• 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.

  CONCERNING

  Hello

  As far as I know, you can find a lot of applications to test and maintain the fan settings.
  But it is very dangerous because by using this software you change the thermal management of your laptop. These programs are not supported by Toshiba, for any damage caused by this program is not covered by the warranty.

  YOU USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  The only issue is the Toshiba Service partner, but

• 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
  Daniel

  Hello

  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.

• Satellite Pro M30 Bios Update

  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!

• 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.

• 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.

  Good luck!

• 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_!

  Hello

  You do not need to disassemble the laptop.

  You can remove the dust and debris using a jet of compressed air.
  These aerosols can be purchased from the local computer or online dealers.

• 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.

  Hello Michi

  It is not easy to give you accurate information, but if your laptop is the Intel Centrino mobile technology you can use of LAN Mini PCI Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter. I have the same WLAN card and can use WPA and 54mbits data transfer speed.
