• Satellite Pro S300-121: Installation of Win 7 64-bit: Yes or no

  I have win7 32 bit on my Satellite Pro S300-121.
  I have 4 GB of ram installed.
  Should I install the 64 bit version, or I will not see any difference in speed?

  I know I have to do a clean install, but is it useful for S300-121 all pros and cons anyway, your thoughts

  Hello
  Your laptop has been equipped with 4 GB of RAM.
  But Win 32 bit can handle only 3.2 GB. So this could be a key reason to switch to Win 7 64 bit OS because the 64-bit would recognize the full 4 GB of RAM.
  But if you use programs and the software that is compatible only with the 32-bit system, then I would recommend staying with Win 7 32 bit OS.
  But new software can be installed on 32-bit and 64-bit systems

• 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 2100

  Hello world!

  This time my question belongs to the CPU in my Satellite Pro 2100. Currently under construction in an Intel Pentium 4-M GH 1.9, my question is, wether I could built in a processor (more powerful sense) "superior". Have seen CPU type Intel Pentium 4 M up to above 3.0 GH. Of course, this is related to the FSB, and due to the fact that I don't know what kind of motherboard I have, I just want to know if anyone here knows the maximum.

  I know there is Toshiba Satellite Pro Notebooks with 2.2 GH Intel Pentium 4 M processors inside.

  happy to all boards

  L0nestar

  I remember well the Satellite Pro 2100 was equipped with 5 different Intel Pentium 4 - M s CPU
  1.7 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz

  So, theoretically, you can insert a 2.2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 - M CPU.

  But please don't ask me if it is really possible because the CPU upgrade on laptops is different as an update on the desktop.
  On some older portable computers, the CPU has been fixed for the mobo and it was not easy to remove it.

  That's all I can say about this case.

  Good bye

• 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.

• A few questions on Satellite Pro S300-121

  Hello

  We bought 12 of these laptops last July, I installed Windows XP Pro but have had problems with about 5 of them on and outside since then. The main problem is no output to the screen, power light turns on but no screen output, only medium difficulty is to press and hold the power button, close and turn on and maybe 2nd or third time it works. I have check the VGA settings in the BIOS and it is defined both as when I put it on auto it was even more of an issue.

  I note also with these portable 5 BIOS pose as I set the SATA mode to IDE when installed XP but from time to time, just the BIOS that resets and passes it to AHCI this cause the laptop to blue screen, it is easily fixed, but I wouldn't keep doing this!

  The last time that that's happened, this morning the BIOS clock has been fixed at a date in 2008, I know this indicates a dead battery but I have the same questions about 5 of these laptops possibly a bad batch of batteries of BIOS (I understand these things happen).
  If anyone else has had similar problems with this model and if so could you let me know please.

  Andy

  Are these laptops left alone for a long time? Maybe the CMOS battery is empty, what can happen faster if you leave the laptop into sleep/Hibernation Mode and the main battery is flat.

• No Satellite Pro S300-121 no webcam

  I did a clean install of win7 ultimate 32 bit, when I had xp on the left side of the screen id get a webpanel open now I get nothing while in features, it shows chicony usb

  Hi fender62,.

  It seems that you have not installed the software of the webcam. The Panel of webcam on the left side that you mean is no functionality of Windows if you need to install the driver for the webcam.

  You can download the driver from Toshiba's official website.

• Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H - upgrade to Windows 7 is not

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H running Vista Business.
  I registered for the Toshiba Windows 7 Upgrade and received 2 DVDs and minimalist upgrade instructions.

  Following the instructions:
  Part 1: Toshiba Upgrade DVD - all the success, after recording all the fingerprints of TrueSuite Access Manager.

  Part 2: upgrade to MS Windows 7 DVD - I uninstalled iTunes as it recommended. It then crosses the first steps OK, but on the last step of the installation, it gives the blue screen of death. PC restarts and Vista is restored.

  Part 3: Not running

  I wasn't looking over time so don't see does not error messages. Is there a log file of the installation failure Windows 7 that I could check to try to find out why the upgrade failed? Tips and tricks

  You can live without TEMPRO. Believe me that. Beast of sounds now but maybe the tool delete as first step I made on my new laptop Satellite.
  In any case, if you want to have it just download the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

• Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

  I replaced the original HARD drive and installed a new SSD that works very well.
  Installed the W7Pro and all updates.

  I do not use my burner so I replaced the CD drive and installed a shopping cart with my old HDD to have more disk space.

  When I start my laptop, I see a message of ERROR of CD-ROM.
  In Device Manager the caddy and or the HARD drive is not displayed.

  I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according to Toshiba utility the latest version), but even in the Bios is no information about this SSD or HARD drive installed. (or the CD player when I re - install this drive again)

  What's not here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
  Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

  NB in the BIOS HARD drive drive settingis according to ACPI, the list below it is referred to as IDE device.
  When I enter the BIOS IDE instead of ACPI, I still see the CD-ROM ERROR when starting and after this message, the screen is blue and no other activity.

  Relevant information from PC:

  > What is the problem here? Do I need a BIOS updated allowing the 2nd HARD drive?
  > Or if I forget a setting somewhere?

  To my knowledge, not all laptops support a 2nd HDD rather than the ODD (optical disc)

  Also, not all CD/DVD drives are compatible and could be used for all laptops.

  So agree with the user above and I think it's the problem of compatibility also.

• Satellite Pro S300 - 11 H: charging not not after re-installation of software

  My laptop has been "reset" by a Virus called AdwCleaner last week removal tool (CAUTION - do NOT run it on your laptop - if could ruin your life!)  :(

  In any case, the result of it was that I had to take it to a repair shop where they were unable to restore Windows XP I had used since I got the machine, and so they have had to re - install the original Windows Vista which was the OS when I bought it. (I bought a "downgrade" to XP disc with the laptop)

  Until that happened, the charging of the battery and everything worked well, but since I'll be back my laptop from the store, battery does not charge.

  When I hover over the right low battery icon, it says "3% available, battery not charging".
  The battery is OK, because if I unplug the power cable, the laptop stays on.

  Is there some setting somewhere that is revealing the machine do not recharge the battery?
  How can I get it back to normal?

  See you soon,.
  Select this option.

  Post edited by: KasinoKing - typo in the title!

  Guess what?
  I m wondering if the guy installed all the drivers of Toshiba Vista that are released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?

  I m thinking in particular software and tools such as value added package

  I also recommend you to check the Device Manager.
  In Device Manager, expand battery area.
  Here, you must first uninstall the
  -Battery method to check compatible ACPI Microsoft
  -Microsoft AC adapter
  -Battery composite Microsoft

  Reboot the laptop.
  Check how to work the battery charging process
  In the case where they would find the new hardware (these would be three uninstalled devices from Device Manager) wait until the system has installed the driver, reboot once again and check the load

• Satellite Pro S300 - how do I uninstall TrueSuite to install Win 7 Win 8

  I put my Toshiba Satellite Pro S300 from Windows 7 to Windows 8 at level and I am stuck at the point where I need to uninstall first TrueSuite Access Manager.

  It is not listed under programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

  I downloaded util_tam_uninstall_TC00240000B.exe and run it without success.

  Any suggestions?

  > It does not appear in programs and features, so I can't uninstall it from there.

  I can't believe that if the utility is installed, it should appear in the box programs and features.
  On the other hand also the fingerprint driver is installed
  So, you can check if you need to uninstall the driver of the fingerprint of the Device Manager.
