Question about USB Expansion for Satellite L30-105

Hello,
Just ordered a L30-105, but have noticed that it only has 2 USB ports. Is it possible to expand this via an expansion card (or any other solution!)?
Seeing as I have broadband via USB, an optical mouse, 2 printers, an external HD (for music - photos etc) and a photo card reader, looks like i may have wasted a decent amount of money buying the L30-105.
Cheers in advance!

HI Daniel,
Unfortunately, the only way in which you can add extra USB ports is to use a powered hub of some sort to increase the number of available USB ports. Using a powered hub will ensure that your USB devices all receive sufficient electrical power to function correctly.
You could also consider a PCMCIA adapter card which will provide a further two USB ports but this will obviously prevent you from using your PC slot for any other purpose. I use just such a card on my A30 from time to time.
regards,

  • Display Driver Update for Satellite L30-105

    Could anyone give me an idiots guide on how to update a display driver for my Satellite L30-105 ( PSL33E ) PLEASE?

    LOL. You need a idiot guide?? Come on man ;)
    Ok, here is my guide;
    Download the graphic driver for your notebook model.
    Unzip the package.
    Then access the device manager, mark the graphic card, update driver.
    Then a new window will open.
    There you have to use the second Advanced option.
    Then choose the option called Dont search. I will chose the driver (or something like that)
    Then point to the place where the driver package has been stored on the HDD and finish the installation.

  • I need XP chipset or SM conroller bus driver for Satellite L30-105

    Hello , help me pls find a driver for my nb.
    I buy this Nb with vista & setup XP L30-105 (Chipset or SM conroller bus)

    Hi
    The notebook L30-105 belongs to the PSL3E series and has been equipped with the ATI graphic chip.
    The chipset driver is a part of the graphic driver and therefore you will not find an special chipset driver.
    The Toshiba European driver page provides all necessary and needed drivers. Check this page. Other drivers are NOT available and not needed

  • Re: Question about RAM expansion on Satellite M60

    *RAM extention*:
    What kind of memory should I buy if I want to extend it from 512MB to *2GB* or more for
    *Satellite M60*-182 under Windows XP Home Editon with Service Pack 2
    I mean: frequency, symbol, producer etc. to work properly?

    Hi,
    your machine can be upgraded to a maximum main memory capacity of 2GB, which means:
    to expand the memory to the maximum limit what the machine is able to, you must put 2x 1GB DDR2 S0DIMM modules with a frequency of 533Mhz in both slots of your machine.
    I would suggest you the following brands: Toshiba, Kingston, OCZ

  • Question about CPU upgrade for Satellite A30-104?

    Hello,
    My Satellite A30-104 has recently come to the end of its warranty, and having had to open up the heatsink for cleaning and seeing that the CPU was accessible, I wonder if there is any (likely) scope for upgrading it.
    The processor is a Celeron (Northwood) 2.6GHz. I'm not looking for more grunt, I'd prefer a lower-power chip, though the much larger L2 cache of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I'd be very grateful if anyone could advise whether any upgrades are likely available, and if so which chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful spec information, please ask.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the reply -- and sorry it went ignored so long, it turns out I hadn't configured my email watches correctly :(
    I appreciate that it's really a job for a technician, and I don't want to brick a perfectly good computer, but I think its EOL is not far off anyway so I'm prepared to be a little more invasive than before.
    I know that I can get at the CPU, and I know the basic precautions for physically tampering with PC internals.
    What I'm first of all concerned about is this: if I replace the CPU, and it doesn't function with the laptop, can this damage other parts of the system such that it'd no longer work by replacing the original?
    The Celeron puts out a great deal of heat (all the time) but isn't it fair to assume that a P4-M will be less hot?

  • Question about memory expansion on Satellite A80-117

    I have a question regarding the memory compatibility.
    (The A8-117 is a 1.6 GHz Centrino (Pentuin M processor 730) with 533 MHz FSB, and 2 MB of 2nd level cache, Intel® 915GM Express chipset)
    At the moment i have 1 chip of 512MB (333MHz, CL 2.5) installed. I plan to upgrade to 1.5 or 2GB. So what bothers me is: can I install a 533MHz DDR2 modules on this laptop (in that case the old 333MHz one goes out)?
    At the official Toshiba site only 333MHz DDR are provided, while the 915GM express chipset allowes it.
    If 533 is not possible i guess i'll just buy additional 1GB of 333MHz DDR.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello
    At first I want to say that is always recommended to use compatible and tested RAM modules. On this way you will be sure it will work well and without any problems.
    According the notebook specification you can upgrade RAM to 2GB max and compatible modules are: PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51) and PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G).
    You can use faster RAM modules but for me it is really not necessary. The notebook specification is 333MHz bus speed and faster modules will not help that notebook runs faster. It is better to buy 2 x PA3313U-2M1G and you will have no problem and notebook will runs much much faster than before.

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) - BIOS downgrade succesfull

    Hi all,
    first of all sorry for my english,
    I'm the owner of Toshiba Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) bought in Italy. I was not stisfied of Bios update v3.10 and I've searched for older bios version but on european support server, all older bios (2.6 -3.0 etc) was disappeared.
    Reading this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=120416 I've read about using the US bios files for downgrading the bios like suggested from user Anhchuong.
    A lot of us was sceptic about use US bios on EU laptop.
    After a lot of time, and after knowing that US L35-S2366 (PSL33U) have exactly the same spec of mine (except mine have 1024b ram instead of 512), I've decided use v 3.0 bios version for upgrade my bios. ALL WORKED!!!
    At this time I'm writing from my lappy and I can confirm that CPU temp is degree 6-7°.
    Hope this help someone else.

    Thanks for your posting. It is very useful info.

  • Trouble with Benq DC C 700 digital camera on Satellite L30 105

    Hello
    I'm having trouble with my digital camera when I connect it to my laptop. Every time I connect the camera the laptop freezes and gives me the blue screen of death, that is, the screen you get when a fatal error occurs, and then my laptop has to be rebooted. So this happens each and every time I connect the two.
    I've tried updating the bios and installing the latest drives but nothing seemed to work. I've contacted the support center at Benq and they told me to contact Toshiba as they are pretty sure the problem is not with the camera. So please anyone, if you have any ideas and or suggestions/solutions I'll be glad to hear them out.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    First of all if you need the Toshiba support you have to contact the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. This forum here is only a user-to-user forum and you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
    Secondly;
    It seems the Satellite L30-105 was delivered with Vista. Do you use this OS on the L30?
    I have read about many issues with the 3rd party devices, software and Windows Vista.
    I dont know what the guys told you but possibly the webcam software is not 100% compatible with Vista.
    You should know that the BSOD appears if there is a serious software or hardware problem. I dont think that this issue was caused by a hardware problem and therefore there is only one possibility; software compatibility issue.
    In you case I would update the Vista to the latest state and would ask the webcam manufacture if its 100% compatible with Vista.
    Good luck

  • Windows vitual PC / XPM on Satellite L30-105

    Hello,
    I'm running Windows 7 on my Satellite L30-105. And it's running very well.
    Right now I would like to install Windows Virtual PC to run Windows XP Virtual Mode. But the laptophardware does not support
    a vitual pc. Is there any solution for this problem?
    Thanks anyways.
    Ciao
    Guido

    Hi
    Sorry mate, I have not good news for you but there is no solution for this problem.
    The point is that Virtualization must be supported from the hardware (CPU, mainboard, chipset) and BIOS too. That means you cant something to use Virtualization.
    The only option is buying a new notebook. ;)

  • Re: Satellite L30-105 Vista - Power Calibration Error - need new firmware

    Hey there guys =)
    Ive got a Satellite L30-105 running a 32-bit Vista. And even if i try several different burning softwares (Imageburn, Nero), and with TDK-cds, I get a error from the burning softwares, saying "POwer Callibration Error".
    The Satellite L30-105 (Article number PSL33E-02S026N5), uses a cd/dvd burner called MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ-850S
    I am wondering, can i download and install new drivers for my dvd-drive???
    i am also gonna try to buy this "cleaning-cd", to try to clean the lense. cause i bought the laptop in 2007... so its like grandma..
    But do u guys have any other what might be wrong?? Is it expensive to get a new cd/dvd-drive for this laptop???
    Cheers and thank u!

    Hi
    Power calibration error means that the ODD laser lens cannot calibrate in the right position.
    Usually this has nothing to do with an drive firmware but with the hardware problem.
    In most cases the CD/DVD drive must be replaced.
    Im not sure how much an new CD/DVD drive could be but fact is that you cannot use any CD/DVD drive
    You need an compatible one and such compatible and supported drive could be ordered from an local ASP.

  • Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

    Hi
    I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
    Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hi
    The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
    The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
    Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
    There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
    Its necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    1. Click on the start menu.
    2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
    3. search the registry key mentioned above.
    4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
    5. Restart Windows.
    6. Let me know if this works.

  • Questions about Feature Licenses for 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900, 3900 series ISRs

    Hey all,
    I have a question about feature licensing for Cisco ISR 1800, 2800, 3800, 2900 series. I know there are differences between all of the series. My main question which applies for all the Cisco ISR series is this:
    "If I want to upgrade the IOS to a newer version and upgrade from the basic feature set, do I need to get a license from Cisco? "
    If yes:
    And if so, how do I go about purchasing a license? Is a support contract needed?
    Again, I need to know for each Cisco ISR series. I'd appreciate any help on this. 
    Thanks,
    John

    You probably want to reach your SE/AM about this so they can explain you exactly how this works, maybe some sales material, or you can also reach pre-sales.

  • USB slot of Satellite L30 shuts down Windows when in use

    I recently bought a Satellite L30 (psl33E) for my wife, and all seemed to go well. That was until she needed more usb ports for her stuff, and used the port on the left hand side of the machine (as opposed to the one always used, at the back.) As soon as she tried to use this particular port, the box shut dow, and has done so ever since.
    Could someone please tell me how to repair this, as it's only a few weeks old, and I'd rather not have to take it back to the store where it was bought.
    Hoping for a miracle.
    TIA.
    JimmyMack.

    Hi,
    sounds really like a serious hardware issue. I assume that the USB port cannot deliver enough power when the other ports are in use.
    If I were you I would bring the machine back or contact the nearest available service partner in your country and let them fix that problem.
    Heres a link to find the nearest available ASP in your country: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871

  • Where can I find a service manual for Satellite L30?

    Hi guys
    Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a service manual / engineers guide for a Satellite L30?? I have a broken hinge on my laptop and Toshiba were very helpful in helping me find replacement parts - via Topaz. They were also a bargain at only 8.00 + postage for a pair of them. However......when I enquired about 'how to fit them?' they both became rather 'un-helpful'!!!!
    And I really don't feel like paying PC World the 219.00 they quoted to fit them!!!
    I have no fear of opening and playing around with the insides, but any help or 'pointers' would be gratefully appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance :-)
