Satellite A - Can I exchange the CPU?

Can you upgrade this on a laptop or is it completely impossible?
Mine is 2.0 GHz, iIcould do with it being 2.4 but I have no idea if this is even possible to do?

Hello
I dont know what Satellite A notebook you have but CPU upgrades are not supported. The point is that the mainboard and BIOS must support a faster CPU. Furthermore a faster CPU produces more heat.
I think you should read this Toshiba article and dont forget that you will lost the warranty of the notebook if you upgrade it:

  • Satellite A350 - Can I upgrade the CPU to 2.4 or 2.6Ghz

    Hey, i just purchased a A350 and i have a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz Processor but i want to upgrade to about 2.4-2.6ghz. These are my questions.
    1. Is it possible to do?
    2. Is it worth doing?
    3. I have a Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. This has confused me to do i have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.
    I have general knowledge about computers but im not a an expert. Any help would be muchly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    > 1. Is it possible to do?
    Nothing is impossible but the question is if its advisable. In my opinion its not advisable. First of all the CPU upgrade will cancel your warranty. Secondly nobody would be able to say if the notebook would run stable after such upgrade and if the BIOS would support if correctly. There is a high risk of overheating because the stringer CPU creates more heat dissipation which would lead to a higher temperature
    Last but not least you will not notice a big performance boost.
    >2. Is it worth doing?
    In my opinion its not worth. Check the point 1.
    > 3. I have a Intel Centrino sticker on the keyboard. This has confused me to do i have a Core 2 Duo or Centrino.
    Ive got a Satellite notebook equipped with CORE2 DUO T8100 (2.1GHZ) CPU and Ive got the same Intel Centrino sticker.
    The Centrino sticker means that the CPU supports this technology but it does not mean that this is Centrino CPU.
    For more details regarding Intel Centrino technology please check this Intel page:

  • Satellite M100 - I can't analyse the CPU temperature

    I'm an owner of Toshiba Satellite M100 series (Core Duo T2300, X1400, etc.). The problem is that I can't analyse the CPU temperature changes in such popular application like Everest or Notebook Hardware Control. Also any other software provided by Toshiba and already installed on my HDD doesn't include some CPU diagnostics including the temperature changes!
    The only software which seems to be working is the HWiNFO32 so there is some thermal sensor inside which reads this temperature of Centrino Duo processor, but this software is not very user-friendly :(
    There is a request for Toshiba to do something with this... I've upgraded BIOS in my model to a version 1.70 but it didn't change anything I could easily notice (or is there any?) :(

    Hi
    Like Mike said the BIOS update has nothing to do with the CPU temperature monitoring.
    The fact is that Toshiba doesnt support any 3rd party applications.
    However, all the temperature programs are not precise and dont get exactly information about the temperature. Only the programs with a physical temperature sensor will give you a exactly temperature.
    I dont understand why its so important for you to know the temperature. The Toshiba notebooks support an overheating protection and if the temperature increases to the critical level so the unit shuts down automatically.

    Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps? I bought the 16g wifi only from apple store and wants to exchange it to 16g wifi with 3g.

    You have a 14 day return period for iPad bought from the Apple store so yes, you can take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version instead.

    Thanks for your quick reply Klaus. I forgot to mention that I live in Northern Ireland but will be flying from Dublin in the Republic of Ireland so I'm not sure that this will be an issue as I don't hold an Irish passport, therefore how can they charge me their form of VAT? Maybe they can, I just don't know,

  • What is Apple's stand regarding  OWC offering to exchange the CPU in a new MacPro 2013?

    I thought to have already put this question here a short time ago.
    However I cannot find it for reasons I do not understand.
    Therefore here a second try.
    Since a couple of days OWC is offering to swap the CPU of a new ("End 2013") Mac Pro.
    They pretend their CPUs are more powerful and less expensive.
    They quote the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" which in the USA states that a manufacturer cannot force his customers to use only the replacement parts he sells.
    In their view therefore Apple could not legally void the 1 year limited coverage or the 3 year Apple Care coverage because a third party (OWC) modifies a Mac Pro.
    On the other side the only "user replaceable" part in a new MacPro End 2013 according to Apple and mentioned as such in their owners manual is RAM.
    While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
    Therefore, either Apple approves and agrees with the changes OWC makes to their new MacPros, in which case the customer will continue to enjoy full Apple support to the so modified machine, or such a step isn't at all done with Apple's blessing and voids every coverage by Apple.
    I am therefore waiting for a urgently needed clarification of this matter by Apple.
    If any such third part modification of an Apple product voids all commitments of Apple to the owner of that piece of equipment, people should be warned in time before taking any risk of that kind.
    However until now I find no statement whatsoever coming from Apple, either approving such measures or disapproving them entirely.
    Strangely OWC pretends to deliver by themselves full coverage to a modified computer and not only regarding the CPU they exchanged but the ENTIRE MacPro!
    Should that be true, then why mention the "Magnuson Moss Warranty Act" to prove that Apple CANNOT legally refuse coverage to a computer they modify?
    The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
    I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
    Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
    I believe that a clear statement of Apple regarding this matter should be made and the sooner the better!

    Apple has not made any public statement that I've seen, and won't do so here, these being user-to-user support forums.
    While OWC says that the exchange of the CPU is performed by "highly skilled Apple technicians", even if we accept this, those technicians are not doing it in the name and as employees of Apple but working for OWC.
    That would correct. The technicians may be certified by Apple for doing Mac repairs, but the technicians will not be Apple employees.
    The second point difficult to understand is that such an entire coverage of a modified MacPro would mean being able to replace if necessary ANY PART in one of these new machines, something only possible if Apple delivers to OWC whatever they need.
    I hardly believe that they could get by themselves any and every part of such a new computer bypassing Apple.
    Surely Apple has exclusive agreements with the suppliers of at least most of the parts needed to assemble a new MacPro.
    OWC is not using any Apple-provided parts. They are getting processors from other suppliers.
    The normal legal stance, at least in the US, is that a manufacturer cannot refuse warranty service due to a third-party or user modification unless that modification can be shown to have led to the problem. So whether Apple would refuse or accept warranty on a modified Mac Pro would depend entirely on what the problem is, but this is what OWC is referring to.
    I very much doubt that Apple will make any statement on the issue other than to direct the user to the official warranty statement. For the US, see:
    http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/embedded-mac-warranty-us.html
    but if they do choose to make a statement, it will not be here in these forums.
    Regards.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are your fellow users.
    You would need to talk to the Apple Store from which you purchased the iPad. Apple's official return policy is 14 days, though it's been reported that the manager of some Apple Stores have been waiving that limit.
    I doubt very much that the Apple Store will have anyone who speaks Chinese, though of course you can ask.

  • Can I exchange the old iPod nano for the new iPod nano?

    I was wondering if I can exchange my old iPod nano for a new one even if it costs a tiny bit extra.

    Hi Deborah,
    Your profile doesn't say what country you live in, but for example, if you go to the US Apple online store, you can click on the
    b Sales and Refunds
    link at the bottom of the page, to find Apple's policy.
    I'd suggest you dig a bit deeper into the online store site until you get to the appropriate
    b education store
    webpage, in case the
    b Sales and Refunds
    links at the bottom of that page leads to a modified policy.
    And even if you are past the stated
    b Refunds
    period, you have nothing to lose by calling the appropriate number (eg. in the US: 1-800-676-2775) to see if you can get a Return Material Authorization, especially since you wish to order a new computer at the same time. The worst they can say is "no".
    I'm assuming the iBook transaction was entirely online, but if it was instead bought through a campus bookstore to get the educational discount, the campus bookstore would then be another place to approach to see if they have different policies to the online store.
    best of luck,
    ...ben
    PS. I assume you know that this is a user-to-user discussion forum, and Apple won't respond to the questions you post here? But you will certainly find empathetic, fellow Mac owners who are happy to help you if they can.

  • Can't get the CPU utilization above 52%

    Hi all,
    I have an Intel i7 950 CPU based PC with Windows 10 TP on it which, no matter what, I cannot bring to 100% CPU utilization. While taking the attached screenshot, I was running prime95.exe.
    I have tested the same scenario on the same computer running Windows 8/8.1 and got the same result. However, when doing the same thing under Windows 7, CPU utilization went up to 100%.
    Anybody has any idea why this happens? Is it a different default setting somewhere (probably in registry)?
    Since I have this fast machine I would like to be able to use it at its full strength - the way things are now, my old Quad core 2 GHz PC is MUCH faster than this 8 core 3 GHz one (as I measured in several tests consisting of transcoding videos).
    Thanks for any pointers!

    Hi VikTak-9b,
    How did you get the CPU utilization information ?Are you getting the information from the task manager ?
    "I have tested the same scenario on the same computer running Windows 8/8.1 and got the same result. However, when doing the same thing under Windows 7, CPU utilization went up to 100%.
    Anybody has any idea why this happens? Is it a different default setting somewhere (probably in registry)?"
    I am a little confused here .According to my understanding ,the number is smaller the performance of the machine is higher when the other conditions are the same .

  • How Can I Measure the CPU Power My Flash Movie Uses?

    Hi All,
    I'm working on a complex job that is intended to play on low-end PCs so I'm looking at ways to reduce the processor load the movie needs to play. Obviously large screen size, high frame rate, intensive ActionScript, and complex graphics all add greatly to how much CPU power is needed to run a Flash movie, but is there a way of getting an accurate reading of the CPU power it is using? I am modifying a job that was running badly on low-spec PCs so now want to adjust it to run faster and smoother so would like to somehow be able to compare the modified job with the original. Any Idea how I could do this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi. I tried your suggestion and I could not get it to work well. In
    fact it worked better without the running average (which suprised me).
    I also played with the number of data points but still could not get it
    to work well.
    Do you have any other suggestions on how I could sort this problem out?
    I
    have attached a screen shot of the signal. To recap, I'm trying to
    measure the'y' position of the flat regions of the signal. The signal
    does not have a constant level, so this 'y' position varies with time
    in a non-unform manner.
    I am currently differentiating
    the signal and selecting the y position when the differential is equal
    to zero (within a tolerance band).
    In the screenshot, the
    signal has been zeroed using the method I have described above.
    However, it occasionally has glitches which may be caused when the code
    picks up a zero gradient at a peak or valley in the signal.
    I therefore need some kind of algorithm that only measures the position of the flat regions.
    Many thanks
     John
