• Update on the Satellite P30-133 hard drive

  Hello
  I own a P133 Satellite with a 80 GB HARD drive and I would like to replace the HARD drive.

  1. How do I "safely" take it out?
  2. how GB support Satellite
  3. likely to be mounted a Toshiba no? 99% of Yes, but sometimes producers are naughty and try to get you to buy what they want and therefore lost a customer!

  Can anyone help with these questions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  First a question; You really a P133 Satellite?
  This laptop is not known to me and I don t I think this series exists.

  I saw your other thread and it seems that you have a Satellite P30. Am I wrong?

  OK I'll try to give some info on the P30.

  (1) the location of the HARD drive is located at the bottom of the unit. You must turn the computer. Remove the two black screws to release the HARD drive door. Pull the tab to remove the HARD drive unit. Remove the HDD Enclosure HARD drive. Note: after the removal of the portable computer HARD drive you need to remove also the brackets that are piling up on both sides of the HARD drive.

  (2) you can use the 2.5 ", 9.5 mm HDD with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB/80/100 GB / 120 GB. The HARD drive should support the Bus Master IDE and 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

  (3) as far as I know you can use HDD from different vendors, but hardware specifications must be supported (see point 2 :)))

• Karma QA1 - what is the 'satellite' means icon?

  Anyone know what it means the little satellite icon, when it is displayed in the status indicators? It is to the left of the ring style indicator. I think this may be related to GPS, but do not have this feature enabled on my phone, so I do not know why the icon appears. It seems to be all the time.

• This replacement of hard drives are supported by the Satellite P30?

  Hello
  My P30 came with a HARD disk that rotates at 4500 rpm of 80 GB. I really need a floppy that can write and access data fast enough for video editing (rendered) and multi track audio recording.

  Are there alternative products that can improve the performance of my computer? I have already ordered 2 GB of RAM.
  Would a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 works with my device?

  I guess you mean the Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 100 GB drive HARD 7200 RPM 8 MB cache 2, drive HARD 5Zoll.
  I think you can use the HARD disk with the following properties:

  hard drive 9.5 mm with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB / 80 / 100GB / 120GB
  Bus Master IDE
  Support 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

  Disk HARD 7200prm will produce more heat but perhaps the laptop could handle this. Otherwise you will get some overheating shutdown downs.

• On the Satellite P30-131 power problem

  I have a power problem and I tried the process of elimination, but could do with help, I gave as much detail as possible and appreciate any help or advice.

  This started a few weeks ago and seems to be deteriorating slowly.
  I turned on the laptop and all 3 lights before the main power on fully charged battery light and light green...

  I started noticing a few times when my power cord is plugged into the laptop that, without warning, the laptop switches to the battery power and also turns off power light, battery light turns off too but which may or may not happen, in any case the laptop is still on but now running on battery.

  I then out of the supply cable and reconnected it hoping that power is restored, but it has no effect, I have to close then low laptop unplug then Pug back in and I get all 3 lights and then I can start.
  Now, when I boot it does not always solve the problem and I can finish on a few seconds of starting battery.

  Its certainly not the battery because it has a new battery replaced 12 months however, its either the adapter or the connection inside the laptop that plugs into the adapter.

  The reason I think it is perhaps one of them is when the laptop going to battery, lead that is always plugged into laptop, I moved, and this can cause the return of t lights and also the laptop back in, power once again, but if I let go then it goes to the battery again one the light turns off. I also took the battery out and kicked and the laptop works but has lost the power sometimes when I moved it turned off my tour so I'm sure that it is related to the lead, but do not know if its internal or external.

  Any help or advice appreciated

  Thank you

  What kind of help did you expect exactly?

  > Its certainly not the battery as it was a new battery replaced 12 months however, its either the adapter or the connection inside the laptop that plugs into the adapter.

  It seems you have tested everything that could be tested using common control procedures, I think that more is not possible
  I can provide also a few suggestions and I m coming to the conclusion that neither electronic power supply is not ok or your power adapter.
  But I would tend to the first; electronic power supply.

  As you can see that these are only suggestions

• Satellite P30-143 - need memory to increase the RAM

  Hello

  I need some memory for my Toshiba laptop, it's a Satellite P30 - 143 (PSP30E-21301GS4) PC2700s DDR333MHZ CL2.5
  I want RAM Kingston, but I can't find on the site kingstonmemory. And I do not know the maximum that I can use.

  No idea?

  Thank you
  Johann

  Hi Johann

  Well, in regards the user manual, you can upgrade the RAM up to 2 GB. This means that you can put in 1 Gigabit in each memory location.

  The new RAM should have the following specifications: DDR - RAM PC2700 (DDR333)
  Normally, you should find these modules of RAM on the site of Kingston because I bought PC2700 DDR - RAM year older last of Kingston for my laptop and it works perfectly.

  By the way: in the use of the Satellite P30 manual you can find useful instructions how to upgrade the RAM.

  Good bye

• Question about port COM on Satellite P30

  Hello

  I have the Satellite P30.

  I am trying to connect a GPS to the laptop.
  Write GPS on COM Port - COM1 - COM5

  The laptop had only USB and no COM port.
  Is it possible to attach a laptop COM port?

  Thank you

  Clive

  Do you mean the real com ports or virtual COM ports?

  However, I guess that this device can be connected to a USB port and then a virtual COM port will be created.
  In this case the drivers must be installed provided with this device.

• Satellite P30 - is there room for two physical hard disks?

  Is there someone who can tell if the satelit P30 has room for another hard drive?

  (I was able to open it, but hesitate!)

  LEF

  Hello

  Some laptops are supported a selectbay option to use for example a second HDD or a player.
  Unfortunately, the Satellite P30 doesn t support this. If you want to have more HARD disk space, you can buy a larger HARD drive or you are using an external USB HDD.

  Hello

  Why you suggested that you have no USB2 on your laptop?
  Did you get any error messages or other issues?
  According to the Toshiba user manual this laptop supports USB2 and should have pre-installed all USB drivers.

• Can I install a wireless card in my Satellite P30-141 wireless Bay?

  P30-141 does not come with wireless capabilities and I can't follow all the cables of wireless antennas that must reside in the top cover of the machine, but I would like to know if it is possible to undertake my own installation of a toshiba wireless card? Would anyone out there know of a specific wireless card model / reference number that could be used to do this? I am quiet happy tinkering around inside the machine, like its four years past the warranty I think I already replaced the LCD once, so I'm pretty familiar with the guts, just can't find any documentation on this component getting in this particular machine.

  Any advice would be a great help!

  Hello

  As far as I know the number of units of the Satellite P30 series were equipped with card WLan.
  So I think that the motherboard must contain the necessary PCI WLan mini slot.
  But the question is if this unit was equipped with the WLan antenna.
  If there is no cable antenna (black, white) near the miniPCI location, then this would mean that the WLan antenna is not available and this means that you could not install the card miniPCI Wlan module.
  Without the antenna you will receive no WLan signal!

  Why you n t try a USB WiFi key? It s in use and you don t just any external antenna.

• Question about the management of feeding on Satellite P30

  Hi all

  I ve just had to replace my hard drive on my Satellite P30 in which I lost everything!
  Before that, I had a program including the fan speed and cooling c.p.f. set.
  I thought that it was the Toshiba power saver but I tried to install this and it seems that it s not the same
  program that doesn't do these things.

  My laptop seems completely disable when I m a game,.
  in the past I've refused the c.p.f. a level that seems to do the trick which I just can't do it now.
  He was an icon that looks like a pile of Paolo if that helps.

  Help, please?

  If the laptop is full of dust, and I can imagine that P30 can be pretty dusty after so long, I don't think the air blower it will be clean again. I had P20 and after two years of use, there was so can dust inside and cooling grill has been blocked.

  The laptop does not turn off, but it was strong enough and cooling fan was running without permanently.

  Anyway, I don't know what program you used but for Toshiba P30 offered own tool to optimize the system and power consumption.

  Did you find the name of this program?

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  :-)

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

  Best regards

• Satellite P30-145: where to find the Radeon 9700 Mobility for Vista drivers

  Does anyone at - he had a success get drivers ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 to arrive correctly on a P30-145 on the RTM of Vista version? Currently, everything seems to be detected ok but I get an error in saying Device Manager: "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) "Googling didn't turn out much more than a certain number of people see this same error and it could be necessary an update of the BIOS, or the problem may be in the area of drivers ACPI?

  Outside the upcoming graphics card not properly the only other comment I have is that system standby support doesn't seem to appear and that the cooling fan is continuously on, both of which I'm sure that can be fixed with a Toshiba release.

  All had experiences with Vista and Satellite P30?

  Hello

  I have no Satellite P30, but it will be interesting to see what kind of support Toshiba will arrange for older models of laptops and where will be the last limitation (how the old units will be supported).

  AFAIK P30 is about two years old and we will see if the units in the year 2005 will be Vista supported. Official start is January 2007. Before that I n t believe you will get official info. I just hope that my Satellite Pro M70 will be supported.

  In any case good luck!
