• Satellite M30X-129: CPU fan runs constantly after new XP Pro re - install

  I just installed a new Samsung 120 GB drive in my M30X-129, an upgrade of the 60 GB IBM drive with what it was originally provided.

  Tried ghost XP Home installation of the old drive to the new - but it didn't work for some reason, installation, attached to a page with the "Windows XP" logo on it...

  So, I installed XP Pro with SP2 from scratch on the new drive.

  After having done that, I then installed the Toshiba and utils drivers listed for your laptop:

  NES http://UK.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi & action = search & teddProduct = 555

  The problem I have is that the fan runs at full speed all the time - this isn't the case with the old installation of XP (was rare for it to come on at all when slowed down in the office - running full bore 100% of the time)

  Research by and try a few suggestions:

  -J' installed the common Utils from Toshiba
  -J' installed the Toshieba power management - and set the fan speed to ' Silent' has ', but that doesn't seem to have any effect.

  Any suggestions? for example. where I get the latest versions of the applications?

  The noise of the fan slowly leads me to the top of the wall...

  Hello Ben

  If you have installed your own OS and Toshiba designed drivers, tools and utilities, I assume that this problem cannot be software. I'm really not 100% sure why the fan always runs at full speed but Satellite M30X is around 2 years and I guess it's time to clean up. The second thing can be your new HARD drive.
  It is also possible that new HARD drive produce more heat and sensors to register it and don t stop the cooling fan.

  I recommend you to professionally cleaned the unit and remove any dust inside the unit. I'm pretty sure that cooling fan does not work at all times.

  Also try to put the laptop into a slightly higher position (if possible at the back) and on this brand more interspace between the bureau and the cooling grill fan in the lower corner of your laptop.

• Satellite M30X - 165 Win XP Pro SP2 sound does not work

  Hello
  on my Satellite M30X 165 I simply get no sound output, if I look in Device Manager I see installed Realtek AC97 audio drivers but if I look at the Menu "Sounds and Audio devices" I see "No. Audio Device" in Control Panel, I use the Realtek drivers you can get from the Toshiba Homepage , the file is called sound-sm30-xp - 51005620.zip everyone has an idea? It's a freshly installed system not exceeding 4 Application installed at all (not even the bureau installed yet)

  If it's any help I have 2 unknown devices "PCI Flash Memory" and I don't know what it could be for I have no pcmcia cards connected and nothing more except Lan and mouse / keyboard.

  Noise appears on the recovery image installed Toshiba?

  If Yes, I assume that you have installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD and Toshiba drivers and utilities in the wrong order or some drivers are missing.

  But maybe the his doesn t appear due to the installation of SP2.
  I read in the Sp2 installation documentation (found on the Toshiba driver page) that maybe the Yamaha AC - XG driver sound 6.13.10.2152 must be installed.

  Anyway, please check this possibility.

• Type of keyboard on Satellite M30X-130

  I need to change this keyboard---> COMPAL P/N PK13CW10180 - Darfon P/N 99.N5682.30E - MODEL NSK-T430E - K000016100 WK442K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE
  but on the internet, the models I found that they have these characteristics---> MODEL MP-03436I0-698 - P/N PK13CW10280 - K000016100 WKA16K - ITALIAN LANGUAGE

  The only difference I've seen looking at the photos is the dish that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.
  My doubt is about the feature and if they are hardware compatible.

  Can someone help me in this choice?

  Thanks a lot for all

  Michele

  Satellite M30X is old enough laptop model, so I think that you should have no big problems to get the new keyboard. I had similar problem on my old Satellite M70 and I bought the new keyboard on eBay.

  At this time keyboards were quite similar and a keyboard could be used on some models of laptops. eBay is the right place to find different hardware parts for old models of laptops and keyboards.
  Unfortunately I can't help you with this keyboard control, so if you find the specification that says that it is compatible with M30X you can buy it.

  Don't spend a lot of money for it. as I've written before on eBay you can find keyboards for reasonable price.

• Update the driver for graphics card for Satellite M30x

  I need to update the video card driver in my Satellite M30X (ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700). Where can I find the latest version?

  On the toshiba support page, there is only an older version (dic.2004). I already tried to install a feeding at ATI.com but failed (suddenly stops and says that my system does not support this driver). I really need this update...

  Please help me

  Hello

  The driver from the ATI site will not help you. It is generally not possible to install the original graphic drivers from sites of s card on Toshiba laptops manufacturer.
  The Toshiba own graphics drivers are a bit modified and not the same as the original ATI drivers.

  However, the Web omegadrivers.net site provides drivers for ATI and NVidia chips and to my knowledge, it should be possible to install these drivers on your laptop.

• How to connect a device to capture video for Satellite M30X 127

  I'm going round in circles trying to find a video capture device that will work with a laptop computer and would be grateful for advice. For example, I am now looking to the ' Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking autour (but not Pinnacle, which seem to have a bad reputation for the elements of capture).

  Problems include:

  1. the main problem is - many video capture devices require a "line-in" for PC for audio transfer of good quality. This laptop is not a line in, only headphones and mike catches. In addition, I also tried a few RCA pins into the 3.5 mm headset jack, and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from the VCR to my PC?

  2. the ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a type of SIX pins. M30X is a FOUR pin type. There are adapters available?

  3. Some capture programs seem to require a huge capacity of RAM. A laptop will be adapted to do the job? (I just want to capture old VCR to PC vhs tapes, and then burn it to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  You are right! You must use an external device for the transmission of signals to your laptop. I put t know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. I used the USB data transfer.

  "Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me, but I put t see why this shouldn't work well." Use made software for video capture and there should not be any problem.

  The only thing is that, after registration of video equipment together must be prepared to burn and the unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy it and to use on the way I recommend to extend the RAM to 1 GB.

  Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

• Satellite M30x not recognizing not all USB ports

  My Satellite M30x has recently ceased to recognize all USB devices are connected that he, being a huge super biff computer I can only assume all my USB ports are totally exhausted.

  If anyone has any other theories id be more than happy to hear... Thanks :)

  Hello

  Something similar happened on my laptop. The laptop has stopped to recognize the external device (USB HDD). Someone told me that it happened because I used the safely remove. Usually, if you want to for example disconnect the USB HDD or USB key, you must use the remove before disconnecting the device from the laptop.
  I just deleted all ports USB device and Manager after restarting the laptop operating system recognized all the USB ports again. Further, I have connected my external HARD drive, and it worked!

  I put t know which external USB devices you use, but sometimes the machines cannot be allowed because the ports USB don t provide enough power.
  In this case, you can disable the mode without power failure in the USB hub properties in Device Manager.

  Good luck

• Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

  Hello

  I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

  1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
  2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
  3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

  It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

  Thank you for your help

  Todier

  Hello!

  If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

  But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
  You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?

• Satellite M30X: battery load stop

  Hello
  I have a satellite M30X laptop. It is two years old and the battery stopped charging but it works very well through the AC adapter.
  I bought a new battery, but it doesn't charge either.

  Can anyone throw any light on this for me please?
  The orange light is lit to indicate that he is in charge, but neither batteries receive the load for some reason any.

  Thank you

  I put t think that it s a connection issue because as you say in your ad the laptop works well with the main power supply.
  I guess there could be a malfunction of the card maybe something wrong with the electronics

  PS: Did you buy a battery compatible, right?

• BSOD 0xC4 appears on Satellite M30x

  Hello

  Since yesterday I have Blue Screen Of Death, a few minutes after the beginning of my Satellite M30x. The error code is 0xC4.

  Sometimes IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I used the CD to reset the default settings, but now the image is the same: blue screens, until Windows has finished starting.
  But if I use the F8 key to get the protected mode there is no problem. Please help me solve the problem!

  On a Switzerland Toshiba site I found information (in German) that produced M30x tend to restart:

  http://ch.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/de/generic/PRODUCT_UPDATE_SAT_M30X_CH

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I think you should check if the BSOD issue could be resolved using new memory modules RAM.
  I remember my old laptop had a similar problem. The OS crashed and nothing has worked. The question was about the faulty RAM module.
  I first checked how the laptop would be using RAM that one alone. This helped to discover how faulty RAM module.
  Then I replaced the RAM and re-tested

  Since the notebook then run as it should.

• Satellite M30X: Screen doesn't work after sleep mode

  I own Satellite M30X (model) after I left the laptop on while awhile, the computer went on standby to fashion. When I turned it on, the screen does not work, everything else is ok. I use the external monitor to the laptop. Everything seems to be in the order outside the screen. I did a system recovery and still the same problem. I don't know if it's a hardware or software problem.

  I know the screen works, because you can see roughly. It seems to me that the screen is always on standby.

  Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

  Hello

  @marc.andres: If you n t no contrast on the screen have so try to use the FN + F7 key
