Satellite Pro M30 and eSATA
Hi all
I recently bought the external drive western digital mybook premium ARE. This disc has an eSATA (external SATA) port.
The problem is that my satellite pro m30 (model #: psm35e0021jar) is not the external SATA port. I found an ADDONICS (eSATA, ExpressCard 34) and another similar product from SIIG (eSATA II Express Card).
The question is:
1.) these products going to be compatible with my fairly old laptop?
2.) is the hard drive of my laptop SATA technology is or what?
(3.) what brand of motherboard used in my laptop?
Thanks in advance and I cannot wait for the answers.
Hello
1.) these 3 products of third parties are not known to me, but as you know the Satellite Pro M30 does not support a SATA interface and if you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you will need to use the HARD disk with interface IDE (ATA-5) increased.
(2.) No, as indicated above the laptop supports the IDE and not SATA
(3.) the Satellite Pro M30 using motherboards Toshiba ;)
A hint; If you have a SATA HDD, you can use it as a external HARD drive. This HARD disk can be connected via external USB sata controller.

Hello Sebastian
Is maybe your laptop full of dust and must be cleaned.
After cleaning it laptop can take a new breath and material can be cooled properly.
With an air cooling pure grill will not be blocked traffic and the fan may operate at high speed.
Once this laptop runs much more silent than before.What do you think?

Satellite Pro M30 - compatible DVD players
Hello
I have a Satellite Pro M30 and the optical block has problems, recognizing most of my DVDs.
I want to change the drive, does anyone know which are the models compatible with this machine?
The real player is Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112.Thank you
DanielHello
As far as I know this unit has DVD +-R/RW (DualDrive) and in my opinion the best solution is to swap it with the same. On this way, you will be sure that everything works correctly.
Unfortunately, there is no public document on the hardware upgrade and just Toshiba service partners can tell you more about it.
Good bye

Hello
I have a satellite pro m30 and I would like to make a bios update. Utility hardware Toshiba says that my bios version is 1.4. The existing updates see 1.2, 1.6, but it says nothing about 1.4.
Should I take 1.6?
Any help?
Thank you
Hello
It might be possible that the BIOS version 1.4 is the version of BIOS default manufacturer for this model.
In my opinion you should take the 1.6 version because it is the most recent and it may be necessary!
Here is the link: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
go to Support & Download - Download BIOS - choose your M30 SP and click for the Description of BIOS for more information!Bye Bob

Toshiba satellite pro m30 USB problem
I have toshiba satellite pro m30 and HP scanjet 4600 scanner.when I connect the scanner directly to the notebok with its ' original usb cable there is no problem. But if I connect the scanner to the laptop with a laptop usb extension cable cannot initialize the scanner. There is no problem if I connect the scanner to the VAIO laptop with usb extension cable. What can I do?
Hello
could you describe the difference between the original USB cable and the USB extension cable?
The laptop and the printer works correctly with the original USB cable, but it seems that the extension USB cable is an inexpensive which does not fulfill the technical specifications and the laptop has a problem with this issue.
To solve the problem in my opinion you could do an update of the BIOS, look if for your printer is a new driver available and reinstall the USB drivers.
Also, you could test whether USB, the same problem occurs with other cables.
Bye Bob

How can I reset password BIOS on Satellite Pro M30?
Hello!
I have a portable Satellite Pro M30 and my son has changed my bios password and now I can't even start it! How can I reset the bios? Where is the bios battery out of MB, then reset as in desktop? Is there a jumper for the deal if all else fails? What should I try?
Thank you all in advance.
John.
Hello John
Remove the CMOS battery didn't help much. If the removal of the BIOS can be so easy, remove the password on the stolen units may be too simple. Please don? t wait that these information will be posted here.
You can contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. They will remove password for you.

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_!Concerning

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 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.
