• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro M50?

  Is it possible to upgrade the processor on a Satellite Pro M50 to say an Intel Pentium M 755 SL7EM Socket 479 (mPGA479M) or is the BIOS locked to accept only Celeron M 350J, 360J, 370, 380?

  You should first check chipset compatibility.
  IIN case the chipset would support the new processor, you have a good chance to get the laptop works properly.

  I think the old series M50 Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset support.
  So, theoretically the
  -Intel Pentium-M Dothan (725/730/740/750/760/770) 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.13 GHz
  and
  -Intel Celeron-M Dothan (350J, 360J, 370) 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz
  should be compatible.

  But be aware that portable upgrades from manufacturers don t support the CPU.
  So no one can tell which device is supported by the BIOS.

  Also, the Pentium CPU would create and produce more heat and this may affect the functionality of the laptop. In the worst case system and the RAM would be crashes due to the higher temperature.

• 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

  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 Pro A10

  Hello

  I have a PSA15E A10-IN running a celeron 2.0 chip. Anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the processor and if what chips it would take? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  In most cases, the upgrade of the CPU is not possible because of the BIOS and chipset restrictions.
  But sometimes it is possible to use a different CPU, which is supported by the chipset.
  I have no idea what chipset supports your laptop, but you can check this in the Device Manager or you could install some hardware diagnostic such as Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition software.

  Then, you can view properties chipset Intel ARK on page for a list of compatible processors.

  However, Satellite Pro A10 is very old and I doubt its value to upgrade the processor because you won't see a great performance.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro series - Impossible?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro with a deleted warranty and I'm always happy with the speed of my CPU. Again a year from now I know I won't and I'm anticipating a CPU upgrade (after the upgrade of RAM and HARD drive) at this time. Some would say "sell & buy new", this approach will be more expensive because nobody wants to buy a laptop obsolete, but new compatible spare parts will become much cheaper...

  After saying that & after reading a lot of 'IMPOSSIBLE' in this forum discussion, I'm almost certain this type of upgrade because my laptop has big brothers with the CPU, I would like to upgrade. There are also many sellers of "repair" off market where I can learn exactly what to do or what not to do. I'm not inexperienced because I deal with several desktop PC repairs & etc. of mine & my friends...

  Having said all that, I wonder if it is STILL IMPOSSIBLE to upgrade a processor in my laptop? I know the risks, but I wasn't expecting that it would be a lot harder from examples of PC desktop. I don't think that incompatibility of CPU (pine, heat etc.) will be a problem since there bro as I said & I also manually checked all other requirements, such as the dissipation of heat, chipset compat. & etc...

  Yet, I read something about "microcode" and the incompatibility of the BIOS. Here's the same thing? Given the new processor in its series does not guarantee BIOS compat. ?

  That's all from me. All comments and suggestions are welcome as long as they came with an explanation. (written 'No you can't' without cause will not help at all)

  Thank you...

  > I know the risks, but I wasn't expecting that it would be a lot harder from examples of PC desktop.
  Of course, the CPU upgrade is much trickier as an upgrade of CPU on the desktop PC.

  If you want to upgrade the CPU, you should know...

  -How to disassemble the laptop and remove all the covers and parts without damaging other laptop parts
  -If the CPU is not soldered onto the motherboard and can be removed on a simple passerby
  -If the BIOS can handle the new processor and fan table that stored in the BIOS would provide consistent settings for cooling the CPU properly.
  -If the chipset is compatible and supports the new processor
  -If the firmware needs to be updated (only by an ASP) because the wrong info of the DMI will not allow UC to perform with maximum efficiency.
  -If the laptop will run stable after the CPU upgrade for the new processor is pleased to produce more heat.

  As you can see the upgrade is not easy and certainly not possible.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C650-10Z

  Hello

  I was wondering if I could upgrade the processor in the Satellite Pro C650 10Z for better performance in games. Is it possible to change the processor of this laptop?
  And if it is possible, will require computer support the AMD Phenom II X 4 840?

  [Thanks:]

  Hey Buddy,

  > I was wondering if I could upgrade the processor
  This not s official in charge, and if you do that, you lose the warranty. In your case I wouldn t this becaue she s too risky. In the worst case you damage something and then you have to buy a new laptop.

  > for better performance in games
  Game performance is mainly based on graphics card and no CPU, but updated graphics card is also not possible on laptop. On laptops there is no easy CPU or updates of graphics as on desktop computers.

  > it will support the AMD Phenom II X 4 840
  Just for your information: the Phenom II X 4 840 is a desktop processor and not for laptops. ;)

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro P300-1EX

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade my Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 2 GHz. (to 667 Mhz front side Bus)
  I have some difficulty to find CPU can be installed safely.

  Can someone direct me to some that can be installed and give a performance increase?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  You need to know a few facts about upgrading the CPU.
  First of all computer laptop manufacturers don t support these updates and that means gift of manufacturers of portable t provided no details on processors taken in charge.

  But in most cases a CPU upgrade depends on the BIOS and chipsets support.
  In your case, it is essential to know which chipset was built in Notepad.
  Knowing this, you can use the Intel ARK page to get information on chipsets and processors supported.

  But even if the chipset would support the new processor, it is still pending regarding BIOS support.
  In the worst cases, the BIOS won't be compatible with the new processor and finally, it would mean that the phone would not work properly.

  I mean from my point of view a CPU upgrade does not provide a significant performance gain. There will be a small increase of performance, but in my opinion upgrade anther as a switch of the SSD HARD drive would be much better.
  I did these updates in the past and I was quite satisfied.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro S300-121

  Is it possible to upgrade the CPU in my laptop? If so what can we use to better speed?

• A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hey,.

  I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

  I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

  Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

  (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

  Or

  (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

  I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

  But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

  So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

  It's my laptop;
  [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

  This laptop will do the job don't you think?
  Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

  I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
  It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

  What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
  I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

  So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

  I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

• Satellite Pro 2100 - upgrade - upgrade memory RAM

  Hello together!

  For your information:

  Upgrade memory today to 2 Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH, 256 MB DDR - RAM initially), both up to 1 GB, all fine and no problems.

  Wanted to just end rumors "only 512 MB all together" or even less.

  If you are looking for, don't forget to think of the specifications:

  DDR-266 (PC2100)
  DDR-SDRAM, SO-DIMM
  200 PINS
  2.5 CL

  concerning the frequency of the RAM, building shape etc.

  Greetings

  L0nestar

  P.S.: Don't think that a debate is necessary, thread could be closed...

  According to the specifications of the computer laptop Satellite Pro has two memory slots and can be upgraded up to 1 GB. It is very useful to have confirmation on the RAM upgrade for this model of laptop old but still good.

  Good day.

• Satellite Pro 2100: is it possible to upgrade memory 1 GB?

  Hi sat 2100 and looking at 1 GB but laptop reconises only 512 meg and wont work at all with 2 x 512.
  Would be a bios update help?

  Thank you
  Steve

  Hello

  According to this site about Satellite Pro 2100 memory, the laptop supports 512 MB max.
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7444&ft=m&St=3

  It is the maximum value that can be used in the notebook.
  The BIOS will not help because it is a hardware limitation of motherboard!

• Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

  Hello
  ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

  prior to thank you for your support

  Hello

  It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
  I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
  I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

• Satellite Pro 2100 memory upgrade

  I want to update my sp2100 with additional 512 MB RAM, but the online manual and online technical specifications contradict each other.

  The online manual says (on page 1-3) for the celeron
  memory models max is 1 GB (CSD) and for the P4 512 MB (DDR) models
  Online status product specifications up to 1 GB (DDR)
  When I take a glance on the extensions page 'by 'model' on the site of toshiba 512 MB modules are available for my laptop.

  My laptop: SP2100 P4-1700/256 / 30 G, 15XT, CDW, LM
  I guess it's the same as 'Satellite Pro 2100 P4 - M 1.7GHz/256MB/30GB/15"/DVD_CDRW/L/XPP sort' since that looks like mine more

  Maybe 2 same-capacity modules need to be installed?

  THX in advance

  Same user as KinGcoBRA.
  @the mods here: Sorry, I had not noticed that I registered here. now, I have therefore no more double accounts. KinGcoBRA can therefore be deleted.

  The FAQ just taught me that 1 GB is the maximum, but still there is the contradiction the manual online...

• Satellite Pro 2100: card network wireless not recognized after upgrade

  I have a Satellite Pro 2100 ad I used successfully a PCIMCIA 802. 11b card wifi for two years.

  Studying the manual, I discovered that the notebook is "wifi ready" (it has a wifi switch, a switch wifi of Alt - F8, and a section of the manual).

  I opened a Bay and found out a mini-pci slot. That's why I bought an Intel 2200 BG wireless adapter and I put it inside, which connects the sons of two antennas, located in the Bay. Finally, I was ready to son mask 11 and 13, as suggested in many forums. But when I put the card inside, unknown electrically. It seems that the mini-pci slot must be Electric.toutes impossible. My Bios is not impossible, but it.

  In another Bay close to the mini-pci card, I discovered an empty shell for a chip. Is this an impossible chip?

  Hello

  As far as I know that this unit is about 4 years old and at that time the unit is tested with the wireless network card with the PA3212U-1MPC part number. This map has been tested, is also compatible and can be used.

  I put t know what is going on exactly in your case, but new material should be recognized and the driver must be installed. I put t know what you mean exactly, but can you please explain exactly the situation?

  The card is correctly recognized and installed in the Device Manager?
  You can use FN + F8 key combination to activate the wireless card?

• Satellite Pro 2100 is really really slow running

  I have a satellite pro 2100 I killed a friend.
  He said his brother gave him and that he had no idea what was wrong because he didn't have a chance to watch it.

  I put windows xp pro top and used the bottom of the laptop pro license key.

  but the laptop is really really slow.
  It may take up to 5 minutes for nothing I click to open up.

  the strange thing is the laptop works fine in safe mode, can open things like I should.

  but in normal windows mode, it slows down to a crawl and even crashes.

  I have trie all to my knowledge.
  I even uninstalled and turn off the graphics drive that I thought that he maybe, but he always does.

  I tried multiple copies different from xp pro and even tried a copy of vista, but still the same.

  He had 2 different lots of tried in ram, 2 sticks was new aswel. I tried 3 different hard drives and still the same.

  My thoughts are that the integrated graphics card is exhausted.

  can anyone else confirm this? Certainly this isn't a software issue because I tried a few different copies of xp and vista. IM about to bin it now.

  > anyone can confirm this?
  Don t think someone could confirm everything that is related to a malfunction of the equipment.
  Here in the forum, we can talk about problems and makers of disorders, but no one will be able to say with certainty what's going wrong here.

  First laptop computer is an oldie.
  The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 CPU, isn t a up to date CPU and in my opinion, that don't expect too much performance.

  I put t know how this camera supports memory but everything below 1 GB of Ram would be good enough to the smooth running of the laptop.

  However, given that the unit works much faster saving mode, I guess there must be a hardware related problem.
