Upgrading the graphics controller on Satellite A30-404

I have a Satellite A30-404 with a relatively weak Intel® 852GME Graphics controller, some people say that you upgrade this computer laptop isn´t possible since the graphics controller is onboard, but after some research on www.intel.com I came to the conclusion that this chip after all is not onboard but is a slot to order ATI or Nvidia a better graphic chip trough. but iam still not sure if the chip is integrated or not so I wanted to know if this is possible

Hello

On the net I found detailed information on the graphics chip:

Intel 852GME graphics controller
Montara GT code name
Yes engine 2D
Yes 3D engine
64-bit memory data Bus width

But as far as I know it s not possible to update the graphics card.
If you want you can ask to view ASP.

Good bye

    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately, NO, since the graphics chip is welded (wired) on the motherboard. To play games, you can buy another machine with a better graphics card (Geforce 8700 M GT is very good).

    Sorry mate, but theres no chance of getting the best performance from your machine about games.

  • Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

    I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

    Let me start from the beginning:

    My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
    Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
    I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

    When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

    A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

    Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

    Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

    I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

    Any suggestions? Help, please

    EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

    Hello

    Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
    Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

    So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
    The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

    I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

  • Need new BIOS for Satellite A30 - 404 to upgrade to a larger HARD drive

    I want to install a new (larger) disk on my Satellite A30-404.
    He says have Bios version 1.80.
    I probably need more recent (since it was purchased in 2003).

    Y at - it a newer version for this machine?

    Hello

    Latest BIOS version can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
    Currently, the version of the BIOS 1.80 is available and published for the Satellite A30 PSA30E.

    By the way; a more recent BIOS will not help to use a bigger HDD!
    The point is that your laptop supports the Enhanced IDE (ATA-5).
    Since the ATA-5 interface supports the 28-bit LBA addresses you should be possible to use Max 128 GB OF HARD DRIVE. I think that this is the maximum size, which is possible.

  • Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

    Hello

    I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

    Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

    However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
    Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

    The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

    Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
    I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

  • Main problems to upgrade the graphics card in my Mac Pro in 2006.

    I am trying to upgrade the graphics card OEM in my Mac Pro 2006 to a Radeon HD 4870 1 GB graphics card.  I have big problems.  The previous owner recommended that my BONES 10.7.5 uninstalling and reinstalling.  I don't know how to do this.  The Apple website was no help with this issue.  The previous owner gave me a lot of procedures I've ever done before, including removing and re-creation of my RAM and using a Kext troubleshooting application.  Any suggestions you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    a 4870 with 1 GB of VRAM is not a real Mac card (who had only 512 MB of VRAM). Unlikely to show an image until the login screen, if ever. Unless the seller has a 100% guaranteed working procedure to get this working, I recommend you return for a refund - it is not likely to work in your Mac.

    A true 5770 Mac or 5870 is the best approach for a 2006 or 2007 Mac Pro, because they are known to work with everything except movies under copyright, and your Mac is stuck in the 32-bit kernel and pre - 10.7.5 MacOS.

    No portable computers graphics come AS - IS the only upgrade is to change the Board to a higher chart motherboard version if one is available and the cost can be more then buying a new laptop itself.

  • Upgrading the graphics card on my pavilion

    want to upgrade the graphics card to my PC in order to improve the gaming experience to this topic, the absence of a powerful video card is the only thing preventing my games works fine, so I was thinking about upgrading to a 2 GB card, but I don't know if my PC would actually support it or if I could install it at all.

    The NVIDIAGTX 650or the NVIDIA GTX 660would be a good choice.  I'd go with the GTX 660 if you want to run at resolutions higher than with the ultra game settings.    The Corsair CX 500 or CX600 would be good choice for a replacement power supply.

    The 6 GB of memory in your PC is a little low by RUST, but I would give it a go with the updates above before increasing the memory of your system.

  • Upgrade the processor to a Satellite A200-17O (PSAE6)

    Hello

    I was just curious to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor of my Satellite A200-17O (PSAE6) (it is an Intel core 2 duo T7100) to a Core 2 Duo more powerful as the T7500. I had intended to do so in a year or two, since at that time there prices for chips should go down and the power of the 2.2 ghz (or more) opposed to the 1.8 ghz may be necessary...

    I ask that is because when checking, it seems to be quite difficult to obtain for the CPU (which means I have to remove all of the bottom of the laptop to access; would be an obstacle, I could take however). My main concern is that if the Bios would then recognize the chip I use, what should essentially be compatible since it is always based on the right PM965 Chipset?

    Thank you in advance, I am grateful for any answer.

    Sorry mate but it s not possible to upgrade your system with a new processor because your system it s not like a desktop system that can be easily upgraded.
    The problem is, these components such as the processor and VGA are "wired" for the user, which means that the manufacturer of a lack of doesn´t of mobile system to change any of these comps.

    You may have a chipset that can handle more CPU, but the BIOS is not how you think. You will have massive problems since the cooling system are designed individually for each machine, but each unit has its own BIOS configuration and so on.

    Probably the most interesting is that you will lose your warranty if you really take apart your machine yourself.
