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 1900-303: Question about upgrade video card
I have satellite 1900 - 303 and want to somehow upgrade the video card. Is that someone has an idea that is possible or not and if yes how and where to buy a new one.
Thank youHi Galin,
It is generally not possible to update the graphics card in a notebook. They are generally adapted to fit the available space and also specially designed drivers that are specific to your model of laptop. It is also quite common for them to use the RAM shared rather than having their own chip RAM (although some later model specifications have dedicated for graphics RAM).
You can check in your advanced (from Control Panel) display options if you can adjust the RAM available for your graphics card.

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 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=3Other 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 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 about a location empty in the lower corner
Hello
At the back of my machine looking for the back to the front, there is the first Panel to the right of the back that has the fan and processor in, then another in the middle which has a RAM memory. In the right in the front, there is a final, but it is empty, its has two sons, one white and the other black.
What is this for? This allows to video memory upgrade? If this is not what is happening here.
Any help appreciated.

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 A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature
I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?
Tom
The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive> I have installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees. He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.
CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature. -
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
GeorgeHi 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

I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)> I'll try editing a xp 64 bit (curently runing xp sp3 32-BIT)
Forget that don t recommend install Win XP 64-bit.
Why? Because the Win XP 64 bit was not so popular as Win 32 bit or Vista/Win 7 64 bit and you won't find many drivers for Win XP 64 bit.
Stay with XP 32 bit or you can change to Win 7 64 bit.Regarding the graphical issue;
Have you noticed that also using the old CPU (Intel Celeron M Processor 410)?
If this were not the case, then I guess this could be a problem between the CPU and BIOS.
Otherwise I would recommend upgrading the graphics card driver. -

I want to upgrade the graphics card to better manage the Guild Wars 2.
I am looking to buy an AMD/ATI HD6850 and a CS600 Corsair for power.
Is this a reasonable combination for my computer? Are there other combinations you would sugget instead?
Also, there are other problems, I need to be careful?

If you meant the CX600 Corsair, I anticipate no problems. Enjoy!

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 youHello
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 - 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
