• Upgrading processor on Satellite L30

  Can I replace my Intel celeron with a complete Intel pentium processor for my laptop Satellite L30-105? As it is so slow I got it since February 2007, more than half of my HDD disappeared too?

  You can use CPU Pentium M, the difference between Celeron M and Pentium M is the size of the cache and Celeron M uses SpeedStep technology, but the FSB and the socket are the same.

  Nice anyone got advice or tips, thanks

  It's very strange

  The error message says something about RAID but the L30 does not support the RAID and also the RAID drivers are not necessary.

  I m a bit confused and I think there could be something wrong with the HARD drive.
  Have you tried to reinstall the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows?

  Try this format the disk using this CD, and then try again to reinstall the operating system.

  If this does not work then a HARD disk problem is possible

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - new HARD disc but startup fails

  Laptop Satellite L30-psL33E... .total HARD drive failed

  Installed the new HARD drive, hitachi hts541616j9sa00.

  I restart and on screen, it is said wait while windows is loading for the first time.
  It becomes in what concerns the illuminated display and the scroll circle, then stops and the laptop just hangs there.

  Don t think that this problem could be related to the HARD drive, but who knows that everything is possible, but I think that it s incredibly.

  Have you checked the memory modules?
  These strange behaviors for laptop may be related to a dysfunction of the memory of my knowledge too.

  But as I have already said, we can always provides suggestions and be 100% sure what part is affected a notebook check would be needed!

  Excuse me for my English, but I never learn this language :) sorry ;)

  Hello

  Solution is simply ;) you must first install the Microsoft patches (patches) KB888111 and KB835221.

  These two hotfixes must be installed before you try to install the audio driver!

  Here's my advice;
  First, install * KB888111, KB835221 * and then restart the device and after this short intervention, install sound driver that was downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page.

  I hope this helps you.

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - sometimes freezes

  Hello

  I'm in big trouble with Windows XP pro SP3 & my Satellite l30 (psl33e).

  I removed vista to install Windows XP with an original CD of XP SP3. So I formatted hard drive and begin the typical installation. Problems start when installing: the computer crashes sometimes, something like 10-20 min. Finally install completes, but computer is still really slow.

  I have installed all the drivers from the Toshiba site, restart the computer between each installation. The restart time is like 10 min and sometimes driver install hangs also. After 3 hours, I was able to connect to the internet, so I've spent on the Windows Update site; Here, I've installed all the updates, but I still had the same problem, sometimes computer freezes for 10 to 30 minutes. When the computer crashes, you will see the hard drive light.

  When I start Windows boot time is long enough for a new installation, something like 5 min. The sound icon appears 15 minutes after office expenses with the LAN & wan icons minimum 30 min after. Network works well as soon the configfree icon appear (and therefore of office). I can't run HWsetup, but PC diagnostic tools don't report made by any problem with the hardware.

  I tried to check the drivers with a pilot online checking tool (ma - config.com), they were all aware, idon't have a problem in the hardware Manager. Windows is up to date.

  I checked memory with memtest, still no problem. I have updated BIOS, no change. My hard drive has been freshly fully formatted, so I don't think that's the problem. I even tried to reinstall Windows, still the same problem during installation and after. the original CD, I used to install Windows is not clean, no scratches and works perfectly on my other computers.

  I did not have this problem with Vista, but I really do not want to use, 1 GB of memory is too low. Everything is good, drivers, Windows, programs, hardware, but computer still hangs when it wants to.

  So I absolutely do not know what to do, I'm looking on google for 2 days without response. I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.

  I would really apreciate help someone. Thanks in advance & sorry for my bad English,

  Pedro

  Hey Buddy,

  > I think it's a cause of problem of Windows questions begin during installation.
  Why do you think that? In my opinion, if this problem starts when installing has nothing to do with Windows because it s not completely installed then why Windows should ask this question?

  I think it s a bad hardware work if you already checked the memory with Memtest so I think that the RAM should be ok.

  From my own experience, I recommend to check the HARD drive for bad sectors using Drive Fitness Test or another HARD drive diagnostic tool.
  I had a similar problem a few years back that the boot system has been very slow and the reason was a bad sector. So I checked the disk with Drive Fitness Test that shows the bad sector. Now, I have replaced the HARD drive, installed Windows again and everything worked again properly! :)

• Satellite L30 PSL33E - wifi is not working after installing XP

  Satellite L30 PSL33E downgraded from Vista to XP. Everything works apart from the Wifi. Device Manager displays Atheros ar5005g card with yellow exclamation point.

  I tried the driver from this site, but windows does not load the driver as it is not signed.
  I try to reload the driver and the laptop freezes.

  I'm probably something wrong. If advice... soon

  Hello

  First you need to update the Win XP to the last State.

• Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - the LED blinks 6 times

  Hello

  My poor mother is quite upset! Its Satellite L30 PSL33E just died.

  It completely off and now won't start at all.
  Orange light flashes six times when you press the power button.
  No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.

  She tried without the battery.

  A kind of hardware failure, I guess.

  Any ideas what this blink code means?

  Thanks in advance,
  D.

  I put t know what the code means, but you can read it. short means 0 and 1 long

  In any case, the error code means that a hardware failure has been detected on the motherboard and motherboard replacement could help you?
  Why?

  because what is really hard to fix a motherboard for laptop very s.
  It especially not possible if you n t s have sufficient knowledge, experience, and special tools.

  I think that either you contact the ASP in your country and ask a difficulty or you'll have to buy a new laptop ;(

• Satellite L30 (PSL33E) - upgrade of CPU and RAM

  For all other owners L30, my L30 - 10 v has been improved by me to the following specification while I owned it:

  Intel Core Duo T2450 bus of 2 GHz 533 mhz cpu (faster processor you can use in the L30 psl33e)
  2 GB DDR2 667 mhz Ram (1 x 1 GB Kingston, 1 x 1 gb Kingmax) - with no problem and works fine at 667 mhz.

  Okay, so the laptop is now at its maximum, but will not need to upgrade to a new for a while :)

  Hello

  Very interesting, buddy! :)
  I think that it s useful for other owners L30

  With regard to upgrading the CPU. What CPU did you before and now you have overheating problems or everything is ok?

• For the Archives: The upgrade of the Satellite L30-134

  I'm one of those old cell phones off a friend who had retired as being obsolete.

  However with a little time and money, it is possible to upgrade to a very usable machine.

  Not a power by any stretch but perfectly adequate for browsing the internet and watching videos (about 720 p watchable) standard definition etc.

  So as the search of these forums for more information for this project, I found a lot of conflicting advice, and some of my questions were not answered at all. I hope by documenting my experiences here I can help someone in the same position in the future.

  * Model *.

  This machine is the Toshiba Satellite L30-134, part number: PSL33E-00E013G3. It's probably very similar, but not necessarily the same as the other models L30. No invert them.

  * Original configuration *.

  Processor - Intel Celeron m 410 (Cache of 1 MB, 1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, Socket M). It is a simple version of the Core Duo (Yonah core) processor core. It shares nothing in common and is not swapable with the previous generation Pentium M or processors Celeron Mr. He is also incompatible with the next generation of Core 2 Duo/Solo and Pentium and Celeron processors derived from these.

  Memory - A single 512MB SODIMM PC2 - 4200 (DDR2-533 MHz). This differs from the previous generation of DDR and the next generation of DDR3. The controller memory only supports single channel mode. There is no loss that the FSB of the processor is not fast enough to take advantage of the dual channel anyway.

  * BIOS *.

  My laptop came with very old version 1.3. Toshiba provides the latest version (3.10) for download. This is reported to be buggy and mess with the profiles of fan so I decided to leave it alone. I can confirm that my updates work without updating the BIOS.

  * Updates *.

  Processor - I swapped the Celeron for a Core Duo T2350 (1.87 GHz). Everything I read that all the Yonah core Core Duo/solo, Pentium and Celeron with a FSB of 533 are compatible. The FSB 667 models are not.

  The Core Duo T2450 at 2 GHz is the highest performing compatible processor but double the price on eBay. I paid just £12 (used) for the T2350 so there is really no reason to go down now, all of these parts are obsolete.

  RAM - there are 2 slots on this machine. Toshiba State a maximum of 2 GB, 1 GB in each slot. Unfortunately, the memory controller is very picky and survey of the weird errors, unless you get just the right ones.

  There is not enough information to understand it so for me it was a process of trial and error. Fortunately, I found an online retailer that guaranteed compatibility in 100% and returned by mail for free.

  The second pair of Poles worked well.

  Thanks for sharing!

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-101

  Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) successfully, but I find it incredibly difficult to get information on the replacement of the processor.

  The laptop has the latest version of the BIOS on it (3.10 - WIN - 02/19/08), but trying to find information on whats inside I'm hitting brick walls. First of all the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/< doesn't="" have="" my="" laptop="" on="" it,="">
  Product type: notebook
  Family: Satellite
  Product series: Satellite L series
  Model:? unknown
  Short model No.:? unknown

  I hope I could paste in but with the ATI chipset Intel Duo, I'm sure that it won't work but once again without knowing what in the BIOS, compatible... I got lost. Single processor I can find who can work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo T1350 of processor which begins at 1.86 GHz, not a huge difference, and I don't know that it cannot be the only option of replacement.

  Could someone and please help me to get the hands on info from BIOS and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 deporting the 1.46 GHz is not good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi-task. His way of late too even after a good tune up, ram, HD 7200 rpm upgrade. I need an upgrade of the processor, but as mentioned it is incredibly difficult to get the information which would be compatible.

  Sincerely,

  Gourcuff

  Hello

  In my opinion, your attempt to replace the CPU is false. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer performance and it is designed for everyday use. Best evidence was the price. It wasn't so expensive.

  Can you please tell us why do you have new CPU? Do you use special software?

  Return to the replacement of the CPU. As you probably know laptops have limited upgrade options and it is related to the RAM and disk HARD upgrade. It's definitely not for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially of the cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
  Because of this, you will not be able to find relevant info on replacement of the CPU.

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

• Opportunities to upgrade HDD for Satellite L30-113

  I hope someone can help me on this one. I was wondering what are the possibilities for the upgrade of the disk on a Satellite L30-113. As the largest size of support etc. Or even if it's possible (I don't know much when it comes to upgrading laptops).

  If it is possible to upgrade to a larger size HARD drive what should be and what would be the process to upgrade as well as if there is a limit on the maximum size, etc.?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Each laptop BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore, you can only use a HARD drive formats supported.

  I used the L30 for a long time and to my knowledge, you could use the 40 GB, 60 GB and 80 GB hard drives for sure. Perhaps that the 100 GB HARD drive might work but I m not 100% sure and can not recommend this size of HARD drive.

  However, these hard drives must be compatible:
  Toshiba 40 GB - MK4032GSX
  60 GB - MK6034GSX
  80GB - MK8032GSX

• Re: Can I upgrade RAM on Satellite L30-134?

  Hello!

  My laptop is Satellite L30-134 (PSL33E-00E00WRU).

  I want to use RAM DDR2 800 Mhz 2 x 1 Gb in there. Is this possible?

  On the motherboard FSB speed is 533 MHz so I advise you to use compatible RAM modules.
  I don't know why you want to use these Rams from 800 MHz. For more performance or what?
