Hi Guys,
Thanks for the helpful info,I'm gonna order a Western Digital 320GB Scorpio blue Hard Drive 2.5" Sata11 5400rpm 8MB Cash.
Also looked on Ebay and seen a caddy so will probably pick it up,15 for a wee piece of tin but it has to be got.
I will be installing Windows 7 Prem 64 bit as I bought a copy so I will need all the drivers from Toshiba.Can anyone please tell me if these have to be installed in any order,or is there a package for Windows 7 seeing as the Laptop used to run Vista and this will be a clean install.
Thanks guys for the help so far and hope to hear from you soon.

  • Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

    Hey,
    the HDD in my Toshiba Satellite laptop isn't working anymore.
    So I'm going to buy a new one today but which one do i need? Like how many inch? And is it a SATA connection or something?
    Could someone please tell me to what i have to look when I buy a new HDD for this laptop

    Hello Vivendi
    One thing is strange to me: I presume that your L300 notebook is pretty new one and I don't understand why you want to buy new HDD. Is warranty still valid?
    Please check it. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized service provider and I am sure you will get replacement for free.
    If you want to buy it I also presume you want to replace it alone. So, remove the old HDD and on the white label you will find all necessary information about HDD.
    Anyway, you need 2,5 SATA HDD.

  • Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

    My son's Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0 went completely t*ts up. I think it is a common fault and requires a bios reset or something. Anyway I'm thinking a new motherboard will do the trick.
    Any help as to which motherboard to get that is compatible and would this actually help?
    Thanks.

    Hi nessie
    It is not easy to find new motherboard and believe me it is pretty expensive so you can buy new notebook.
    What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider at first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to obtain new motherboard for you.
    Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  • I want to install the new HDD for Satellite 1410-303

    Can I install the HDD MK8032GAX (80Gb Toshiba 2.5" IDE, 5400rpm, 16Mb) into my Toshiba Satellite 1410-303? Will BIOS detect it?

    Unfortunately there is no official document about that because HDD upgrade is so-called dealer option and because of that there is no precise info about HDD upgrade. According to notebook specification, this notebook model is delivered with 20GB HDD.
    I am pretty sure you can use 40 or 60 GB without any problems. About 80 GB I will not speculate but maybe someone has already tested and will post here in next few days.
    Good luck!

  • Re: Need new HDD for Satelloite A40-702

    Hiya,
    My friend has an old Toshiba A40-702 and the 40GB IDE hard drive has died. The smallest new IDE drive I can buy where I live is 160GB, does anyone know if the laptop will recognise a hard drive of this size? I have searched the web and Toshibas site but not found any definite details as the maximum hard drive size.
    Thanks

    Hi slippyjim,
    I cant imagine that 60GB HDD wouldnt work because the controller has an 28bit LBA limitation that means all HDDs up to 128GB would work and you can use the full disk space.
    So 60GB, 80GB or 120GB HDDs should work properly.
    Have a look on some online shops. There are a lot of different manufactures they produce such HDDs with IDE interface.

  • Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

    Hi
    I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
    I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
    2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
    Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
    Thanks

    Hello Pingo
    You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
    At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
    The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
    On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

  • Installing OS on a new HDD for imac with no installed HDD

    Hi all
    I am looking to buy an iMac 27", but it doesnt come with a HDD
    So I wanted to know if I buy a new HDD for it, can I install Mavericks onto it and fit it to the iMac? How would I go about doing this?
    I dont have access to another mac but I do have access to a windows machine. Can I do it from there?
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    Where are you buying an iMac 27-inch, Late 2009 model that has no internal hard disk drive?
    Having to assume it was removed by an original owner, does the computer work? Was it tested by use of an externally enclosed HDD with a correct bootable system installed?
    There are various repair and upgrade guides online, several topics among them and several are free to view or use. There likely is an iFixit guide that may cover that vintage of iMac 27-inch build year model.
    Not sure which iMac 27-inch model guide applies to your computer,
    some appear here http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel
    While considering the hard disk drive, be sure that if there are any sensors or special cables required to be in place and attached to a new replacement, they are in place and working; some users of later models found when a hard disk drive was replaced, their fans ran at high and uncontrolled speeds due to lack of sensor input. The default situation was for the computer act as though the unit was overheated. And third party fan control software to set a fan at low slower speeds does not take into account faster speeds are needed to cool iMacs. Yours may not exhibit this issue, but I am not certain either way.
    When you get it set up, with HDD and original Snow Leopard installed & updated to 10.6.8, be sure to check to see if there are any hardware or firmware updates. I see there was one listed for your model and it may already be installed...

  • Satellite L30 (PSL30A) - Need new drivers for Windows 7

    Hello I am trying to update my notebook from Windows XP to Windows 7 and need new drivers.
    My machine specs
    Satellite L30 (PSL30A-00100E)
    1.6 Celeron M
    2GB RAM
    40gb disk space
    ATI gfx card (Radeon 200m?)
    Intel chipset
    Realtek RTL8139/810x family network card
    Realtek High Definition Audio Device
    Only the gfx card, sound card and network card need new drivers
    Hopefully I can do this

    Thanks so much for the swift reply's :) I had Windows XPsp3 running very well on this old computer and was quite happy with it. I decided windows 7 being new I'd give it a go anyways, so I can go back if I have to. I am going to battle on though I think this is achievable. Found this thread on another website, I am giving this solution a go www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/35629-radeon-xpress-200m-problems.html as it sounds promising.
    Thanks for your help...... next the soundcard......lol :)

  • Need your instruction of replacing a new screen for Satellite U925T

    I wanna replace a new screen for my laptop b/c it doesn't work anymore, but i don't know how to take out its covers. Can you guys please send me a instructing video of replacing a new screen or at least a the instruction in detail?
    You can send it directly to my email: [email protected]
    Thank you

    Notebook disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document so you will be very lucky if anyone here can help you with this.
    What you need is step-by-step description how to do this. As you probably know small mistake can be responsible for hardware damage or damage on small plastic parts that have a lot of small plastic holders.
    Maybe stupid question now but why do you want to do this alone? What is with the warranty?

  • Need Vista install order for Satellite A300-1HV

    Hello, could anyone give me or point me to the Vista installation order for a A300-1HV (drivers and utils)
    Many thanks.

    I installed all drivers and apps as above, using latest versions for my particular hardware.
    Regarding the Robson Drivers for the Intel AHCI - Advanced Host Controller Interface for the SATA disk:
    With AHCI turned on in the BIOS I needed to extract Robson Package v1.5.0.1013 onto a USB key (the only version I could extract from exe), then use this when partitioning at the start of Vista install by clicking 'Load Driver' and browsing to the USB key and then the Driver folder.
    NOTE: If you don't do this and AHCI is switched on in the BIOS then the installation will hang at the 'Completing Installation' stage.
    Once Vista is installed and SP1 installed, when you install the Robson driver again from the list above you can use the latest version.
    The latest TVAP v1.1.9 did not install and came up with a 'GetProfString is Failed' error, so I installed v1.1.4 ok.
    Only one issue was the media buttons did not seem to work correctly. The following link fixed the left most 'dimmer' button and the 'media player' button. The rest, control buttons then worked as expected.
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=127192&#127192
    I installed Vista Home Premium first and then I had Vista SP1 on disk which I installed. Then rebooted after every driver and application install to make it clean as possible.
    The entire process was done without internet connection, wireless was switched on but I never connected to my LAN. All drivers and apps were loaded from a USB key following Vista SP1 installation.
    Next stage was to install AntiVirus and then connect to Internet and allow Vista to install all required updates.
    There are 3 drivers that Microsoft is offering me. The first time I tried this installation I installed these and I started to get warning messages upon my WLAN connecting, but these disappeared when I disabled my LAN device.
    I AM NOT INSTALLING THESE, I shall wait for updates from Toshiba. - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
    All functionality appears to work correctly.
    (p.s. My Vista gets a 4.0 average in the Windows Experience Index. I can't remember the exact results but obviously 4.0 was the lowest and there were a few 5.x's in there)
    Hope this may help someone.

  • System repair/ recovery for Satellite A300

    Hello,
    I m new to this forum, I ve been reading through prior posts to see if anyone has a solution to my problem but none so far.
    I ve had a failure to boot in Win XP yesterday (single OS on my system), where I get the Toshiba screen, then nothing - just a black screen. I had an update for Windows running before this happned, and before that I did perform a backup of all my files - just routine at the time. Power/battery is not a problem. I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options. Ultimately moving the CD/DVD up and even changing the setting of HDD SATA from AHC to compatibility.
    I remove the HDD and connect it to a healthy laptop via connector cable to USB. Looks perfect, no bad sectors or viruses (had an updated NIS on my Toshiba, and Kaspersky on the helper laptop). Anyway I copied my personal files off the HDD to another external HDD, as well as back up files from Toshiba HDD.
    The internal DVD/CD player had not been functional for a year or so, and I had been using an external one via USB.
    I pop in a recovery disc (which I had from Toshiba):
    a- while HDD is in its slot or the second empty slot - no change in situation
    b- while HDD is connected to Toshiba laptop via cable/USB: says Windows is loading files (so it seems to be alive) then goes to a DOS like interface where it says: 
    Waiting for ODD to become available
    ODD ready in drive D
    Checking media in drive D.....
    and just keeps waiting - nothing happens.
    I m sorry for the lengthy explanation, but I do think something had gone wrong with the XP Boot after that last update. I do have the recovery disc, but apparently that too is a no-go at this point. I would opt to try and repair XP (booting) first, but if it comes to it I will be ok formating and installing XP from the recovery disc. I m not sure if I have that option given the whole deal of using an external USB DVD player.
    help please, I ve been at this for a whole day..

    Which Satellite A300? There is a label on the bottom.
    Are you willing to purchase a replacement ODD?
    Do you have a Windows XP installation CD?
    I decided to go into boot options via F2/F12, and looked at my options.
    Is there a USB option in that boot priority list?
