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.

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 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.

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

Hi
Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
Finally use this disk for booting.

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Marcin.

Hi,
I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

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 WIn7 64bit drivers for Satellite L300-AA2

I have windows vista on this pc and i want switch to windows 7 64 bit .
I would to know where to get the right drivers for this machine , will the new windows 7 pick it up , this will be a fresh install.
Toshiba Satellite laptop
L300-AA2
Model PSLB8C - AA201X

Hi
The Satellite L300-AA2 PSLB8C seems to be an Toshiba Canadian series.
But the drivers for Win 7 32bit could be also downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page.
The Satellite L300 PSLB8E is an European series and the same like the Canadian model PSLB8C.

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?

What is right Recovery CD for Satellite L300?

I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had Windows 7 operating system but the Recovery CDs had Windows XP.
And my hard disk was single partition and Microsoft office was not working on this notebook and I used that CD to fix these problems.
But I lost my previous Windows 7.
Now it is Windows Xp SP 3 on my computer.
But I am not satisfied with XP want Windows 7.
How can i get it again for free?
Please let me know that what is right Recovery CD for "Toshiba Satellite L300". ?

>I recently bought "Toshiba Satellite L300" which had Windows 7 operating system but the Recovery CDs had Windows XP.
Hmm this is strange I have no clue what Satellite L300 this is but usually an L300 series was preinstalled with Vista Home Premium
So Im wondering why Win 7 was preinstalled and why you get Win XP recovery disk
Usually the L300 should be equipped with an HDD recovery partition which would contain the Toshiba image.
It should be able to recover the new notebook using the HDD recovery and this should help you reinstall the Vista OS.
In my opinion you should talk with your dealer maybe the notebook was a replacement device????
Who knows

Help needed with system recovery Satellite L300-149

Hi
We have a Satellite L300-149.
Was running really slowly so wanted to reset it to factory settings.
Did the 'press F12 when starting, put disk in' etc etc BUT have a horrible feeling that I put a disk in that actually belonged to a different Toshiba we used to use a U300.
The 'give away' was that the user manual for the U300 is now on the desktop on the Satellite :-/
I hoped that this wouldn't be a major problem BUT the F8 key has now disappeared making it impossible to connect to the internet.
I looked online and read that the L300 sometimes doesn't come with a disk as the info is kept on a separate part of the hard drive so hoped I could reset it back to factory settings again but when I click F2 on start up and go to the option to restore it, noting happens.
Can anyone please help??????

Hi
Forget the HDD recovery now
You have recovered the system using another disk and this has deleted the HDD recovery image files. So this option is NOT possible!
You are right the L300 and all other notebooks are not delivered with Recovery disks.
The recovery disk has to be created using the preinstalled software called Recovery Disk Creator. But this is also NOT possible because you removed the preinstalled system and the files which are needed for such recovery disk are not available anymore!
But if everything work properly except of the WLan FN + F8 key, then I would recommend to install only the Wlan driver. I think the key does not work because the right WLan driver is not installed.
I think the Satellite L300-149 supports the Wlan Realtek RTL8187B chip.
So install the right Wlan driver which you can find here:
