• Satellite Pro A60: How to change the size of the AGP aperture?

  Hi people!

  I recently bought a laptop Satellite Pro A60 series.

  I also had an upgrade to 512 MB RAM module for it.

  Since then a few games that I try to launch slow area. (it wasn't before) I have increased the Frame Buffer, but wish to increase the AGP Aperture Size as well, but there is no option for this in the BIOS?

  Is there a fix that solves it?

  Hello

  Well, you said that the games run a bit slowly after upgrade memory.
  In this case, I guess that the graphics card is not really the problem.
  As far as I know if memory modules are not similar system could runs unstable.
  In addition, after the upgrade, you should try to install this new programs (games).

  Hello

  I found a new page of Toshiba.

  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  It s an online store of Media Backup of Toshiba Europe and you should be able to order your CD of restoration on this page.

  _Regarding your FN order issue: _
  If you are using Win XP on your laptop, you must install the Hotkey utilities for display devices and Hotkey Utility get the FN buttons work.

  One thing is very important; If you install your operating system manually, please ensure you install drivers for Toshiba and utility in the right order. On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the installation instruction txt file and you would find the mentioned order insall. Follow this all in the driver installation procedure!

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 480cdt: how to replace the power supply and memory?

  I broke the tip of the power where it goes to the back of the computer. The two pins came away from the cable. What is the size of the plug round I am looking for as a replacement? Assume that there is a standard fitting of Toshiba.

  The right size to upgrade as the memory is 128 MB. He got 64 MB it's 2 x 32 MB. I guess we're soldered in, but I can remove the other 32 MB and put the 128.

  Are these modules memory square-shaped?
  Finally, a link to the service manual would be very helpful.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It's really an old unit and it is not easy to find a lot of information. I found the info that this device can use 160MO max. Module of RAM compatible RAM are:
  16 MB PA2039U
  PA2040U 32 MB
  48 MB PA2041U
  128 MB PA2042U
  I don t really know where is placed expansion slot memory but check the underside first. Otherwise, that it may also be placed under the keyboard.

  Replacement of plug power is a bit complicated, and in this case I can't help you at all.

  In any case good luck with your oldie!

  Hello

  the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
  I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

  Is there something available?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello!

  AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
  It seems to be a bit tricky

  Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

• Satellite L300-A13 - how to replace the HARD drive?

  I need to replace my drive hard because I got a disc error and I could hear noises from him. Someone knows the size of the current hard drive replace (either 3.5 SATA or whatever it is)?

  No space memory but actual size, so it can fit inside my computer and someone know a tutorial to replace by yourself?

  Hello

  To replace the HARD drive, you need a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface. These 3.5 HARD drive you want to say are only for desktop PC s peut t used in laptops to buy a 2.5 so one.

  But it makes no difference which manufacturing you buy the HARD drive or the size. Just look for a 2.5 HARD drive SATA interface.

  Replace the drive is pretty easy: just remove the two screws on the underside of the cover of the HARD drive. You can exchange it.
  I know because I have the same laptop. ;)

• Satellite Pro 4290: How to solve the problem of error IDE #1

  I recently purchased a DVD - ROM drive to put my optical drive Sat Pro 4290 a CD in DVD - ROM. As suspects, I am the problem if the drive is not recognized and get error IDE #1.

  I can get windows XP to recognize the disk by deleting the secondary IDE channel in the material and then look up the new material again. Then installs the IDE channel and then detects and installs the DVD-ROM and works very well. I restart the computer laptop and back to square one!

  I understand that it is something to do with the settings of the motherboard and someone has solved this welding pins in different locations on the IDE connectors.

  I don't want to risk it and I was wondering if anyone finds an easier way to do it?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  > I understand it's something to do with the settings of the motherboard and someone has solved this welding pins in different locations on the IDE connectors.

  Set to true if not 100%. This isn't a matter of adjustment on the motherboard, but the setting of the CD/DVD drive.
  The Player supports different master\slave\c-salt settings and if they are not compatible BIOS does not correctly recognize drive.

  On external hard drives (for desktop) it s possible to change these settings by changing the jumper, but it is not possible for readers portable slim.
  Portable settings are stored in the firmware!

  I found various non-legal tools that can change the master/slave/c-salt settings but I wouldn't recommend using it.
  The risks are too high so that the reader will have some damage.

  So, try to replace the drive with a compatible

• Satellite Pro L40 - how to enable the WLan using ConfigFree

  Can you help me?

  My English is bad I do not end.

  The question is:
  My computer is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L40 and I use the ConfigFree for the wireless, but it seems that the WiFi network is disabled.

  Help please!
  I want to know what's wrong

  Thank you!!

  Hello!

  Your wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager, or you may notice a yellow exclamation?
  Her check first because otherwise, you can get the WLAN to work.

  In addition, you can activate WLAN with the material on the laptop switch which must be set on and the FN + F8 key combination.
  Check it!

  After this Free Config should find your WLAN router if you are in the range of that.
