Upgrade SSD on Satellite Pro U200

Hello!

I have a laptop (Satellite Pro U200-PLUA1E-00X007HU of the v3.70 win7 32-bit bios), I want to upgrade with a series of Samsung 830 64 GB SSD. I read that the SSD need AHCI mode. My laptop supports AHCI mode? What can I change in the bios before installing the new storage?

Thanks for the help!

Robert

Hello

I see you're confused
First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

However, to SSD drive question:
I put t really no problem using an SSD.
It must function as the SATA controller support

  • Upgrade SSD for Satellite Pro A120

    Hello
    I have a satellite pro A120, which feels a little tired. I did research SSD upgrades to replace the HARD drive, but I don't know if I can update or not. I would really appreciate any advice or information you can give me.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade the laptop with an SSD. You need a disc SSD SATA 2.5 as the A120 supports the SATA controller.
    Not quite sure about the SSD size but I guess a 250 GB should be recognized correctly.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - hard drive upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro U200-128 and you want to upgrade the hard drive. I can't find detailed specifications to show me the compatibility, drive type and therefore the size of a disc that I can buy.
    I think that its SATA, but there is a lot of info on SATAII, not sure if it will work in my model?

    Any help appreciated

    Hi ollieg72,

    You re right. Satellite Pro U200 already uses the HARD drive with SATA interface if you need a HARD SATA 2.5. In addition, it should be possible to use every ability because on SATA interface, there is no capacity limit.

    Anyway, SATAII HDD is also working because they are compatible to the old interface of SATA1 downgrade. So it makes no difference if the HDD is SATAII interface or not. ;)

  • Upgrade can not display drivers - Satellite Pro U200-10J

    Hi all

    I recently received a Satellite Pro U200, which I am very satisfied so far.

    My current display drivers are the 7.14.10.1147 of the 945GM Express chipset Intel. The new drivers that have been added to the drivers on the Toshiba site list 17 and are the 7.14.10.1227. Unfortunately, they install! I get a message just after the initialization of configuration that these drivers are not the most appropriate for this laptop and it closed facility. When I try to update the Device Manager, it simply tells me that I already have the latest drivers for my machine.

    Please notify; p

    Hello

    Before you start installing the new driver remove the old. You can do this in the properties of the device in Device Manager.

    I did it with my Vista preinstalled Satellite A200 (also with the Intel graphics card).

  • Satellite Pro U200: unable to update BIOS to v.3.70 - WIN

    Model No.: Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E
    OS: Vista Business SP2
    Current BIOS: v. 3.50

    Try to update the BIOS to v3.70

    When I run P0044v370, I get a Windows Script Host message:

    "Script:
    C:\ProgramData\Toshiba\Common\_cabBDF1.tmp\autoExe c.vbe
    Line: 2
    Char: 1
    Error: Failed to create object named 'WScript.Shell '.
    Code: 8007007E
    "Source: WScript.CreateObject".

    I want to update the BIOS before the upgrade from 1 GB to 4 GB of memory. Also my U200 Pro keeps crashing and whenever before it restarts, I get a message saying something like "try to install the latest version of the BIOS" (it is not on the screen very long sorry can't be more accurate).

    I don't have have the recovery CD, I'm trying to boost performance because it runs very slowly.

    Everything is - I am in your forum people good hands! Thanks in advance.

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Updated BIOS for Satellite Pro U200?

    Hello

    does anyone have any experience with BIOS version 1.3 for Satellite Pro U200? I've upgraded to this version of the BIOS and have had several problems since then - shortened wireless keyboard does not and display the overflowing of installation brightness to name two.

    In addition, as I noticed last week, upgrading the BIOS can not be downloaded more and there is no alternative - just says download page don't: "no BIOS upgrade for this product! Is there anyone that has 1.2 BIOS so that I can try to downgrade to this version?

    What is your experience with BIOS 1.3?

    Hello

    It s really strange?  :|
    I checked the BIOS for Satellite U200 and Satellite Pro U200 download section, but I put t found any BIOS download at this time.

    A few years ago the authorized service provider has installed an older version of the BIOS on my Tecra friends unit.
    I guess that he should be able to do it on your Satellite Pro U200.
    The other possibility is to wait for a newer version of the BIOS.

  • No sound after installing Windows 7 on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional on my Satellite Pro U200 10 p.

    Available for XP Pro.

    Sound has stopped working since the new facility (which fromatting the drive - no partition) and can not find a solution. The v6.10.1.6000 of SoundMAX Integrated Digittal HD Audio Driver is installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but this doesn't seem to be the right driver. I can't find info to tell me what the correct driver can be either. The Toshiba site is a little sparse on Windows 7 drivers for this model and gives no indication that the driver may be is.

    Windows 7 does not think that there is a problem and some reports that "this device works properly." in speaker properties > Configuration information dialog box. However not coming out, the speakers or the 3.5 mm jack

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Go to Device Manager and check what sound chip you have exactly:

    Use this statement:
    [How to identify an unknown device? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]

    Then you should be able to find a good pilot.
    I also recommend remove/delete the sound card in Device Manager.
    Just select the audio remove card and press on, and then restart the laptop

    PS: Are you sure that the sound is not muted? Please check this too!

  • Satellite Pro U200 - projector as external monitor

    I try to connect a projector as external monitor. I use a HDMI adapter, VGA, because the entry in the projector.

    If I use my Satellite Pro U200, Modelo PLUA1E-02301RSP, the display shows only the initial screen,

    I mean the landscape with the TOSHIBA logo, but it doesn't change.
    If, for example, I look at some photos as I have both monitors running, the portable computer I see the photo, but the projector doesn't change, it shows only the landscape and logo.

    What can I do?

    Thank you and best regards,

    Can move you the open Office Windows laptops to the pic you is on the projector?

  • Satellite Pro U200 - DC jack is broken

    I was wondering if you guys can help me because I broke the dc jack on my laptop, its load only when the pin of the charger is in it at a certain angle and I can actually feel the plug into my laptop so moving is not the charger. I tried searching on the internet but without success because I don't know the part number, and even if I put the serial number on the website of his not really give me the part number and may cause toshiba do more :(
    Now I'm looking for power supply for Satellite Pro U200-199

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. only thing, I had an experience at the hardware level, but not very good with soldering, should weld or not it comes with the wire that can be clicked into place.

    Thank you

    In the past, I found several threads where people have reported the same issue but on the different model of laptop. Obviously some of them have done a good job and repaired only.
    To find the DC jack is not a problem.

    You can find it on eBay and it is cheap. Put in google DC jack U200 and you will find it.

    Problem is that any computer laptop must be disassembled and new connector soldered to the right place.
    Can you do this?
    I want to say if you n t have experience with this stuff don t touch anything and ask for professional help.

  • Need new battery for Satellite Pro U200-182

    Hello

    I m needing help on the purchase of new battery for Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 - 182
    No model origin. what I found on old battrey is PA3356U - 3BRS with parameters: DC10.8V - 4700mAh

    When I tried searching on the web I found that this trick
    http://smart-parts.NET/bsearch.php?brand=Toshiba&name=satellite%20PRO&SER ie = U200% 20Black & model = U200-182

    I would like to ask if I can buy it (if this battery will be compatible) and also if its possible to buy the battery longer "life."

    Thank you for the help

    I found the info that for your laptop model there are two types of battery only:
    PA3356U-3BAS
    PA3356U-3BRS

    So if you use Google and put these numbers, you should be able to find an online store where you can buy these compatible batteries.
    By the way: link you posted is OK and I don't see the reason why you shouldn't order of it. It is listed as compatible.

    To extend the life, you need battery with more cells and ability, but it is unfortunately not available for your laptop model.
