• Upgrade CPU on Tecra R10

  I wonder if someone might be able to answer a question for me.

  I have a beautiful Tecra R10-11 b and he's been very good for quite a few years. It works under Win XP and did everything he asked without problem.

  I want to know, however, is if it is possible to mount a faster processor. I have a suspicion that the installed processor can be fixed permanently and is not replaceable, but I'd like to know.

  I had played with the idea of replacing the P9400 Intel Core Duo with something a bit new, so maybe install Win 7 and more memory. There are 3 GB of ram installed.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  The CPU is bad, which means that the processor is removable.
  But important fact is that the manufacturers of portable don t CPU upgrade support.
  One of the main reasons is the BIOS which is especially modified by the manufacturers of cell phones.

  But let's start with a few basics:
  The CPU must be supported by the BIOS and chipset.

  So let's ' s check what CPU would be taken in charge by Mobile Intel GS45 Express Chipset, which is part of the Tecra R10 - 11 b
  Here on this page of the Ark from Intel, you can find compatible processors
  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/35505/Intel-82GS45-graphics-and-memory-controller-hub#@compatibility

  But even if the chipset would support new CPUS, some compatibility issues may appear because of the BIOS.
  However, the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (Penryn Montevina) processor have been equipped in different models of R10, so probably other Intel Core 2 Duo processors are supported.

  By the way: the RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM

• Re: Upgrade CPU on Tecra M5-127 with 1.66 CPU

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M5-127 with a 1.66 CPU. I asked the telephone support line Toshiba regarding the upgrade of the processor.
  They told me that the CPU is integrated to the motherboard! Is this correct?
  If not, no one knows until the CPU can spend? If you don't know do you know where I can find the motherboard specifications?

  Thank you very much

  Unfortunately, CPU cannot be upgraded. Check it please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  What you can do is to RAM and disk HARD upgrade. Check the specs of the laptop and increase the RAM up to the maximum limit.

• Strange question after upgrading RAM on Tecra M10

  Greetings gurus,

  Pleeeaase help...

  I recently upgraded my M10-PTMB1E to 8 GB of RAM of 2 GB.

  My bios sees 8GB, Windows tells me I have 8 GB installed but 3.8 GB usable, it checked with a boot CD. Then, I pulled one of the external 4 GB chips and replace the 2 GB in. Windows detects the 6 GB.

  I tested the RAM with memtest and these two circuits passed (although memtest is only 4 GB)

  I thought it would be a case of updating the BIOS, but if I run the .exe files in 20091103164158-bios, bios-20091104152403 or the bios-20091104172541, I get an error saying "this computer is is not supported.

  Could someone please tell me: -.
  (1) this machine does really take 8 GB
  (2) if so, what changes should I do so that he can use all the 8 GB (unless of course the VGA)
  (3) what the BIOS update do I need

  Thank you for your help

  Hello

  I n t have this model of laptop, but I'll try to help.

  # Yes, this laptop model supports up to 8 GB of RAM
  # Perhaps this document will help you http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm
  # In general you don't need to be. Just if you want to you can update the BIOS, but the old one should be OK. Just make sure that you are using compatible RAM modules.

• Upgrading the BIOS on a Tecra M10 but without MS Windows

  Hello!

  My Tecra M10 runs OpenSolaris. No windows on this machine. Question is how upgraded the BIOS on this subject? The only file that I found to download is a Windows executable file...
  Another way? Such as the creation of a CD or a USB drive?

  Thanks in advance,
  Gilles gravel

  And what files you want to save on a CD or USB stick?
  Long since Toshiba doesn't offer traditional BIOS update but only the Win version.
  What you can try is to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

  They have access to the database of Toshiba and I imagine that they can help you with the update of the BIOS.
  You can also exchange of HDD, recovery of installation image, make sure BIOS update and put old HDD with solaris back. Maybe some friend of you HARD drive and you can borrow for this purpose.

• TECRA M10 (models PTM40E/PTM42E) for Windows 7 upgrade

  Hello
  We have two former TECRA M10 (models PTM40E and PTM42E) and you want to update the PC now for Windows7. After the installation of a new (larger) HARD drive, we ran the recovery DVDs. After that recovery completed successfully, we have installed a version of Windows 7 Professional (replacing the recovered Win - XP) and let Windows Update all the drivers on the Internet. After installation is complete, the majority of work and PC applications of material (e.g. display drivers where found and installed, stylus for touch screen works). But touch rotation does not work, the touchpad has also no scroll function).

  We found 47 drivers Toshiba basic support, but not of documentation on how to use them.

  Can we using this forum?

  Thanks in advance...

  Peter

  Are you sure you have Tecra M10? M4 maybe?

  On the Toshiba download page, I found only Tecra M4 with model number PTM40E and PTM42E.

• Tecra M10 does support VT?

  Hi all

  I have a Tecra M10 - 13 K 8 GB RAM (PTMB0E-01600LGR) BIOS V2.10 with Intel T5870 CPU (which is not taken in charge VT). My Chipset is Intel GM45 Express.
  I want to install Ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) with VMWare Server 2.0.x and create Virtual Machines with Windows 7 (64-bit) and Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bit).

  But my CPU does not support the VT!

  Now, I want to buy Intel CPU T7250 and replace my old CPU. Would this work? The BIOS must support the? Do I need a new Version of BIOS?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Hello

  First of all you cannot use virtual technology if the processor does not support this feature.
  Second, the replacement of the CPU is not desirable and often delicate!
  The BIOS has not been tested with a different CPU, and no one can tell if the laptop would be stable after an upgrade of the CPU.

  Take a look at this Toshiba doc:

• Tecra M10 - stuck - CTRL key question may be to do with the BIOS?

  Hello and thanks for reading.

  I recently changed my Tecra M10 to Windows 7 (from XP), and it quickly developed the dreaded question-button stuck CTRL This causes the keyboard behaves as if the CTRL key is pressed continuously. Sometimes reaching a key combination, or bring up the on-screen keyboard, temporarily solves the problem, but he returned.

  It seems to be a problem that many people have no simple solution. I watched each thread that I find and tried a lot of things to do with drivers etc without success.

  So first of all, if anyone knows a remedy that works for this particular machine, I would be very grateful to hear!

  Then, there are two things that I did not yet: updating the BIOS and turn off pinch zoom.

  I was watching the following BIOS update:

  http://www.Toshiba-Asia.com/SG/support/drivers/details/25244

  ... which is the version 3.00 and seem to be more recent. My version is 1.90.

  However, version 3.00 is labeled "for PTMB0 * ONLY. I don't know what that means or if it applies to me. Can anyone help? Should I install this BIOS?

  For the pinch zoom, I was informed that disable sometimes cures the problem CTRL - but I can't find any installation zoom pinch on the M10. I think he doesn't have any one. Is this fair?

  Thanks much for any help you can give.

  Hello

  > I was watching the next BIOS update. is the version 3.00, which seems to be most recent. My version is 1.90.

  There are different Tecra M10 models on the market.
  Check the labels at the bottom of the unit. There you should find numbers like for example PTMB0E-01K00LGR

  The first 6 characters are important: for example PTMB0E

  I guess that your laptop belongs to the series of Europeans.
  In this case, you should check the page of the Toshiba UE driver for a possible update of the BIOS.
  http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  However, on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you will also find the BIOS for all European units Tecra M10 v3.0.

  Anyway, back to Ctrl + button question: guess what, you need to connect an external USB keyboard and must check how is the CTRL key.
  In case the USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard CTRL key is assigned and you will need to replace the internal keyboard.

  PS: it would be possible that the "sticky keys" option has been activated. To disable this feature, you must press SHIFT 5 times in the line.

• Tecra M10 of the fan is always on

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Tecra M10 for a few days now, and compared to my previous laptop, I notice a very different behavior of the fan. The fan of my old Pro L10 of Satellite used to turn off unless the system is really hot. It is around 55 to 60 ° C. But now, with my Tecra, the fan starts as soon as the system starts up and never stops. This happens even on a cold start. It seems that the BIOS triggers the fan, as it happened also during the installation of Windows Vista and Windows XP. Certainly, it is not focused on the OS. Even when I have the CPU clock to 798 MHz and set the cooling method to maximize the life of the battery, the fan is running and.

  After watching the temperatures, it turned out that my CPU(-cores) worked at 30 ° C, and my hard drive was running at 35 ° C. The hottest thing was the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 150 M, at 40 ° C. So you mean that the fan is working to cool the GPU. However, as I wrote above, fans don't always run, even if all of the computer is under 20 ° C.
  So I have two questions, and I hope that everyone can answer that for me.
  First of all I would like to know if there are other users of the Tecra A10/M10 who experience the same "problem" as I do. Can he be considered a defect, or is - this normal?

  And second, if it's quite normal, is there a way to turn the fan "always you"-thing off in the BIOS? As I am blind I can't verify this for me, so I would like to know if this is possible, before asking a friend or compared to help me.
  I ask all this because the noise of the fan that bothers me, but simply because I want the best squeesh out of my battery.

  Thanks in advance!

  The fan changes speed? Or it's a constant speed of 100% of the time?

  Try to update the BIOS first. You can download the latest version of the BIOS on Toshiba website in the support/downloads section.

  I don't think there is a setting "always on" in the BIOS.

  If a BIOS update does not help, you must send it to a Service Center authorized to check the functionality of the fan.

• Tecra M10 cannot install OS using disc SSD Kingston

  Hi all.

  I am a computer tech and can usually find a way to fix something myself, (rock Google!).

  But recently I had a Kingston SSDNOW 64 GB drive and decided to install in my Tecra M10 age of 12 months. 4 weeks ago I had a full head of hair, now I am completely bald.

  The drive is recognized in the BIOS, but whenever I try to install Windows on it, I get nothing. I tried the recovery DVDs XP, recovery DVDs Vista The, the "free" upgrade Windows 7 recovery DVD, and a DVD Vista & Windows 7 retail. I can't drive to be recognized to install Windows.

  I can copy the existing disk image, but it starts the splash screens and blue. Normally I think that driver RAID or hard disk controller, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require a, I tried).

  I checked and installed the latest version of the BIOS for laptop. There is no update available for the SSD firmware. So I find myself with a laptop that always uses a slow, (relatively) hard drive and a very pretty silver rectangular Clipboard.

  Can anyone think of anything whatsoever that I missed. Anyone working for Toshiba can tell me if there is a BIOS update for this problem (I search the forum and found many people who are struggling for SSDS working in Toshiba laptops)?

  The sad thing is that the former other laptop I got for my son accepts the player and works fine!
  I had many prefer to buy Toshiba, but I want SSD technology rather sooner than later, and if Toshiba does not go to support, I might have to change of Lenovo or Acer.

  Rob.

  > Normally I would RAID driver or controller hard drive, but Kingston assures me that there is no requirement on the one hand, (and a standard SATA drive does not require one, I tried).

  I think you have misunderstood something the SSD drive does not need SATA drivers BUT the fact the OS (Win XP, Vista or Win 7)!

  The SATA drivers are needed to recognize the HDD/SSD under Windows OS.
  New generation of portable supports the new SATA controllers that require SATA drivers.

  You will find on the European driver Toshiba Intel Storage Manager page

  Intel Storage Manager contains the SATA drivers that are required to install the OS.

• Tecra M10 - CMOS battery is low and powers down and upwards automatically

  Toshiba TECRA M10 - 10W
  Model no PTMB1E-00P003EN

  This laptop was working fine last week and is only about 1 year.

  Now to the power he reports the CMOS battery is weak and penetrates into the configuration screen to set the date and time.

  Once this is done, it shuts down and no more automatically, but everything works the CPU fan to high speed, no attempt to start etc.

  If you press the power button with the fan running, it will be power downwards and upwards (while it is still connected to the power grid) and again to report a problem with the CMOS battery.

  Any ideas on what is wrong and what can be done to fix this?

  Hello

  First the CMOS battery can be charged while you let the connected AC/DC adapter, for example 24 hours a day. After that, the message CMOS battery shouldn't t appears more.
  Check this box!

  The power automatically power cycle on and off can represent a danger due to a hardware malfunction can you start in Windows or in fact that happen before?
  Maybe it s overheating and you need to clean the laptop using a jet of compressed air.

• Recovery media for Tecra M10 - 10I required

  Hi all

  Sorry to post this here, but I hope someone can help me out here because unfortunately, after talking to a member of staff at Toshiba UK, the support I need, they can provide.

  I am a totally blind systems engineer and entrepreneur specialized in the legends of emergency to companies and specialist requirements, as well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning requirements, etc.. Recently, I lost my laptop main, unfortunately, he died because of overheating due to his age, a professional platform adapted to my needs to run the tools of my trade. the jury, burned into the RAM and HARD drive with her, it means I'm out of action,

  However, a friendly contact of my friends helped me with gift of a system of Tecra M10 - 10i who arrived this morning, to be configured, etc.. However, the internal HARD disk was photographed with a default image of their company and not the official recovery / installation OEM. The disk HARD deleted anyway and RAM upgraded to 8 GB to become my replacement. Right now I am borrowing a member of the family system and running an edition of reader pen of my screen reader configuration. so access to emails, notes, etc. only.

  My setup is based on different hardware and software components including chassis magma with PCIE cards, for data and the access control etc.

  What I would do, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells isn't easy to blind, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem. Toshiba tell me that they can not provide recovery media and I have to go to a provider they use on the web and order records, etc.

  This may be against policy here, so I apologize if this is the case, however, anyone here happen to have the recovery media for a system Tecra M10 - 10i, so Windows Vista Enterprise or Windows 7 Pro or similar that can update the system? The reason I ask because it is, it is easier for me to use a recovery image based or automated Ghost for this so I can install my screen, braille display driver reader interface, etc. and be running, rather than panic during the configuration of the audio without braille drivers / audio feedback.

  If you can help, please e-mail me at [email protected]

  Cheers.

  Ed

  > What I would like to make, it is the Image of the system using Toshiba recovery disks, however, I can't get hold of them through toshiba site and the site that sells is not blind to the environment, or use credit cards, etc., so here's the problem.

  Dear Ed, I'm sorry to hear that it of difficult and impossible for you to order the Toshiba recovery from the Arvato page disk. Unfortunately, I m not Tecra M10 owner and don t have recovery for this unit disc.
  But maybe you could ask a family member or a friend for assistance.

  It (a credit card owner) could place an order for recovery on page Arvato disk and could order the media for you.

• Tecra M10 - 1 H 4 - change shared video RAM worth?

  Hello

  I have a Tecra M10, with the standard 2 GB of RAM, I also added an extra 256 MB of available RAM slot. Can I change the value of RAM shared graphic? In the properties of XP Pro, I can see that it is fixed at 1024MB which is stupid because I only 2.25 GB in the machine.

  I can't locate any settings even in the BIOS, where I thought I could change it. It's a mobile graphics chip Intel GMA 4500MHD. Any help is appreciated...

  I also seem to get some horrible slow down on the laptop too, when I have about 10 different windows open, (be it the same application or different) when I switch to another window/application from time to time I have to wait for the laptop to redraw the new window very slowly?

  I updated the driver too - claims I'm on: 6.14.10.4953

  See you soon

  TC

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you can change the video memory value of t. Everything will be controlled automatically and there is no value in the BIOS or the display driver where you can change it.

  Video RAM depends on the RAM you are using on your laptop. Increase system memory values for the available total graphics memory, decided video memory and shared system memory will be higher.

  So, to get more video RAM upgrade your laptop with more system RAM.
