• Problem running 4,80 Bios Update on the Satellite P100-473

  Hello
  I have a satellite P100-473 enriched with 4 GB of ram, using ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64 with nvidia driver.

  Problem with often increase GPU to high temperature (over 100 ° C) using sensors applet to check.

  I guess that's a BIOS and a driver problem.

  Windows 7 x 64 I don't have this problem with the latest nvidia driver (using speedfan to check the temperature)

  I tried to Flash the bios with the latest version => _Update.exe BD1_BIOS (V4.80) version 4.0, I actually and all flashing same mistake you Error - 121. update of DXE etc...

  While the .exe to extract the contents of the flash on your c:\tmp I'll try a bios flash with a bootable usb key and phlash.exe with the BD13C43. WPH.

  The problem is to find the phlash.exe official back... Phoenix does not provide such tools ;(

  I understand the need of simple bios flash on windows... but I don't understand the .iso missing for flashing at the start when the operating system does not match...

  If you have an idea thanks ;)

  Toshiba has offered traditional old BIOS updated (diskette), a long time ago. Now you can find WIN updates only.
  You can try to contact the closest service Toshiba and ask if they have traditional BIOS update.

• Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

  Hello guys,.

  First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
  As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

  The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
  I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

  To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
  Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

  Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.

  Hello

  As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
  In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

  In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

• Fusion drive vs 7200 RPM HARD drive, it is worth the difference in price?

  I have the beginning 2009 24 "clocked at 2.66 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo w/4 GB memory.  I have 86 GB of capacity, 83 GB available on my hard drive but I get these days, turn the beach balls, delayed typing, and 5-6 min restarts (if it does not crash).

  (1): I started in recovery mode, run Disk Utility first aid on the three volumes that I configured and also to perform first aid on my external HD backup and time Machine external HD to ensure that those to external systems were functioning properly.  They are.

  (2) I ran Disk Warrior on all volumes and Cocktail on bootable disks.

  So... is probably time to let decision-making in early 2009 iMac.  Looking at the new, I wonder if the 27 "1 TB drive merger is worth the difference in price of the 1 TB 7200 RPM HARD drive?  I only do the usual things: mail, loading some photos (about 12 000 photos in iPhoto), web searches, etc.  No big, heavy use.

  It the additional sum of $200. Fusion drive worth it?

  For this purpose? N °

• Try to get the HD-DVD player to work on the Satellite P100-463

  Hello world.
  I bought this baby the weekend and since I am struggeling trying to get HD-DVDs to work on it. I added the HD_DVD xbox 360 drive, but Power DVD Software Advisor continues to say that the graphic card 9Geforce Go 7900) drivers must be updated to read HD-DVD content. Now, there is no available such as newer driver installed (84.0?)

  Can someone please advise if the card supports protection hdcp anyway? Maybe my problem is another source.
  Thanks for the tips.

  Wait do you use player designed for the Xbox in the Satellite P100?
  Hmm, I m surprised that this device is compatible with the Toshiba laptop.
  Anyway, as far as I know you need a special DVD player to play and watch HD-DVD on the laptop.
  A simple WinDVD does not support the new HD-DVD.

  By the way: I know a Toshiba model that shipped with the HD_DVD drive.
  It was a Qosmio G30 DVD HD model.
  I found a new Nvidia GeForce Go7600 8.3.2.7 Version graphics card driver update in the download section of driver on the Toshiba site
  But I put t know if it s compatible with your card...

• Satellite U500 - where to get a new HARD drive during the warranty?

  Hello world

  I bought my Toshiba Satellite U500 some months in London, and a few days ago my hard drive starts to give me a such difficulties that do not correctly read and given the weird sounds. And finally at boot up to yesterday, its giving me this message "Pri Master hard disk: extended S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 for cont...» »

  Now, I realized that I need a new HD and that one is not usable. What I was wondering, is it possible to keep in touch no matter what service provider Toshiba in order to get the new HD cos this machine is almost brand NEW.

  Can someone give me an advice what to please, it would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Edward_4,

  I agree with you. You need a new HARD drive as soon as possible because it s not recommendable to record data on a failed HARD drive.

  In any case, it should t be a problem. You must contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Technicians can order a new HARD drive for you and Exchange. This should be free, because your laptop is under warranty so it s age of a few months.

  On the Toshiba site is a list of all s ASP. This seems to be your interlocutor ;)

• Satellite A50: Question about type RAM and HARD drive

  Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
  All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

  Here is all the information I found.

• Someone at - it problems of heat upgrade to a 7200 RPM HARD drive in a MacBook Pro 13,3 "2.5 GHz Core i5 (A1278) - mid-2012, MD101LL/A?

  HI - it would be an update of the stock 5400 RPM, 500 GB HARD drive. The 7200 drive I bought is 1 TB.  Thanks in advance for any help!

  As long as it's a SATA HDD with a 2.5 form factor ", it will be compatible.  You experience a slight increase in performance with the faster HARD drive, but it will not appear in 50% faster than the 5400 RPM HARD drive.

  Ciao,.

  Addendum: There will be no observable heat problems.  I did it several times myself on all of my 4 Mbps.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hannu

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?

  Hello

  I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?

  And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?

  Hello!

  Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.

  I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.

  A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?

  Good bye

• Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

  What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

  Hi turboiwan,

  As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

  For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

• Satellite P300-135 system issues using two HARD drives

  About a month ago I bought a faster hard drive for my laptop (because it wasn't hard drive 5400 RPM by default), and computer technicians to the store where I bought my laptop has recommended a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 250410.

  The first couple of days everything went smooth, but after that, every second, restart my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit) reports of problems with my video card, sometimes 'Windows cannot initialize the device of this hardware driver. (Code 37) ", the other time"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. " (Code 43) ", and when this error occurs, the keyboard and the keyboard do not work too.
  I made a simple and primitive diagnosis by deleting the second hard drive and rebooted 5 or 6 times, and everything went very well.

  So I think the problem is that the laptop has not enough power for two hard disks. Is it true, or is my phone begins to fail?

  Sorry for my mistakes of language, but English is my second language.

  Hello

  Usually the second HDD should not affect the performance of the system, but it of impossible
  So maybe you should test the specifications and performance of OS using another HARD drive maybe a HARD disk that takes in charge of 5400 RPM

• Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

  Hello together

  I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
  Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

  Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
  The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
  After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

  In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

  Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Anyone know a solution?

  I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
  It's worth to try ;)

• 24GB flash acceleration Cache HDD & 1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

  I am considering buying the ENVY 17 t-j100 TouchSmart Quad Edition.  Two custimization options are:

  24GB flash acceleration Cache hard drive

  1 TB 5400 RPM hard drive hybrid

  As I understand it, these two use SSD to accelerate the performance of the hard disk.  I have a few questions:

  Is there a difference between the two?

  How many GB of SSD are on the drive hybrid?

  You can get both, or would they overlap?

  Thank you.

  Yes, there is a difference. The hybrid hard drive is home to the NAND Flash inside the car. Acceleration is made by the player himself. Hybrid hard drives are faster than a disk mechanical spinner, but the MSSD cache acceleration is faster. Faster is a full SSD. Cache Accelerator speed up startup and loading frequently used programs but doesn't do much for read/write sustained speeds. However, it makes the whole computing experience better. start time of 15 seconds and resume almost instantly from sleep, for example. The hybrid propulsion system is just a regular hard disk gradually faster. I would get the WSSD of 24 concert and you need not the hybrid car with her and I think that they only Pack the WSSD of 24 concert with a player standard spinner.
