Satellite Pro A100 - PSAAAE CPU upgrade

Hi Toshiba,

I have an old * Satellite Pro A100 * _PSAAAE-type_ and I would like to upgrade the processor. I have seen that is 479, and I found that there are the Core 2 Duo on this plug. The 945GM chipset supports Core 2 Duo, but I don't know if my laptop BIOS supports these CPU.

Someone can confirm or not?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

In General, upgrading the CPU is not recommended.
Of course, you can use the processors that are supported by the chipset, but the BIOS compatibility is another story. No one can tell if your laptop would be stable after this upgrade due to the higher heat dissipation.

But I read in this forum that some guys have upgraded the processor and the laptop still works

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAAAE - drivers need

    Hello

    Excuse my bad English,

    I recently formatted my laptop and impossible to find some drivers for Satellite Pro A100 PSAAAE. I'm looking particularly Power Saver, common modules, Tablet...

    I have a recoverring dvd, but it does not (CRC error during extraction). The drivers on the Toshiba site for other versions of A100 do not seem to work. Find sound elsewhere or contact Support to post me a new recover dvd?

    Hello

    I guess you're looking for XP drivers? Is this good?

    Unfortunately, it XP drivers as Power Saver, common modules, paved tactile are not out on the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAAE series.

    Maybe some drivers only for other portable devices such as Satellite Pro A100, Equium A100, Satellite A100 would be compatible test simply... Maybe you're a lucky guy and some drivers would go!

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro A100-830 - HDD upgrade questions

    I'm a complete noob so please forgive my silly question!

    I would like to replace my laptop HARD drive, is there any combatibilty issues I should be aware of, or is it just a case of getting a HARD drive 2.5 "?

    Is it easy to buy an external and use the internal drive inside the case?

    This seems to be the best way to the value of doing. Specific recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Hi magicmat,

    Generally upgrade the HARD drive is not complicated, and that's why you only have to remove the cover of the HARD drive on the lower side of your laptop to replace the HARD drive.

    Satellite Pro A100 already use hard disks with SATA interface so you have such a HARD drive. In addition, I would recommend a 5400 RPM model because it s quite fast and doesn t a lot of power.

    So that s what you need to know about upgrading. Theoretically, you can use the old or an external HDD with an external HARD drive enclosure. Also no problem. :)

  • Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
    Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

    Best regards

    Hello

    In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
    If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
    These hard drives are so cheap.

    Is that enough for you?
    Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

    The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
    -Remove the HARD drive cover
    -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
    -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

    I guess you know now how to put a new.

  • Satellite Pro L20-PSL25E - CPU upgrade question

    Hello

    I upgraded the ram last year and im running high-performance for my model, 2.0 GB.

    This really helped for awhile, but after a few heavy programs have been installed this year (only one software, one game) ive noticed it running slow as before, its worth noting that my computer has adopted all the necessary specifications for both outside the game where im working on 1.7 ghz and it needs the least 2.0 ghz processor , and I'm short on speed slowest peformance of the game itself.

    The vehicle has currently a centrino pentium, keeping in mind a new portable computer is not in my budget, is it worth getting a new processor and which would be best?

    Thanks again, Rebecca.

    Hello

    My personal opinion is that Satellite L20 is not designed for heavy operations and is certainly not game machine. If you compare the price of Satellite and Satellite L laptops you'll understand why. I'm sure that this laptop is designed for Internet, office and simple every day activities.

    Upgrading RAM is very good and I'm sure it helps a lot but CPU upgrade is not the solution. Update CPU is not supported. You must also understand that each hardware platform is designed for optimal physical activity. Processor, graphics, cooling system and other hardware components must work without overheating and harmonic. Stronger CPU means more heat.

    In my opinion you should optimize operating system preinstalled software hoping you use will work better and more stable.

    Is it possible to upgrade processor in this model: L630 14 L? If yes what processors are supported?
    Another question - my hdmi port stopped working - is the possible replacement?

    Hello

    With regard to the question on the CPU upgrade:
    This question was asked several times here in the forum. I recommend you read the other discussions on upgrading the CPU.

    Usually, the case is simple: the manufacturers of portable don t support this upgrade for clean products. The CPU is delicate because the new processor must be based on two essential elements: chipset and BIOS.

    The laptop supports the Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset.
    So, you know, what would the CPU supported by the chipset.
    But like I said above: the BIOS support is also important and finally everything depends on the BIOS whether your new processor works or not.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - can I exchange the CPU?

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite Pro A100-198 with a core duo processor. I would like to replace the processor of a Satellite Pro A100 830, which is Core2Duo in the Pro A100-198. They both have the same chipset-expected-they be any problem with that? This would increase the clock speed of 1.66 GHz to 2.0 GHz. They all have two Intel 945 PM Express chipset.

    I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 32 bit and the performance score is 3.4. My BIOS version is 1.9 and I see there is an upgrade to win all the version 6, but I can't find the BIOS version history - it is better to upgrade. For the moment, I'll see if there are problems.

    Thanks in advance Mick

    Hi Mick,

    As far as I know the two books belongs to the PSAACE series. Can you confirm this? You can find this information on the underside of the laptop.

    Normally if the books belong to the same series, it should be possible to exchange the CPU. They use the same hardware, so you can exchange.

    But don t forget this isn't supported CPU upgrade. If you have the warranty you will lose it. Other s CPU are pre-tested not on your laptop.

  • Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
    So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

    To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

    As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

  • Satellite Pro A100 crashed during Windows BIOS upgrade, now does not start.

    Satellite Pro A100 crashed during the upgrade of the bios from windows (upgrade the bios using windows), now the laptop will not boot. I press the on switch and it gives me just a blank screen, so I think that resets itself. I really need help solving this because I have a University paper due in the next few days and I need my laptop!

    This looks like a damage ROM module!
    How did you do the BIOS update? I have red in this forum that a wrong procedure or wrong BIOS can damage the motherboard.

    I think that it s a deal. I put t know if it s needed to change the entire motherboard or update the BIOS again but I n t think you will be able to do it yourself.

    I think the best way is to ask the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I think they'll give you more details on the handling of the Fryer

  • Satellite Pro A100: Upgrading RAM void my warranty?

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 today and, having only 256mbRAM I want to update my 512 RAM. If I discover the RAM slots and replace it, this will void my warranty?

    Thank you

    (NB several opinions would be appreciated)

    Hello

    You warranty still valid. You can upgrade the memory without any problems, but you must use the right modules and supported.
    As far as I know, these modules are compatible:
    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
    1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

    But are you sure you want to upgrade the memory of 512 MB?
    AFAIK all already shipped with 512 MB.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - 244 PSAAC - RAM upgrade Question

    Hello everyone,

    I have Satellite Pro A100 - 244 (PSAAC) comes with standard RAM "512 (533 MHz)" and I replaced it with 1 GB (533 MHz)

    And now, I want to add 2 GB of RAM in the other slot but I couldn't find RAM 2 GB with bus (533 MHz), I can find only the Rams with (667 MHz)

    I just want to know if it is acceptable to add these two RAMS with these different bus "1 GB (533 MHz) with 2 GB (667 MHz).

    Please let me know if there a danger or cause any problem or if the computer would decrease performance

    Looking forward to your help

    Best regards
    Sammy

    667 MHz * should * work at 533 MHz, but his has not guaranteed to work, you will need to test it before buying the memory.

    Memory usually has a SPD table that tells the BIOS which timings to use at different speeds, but even if the SPD has a 533 MHz on the table, there may always be a compatibility problem.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100-840

    The specification for the Satellite Pro A100 840 said that memory has a maximum of 4 GB of memory. But it does not seem to be all provided by Toshiba that allows me to level to 4 GB of memory. This current has the default 1gn that was shipped when ordered. Anyone know how to get the 1 GB to 4 GB?

    Thank you in advance for any help

    Hello

    I just wanted to check the specifications of the laptop but I was not able to find the Satellite Pro A100-840. Can you please check laptop model and send us the laptop model number.

    In any case I really don't understand what your problem. It seems that your model of laptop can handle with 4 GB RAM max. According to your assignment, your laptop comes with 1 GB of RAM.

    So if you want to use the maximum RAM on your laptop satellite, you must buy RAM 2 X 2 GB module. As far as I know, 2 GB RAM module are available and if you want to be sure of compatibility please check the Kingston products.

    Please check this Kingston Memory Configurator

  • Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello.

    I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

    I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
    (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

    But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
    When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

    So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

    Thank you.

    The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
    So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

    I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 - it does not recognize 4 GB of RAM

    Hello
    today I purchased two 2 GB RAM Corsair DIMMS (DDR2 - 667 mhz) for my Satellite Pro A100.

    After that I updated the BIOS it detected the 4 GB of RAM, but the balance of RAM on the boot prompt checks only 3 GB of RAM. So I can use only 3 GB of RAM (I use ubuntu 64 as an operating system). When I try to RAM into another laptop, it works perfectly. A memtest86 + says check: no error. When I plug in a dimm in the laptop, it is correctly detected as a 2 GB dimm module (tested two DIMMs into the two slots on motherboard)

    Anyone else seen this behavior? For me, it looks like a limitation or a bug in the version of the BIOS.

    (The processor supports 64-bit (core2duo t5500))

    Hello

    What Satellite Pro A100 you have exactly?
    As far as I know that some models can only be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    It's really not easy to say what is the reason for this because I m confused on the subject of what the BIOS recognize the 4 GB of RAM, but not the boot prompt.
    I'm not sure that maybe the modules are not compatible with your laptop. You can test other modules?

  • Satellite Pro A100-080 does not start - stays dark after 3 beeps

    Hello
    After a week off, the Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-080 (PSAASE-00G004GR, 4 GB RAM) of my kids start not anymore.
    When turn on/off the system, he * will beep 3 times * (one long, two short beeps), the HDisk light flashes 'blue' and then nothing more. A/c and battery power LED are 'blue', which seem to be OK status.
    No other useful help, as the screen remains dark.

    We had upgraded to 4 GB MEM (Kingston) a year ago and I already tried the old used 1 GB (included with purchase) or the replacement of 2 x 1 GB since December 2007, but equal status with these modules. This is not
    a defect of memory.

    I hope that this is not the motherboard, probably only the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 graphics included adapter?
    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

    Thx for a short help.

    Hello

    Generally this type of beep codes are hardware related or with other words, hardware is defective. So I think it's a hardware problem and an ASP must check your laptop computer to identify the cause of this.
