Satellite Pro L870-18R - no boot after upgrade CPU

Hello

Bought the "SATELLITE PRO L870-18R" alongside a "Intel Core i7-3740QM 2.70 GHz FCPGA988 L3 6 MB 4 Cores CPU 2.70 GHz" to upgrade the processor and get a beautiful machine.

Boots of machine as expected with its stock i3, but white LED will blink once and no post when upgrading the processor is applied.
Is their a bios that will support this CPU, otherwise what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

Is their a bios that will support this CPU

BIOS updates are not released to allow new media of CPU, but the BIOS updates are released to fix possible problems for laptop...

If this is not the case, what is the max processor that toshiba will move to. Little bit discouraged, I can't upgrade.

Still is it that manufacturers of mobile phones do not support updates on own laptops... This means that there is no further information on the possible processors and supported.

However, a new processor usually requires a BIOS and chipsets support... so in case you want to make these updates (of course only at your own risk) then you will need to use a CPU that is supported by the Intel Chipset. But there is no guarantee that this notebook would functions even if you use a processor that would be supported by the chipset...

  • What Ram modules are used in the Satellite Pro L870 18R

    HYA

    I m new to this forum so apologies if I posted in the wrong place.
    I just bought a Sat Pro L870 18R for my wife as a Christmas pressy.
    Before she gets to him I was going to increase the Ram of 4 GB to 8 GB.

    I know he has a single stick of ddr3 1600 Mhz in it, but without opening it you know which manufacturer to use Ram Tosh for this machine?

    I like to keep the same manufacturer.
    If I can at least give him a chance to run dual channel. I know I couldn't just take part and look like I m going to have to open it to adapt to the new ram anyway.

    I just i didn t want to keep o he packing and unpacking, and opening and closing upward are a gift after all lol.

    Any help appreciated thnk

    Above all the RAM brand is very important to get the RAM running in dual channel.
    It is important that the two RAM modules will support the same features.

    As far as I know the unit was equipped with a SO-DIMM 4 GB RAM DDR3 1600 module MHz (PC3-12800). I guess the reference is: * PA3918U-1M4G *.

  • Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

    Help

    I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

    This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

    When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

    I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

    Thank you very much

    Mr. Gibbs

    It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

    It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
    It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

    If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
    But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A660 - 10 X - no boot after upgrading RAM 8 GB, but 4 GB + 2 GB only

    Hello

    Today I bought two sticks of Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz CL7 and I'm trying to replace my 2 GB ones, but something is wrong.

    If I put two sticks of 4 GB laptop does not start. I have the latest version of the BIOS (1.80). I have restored the default settings after upgrade.

    But it's quite strange, because if I put a strip of 4 GB and a 2 GB stick system starts and everything is fine (with memtest86 + too). But there is still one thing: 4 GB stick should be rolled in the dock before, above second, 2 GB module. If I reverse cell phone memory will not start again.

    Is - everyone knows how to solve my problem? Is this a BIOS problem? BIOS version which A660 takes in charge the amount of 8 GB of RAM with no problems? I can downgrade from the BIOS, because I don't know if Toshiba help update.

    Thanks in advance.

    Is this exact module the same 4 GB RAM listed on THIS page?

  • Satellite C850 - 13 c turns off after upgrade CPU

    Hello

    I have a Satellite C850 - 13 c with the b820 cpu celeron. I bought a core i5 2450 m to upgrade, but after I installed the new processor, the laptop turns off each time after 30 minutes exactly.

    The problem happens also in bios mode. In the first 30 minutes, the laptop works perfectly but it just closed down without warning.

    Aparently others had the same problem with this laptop model, even with a core i3 cpu upgrade.

    I've tried so far things:

    -Ventilation control system - everything ok, temp is not above 40 ° c
    -Updated bios updated to the latest version
    -People with mobility reduced all the main functions of the cpu in the bios
    -The battery bios reset
    -Tried with AC adapter only, only battery, same result.

    This model just don't treat a larger cpu?
    Please help :(

    So generally the CPU upgrade is not possible with this show you are yourself and any exchange of material is at your own risk only.

    Problem is that Toshiba doesn't any info says on the upgrade of CPU and functionality with different processors. Thanks to a specific design, there is danger of overheating.
    In your case, it is interesting that laptop off after exactly after 30 min.

    Unfortunately I can't help you with this, but this case is very interesting announcement I will continue to follow the discussion. Let's see what other people will write about it.

  • Satellite Pro L870 don't stay on the Toshiba logo forever - no start

    Hi all

    Does anyone know of a problem that could cause a no boot (a few stays on Toshiba logo forever) followed by starting on the second try almost every time on a Toshiba Satellite Pro L870 (Windows 8)?

    Thanks in advance

    The laptop usually performs the POST (power on self-test) while the Toshiba splash screen is visible.
    In power in the self-test, the essential components card mother (i.e. RAM) is enabled.

    I think the POST should not be spent properly and so the laptop hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.

    But unfortunately, I can't say with certainty what part could be affected it could be a RAM problem or a motherboard problem.

  • Satellite Pro L870-172 error 003 when retrieving the recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    Having a devil of a time with this portable darn. So I bought the recovery dvd. tried to boot from the disk and comes with no OS bootable. Thinking it could be a problem with the optical drive, I created a bootable usb key.

    Received the usb key to start

    So I goto Toshiba Recovery Wizard
    Press Yes to say it will wipe the drive.
    Retrieves the software factory default
    In the end, I get an error message

    Error: 003
    Recovery error

    Press ok to start the computer

    You can see the final screen here.
    https://DL.dropboxusercontent.com/s/1fq5yk4t9hjhmk9/2014-09-05%20at%2012.38.PNG?DL=0

    Can anyone help plleeaaaseeee.

    The only thing I can think is that maybe when I created the USB startup key should I copy then disk2 on the stick as well using xcopy.

    I think there are several reasons for the error.
    The recovery media or the hard drive is may be defective. Wrong settings of the BIOS, etc...

    I recommend you to check once more the Toshiba Recovery bootable disc.
    I don t think that there might be a problem with the optical disc drive.
    From my point of view, it could be a bad BIOS setting.

    The Satellite Pro L870-172 has been pre-installed with the system Win 8.
    Please check start secure as well as the UEFI boot mode option in the BIOS.

    Generally, in order to be able to boot from different devices to boot, secure boot must be disabled.

  • Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

    Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
    These things are not normally suddenly?

    Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

    Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

    How is it that a laptop that isn't so old or so cheap does not have to be compatible with Windows 10?

    I guess that in this forum from a user to anyone will be able to answer this question, but from my point of view of a few each notebook / computer manufacturer must decide which models would get additional software support...
    Toshiba released still many laptop models in a short period of time, and in my opinion that it is not easy to provide support for all series laptop... so somewhere it is necessary to make a clear cut...

    But you can still install Windows 10 laptop and I am sure that the system will work perfectly, but probably some portable devices is not available due to lack of software...

  • On Satellite Pro L870-173 keyboard problem

    Some keys have a different meaning, examples

    Space lab = o
    4 = o v4v4
    c = the optioo for a secodon display

    What can I do?
    Is originally a default keyboard?

    The keyboard settings is always the same: German language

    Thank you very much!

    > Do someone has an idea?
    Yes, I have an idea.

    You can confirm my idea connection external USB keyboard to the laptop.
    In case your external keyboard would work correctly, the problem is definitely related to the internal keyboard.

  • HyperMemory on Satellite Pro L870 - 18G

    Hey, I have a Satellite Pro L870 - 18G with equipped with an AMD Radeon HD card 7670 M. I read up on the specs and see that this specific map using HyperMemory who works with the RAM installed on the laptop. I want to install 16 GB of RAM instead of the standard 4 GB installed and so I'm interested how this will affect my graphics.

    According to Toshiba´s description clean it will work this way:
    + 2,048 MB dedicated VRAM. Available graphics memory can be extended with the system memory, with HyperMemory technology: up to 3 823 MB with 4 GB of installed system memory and up to 8 GB of installed system memory 5 871 MB +.

    Where can I see if HyperMemory is enabled and I see the amount of memory the graphics card is currently 'give '?

    null

    Hello

    If you expand the RAM to 16 GB of RAM, the majority could be shared with the graphics card.
    The graphics card driver affects the part of the RAM memory graph automatically, which means that its impossible to change this value manually.

    In case more graphics memory is required, the pilot would share this part automatically.

  • 'Lost' on Satellite Pro L870 webcam

    I bought a SatellitePro L870-171, with factory pre-installed Win 8 64 bit laptop for Christmas gift from my wife.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity to get familiar with the functions and utilities, I found the web camera integrated a few days ago, which produced a self-portrait on the screen! More recently, I tried to find the way to access the camera again as my wife will want to try "Skype".

    I can't locate or obtain a new screen image - no doubt I have pressed the wrong button screen at any given time have disconnected?

    The camera is a USB device. I checked with + Control Panel/Device Manager/imaging devices + and the camera is shown as working properly with his driver as "TOSHIBA Web Camera - HD" - there is no yellow exclamation of warning icon. By clicking on the device and selecting Properties tab indicates the device is working properly. looking at + system devices in Control Panel under USB Controller all seem OK. Looking at + Panel configuration/devices & Printers + does not show a camers. (For some reason, this laptop doesn't have an applciation of camera like on the Win 7 version (don't know why?) when the Toshiba web site is checked.)

    I was looking for Panel start with "camera" and all I get is a list of menu small
    -CameraSettingsUIHost.exe
    -ViewScanners & cameras

    By clicking on the file EXE does nothing.
    It is located in four files when you perform a search in windows for this.
    By clicking on "ViewScanners"... "a dialogue window which should display the devices listed, connected and turned on. -There is nothing showing?

    Click the Add button and crossed in the following windows, but only four manufacturers of cameras in the list, Dell, Kyocera, Lexmark, Xerox - neither of which is Toshiba.

    Can anyone suggest what steps are needed to 'find' the camera again?

    I found on

    a file from Toshiba Web Camera Application < tc30463200a.exe=""> , size 86 MB, for Win 7 32 bit to Win 8 64 bit.

    There are hundreds of laptops listed, but not my specific - the only L870 are «...» L870-ST2N01, L870D-BT2N22, L870-ST2NX1, L870-ST2N02, L870-BT2N22, L870D-ST2NX1... »
