Want to revive a dead Satellite Pro 4220 XCDT

Hi, hope someone here can help me!

I had recently an old 4220 by a friend for free with the sorting and new mobile phones her friends (ie remove Vista and put xp on them so they would actually work!). He was a Catalan installation of XP on it, so I wiped it and put Windows 2000 on it, which was great, except that I kept getting the error code 31 on the pcmcia wireless card I put in there, so I upped it to XP that worked well with the map, but due to limitations of the system has been little juddery when multimedia streaming. I decided to give another 2000 go and reinstalled and tried to set the mode of recovery to try to resolve the error 31, but had no luck with it.

However, when I reset the recovery mode machine, he returned once never again: no picture, no beeps, but the power/battery lights are on, and it runs the cd-rom for a few seconds. In addition, by pressing the "fn" key lights up its small led above the keyboard, but only for the first 30 seconds or while it is switched on. I tried to connect another monitor, but no luck, I tried by pressing the 'ESC' or 'F1' when trying to get into the bios or something else, I have tried unplug electric network and remove the battery from the day overnight as suggested elsewhere and I even took it apart and removed the battery cmos for a few seconds , but none of it worked.

Can I assume that it is most likely a blown motherboard? If so, am I right to assume that 4200 has the same motherboard as the 4300 series (the TOSHIBA B36086701), and that a replacement should do the trick? In addition, I find it difficult to find the specs on this forum, I would buy a faster processor for this (currently has a P3 450), and I was wondering what is the speed max can take? (See someone on this forum say there a p3 700 in his, but wondered whether she could get one faster?)

Also, before he died, I tried to increase the RAM, it has 64 MB on board and he had a key of 64 MB Toshiba in here, but I bought on ebay 2 x PC133 128 mb 144 pin SODIMM, but when I tried to start with them the OS would fail (XP said it had a defective pci.sys and 2000 would simply wants) However I was able to get any of the Poles recognized in A slot in the BIOS. Am I right in thinking that this map is pretty picky and need memory PC100, IE can make memory to resign?

Thanks for any help!

I think of 450 to 700 mhz, it's a very nice performance gain on this old machine.
Anyway have you tried to put the memory of 64 MB module and start your laptop?

And you're right, you need memory with this form:

SO DIMM Non ecc PC100

Hello saidharouna

I'm not 100% sure but Satellite Pro 4220 is on unit of 5 years. I'm sure you know very well that this time USB 2.0 was not in use. Since 2.5 or 3 years units have USB 2.0 ports.

Satellite Pro 4220; Question on price

Hello

Some time ago I found an old laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro series machine, model 4220. It has a Pentium 3 450 Mhz, video card Trident with MB and 256 MB of ram. The only question is, how much it will cost when it is released, and when it came out.

Thanx.

Wow, your question is very special ;)

Hmm this laptop was released many years ago it s an oldie :D
As I remember it came out November 1999!

But unfortunately, I have not found any price! I think that it of not possible to say what cost this laptop.
Notebook dealers create portable final price and it depends on many factors such as country, supply and demand, etc...!

But maybe a few grandmothers and grandfathers could recall the price ;)

Hello

I checked the properties of the TOSHIBA PA3005U - 1 M 12 memory module in the web, and it seems that it is a 128 MB PC100 SODIMM module.

In addition, I think that you can update your device with 2x128MB but please check the square inside the unit if there are 2 available memory slots.

Satellite Pro 4220 - update the BIOS does not start

Hello!

Please, someone tell me what is the problem with the update to v1.60 SP4220 BIOS? It does not start even do it according to instructions.

I did the following:
1 download/have unzipped the package v1.60 since the BIOS page on a non-bootable floppy disk empty
2. put the floppy in the computer
3. turn on the device with the F12 key

With a floppy, I got the "non-system disk" error and another with a "EMBRL" error message missing. What is it, I'm not familiar with that one?

Best regards

Pete v.

Hello

Can I ask why you want to update the BIOS?
You have problems?
If the laptop works well the update of the BIOS is not necessary! My laptop is about 6 years old and I have no day BIOS!

However, I think that you didn't use the right update procedure.
Please check this document before starting the BIOS update:

Satellite Pro 4200 - need help for Windows 95 & drivers!

Hello! Years ago my mother, I bought a fully functional, great Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 working the place taken sales... Since that day, my laptop has not been used. But now, I found a few games nostalgic childhood of mine, who works only with Windows 95. I wanted to play, and I decided to install Windows 95 to my laptop. The installation process went well, it was a bit complicated at first because of the startup disk and such. But I managed to install a working fully Windows 95 in my laptop! But it gives me only 16 colors and no option to choose the resolution! So I found out that I need to install the video card drivers.

I have google a bit and discovered that my laptop has chart S3 Savage IX. I failed to find the appropriate drivers for it. Until I went to your site to support canada and traveled for a pilot of similar laptops. I found Windows 95-98 compatible drivers for my card. The installation process was easy, is well past and fine! I then could choose 256 colors and another resolution (which I did not actually change...). I changed the colors and then restarted. Everything went well until windows 95 logo screen came suddenly to the top and after that I only saw colors and black borders. He did not start Windows properly. What can be wrong? At I have download the wrong drivers? Windows told me 2 different versions, IX and MX. I tried them both. Tried to change the Hz also, but nothing helped. Please help me!

Thanks in advance,
Jupstejuho of Finland.

P.S Sorry for my bad English...

Edit: OH, BTW is the exact version of my OS: Microsoft Windows 95 Finnish b with USB support (I Don t know the version very very accurate actually... but I just mention that it is version B of the operating system.) Could this be the problem? I also tried the same driver downloaded from toshiba europe Web site, but it won't let me just install the drivers 'already installed' and they really are. I did not uninstall them, I tried to run the uninstall utility, but it doesn't work...!

Hello!

Maybe chose a resolution not supported?
This happens to you at all resolutions, or only one?

Normally, you can download all the drivers on the European site of Toshiba, but I only find Satellite Pro 4220, 4240 and so far but not 4200.

However, have you tried to do a BIOS update?
Before installing the graphics driver, you need to update the version of DirectX.
You can find the Toshiba site:

Hello

Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
Maybe you about success.

On Satellite Pro 6100 HARD drive password

Hello

I have an almost dead Satellite Pro 6100, I was almost back on its feet, but we wonder a HHD password on start up. Apparently, one of the portable computers security features is "Password HARD drive on request".

There were ideas! Cannot ask the laptop I can't!

When the HARD drive password is set, and you start the laptop you must enter this password. Otherwise the drive will not spin.
The functionality of the HARD drive password is to secure the data on the disc. If you do not have the password: no chance to use the HARD drive.
So if you can't enter or ask for the password you must swap the HARD drive.

Buy the way it is always strange if someone "owns" a laptop and one does not know the passwords! If you bought the computer laptop may it is stolen...

What is a maximum size of HDD for Satellite Pro 2100?

I want to improve my aging Satellite Pro 2100 (PS210E-00C3G-GR) with a new hard drive. The BIOS supports more than 120 GB drives?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm. 120 GB HARD DRIVE? I don t think so. But this is only my personal opinion.
To my knowledge, the Pro 2100 was equipped with 30 GB HARD drive.

I think that the 60GB is a realistic size and could be seen by the BIOS.

In any case, I didn't find any official Toshiba information support max sizes of HARD drive and I imagine that you must test the HARD drive.

Satellite Pro 4340 - RAM upgrade problem

I have exactly the same problem as Juan29. Link to his post below.
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15837&MessageID=57907

I want to improve my Toshiba Satellite pro 4340 to 320 MB of ram.
The computer came with 64 internal RAM and I bought 2 x 128 MB of ram.

My problem is that the second (B) ram slot does not detect the new ram.
2 x 128 MB of ram were tested both in the ram slot (A) and work.
I thought that a bios upgrade would solve the problem, but it didn't.

I have the same defective (B) housing like Juan or does it have
a solution?

Help, please.
Best regards

What memory did you use?
I've found that these modules are compatible:
PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB KIT MEMORY

I think there could be a problem of compatibility of the module.
I put t see any other reason the problem

Satellite Pro C650 - USB ports now DEAD

Over the past 48 hours have really struggled to get my USB ports work,
Toshiba SATELLITE PRO C650 lappy running W7... At only 2 usb ports.

A couple of days, I bought a new stick of memory... 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer Blade... He stuck in lappy and anything that happened outside my mouse attached wireless stopped working.
Since then, the ports were completely dead. (stick now appears on anotherPC)
That's what I did so far, after a search web solutions thro...

Device Manager display ports everything is OK with no exclamations...
When I insert any USB device... no sound confirmation of PC and Dev Mgr flinch...
Tried to uninstall port/hubs and leaving W7 re-install them using... Still dead...
Trying to remove battery and power sector during the centuries, then re start off the power... Still dead...

I think that my last resort looking for a factory system by default re install... but one have a mountain of things astro which must be saved and cannot be done through many many discs.
I really want to be sure ive tried everything before you do this.

Could I have really damaged the MB. ??
I now nowhere so fast if theres anyone out there has any suggestions please shout...

> I think that my last resort looking for a factory system by default re install... but one have a mountain of things astro which must be saved and cannot be done through many many discs

Even if it s really painful to get everything installed it again, I would recommend to recover the laptop using the Toshiba recovery disc or HARD drive recovery.

> Could I have really damaged the MB. ??
Well, it's hard to say before trying the recovery procedure.
If the USB ports are not working after using the recovery disk (or HDD recovery), then of course: the mobo may be affected, therefore, in my view, the laptop must be set to the factory settings.

512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

Your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM. So if you want to have the maximum amount of RAM, you must use 2 x PA3513U-1M2G.

I have it? ;)
