Would this work? or if anyone knows of a reader that works id good to know

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Sat Pro A10 has been delivered with 3 different drives - 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB.
  In my opinion the 40 GB is a maximum size of HARD drive support. It is possible that the BIOS could not acknowledge more large drives.

• Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

  Hello.

  I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
  Only, I get a blank screen.
  When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
  Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

  The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

  Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

• Satellite Pro M30 - HDD upgrade up to 160 GB

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M30 and I want to move the hard drive to the maximum size supported.

  As I see from previous posts of the preinstalled bios supports up to 128 GB, so the questions are:

  1A everyone updated bios to support larger sizes (e.g. 160 GB)?

  2. the link suggested for bios updates (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp?service=EU) does not provide an option for the M30 (only M70) series. So what one do I download for M30?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First update the BIOS will not help you get a possibility of using a 160 GB HARD drive.
  The fact is that the M30 Pro Sam has an interface IDE (ATA-5) and this HARD drive controller supports LBA the28bit
  So in my opinion the 160 GB only are not supported.

  By the way;
  You can find the BIOS and the driver for the Pro M30 sitting on the Toshiba driver page.
  But to look for the area of _ARCHIVE_!

• Satellite Pro M10: firmware upgrade DVD UJ - 830 B FW:1.50, HW:1.00 issue

  Hello
  I tried to replace the old DVD/CDRW with UJ - 830B above (FW: 1.50, HW: 1.00) but the result was the mistake of the IDE. It's not recognize it at all in Windows.
  I tried to solder the contact 48 and 49, but the result is the same.

  How can I make work that UJ - 830B (FW: 1.50, HW: 1.00) on the Toshiba M10 Pro?

  Does someone have a solution as the firmware update or some Soldering/desoldering equipment?

  Thank you.

  Concerning

  This is not possible because this software is not placed or published on any of the page Web of Toshiba.

  It is that not all CD/DVD players are compatible with all mobile phones due to different master/slave/c-salt settings.
  That is why it s always advisable to contact the ASP in your country or consult the user manual for details about compatible readers.

  I can you advise to buy only a STRANGE compatible and supported.

• 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?

  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.

• How to Exchange card WLAN on Satellite Pro M10?

  Can I replace my card Wi - Fi, and how?

  Hello

  Usually, wireless network card is placed under the small cover on the bottom of the laptop side or under the keyboard. The Satellite Pro M10, it should be placed under the keyboard.

  Keyboard is on most of the portable computer models set with three small screws, but to view them, you must remove the plastic placed between the keyboard and the display piece. It should be removed very gently. If you have no experience I really don't know if you can do it alone. If you do not do so on the right track, you may damage the plastic cover.

  If you try do these alone be very gently. After removing the screws, remove the keyboard and check where is the WLAN card. When you find the card disconnect both wireless LAN cables (black and white) antenna of the wireless LAN card.
  At least open the left and right latches holding the wireless LAN Board and remove it.

  I hope that this brief description will help you.

• 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 PS630E does not start after upgrading CPU

  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!

• 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?

• 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.
