Upgrading processor on Satellite Pro SP 2100

Hi all.

I have a portable Satellite Pro SP 2100 with a Celeron 1.5 GHz (SL6FN) processor.
Becomes a bit long in the tooth if I decided to buy a processor 2.0 GHz Pentium - SL6FK with 512 KB of L2 Cache. I did research on the index of processors intel and the CPU-World site to see if this processor would be compatible - it seemed virtually no difference, the same identification number, the same socket, but when I installed it all I get is a continuous beep on market and no Toshiba Logo.

I had to go down to a 1.8 GHz Celeron, which is a little faster but almost identical to a full blown Pentium.

There IS a version of processor Mobile Pentium 2 GHz of the SP2100 - I guess the harware would be the same, but I'm obviously wrong.
I tried to Flash the BIOS with the latest version, but without result. Is this a BIOS problem?
Perhaps the BIOS of my laptop with the SL6FN processor is not compatible with the new processor? And think - me a manager of network for 7 years!

I hope someone can help,

Alan.

  • Upgrading processor on Satellite Pro M40 PSM46E

    I currently have a Celeron M 1.4 GHz CPU in my laptop, the model 360, socket 479. Is it possible to upgrade the Core Solo or Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo)? If this is not the case, what are my upgrade options? I'd be happy with the Pentium M processors.

    CPU - Z says my motherboard is an ATI with a Chipset RS400/RC400 SB400. I tried Googling this for the support of the processor, but it always birngs upward versions of office, not mobile.

    Usually it s not easy and not recommended to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because you won't have no guarantee that after such upgraded the laptop will run stable.
    The fastest CPU produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating.

    But to my knowledge, the units have been delivered with these processors:
    Intel processor Dothan (533 MHz) 730 (1.6 G), 740 (1.73 G), 750 (1.86 G), 760 (2.0 G) and 770 (2.13GHz)

  • 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 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 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. ;)

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A120-166

    Hi guys,.

    I m new on this forum and looking for a bit of technical advice. I'm looking to upgrade the memory in my Satellite Pro A120-166 to the threshold of 4 GB complete as described in the manual.

    How to choose what memory to buy? Is the speed of the memory must match the FSB on the processor or what?

    The online manual lists at 533 MHz FSB, but if I go into the performance of the system on my laptop, it says that it's an Intel (r) [email protected], 800 MHz, 256 MB RAM. This means that my FSB is 800 MHz?

    The online manual says that my phone comes with 256 MB of ram DDR2 (533 MHz), so I'm a little lost as to what side MHz memory to buy now.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    You are right about maximum RAM. You can improve it up to 4 GB.
    Toshiba recommends for compatible use PA3513U-1M2G (DDR2-667 2 GB Memory Kit).

    You can also use the module of Kingston. Visit their page, and you will find a list of the compatible modules.
    Please don't be confused about MHz. You can use the module with 667 MHz.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro M30

    Hi colleagues!

    My comp is Satellite Pro M30-873. He has only 512 MB of main memory.
    I want to spend 1 to 2 GB. Recommended memory is Kingston KTT3311
    which is extremely difficult to buy. A very similar memory of Kingston is KVR333X64SC25.

    It is fully compatible with M30? Anyone tried?

    Thaks a lot in advance

    Hello

    Your laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM and compatible 1 GB of RAM except the number PA3313U-1M1G. Use this number for Google search.
    I hope you find somewhere. This module may not be more expensive so I recommend buying 2 of them and the upgrade of RAM maximum.

  • 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.

  • Upgrade Vista on Satellite Pro M70

    I have the disc Step By Step Business Express Upgrade DVD-ROM and updated and intend to install it on my Satellite Pro M70. The M70 is not among the list of computers.
    Where should I go from here?

    Ian

    Hello

    I m bit confused.
    What do you mean bythe M70 is not among the list of computers?

    You can perform the installation of Vista Express Upgrade or you can just install from the original CD of Microsoft Vista.
    This should be no problem! All Toshiba Vista need drivers and tools are published on the page of the Toshiba driver and all internal portable devices should be recognized as well.

  • Upgrade memory on Satellite Pro A10

    Can anyone advise me on the correct type of RAM to upgrade my Satellite Pro A10. Its a standard of 256 MB at the minute and I think to mortise in additional 512 MB next to her - but I am confused by the array of the types of memories and classifications - DDR - SODIMM etc!

    Practice with the screwdriver, but not so hot with the acronyms. A big thank you to you all out there who know the score!

  • Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
    So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

    To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

    As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite Pro L20

    If this can be answered, could someone tell me which module to upgrade should I choose in addition to the existing 512 MB?
    Thanks in advance

    Klator

    It of nice that you have found the laptop model after your own investigation.
    However, in my opinion the portable Satellite Pro L20 all support the same kind of memory, if it s L20-259 Pro or Pro L20-174

    The units are supported on these modules:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
