• Update of RAM and hard drive for Compaq 6710 b

  Hey guys,.

  I had Compaq 6710 b and I'll update my Ram and HARD drive on it with these (link here)

  On the system view, it says memory: 1.99 Gb and the Crucial site gives these details:

  Maximum memory: 4 GB
  Slots: 2

  But I looked under the hood of the ram and only thing I saw was a simple location with stick of 1 GB (below Sorry for bad quality and light photos)

  So then it just a single cell phone location? And I can buy a 1 x 4 GB DDR2 ram stick?

  Thank you

• Satellite L70-A-139 - guaranteed zero when removing the cover for the RAM and HARD drive

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L70-A-139 youcef.
  And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

  Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?
  I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD.
  The motherboard supports Sata III: D.

  Thank you!

  No, the mandate must still be valid.
  There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

  Then you should be able to upgrade the RAM and HARD drive.
  I think this info should be mentioned in the user manual too.

• Time to update the BIOS and firmware of remote management?

  I'll put up a 'new' ThinkServer RD630 (2954A6U). It was purchased for a project that never happened, and we are now dry and reuse to replace an old Office Server. The current firmware versions are:

  • BIOS: 2.05
  • ME: 2.1.5.73
  • BMC 1.7
  • IPMI 2.0

  Page 61 of the User Guide ThinkServer says, "update the BIOS on your server only if the new BIOS version specifically solves a problem you have. We don't recommend updates to the BIOS for servers that do not need. [...]"

  As far as I know, we have no problems. The system starts fine and runs Windows Server 2012 well enough.

  HERE'S MY QUESTION:

  Should I update the BIOS and firmware IMM (remote management) to the current version? Are there hidden problems, security issues or other concerns that it is worth?

  Other indicators of initial configuration that you can share with a new admin would be much appreciated, too! Thank you.

  With the help of the Lenovo Support, I was able to fix my problem where I couldn't get to the menu of the BIOS of the 630 RD (in F1) and all I saw was a cursor on the screen. I describe the procedure in detail here:

  Thank you to all those who commented above and especially to those who have sent me suggestions via PMs.

• Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer

  Original title: I need help with my Hardrive

  Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).

  In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.

  I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.

  So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.

  Thank you guys

  Hi Joemost,

  As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.

  There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.

  Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
  a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
  b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
  c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
  d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
  e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart.  Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
  f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.

• Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

  Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

  If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

  Hello

  Sorry, but you question is a bit confusing.

• Update the BIOS and system health report question

  I have two questions to ask you.

  1. I just bought a Quad DV6T-7000 a month ago. I'm unable to create a report of health system through the control panel > performance & information > advanced tools > generate system health report.  I get an error saying "cannot run" with no other information. It apparently came from HP in this way. Something has been corrupted? I have configured my laptop the way I like it and have installed all programs and applications of my previous laptop, so I hope that I don't need to do an installation of windows 7 to fix this. It is not really important. But it should work.

  2 HP Support Assistant automatically installs updates to bios, or is it something that has to be done manually? I am currently set to auto critical or important updates. There is an update of the bios (f.22 I think) available for my Pavilion DV6T - 7000 Quad Edition, however, I am wary to update my bios given the many problems that people have after doing an update their bios.  So far, HP support Assistant has not notified me of the update and I have problems with the problems it addresses. Should I be worried?

  Thank you, appreciate your making this feature expert day!

But it should work. , You can run the System File Checker to see if there are problems of file system.  Open a command prompt with admin permissions and type sfc/scannow, and then on enter. The files of your operating system will be inspected and the files that are supposed to be corrupted or damaged will be replaced with fresh copies of the repository own Windows file.  If this does not resolve the problem, then I suggest that you run Windows update. There may be an update that resolves this problem

Should I be worried? I recommend not updating the BIOS if everything works. Updated the BIOS, just because you can, this is certainly an adventure risky for most people.

  Does your laptop have a UEFI environment.  This in fact safe update the BIOS if you decide to do.

   

  You can set the HP Support Assistant to install updates or to notify you when updates are available.

  I recommend that you do not set automatically update anything. My preference is that the Windows operating system and the laptop / desktop only doing what I want to do and when I want them to... That way I don't get surprises not unexpected and mysterious death blue screens or black screens.

  You highlight the files to delete (Ctrl-click to select) and simply press the delete key. You get a dialog box with a check box to specify whether you want also deleted from the disk.

• Portege 7220cte: I want to move the RAM and HARD drive

  Hi all...

  I read on the internet that the 7220cte is particularly picky about his type of RAM.
  I want to improve it with an extra 256 MB. (From what I have found he needs a 16chip of low-density extra-flat 144pin sdram PC100 16 x 8)

  I can't figure out if it's just the PA3051U that is compatible or PA3069U is good as well (seems to have the same features, but its a little cheaper)

  http://UK.insight.com/apps/Productpresentation/index.php?product_id=KTEA020E2&cm_mmc=Froogle-_-E3-_-KT-_-KTEA020E2&src=FRO1
  And it will be good for example?
  http://www.laptop.co.il/products/41331

  How does one know if she has available to low density 16 x 8 or another, if she did not mention the specs? they say only PC100 256 MB Sodimm...

  I found a few PDF Toshiba with the list of the original expansion, only the PA3051U was listed... that's why I got scared.

  Also I would like to add a hard drive, nobody knows if a drive of 80GB 2.5 "will be compatible with the bios... ?

  M a n y t h a n k s...

  Hello

  First of all, please note that the Portege 7220CTE memory can be improved up to 320 MB. The laptop supports the 64 MB internal memory. This type of memory is fixed and cannot be removed or upgraded.

  There is only one slot for expandable memory, and you can put max 256 MB module.

  I found this site which provides the module for Portege 7220CTE specifications:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5388&ft=m&St=3

  As you have already said that the laptop takes supported modules SODIMM 144 pin PC100 and in my opinion each strip memory SODIMM 256 MB 144-pin PC100 must be compatible.

• Update the BIOS and features on Satellite A60-682

  I have experienced a massive fall in my laptop.
  I tried to run the Toshiba Recovery disk and I also tried to format the drive with the XP installation CD. However, any attempt to recover the laptop (or even clean it and install it from scratch) have failed.
  From the looks of it, it would be that the BIOS is corrupted (probably due to a virus).

  This is why I would like to reinstall the latest version of the BIOS to see if I can overcome this problem.

  I went through for a few hours but could ' t, find a download for my laptop. It is a model of serias Satellite A60 (SA60-682). Any chance that you could - can someone provide me with the latest version of BIOS for this model?

  Thank you

• Question about updating the BIOS and drivers

  Hello

  First time user. How will I know if I need to update bios and drivers? I don't want to go crashing my system, just because Toshiba say these items are available for my laptop! They were probably in the updates of windows?

  Help, please.

  Hi Andy

  Welcome to our small community
  First a little advice you should always write the name of your laptop.

  OK now, to you in general I have a question would not recommend to update anything if you laptop and operating system is stable and you don t have problems.
  Of course the update of the driver is not risky, but I would only run updates some compatibility problems with 3rd party software or hardware appears.

  The update of the BIOS is risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM module on the map. So be careful.

• Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

  Hi all

  my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

  Thank you

  Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
  According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
  You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

  I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  Good bye
