• Satellite Pro M30 - error message: the user is not authorized to update BIOS

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite Pro M30 of second hand. This one has the Bios 1.30... I would like to install the bios v1.70.

  I am running Windows XP Pro SP3 and tried first update in Windows.
  I however got the message "the user is not allowed to update BIOS.

  This message is quite surprising given that I have administrator privileges.

  I read that you can use a floppy disk to update, but I did not...

  So, is it possible to update the Bios with the CD?

  See you soon,.
  R.S.

  Hello

  I checked the page European driver of Toshiba and found the version of BIOS 1.7 WIN in the field of ARCHIVES.

  As you can see, it's a version of BIOS Windows and not a traditional version of the BIOS (trad BIOS can be updated using the diskette).
  This BIOS win can be improved only from a running OS Win.

  In any case, I see that you have installed SP3. It could have a bad influence on the update of the BIOS.
  Then maybe you should try to update the BIOS without SP3 installed?

  Remove SP3, download the good BIOS, unzip correctly and then try to run the BIOS update file.

  _Ps: If you laptop then runs without problem a BIOS update is not necessary! _

• Satellite Pro M30 series deactivates the WLan connection

  I have an old Satellite Pro M30 series. Whenever I turn on the wireless signal, the computer closes its doors.
  I assume that the driver's latest version.

  I'm not known for that Yes, there is someone out there who can advise me on where to find the latest driver and install it.

  Assuming this is the problem.

  Thank you
  Gibbsey

  > spend a lot of time on the wireless signal, the computer closes its doors.

  What do you mean exactly by farm down?
  The laptop turns off automatically once the WiFi (switch) card is turned on?

  I put t think this would cause obsolete WLan driver, this sounds like a hardware problem.
  In case it of not possible to use the internal WiFi card, I recommend to use an external USB WiFi dongle.
  Would be the best option

  PS: all the drivers for old Toshiba laptops are placed on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.
  You will need to search the archives (in the product Type click Archive) for a list of the old series of laptop computer.

• Satellite Pro M30: rim around the screen is broken

  I have a problem with the screen on my M30.

  He began to blur and sometimes it goes black, but turns on instantly.

  The black border around the screen is broken in the lower left corner, it never really seemed to be able to follow the screen correctly, and there are some time (a month or two) he snapped.

  It seems to me that there could be a loose or faulty connection somewhere. The problem often appears when I try to adjust the screen or move the computer. Someone has an idea of what might work?

  Hello

  Looks like this isn't something "fix-it-yourself". You should consider contacting an ASP for the fixed machine.
  The LCD mask is cosmetic and could be left off-, but the question of the LCD (screen goes fuzzy and come back) looks like to a defective part (LCD, wiring, PCB) or a bad connection on this path.

  If you still have the warranty - go to an ASP. If this is not the case, ask for a quote.

• Satellite Pro M30: Where to find the new battery

  Hello

  I think I need a new battery for my Satellite Pro M30. When the battery is fully charged, it will be only for a few minutes. The light comes on when connected to AC so I know that it charges.

  I guess my battery died (I had the computer for almost three years now) and I need to get a new battery. Problem is, I don't know where to find it. The Toshiba homepage doesn't seem to provide.

  Is anyoine knows what to do?

  Thaks!

  Hello

  Your suggestion is right! This really looks like a dead battery and replacement is necessary.
  So, you know the details of the battery?
  Usually, batteries compatible and taken in charge are listed on the Toshiba site Options & accessories.

  I found this site on the European site of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> product-> Options & accessories
  Here, you can choose your laptop model and you will get a list of compatible parts

  Oh compatible parts you can order the ASP in your country.

  My ram size is currenty 512 MB.
  I have the model Satellite Pro M30.
  As the old model, my laptop would be faster if I increase to 1 GB

  Hello

  Of course, the 1 GB of RAM would help increase the performance of your laptop.
  It must be useful for faster loading applications.
  You will notice also that your tools and other software will be faster.

  To upgrade to the 1 GB RAM, you would need two 512 MB modules.
  Usually the PC2700 DDR - RAM 512 MB module must be compatible.

• 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 - 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: new HARD drive - what is the max capacity?

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 is 4 years old with a 60 GB hard drive (IDE).
  I would like to replace the hard drive with a bigger. What is the best? (BIOS version 1.70, Windows XP Pro SP 3).

  I would be happy not only to get the answer to my question but alos to where I might find the answer myself.

  Thanks and greetings
  waltgallus

  Hello

  As far as I know the laptop is equipped with an ATA-100 IDE / ATA-6 HARD drive controller.
  In this case, you will need to use the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.

  I know with certainty that this notebook would support 80 GB HDD, but generally a larger HARD drive should also be possible because the controller is able to manage the 48-bit LBA.
  The 48-bit LBA can handle hard drives of more than 120GB.

  In my opinion, you can try a 120 GB and also 160 GB HARD drive should be possible.
