you need PC2100 DDR - RAM. You can combine the modules you want up to a maximum of 1024 MB.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L100 - Question about BIOS password reset

  Hello

  I have problems with an old satellite L100 to request the password from the bios, which we do not know.

  I saw there are different ways of short connections to work around this problem, but I can't find anything about this particular model and none of the information I've seen applies to this motherboard.

  Can someone please help and direct me to what pins needs a short circuit on the laptop to be able to re - use this equipment.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Chris

  The password of BIOS bad new buddy is a kind of security mechanism that cannot be removed easily. The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only authorized Toshiba service
  This is why you must contact the ASP in your country to remove

  Hehehe this is a really an oldie I wonder who uses something like that?  :| now in this moment

  I have goggled and found out that this laptop comes with a PIII 650 Mhz CPU.
  Who knows why this processor does not work with a maximum yield maybe the motherboard was already replaced and him correctly DMI was not written in the BIOS or the speed of the CPU was locked in the BIOS or in the Toshiba HWsetup

  But have you tested the speed with other applications? Mayen AIDA 32 program provide results wrong everything is possible!

• Satellite Pro A120 - Question about license activation

  I have run the recovery of product on my laptop and in the Conditions section, I saw something on the mandatory activation EULA license. (Article 13)

  My laptop's for only mathematical modeling, and I don't want to connect to the Internet. Could someone tell me if I'm dealing with clause 13 now, or I am entitled to assume that this step has been supported until I bought the laptop? If I have to deal with clause 13 I have to call the manufacturer and need to find the number.

  You re right, peter1234.

  The activation of the preinstalled Windows version is already made by Toshiba. So nothing more to do. :)

• Satellite Pro A100: Question about RAM upgrade and warranty

  I just bought my machine and Ive decided to install some more ram. No one knows if it will affect my Gurentee. I can't find anything on the Web site on this topic. Should I get a Toshiba to install official repairman or something?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Please check you user manual. Usually, the slot memory must be placed at the bottom of the unit. If you remove the cover, you should see the slots.
  Usually memory upgrade procedure is described in the user manual so you can upgrade the memory yourself and the procedure of upgrading doesn t affect your warranty.
  But please make sure you use the right modules.
  However, you can also contact Toshiba for the upgrade of memory.

• Satellite Pro A10 - but cannot work on what model it is?

  Hi, I am a beginner, but hey!

  I have an old, very old, but perfectly functional Toshiba Satellite Pro. It was purchased in October 2003. On the underside, he says it is a "Satellite Pro A10", but we can also read on the part number that reads 'PSA15E-02VPC-EN.

  What is an A10 or A15. As ever, it's what model is it, when I visit the download page online for pilots, there re a number of different models, I can't work on which it is my pc?

  There are eleven models A10 A10-S100 to A10-S178 and eight models A15-A15-S127 to A15-S1692.

  So this could be one of the 19 models? Any help much appreciated.

  P.S. I have formatted the hard drive, installed a clean copy of Windows XP, so now I need drivers.

  Hello

  According to your post, you have a series of Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E

  The drivers are located on the page of the European driver Toshiba;
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  But the laptop is old, then you must check the box Archive to get the drivers for this series. In product type choose Archive simple and then point to Satellite Pro A10 PSA15E ;)
