Satellite M30 - display adapter driver

New software loaded onto my laptop warns "...your display adapter requires an updated driver". The driver I have is a Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200. Could anyone tell me what is the latest and how do I get it. I am VERY non technie! so I hope it is simple!! Also what is BIOS? (told you I was non-technie!!!!!)
Thanks GillW

Hi Gill,
The latest available driver for your graphics is version 46.44 and you will need to check which version you currently have (in Device Manager). It is likely that you already have this version installed since the release date is May 2004.
The BIOS is a small programme held on the CMOS chip on your mainboard and it is responsible for handling the basic peripheral functions of your notebook so that your operating system can get on with running your applications. The BIOS is loaded when you power on your notebook and before the operating system itself starts up.
regards,

HT3492 I have an Acer S239HL display monitor connected to my MacBook pro that just stopped working. Acer customer support said I needed to refresh the display adapter driver. How or where do I find this?

Satellite M30 Display crash

Today, after almost two years of usage with no problems, the diplay on my Satellite M30-901 crashed. Starting to normally use the notebook, the display became "unstable", tremoring, vertical lines appeared, the background brightness changed successively on green, violet, blue then normal white, it was like watching through smog. Then it got frozen. I rebooted the notebook, worked a little bit and crashed the same way. After third normal reboot the problem appeared from the first image, when booting. I tried to use an external monitor but it does not work. Any ideas? Could it be the motherboard or the display itself. I treated my laptop with very much care, did not hit or drop it. Anyy suggestions, or simmilar behavior? Could it be a faulty display card? Thank you ver much!

Hello
I think that you are right about that. Like you said, usually it is not necessary to hold the main body of the when opening the display.
I can really not give you any advice about your problem. There can be two reasons for the display issue: software or hardware malfunction. You can reinstall the unit with recovery CD and check this. If the problem persists it is probably caused by hardware. In this case the only solution is service department.
Good luck!

Display Adapter Driver Resetting

The original HP customized Intel Display Graphics driver that came with this computer, was last updated in August 2011.
That driver is too old to work with some of my new graphics programs.
After much searching I found that the Intel 3000 HD Graphics Driver would install and allow my newer programs to work.
However, somewhere between then and now, the older, original driver was reinstalled.
I went back to the Intel 3000, but is there a way to prevent the computer from reverting to the older driver?
Thanks,
Glenn

Hey @glenna1984 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand you Intel HD 3000 drivers have rolled back automatically after updating.
Check if you have the HP Support Assistant set to update automatically, or Windows updates. These would be the only things capable of "automatically" changing a driver.
Guides:
Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
Turn automatic updating on or off (Windows 7).
Note: You can also check in Programs and Features for recently installed Windows updates. To see updates make sure you select the option to show installed updates on the right side of Programs and Features.
Thanks.

You can find the drivers for your T41 on this site. (Video Driver) You may also want to consider running System Update which should update all drivers for you automatically.

Satellite M30-801 - display will not work after hibernation

Hello everybody,
I hope you will help me with this issue. I have a Toshiba Satellite M30-801 and my warranty has finished.
A few days ago, my computer had stayed some hours in standby mode. When I restarted the system, the screen continued on black. No images.
I connected an external monitor to check the video card and that test was ok. Now I'm writing this letters using my laptop connected to the external monitor.
Also, i noticed that there was blacklight on the screen.
I had checked the power management for the universal serial bus controllers on the control panel.
I downloaded and installed the last bios update.
But the display is still black.
Could you help me? any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Stalker99ES

Hello Sascha,
++When you start your notebook without external monitor can you see anything?+

Trouble loading Mac driver for Display Adapter (connecting Mac to flat screen TV)

Howdy:
I'm trying to connect my Mac (OSX 5) to a flat screen TV. To do so I just bought a USB 2.0 to HDMI® Display Adapter w/ Audio (1920 x 1080). The mini CD containing the DisplayLink software drivers that came with the unit won't fit in my Mac CD drive. I then tried to download the correct driver from the DisplayLink website, "DisplayLink USB Graphics Macintosh Driver" which appears to be appropriate for OSX 5 (at http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php). This proceeds through the installation steps, then bombs out with the error message that "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for DisplayLink software. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
In the hopes of finding a compatible driver, I looked for an earlier version of the driver on the DisplayLink site, but couldn't find one.
Help!

Your 20" 2007 iMac has a mini-dvi video out. Forget about using usb and installing drivers and just use a mini-dvi to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable instead.
Mini-DVI to HDMI Adapter
Then connect your audio line out (headphone) to your TV's audio in and you should be set to go.

Ati mobility Radeon 9600/9700 Driver for Satellite M30
Hope this works somehow been looking all day long now :(

Hi,
its your lucky day my friend.
Check this sites and download the drivers you need:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
The drivers are native Nvidia/ATI drivers but the *.inf files (the files where the hardware information and the settings for the cards are listed) were fitted for mobile systems. That means you can install them on your machine and by the way you will get the most actual drivers.

Wifi adapter of Satellite M30 does not work anymore

During these last couple of days the wifi adapter in my Satellite M30 have had a way of dying once a day.
The first time I still had a light and I could see when I turned it on and off. When that didn't help to get it going again, I decided to reboot and the wifi died completely.
Later, when I did a scan for hardware changes in the Device Manager, the adapter popped back up in the list of devices again and worked just fine.
At least up until today. A couple of hours ago it died again for no obvious reason and now I simply cannot get it back at all.
I might mention that yesterday the light didn't come back on after I did that scan for hardware changes and got it to work again.
When I tried to update the drivers it keep telling me that the drivers are already up to date and now I don't know what to do.
Is this a hardware problem and what can I do about it?
This laptop was 4 years and well used just a few days ago btw, but it never been taken apart and I've never had to send it in for service.
I would appreciate any help I can get.
Christa

Hi there,
thats definetly a hardware problem and it can only be resolved by exchanging the wireless LAN card. You can check if it works under linux (just download some live-CD e.g. knoppix, and let the OS recognise the wifi card - if it wont recognise then its definetly broken).
You could also contact an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a hardware checkup but I guess they will charge you for that.
You have the choice... :)

Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

Installed video drivers may not always support the functionality of the latest Flash Player. If Flash Player does not function correctly, updating the video drivers to the latest available version is one of the first steps to try. Below are instructions how to update the video drivers on Windows systems.
identify the manufacturer and type of your video card
open Device Manager: Start | Run | enter devmgmt.msc
open the Display Adapters drop-down; this will show you the installed video card:
identify the device driver version
right-click on your display adapter entry and select Properties
click on the Driver tab; this will show you the driver version and date:
go to the device manufacturer's support site and download the latest driver
NVIDIA cards: NVIDIA driver download page, or auto-detect
ATI cards: ATI driver download page, or auto-detect
Intel cards: Intel driver download page, or auto-detect
Matrox cards: Matrox driver download page
VIA cards: VIA Arena driver download page (redirects to 3rd-party download site)
SiS cards: SiS driver download page, or auto-detect
S3 cards: S3 driver download page, or auto-detect (option 2 on the download page)
follow the instructions on the manufacturer's support site
Note: some of the auto-detect utilities linked above will only run on Internet Explorer.

Satellite M30: Are the SD-R6472 and SD-R6572 drives compatible?

Hi,
are the SD-R6472 and SD-R6572 DVD-RW DRIVES compatible with the Toshiba Satellite M30?
THX

Hi
I dont have found any further information about the compatibility of this drives with the Satellite M30.
But if you want you can visit the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/generic_content.jsp?service=EU&ID=ONLINE_SHOP
There you can find options and accessories for many Toshiba units.
Check it.
Ps: You can also try to ask the Toshiba service in your country for the details.

Win 8.1, Clean Install, No AMD Display Adapter Found

I have a C55D-B5203 AMD basec Laptop. After a restore from backup failure, I had to do a clean 8.1 install. The recovery partition was damaged. Only the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is found, not the AMD adapter. I have tried to install the Catalyst based driver, but that also doesn't detect the A600 adapter. What should I try next?

Satellite C55D-B5203
Downloads here.
Essentially all the drivers and utilities at that site need to be installed for the laptop to operate as designed - and the order matters. You can stuggle with that if you have the time. I don't and would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 49 of the User's Guide.

Satellite M30-861: why can i not write to DVD?

Hi I bought Satellite M30-861 about 15 months ago and until now have only tried to burn CDs - no problem. Now I want to try to burn onto a DVD but it doesnt seem to be recognised (I tried drag n drop and also NERO). I can see on the drive unit that it says DVD R/RW and according to my warranty info on Toshiba website I should be able to burn DVDs (this was a question I asked when buying!). Any ideas what I am doing wrong??!
Thanks!
Marving

Hi Marvin,
According to the specifications for your notebook you should be able to burn DVD-R/RW only. Are you sure that you are using the correct media ( -R/RW and not +r/rw).
Also if you are using RW media then these will need to be formatted before you can burn to them. (you can use Nero INCD to do this).
regards,

Satellite M30-344 would not boot up

Hello!
I have there a Toshiba Satellite M30-344.
I didn't use the notebook since several weeks. Now everytime I boot the Notebook an error appears: "0203: Failure IDE #2 - Do you want to run setup".
Since the last use I didn't change anything on the configuration.
The only problem there was, is that I has forgotten to turn him off and he kept running under my table for more than 2 weeks.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings from Germany!

Hi,
...oh dear, you are not kidding?? You forgotten to turn him off and kept him under a table??? Man, THATs REALLY weird. :)
And now to help you with your problem:
IDE#2 means the DVD-drive, so you have some options to bring your machine to life, since your DVD-drive maybe could be faulty.
Firstly, try to get into BIOS and make everything to default. If you didnt get any results, then remove the drive by unscrewing the screw under the drive and pulling the drive gently out
of tha machine. You can also after you unscrewed it, open the drive and then gently pulling it by the inner carriage of the drive.
If unsure how to make or to much fear to damage something, then bring your machine to an local ASP and they will help you with your little problem.
So I think, your drive is probably faulty.
Greets
P.S.: And try to remember next time when what you keep under your table like notebooks, pets, humans, gremlins.... ;)
Nice weekened
