• What is an update of RAM max for Satellite 2800-400?

  64 MB, is built in (?). I found in the specifications max 192 MB, but I think that it s not up to date. Can I use RAM of 256 MB or 512 MB module?

  Please see this page:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7170&ft=m&St=3

  Satellite 2800-400 comes with 64 MB or 128 MB internal memory.
  If you have a laptop with 64 MB, you can improve the memory only to a maximum of 192 MB.
  The Sat 2800-400 with 128 MB internal memory can be improved up to max 256 MB!

  In both cases the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module is greater, which could be inserted!

  Hello

  The device was shipped with this sound card:
  Yamaha YMF754 FM, MPU401 MIDI synthesizer. SB - Pro compatible

  You can try to check out the other laptops with the same sound card for the new sound card driver or you visit the website of s manufacturer and research out there for the new version on this driver.

• New drive for Satellite 2800 400

  Hello

  The DVD/CD-player (402 SD - C02) in my Satellite 2800 400 no longer works.
  Are there other toshiba players that fit into this computer or is it just the 402 SD - C02?
  I would like to have a CD or a DVD burner instead.
  If anyone knows a CD or a DVD burner that fits in the Satellite 2800 400?
  Thank you

  Christoph

  Hello

  Pleas be careful with a new CD/DVD drive. All devices may not operate correctly with each laptop model. In my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and ask them because they have this kind of information.

• Satellite 2800-400 Bios Update - will not start

  Hello
  I hope someone here can help me.
  I just did an update of the bios on a S2800-400. The machine worked perfectly up to this point, has never had a problem at all. (should have been better I guess)
  Anyway, he is been 192 MB of ram and a 60 GB drive upgrade and works happily in this config for some time. The change I wanted was the ASPA compliance, but for some reason, the machine pours just as soon as he's trying to start now. The update of the bios has been according to the instructions and successful that the messages show. Do not know what to do now... Where can I find the old bios files? return to orig
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  As far as I know old BIOS version can be installed just in Service partner. Another possibility is to try to reinstall the OS from restore CD. Maybe using.

• Satellite 1800-400: cannot run/install applications after installing XP

  I bought a Satellite 1800-400 for my daughter for her school work, formatted, installed XP pro, and when I tried to install the software for a wireless card (3Com) for internet access, he said only: "the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  So I tried another card (Belkin) software it says "D:\ is not a valid Win32 application". So I tried to install the printer software and he says: 'the entry point of procedure not found in KERNEL32.dll dynamic link library.

  So I thought I'd try XP Home, exactly the same, Win 98 and WinME function without problem.
  I have also flashed the Bios, but it made no difference.

  Someone at - it ideas

  Simes

  Hmm, it s very strange. For me, it seems that some applications are not compatible with Windows XP. I m not 100% sure why it happens, but I put t think that it s a RAM problem because the other Windows Me and 98 to work properly.
  But nothing is impossible

  What version of BIOS is installed on your laptop? On the Toshiba page pilot 2.20 BIOS was released.
  If your laptop uses an older version, you can try to update.

• Satellite 2800-200 - where can I find XP drivers?

  It s worth a try! ;)

• 2800-400 BIOS update will allow LAN wireless 802.11 g?

  I recently bought a Belkin 54 G cardbus wireless adapter for use with my Satellite 2800-400, which has a Windows ME OS.
  The installer would not install a driver, even if I was told to be supported.

  I wrote to Belkin and they told me that it was because the BIOS of the laptop did not support wireless 802.11 g and that I should update the BIOS. I've updated to version 2 of the BIOS, but it made no difference.

  I don't know if the Belkin instructions were on the right track or if they were they just push the responsibility too far from themselves as they could.
  Please can someone tell me if my laptop supports 802.11 g wireless, with or without the BIOS upgrade?
  TIA
  Mike

  Hello

  I m not 100% sure that if your laptop supports a local network because wireless connection I put t found any information about it. But as far as I know it s not necessary to update the BIOS with the wireless card works.
  I recommend you contact the service partner. They have more detailed information on this unit.

• Satellite P100 - 324 BIOS reports less than real memory installed, why?

  I have a P100-324 Satellite which I installed 4 GB of memory.
  Memory is a Kingston KVR667D2S5 / 2G, so I installed 2 of them.
  I've updated the BIOS, but still when I press F2 to access the configuration
  I find that the less than 4 GB installed memory. It makes account
  3070 MB. When using windows the systeminfo program reports 4096 MB RAM.
  However, System properties, it shows 3.0 GB and that is because
  It is 32-bit windows xp mce. I ran live fedora 7 x 64 and he reports only 3 GB as the bios.
  Why? Is there a way to fix that.

• On the former extension of memory by Satellite 2800 200

  In the product form, I found that this model could have only the extension of memory of 128 MB. However in the user manual, they say that 256 MB expansion is also supported. Which one should I believe? And if the 256 MB is supported which is the appropriate memory model? Or is the limit really 128 MB and why? For some reason any HW?

  Where can I find information on what size hard drive are supported by this model?

  Hello

  my best friend also has a Satellite 2800 and updated his book up to 192 MB.

  I spoke with a Service partner and they told me that the following Rams will be fit.

  PA3003U - 1 M 03 32 MB
  PS3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
  PS3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB

  With the part number (P) you can order to a partner or an authorized dealer.

• Satellite 1800-400 ME upgrade to XP Pro?

  All successful one satisfactory to a Satellite 1800 400 upgrade or similar (384 MB of RAM, 20 GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron) of Win ME?

  Would prefer to upgrade to XP Pro, but pure install 2nd choice.

  If I have the HD format for a clean install, an updated XP version would recognize the recovery CD Toshiba a legitimate copy of the ME - I've heard that there may be problems?

  I have the intention to upgrade the BIOS and collect all the drivers available for this model proposed by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with all the material?

  Toshiba drivers must be loaded in a special order, and that is during or after installing XP?

  XP is likely to be faster or more slow/about the same thing as ME, with above hardware specifications?

  All advice welcome, because I have not upgraded the OS on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem more important than with desktop computers.

  Hello

  I put t not see why Windows XP Home edition should not be working on your device correctly. On this forum I have read many topics where users present on Windows XP Home edition on the old models as yours.

  Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and you will find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

  After installing WXP install display and sound driver first. Then install other drivers of material. The next step is installation of Toshiba stuff:
  Common modules
  Controls
  Energy-saving
  Public services.

  It is important to install common modules like the first.

• Satellite 2800-200 - what external enclosure that I can use for HARD drive

  My daughter has a laptop of Toshiba S2800-200 eldely.
  It is broken where the mains cable between the machine and she has been quoted £100 for repair!
  She has already bought a new computer repair is not an option.

  Toshiba, however, contains some files (photos, music etc, mainly) that she would like to keep, but get the files of the computer laptop and on its new machine is a problem.

  My thought is to buy a cheap USB basket somewhere like eBay, remove the hard drive and use the caddy to download photos. etc on his new computer via the USB port.

  To buy the correct caddy I need to know the full spec (diameter, capacity, etc.) of the Toshiba hard drive and I don't have a clue!

  Can someone here point me to the spec of the drive on a Toshiba S2800-200 please?

  I guess the Satellite 2800 series is supported by the IDE HDD controller and HARD drive would be also a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  That's why you should look for a USB IDE HDD box

• My Satellite S1800-400 won't start

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-400. When I press the button to start the computer, the witness only burns.
  The witness indicates that the laptop is on, but there is no activity. Not hard disk which start up, no disk drive that will run.
  Is there someone who can help me solve the problem?

  On this path, it is not easy to make any concrete diagnosis. You didn't write what is with display. Is there something visible? You can enter the BIOS settings?

  Try to remove the battery and test it again. Sorry, but your explanation is quite poor, and it's not easy to say anything. That give us the detailed description what is happening exactly.

• Hinges of satellite 2800 500

  OK, here's an obscure. I've owned my Satellite 2800 500 for about 4 years and I am very happy with it. Recently however, the hinges of the screen becomes very stiff to the point where they have now cracked their mounts aluminum just below the screen (inside the case). The laptop is now at about 15,000 items (especially the screws) to access the two hinges and know what is happening.

  I think they just erased (term technique.!) and took a couple of rings and lightly oiled inside to try to release them again. However, I tend very much hope that this will prove to be a long-term solution, so I'd like to find spare parts.

  Can anyone recommend some kind of provider to get two replacement hinge mechanisms please? They are manufactured by a company called the hundreds, but they just returned me to the Toshiba support. I am looking for tracks with third-party suppliers of parts, but there seems to be so many parts different hinge that it would be a huge stroke of luck to find a laptop broken 2800 for them to save.

  Any help would be most appreciated - thank you!

  Mike

  Hello Mike,.

  Normally, these hinges can be ordered only by a Service partner because it is a replacement repair part!
  You can try to contact a Service partner and ask if they can sell you these hinges!
