• Update hard disc on Satellite L350 - 10L

  Hello

  Anyone has improved their Satellite L350 - 10L for one SSD hard drive and if so, have you noticed a difference and the big question, was easy?

  Thank you
  Chris

  Hello Chris

  Very long ago I had Satellite L300 and this series is known for me.
  At that time I didn't even think about these updates.
  The Satellite L Series notebooks are machines of low budget and hardware configuration is not one that suits.
  In other words, they are designed for daily activities. I can understand that you may want to increase the performance of your hardware, but my personal opinion is that the SSD is not the best solution. In my opinion you should not spend a lot of money for upgrades. Memory improve maximum and that s.

  What do you think of all this?

• Update hard disc on Satellite L20

  Hi all

  I would like to change the hard drive of my Satellite L20-260...
  I installed a hard MK4026GAX drive, I would like to replace it with a bigger... by taking a peek on the internet I found hard drives as MK8032GAX...

  Yes, 80 is the size (80 GB) but 32 what means? Can someone tell me is this hard disk can replace my old (one broken too) a?

  Hello

  I put t knows what means the 32 at the end of the number, but the disk HARD of MK8032GAX supports Ultra DMA/100 (ATA-6) interface.

  To my knowledge the Satellite L20 260 supports serial ATA (SATA) interface.
  You must use the s HARD drive that supports this and don t buy HARD drive that supports IDE interface because you will not be able to connect it to the laptop.

  In addition, the compatibility of the BIOS is very important. In many cases, the BIOS cannot recognize the HARD drive because of the large size.
  According to your post, the laptop supports 40 GB HDD s. In my opinion the 80 GB should work and should be recognized.

  I recommend to visit the merchant of HARD drive in your area and ask for compatible HARD disk. Maybe you would be able to test it in the shop.

  Hello

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Have you noticed something strange with LED power control? It is also possible that the electronic power supply do troubled. Try to talk with authorized Toshiba and explain the situation. If you open only one Notepad, uneducated, it may be simply worse.

  Graphics card cannot be updated as on desktop computers. I put t know how it is on this model laptop but the graphics card is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded.

• Satellite Pro M40X - can not read MMC - SD card more than 1 GB

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro M40X but it read only MMC/SD with a capacity of 1 GB. If I try with 2GB or 4GB nothing appens. What can I do? What drivers I try to upgrade to Windows XP to be able to read cards up to 4 GB?

  thanx

  Hello

  The drive will not read the 4 GB SD card due to hardware limitation!
  CA? s not a software but a hardware problem!

  Even you will update the driver, it will not help get the 4 GB SD card running!
  I recommend to use an external card reader which can be connected to the USB port!

• Satellite Pro M40x: Problem strange modem

  I have a new TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO M40X with "TOSHIBA SOFTWARE MODEM" notebook inside.
  When I open the internet connection:

  -Once the modem is OK immediately and I have the internet connection.
  -a few times I once the error message "phone line is not compatible with this modem. Analog phone line are supported only. "Disable the signal: check the modem and phone line connection. But the second time everything is OK.
  -Sometimes I have to try several times before you have the modem with the telephone lines connection.

  Please help me solve this problem.
  Details of the modem driver: version 2.1.47.6 date 11/02/2004.

  Thank you
  Best regards

  Hello

  When you make a dial-up connection, a standard telephone line transmits information. Note that a phone is not necessary just the line. When the line is used for telecommunications, the phone line busy for incoming calls. In most cases, digital telephone lines do not work with analog modems. You must have a standard (analog) phone line to transmit information.

  In order to minimize interruptions, it is better to use a line that doesn't have a call on hold or multiple extensions. When a modem sharing a line with regular phones, it is important to inform people not to pick up the handset, while the modem is in use.

  If someone picks up an extension, they will be greeted with a shout loud and the modem disconnects. Incoming calls on a call waiting system will also cause the modem disconnect. You can use the function call waiting to cancel to avoid this problem.

  Another issue to consider is that some of the newer telephone systems are not compatible with standard modems. A school or professional phone that has a variety of features, such as call waiting, voicemail and call-one parking, maybe isn't compatible with a modem.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro M40X upgrade 2 GB

  I read that my satellite pro m40x can be improved _up to 2 Gb_ of Ram, but I see just an expansion slot.
  The internal memory is 512 MB.

  How is it possible to get 2 GB totally? Is there a module of 1.50 GB?

  See you soon

  First of all, are the existing no. 1, 5 GB modules on this planet. And I mean the whole of the planet. :)

  It's the second module is under the keyboard, which means:

  If you want 2 Gig of RAM, so you need to remove the keyboard and exchange the modules. That's all, but don t ask me how to exchange it.

  I don't know Don t. ;)

  Hello

  I would like to use my laptop (satellite pro M40x-115) as a DVD player. But when I connect my laptop to my TV, I get only a black and white display. I tried to solve this problem by installing the latest driver for my graphics card but it has not changed at all.

  How can I solve this?

  Greetz El Mariachi

  Hello

  Have you checked the graphics settings? The settings of the TV must be set to PAL (most of Europe).
  In addition, you should check your TV device if it s can receive the S-video signal.

• Solid State Hard Drives in Satellite Pro P750

  Toshiba Satellite Pro PSAY3A-0MR001 P750
  I need to know if I can install a drive hard solid state in Sat Pro P750 PSAY3A-0MR001 and then run the recovery cd disc set.

  Of course you can do it. I did it on my old Satellite P500 and it works perfectly.

• Addition of optical disc to Satellite Pro L830-17 t

  I just bought a Satellite Pro L830-17 t that has no optical drive. I would like to add one, but I noticed a video on the strange replacement on similar models, there is a bracket for the reader.

  This is necessary and if so where would I get a?

  Optical disc drive is fixed with a screw. For this you need a small piece of metal that must be fixed directly on the ODD. To be honest, it is not easy to just buy it. What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. I hope that they can order it for you.

  You can also get some info on these updates.
  I found information that some L830 models with ODD have Matsu * a STRANGE UJ862ABTJ-M indoors.

• Install the new hard drive on Satellite Pro 6100

  Hello

  I have the Satellite Pro 6100 and the hard drive has failed. Bought a new hard drive but have no idea where to begin to install it. Also, I have the product key for windows xp pro, but don't have a disc. Is there a way to get around get one, or someone has any ideas please?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hmmmm... It's very strange that you n t have idea how to start. Throughout history, there are only two options:
  -for the installation of an operating system you can use the original Toshiba Recovery disk that came with this laptop. If you n t have it then
  -use the Microsoft installation for the installation of the OS disc. All the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed Additionally one by one. Each of them you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads

  Please note: the product key at the bottom belongs to original recovery image so you probably won't be able to use it for the activation of the operating system.

• Set password Linux ATA hard drive / Toshiba Satellite Pro U200

  Sorry for the long post, but I want to be as specific as possible:

  1)
  I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 under Linux (OpenSUSE) for some years now. Works fine without problems so far, even the fingerprint reader works. I deleted and never used the Windows XP preinstalled.

  For security reasons, I have now decided to put a HDD ATA password, in case the laptop is lost or stolen (changed drive for a disk Seagate Momentus 7200 FDE.2 SATA II with full encryption of the disk material).

  In order to get the protection offered by the full disk encryption, I need to set a password for the ATA. During startup, the Bios must request the password and unlock the drive only when the password is correct.

  2)
  My problem is: in the Toshiba laptop it is impossible to set the hard drive ATA password directly in the bios (as is possible in HP laptops, for example). Toshiba there is only one way to set the password to disk, which is a software utility for Windows XP (named 'Assist'). But I don't want to change the operating system only to set this password.

  3)
  Therefore, I tried the linux instructions

  hdparm - user-master m - security-all-pass SecretMasterPassword/dev/sda
  hdparm - user-master u - security-all-pass SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  which are used for adjustment ATA passwords. Indeed, at first, it seems to work very well. The password is set and the drive is locked.

  4)
  When I restart the laptop, the Bios the HDD password request, as it should do.

  But he does not accept the SecretUserPassword prior to seizure. The answer is "wrong password", or similar.

  5)
  Analysis:

  I have no doubt that the password has been set correctly: I checked by restarting the laptop through rescue DVD in linux and unlock the disc via

  hdparm - user-master u - safety - unlock SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  in order to use it. No problem, it works as supposed to. After the release, the disc is usable as usual. And I can also disable the password via

  hdparm - user-master u - security - disable SecretUserPassword/dev/sda

  After you disable the password, the laptop starts normally again, but I have no password.

  When I re-enable the password bios Toshiba again asks the password during initialization, but does not accept the (correct) password on entry.

  6)
  Does anyone have an explanation for this behavior?

  Bios Toshiba has somehow changes the password entered by the user, before being sent to the disk? I think that this would be inconsistent with the ATA standard.

  Anyone managed to set/change the password to ATA in a way that the disc can be unlocked via the internal order of the Bios, without installation of Windows XP and the Toshiba Software 'Assist '?

  Thanks for reading this long post so far. Any response is welcome.

  Hello

  As you probably know Linux is not supported by Toshiba and if you n t get some good advice here I recommend you to visit a few Linux forums and try to discuss with experts in Linux it.

• 2nd hard drive in Satellite Pro P200

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite Pro P200.
  Anyone know where I can get an advance and a shopping cart to install a 2nd hard drive?

  As far as I know your laptop can be improved with the second HARD disk if the SATA connector is available.
  When you remove the HARD drive to the second HDD can you see it or not?

  I have the Satellite P200D with place for second HARD drive, but there is no connector HDD SATA upgrade is not possible.
