Core speed, low/Satellite Pro 4200 Series

According to the laptop's manual the cpu is a pentium III E 500 MHz in my satellite pro 4200 laptop (operating system: Windows XP home edition). Checking the score speed with CPU-Z software this detects only a core speed of some 250 MHz! How can I increase the core speed to 500 MHz?

I installed the Toshiba Power Saver (XP with SP2) the processors speed icon is not activated. Using direct help on the Toshiba Power Saver screen it tells me This machine cannot modify its processor speed! But the software CPU-Z which checks the core speed still tells something of about 255 MHz but never 500 MHz!
Furthermore I can not adjust the cooling method (also with Toshiba Power Saver) either. The cooling methods setting is Performance. Is this possible?
tschantz2 and tschantz1 are the same person. So please do not be confused.

What is the difference between Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.
I bought a mobo from ebay which was from a 4290, and today it arrived, but the problem was that it has a seemingly fixed CPU, which stands out much less from the board than the one on the 4220 board, and therefore does not connect with the cooling mechanism from my 4220.
At least something comes on when I start up now, but unfortunately it doesn't get past the Toshiba screen which tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.
Having also spent money on memory and a new cpu, I don't want to let this one go, and have seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - anyone know if this will fit in with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the 4220 mainboard.
I'm assuming that these might be compatible since I have managed to find a pdf of a service manual which covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing so I dont' know if that highlights any differences.
It's frustrating that there are no pdfs available for these older models, at least with specs on them, and it's very hard to find any info.
As usual, thanks for any help!

Hi
As far as I know both series uses the Intel Mobile Pentium III microprocessor with MMX?Technology.
I found out these details:
Satellite 4260 Series: Mobile Pentium III 450MHz
Satellite 4270 Series: Mobile Intel Celeron 500MHz
Satellite 4280 Series: Mobile Pentium III 500MHz
Satellite 4320 Series: Mobile Pentium III 600MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep Technology
Satellite 4340 Series: Mobile Pentium III 650MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep Technology
The notebooks measures should be also the same. So in my opinion it should be possible to use the same motherboard in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

Satellite Pro 4200 recognize RAM only in slot B

I have recently obtained a Satellite Pro 4200 and want to increase the memory to 320MB.
To start I purchased a 128MB module and have found that with a 64MB module in one slot and the 128 MB in the other the system only recognises the module in slot B.
Does the modules in the two slots have to be the same value for the system to recognise them? i.e. both 128MB or both 64MB.
If this is the case its OK but if it is not I dont want to purchase another 128MB module if the slot is unservicable.
Thanks
Billabilla.

Hi
Wow Sat Pro 42000 is an oldie I didnt think that someone would use this notebook in the future I mean it was a great notebook but the performance it too low for present-days.
As far as I know the Satellite Pro 4200 was equipped with Mobile Intel Celeron 500Mhz or with an Intel Pentium III 450Mhz/500Mhz.
The units equipped with Pentium 450Mhz CPU can be upgraded up to 320MB. All other units can be upgraded up to 576MB.
I think the 64MB module should not be removed!!!
You have to use 64MB + 128MB or 256MB or 512MB (only for models with 500Mhz CPU).
Hope this helps you

How to disable Standby/Hibernation on Satellite Pro U series

Hi,
I have on my Satellite Pro U series Windows Vista Professional installed.
During the defragmentationprocess my machine goes automatically into standby.
Does anyone know how to disable standby temporarely, so the defragmentation process can finish properly.
Edited by: Admin on 01-Dec-2007 08:13

Hi there,
to disable the Standby/Hibernation on your system you must simply go into "Control Panel" and open the "powersaver" to edit the powersaver settings.
The Powersaver contains profiles where all powersaving related settings are defined. So you can edit such profile and disable the standby/hibernation to perform your defragmentation.
Would be useful if you post which system you have..
Greetings

Satellite Pro L650 Series - White balance of screen error

Hi all,
I am using a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes wrong white balance. In detail, the screen brightens so dazzling with strange white color. If I open some website, the pictures in the website becomes blurred images.
If I set the screen in blue color, it cannot easy realize the dazzling color, but if I set the screen in white or green and yellow, it become so abnormal colors and blurred.
I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.
Is there anyone meet this problem like me?
Could you share to me what the problem is? and what is the solution for this problem?
Thank you very much,

Hi
Did you notice this screen issue running notebook with main power or just using battery power?
I read about similar notebook screen issue which was related to Intel display power saving technology.
In such case you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - power tab - power source/battery - power conservation feature - display power saving technology and uncheck this option.

RAM upgeade at Satellite Pro 4200

Can anyone confirm what the max ram size is and slot configuration for my sat pro 4200 please? At present it has 196,016kb and I want to increase it. Some sites show it has 320kb max and others 576kb.
Thanks
Gardenswing

Hello
I didnt find any info about Satellite Pro 4200 but I know for sure that Satellite Pro 4220 can be upgraded up to 320 MB max. Both notebooks are the same and I believe this info is valid for your notebook too.
Compatible 128 MB module has part number PA3005U-1M12.

Satellite Pro 4200: Cannot install the correct graphics drivers Win ME

I have just re-installed Windows ME on the Satellite Pro 4200 machines but I do not seem to be able to install the correct graphics/diplay drivers. Can anyone help
Thanks

Hi
What graphic card was installed in this oldie???
I dont think that Toshiba provides any Win ME drivers for this unit and therefore you should Google in the internet for graphic driver.
Good luck

Problems with disk drive assembly Satellite pro 4200

Hi Eltgen
Sorry but it is not easy to say what the problem is on this way. If I understand you right you have built in a new FDD because old one was defective. Am I right?
It will be interesting to know is the new one already used part. Maybe is the new one also defective. I hope that a small control light is on if you put the disk inside.

Floppy Disk drives for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series

I have four Satellite Pro laptops - a 4340, a 4310, a 4270 and a 4280 and I'm having difficulty getting the 4310 and the 4270 to recognise a particular FDD. My understanding was that Mitsumi D353G FDDs were compatible with these 4200 and 4300 series laptops but I can't get the 4270 and the 4310 to "see" them. They will both however "see" an alternative FDD I have - a Pansonic JU-226A202FC but I only have one of them and two laptops needing a replacement FDD. I have tried a D353G that I know works (from my 4280) in both the 4310 and the 4270 but to no avail. I'm keeping an eye out for another Pansonic JU-226A202FC FDD on ebay but no luck so far. It's so frustrating as I'm sure a D353G FDD should work in the 4270 and 4310 and I have two spare ones which I wanted to use. I've looked in TSETUP.exe and can see no settings I can change to make these laptops see the D353G FDDs so any help or insight greatly appreciated. Does anyone out there have a 4270 or a 4310 successfully running a D353G FDD or, is this a quirk and these two particular models were only made to work with a Pansonic JU-226A202FC FDD not the D353G FDDs? Any clues?

Hello
Unfortunately I am not technician but I assume that there is obviously some problem with compatibility. It is possible that pin assignment is different and you can not use them. If you want to have a precise explanation you should contact technicians. I am pretty sure that they have motherboard schemes and can give you a proper explanation and advice how to handle with this problem.
Good luck!

Adjust Screen Brightness Satellite Pro 4200

Hello,
i heard from a combination of keys which makes adjusting the screen brightness possible.
Is that true and what is the key-combination?
Yours sincerely
Riedlz

Hello
Nicky is absolutely right but as far as I know all Toshiba notebooks have the same keyboard and all have the same key combination for brightness changing. Your Satellite Pro is pretty old and at this time maybe it was a little different.
Like Nicky already said check the Users manuals or you can download one if you need it.
You can find it under http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.htm

0201: Failure IDE #0 - Satellite Pro M Series

I cannot believe this is not searchable on this site given it has plenty of mentions on the net.... I certainly cannot find an answer here already so sorry for asking again.
Old Pro M-series had to put new hard drive in, however whilst I can start the Toshiba disks (odd that its XP capable but disks are for 98?) or I can run installation of XP and format the disk when it reboots after first files installed or boots not with an installation disk I get
0201: Failure IDE #0
What do I need to do to the disk to get the laptop to boot from it, odd how it can be seen by the setup program and files written to it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the input, a few things for me to try, however what still baffles me is if bios has issues with the HHD then how come windows XP recognises it, formats it and installs windows on it without fault...... when it restarts to complete the installation it gets stopped by the error.
So the windows installation disk is the bootable program from CD and that is what accesses the disk. Its when the HDD is asked to boot by itself that the error occurs. If the disk was blanked and windows is installed reformatting the disk, does this not put the necessary Master Boot Record et al things in place?
There seems to be no definitive answer to this problem after all these years and queries..... does Toshiba not know why this problem occurs?

Question about WiFi with a Satellite Pro 4200

Has anyone already connect a wifi card on a Satellite Pro (W98)? Please let me know type of PCMCIA, etc ... Alternatively wired connection to Lan.
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know you can use any types of PCMCIA WiFi card on your unit.
Sometimes you have to install the drivers or any Utilities from the PCMICIA Wireless card manufacturers. Please check some websites in Google. There you can find many attractive offers for WiFi cards.
Best regards

Vista drivers for Satellite Pro U400 series

Hi,
I have a U400-142 (PSU45E) Sat Pro laptop. My IT guy wiped Vista off it (against my wishes) and stuck on XP. He even gave me a XP recovery disc! I've now removed XP and stuck back on Vista. Sadly the drives for Vista Business don't seem to be on the Toshiba Website (only XP). Does anyone know where I can get the drives or can supply them.
Thanks

Hi
I think the Vista drivers for the Satellite Pro U400 (PSU45E) will come soon.
So check from time to time the Toshiba European driver page because the drivers can be released in the next couple of days.
Please give me a feedback if you will find the drivers!!!

Satellite Pro L series starts with error message

Someone has played about with the BIOS or whatever on my laptop.
Now I cannot get past the log on in safe mode (black and white) screen and the error message OXOOOOOO7B OXF7A8E63C OXC0000034 comes up.
I can't find disks to reboot or whatever and don't know what to do to sort out the problem.
Any help will be most appreciated, as I am really at a loss as to what to do for the best as I don't know an awful lot about computers in as much as to how to put right problems such as this.

Hi
You could try to repair the system.
Power up the unit and press F8,
Now you will see the Advanced boot options:
Here you can choose the option: Last known good configuration
If this option does not help your, reboot the unit and press F8 again.
Then choose first option: repair my computer
Here you can choose between different options.
You can allow Win 7 to scan for problems and to fix it automatically or you will use the Toshiba HDD recovery option to restore the whole system.
