Satellite Pro M30: Clock keeps going 1h back

Hi,
One of the users has a Satellite Pro, model No:PSM35E, the clock on the PC keeps going 1hr back. Even after the clock is changed to the correct settings (GMT...etc, Daylight saving is ticked). But when it's restarted it defaults to go back 1hr?
Any known issues with this???
Regards
Raz.

Hi Raz
I have found this issue on many PC forums and it is not related to specific PC or notebook and the strange is that I have never found any explanation for this. If your unit is permanent online I recommend you to use Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server option in Date and Time properties.

  • Satellite Pro m30 - clock is to fast

    Hi,
    I have this problem, i noticed some time ago (don't know exaclty when, because i was using time servers), that if the laptop is left for some hours without internet connection, the internal clock is going faster. It is about 2h faster every day.
    Can you point me what might be the reason??
    Cheers
    Filip

    Hello Filip
    I have googled a little bit and found many forums where you can find the same theme. Obviously nobody has any explanation why this happen.
    Only think you can do is to use option called Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server. This option you can find under Control Panel Date and Time properties.

  • UK key tops for Satellite Pro M30

    I have bought a Satellite Pro M30 in France and it has a French keyboard. I have set it up to work as a UK version but can anyone tell me how to get UK key tops so I can change them for the French ones. Failing that, does anyone have the part number for a new keyboard for this model?

    Wow! This system realy works. Thank you so much for getting back to me so soon.
    I will keep this question open for the time being just in case someone comes up with a place to get just the keycaps - hopefully that will be cheaper than buying a complete keyboard.

  • Keyboard not responding - Satellite Pro M30

    Hi,
    I have recently purchased a Satellite Pro M30. The keyboard has stopped responding completely. When I turn the laptop on and when it prompt me for login credentials I am just not able to enter it, nothing happens when the keys are pressed.
    I re-installed the unit using recovery CD but no luck. Interestingly, when I put laptop in stand-by mode, and when it comes back to normal mode, keys work for few seconds. Also if I kill the explorer.exe and launch new one, keys works for some time.
    Since keys are working when laptop comes out of standby mode, the keyboard is not completely dead/hardware failure. My OS is XP Pro SP2.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sanjay Kedare

    Hello
    The best way to check the functionality of the unit is to preinstall the unit with original recovery CD or DVD. Like I can see you have already done this.
    If the problem still persists I assume there is some hardware problem. I dont know if the unit is new one or used one but you should contact service partner in your country and explain them the situation. Valid warranty will cover all costs if some hardware part is defective and must be exchanged.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
    I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi
    Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
    I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
    What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
    In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device.

  • Satellite Pro M30 - cannot install sound driver

    Hi
    I have a Satellite Pro M30 which usaed to work fine but I can no longer install sound card drivers on it.
    I THINK it has happened since we reinstalled windows XP Pro with SP2 but can not be certain.
    It is trying to install the Sigmatel AVC97 drivers and comes up with the following error.
    Invalid operating system parameter or this installer does not support this operating system
    Any suggestions as there seems to be only one sound driver for the SPM30 family.

    Nobody here have got a problems with sound driver installation just you
    So is this not strange for you???
    Either you did something wrong or its your windows XP issue.
    Please note that the Toshiba driver page provides also the Installation Instructions
    There you can find the right installation order!
    Install your OS again and follow this instruction in this doc!

  • 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?
    [email protected]

    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.

  • Need info about max HDD size available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello,
    The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel. What exactly is the limitation of a maximum size of an internal HDD that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30-813?
    Recently, I have bought and installed seagate 160 GB SATA drive, onto which I have successfully installed WXP Pro and have been running it for quite a while with no problems. Recently, I have been copying large amount of data from an external hard drive to my new internal disk, and as the files were being copied as I noticed having about 50 GB free space left, I had experienced windows "delayed write failed" and a massive partition failure with no possibility to recover data. The system would no longer boot and the whole MBR was damaged. As the result, I have lost all data on my new disk.
    Although, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my laptop and that is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am certain that as an end user of a Toshiba product I have the right to know about a max HDD size limitation information for my notebook model. Therefore, I request Toshiba technical support representative to give me a straight official answer to my question.
    Thank you in advance,
    Andrejs

    Hi Andrew
    > The following question is mainly to be addressed to authorized Toshiba support personnel
    I think you are in the wrong area if you are looking for an answer from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a Toshiba user-to-user forum! You will meet here Toshiba notebook owner and enthusiasts who share knowledge and tries solve problems but nobody from Tosh :(
    I could provide my experience with the M30 Satellite and the HDD upgrade possibilities.
    In my knowledge the Sat M30 supports a 40GB, 60GB and 80GB HDD for sure.
    In my opinion you could use the 100GB HDD but bigger HDDs will not run and functions correctly.
    So switch to a lower HDD size and enjoy the notebook!
    Ive goggled a little bit and found compatible HDD and the part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810 -> 80GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810 -> 80GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2188B -> 80GB
    HITACHI G8C0000Z610 -> 60GB
    HITACHI G8BC00013610 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2183 -> 60GB
    TOSHIBA HDD2184 -> 60GB
    I hope this could help you a little bit!
    Best regards

  • What is the mainboard productnumber on Satellite Pro M30?

  • Satellite Pro M30, Is it recommended to install the new display driver from nVIDIA?

    I own a Satellite Pro M30 notebook, which includes a GeForce FX Go5200 GPU made by nVIDIA. On July 27, nVIDIA released a new driver and related software (version 61.77) which, as stated by nVIDIA, fits all its GPUs.
    I tried to install this new driver on my notebook (after removing the old driver as instructed by nVIDIA) but it does not install. Does somebody have any idea why?
    Why isn't the new driver posted on Toshiba's driver support site for this notebook?

    Hi
    All drivers are designed and tested for the notebooks and Tom is right about depending on notebook producer. That means that you can find all necessary drivers on Toshiba download page.
    As far as I know Toshiba supports the drivers delivered with the unit and updates drivers if needed.

  • Satellite Pro M30 going down without warning

    Hi,
    My one year old Toshiba Satellite Pro with a Sigma Tel C-Major sound card DIES quite a lot of times when I begin a sound intensive application, such as Sound Forge, or Windows Media Player or a game like GTA Vice City or Return to Castle Wolfenstein and many more, the computer simply powers off, instantly. Dead. Without any warning. At that point something sticks in memory because it will not re-boot from the power switch.
    Not without removing the battery and unplugging the power cord and then putting them back in again. This happens perhaps every third or fourth time but only with a program that plays music or some sort of sound effect. Can anyone help?

    Hi Ken
    this sounds a lot to me like your machine is overheating. I've seen notes in this forum that you could try clean the heatsink with a vacuumcleaner. Maybe this works for you - I don't know. But please be careful. If the fan gets running to hard from the cleaners air it might become noisy and even break.
    If you cannot find a way to clean the heatsink, I recommend you to turn to an ASP.
    Good luck
    Tom

  • Satellite Pro C650 - Audio keeps cutting out

    Hi Guys,
    I have searched high and low for the answer to this and its driving me insane. I really hope you guys can help me out!
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 01301J laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32Bit. I try and listen to music either through spotify or simply using my library of music in Windows Media Player,
    however after a while the audio cuts out. It isnt muted in mixer and the song keeps playing as if nothing has happened, except I cant hear anything.
    This is fixed when I mute and unmute or turn the volume up or down using the fn keys.
    When I first start up the music it will take 5 minutes or so before it happens, however once it starts it will cut out every 10 seconds or so. This gets extremely annoying and I am convinced there must be a solution.
    My audio driver is Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD version 4.119.0.61. I have tried deleting this and reinstalling it, downloading an older driver and updating it. It tells me it is the latest driver but its still not solved the problem.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is there another driver I could try or perhaps a program that is causing it?
    I would really appreciate your help on this as its driving me crazy being unable to listen to any form of music without having it cut out every 10 seconds...

    Hi guys - thanks for your help and I sincerely apologise for the delay in my response!
    Truthfully, I was so busy when I wrote this I forgot that it happened and all this time later I was googling solutions tot he problem again and came across this post - I thought "Wow this guy is having the EXACT same problem as me!" - Then I saw my name next to it.
    Ok, responses:
    Silas - The problem has happened since day 1. I tried to reinstall the value added package but no change.
    MasterG - I have not muddled with my system and it has always happened so I think its a software/hardware fault... The sound works perfect through headphones though...
    Neion - Sorry to hear that bud!
    PauPau - Sound driver update doesnt work, headphone did work, usage of different players has no effect and havent tried system recovery as yet as it has always happened...
    Still searching for an answer and, again, I apologise for not getting back to you sooner when you were trying to help me!
    Thanks Guys,
    Luke

  • Satellite Pro M30 - Download for drivers?

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone is able to help me out:
    I tried to find the drivers for my notebook on this site here, since my original CD with the drivers on it got lost. I was able to get to the drivers' section where I entered the serial number of my notebook. After this was done, I got redirected to a site, which appeared to store everything you need for the Toshiba Sat Pro M30. Sadly, all it did was displaying the "loading circle", no matter which section I've tried to access (e.g. "manuals" or "drivers", etc.).
    Next, I hit up the forums and read about an "archive", in which drivers and other utilities for older, outdated notebooks are available. Unfortunately, said section wasn't to be found at all.
    Also, my googling efforts didn't get me anywhere.
    Could someone tell me what I've have to do to get a hold of these drivers or, in case there ain't such an option, upload me the pack of those drivers (like e.g. on Megaupload.com)?
    I'd be forever indebted to this certain someone.
    Thanks in advance!

    I finally got it now. This is fantastic! Thanks a bunch!
    Well, it might be a bit too hard for someone to associate "Product type" with something like "Archive" and that's why many people don't see it.
    Back then, when I clicked "Production type" to choose from its list, I didn't even saw "Archive", cause "Notebook" hit my eye right away.
    Maybe they should make it clearer/more obvious. Just my 2 cents.
    Nevertheless, I found it in the end due to the help of you guys. Thank you so much for it!
