  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Can some help me?

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:

• Satellite A500-138 'unknown device' in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I am the owner of a Satellite A500-138 - Part Number: PSAM3E - 013014H 2.
  I just finished the upgrade of the o/s from the horrible vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Update was smooth. Drivers and utilities were easily on your website and install it correctly. Almost everything seems to beworking OK...
  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  2. I can't find the Manager of LAN/WLAN cool utility that came with vista.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi friend,

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500 - 138 (PSAM3E) - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello guys.

  I decided to upgrade the HARD drive in my Toshiba A500-138 1 - years, (PSAM3E). Now, I have 400 GB HARD drive and would like to have 1 TB - Toshiba MK1059GSM to be precise. The only thing that prevents me to order it now, is that this HARD drive is 12.5 mm high, while my old 400 GB is 9.5 mm (that you can consider as standard).

  Don't you think it would fit in the A500 chasis? Perhaps someone did a similar upgrade in the past?

  One last thing - Toshiba A500 will be same recognize the HARD drive? I think that 1 - year, laptop should not have a problem with it, but I could be wrong.

  Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated :)

  Kind regards.

  I had the same situation on my old Satellite A300 and I can say that you can use the two HDD. It doesn t matter what the hard top. You can use both of them.

  I assume that you are the first one here on this forum with these updates and it will be nice to hear your personal experience, but I think that the new HARD drive should be recognized correctly on this new model of laptop.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C660-219

  Hello.

  I wonder just to upgrade CPU on my laptop to get some perfomance.
  I did the upgrade of RAM to 8 gb and 64 bit Win7.
  Now, it's processor i3 - 370 M (3 m cache, 2.40 GHz).

  I'm sure I can go to i3 - 390 M (3 m Cache, 2.66 GHz) processor, but it will be useless IMO.
  It has same Cache and just a little bit faster CPU count:

  I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?

  Sorry for my poor English, but I think you will have a point of my case.
  I do not want to play games, but need more power for hd video editing when I'm outside my home office

  > I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?
  You should know that upgrades of processors are not supported by any laptop manufacturer. This means that no one can tell if a CPU would be fully compatible and cause no worries. These upgrades are own risk.

  You could read this statement from Toshiba about upgrades.
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

  The point is that even the chipset which is part of the motherboard would support the new processor, BIOS would not fully compatible and the combination of BIOS and the new processor may cause new troubles.

  The camera seems to supports the INTEL HM55 chipset and to my knowledge, the Toshiba Satellite C660/C665/Pro C660 series is based on a Dual Core/Quad Core Processor (* Intel Arrandale processors *)

  So if you want to find a compatible CPU, you should check the processors owned by the family of processors Intel Arrandale.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite P100-434

  Satellite P100-434 BIOS v 4.80 does support the Core2Duo T7500 Intel proccessor?

  I'm currently have T5500 and want to update to T7500, is the same thing but I don't know the motherboard/BIOS card can support this CPU?

  I advance thank you

  For CPU upgrade, there are several different important things and not the BIOS only.

  Check it please this Toshiba document initially - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  BTW: I m not sure but I think you can find similar topics related to upgrade CPU on P100. Use the advanced search in this forum. Maybe you'll find some interesting discussions.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite C70 - A - 16 L

  Hello, first of all I apologize for my bad English hahaha.

  I have a Satellite C70 - A - 16 L with pemtium processor I want to change it to an i3, i5 or a i7, is it possible?

  Thank you

  Upgrade CPU on laptops is not supported. This means that no one will be able to tell if the new CPU would work and if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade.

  Primarily this unit seems to be new. In this case, the warranty is still valid. If you disassemble the notebook in order to remove the CPU, you will void the warranty.
  I put t think it's worth a try.

  PS: even if you want to put a new processor, the performance gain is not noticeable. In my opinion better upgrade would be the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L350-14Y

  Hell,

  I'm french so my enclise is approximate.
  I have to computer laptop satellite L350-14Y
  Intel cèleront 560. I would like to apgrade processor with a dual core (T2340). Is this possible?
  Can wich processor I upgrade my laptop please?

  Thank you very much

  In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  Problem is that Toshiba offers no information on compatible processors that can be used on this laptop. Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive.

  This Satellite is old enough laptop model that can be used for everyday operations, so I see no reason to upgrade CPU. What do you need more performance?

  In my opinion, you can increase the Ram to the maximum level and exchange the original HDD with SSD faster.
  This will increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly and you can do it alone without any risk.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A100-521

  Hi all, looks like a good forum here! I'm looking for more information about upgrading the processor on my Satellite A100-521.

  The current main specifications are:
  Intel Celeron M 360 (1.4 Ghz, 400 Mhz FSB)
  2 GB RAM PC2-4300
  60GB OCZ SSD 2 Vortex
  Windows 7 (works well, but without Aero)

  So it's the CPU that's the weak link, verified by the Windows performance index.

  I did some research and it seems that the chipset is AMD Radeon Xpress 200 m http://www.amd.com/u...s-200m-amd.aspx which is apparently compatible with some Pentium and Core 2 CPU: http://en.wikipedia...s_200_for_Intel

  Any ideas what I could update? Didn't need to be very fast, just a little faster with the processes of daily...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Upgrading CPU is generally very delicate due to the compatibility of the BIOS.
  Although the chipset would be able to handle new CPU, BIOS can cause problems.
  But no one is able to say that if cell would stable after these updates if you want to be 100% sure, I recommend choosing a CPU that has already been used in the A100 series
  Otherwise, it would be possible that new CPU would not be addressed by BIOS correctly.

  The question is...

  I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

  Respect,
  enteoana

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
  So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

  Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
  Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
  Type of module - SO-DIMM

  So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
  You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

  If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
  Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

• Satellite A500-138 - battery gets smaller when it is off

  Hello!

  I recently bought the A500-138 and I noticed that if the computer turns off for more than half a day the battery power is lower.
  For example, after 2 days when the computer does not work at all the battery starts to 88%.

  It it normal or there is a problem with the battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  I n t have any new Satellite A500, but on my Satellite A300, I got the same problem battery gets low when it was off.

  After searching a bit here in the forum, I founded that I disable the Wake-On-LAN feature in the BIOS. In addition, I recommend disabling the function USB Sleep & Charge you can find also in the BIOS.

  It works for you too?

  Good bye

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A40

  Hello

  I m wondering if anyone knows what the best processor I can put in my Satellite A40, as the current is on its way and so I m wondering if I can put in a Pentium M because I think he has the same socket.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  To be honest I recommend you to use the option of advanced search on this forum and use CPU upgrade as a term to search and read some of the proposed topics. I hope you know that people think upgrade CPU.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite P10 (PSP16)

  Please can someone tell me what is the best processor on the motherboard of my Satellite P10 to support? I have a P4 HT 2.60.
  I'm ready to be replaced by other better performance (I don't like on the battery life or heat :))

  Hi Mohamed

  What to say. Generally, a replacement of CPU on laptops is not possible or not easily and very delicate.
  Why? Because
  -n t know whether the processor is welded.
  -n t know if the laptop will run stable after upgrade CPU due to heat
  -n t know if BIOS will be compatible with the new processor, etc.

  However, you should start to know check the basic information of the chipset and check which processors support the Intel chipset. I think that you will find all the details on the chipset on the Intel page. This is a basic condition for the CPU upgrade

  In any case as talked about above the CPU upgrade is usually not possible that a person could not give a guarantee that the phone will work after these updates, so be careful!

  Good bye
