Processor Upgrade Toshiba Satellite p755-5270

Hi all! As per the title, I would like to upgrade my CPU to a newer version. I have had an i7 processer in mind, but am generally unsure of whether it can be replaced and what processor i can run without any issues with my laptop. In general, i will not be installing but will have a shop do it.
With this in mind, i am assuming though, that the list from this site;
http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel_%28chipsets%29/HM65_Express.html
Contains processors that i can use, even though its a list saved for the 5272 version. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone?

Hard Disk issue with Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390

Well, I'm at my wit's end on this one so after several months of searching for an answer I'm presenting this one to my fellow Toshiba users.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P755 that I purchased around March of 2012 so it is well out of warranty unfortunately. I'm having an odd issue that could just be a faulty hard drive but I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas that might lead this to be a recurring issue with other Toshibas.
The first symptoms my laptop experienced were the computer locking up and the hard drive light staying lit constantly. This first happened right after I was using WIn 7 disk management to shrink the main partition so I could create a second partition. The exact step this happened at was when I had already shrunk the main partition and had just finished creating the second partition. It hadn't even refreshed the disk management screen when it just locked up completely.
I left it locked up for almost a half hour and then did a forced shutdown and when it came back up it was really slow and the hard drive light was staying lit constantly. Eventually it wouldn't even start up and the drive light still stayed on constantly (not even blinking, just solid on).
My first thought was obviously hard disk failure so I grabbed a spare that should have worked perfectly as it was just harvested from a perfectly fine little netbook. I popped the drive in and reinstalled Win 7 and it worked fine...for a few weeks. Then it did the exact same thing except this time it eventually just wouldn't recognize any boot media. I cursed my bad luck in having two failed hard drives and used an older one that I had spare that, as I recall, worked fine when I harvested it from the old laptop it came out of. It worked again...for a couple of days. Then it did the same thing as the first (hard drive light staying lit, not responding hardly at all). I even hooked all these little laptop hard drives up to my file servers SATA ports and they loaded fine and I was able to back stuff up.
My dilemma here is that I know it could just be that I was using old hard drives and maybe by some chance they all failed because they were old but I'd hate to buy a new hard drive if that's not the problem.
Has anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas? I even tried testing the RAM and even removing one module at a time. I also tried pulling the battery and running it straight from the charger thinking maybe it was shorting something out.
As an additional note. One interesting thing that happened after the third drive went bad was that I plugged in the original hard drive thinking I could further troubleshoot and it worked perfectly fine for about a month. It then proceeded to do the same thing again. That's about where I am now. The only other thing I did was yesterday when I pulled the battery and tried it. It did respond very well for at least long enough to almost finish the reinstall to factory partitions but it failed at the last minute and rebooted. It then loaded the Windows startup screen and locked up with the hard drive light staying lit solid.
Sorry for the novel but I wanted to make sure all my troubleshooting steps were documented so no one suggested those. My last step is to pop in another used drive and install Ubuntu and see what happens then.
Solved!

How did you reinstall Win 7 on the replacement drive? Did you use the the Toshiba Recovery Disks you should have created as per the directions on page 74 of your User's Guide, following the recovery directions on page 76, and return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup? What happens if you return your unit to its factory default set up? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have a hardware problem/failure, as opposed to a driver-software-conflict problem.
You seem quite familiar with Windows Disk Management software, yet you don't mention running the built in disk 'Error-checking' utility.
If you believe you may be suffering from some kind of hard drive problems, this would seem a logical step. You can access this utility by clicking on 'Start' -> click on 'Computer' -> right click on 'C:' drive -> click on 'Properties' -> click on the 'Tools' tab -> under 'Error-checking' click the 'Check now...' button -> put check marks on both the 'Automatically fix....' and 'Scan for...' options -> click the 'Start' button. The utility will inform you it can't be run now and ask if you want to schedule for the next restart, agree and restart your computer. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the problems the utility may encounter this could take from 20 minutes to several hours.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Upgrading Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 hard drive

Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10. It is an old laptop, but rather than change it, I would like to install a new hard drive. I have previously put in new RAM to this laptop, but I know the Hard drive change is more complex, so I need as much help as I can get
The laptop is running well, but the 20GB HDD is obviously too small. I have an external USB hard drive for multimedia stuff etc, but the main HDD, even with just the Windows XP and other software on it is always near to the 20GB and the time has come to change
I know I can handle the 'hardware' changeover without much problem. I am intending to get a USB enclosure to allow a clone of the old drive to be copied to the new one, so that when I do install it, the only difference to the laptop will be the larger storage capacity on the internal HDD
I have read extensively about the variety of issues and I am still quite confused. The main issues for me seem to be
-Whether the BIOS affects the type of internal HDD I can install
-I am fairly sure the interface I need is ATA-100/IDE. So does this mean I cannot use SATA?
-What size of HDD can I install? Is there a limit?
-Does the current internal HDD have partitions? I am not sure? It is the same as it was when I bought it, so would Toshiba have put a partition on it containing OS or software? I don't know. I have 'recovery discs' but no Specific windows disc, as one did not come with the laptop. So considering this, how do I go about 'cloning' the old drive onto the new, and then installing it 'seamlessly'?
-Do I need specific software for a 'clone'? Otherwise, how do I do it?
-What do I need to look for in a HDD, when buying? Some sellers seem to see potential issues to do with the capacity, others do not. Im confused
So, as I say, all I want, is to get a larger internal HDD and install it without problems. Im willing to do the work involved, but only when Im confident I have all the necessary information and 'boxes ticked'. Otherwise I fear it may be a disaster.
I am not able to afford to buy a new laptop, so all help is very much appreciated
All advice welcome. Also, if you have any questions just ask
Thanks in advance
Jason

Can you provide the COMPLETE model number and the part number for that model? I don't want to give you any incorrect information. The part number would look like this. PSA10U-3V1JG8
But based on what you have stated so far I would say you need an EIDE or ATA hard drive. Due to bios limitations that I am 95% certain will be in place with your model you will be limited to a 120GB or smaller 9.5mm thick 2.5" ATA/EIDE hard drive. I recommend Western Digital Scorpio BLue drives for their combination of price, performance, and reliability.
Once you post the model and part number I can verify this so you can order the correct drive for you system.
Western Digital has a free version of Acronis True Image that you can download that you can use to clone your old drive to your new drive if you purchase a WD drive.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Processor upgrade on Satellite L300-1BV

I've already upgraded the laptop from a T1600 (Celeron), to a T3200 (Pentium Dual Core). But does anyone know how far I can upgrade in the 478 P range of processors?
If so, could you supply the processor numbers?

Its a Satellite L300-1BV and NOT Satellite L300D-1BV
This is big difference!
However, the Intel GL40 Express chipset supports these CPUs:

Processor upgrade on Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

Hi,
Does anyone know whether the L30 (PSL33E) supports core 2 duo?
And if so, has anyone tried it?
(also, have noticed that newest bios for these online is v2.60 and mine is v2.80 from new)

Hi,
No I dont think it is possible because of the chipset. The chipset could not handle the new cpu. The other thing is:
How do you want to install it? Do you know the instructions how to exchange the cpu in a mobile system? Its not the same procedure like in a desktop.
I did once and I had many problems, especially with that "microcode" thing, because you will need a special DOS-based program which writes the microcode of the cpu into the bios due to the features of the cpu.
This program is only available to toshiba technicians and I didnt get managed to get a copy of that program.
So just forget your idea and benefit from my experience (and dont waste money and time :) )

Processor upgrade on Satellite L30

Can I replace my Intel celeron with a full Intel pentium for my laptop Satellite L30-105? As it's so slow I've only had it since Feb 2007, plus half my hard disk has vanished also?

You can use Pentium M CPU, because the difference between Celeron M and Pentium M is the cache size, and Celeron M doesn't uses SpeedStep technology, but the FSB and the Socket are the same.

Bios Recovery for Toshiba satellite P755

Hello I just try to update the bios thanks to a program from Toshiba in my laptop and after the process my windows 7 won't work not even charge the window it freeze and that's all, I try to restore to a factory state but still nothing the only thing I can think right now is try to downgrade The BIOS or recover it to be honest I really don't understand why Toshiba have this kind of updates than may damage seriously the laptop specially if they know that you can have a sensitive info in your hard drive any way if anyone can give a hand with this I will appreciate. Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to an online post I was able to recover from an unstartable situation. And no help from Toshiba on the problem that they started.
Here is the fix that worked for me:
"The workaround I have found is to change the Boot speed setting in Bios to "normal" instead of the default "fast"
To get to the System BIOS
Press and hold the F2 button, then power on the Unit. That should bring up the BIOS, from there you should see a setting under the Advanced tab called boot speed, just set it to normal and you should be able to load windows normally.

Blue screen on Satellite P755-10c

My laptop toshiba satellite p755-10c was restarted and covered many times this week with a blue screen of death! Does anyone know what is the problem?

Hi
BSOD can be cause by hardware problem or serious software issue.
I think you should firstly recover the notebook using the Toshiba HDD recovery or the Recover disk which you have created as described in user manual.
If the BSOD would still appears, try to update the display driver and BIOS (if newer version is available)
Of course the BSOD could appear also if the RAM starts to malfunctions or if the internal temperature increases to a higher level and affects the internal parts.

Memory upgrade on Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL

I bought the Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL from argos yesterday. It came with 4GB of RAM. I want to upgrade it to 8GB. Can anybody help with upgrading process. Also will upgrading the RAM void the warranty.
Regards
SD

Im not L50-B owner but I guess there is no separate access to the memory modules at the bottom of the unit.
Right?
In such case its necessary to remove the bottom plastic cover and this will definitely void the warranty!!!
If you want to keep the warranty valid, dont upgrade the RAM by yourself.
This must be done by authorized service engineer.

Toshiba Satellite P870 upgraded to Win 8.1 does not boot

I have a Toshiba Satellite P870 with Win 8 preinstalled. Soon after upgrade to Win 8.1 and basically successful removal of “watermark error” (secure boot activated) the machine stopped booting completely: after pressing the power button ventilator sound
is heard with periodically changing loudness as well as clicking sound from the speakers. The screen stays black. Attempts to start the PC through pressing F2 or zero buttons did not produce any result. Neither did I succeed with recovery discs I created before:
the system simply does not boot from the disk. It looks like I tried all options offered by Microsoft and Toshiba. I would be happy to roll back to factory settings.
Could someone give me hint what to do next?

Hi,
For the issue, let us know how to remove the “watermark error".
Meanwhile, I would like to confirm if you could access the BIOS.
I suggest you update the BIOS version to test it.
If you want to repair the startup issue, you should use windows 8.1 recovery discs or installation discs.
Meanwhile, if you cannot access the BIOS, it may be caused by hardware, I suggest you contact the Toshiba manufacturer for further help.

Toshiba Satellite: upgrade to Advanced Format hard drive?

Hi! I have a Toshiba Satellite. My hard drive is on the fritz, so I want to upgrade the hard drive. I called Toshiba support and asked what kind of hard drives I could use. They said "Any hard drive that isn't Advanced Format".
So I buy a new hard drive (that has no mention of being Advanced Format). It arrives, and (surprise) it says "Advanced Format" on the drive itself.
My question: is it okay to use Advanced Format drives on a Satellite? I know I'll probably have to update the BIOS, but beyond that, is there anything special about a Satellite that would cause it to have problems?

Toshiba's tech support is correct in the case when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. It's likely you will have the sort of problems I have described in this message.

Blue screen of death after ram upgrade on a Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop

I ordered an upgrade for a Toshiba Satellite C655(PSC08U-02D037) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. I've trying for a month to get this to work consistently. When I first installed it, it worked fine for the first few days, but then after that I kept getting an error that would pop up "Display has Stopped Responding And Recovered" and the screen would flicker turn to black for a second. It didn't happen a lot at first, but then it got progressively worse to the point that it would crash my browsers, and sometimes when I tried to play certain videos, I would get the blue screen of death, and then the computer would have to restart.
I updated my bios, graphics drivers, I checked to see if maybe I failed to install it properly and reinstalled it, no avail. Finally I just took the ram out, and then I stopped having these issues. Which leads me to believe that it may have something to do with the memory upgrade. I ran the scanner as suggested when I was looking to upgrade, and what was recommended was a ( System 2gb DDR3-1600 Sodimm 1.35v CL11 ) ram stick part number CT6316802, which is the one I ended up ordering. I'm not sure what else to do but assume that what I ordered is either defective or just doesn't work with my laptop.

Hi jinjoe,
I am sorry for the issues you are experiencing with your upgrade. How is this memory installed? Is it just one module or did you purchase two? Did you install it with any exisitng RAM? If you have two modules have you tried installing one module at a time? This would help us determine if the issue is with one defective memory module or both causing the issue.

CPU upgrade on Satellite A60

Hello, i want to upgrade the cpu on my Satellite A60 celeron d345, what kind of processors are supported?
Thanks

Hi
I can not give you any informations about the CPU prices because it depends on the computer dealer.
Mostly the online dealers are much cheaper. So simply use a search-and-compare prices engine in the net.
Now something about the motherboard compatibility:
The Toshiba Satellite A60 is a full size notebook PC based on the Intel Portability P4 processor, providing high-speed processing capabilities and advanced features.
In my knowledge the motherboard should be ale to handle the Intel P4 (Northwood), P4 (Prescott) and Celeron (Northwood) CPUs.
- P4 (Northwood) 2.66/2.8/3.06/3.2 GHz
- P4 (Prescott) 518(2.8 GHz)/532(3.06 GHz)/538(3.2 GHz)/552(3.46 GHz)/558(3.60 GHz)
- Celeron (Northwood) 2.5/2.6/2.7/2.8 GHz
- Celeron (Prescott) 325(2.53 GHz) / 330 (2.66 GHz) / 335(2.8 GHz) 340 (2.93G) / 345 (3.066 GHz) / 350(3.2 GHz)
But note; everything what you do is at your own risk!!

CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
Product Type: Notebook
Family: Satellite
Product Series: Satellite L Series
Model: ? unknown
Short Model No: ? unknown
I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
Sincerely,
Gourcuff

Hello
In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
