Satellite M30:I need more resolution

Hi,
I have M30, XP system.
The screen rosolution of 1280x800 pixels is not enough. Is there a way to increase that resolution?
(Virtual resolution are not good which need you to scroll the screen...)

Hello
The fact is that the physical resolution of a TFT display is fixed based on the number of pixels the screen has. In your case this is 1280x800. Higher resolution is therefore not possible. One can lower the resolution but then the image is stretched and the image will appear a bit out of focus. This is also true for an external TFT screen. If one needs higher resolution one must buy a PC with higher resolution, of course the price will also be higher.
Like you know the max. resolution of the laptop is always shown at the specification and if you want to buy a notebook with higher resolution you must check it before you buy it.

Satellite L40-13G - need more powerful battery

Hello! My current battery No is PA3591U-1BRS. I need a battery that can provide me more than 2 hours of working. Can you advice me something?
Thanks!

Hello
As you know Toshiba offers more powerful batteries for some notebook models. More powerful batteries are offered for business line notebooks only. Unfortunately for your Satellite L40 there are no other batteries as those you already have.
Satellite L40 seems to be low budget notebook and there are no much options offered for it. :(

Thinking of buying Satellite C855-226 - need more info

Hi all,
This is my 1st msg here :)
I am thinking of buying C855-226 for 529 and then Saturn offers C855-2EV for 477, which very cheap and ticks most of the boxes for me which are : price, processor, hd capacity, max ram, the thing that I dont liek is the size and weight (initially I wanted 14inch & <2.2kg, but all very expensive).
Now before I buy it, I need to gather some more information regarding this series, I hope you can help me.
What I would like to know is:
Are there any known problems with this series such as heat / wifi
The reason I ask this is because Im buying C855 to replace my overheated HP DV3, and I dont want that to happen again. Moreover the other candidate is Lenov B590 which always very cool laptop (from the review even after heavy loads it only reaches <50c), unfortunately B590 known to have wifi issue & poor screen.
How about the speaker is that decent enough?
Thanks

Satellite M30-104 - Cannot set a right resolution on external monitor

Hi everyone,
I've got a Satellite M30-104 with a nvidia GeForce FX5200.
It works well but when I plug a external monitor in, which is a wide screen 1440*900, I can't set the good resolution, even if I install the last driver.
What can I do?
Thanks

Hi
First of all you have to check in your user manual if your graphic card would support such external resolution.
But note; you will be not able to choose this resolution if the graphic driver doesnt contains it, even though this resolution would be supported by graphic card.
As you see two facts are important: graphic driver and graphic card have to support this resolution if you want to use it.

I need more than 1280x800 resolution

I know the average mac book has a 1280x800 max resolution but for the graphic programs I use I need a higher resolution. I'm new to the mac world and am still getting used to it. I know on pc even on lower end cards you can get programs that will boost the resolution higher. Is there anything like this for mac? I don't need a crazy high 1600 type resolution just one size up like the mac book pro offers with a 1440x990.
Thanks!

Maximum display resolution is a function of both the resolution capabilities of the graphics card and the monitor. Neither of these are modifiable on the MacBook. If you need greater resolution you can connect an external monitor capable of higher resolution. The MB graphic card supports up to 1920 x 1200 on external monitors (if supported by the monitor.)
Otherwise, you should have gotten a MacBook Pro. A little prior research before you purchased would have alerted you to these differences and limitations.

Satellite L850-150 LCD screen swap to another with more resolution?

Hi,
I'm owner of a Toshiba L850-150, with a screen resolution of 1,366 x 768 and i want to know if is possible to swap the Lcd screen to another with more resolution, lets say one panel capable of display full HD 1920*1080 resolution.
I think the graphics card has enough power to handle it. (No gaming intended)

Thanks PauPau.
I choosed the L850-150 because of the high processor power and dedicated midrange gpu to use mainly with Deejay / Veejay apps.
While you are playing live in a gig you cant really tell the difference between HD and FullHD in a 15" screen, but at home is more noticeable.
My point is to swap the lcd panel with another Toshiba compatible with more resolution when warranty ends, and to sell mine in ebay.
I usually connect a projector to the vga port, so i cant take the external monitor option easily.
It seems that no laptop in the L850 and P850 Series uses a Full HD panel, that would make things easier.
So to be more specific my question would be if is it possible to swap lcd panels with a more resolution one from a 15,6" Toshiba of another series (mine is 1,366 x 768)
Thanks in advance

Satellite L300-1A3 - One key needs more pressure

Hello, I purchased 1 month ago a notebook *L300-1A3* but ,
I have a problem with its keyboard that *"T"* key needs more pressure rather other keys
+please help me how i can fix this key same as others?+

Hi
Maybe the key cap is not mounted correctly?
Usually you can remove the key caps from the keyboard
Do it carefully (dont use any force in order not to break something) and check if something prevent the button from correctly working.
If everything will look ok then I would recommend contacting an ASP technician for help maybe the whole keyboard must be replaced in order to solve this button issue

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

How to change the cooler on Satellite M30-344?

Hello,
I´m pretty lucky with my Satellite M30-344 but since 2 months the cooler starts to get louder every day. Is it possible to change the cooler on my own and how expansive is the original cooler? Do you know something like a tutorial for the changing process?
Originally 2 256MB Ram pieces is installed. Now I´m thinking about a bigger RAM piece. As far as I know the are only 2 slots for the RAM or am I wrong. Is it possible to install two 1GB RAM pieces???
Thank you for your help!

Hi
The replacement of the internal devices is not easy and a little bit risky.
I would not recommend replacing the cooling module yourself.
You could damage something on the board and as you know the motherboard is a one of the expensive parts of the notebook. The manuals are not published because such documents are only for the technicians and service partners.
Therefore I think you should ask a service partner for the help because these guys have more experience in such procedures.
I found a online site with the memory modules for Satellite M30-344
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=6958&ft=m&st=3
It says that its possible to update the memory to max 2GB. Therefore I Think its possible to use 2x 1024MB module.

PS CC Says I need more than 512 Vram ...

I was using Photoshop last night just to prep a couple of photos for class submission (3 pictures, just reducing their size for web consumption), and I got the message stating that I needed more than 512 Megs of Vram, which was odd to me, as I have 1024 Dedicated available on my video card. I don't run a dual monitor setup any longer, but I do have an ASUS PBs278 that's running at 2560 X 1440. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 6800 HD, and my windows 7 system is running on 8 gigs of ram. Up till within the last week, CC has worked just fine, but the other day on boot, it took an unusually long time to get into the software. It eventually did, and I'm wondering if that was an update or some such that's now made the software decree that if it doesn't have the 512 it thinks it should have, the 3d functions won't happen. I don't know if it's a consequence of the larger quantity of pixels being pushed, or if it's the video card getting too old to support CC at such a high resolution now, but some help would be amazing.

Windows 7, 64 bit. I haven't been able to replicate the error, but I have the new drivers as well. I hope this just ends up being a fluke.

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?+

DVD recording very slow on my Satellite M30

Hi,
I have a satellite M30 with a DVD burner Teac dv-w28e. burning onto DVD (8x) takes more than 1 hour and half for 4 GB, even if the burning program says the speed is 8x and the estimated time is 10 minutes.
So, what's the matter???

Hi
Which burning program did you use?
I prefer to use the Nero burning utility. In my opinion, its one of the best burning tools. You should check if you have this issue with other burning programs.
Did you simulate the burning procedure or did you burn the DVD without simulating?
As far as I know some programs simulate firstly the burning procedure and after proper simulation the files will be burn to the DVD. In this case the burning procedure takes much longer.

Satellite M30: Replace DVD with additional HDD?

Hello!
As my Satellite M30-642 doesn't offer a modular bay to switch drives and as I got an additional DVD writer for USB which I can use I am thinking of trying an experiment: removal of DVD drive and replacing it with an additional HDD/SSD.
As the SSDs are very light weight, have no moving parts and do not necessarily require screws to be installed and as the DVD slot delivers IDE and power connector this could work. The SSD needs to be placed inside an old and modified slimline cd-rom to ensure that the modification isn't visible and the notebook is safe from dust etc.
Has anyone tried something like that before? Are there any solutions to buy for Sat M30 (model year 2004)?
Cheers, obreitfelder

Hi
As far as I know the Sat M30 doesnt support the slim select bay and therefore you cannot use such adaptor instead of the CD/DVD drive.
Sorry this is not possible

Where do I get ATI mobility Radeon 9600/9700 Driver for Satellite M30?

Hey ho, had to reinstall winxp now i cant get any drievrs for the graphic card, I tried ATI they got the ones i need, but say they dont support toshiba notebooks and i cant install or even download the driver i need.i looked everywhere . on this site in the drivers section i cant find any ati drivers or any graphic drivers at all...Anyone got a Link for me plz?
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.
