• 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 M10: image on the screen is very dark

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

  Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

  I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

  My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

  Hello

  I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
  This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
  As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

• Satellite Pro A210 - dead on the screen pixel

  Hello

  I bought a laptop Satellite Pro A210 seris.
  Professional Vitsa.

  When I first turned it on, I noticed at the same time there is a broken pixel!

  The ASP said that unless at least 7 pixals are broken, they won't do anything!

  I am now wondering, how long it will be before more pixels don't work more, or if it will stay the same it is to say:
  Just the one pixel?
  Anyone know what I can do about it and that it will be just a matter of short time before my monitor goes together?

  I would really apprecaite any advice with this, from course I am sure you will understand that I am new to laptops.

  Thanks so much for anyone who can give me some info etc. or help with this.

• Satellite Pro 6000 freezes and the screen is weird random pattern

  Hello

  I recently bought a SP6000 second-hand advertised as having "graphics problems". After 10 minutes or use the laptop freezes and the screen has a strange random pattern all acorss it. The speakers are also a strange hum. I have to stop the laptop and restart.

  I've updated the bios and drivers for card video from the toshiba site, but he always does. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why this problem occurs. You have purchased a second hand unit. It is possible that your device has a hardware malfunction, but I can't give you an answer why it is happening. I suppose that temperature increases after 10 min of use.
  Maybe this could be a problem. It could also be a fault of the motherboard. But these are just suggestions. In my opinion, you should ask the service for detailed information.

• 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.

  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?

  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.

• 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 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.
