Satellite Pro L300 - 24L and VGA card update

Hello world

I just have a Satellite Pro L300 - 24L and want to update the VGA Intel 4500 M for a Nvidia Quadro 3D & CAD applications, possibly for the games now an then.
Is this possible and what card can adapt to my L300 - 24L?

I'm really a noob in laptop, so your advice will be welcome heart.
Features: CPU T3400 - 4 GB 800 Mhz HARD drive - 250 GB - Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hello

I want to say clearly that portable computers technology design is not the same as on the desktop and if you have a good experience with desktop computers, you'll know that upgrading the graphics cards is not so problematic, but on laptops, the situation is very different.

Laptops design and construction doesn't allow such flexibility for upgrades, upgrading the graphics card is not possible.

  • Satellite Pro L300-152 and the task bar freezing

    Hello

    The taskbar seems to freeze whenever I use my laptop. I try to click on something like the volume and it freezes, I then gives me the option to restart windows Explorer, close windows Explorer, or waiting for the program to respond. Once it has rebooted the icons for volume and Wi - Fi connection disappear from the lower right corner and are not available through any other means.

    There seems to be no consistency to this incident - it happens when programs are running or not, regardless of how many times I use the laptop either hours or minutes, and there is no delay between the taskbar being insensitive (sometimes it doesn't freeze again, sometimes it freezes just after the restart). I did virus, spyware/adware/mallware scans, clean my laptop, and it had made no difference.

    All I have this problem or knows what could be causing it and how it can be stopped? Any suggestions would be welcome thanks

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    Googling around you will find many forums where people write about this problem of gel. It is obviously related to Microsoft and that there must be a few patches.

  • Satellite Pro L300-128 and battery life

    Hello

    I checked the specifications of this laptop but cannot find the medium-term on a full battery.
    Although this would depend on its use, but what about the generalization? Say, surfing the web, by email or word processing?

    Does anyone know this information? Or suggest that it could be?

    If so, pls reply. Thank you very much!

    G

    Hello

    I think you can run Notepad on the battery power more than one hour.

    But as you have already said, battery working time depends on the use of the laptop. If the battery performance can change always and can be different.

    If you wish, you can extend the performance of battery changing the settings in the power options.
    A stronger battery could also allows to run Notepad as long on battery.

    If you wish, you can visit the European site of Toshiba-> Options & accessories for a stronger battery

    Hello.

    XP and Seven is installed in dual-boot on my laptop and I use EasyBCD to choose which system I want to start.

    To start XP, I need to enable "Compatibility" (Controller SATA in BIOS mode) and seven is "AHCI" must be activated.

    Is there a way for my two OS was started without making changes in the bios?
    Y at - it an update to correct this problem (or alternative)?

    Thank you in advance.
    Marc

    Yes you can do it but I'm afraid, you must reinstall Windows XP Home edition m.
    Why? Because before beginning to install Windows XP Home edition, you must change it to AHCI mode, launch the installation of Windows XP Home edition and before you start you need to load the SATA driver (via F6 I think).

    Long time ago, we have discussed a lot about this on this forum then use the advanced search anc check options other postings on this subject.

    * + Hello + *.

    I have a model Satellite Pro L300-PSLB1E and a XP Professional SP3 on it.

    Hello

    Firstly the Toshiba Power Saver requires the installation of the common Module.
    The common Module for Win XP v1.00.05 can be downloaded from the European pilot page Toshiba.

    So before installing the energy saver, install common Module, restart the computer, and then try the energy saver.

    In addition the Intel PROSet/Wireless Software can be used only with the Intel Wlan card.
    Is the laptop supports the Intel wireless network adapter?

    AFAIK the L300 series can be equipped with a Realtek, Atheros and Intel Wlan card

  • 8 issues of the new owner of the Satellite Pro L300

    Hello to all forum users!

    I bought a new Toshiba, the Satellite Pro L300 laptop and have until January 14 to test - if it looks like it is not working properly I will return it to the store where I bought it.

    Here is a list of questions I have:

    1. whenever I turn on the laptop or it is suspension or hibernation mode, and when I disable it, the cd/dvd drive makes a clumsy mechanical noise.

    It seems to me like the cart that transports the laser and optics is running in a mechanical stop.

    Is this normal?

    2. There is a hot sub-pixel on the screen (in blue) and according to the Toshiba info in the box, this is normal and does not return.

    Should I worry about this?

    3. when I run the test memory at the start of the system, she says she'll start windows automatically at the end of the trial and show me the results of the test.

    It performs the test, Vista boot, but I see no reports of results.

    Where can I find the report?
    Is there a known issue with this test?

    4. the service program Toshiba to perform diagnostics of slot Vista does not work. Whenever I run the test (PCdiag.exe) I get an error message Vista saying a defect was found in the KERNEL32.dll module.

    Where can I get a fix for this?
    I have already installed the updated files on the Toshiba web site for the "Value Pack", which is where this utility, but still not the error message.

    5. I want access the settings of the bios at startup, but have not found a way to do it again.
    F2 gives me a menu for memory test or normal boot system.
    ESC is not me in bios Setup either.
    There is a utility for bios Toshiba that I can run Vista, and I see that any upgrade bios firmware should also be done through Vista.

    Is there a way to access bios at startup?

    6. I would like to run XP on this system and realized that this model (Pro L300 PSLB1E) is compatible XP, and I should be able to download all the drivers from Toshiba to run under XP.

    Does anyone do this?

    7. the laptop and configured Vista Basic when I did the first power on, but the license sticker on the bottom of the laptop has a product key for "Vista OEMAct Business." I was captivated by this laptop as the option to revert to XP Pro with Vista business. The box did not come with any CD or DVD and no manuals explaining how to install Vista Business.

    This is reason enough to return the laptop in the store where I bought it, which is a chore, I prefer to avoid if I can install Vista Business.

    Can someone help me understand what is happening here?

    8. is there a way to contact technical support by e-mail?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer all of these questions!

    Hello

    Two weeks ago, I worked several days on friends Satellite Pro L300. Your questions are interesting and I will try to provide an answer or comment.

    1 this is normal behavior. I noticed it on other models of computer laptop too. Right now I use Satellite P200D and I noticed the same thing.

    2. of course, you may have noticed a dead on the screen pixel and more on what you can read on
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ8702EI0000R01.htm

    3. maybe follow links can help a better understanding:
    http://web1.Toshiba.ca/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB001369.htm
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial146.html

    4. what to say about this? I t has not noticed this error and I can recommend just reinstall full VAP. Remove preinstalled system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

    5. When you start the laptop downstairs you can find info how to enter the BIOS settings. It usually takes F2. I really don't understand what is wrong in your case, but must work F2. Press immediately after turning on your laptop. Press several times. You have to work

    6. If you can find the download page of drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba Windows XP Home edition, you should be able to install and configure Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop. For the installation of Windows XP edition family please use Windows XP SP2 home edition.

    7. This must be clarified with your local dealer. The fact is that Toshiba doesn t offer any CD/DVD and recovery DVDs must be created by the owner of the laptop. I presume that you didn t seen or read Toshiba reminder about it. This point explains exactly what needs to be done.
    The recovery media can be created using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator. The shortcut is placed on the desktop.

    8. I'm afraid, you must contact the hotline, but as far as I know Toshiba's toll-free hotline.
    Call and ask if there is something you want to know.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L670-18F - pilots missing after updating BIOS

    I have a Satellite Pro L670-18F and I recently updated the BIOS to version 1.5, recommended by the site, but now my internet speed is VERY slow and I have some devices in the Device Manager without drivers related to the bios (from Googling) and so I realized that the bios has been a problem.

    Does anyone know this laptop came with to downgrade the BIOS version? Also, if I reinstall windows will I receive a new bios version or will it would not affected?

    Hey,.

    Did you download and install the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop? Satellite Pro L670-18F belongs to the series of PSK3FE AFAIK, so have you chosen BIOS for this series of model?

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Just press F9 key if you are in the BIOS Setup.

    If you reinstall Windows, the BIOS will not be affected. BIOS and Windows are different, you will always have the latest version of the even you change your operating system.

  • Driver XP SATA for Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E

    Hi all I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 PSLB9E and I am trying to downgrade from Vista to XP. I have the sata AHCI controller mode, I looked for this drivers on the toshiba site and the site of intel, but none of these work when installing xp and pressing f6 when you use a usb floppy drive. Any ideas?

    Hello

    If you have set the compatible SATA mode in the BIOS, then you n t need to install all the drivers SATA!
    Compatibility mode allows you to run the HARD drive without SATA drivers.

    But if you want to use the HDD in SATA mode, then you will set back to AHCI.
    In this case the SATA drivers must be installed in order to use the HDD in SATA mode.

    The laptop seems to be equipped with the AMD CPU and so you need a SATA chipset AMD driver. That are in the package of graphics (record SBDrv/SATA") driver

  • Satellite Pro L300 - CD burning problem

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300 laptop and I have problems with the CD's I created.

    Any software I use Nero, Toshiba etc I still get the same problem. The created disc will play on the laptop, but not in my home Hi-Fi, the reader will recognize the disk, how much tracks etc. but does not play. I use discs without brand that worked with my old desktop computer Dell & Sony DVD player.
    I can also not less than 10 x using nero burning speed,

    I use usually 4 x.
    The operating system is Windows XP.
    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Satellite Pro L300 - using partition magic

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 laptop and I would like to make an additional partition next to the C: drive already existing and the hidden partition. I created the recovery discs and I want to use the magic of partition for the partitioning process (no new installation of windows xp). Can someone tell me if using partition magic will have adverse effect on the eventual recovery from disks created?

    Thanks in advance

    Usually you can do with Windows option in disk management, but can you please tell me something first?

    You are using Vista or Windows XP Home edition? I ask this question because if you use Vista preinstalled HARD drive must have already two partitions. Please check in Windows Explorer.

    Hidden partition is described as an EISA (WinRE) partition?

  • Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

    Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

    My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

    This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
    For the management of the display function keys
    Access to the system tray
    Wizard TV

    I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

    Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

    Hello

    Thanks for this second info...

    > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
    Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

    As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
    Perhaps, it has not been approved...

    However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
    I'll check it too on my laptop.

    See you soon
