  Hello Aed

  Installation of operating system using recovery media is very comfortable, but if you have not this CD is not the end of the world. You can install OS using the facilities of Microsoft CD. All the drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

  Recovery image is not available for download. You can try to contact the service authorized in your country. Maybe they can order a recovery media for you.

• Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 cannot use USB 2.0

  I can't use USB 2.0 on my laptop (OS = Windows 2000).
  Where can I download this driver-USD for this Board (Toshiba laptop motherboard).

  Greetings

  Hello

  Have you seen yellow errors such as exclamation points in Device Manager?
  If not, in this case it of not necessary to install all the drivers.
  Moreover, the operating system automatically recognizes the USB ports.

  But what USB device doesn't work? As far as I know if this external device needs more energy than the 500mA so it is possible that the operating system can not recognize this device.
  In this case you need an external power supply for this part or you try to use the USB hub.

• Keyboard unresponsive - Satellite Pro M30

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite Pro M30. The keyboard responds more fully. When I turn on the laptop and when it ask me to login credentials I'm simply not able to enter, nothing happens when the buttons are pressed.

  I have re-installed the unit using the CD of restoration but no luck. Interestingly, when I put the laptop in sleep mode, and when she returns to the normal mode, the keys work for a few seconds. If I kill the explorer.exe and launch a new, key works also for a while.

  Because the keys work when the computer comes out of standby, the keyboard is not completely dead/failure. My OS is XP Pro SP2.

  Help, please.

  Thanks in advance,

  Sanjay Kay

  Hello

  The best way to check the functionality of the device is to preinstall the original recovery CD or DVD unit. As I see you have already done this.

  If the problem persists, I suppose that there is a hardware problem. I put t know if the unit is new or used one, but you should contact the customer Service of your country partner and explain the situation. Guaranteed valid will cover all costs if some of the material is defective and should be replaced.

• Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 & Power Saver stop error

  Hello!

  I am struggling with this problem for months... the latest version of Eve on my toshiba satellite pro m30 running windows xp with service pack 1 installed gives a message box with an error message when the stop and I'm unable to eliminate this error. Unfortunately, I can't consider reinstall the system from scratch, because there are many other applications installed and I can't lose the settings for them. I read the forums and realized I'm not one of the problems with toshiba power saver. I'm even lucky to successfully at startup started it! Yet, it hangs at shutdown. It's pretty boring. also, I downloaded all the latest updates of this site for my laptop, including even the bios update.

  I would like the opportunity to be able to download the version without toshiba this site energy saving bug, and I'm sure many other people would appreciate the patch too!

  any comment on that?

  Andrew.

  Hello

  If your laptop is installed correctly it should work well. All the software has been tested. The only reason for your problem may be additional software that you have installed later.

  It is also possible that it may be caused by an Antivirus application. Maybe an application runs in the background? There are many reasons that may be responsible for this problem.

  If you reinstall your Notebook of recovery CD it will not work properly. It is very unjustifiable to write on some versions bug-free. I sometimes have problems with BONES, but almost always after using some freeware.

• 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?
  [email protected]

  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

  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

  which is extremely difficult to buy. A very similar memory of Kingston is KVR333X64SC25.

  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.

  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

• RAM 1 GB upgrade will increase the performance of the Satellite Pro M30?

  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.
