Satellite Pro L630 - 14L - CPU upgrade possible?

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 - 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 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.

  • Satellite Pro L630-12F constantly read hard drive

    My laptop 2 months old, satellite pro L630-12F, running windows 7, just started to constantly read the hard drive in windows. The light is still on. When I try to do something, it takes forever-. for example, click on the start menu. Wait a minute, while the cirlce thing appears and the start menu.

    If I do too much hard drive starts to make a ticking noise and possibly a BSOD appears and it restarts.

    If I try to stop or restart it takes forever to do.

    When I go into safe mode, it just does the same thing.

    Any suggestions as to what is happening and how I can fix this problem?

    Hello
    At first I thought that the constantly HARD drive activity can be because of preinstalled McAffe and HDD scan but this info on ticking noise and possibly a BSOD is really strange and I'm afraid that there must be another reason m.

    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day or later?
    It will be interesting to know if the same behavior is with its own OS preinstalled. Can you install new OS by using recovery image and test it with the factory settings?

    In the worst case I mean that the HARD disk must be exchanged.

  • Satellite Pro L630-12: the Ethernet controller v v. WLAN network card

    Basic questions:
    My Satellite Pro L630-12F has (A) an Atheros AR8151 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and (B) Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter.
    Toshiba continues regularly informing me that a Wireless Lan Driver update was released, which I need to install.

    First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

    I have check the versions on my machine of both (A) and (B) with the PC diagnostic tool and find that (B) is the latest version (5.60.48.35) and (A) is a very old version (1.0.0.26). I download the latest version (9.2.0.316.0) of "Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter" for my machine from the Wireless LAN Driver download page (Windows 7 (64)) and run the file. But, everywhere I look, my machine continues to say that the version of (A) is (1.0.0.26).

    Second question: am I update the Ethernet Atheros controller when I download and run the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter?
    If Yes, then why doesn't it show the latest version information?

    Sorry for the basic questions, but I found no explanations in various forums on the difference between 'ethernet controller', 'network card' and 'Wireless LAN' after searching several times. I'm afraid that Toshiba keeps informing me that I don't have the latest version of the wireless LAN driver despite my efforts to follow their instructions.

    > First question: is Wireless LAN Ethernet controller driver or the network card?

    Ethernet controller can be both; WLan and LAN in your case I guess that WLan is Ethernet controller, it would seem if the WLan driver is not installed

    Your laptop L630-12F seems to bear card Broadcom BCM94313 WLan and the driver can be found here:

    > Am updated the Ethernet Atheros controller when I download and run the Atheros Wireless LAN Adapter?

    This is driver LAN!

    Hello

    I think the problem is the Trojan horse you had. It was probably something has changed on the access to the files/folders. If you can t remove the Trojan with Antivirus software, you must reinstall the whole operating system. Therefore, you can use the recovery disk as described here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    > I got it just TWO MONTHS!
    Who makes no difference, how is the laptop. This viral infection can happen after a few days and it s depending on your antivirus software you use, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the brand of laptop.

    So I have been serching for a laptop of decent game and found: Toshiba Satellite Pro L670 - 14L to be a good combination power/price

    is that mean Toshiba is not compatible Vista more? I have to use windows 7 only?

    I can see in the specifications of the laptop your laptop came with WIN7 64 BITS HOME PREMIUM.
    Can you confirm this?

    I want to say Win7 is much better than old Vista OS so I put t understand what you exactly want. To use Vista or you ask here for more recent WIn7 display driver?

    Hello Sean

    To be honest after reading your ad, I can't say with certainty what can be the problem. The fact is that, in most cases, it takes work and if there is not a small problem.

    In the past, I have connected several laptops from Toshiba on my BRAVIA LCD TV and everything went well every time. On television, you must enable HDMI port you use. If you have more HDMI ports do not forget the right turned to television.

    On the other hand, if your TV is recognized by your laptop when you press FN + F5, you should see several options there. You see it or just one option (LCD)?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your laptop (original drivers)?
    Have you tried using different HDMI cables?

    Hello

    Have you noticed the problem even if the laptop is not connected to the network and if you want to load your user profile on Windows 7?

    If this isn't the case, then I guess that it has something to do with the network, and in this case, I recommend asking the network administrator for a few suggestions.

    Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite Pro A10 CPU? What processors are supported?

    Hello

    Usually the CPU upgrade is not possible on laptops because of several reasons.
    But as far as I know that this camera was supplied with three different processors:
    Intel Celeron P4 - M (Mobile) 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz and 2.4 GHz
    Well, I put t know if the CPU was only connected or soldered onto the motherboard.

    Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?

    I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

    You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.

    Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Have you read that some threads here in the forum on the CPU upgrade opportunities?
    Do this!

    Always is it that upgrading the CPU is not easy for example on desktop computers.
    The BIOS is always different and modified by the manufacturers of cell phones.
    So even if the chipset allows you to upgrade the CPU, there is a question whether BIOS would deal with this new processor. If these upgrades are always risky.

    The laptop uses the Mobile Intel 943GML Chipset

    To check what processors are therefore supported by the chipset:
    http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/309219.PDF

    Here on page 30, you can find this:
    + All features supported by Mobile Intel 940GML / GM Express Chipset must be supported.
    + Chipset Intel 943GML Express unless otherwise stated below. +

    _ Support for processor + _
    + Intel® processor A100 and A110 on 90 nm process with 512 KB L2 Cache 400 - MHz +.
    + front side bus (FSB) support +.

    Hi mate

    I agree with Akuma.
    Update CPU is very difficult. The fact is that even if the chipset would support the new processor, it is really hard to tell if the BIOS would be able to manage the new processor.

    So, in the worst cases, the BIOS will not work with a new game and wouldn't boot the laptop.

    But why you want to replace the CPU in L755? This new model of notebook with a good processor.
    Even if you want to put a new processor, you will not notice big performance push so I think CPU upgrade is not really necessary in your case.

    NB: only in documents from toshiba, the CPU seems to be fully compatible with Satellite PRO M10

    Hey Buddy,

    Just a quick question: you know that upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba?
    With other words, it means that no one can tell if another CPU works correctly, and if you can use the higher speed.

    I guess if you can use t as the higher speed, the CPU is not taken in charge and that s a limitation of the card motherboard/BIOS.
