Update Win7 the Satellite L500/00W (PSLK0A-00W009)

Hello

A month ago, I bought the laptop above from JB HiFi in Melbourne, Australia. It came with 64-bit Windows Vista home premium. I am registered for the windows 7 release to level and paid $ 29.

My question is, will I get Windows 7 64 bit? Because when ordering No. upgrade where he stated if I get windows 7 64 bit.
And he never asked if I had vista 64-bit. So, how toshiba will know will send me 64 bit win 7?

Thank you

Matt

Hello

I m not very well, but I think that you have received the laptop with Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS. Is this good?
In this case, you can choose in the installation menu that Vista to install; 32-bit or 64-bit.

I guess that you will get your Vista installed the same Windows 7 operating system.
So if you have Vista 64 bit, you should get Win 7 64 bit.

The point is that the Windows Vista to Windows 7 upgrade does not require the removal of Windows Vista before installing Windows 7.
That's why I m thinking you can Win 7 64 bit.

    Hello

    2 weeks ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500/00W and today I was reading something online that this grey screen with lines to come...
    He did so twice already... I do worry...

    This could be the cause? How should I do? This happen to anyone else?

    Thank you
    Lily

    Hello

    I m not L500 owner so I can't tell you if that happened or not.
    I A200 and U400 for my company and I didn t have shown such symptoms in the past

    He signed strange s if the display changes the brightness and display vertical lines.
    It might be a problem of display or something with the graphics card.

    If you see this new symptom then I would recommend connecting the laptop for external monitor to check if the same would be visible on the screen 2.

    If the same would be seen on 2nd screen there is a big chance that and GPU would be affected.

  • Update firmware BIOS Satellite L500-1

    Hello

    I am looking for an update of firmware Bios Satellite L500-1 CPU Intel T7300 SLA45 support.
    The previous CPU was Intel® Celeron® Processor 900 SLGLQ
    The latest version of the Bios is
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-file...135948.zip

    The system turns on, but there is a prompt F1, after that the system starts normally.
    Thanks in advance

    These updates are not available on the public download page so that you can try is to contact Toshiba nearest service and ask for help.
    I m quite pessimistic in this regard because Toshiba doesn't support the exchange of CPU or upgrade. I guess you know who. Do you have?

  • Update BIOS bricked Satellite L500 - 19 X

    Hello

    I was reorganize laptop for my nephew (Satellite L500-19 X PSLS0E-00F01DEN part number), store files etc, exceptional application updates etc and foolishly accepted utility offers the Toshiba to upgrade the BIOS that froze completely part thru (in step 11 of 37 IIRC).

    I now nothing more than a black screen.

    I have a few it skills, I have looked around and would go down to the WINCRIS. Road EXE create a bootable USB key to recover in this way.

    However, the last BIOS for this laptop seems to be a .exe file, not a zip file where I could extract the boot rom.

    Guess who I still have the ability to take the reader from the laptop to try to recover the bios backup file update utility says it recorded on another machine you use to try to decrease that way, but I'd be grateful any advice - or even a bootable image - anyone could offer.

    Guess I'm hoping for too many feel Toshiba could provide such an image...

    Thank you

    > However, the last BIOS for this laptop seems to be a .exe file, not a zip file where I could extract the boot rom.

    The exe file isn t real exe file but it s a package.
    You can extract this exe by right-clicking and choosing extract here

    I use WinRAR to extract the package. Also, WinZip or 7Zip should work.

    But to be honest I m not very good if you want to be able to solve this problem.
    To my knowledge a crisis of the BIOS disk would need to reflash the EPROM module and generally, this can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba

    However, please keep us updated.

  • Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

    I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

    If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
    This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.

    I have a toshiba Satellite L500 and windows vista is full of AppCrashes, so I wanted to restore the windows partition. The problem is that I can't start the rom of windows recovery by pressing F8 or hdd recovery by pressing the 0 key.

  • The bottom left of the Satellite L500 gets hot

    I have tried to understand it, but can't find any decent help on that.

    I have a 5 years old toshiba Satellite L500 and continues to get very hot on the lower left side. Now, I know that my hard drive is in the bottom right and this side never gets hot. So what I need to know is really what the balls - what is getting hot at the bottom left?

    I can't find patterns that can tell me exactly which part is which on the inside, so I have no idea of what gives me questions when I'm using the internet or play games. I have a fan in my laptop and it is on a surface of grated so air can get to it easily. The problem lies in the lower left hand side.

    As is - this does anyone have an idea why the low 1-1, 5 cm my screen gets too hot? It would be great! Thank you.

    As a writer, it is very worrying that these things as I need my laptop to stay alive for a year or two. (Cannot afford a new and use it for literally everything I do...)

    > So what I need to know is really what the balls - what is getting hot at the bottom left?
    How about the vents?

    The left side for laptop contains cooling grids, and you will find the cooling fans.
    Hot air flow by the left hand side so the surface s mobile is hot

  • SSD SATA2 drive would work with the Satellite L500 - 11 d

    A sata2 SSD would work with my Toshiba Satellite L500 - 11 d

    Thanks in advance!

    I put t see serious reasons why it should not work.
    The HARD disk controller is capable SATA and the SATA2 is compatible, which means that you can use 2 disc HARD SATA or SSD drives as well.

  • Problem installing BIOS update on the satellite U series

    Installation of Toshiba TEMPRO informed me there's an update of the BIOS (published April 7, 2010) must be installed.

    When I received this notification I downloaded the .zip file and extract its content - BIOS_UPDATE_V170.exe-, but the execution of this file, I got a popup error saying < file "c:\". ' is not accessible >. I decided there must be a bug in the installer that will be corrected in time, so I have nothing and waited.

    Today, I received another notice that the BIOS update was available, but even once, I get the same error. My c:\ folder seems OK!
    The BIOS file is in C:\TOSHIBA\ARSENAL10_10G_BIOS_UPDATE_V170_WIN where I extracted to (having initially tried to run my downloads folder, I thought I'd try also, but it seems to make no difference).

    Can anyone offer any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    If not, how can I get advice from Toshiba?

    See you soon

  • Update on the Satellite A100 HDD

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100 (PSAA9A-0CU004), which came with a 80 GB hard drive.
    Anyone know the max HDD capacity this notebook can handle, as I want to upgrade to a larger disk.

    Thank you

    AFAIK the Satellite A100 already has a HARD drive with SATA interface.

    On the SATA interface, there is no capacity limit you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface, what you want.
    The new HARD disk must have SATA and 2.5.

  • Update on the Satellite 2550 & Satellite 4030CDT

    Hello!

    I whant to uprgade both of this old laptop, and I need to know the maximum installable material.
    (1) how much RAM I can install on them? Says card 128 MB, but what if I update to bios?
    (2) and what the installable maximum capacity of HARD drive? In the other forum, I found 4030 with 10 GB of HARD drive, but I think that this is not the limit.
    (3) to 4030 CPU installed in the MMC1 location, what is high CPU of the page who might be working there? In my dead laptop battery pack and the two 10.8V. Then I bought every new battery Toshiba and replace them?
    It is not bootable USB 4) in two books. How can I solve this problem? If I buy PCMCIA SATA or USB controller will boot them?
    (5) I take a look at the inside in my laptop and I found two small rounded cells in 4030. What are doing?
    (6) such a USB port that installed on two laptops is 1.1 and I can't do anything to upgrade?

    Thanks in advance! ZAC

    -power options:

    Official statement is 4 GB HDD for Satellite 2550CDT and satellite 2590CDT 6 GB HARD drive.
    It is not easy to find these info, but maybe you can use 10 GB of HARD drive. I don't know about you.
    The BIOS update has nothing to do with it and new version of the BIOS is not designed to increase the values of upgrade hardware, but to correct serious problems.

    According to the specification of the computer laptop Satellite 2550CDT has Celeron 366 CPU and Satellite 2590CDT Celeron 400. Both processors have the same bus clock I presume that you can upgrade the processor Celeron 400.

    With disk HARD is the same. Official statement is 4 GB. You can try to install 10 GB. I have not found information on processors. He is almost 11 portable model and to pick up some info relevant is nothing but mission impossible. ;)

    Try to contact the nearest authorized in the hope that they can help, but, to be honest, I'm not sure they're going to waste their time with these oldies.
    --------------------------------------------------

    (4) there is nothing to fix, because it isn't a feature not work type. These oldies can't boot from the USB port. And how you want to enable the PCMCIA port work like port bootable? Forget it.
    (5) the RTC battery and spare battery
    (6) maybe using PCMCIA card with USB 2.0 ports

    Good luck!
