Satellite P10-792/833: which is the chipset? IMPORTANT!

Hello everybody,
In order to install properly Win 2000 on a Toshiba Satellite P10-792, I must know which is the chipset of the motherboard.
It's impossible to find informations about this in the Web, and Toshiba is VERY inefficent: Is it possible that Toshiba sells notebook without specifying the technical specifications?????
Please answer me which chipset is installed in this notebook; IT ISN'T AN INTEL CHIPSET!

Thanks Fredo, that's right: It's an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP (RS300).
Obviously Toshiba doesn't say anything about this... I've called Toshiba phone assistance and they reply me "it's certainly an Intel 865PE chipset"; in the "download drivers/P10 series" there are only Intel chipset drivers... Toshiba is the ONLY producer that hasn't released the correct driver for its computer model...
I'll try to use Packard Bell (!!!) RS300 driver release in order to use properly my notebook. The other way is to use Ati reference drivers, but there are incomplete and not specific.
This is the reason because I'm not "cool" at all.

  • Satellite P10-792 RAM Compatibility (Nanya)

    Hello,
    Is Nanya RAM (PC2700, CL2,5) compatible with the Toshiba Satellite P10-792?
    Greetings

    Hi,
    yes, this Nanya RAM would fit 100% in this P10, because the machine supports PC2100/PC2700 RAM modules up to 1GB per slot.
    So feel free to insert this modules without worry. ;)

  • What chipset does a Satellite P10-792 have?

    I tried reinstalling windows however I currently do not have acces to the toshiba utilities cd. What is the chipset used by this laptop (so I can download the drivers from intel.com) or are the drivers also on this website? (Only see a chipset utility driver that cant be installed before the chipset itself).

    The utility driver refuses to install (no supporting chipset driver or somethinglike that)
    I see that rc300 is from ati isnt that just the 3dcard? I need a driver like intel or nvidia for the entire chipset.
    Message was edited by: sdk
    edit2: I fixed the problem, didn't install the intel chipset utility since it wasnt on the cdrom (but on the internet it was at the p10) I used the display driver (and before that a msi ati system driver for RS300 chipset) and now the VGA and SMbus etc are recognized and installed.

  • Satellite P10-792 harddisk size 27GB instead of 60GB?

    Just unpacked and spent the last week installing my P10-792 and now (...) I notice that the C-drive is only 27 GB whereas the drive itself is about 60 GB. There is an unnamed volume of about the same size (27 GB).
    In the FAQ I found a remedy regarding resizing partitions using the restore-CD, but this probably means installing the entire machine all over again.
    Please help me out. I would like to use the entire drive and not just half of it.
    Thanks, Stephan

    I have a 40 GB HDD and my computer shows 2 partitions 'C' and 'D' of 18,6 GB each.
    I think that the difference is because manufacturers show the value of their HDD in Gbytes.
    Computers recognizes bytes which is 1MB=1024 bytes and 1GB = 1024MB.
    If you do the maths you will see that the real value is closer to the written.
    You also hava to exclude the space in your HDD which is used for mechanical safety reason (This space depends on manufacturer and the tecnology is used - Not very big).
    The other i have to tell you is that you use the NTFS or FAT32 depending on the applications you want to use and not depending on the operating system. NTFS for the hard ones (Databases, Server apps etc) and Fat32 for the soft (games, Ms office etc). You CAN share files between these two formats without any risk.
    My suggestion is to leave your computer as it is because there is a lot of risk loosing your data when 'playing' with partitiong tools.
    If you decide it use Partition magic. It is the best in market.

  • Satellite P10-792 lock ups / crashes and battery

    I have been using my P10-792 even since I bought it 3 year ago. Theres been a battery waning box that pops up on my screen (sometimes) saying that I should replace the wrong inserted battery and restart my computer. Theres also a mouse touch pad issue. It touchpad doesnt respond well to my commands while trying to move the pointer.
    The battery-warning message usually comes along with the touch pad malfunction. I have to press esc several times to restore the touchpad back to normality and close the process application Btrychkr.exe under the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu to make the waning box go away.
    But the major and most recently problem are the lockups, especially when running programs that require high video processing such as 3D games and DVDs. The screen freezes for several seconds before it comes back to life. This is sometimes followed by a sudden shut down.
    Finally, when I try to turn it on, it doesnt even get to load windows before it shuts down again, and so on. So I have to wait several minutes before pushing the on button again. Now we have reached a critical situation where the computer wont last more than 10 minutes before it automatically shuts down without any previous notice. There are no error messages so I cannot see what the cause of the problem is. (Battery? Overheating?)
    Its also important to notice that a friend of mine with a P10 series also had these same problems and eventually had to buy a new one because the laptop got just out of hand. Im afraid mine gets to the same situation.
    How can I fix it?
    I would really appreciate some help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    You use you notebook since 3 years. Did you replace the battery during this 3years?
    No? I think it would be a nice idea to change the battery.
    Usually after about 500 times of charging and discharging procedures the battery performance going down and the life time decreases
    Additional during these 3 years the notebook should be cleaned. The fans suck the dirt and dust and sometime the cooling modules cannot rotate with full performance and cannot cool the CPU and other devices.
    Of course, the overheating could be a reason for your shut down problems
    It sounds like you havent much experience so I think someone with more experience (technician) should clean the notebooks cooling modules

  • Satellite P10-804: How to remove the HDD?

    I'd like to remove the 60Gb internal hard drive from my satellite P10-804 and replace it with a bigger drive, but cannot figure out how to get inside the case to remove the HDD.
    Does anyone have details on how to do this?

    Hi
    In my knowledge the HDD must be placed under the optical dirve.
    To remove the HDD, first remove the battery pack and optical drive, then follow the steps below:
    1. Remove four black screws securing the aluminum shield covering the HDD and lift it out.
    2. Gently pull the HDD toward the computers front panel to disconnect it from the system board, then lift it out.
    3. Remove the four silver screws that secure the HDD case to the HDD.
    But be careful. If you have no experiences ask someone with more experience in such replacements.

  • I would like to combine multiple profiles into a new computer. Which are the most important folder or files to migrate?

    The user profile in my old computer somehow became corrupted and I can no longer access it to log on. Unfortunately I was not aware of the Firefox sync feature at the time. I used a new profile and had to start from scratch to save new bookmarks and extensions/plugins. I did set up Firefox sync for this new profile. Now I have a brand new computer and desire to migrate the bookmarks to this new computer, including the original bookmarks in the old computer, as well as the bookmarks in the second profile. While I have located the profiles folder for each profile in my old computer (as well as extensions and plugin folders), the content of this folder is daunting. I would like to know which are the minimal folders I should select to migrate and would it be safe to simply copy and paste over the entire folder? Please note that I have also added new bookmarks into my new computer which I would not like erased. I hope these details are not convoluted.

    Firefox has two methods of bringing in bookmarks from another Firefox profile:
    * Restore a backup (JSON files in the bookmarkbackups folder): this completely replaces what you have, so is not the first step
    * Import from an HTML file: this is additive and will create an Imported Bookmarks folder or add them under Unsorted Bookmarks
    Restore is best if you tag your bookmarks because the JSON format preserves tags. If tags are not important, then it's easier.
    What I suggest is:
    (1) Export your current bookmarks to the HTML format; you can reimport these later. See: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]. Open the file in Firefox (it's a web page) to make sure it looks complete before proceed.
    Next, get the bookmarkbackups folders from each of your old profiles that you want to restore, and look for the most-complete-looking JSON files (they will have the most recent dates and largest number of bookmarks indicated in the file name). Proceed from the smallest set to the largest, or oldest to newest; basically, restore the most important one last.
    (2) Restore a backup, then export to HTML. This article has the steps for a restore: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. Then export to HTML and check for completeness.
    (3) Repeat #2 until you get to the last/most important restore. You don't need to export that one.
    (4) Import the HTML files you've made throughout the process.
    (5) In the Library dialog, reorganize. Firefox doesn't have a deduplicator, but you might find one or more extensions to do the job on the Add-ons site if you find a lot of overlap.
    Make sense?

  • Satellite P10-792 shuts itself down

    Hello,
    my notebook (bought in October 2004) shuts itself down after 5 or 10 minutes because it's running too hot.
    If I place my notebook on blocks (5 cm) and place a giant wind blower next to / under it, my notebook works perfect.
    So I assume there is a problem with the cooling installation.
    Also after 3 weeks one USB-connection was broken.
    I brought back my notebook where I bought it and they send it forward to an official Toshiba repair service.
    Now, I have to pay almost 900 euros to fix it.
    I think this is a case of guarantee !!
    I payed 1800 euros for it and not even a year later I have to pay so much again to make it work again ??
    Is this the sort of guarantee Toshiba gives ?
    I thought Toshiba was a brand with a good customer service... ?!
    greetings

    Hi Dorien,
    The symptoms that you describe definitely indicate that your notebook is overheating. You will find many posts on these forums covering this topic. Briefly you need to remove the dust that is trapped between the cooling fans and the heat-sink. I would recommend a Vacuum cleaner hose placed over the air intake grilles. Alternatively you can remove the heat-sink and clear the debris manually (This will invalidate your warranty however).
    As to your comments about your USB port, I also experienced this when both the ports on my A30 broke. I was advised that this is treated as accidental damage and is therefore not covered by the warranty. I opted to purchase a PCMCIA to USB adapter which was far cheaper than the cost of the repair.

  • Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

    how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
    I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
    Help??

    One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
    However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
    Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

  • Satellite P10-792: wireless LAN Intel 2100

    Hi!
    I tried to install INTEL BG 2100 wireless mini-PCI card. Drivers work OK, but they say "Radio off". Nothing changes when I press [FN]+[F7]. Card is OK (tested in some Arima-made notebook).
    How can I use the card?

    I have a similar problen with my A30 Satallite. Driver installs OK and device works fine but keeps telling me to enable hardware switch. When you say enable switch do you mean somewhere in the system config because I have found that switching to on position does nothing, as iff switch is not connected.

  • I have no bar which shows the words import. How can I get my favorites moved over or do i have to just keep going back to explorer to get them. I did the auto set up to move them but cant find them on any tool bar

    i downloaded firefox and said to import my favorites and stuff from my qwest homepage and can't find them . I have no tool box on any of my pages that I can drop down that says import. not on my old homepage or the firefox page. Help, i dont want to have to keep going back and forth

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
    If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Satellite P10-554 shuts down after few minutes and I can not reboot

    hello,
    i hope anybody can help me with my satellite P10-554
    when i start the notebook everything works fine a few minutes. than the monitor turns into black and the notebooks shuts down suddenly. i cannot reboot it, when i push the start-button nothing happens.
    i have to wait for about an hour and then i can start it up again, but he works just a minute and shuts down again !
    help me please, cause i need my notebook to work !

    I did that many times. First you need a special torx-screwdriver. Then you can remove the cover over the fans. Than take your vacuum-cleaner and remove the dust. Take a brush or somethin else to remove the dust from the fans. Then, you need to remove I think 2 big screws, now you should hold the cooling falance in your hands, the one with the fans. Clean that properly.
    After that you can remove the copper-cooler, with 2 more screws I think, but it is pretty obviously. Now you should see the blank cpu with lots of heat-paste on it. I dont know why they put so much of this stuff on it from toshiba. So get a better one like Arctic-Silver or sth. My advice is to take the CPU off (one screw on top as far as I remember) and clean the surface.
    The copper you can clean under water, but dont use sth that could scratch the surface. After that let it dry good. Now just put the CPU back and fix it with the screw again. Take a !litte! heat paste and put it properly with a paper all over the surface of the CPU, but remember, just a little! Then follow all steps back, dont forget to clean the graphics-chip as well and put some paste on it. You can see which it is when you look under the fan-cooling-falance, there should be a rest of heat-paste. Everything back to its place and voil*, a nice, cool clean notebook. By the way, I replaced even the fans.
    If you need further advice, just ask!

  • Satellite P10-304 Won't power up now

    Hello,
    Got Satellite P10-304 machine which won't power up after 2nd attempt. What happened:-
    Machine powered up from cold start - booted up Window XP ok. After 5 -10 minutes, machine screen went dimmed (looks like backlight have gone) and couldn't power off machine by pressing power button, so had to remove the battery pack to kill the power into machine.
    Now, machine won't power up (even battery pack fully charged), When I pressed the power button, I do get a orange light flashed once inside the blue light circle area around power button.
    Leave machine powered off for about 1 hour and machine started up in BIOS screen and then after 3 mins screen went dimmed again. Machine won't start up again! Checked AC adaptor and getting 19.3Volts and 6.1Amp so power supply unit ok.
    Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing? Dose anyone come across this problem before?
    Many thanks

    Hello
    > Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing?
    Yes, it seems so :(
    Maybe its not the mainboard but another hardware part. But to be honest you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check the notebook to determine what is exactly wrong.
    And here you can search the nearest ASP:
