Update CPU is possible on Portege 2010

Hi, I wonder if it is possible to upgrade the processor on my Portege 2010, I work as a pc technician so I have no problem to do the job.
If so can what models I use?

Thank you

Upgrade CPU on the laptop is really not simple and delicate. I think you know this because you're a pc technician.
The Portege 2010 seems to be an old I didn t find many details on this device, but I found out that this laptop was equipped the PIII-M (Mobile) 866 MHz 133 MHz FSB processor.

What you could do is install and hardware diagnostic tool to find out which chipset is supported. Then check the details of this chipset (maybe on Intel page) and which could be supported by the CPU.

However, I'm really skeptical that the laptop will be stable after the upgrade of Mr. overheating could be a big trouble!

    Please help me!
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    It seems that the OS Vista was preinstalled on this laptop.
    This means that you have installed the Windows 7 system to your own hand.

    The point is that BIOS update requires a few essential tools of Toshiba.
    For example, the package of value added is an important software package and must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    VAP is installed?
    If this isn't the case, install the PPV before trying to update the BIOS.

  • Portege 2010 - bad BIOS (block3)

    I have a portege 2010 with a bad bios
    on normal startup, it goes to screen
    BIOS (Block3) is damaged! (Call the repairman).

    so I tried to reflash the bios in the usual way.
    do a disk with
    -----
    biosfile biofca6t.com
    chgbiosa.exe
    -----
    and start either with the flashing the BIOS button (just to the left of the space bar)
    or by pressing any key on-screen "block3.

    It does not load the program chgbiosa.exe. who reads the bios file
    Hot flashes and it recharges
    -----
    Reading BIOS file...
    Data erasure and writing the BIOS...

    ROM write successful!
    Utility finished
    -----
    Then it restarts

    but unfortunately. nothing changes. He still goes to the display of block 3

    so I think I can have damaged the chip of the bios on my hands.
    Since the successful re-flash does nothing...

    -----------------
    NOT RECOMMENDED
    So I decided to check if the chgbiosa actually do anything.
    so, during the writing process, I unplugged the power.
    (incomplete writing process) and I'm done with a (block 1)
    damaged. An another bios update later.
    and we are back to (Block3)
    so it does not write in the bios
    DO NOT TRY THIS: can erase the part "failsafe" of the bios
    ---------------------
    so the question is. Where should I go from here.

    I'm willing and able to unsolder the chip and flash also
    but I don't have a bios not 'complete' user flashable part only of it since the official updates of the file...

    can I order a new chip preflashed somewhere?

    can I somehow totally clear the bios user box then it reflashing?

    can - I somehow replace the bios (more than the standard chgbiosa way?)

    can I transplanted the and of a motherboard Portege 2000
    (the failsafe will start so I can flash with a bios P2010?)

    I can start another tool, describing it as "chgbiosa.exe" on the floppy drive, which can be useful

    can I do the smaller biosfile, so it won't need block3 (remove the logo toshiba etc.)
    from the rom file?

    Any suggestions are appreciated

    This notebook is a project of the company. I am prepared to do anything...

    Hello

    So many questions, and most of them must be answered by technicians. I really think you need professional help. I recommend you to call the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
    To be honest, I don't think that you will be able to order this chip anywhere. Speak with the service.

    By the way: mainboard renovated for Portege 2000/2010 with work well chip BIOS, I found on eBay for 39 euros, so if you can not do anything and BIOS repair buy new motherboard, Exchange and be happy.

    Furthermore, I Portege 2000 and it's really nice laptop.

  • AT300 unrecognized external power - system update is not possible

    I have an AT300 bought in the United States, but I live in Germany. I bought a Kensington absolute Power Dual USB wall adapter with 2. 1 is to connect the USB charging cable to charge the tablet that works very well. Now, the Toshiba Service Station concludes a update for the Tablet system however, an update is not possible because the update process think that a charging cable is not attached, even it is. Why the Tablet does not recognize the connected charger cable? How can I do a system update? What is the difference between the wall adapter to the United States and the Europe Kensington adapter?

    My guess would be that Toshiba has put a few resistors-ID in the data line in the standard charger so you can identify it.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing to see. The recovery image is created for each laptop model and may not be used for the different laptop models. Can you imagine the situation you can use each medium recovery on each laptop model?

  • Portege 2010 - clicks of death? -Perhaps the HARD drive is dead

    Hello

    A few minutes ago, I tried to start my portege 2010, who worked a few hours ago. Now, I do not even past the BIOS screen because the disc is of strange noises, as leaders try to enter the post, but fail. I have to admit that yesterday the system froze for no obvious reason but I didn't know that this was due to a failure to come, I just rebooted the machine and it behaved like any other day. So I'm rather perplexed, how the disaster could hit so suddenly. The portege is out of the warranty period, so I guess there is no way get around to buy a new drive. I wonder if this problem is a common problem among the Portégé series, I think I remember an article published online by indicating this.

    Hello Steffen

    If Toshiba STAS 10 000 or more laptop computers Portege 2010 and you find one or 10 other users with the same symptoms of HARD drive, it cannot be any kind of common problem. Common problem is something else.

    According to your description, is it really possible the HARD drive shows signs of dysfunction. All you can do is to watch carefully what happens in the next few days and if the HDD feature fails, you must buy a new HARD drive. All that s!

    If you will be able to start it in some way I recommend you back up all your data (e.g. on USB key) before the HARD disk fails completely.

  • Faulty display on Portege 2010

    I have a 3 years Portege 2010. When I use it today the display started to go white, up and down, and then went black. When I restart it I get the Toshiba logo and the first two screens to boot Windows, but then the screen goes black. Sometimes I get more than others before the screen goes black - for example sometimes, I get as far as connecting Windows then it (i.e. Windows) freezes. Sometimes it crashes on the first screen of "Toshiba", before it crashes. Sometimes it gets past the boot selection menu and then I get a BSOD (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL).

    I also noticed that if I press the two ends of the (extended) battery the display begins to break up.

    This sounds like a faulty screen or a faulty connection? If the latter is this something I could try to fix me? If not, what is the approximate cost of the setting of this kind of thing?

    TIA
    Ian

    Hello

    There are a lot of different issues with the display relly. Really, I n know where to start with comments. ;)

    I presume that you can install the recovery image to get rid of BSODS and check how it works with the external monitor. I guess that on an external display it won't you have problems with the black and white display.

    As you know on this path, it is not easy to give any kind of diagnosis. If everything works well with external display problem is LCD. If the external monitor, you will notice some strange behavior, it may result from the graphics chip on the motherboard. The test please a bit more intensively.

  • Blank white display on Portege 2010

    I have a Portege 2010 and I have a strange error with the display. Most of the time it works perfectly, but sometimes it shows just a white to white.

    Just by pressing Fn + F5 has no effect on the screen, but when I plug in an external monitor in (even if it is disabled) and press Fn + F5 a couple of times that restores normal operation.

    Is there a particular part of the system that I need to check?

  • Linux for Portege 2010 SD card reader driver / controller

    Hello
    I use Ubuntu Linux 6.10 on my Portege 2010. Things seem to work well, but I'm unable to download a driver for my SD card unit.
    Issues related to the:
    1. where can I find it?
    2 - is the SD card controller in this support of laptops SD Host Controller Specification of the Association from the SD card to http://www.sdcard.org/HostController/index.html?

  • Satellite L755-14Z - CPU upgrade possible?

    Hi mate

    I agree with Akuma.
    Update CPU is very difficult. The fact is that even if the chipset would support the new processor, it is really hard to tell if the BIOS would be able to manage the new processor.

    So, in the worst cases, the BIOS will not work with a new game and wouldn't boot the laptop.

    But why you want to replace the CPU in L755? This new model of notebook with a good processor.
    Even if you want to put a new processor, you will not notice big performance push so I think CPU upgrade is not really necessary in your case.

  • Update CPU Portege 7200 is available?

    Hello Toshiba-community!

    I have a Toshiba Portege 7200 with the following configuration:

    -P3 600 MHz
    -320 MB OF RAM
    -12 GB HARD DRIVE

    However, the laptop works well, but the processor is pretty slow.

    So I tried _upgrade CPU_ with a faster P3.

    My questions are:
    Is this possible?
    What are the requirements?

    A lot, I searched the internet but I have not found a solution for this issue.

    Do you have a? :-)

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Usually these improvements are not easy, and in most cases to possible and undesirable.

    In most cases the different CPU can result in problems with the BIOS.
    In addition, the higher CPU speed would produce more heat dissipation that could lead to overheating.

    That is why it s not advisable to upgrade the processor
