• Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

  Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

  I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

  It still does not work.

  Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

  Thank you

  You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
  I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

  How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

• Satellite Pro 6100 BIOS upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a toshiba satellite pro 6100 and currently it has 1.60 bios version and saw that the last update of the bios is the 1.90. My question is: is it question where I get the update of the bios of wheather it is from the site of toshiba UK or the United States, is the same bios update, or are they different? The other question is what I have to do the previous bios updates first 1.60 1.70 1.80 and finally to 1.90, or can I just do the 1.90 and who will have the previous updates in that one later?

  Hi Christian,

  I normally prefer to get the update of the BIOS in the same country as I bought the laptop. However, given that the laptop was probably manufactured around the world, I don't think it bothers us really until the update is marked as compatible with your model of laptop. In principle, the update of the BIOS for the components of the laptop and is therefore more linked to the actual model in his country of origin.

  It is not normally necessary load the intermediate versions of BIOS as BIOS is usually not cumulative but is provided as a complete package and includes all the code required.

  Kind regards

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - RAM upgrade

  Hi all

  Don't worry I'm not here to ask questions on only 3 GB of RAM display in a 32-bit Windows system! : PEI

  I'm wanting to upgrade the RAM on my A200 and what I was wondering was what can I put with 667 MHz RAM? I know that the FSB of the CPU is 800 MHz so can not use RAM 800 MHz? I had a quick glance in the BIOS to see if there was an option to change the speed or on my desktop, but I couldn't find anything. If the speed of the RAM is locked and if yes is there a update of the available BIOS that will allow it to be changed?

  I hope this isn't a stupid question but thanks in advance!

  Daniel

  RAM with MHz more won't make your laptop faster. I'm not 100% sure but on the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz and Rams, you inside are at 667 MHz.

  If you can increase the RAM to 4 GB using 2 GB of RAM compatible with the PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A210: BIOS upgrade/downgrade to XP fails

  Hello

  I downloaded the latest BIOS for XP on the Toshiba site, as I lowered the from Vista to XP.

  My A210 has v1.70 BIOS (for Vista) installed.

  The XP BIOS I downloaded works Winphlash and stop trying to install the current BIOS is different from the one to be installed.
  I tried to use the advanced settings, but the update crashes just before writing the new BIOS.
  Is there a way I can download a version to install on a boot CD, or any other means of installing Winphlash.

  Thank you
  Paul.

  I was a little confused m

  First on the European driver Toshiba page you will find only in the BIOS for Vista 32 bit OS.

  I didn t find a special version of the BIOS for Win XP!

  Furthermore the released BIOS can be updated ONLY of the operating system running. You cannot update the diskette or CD!

• Operating system to load BIOS for Satellite Pro A200

  Hello

  I have a PSAE4E - 03300WEN Satellite Pro A200 with V5.30 BIOS and Windows 7 SP1 32 bit.
  I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.
  But in the Toshiba download page, I get the following 3 options:

  2.60 - WIN32 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (32-bit only!)
  2.60 - WIN64 this Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista! (64-bit only!)
  5, 60 - WIN this Bios is NOT compatible for notebook computers equipped with Windows Vista!

  And the question is...
  What about Windows 7? I should stick to V5.30 or go to a newer version? :-/

  See you soon!

  > I improved the T2330 CPU to T8100 and thought to update the BIOS for increased functionality.

  First of all laptop manufacturers (any manufacturer it is) don t support CPU updates.
  Of course, you can replace the CPU but it's your own risk.

  But what I mean is that updates of BIOS don't provide additional functionality or improves which would increase the functionality after upgrade CPU and this means that the BIOS update is not necessary to obtain better performance even after upgrade CPU.

  However, certain phrases on your BIOS question:
  5.60 BIOS seems to be released for portable computers running Win XP:

  Other versions of BIOS (v2.60 32-bit and 64-bit) are released for Vista systems I guess that this version should be compatible with Win 7 since its more similar to Vista to Win XP

  However, you changed the processor and consequently the hardware configuration is different now, I can't say for sure if the BIOS update would be the best option in this case

• Satellite Pro A200-16N: can I use the recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

  HII!

  IM thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N and I ran the pre-upgrade of windows vista from microsoft website and it says that my system will be in charge of windows vista so im ok about it.

  The problem is that if my laptop was to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD provided by toshiba to work always on the laptop with windows vista?
  They will return the laptop for windows xp or from my laptop has another operating system they will not work?

  Also...
  What's the deal with BIOS? : S
  I don't understand!
  If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  As I download the new drivers before upgrading Yes?

  Thank you!

  The restore CD will of course work.
  The recovery CD will always set the laptop back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HARD drive will be formatted and the image of Toshiba will be installed.

  > What's the deal with BIOS? I put t understand!
  > If I were to upgrade to windows vista should I upgrade my BIOS before or after the upgrade to vista?
  To my knowledge, that this laptop was already shipped with Vista, so you need not update the BIOS if you want to reinstall Vista.

  Some series Satellite A200 needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
  In such cases, it s advisable to upgrade the BIOS to version XP first, then install OS X.

• Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E - what BIOS I need for the update and how?

  Please on A) the correct updated version needs to B) process

  (A) the machine came with Vista installed, but it has been ranked towards the bottom to XP works on Win2003/XP network.

  The current bios to V5.20 do update to 2.60 - win 32 (vista) or win 5.60

  (B) Toshiba FAQ - FAQ ref: TRO0000000b07 shows how to upgrade the bios unfortunately it does not list the satellite Pro A200 - then what is the procedure - thanks in advance.

  Hello!

  If you want to update the BIOS, you need version 5.60. Are the other version for Vista and 5,60 only one is for XP and if it s the right one for you.

  The BIOS update procedure is quite easy. The update is based on Windows, which means that you can update it on Windows. So to extract all files from zip archive and run the exe file. Then updated your BIOS.
  But before update you, close all programs running even your AntiVirus and firewall and connect the AC adapter.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello
  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Check this box!

• Upgrade memory on the Satellite Pro A200

  Have two cell phones of #PSAE1E - 00T002EN Satellite Pro A200 and wanted to know if I can pass the 2 x 1 GB memory 2 x 2 GB?

  If I understand correctly what ask you, you want to upgrade memory of 4 GB laptops.

  Well, I think that it s is not possible.
  The Satellite Pro A200 supports maximum 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB), then you will not be able to use 2 x 2 GB modules.

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
  In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

  "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

  (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

  (2) anyone has try?

  (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

  Hello

  I will try to be very short with answers:
  1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
  2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
  3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) failure hard disk

  Hello

  My computer is Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) purchased Oct 2007, running Vista 32 bit. He was always a bit skittish and prone to crashing. The first time I ever did a Windows Update it projected blue, so I restored and never updated since.

  The other day it started to emit beeps during startup, and while I could then get into, I think that the hard drive has failed, because now it runs very slow and crashes.

  Think the forum that this laptop could never be made to be stable and reliable?

  The hard drive is hard to change? I do it myself.

  There the drive hard replacement somewhere online instructions?

  Should what model of hard drive I install?

  Thank you

  RAID

  Hello

  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
  HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You should see the drive Bay HARD fixed with a screw cover.
  Remove the screws and you will see the HARD drive

  To remove the HARD drive, remove the connectors

  But note; Be always careful and don't use force!

  Hey Buddy

  For several years he s already known that the Windows 32 bit doesn t recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.

• Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E memory upgrade:

  Please can anyone confirm this and advise the maximum memory I can install as I appreciate different for
  models... but I can't find any information for this Satellite Pro A200-PSAE4E:
  Dave was soon

  Yes. Your portable computer is DDR2 RAM module. I don't know about you but I think you can improve it up to 4 GB. You can for example use a 2 GB RAM and level to 2.5 GB.
  Compatible RAM 2 GB module is with the PA3513U-1M2G part number.
