How to replace CMOS on Satellite 3000-514?

My laptop won't boot anymore (though the power lights come on) and I suspect the CMOS needs replacing.
How do I open and replace it in my Satellite 3000-514?
I tried dismantling the back, but got stuck.
Any help?
Thanks.

To be honest I don't think CMOS battery is responsible for this.
I had old Tecra notebook and I didn't use it last 3 years. When I wanted to start it there were no problem, just message that CMOS battery is empty were shown. When you connect notebook to the AC power supply after 48 hours the CMOS battery should be loaded again.
In your case it is probably some hardware related issue but it is not easy to say what can be wrong there. Maybe is BIOS corrupted, maybe is CPU defective. Who knows?

Satellite 3000-514: How to activate Intel WLan 2200BG hardware button

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-514 and an Intel Centrino Mini-PCI WLan card. (Intel???® PRO/Wireless 2200BG) Running win-XP and Ubuntu on it.
Is there a solution to sidestep the problem, that the wlan-software wants me to push a hardware-button to activate wireless lan, that my Laptop just don't have?
In a german forum someone mentioned solving the problem by using "easy button", a program I already downloaded from Toshiba.
But you can only choose .exe files to be connected to a button. Is there an .exe file to make the software think I pushed that not existion wlan-hardwarebutton?
*sigh* Help!?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad english.

Hm,
sounds tricky. I have no software solution for you, but I have an alternative solution for you.
Since you are a german guy, you can check/read this:

Its an atheros card like I have in my Tecra 9100. So, I had many many problems with intel card since they require a full working centrino
platform to work and so most of these cards need a "hardware" switch (in your case a button) to work.
With the atheros card you dont have these problems with switch/button since they are working anytime without need of switches or buttons.
The disadvantage is that you cannot disable the card for power saving purposes.
So I hope I could help you. Would appreciate some feedback. :)
Nice weekend.

Where can I purchase a Satellite 3000-514 motherboard?

I need to replace the system board (?), motherboard (?) on my Toshiba Satellite S3000-514.
Question: Where can I go to purchase the motherboard?
Question 2: How much in sterling can I expect to pay?
Thank you.

Hi
I found this website with the motherboard for a Satellite 3000 series but it seems that the Satellite 3000-514 is not listed.
http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/Toshiba,Laptop,Part,K000816560.aspx
Im not 100% sure but I think the 3000 series was delivered with the same motherboard.
But before buying anything you should ask the Toshiba authorized service partner for a details. The guys should be able to order also a compatible board directly from the Toshiba.
I think you are on the safe side if you ask the service provider for the opinion.
But as you can see the motherboard is expensive and possibly you could find a second hand board.

Satellite 3000-514: Need FL inverter part number

Hi,
I am looking for an inverter for my toshiba satellite 3000-514, because my display is almost dark. Does anybody know where I can buy/order it or what the product number is?
Thx
arne

Hi
Well, a friend of mine has ordered some parts from the Toshiba service partner.
I assume you can also order the FL inverter from the ASP in you country.
As far as I can remember the FL inverter is not very expensive. But do you know how to change it?? Do you have enough experience to replace it??
I think its a very risky procedure because the whole screen must be removed. And you know; the screen is a one of the most expensive parts on the notebook.
I think if you dont be any technician so ask someone who has more experience in such reparation procedures. The best way is to ask the service guys.

Max HDD Size for Satellite 3000 -514 with BIOS 2.30

Hi folks !
What is the largest HD size notebook recognizes with BIOS 2.30.
I found no FAQ information ragarding this BIOS version.
Thx for your help.

Hi
The Satellite 3000-514 supports the HDD sizes up to 30GB.
You need a HDD 2.5", 9.5mm support bus master IDE, Ultra 33/66 synchronous DMA
Bigger HDD sizes are not supported and I suppose the BIOS will not recognize it.

How to replace CMOS battery on Satellite A30-504?

i have big problems with my satellite A30-504...it does'nt see the HDD on boot, my only solution so far was to press the power button for many times.
My HDD is ok so i think the problem is with the cmos battery but i dont know how to find out what type it is and how to replace it.
(ps. sorry my english, i'm not an english speaker)

Hi Adrian
CMOS battery is always placed an awkward position and to exchange the battery the unit must be disassembled. If you didnt done this before please dont do this alone. A small mistake and you can damage plastic cover of the unit.
I recommend you to contact service and let them do this for you. It costs a little bit but you will be sure it will be done on professional way. When the unit is disassembled it can also be cleaned from the dust.
Back to HDD: how you know HDD is not defective?

Old Satellite 3000-514 - Problems Opening/Energy

Hey there!
Thanks for the possibility to get support first off! :)
I got an old laptop here, a S3000-514, with a pentium III, it looks a bit like the Satellite 1200.
I tried to disasseble it with this guide for the 1200, to clean it up in the first place:
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-1200/take-apart-laptop-1.htm
1) *Solved*
I still can't find a manual online for this laptop. (which i dont really need now anymore)
2) The second problem I have is, that, as i have read other users get as well, when I start the book up with the battery pack, it still empties the battery pack and turn off then.
When removing the battery pack, I can start the book up with the "!"-Button. It doesnt work with the normal power-button. But the book then randomly turns off after 20 seconds to 5 minutes.
I appreciate any input!
Thanks in advance.
Greetings

Hi
Regarding the first question about the manual;
If you are looking the user manual then you can download it from the Toshiba support homepage. But you will not find any disassemble manuals on the Toshiba page because such docs are not for public usage!!!
Regarding the question about battery;
As I understood your message youve got some problems with the battery charging.
I dont know how old you battery is but fact is that after a longer period of time the battery loses the performance and finally it must be replaced.
My battery is about 5 years old and I can use it only for about 30sec-1min. Then the battery is empty and the notebook shuts down
Hope this helps a little bit

How to replace broken monitor on Satellite M40X-251?

Hi guys !
This laptop fell from a desk and the monitor is completely messed up. Nothing else seems to have been damaged and it still works fine on an external monitor. I'm looking for a replacement monitor and instructions on how to replace it.
How much would a Toshiba 15.4'' widescreen TFT 1200*800 monitor cost and where could I get it?
I can't seem to find a manual explaining how to dismantle a Toshiba M40X laptop in order to replace the monitor. Could someone give me a link to such service manual or guide me through the process?
Thx in advance !

Found these instructions, I believe they would work for a M40X but if anyone can confirm :
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM35X/Satellite-M35X-display-1.htm
And the resolution is 1280*800 not 1200*800, little mistake.

Replacement of rubber feet on Satellite 3000-X11

Hi
Does anyone know where I can get 2 replacement rubber feet for the underside of a Satellite 3000-X11? I have spent ages looking around the Toshiba site but nothing useful coming up.
Thanks in advance
Jon

Hi
Just to let you know, I phoned the Toshiba Authorised Service Partner. I called them and although they did not have any in stock, have ordered a pack of 4 which I should get in a few weeks. Minimum order of about 15 though!!

Satellite Z830 - how to replace broken Screen?

A careless family member has succeeded in cracking the screen of a fairly new Toshiba z830. It's broken quite badly, so I doubt it will be reparable.
I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the best way to go about getting a replacement, bonus points for any information in the Melbourne area.
Thank you

I'd rather not pay the $459 or 459 or whatever to get the screen fixed by Toshiba. I've had 20 laptops before, I never cracked a screen like this so easily. I didn't drop the laptop nor bump it nor squeeze it, I just transported it in my hand baggage on the airplane as I always do with many previous laptops, the Z830 screen is too fragile. I really like the screen, I like its matte finish, I like the thin and light magnesium form factor of the laptop, and swobbly screen does not bother me, except the design is just much too fragile, the glass surface of the LCD is not protected as it must be. I'm the one who video-blogged this interview with a Toshiba representative about that nice design afterall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Cq07Ee89o
Since I don't want to pay the $500 repair fee, and since I guess Toshiba never replaces a cracked screen under warranty? I need to know if it'll work if I buy this screen: http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/toshiba/PORTEGE~Z830-S8302/ and I need to know exactly what screw driver I need and if there is a YouTube video and/or tutorial with detailed images and explanations so that I can hopefully safely make the screen replacement myself. And thus so that I can do it for about $100 myself instead of paying Toshiba $500 to make it.
I guess it'd be best if Toshiba actually sold that screen and the necessary screw driver to DIY change a broken screen (loose warranty is ok then), does Toshiba sell the screen replacement and screw driver for Z830/Z835?
I also tried http://screensurgeons.com/ and http://youtube.com/ScreenSurgeons/ but they don't seem to have made a video showing how to replace the Z830/Z835 screen yet.
If you look at the comments on this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMH0r76zdt0 about the Z830/Z835 teardown (only to replace RAM or SSD), there are several comments from users who also cracked their Z830/Z835 screen but I can't seem to find on YouTube a video showing how to replace the screen yet.
Thanks for your help. I'd like to buy that screen replacement soon, I need this laptop screen fixed before I go on a travel on October 11th.

How to replace CD/DVD-Rom on Satellite Pro 2100

Hello,
My dvd-rom drive in the laptop is old and broken, now I have here a another dvd-rom drive but I don't know how to remove the old dvd-rom without removing all parts of my laptop. Is there some service manual how to replace the dvd-rom drive?

Hi
Im not 100% sure about the CD/DVD drive replacement on this notebook but I assume the procedure is very similar to another notebooks drives.
Mostly the ODD is secured with the one screw at the bottom of the unit.
You will have to remove this screw to pull out and to swap the drive.
But be careful and dont do it if you have no experience!!!
By the way, not all drives are compatible and supported because of the master/slave/c-sel settings. If you dont know what drives are compatible you should ask the ASP in your country for a advice!!!

Satellite 3000 screen vertical line problem

my laptop is Satellite 3000 , it got vertical line problem now, i wanna use a outside CRT screen to replace the current damaged LED screen.
I have tried to use FN-F5 swap key, but it is still doesn't work, i tried to log in the system to check it, (the system (windows xp) is normal), but i can't see anything because the screen is black, it won't get in the system even if i connected it in to the LAN, because the laptop network function configuration is not allow connect with internet,( i did ghost before it completely damaged), the question is :
1, do i need to configure something so as to it can use outside screen in windows XP system? or just use FN-F5 swap key?
2, how will i do next step if i wanna use the outside screen ?
thx a lot

Hello
If the notebook is preinstalled with all Toshiba designed tools and utilities FN+F5 key combination should work. Of course the external monitor should be connected properly.
If you are missing some tools FN+F5 key combination will not work.
What I want to know is what happens exactly when you use FN+F5 key combination? Stays the LCD screen black or switch to the right picture again? As far as I know if you use FN+F5 key combination and LCD on the notebook stays black that means the signal is send to external device but if the monitor is not connected properly or there is some contact problem you will not see the content on external monitor.
Believe me it is not easy to say what is wrong there but if possible try to test it with different monitors. Satellite 3000 is pretty old notebook model and maybe is RGB port defective.
