• Satellite Pro M10 HDD Upgrade - how will work?

  Hello

  I have a question I have a Satellite Pro M10 (PS630E-G207W-GR) and I want to change the hard drive to a 120 GB + HARD drive so I called the Supporthotline because I need the Windows CD and they mean that would work with a new HARD drive, because the Bios does not the new HARD drive, and he was not told why. Now the question is, if it works with an update of the bios, or if maybe there is already a person here with a working 100 GB + HDD from the laptop.

  and sorry for my very bad English

  Hello

  If you are not satisfied with the answers provided by the support, you can also try to communicate with several independent services for hardware upgrade. As far as I know, they are able to manipulate the BIOS to work with hard disks are not supported. Maybe this solution is for you.

  At least on this forum, you can find topics where users of laptops repost on an improvement of HARD drive (more than 100 GB) successfully with older models as your M10. You can order 120 GB of HARD drive and try to use it. If this does not work you can send it back. To do this, you have about 14 days. Test it!

• Satellite Pro M10 attempted to upgrade processor

  I really don' t know how solve this problem... can someone help me please?

  Bios version 1.50, version of the firmware 83,72, 23/05/2003 date of the bios.
  Thanks for advantage

  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.

  Hello

  Unfortunately I have not found any information that would confirm that this drive is compatible.
  But I found this Slim SelectBay DVD Multi drive: PA3231E-1DV1

• Satellite Pro M10 PS630E does not start after upgrading CPU

  I tried to install a new processor for my Toshiba Satellite Pro M10-PS630E.
  He initially has a 1500, I tried to put a 1766.

  I follow the maintenance manual, later the computer change is not star upward.
  When I connet to power it show that the luminous power of orange/amber color and make 5 flashes, then 3 and then restart blinking.

  My question is "is it posible to do a reset of the bios parametrers" or "reset the CMOS?
  Is it possible to get it working again.

  Hello

  The flashing light means that it has detected a hardware problem on the motherboard!
  Perhaps you have used a wrong CPU and is not compatible.

  Perhaps the BIOS does not support this processor and therefore this flashing error code appears.

  What say you can't update the BIOS! First of all, that's not possible since only focused on the victory of BIOS is available for download. You must run the Windows operating system to update the BIOS.
  Secondly the update of the BIOS won't help you with this problem!

  You must use a CPU that is fully compatible!

• HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10

  Hello

  I want to exchange the hard drive of my Satellite Pro M10. Can someone tell me what drives can I use? On ebay, I found a disk HARD 160 GB fot this model, but in the manual they talked only about 30 GB, 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.

  Thanks for any help!

  Your old laptop IDE interface for the connection of HARD drive, so I think you can use max 120 GB HARD drive.
  It should be enough for this oldie? Do you agree with me?

• Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

  This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

  Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

  However, under Driver Details is said:
  C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

  I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
  whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

  Thanks in advance for any help.
  Chris

  Hello

  If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

• Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

  Hi all

  My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
  It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
  The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
  Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
  Thank you very much.

  Concerning
  J

  As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

  As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

  The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

• Re: Satellite Pro M10 - strange Boot problem

  Hello.

  My Satellite Pro M10 has developed a strange problem. It will power with its installed hard drive.

  The yellow light beside of the plug symbol starts flashing. When there is no hard drive not connected, or another hard drive from another trendy laptop it starts fine?

  Please help, thanks in advance,

  Destro

  I don't know how to help you. HARD drive changes and everything will be ok.

  Is - this original hard drive that you got with your laptop?

• How to remove the password of BIOS on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi guys,.

  I searched all over the web to find an answer, but has no success. So I really hope one of you can help out me.

  I have a very old Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 with 512 MB in it. The laptop is protected by a BIOS password that I know. However, the problem is that I want to remove the password of BIOS completely. I know this isn't a big deal, but I find it annoying to type the BIOS password over and over again. Mostly because I am preparing this old lady for my oldest daughter. Furthermore, I just installed Windows 7 and it works well, but I have all the original software Toshiba, for example the HW configuration utility. I expect the download somewhere on the net, but unfortunately this is not as simple as that.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Thank you

  Jeroen

  Hey Buddy,

  It is easy to remove the BIOS password. Follow the instructions posted by Al - eX.
  As new password just enter anything and then the password is removed.

  I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on Satellite Pro M10. It is a very old book, and in my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice.
  In addition there are no downloads available for this model and Windows 7 on Toshiba page

• Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

  Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

  I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

  My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

  Hello

  I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
  This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
  As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

• HARD drive external for Satellite Pro M10

  Hello!!

  I would buy an external USB HDD to my computer, but I don't know if I can buy anyone. USB 2.0 is not, but I think that only touch the speed of transfer, no?

  BIOS version 1.50

  I find this HARD disk, it'll work?

  http://www.Maxtor.com/portal/site/Maxtor/MenuItem.6adb6b8313633595062e6be791346068/?channelpath=/en_US/products/external%20Storage/Maxtor%20Basics%20Family

  Thnx

  Hello

  Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
  I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
  It should work.
  But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

  However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive

• Satellite Pro M10 displays the characters currupt at startup

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 that collapsed. When the system boots, the Toshiba logo seems to have a few points here and there. When displaying messages on the screen during startup, the characters seem corropted. For example, the message "Insert system disk", I and T of the insertion of the word seems to be half upper ASCII characters. The system S is the "less than or equal to sign." and the k of the scratch disk is {.} I already did the following:

  -tried to start with one of my two memory card and I tried the two memory cards.
  -swapped my memory card.
  -reloaded windows and Linux

  I have dropped it once but worked OK for a month after I dropped it. I deleted the operating system, but now seems to have problems to load a CD operatig system (CD works OK). Anyone have an idea what is wrong?

  Thank you
  Peter Loo

  Hello

  You suggested that the cell phone dropped twice.
  Well, you can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop to see if it s a screen failure or malfunction of the graphics card.

  You have problems with the installation of the OS? Maybe there's something wrong with the disk and the HARD disk. But maybe only loses connection is responsible for the problems. Check the pins.

  It is possible that the screen and other devices was damage due to falling down.

• Satellite Pro M10 Fn + F5 does not not after login?

  Im hoping someone can help me. IM totally confused.
  Im a projector off a Satellite Pro M10 running. The Fn + F5 works perfectly all the way up to the CTRL - ALT - DELETE prompt. Even at this stage, I can still Fn - F5 and look through the settings. As soon as I connect the FN - F5 does nothing? I deleted all monitors, reinstalled the video card with the latest driver and installed the key utility function of the device from the website?
  I guess it must be something with the display settings once the user connects, but I can't get out? I tried to take the setting down to the basic 16-bit and 800 x 600, but it makes no difference?
  Any help or pointers would be helpful?
  Thank you
  Mark

  Hello

  Sorry, but tells you is a little confuse.
  The FN + F5 combination allows to switch between display devices. You can choose an external monitor, TV etc.
  If you want to use the FN keys, you need to install the driver Toshiba display Utility (change of display device) and change the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

  These two applications are responsible of the correctly using the FN + F5 option.
  The graphic display driver has nothing to do with the FN + F5 keys.

• Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

  I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

  Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

  Hi Hannah,

  The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

  This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

  This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

  Kind regards
