• Problem with Satellite Pro 4200 series USB (4270)

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my usb port, it doesn't seem to work properly. I did an update of the Bios, which solves nothing. I changed the drivers (Windows 2000 Professional service pack 4) which did nothing either. Plug-and-play does not activate even when I plug something into the usb port. At first I thought that maybe the USB has been damaged, but when I plug my webcam, it lights up briefly, and since it is powered from the usb, I hope this means that the usb port still works. I tried to plug in scanner m, my printer and my camera, with all the different drivers, with which they came. Nothing works. Windows 2000 displays not all conflicts with all the drivers. I've also disabled in BIOS, all other ports (LPT1 COM1 COM2) using the IRQ11. What could be a solution to this problem?

  Hello

  Well, as far as know that the operating system is unable to recognize the devices if the external USB device needs more power than the USB port provides. In this case, the USB devices must have an external power supply.
  In addition, try to remove the USB port on the Device Manager and restart the operating system.
  After the restart of the operating system should recognize the USB ports. Maybe this procedure solves the strange USB problem.

  Please let me know if it works.

  Good bye

• The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

  I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

  I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

  Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

  What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

  By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

• What is the difference between the Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

  As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.

  I bought a mobo on ebay which was a 4290 and today it happened, but the problem was that there was an apparently fixed CPU, which stands out much less of the Council than that of the Board of Directors 4220 and therefore does not connect with my 4220 cooling mechanism.

  At least something comes on when I start now, but unfortunately he has passed the Toshiba screen that tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.

  Having also spent money on a new CPU and memory, I don't want it let go and I've seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - does anyone know if it will agree with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the motherboard 4220.

  I'm assuming that these may be compatible since I managed to find a pdf of a service manual that covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing, so I don't ' know if that highlights any differences.

  It's frustrating that there's no PDF for these older models, at least with the plug on them, and it is very difficult to find info.

  As usual, thanks for any help!

  Hello

  As far as I know the two series using the Intel Mobile Pentium III with MMX microprocessor? Technology.

  I discovered these details:

  Satellite 4260 series: Mobile Pentium III 450 MHz
  4270 satellite series: Intel Mobile Celeron 500 MHz
  Satellite 4280 series: Mobile Pentium III 500 MHz

  Satellite 4320 series: Mobile Pentium III 600 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology
  Satellite 4340 series: Mobile Pentium III 650 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology

  Portable measures should be also the same. So in my opinion, it should be possible to use the same motherboard for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

• PCMCIA card as a serial port RS232 on Satellite Pro 4200

  I think to use a PCMCIA card as a serial RS232 port. The program that I need to use runs under DOS and needs two serial ports. My question is that I need to run the program and the serial port to be recognized by the system. I have a satellite pro 4200 laptop PC series.

  Thank you

  Why on Earth if you want that?
  Your laptop computer with a serial port doesn't have it?

  Well for the serial ports are standard supported on Windows. In a back box that should be no problem.

  But pure back could be a problem.
  I guess you must also BACK drivers for your PCMCIA card...

• With Satellite Pro M-series LCD projector problems

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro M series for more than a year. I would like an answer to a problem that I've had since I bought my laptop. When I use a LCD (beemer) projector to watch movies on the big screen, he seems to be a problem. When I choose to show my desktop on screen you there is no problem. When I open a video file, divx or just a DVD I can see the movie on the screen of my laptop, but I don't see on the projection screen. It is only black. When I choose the mode full screen, there is always the same prob. Very strange because when I chose the projector as 2nd screen and I slide the film into the second screen, I can see the movie on the projection screen. The only thing that I hate divx and mediaplayers readers when you select full screen on the second screen, the film jumps on the first screen (the one on my laptop). I tried all the codecs and other things. Nothing seems to work.

  Has anyone treats these problems before? Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

  Kind regards
  Compton

  Hi refill,

  I thinnk it may be a driver configuration problem, but to solve it, I need to know what mobile phone do you use?

  Satellite Pro M?

  Also would be nice to know what operating system is runing (OS recovery or another image) and what version of driver display that you use!

  Goodbye Chris

• Satellite Pro L Series - lack of strikes

  I have a Satellite Pro L Series with keyboard, mouse, etc. connected via a Toshiba "USB 2.0 Port Replicator II". When I use the keyboard, occasional keys are ignored (so I have to go back after you type anything to insert strikes ' % is). Also, from time to time a key combination is repeated constantly until I intervene to stop it.

  This does not occur when I use the computer without the port replicator, so the problem seems to relate to the port replicator itself. EDT doesanyone experience a similar problem, or ideas on how to fix it?

  The USB keyboard is maybe defective. Have you tested on another PC?

  Bad drivers can also cause. If you have installed drivers/utilities keyboard, or a mouse Logitech/Microsoft/other, uninstall them. They may be in conflict with the default drivers.

• Satellite Pro 4200 recognize RAM only in the B slot

  I have recently got a Satellite Pro 4200 and want to increase the memory up to 320 MB.
  To start I bought a 128 MB module and have found that with a 64 MB module in a slot and the 128 MB in the other system only recognizes the module into the connector B.

  Must the modules in the two slots be the same value for the system to recognize them? i.e. the 128 MB or two 64 MB.
  If this is the case its OK but if it's not I don't want to buy another 128 MB module, if the location is unservicable.

  Thank you
  Billabilla.

  Hello

  Wow Sat Pro 42000 is an oldie I didn t think someone using this mobile in the future, I mean it's a great laptop but the performance he is too weak to be present-days.
  As far as I know the Satellite Pro 4200 was equipped with Mobile Intel Celeron 500 Mhz or with an Intel Pentium III 450 Mhz / 500 Mhz.

  Pentium 450 Mhz CPU equipped units can be improved up to 320 MB. All other units can be upgraded up to 576 MB.

  I think that the 64 MB module should not be removed!
  You must use 64 MB + 128 MB or 256 MB or 512 MB (only for models with 500 Mhz processor).

  Hope this helps you

• Satellite Pro 4300 series - is there an available wireless card

  Hi all

  New to this forum I bought an old laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 series recently as a starter machine for my son. The computer is currently connected to the internet using 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN PC Card PCMCIA 3CCFE574BT with dongle connected through hub speedtouch.

  Can someone tell me if there is a PC wireless card that I can use with this machine without having to connect wires in the hub.

  See you soon

  Hello

  As far as I know, the machine does not support the Wlan and has not been equipped with all Wlan cards.
  If you want to connect the computer to the WLan router then I would recommend using a USB WiFi key that would be the simplest solution.

  There are different sticks USB Wlan that supports different Wlan standards; 802.11 B or G, you must choose one that is compatible with your WLan router.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro 4200: cannot install graphics drivers correct Win ME

  Hello

  I have just reinstalled Windows ME on Satellite Pro 4200 machines, but I don't seem to be able to install the correct graphics/display drivers. Can anyone help

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  What graphics card was installed in this oldie?

  I don t think that Toshiba provides Win ME drivers for this device, and so you should Google in the internet for the graphics driver.

  Good luck
