• Satellite Pro M30 Bios error resource conflict - bios setting change or boot

  Hello.

  My beginning of portable satellite M30 with a bios error. The error that says "resource conflict, the bios setting change or start" If select 'start' the computer crashes before windows starts completely. I have remove the wi - fi and modem module and the same error message. I can't update the bios because the windows start. The bios version is 1.7. The laptop is the UK version. If select "Edit the bios", beginning of the bios but I can't find any resources management.

  (Sorry for my English, I'm from the Spain)

  Hello

  I think the bios error change setting means that you need to access the BIOS and should set the BIOS default settings.

  Please to do this, save the settings and try to start!

• Satellite Pro M30 - where to get the new motherboard

  I have a sat SPM30 Pro PSM35E-0023J-FR model with a video fault.
  Anyone know where I could get a new motherboard?

  If anyone has a similar model with other damage that they might want to sell on. All I really need is the motherboard.

  Hello

  New parts can be ordered from the local ASP.
  But be aware that a new motherboard is not good cheap. You will need for a replacement of the mobo 300Euros.
  I think that it s not worth buying a new motherboard because you could add a few Euros and might get a new laptop.

  However, you can view some websites like Ebay for example a satellite M30/Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. Perhaps you could get a second hand mobo

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro M30: three "soft-buttons" don't work

  Satellite pro m30 there are three buttons that I can attribute using the toshiba software. Or Toshiba installed by default programs or my programs are put into service after a change more: should I reinstall something?

  Hans

  The Toshiba control utility is responsible for these buttons.
  But first of all I recommend to check the settings in the properties of controls on Toshiba. This can you find in the control panel.
  There you can configure the buttons.

  If it doesn't help, then I recommend to reinstall these applications.

• Satellite Pro M30 - NVIDIA graphics controller problem

  Hello everyone

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a Nvidia GeForce FX graphics controller. ([Image of the motherboard | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC3.jpg])

  My problem is when I turn on the PC and wait a few seconds red and white vertical stripes begins to appear on the LCD and it cannot go after the BIOS password screen. I can type the BIOS password but when I hit OK or button that ENTER the laptop freezes. ([See image 2 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC2.jpg])

  In very rare occasions where the laptop was turned off for a long time, I listen to him on and he could overcome the BIOS password screen but freezes after a while: ([see Image 3 | http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh242/hardousss/PC1.jpg])

  I plugged it to an external monitor and nothing has changed.
  I removed the inverter (responsible for the lightning of the LCD screen) and the problem is still there.

  Always to blame the graphics chip from NVIDIA.
  I read here that it is not possible to replace them because they are soldered to the motherboard. But I want to, where can I get a laptop NVIDIA graphics chip. They sell somewhere?
  I have a friend who works in an electronics manufacturing company (SAGEM) and told me that they have the tools needed to replace any piece on any Board of Directors.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello, my friend

  I agree with you. It must be a faulty graphics card. I put t believe you can buy a graphics chip separately but you can buy mainboard used laptop on eBay. In my view, Exchange Board is no problem for you.

• Screen jumping and overheating issues on my Satellite Pro M30

  Hey everybody!

  I have a Satellite Pro M30, the screen seems to wobble a bit, probably due to a loose hinge. Can you please help me with this problem?
  In addition, my laptop seems to overheat, how do I clean the dust to stop overheating?

  Thank you

  Hi mate!
  For the screen issue. As it is a hardware thing, I suggest that contact you a local ASP. Of course, you can try by yourself to this problem, but I can say from my own, fitting the screen isn't the easy thing to do on your own, if you have no experience in that.

  To clean your laptop from dust, you can use compressed air jet. Also make sure the cooling modules are not blocked by objects on your table, because if you've blocked, warm air ponds and cannot be updated.

• Satellite Pro M30 - real time clock shows wrong time

  Hello!

  most of the time I am using my Toshiba satellite pro m30 without the battery with the energy of the power system. the battery is stored somewhere outside of the computer for a month the real time clock shows a bad time if the computer is started after a period of time.

  I think my cmos battery is going to die soon.

  someone has an idea, how this cmos battery can be changed by myself?

  Thank you
  Reinhard

  Hello Reinhard

  I agree with you. It is time to replace the CMOS battery. It is not easy and the machine must be dismantled. If you are not familiar with the procedure for disassembly, it can be dangerous. A small mistake can result with damaging material.

  If you want to do it alone, you do so at your own risk. Be sure to use the right battery. Maybe you won't believe, but if you use a battery hurt it could cause battery explosion, or other damage.

  I'm not 100% sure, but the RTC battery must be placed on the left side near the touch pad. If you want to only please be very gently. The laptop parts are very sensitive.

• Satellite Pro M30 graphics works not when the driver is installed

  Hi all

  I m having problems with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a portable Satellite Pro M30, (processor Intel Pentium M 1.7 GHz, 512 MB Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the laptop stops.

  I formatted the laptop and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the driver VGA, I restarted the laptop, but black screen started to come right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The laptop continues to start up but no screen.

  It starts fine in safe mode. I get my best screen simply by disabling the geforce card or uninstall the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA on the download from Toshiba site, but same problem appears. I also tried the BIOS update but nothing happens.

  Can someone help me?

  It's very strange question. It will be really interesting to know if this happens when you use the CD delivered recovery facilities.

  In any case, I assume that there is a problem with the LCD display. In safe mode, the desktop appears in the resolution decreases but the resolution to the OS boot will be suitable for a standard (1280 x 800), and of course, there is the problem.

  I am not a technician, but I recommend you contact the Service partner. AFAIK they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

• Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

  Hello

  The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

  Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

  Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

  Thank you in advance,

  Andrejs

  (You can also contact me private my e-mail address)

  Hi Andrew

  > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
  I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
  This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

  I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
  To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
  In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
  So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

  I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
  HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
  HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2188B-> 80 GB
  HITACHI G8C0000Z610-> 60 GB
  HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2183-> 60 GB
  TOSHIBA HDD2184-> 60 GB

  I hope this might help you a little!

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro m30: battery saver screen

  I have a satellite pro m30. with a Geforce x Go5200

  When I turn my laptop on its obscurity. I aways use power outlet. never just battery. I have to go in the setting every time I turn on. is the way to save all the settings

  Hi Dennis,

  Using the Toshiba power management or standard options of Microsoft?

  I would recommend the Toshiba utility, as this will allow you to set various options, including the brightness of the display.

  You should be able to set options for power supply and power of the battery of your choice, then save them so that they will be called automatically when you start your laptop.

  Power options are available from the control panel.

  My comp is Satellite Pro M30-873. He has only 512 MB of main memory.
  I want to spend 1 to 2 GB. Recommended memory is Kingston KTT3311
  which is extremely difficult to buy. A very similar memory of Kingston is KVR333X64SC25.

  It is fully compatible with M30? Anyone tried?

  Thaks a lot in advance

  Hello

  Your laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible 1 GB of RAM except the number PA3313U-1M1G. Use this number for Google search.
  I hope you find somewhere. This module may not be more expensive so I recommend buying 2 of them and the upgrade of RAM maximum.

• Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and just changed to Windows 7. But put him Nvidia card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik 64 MB of RAM is not working properly.

  I could find a Vista driver and installed, have Aero + photos on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.

  Can someone help me?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I m a bit confused; you have some problems with the graphics card or with the webcam?

  I assume you mean on external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
  What happens if you connect the webcam to the laptop? Can win 7 recognize the device? Have you installed additional drivers for this webcam?
  Most of the time it s necessary to do so because I think that it s not Plug & Play device.

  > Everything is OK, but I have problems withs pilots 'SD card driver ". I can't find something that works... I tried with WinXP old ones, but do not work

  Win XP drivers do not work with Win 7, but you should try some drivers for Vista.
  Try some drivers released for other series...

  Also try this:

  You can go to Device Manager-> properties-> Details tab SC card reader

  You can find something like that.

  FRI means provider
  DEV: device

  Then, you can find the identification numbers using this database of the PC:

• Satellite Pro M30 - download drivers?

  Hello world

  I hope someone is able to help me:

  I tried to find the drivers for my laptop on this site here, given that my original CD with the top drivers is lost. I was able to get to the section pilots where I entered the serial number of my laptop. After that, I get redirected to a website, which appeared to store everything you need for the Toshiba Satellite Pro M30. Unfortunately, it didn't show the "loading circle', no matter which section, I tried to access (for example"manuals"or"drivers", etc.).
  Then, I hit up the forums and read on 'archive', in which the drivers and other utilities for older, obsolete laptops are available. Unfortunately, this article was not available at all.
  In addition, my research efforts on Google didn't get anywhere.
  Could someone tell me what I have to do to get your hands on these drivers or, where there is not such an option, download me these drivers (for example on Megaupload.com) pack?
  I would be forever indebted to anyone some.

  Thanks in advance!
