Tecra R840 Australian distributed model

Hello

My Tecra CPU is an i5-2520QM
Can any advise please if I am able to switch to an i7-2670QM at all? as I have one sitting in a HP who died but the CPU is ok.
Open to all suggestions, thank you.

If other models R840 comes with an i7-2670QM, so it should work.
I doubt that the BIOS will support it otherwise.

  • Tecra R840 - Ethernet and driver sound Dynadock question

    Hey,.

    Tecra R840, model PT429A-007004, does not work with the Toshiba dyna docking station.

    Specifically, the Ethernet and the audio driver for the dock dyna is not installed after running or installing the driver on the cd of the dock dyna or the latest driver on the site.

    Does anyone know a fix for this?

    Note: nothing in Device Manager to say that these pilots to dock a missing, only when you install the driver mentioned the wizard that Ethernet and audio drivers might not be installed.

    He also mentions that the dynadock has a problem with the graphics card edge, but we have not had problems with graphics, for example screens.

  • Screen replcement on Tecra R840

    I wonder if anyone can give me some advice on replacing the screen on my laptop Tecra R840.

    The screen is described as follows:
    14 Toshiba HD anti-glare LED (1366 x 768) high brightness backlight screen.

    I would like to know if it is possible to do a straight replacement of this screen with a version high gloss?

    I prefer the very glossy screen, because it seems easier to read the detail on the screen when the light is very bright. Just before there is no notice on the brightness of the screen, the level is already enabled for maximum brightness.

    I already asked a supplier to screen in London [I am based in the United Kingdom] who said that there should really be no problem, once the resolution figures are the same with a brilliant display of replacement.

    Perhaps, could somebody let me know if it's simple.

    Hi parkman

    It is not easy to help you with this, and it is not easy to pick up a few useful information on this subject.
    Goggling around, I found out that Toshiba uses two different views on this model Tecra.

    What could be interesting for you is the display used on Tecra R840-110. On this model Toshiba uses 14 HD glossy screen + with a resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels.

    Maybe this one will be right for you.
    I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help or advice from God.

  • Tecra R840 - atikmpag.sys causes bluescreen

    Hello

    displaying videos on my Tecra R840 sometimes I get a blue screen with the atikmpag.sys driver.

    Happens to every time, but often - about one in four times or more.

    The blue screen occurs especially at the beginning of the video - but sometimes also in the end.

    In the download for my Tecra area, there is only one pilot display of 2012 - I have installed.

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, 8 GB of RAM and the AMD Radeon HD 6450 M.

    Does anyone have a tip for me?

    Thank you very much in advance

    Anne

    Hello

    Because this problem does not always, but sometimes, it would be very difficult to reproduce this BSOD and therefore, it is not very easy to say why the BSOD appears.

    Is that file atikmpag.sys belongs to the graphics card driver.
    It seems that the graphics card driver crashes, and therefore the BSOD occurs.
    But why?

    I have two different theories:
    (1) the graphics driver is not fully compatible with the new software installed, tools (games), etc., but the fact is that the Toshiba driver page does not provide all new GPU drivers for this model of laptop. The other point is that the same driver version worked correctly in the past and I m wondering why the same driver should not operate correctly now if it worked correctly in the past.

    (2) my 2nd theory is that the BSOD appears due to the higher temperature of the internal GPU. The highest temperature is mainly a reason for blockages of the system and also responsible for issues of the graphics card.

    Have you tried to reinstall/recover the system? Isn't it?
    I would recommend you do this using the Toshiba recovery disc. This procedure should always be made in the event of system problems.

    I also recommend you to clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air. That would help you get rid of the dust. Dust is mainly a reason if it comes to a temperature higher inside the laptop.

  • Tecra R840 mSata SSD installation in module 3G position

    Hello
    I have a Tecra R840-110 model, there is also a 3 G module inside, I would install the mSata SSD pcie slot.
    Is possible to use the mSata SSD instead of module 3 G pcie slot?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I think that something like this is not possible. Card mother ports are not a kind of flexible ports.
    In the past, that Toshiba gave the second HARD drive, upgrade instead of the optical drive using special adapter.

  • Re: Tecra R840 - 15K not recognized

    I recently bought a reconditioned-Toshiba laptop Tecra R840 - 15K. I can't find this model anywhere on the Toshiba site. When I enter the serial number Tosh. was told that there are no.

    My questions:
    a. What is an authentic machine or a fake?
    b. I want to improve the HD; the current HD is 2.5 "x 7 mm. Can I mount a 9.5 mm 2.5 "instead?

    Thanks for any help.

    Fake? How can it be wrong?
    Toshiba sticker, you can find the model number (PT42GE), and if you visit the Toshiba support page you can find this model of laptop.

    And Yes, you can use 9.5 mm hard drives.

  • Tecra R840 - need help for installing the SSD

    Hello

    Sorry, again, but I really need help with that?
    My new ssd (arriving in a few days) is a Plextor M5P which is 7 mm thick! My Tecra R840-16J have a thickness 9.5 mm HDD and what I've seen is no caddy!
    I would be grateful all the tricks for installing the ssd drive in my Tecra!

    Thanks for your time,

    Paulo

    Hello Paulo

    As far as I know that some models are available with drive HARD and some with SSD these models with SSD have small SSD support. SSD is fixed by 4 screws in this medium.

    I put t really know how to help you now. Maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I think they can check the part number of this door - or maybe order one for you.

  • Tecra R840 - WLAN disable when LAN connected

    In my business, use the Tecra R840 Notepad and to improve the situation, we are considering turning off wifi when we put on cable network.

    We found that the last other models from other manufacturers have this option in the bios called "WLAN / WAN switching.

    Is there an option in the R840?
    To update the Bios option to display everything even?

    Hello

    Toshiba offer different laptops with different BIOS.
    As far as I know the WLan could be turned on and off in the BIOS for T230 series.
    I m not quite sure R840 about, but I guess you can't disable WLan in BIOS.

    But why you don t use the Fn + F8 key combination to disable WiFi?

    I can't imagine that the use of the Fn + F8 might be a big pain for you

  • Tecra R840-A222 - Windows XP Drivers needed

    Hello everyone, I am currently planning to purchase the Tecra R840 - A222 (PT42KV) here in Saudi Arabia and I need to know if this model has Windows XP drivers for it. On the driver download page, I can see two short-model for this R840-A222 numbers. They are PT42KV and PT42KE.

    The PT42KV has only about five drivers XP while the PT42KE has virtually all the drivers for Windows XP.
    Is someone can you please tell me if for the PT42KE XP drivers will also apply to the PT42KV?

    I am especially concerned by the base which consists of the chipset graphic, audio, ethernet drivers, and others for material of this model. I use this camera mainly for engineering software (PLC programming, diagnosis of the vehicle and other who need the XP platform).

    > On the driver download page, I can see two short-model for this R840-A222 numbers. They are PT42KV and PT42KE.

  • Upgrade SSD for a Tecra R840-16J

    Hello world

    This is my first post here!
    I am Portuguese and I bought a R840-16J two months ago. I chose this model because it had all the specs I wanted (I run Toshiba laptops since 1997... and my first still works!) except one: he had not an SSD. Given that I could not custom make my laptop that I bought it with a 500 GB HDD at 7200 RPM,.
    The upgrade only I could do (and I did) was to install an extra 4 GB RAM module.

    I would like to install an SSD now (with the same capacity,...).

    My questions:

    1. don't recommend me a special brand/model?
    2 - What are the steps that I need to have a correct installation?
    3. I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated :-).

    Kind regards
    Paulo

    > 1-do you recommend me a special brand/model?

    I would not recommend a specific model or manufacturer, I think that it s always a question of value for money. I recommend you get some reading and assessment tests some SSD drive test on tech Web sites.
    You can choose the best SSD drive for you I mean it didn't need to be the best and expensive

    > 2 - what steps I have to do a correct installation?

    It is the same procedure as the HARD drive upgrade.
    Check this nice HowTo from Toshiba:
    Tecra R840 & Satellite R840 HARD drive replacement procedure
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/CRU19037K0000R01.htm

    > 3 - I installed a lot of sw that I need (office, PS and many astronomy specific sw I use). Do I have to re - install all these or is it a solution to 'clone' my HARD drive SSD?

    You can install everything again on new SSD drive or you will create an image:
    You can use an option included in Windows 7:
    Click Start at the start and then select back up your files.
    Then click on create a system image hyperlink.
    Now you can choose where you want to save the image. You can choose an external HARD disk, burn it on several DVD s, or store it on a network location.
    When you want to restore the image, you will be able to use the System Recovery Options to recover the system. For a recovery of the system option, you must start the Win 7 F8 press should choose fix my computer. You will find in this window option called: system image recovery

  • User manual to fix Tecra A50-A-151, model No. PT644E

    Hello
    When you try to download the user manual for a Tecra A50-A-151, model No. PT644E, I offer three choices.

    How can there be three?

    Although they have posting dates different all three appear to be the same and labelled 'first edition August 2013', even if they have different file names.

    Who is the right one and how do I know which figure in the 'Grand Tour' is supposed to be an A50 - A and nothing else? (I do not have an A50 - in front of me.)

    Thank you.

    I'm also a little confused about this but I checked two of them and I think they are the same, so I think you can make a big mistake if you download a first or second.

    Great ride is the same.

    You have questions on this model Tecra? Maybe someone of us can help you.

  • TECRA R840-16V to win7 64-bit to win10 level

    I tried to upgrade my Tecra R840-16V (number PT429E-05M00KGE) form windows 7 64 bit pro to windows 10 pro through windows update. During the upgrade procedure is complete all seemed ok, but after a while, the system froze (even the mouse). I did a reboot in my system via the power button / stop, the system has worked well for about an hour and froze again. I did a reboot via the Start button / stop, one more time and I had the same problem after all. I did a restore of the system in windows 7 and everything works fine without any gel at all.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a solution or suggestion to update my system without problems on windows 10 pro?

    Hello

    Never solved this problem, I have the same problem with my Tecra R840. I have windows 10 initial installation when it was first released, however had the freezing issue (System fan would also begin running at 100%, that is very strong but whole machine was locked and would require a hard reset). After a few weeks of this question, that I started Windows 7 and which would be fine.

    However, just tonight I thought I would try the anniversary 10 Windows Update to see if that had solved the problem, unfortunately the same problem persists. After you have installed update Windows 10 anniversary (updated to Windows 7), the laptop freezes still. There a simple 3 minutes after connecting the fan turns 100%, and everything froze upwards.

    Thoughts/ideas or help here would be appreciated?

    See you soon
