Satellite R630 - replacement of SSD

• Replacement of keys on satellite R630

  A key has popped out of the keyboard and I can't put it back on. I don't know if I've lost something of directly under the tile to help him fix the frame surrounding the moss green button. I tried to search online for a Visual to help me, but I can't find any keyboard that looks the same as that on my satellite R630 13D

  Anyone know of a link to a Visual / video etc.? Or tell me whether I should have a different "bits" - and if so where I could buy them?

  Thank you

  Under the key cap is low (white mechanism) and if the plug is OK you need to place correctly and press gently downwards. You will hear a click and it should be up again.

  Doesn't work for you?

  If something is damaged I n t think you can replace a single key but the entire keyboard.

• Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

  I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

  1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

  2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

  3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

  Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

  Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

  To follow...

  Hey Buddy,

  With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
  -Run update as an administrator only
  -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
  -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
  -Make sure the battery is fully charged

  With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

  All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

• Satellite R630 - 11L - sometimes did not recognize the SSD drive

  Hi all

  I have a portable Satellite R630 - 11L and I just bought a Corsair F120 SSD for her, but my laptop a few times did not recognize the SSD drive and fails to start occurs. I searched on the Internet concerning the issue, but there are any topic related to my problem. in recent days, I have updated my bios but the problem remains. for example if I put the computer to sleep and he never wake ups as it should be. the blue windows screen 7 failure comes and an error message 'could not access the windows volume. If portable succesful started without problem occurs until I reeboot the computer. so most of the time I have to restart computer about 5 - 6 times to work normal. At the same time, I opened a topic on the corsair website. They told me to test my drive on another computer, so I test it on laptops, dell and hp to my friends, but there is no any problem don't like this.

  So I test my ssd on an another toshiba laptop R630 which has a different hardware configurations, the problem remains that laptop too...

  So I think toshiba may provide a bios update to fix this problem. This laptop really great, so I don't want to buy another.

  y at - it advice to solve this problem?

  Hi machka,.

  > I think that here is the toshiba support forum. is not here?
  Here he s a Toshiba forum, that of right, but you can only chat with normal users like you and me. You will not find someone from Toshiba here.
  The forum is provided Toshiba but for Toshiba users to exchange experience on different products.

  So I think that the Quad is just. No one can say that every SSD is compatible with all computers. You need to understand this!
  There are hundreds of different players and computers on the market and I m sure that no one can test a new computer with all SSD on the market. This is not possible, because it takes a lot of time and more expensive laptops that I think.

  So if the SSD doesn't work, there is nothing that you can wait for the BIOS update.
  Otherwise, you must purchase another SSD. Alternatively, you can ask a service provider allowed in your country, maybe that technicians have already experience with some SSD in Satellite R630. Just ask for that, they are the first contact for you! :)

• Where to buy parts for Satellite R630-155?

  Back to Christmas, I stupidly pulled my lap top on the floor to break the case and the hard drive.

  I got the case and the hard drive replaced with a local pc due to recommendations repair company.
  Unfortunately my confidence was misplaced and 5 months I still do not have a decent wifi pick up and I also discovered that the camera more light built into the front of the screen of the cover is missing.
  I've been to the repairman but seems empty and not joy.

  I know that to take a glance that it is has taken a multi white plastic for at least the camera
  So nobody knows where can I buy spare parts if all goes well for the missing camera and light and the Wifi component.

  At the moment I am hated to part with the R630 because it proved invaluable when traveling because it is light and before Christmas 2012 ideal to pick up wifi signals in hotels and cruise ships.

  Secondly, I am in September who travel outside China, hong kong, Japan, Singapore &

  Can anyone recommend a modern equivalent not so expensive for the Satellite R630 I can search and buy?

  I look around before repairs and might find something equivalent on £1,800.

  Hope someone can help
  Thank you very much
  Rossnagh

  It is very difficult to find these parts for laptops, especially for new models of portable computers.
  Best place to get these things is Toshiba authorized provider. They can order these parts but I don't know if they'll sell it for you or they only order it if they can repair your laptop.

  You can try to contact ASP and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  It is not easy to give you some good advice on other phones but I think for the trip and extremely mobile use series Z Satellite can be very good alternative for you.

  Check the Toshiba website for your country a little and pick up some info on equipment and the price of course.

• Satellite R630-13F - RAM upgrade

  Hi all

  My R630 is faced with a newly added software for Photoshop (CS5 version). Whenever it is quite slow to open and try to merge the picture for the economy.

  I was wondering if I can upgrade the RAM. With a very limited knowledge, I would like to know if I need to buy an additional (if there is a vacancy for it), or I need to get one to replace the old.

  I think increasing the memory to 4 GB, but I was wondering if it will be enough for Photoshop. Thanks a lot for any input.

  Best wishes

  Tim

  Hey Buddy,

  RAM upgrade is not a problem because it is easy and can be done in a few minutes.

  Satellite R630 has Intel HM55 chipset, and the maximum capacity is 8 GB. This means that you can install 4GB module in each memory location. Also an upgrade to 4 GB is not a problem, you can keep your 2 GB module and just buy a new 2 GB module. The module DDR3-10066 part number is PA3676U-1M2G.

  If you have more questions just after, again :)

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite R630 supports USB 2.0
  Only a few models support USB 3.0, but this should be replaced in the future.
  Of my knowledge that the Portege R700 supports a docking connector which allows you to use a USB 3.0 controller.

  Seems that you have to wait a bit if you want a laptop with a USB 3.0
  But I think it's worse to wait because a maximum of 3 USB, 0-Port flow 2.5 times the speed of a USB 2.0 Port.

  Of course, you will need to connect a USB device to USB 3.0 to get this performance

• Satellite R630 - difference between 13V and 14 days

  Hello

  I think to buy a Satellite R630, but I'm confused on the different versions. I've narrowed down to these two, 13V or 14 days.
  13V is less expensive (150-200), a larger HARD drive (500 GB compared to 320 GB) and weighs about 200 g. the battery of the 13V is the worst, it has only 6 cells and ~ 8 hours maximum, while the 14 days has 9 cells and up to 12 hours.
  Is this really the only difference, and if this is the case, would it be possible to replace the battery then with cell 9 since the 14 days?

  thx for your help!

  Hey,.

  I also checked the specifications of Toshiba's official website and I found the same difference you.

  Theoretically, the two parties (HARD drive and battery) can be replaced on both models very easy, so in the end, you must decide which model you prefer.

  My personal opinion would be R630-13V because the 8 hour battery life is really enough in my opinion and if you need more energy, buy an extra battery or replace the 6 cells with a 9cell. :)

• Satellite R630 - 11L - HARD drive failure

  I bought Satellite R630 - 11L months back in Dubai and brought to the India.

  When i run diagnostic tool results PC say hard disk do not.
  When I esquired in the service center hear they told me he has guaranteed EMEA so it is not repairable hear.

  I don't really know what to do.

  Anyone with the same problem? All proposed solutions?

  Hello

  Here you can get all the details on the standard warranty Toshiba ENCO.
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/services_standard_warranty_eu/

  All laptops are covered by the EMEA limited workshop of at least 1 year
  Do you read the terms of this warranty where I found this:

  + This warranty is applicable only in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and can be run from any +.
  + Countries EMEA where Toshiba or its Service providers allowed provide warranty service to the terms and conditions provided for in this warranty. +

  Unfortunately, I think you need an ASP of Dubai or other countries ÉMAÉ one helps :(

  Otherwise, you can replace the HARD drive on your own. It is not very complicated.
  You can do it yourself. Buy cheap a SATA HDD and replace it

• Difference between Portege R700 and Satellite R630

  What is the difference between the two models, Portege R700 and Satellite R630?
  Is it only fingerprint, port dock station reader and a more powerful configuration (CPU, SSD, WiFi 802.11n, Type)?
  Is this the same materials used body? Is it the same weight?

  I found this comparison:
  [http://www.ultra-laptops.com/comparisons/toshiba_portege_r700-s1330_vs_toshiba_satellite_r630-131]

  Hi snicker_1,

  There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

  In my opinion, you should check these notebooks from Toshiba Web site. There you can see what models are currently available and the configuration.

• Satellite R630 - integrated webcam does not

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  My built-in webcam on my Toshiba Satellite R630 spontaneously stopped working in the last two weeks.

  I tried:

  -Check if it is enabled in the BIOS and there is no option to select a webcam here.
  -Restore my laptop computer to a previous state when the camera worked. This no longer works.
  -Updated the driver for the webcam - it installs the driver but then it disappears and nothing happens.

  A few things that it might help to know:

  -In Device Manager, "imaging devices" are missing, so I can't find the driver for the webcam here.
  -J' used to get a pop-up whenever I turned on my laptop which was loading a webcam bluetooth but saying that he could not. This stopped happening; I think I turned it off in msconfig.
  -It is not a hardware problem
  -Yesterday, I had a weird time breakthrough - I downloaded an app on my phone to try to use it as a webcam through bluetooth. I had activated bluetooth on my phone and laptop. I plugged my phone into my laptop and the pop-up the camera bluetooth (see previous point) came, but this time worked without the error message. However, instead of my phone works like a webcam, the blue light came next to my integrated webcam and who has started working. I thought it was fixed then all closed and ejected my phone and webcam stopped working again. I tried to repeat this sequence, but with no joy.

  I'm really frustrated and ideas. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  If imagine device isn't listed in Device Manager, it means that the module is not found. Even if the driver is not installed, the module must be included in the BIOS as imagine device, unknown device, etc.
  But this isn't the case

  So I think there are two possibilities: the module's fault or the connection between the module and the motherboard (Controller) isn t put in place.

  As far as I know the internal webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
  If the connection drops (cable) the module will not be recognized in Device Manager

  From my point of few, it must be a nuisance material

• No 3D video on external projector not connected to the Satellite R630 - 14H

  I bought a projector that supports 3D 1080 p videos.
  I plugged in my laptop Toshiba Satellita R630 - 14H with a HDMI cable which should also support 3D.
  I used reading software that should also support 3D and downloaded a few demos to the SBS format.

  But when I play these videos, they are really displayed side by side and not as 3D.
  When I say the beamer from 2D to 3D, it always says that the entrance is not in 3D.
  The program of Intel graphics driver that has been pre-installed lists a 3D option.

  What version of HDMI the R630 - 14 H uses?
  Support 3D-video?
  Am I missing something else?

  > I plugged into my laptop Toshiba Satellite R630 - 14H with a HDMI cable which should also support 3D.

  Where did you get or find information about the 3D on this laptop support?
  Technical data Toshiba Satellite R630 - 14 H says that this support unit unit internal Intel HD graphics.

  Sorry mate but this isn't 3D capable graphics card and I don t think 3D release would be possible.

  To be able to use an external 3D monitor or projector, you would need a laptop with compatible 3D graphics card. For example a GPU nVidia Driver compatible 3D display, (NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit) 3D glasses and 3D compatible monitor or projector (120 Hz).

• Satellite R630-105 - touchpad freezes in time

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite R630-105 model.
  When writing for some time (using the keyboard) without any regulated touchpad icon character appears on the screen, and sometimes the temporary blockage appears.

  At the same time, I use a USB mouse, and I disabled the touch pad using the Fn + F9 Tin order to eliminate the problem.
  Disable the USB mouse using the internal keyboard to score in the option panel-> mouse menu.

  Currently installed Synaptics 15.0.12.0 driver version dated the 11.03.2010.
  I also tried the drivers install later, but don t get a good result.

  If I understand your question, the touchpad icon appear while typing and this can be solved temporarily disable the touchpad by pressing the FN + F9.
  Is this correct?

  To my knowledge, you can disable the touchpad while typing by selecting the option in the control panel > mouse-> tab device pointing (in some cases its Advanced tab)-> setting button

  There are area called operations during key entry
  And here, you can choose the option is called tapping to disable and turn off scroll function
