Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card Upgrade/Replacement

I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4-m 2.0 30gb and the graphics card has died. I love this laptop.
It had an NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16mb
Can I replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32mb from the same models.
Is there something more powerful available that works with no problems for the 6100? ie. GeForce4 440 Go 64mb?
Cheers

Usually toshiba didnt offered a separate graphics card update but there were different graphics cards installed in your machine and THEORETICALLY you can use every of these cards in your machine. I cannot promise it but they should all work in this machine.
The problem is that you have to disassemble the machine completely and if you make something wrong then you know that there is no point of return since your machine is not anymore in the warranty. Maybe it would make sense to give the machine some technician to exchange the graphics card.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you which graphics cards fit in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case youre on your own.
Good luck

Satellite Pro M30 graphics card not working when driver is installed

Hi all,
Im having problem with my nvidia Geforce FX Go5200, in a Satellite Pro M30 laptop, (Intel Pentium M processor 1.7 GHz, 512 Ram). This card was working fine suddenly the notebook stops.
I have formatted the notebook and installed Win XP PRO. After installing the VGA driver I restarted the notebook but black screen started coming up right after the Win XP splash screen appears. The notebook continues to start up but no screen.
It starts just fine in safe mode. I get my best screen by simply disabling the geforce card or uninstalling the driver. I tried to install a new driver for the VGA from the Toshiba download site but same problem appears. I have also tried updating BIOS but nothing happens.
Anyone can help me?

It is very strange issue. It will be really interesting to know if this happen when you use delivered recovery installations CD.
Anyway I presume there is some problem with LCD display. In safe mode the desktop is shown in lowers resolution but when OS starts the resolution will be adapted for standard one (1280x800) and obviously there is the problem.
I am not technician but I recommend you to contact service partner. As far as I know they use special tools and programs for display tests. They can tell you more.

Mac Pro 2009 graphics card upgrade

Hi there!
as you probably know there are two (in my eyes at least) types of the Ati Radeon 5770 these being:
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/27669549/620722873/ATI-Radeon-HD5770-1GB-PCI-E-Gra phics-Card/ListingDetails.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518%7Ccat:27669549%7Cprd:27669549 This version seems to be more designed for the Windows side of computers
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30974340/703247528/Apple-MC742ZM-A-Radeon-5770-Gra phic-Card-1-GB-GDDR5-SDRAM-PCI-Express-2-0-DisplayPort-DVI/ListingDetails.html?_ %24ja=tsid:11518%7Ccat:30974340%7Cprd:30974340 And this one being for Mac (at least thats how it seems)
Anyway, the cards seem to look quite unlike each other. one as you can see has some sort of picture on the top, the other is just blank.
But my question is: can my early 2009 Mac Pro use the "windows" (if it is infact for windows) graphics card? as i'm looking for an upgrade

This is an Apple-firmware one that will save you a few bucks if you live in the US (except for New York where they must add tax):

I guess that says you will have to pay pretty nearly what Apple charges, regardless. Otherwise you get no picture until the Mac OS X login screen.

No, the graphics chipset on that model does not use shared video memory.

How to upgrade my Macbook Pro's Graphic Card?

I have a Early 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro and it's ***** when I play games.
Here are the specs:
- 2.8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
- 6 GB RAM
- Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
- OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
- 750 GB HDD 1333 MHz DDR3
It lags a lot when I play such an old games such as GTA Vice City (the FPS drops a lot when my mac getting hot) or GTA San Andreas (quite stable). Both of them aren't modded and still original. Is there any way to upgrade my Macbook Pro's graphic card?

You cannot upgrade the Graphics card on a laptop because everything is built into the logic board. Unfortunately your perticular graphics chip is actually built into the CPU, and is a very low performing chip which would definately make gaming hard.
Sorry for the bad news.

How to access WLAN card on Satellite Pro 6100?

I'm cleaning up a Satellite Pro 6100 for a customer and noticed that it has a built in wireless card (something they didn't know). However, I just can't work out how to access it. I've pushed the little switch on the side backwardsa and forwards, I've toggled Fn-F8 and everything else i can think of. But nothing happens.
I even discovered the Network Device Switch utility but that's only showing the LAN card.
Any ideas?

First of all please check in the device manager if the notebook has built-in WLan card. The available WLan switch at the notebook site says nothing. The notebooks are delivered with different specifications and the WLan card is optional.
I think the WLan card is not installed in your notebook and therefore you cannot use it.

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

I have Satellite Pro M70. Generally the graphic card upgrade on notebooks is not possible. CPU maybe but graphic card . I really dont believe it.
Can you imagine what happen inside of notebook if the exchange could be possible?

Satellite Pro 6100 - "Built-in HDD Password" error at startup

Hi, my laptop (Satellite Pro 6100 P4-M 1.7 GHz/15TFT/256MB/40GB/DVD-CDRW/LAN/WiFi/BT/W2K or XP) has rather recently started prompting me with a message "Built-in HDD Password" at boot up. I've never set any passwords on the hard disk in the past, though in desperation of trying to get the laptop running, have tried all the possible passwords that I've ever had. Nothing's working, and I am stranded with a dead laptop on my hands. I would appreciate any help/advice that anyone can render.
Thanks.

Hi Khurram,
Sadly I think you will need to replace your hard drive. If your notebook is definitely asking for a hard drive password then there is no way of bypassing this and the only way that I know of recovering this situation is to send the hard drive to a specialist company who specialise in this kind of recovery (usually for forensic puposes, Police, armed forces, etc.). This can prove quite expensive.
The easiest (and cheapest) option would be for you to replace the hard drive and then restore your system and data (either from a backup if you have one, or else from the Toshiba recovery discs).
regards,

HP Pavilion Elite PC Graphics Card upgrading questions.

Hi,
This is my computer http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-elite-e9220y/4505-3118_7-33777303.html, scroll down for the specs. Im a big pc gamer and the graphics card I currently have is good but im looking to push further and get a better one. Mainly looking to get a more powerful graphic card that is compatible with the processor I currently have. If anyone can list me better graphic cards that are compatible please list all of them intill I would need to upgrade my proccesor, Thank you.

Your PC is spec'd with a 300 watt power supply. Unplug your PC and open it up. Read the label on the power supply. What is the total wattage and the 12+ volt amperage? Also, is the slot next to the video card (PCI-E x16 slot) open? The e9920y specifications and motherboard.
If your PC only has a 300 watt power supply, then depending on the 12+ volt amperage you have limited choices of video graphics cards without replacing the power supply. You probably can get the NVIDIA Geforce 220 GT to work but nothing faster. For a gamer, the GT 220 is not the best choice but it's faster than your ATI Radeon HD 4350. At this point, you will need to replace the power supply and install a new video card if your want something faster.
Review the ATI and NVIDIA performance specifications. Look at the memory bandwidth specifications and the DirectX level support.

Satellite Pro 6100 shuts down after 15-30 minutes

My satellite Pro 6100 cuts out after 15-30 mins operating on mains power. There is a snapping sound and all lights go out except slow flashing amber (power problem). I restore it by removing the power cable and waiting a while.
It will then boot up again. I have used two different power adaptors and two different battery packs. It also happens if running on mains with no battery in. My suspicion is an overheat cut-out. Does the Sat Pro have one? Might it be clogged with dust inside (it is 5 years old)? If so how do I clean it out. I don't think it is fan failure as I can hear the fan cut in. Advice much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,
Me and my partner, have the same LapTop, and I've located the problem in connector between PSU board and MainBoard. So, if you've never opened your LapTop, now is the time, but be prepared with tools for SMD soldering. Usually, the connector on MainBoard is the problem. The reason for this is that Toshiba made flaw in design of the housing and admitted that, which resulted with court order for replacing the LapTop with some models from newer line for that time, or paying cash amount ($1.000). I intend to repair my LapTop in a way that I will replace the connectors (both on PSU and Main Board) with thin wires. I know that this is a hell of a job (160 solder points) but what can I do, I love this machine. I am working on Compaq EVO N-610c, but he can only eat the dust from Toshiba.
Regards,
Alek

Satellite Pro 6100 screen compatibility

Hello!
Is there a place i can check screen compatibility for my Toshiba SP 6100?
I have damaged a screen on one of my laptop and would like to replace it.
Thanks

Hi
The problem is that Satellite Pro 6100 was delivered with four different displays.
14.1' (1024x768) TFT colour display,
15.1' (1024x768) TFT colour display,
15.1' (1400x1050) TFT colour display,
15.1' (1600x1200) TFT colour display
I have found a information that a P000334230 (LTN150X4-L01) screen is compatible with your unit.
http://www.getpartsonline.com/p000334230.html
But I recommend asking the Toshiba service partner in you country for compatible screens.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
thanks.

Hi buddy,
Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

Can't see new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

I have bought a new Toshiba 40GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
I have installed it in it's bay but it is not being recognised in the BIOS or when i try to reinstall using the recovery disc!
Would the bios recognise that there is a drive even if it is not formatted?
Am missing something?
Thanks in advance
Neil

It should work !
The drive also should be recognized even it is not formatted...
3 things you can do:
At boot up you can go into bootmenu and check if the drive is being recognized on the 1st controller.
If not check configuration of the drive (master/slave/cable select).
If this does not help check toshiba support website and download the latest bios (probably you already have it, check like mentioned above)
If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the orignal drive still works on your laptop, check the 40gb drive in another laptop or PC with adapter to normal ATA-connection.

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.
