Toshiba Satellite P875 S7200- Motherboard

I have been searching for the name and motherboard information for a Toshiba Satellite P875 S7200. I have searched everywhere and cannot even find a break down for that computer. I really don't want to mess anything up as I have other projects to do. I am wondering if anybody could tell me the model number for the motherboard in a Toshiba Satellite P875 S7200.
Thanks for your time it is very appreciated!

I believe it's V000288120.

Toshiba Satellite P875-S7200 not booting/dark monitor

Hello, This is about my wife's laptop. A while ago the laptop was black when switched on. Nothing to be seen on the monitor. The sounds of the fan and harddisk could indicate some activity, and after a while we could hit the enter button and hear that some more happened. But since the monitor was black we had no idea what happened.The only thing we could do was forcing it to shut down by holding the on button in for so many seconds. Switch it on again, and the same thing happend. After like 10 or whatever times of switching on and off it suddenly booted normally.Everything fine, and the computer could be used as normal.Next time my wife wanted to use it, it was also normal but suddenly one day the monitor was black again. On and off many times, finaly it boorted up normally.This has been going on for a few months, until a while ago it was impossible to boot it. And, now the sort of "normal" sounds has become not so normal. The harddisk does not work and spin like before, and the fan acts up different. I went on this website, and typed in the serial number and model number or whatever it was and was taken through a troubleshooting, removing battery, holding in the on button for more than 20 seconds, I think I held it in for a minute. Connect to power supply but no battery and try to boot... well, I guess you folks have gone through all that yourself.Then I took out the memory, this one has 6 GB, and I tried to use only one memory card, no difference, and I tried the 4GB memory car where the 2GB had been, and vice versa, and the 2GB card where the 4 had been and only that, but no difference.Then I took out the harddisk and put it in my own laptpo, which is an older ASUS, and the computer booted up but came to a point where it said that it had to do some adjustments since the hardware of the ASUS was not the same as in the Toshiba. At that point I stopped because I did not want to mess up the drive and windows setup. But, at least it seemed to work fine up to that point. We have also tried to hook up the computer to the TV with the HDMI cable, and push F4 I think it is to switch from the laptop monitor to something else. The TV is as black and lifeless as the laptop monitor. So, I have been thinking it must be a problem with the motherboard. Sadly we do not have another monitor to try, and we do not have any other memory to try, and well, that is how it is. Do you guys think it is fair to say it is the motherboard ? The computer warranty is out years ago, and I have taken the hole thing apart today and have tried to look for a new motherboard for the thing. Or, can it be something else ? Thank you in advance for any help. The computer has been rather little used so it looks new and it is sad to just dump it. Best regards, Bill

Well, it has gone some time now, and here is what has happened since I initially asked my question. I got in touch with Toshiba online chat here on this website, and talked to a technician and here is what came out of it.I suspected before I talked to the person that it was the motherboard, and not the monitor, and from what I understand, if the computer has an HDMI outlet, and you connect it to another monitor or a tv that works as a monitor and nothing shows there, it is not the laptop monitor, but the motherboard. From what I understand, the HDMI is supposed to come out with a signal no matter what as long as the motherboard is ok. In my case the HDMI was black too, and well, I guess it could have been a case where both the motherboard and monitor was faulty, but at least the motherboard was faulty. The person did not advice me to do anything with it, but buy a new computer.Well, my wife liked her computer very much, and was a little disappointed the computer was dead after fairly little use even if it was some year sold.In addition she went to Staples and bought a brand new Toshiba, and it had a funky keyboard that did not feel good to type on, and the upper part of the screen was darker than the rest. Like if the background light was gone on the upper part, or not completely gone but partly.So, two Toshibas not being up to par, well, my wife would most likely not buy a Toshiba anymore even if it has been her favorite brand for many years, so I wanted to make her happy, and bought a new motherboard, installed it, and the computer came back up and is running fine. The only little minus is that the Welcome message in the beginning is gone, so no "TOSHIBA" over the screen before Windows comes on, and no way of getting into BIOS. I have no idea how to fix that, but at least the computer runs like a champ, and is as good as ever before, and this motherboard has sockets for 2 more memory cards, if she for some reason wants to upgrade. It went fine in the end, and the price was not so bad, only 157 dollars. So, it seems my wife is saved as a continuing customer of Toshiba products. I just hate it when she gets disappointed, so sad to see the suffering. Best regards, Bill

Toshiba Satellite P875-S7310 second HDD question

I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite P875-S7310 (http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/P870/P875-S7310/) and was hoping to install a second hard drive (SSD) to improve load times and boot times. As I understand it is rather wasy to install a second SSD into the P875-S7102, as it has a second hard drive bay, but I'm unsure about the P875-S7310. Technical support hasn't been of much help to me so I figured the second place to ask would be here. Does the Toshiba Satellite P875-S7310 also have a second HDD bay or will I need to do something like remove the DVD drive and buy a HDD caddy to install a SSD into this laptop?
Thanks a ton if you can provide me with any information,
Nianni150

The problem with those spec sheets is that they don't list the P875-S7102 as having a second hard drive buy, but in in fact does. It also seems to be compatible with whatever the bios firmware is and allows a SSD to be run seperately.
For reference here is the second hard drive bay for the P875-S7102 that was confirmed on this forum to function. I've attached a picture of the back of the P875-S7102 I've ordered which seems to have the same configuration. I guess my question is if anyone knows whether or not the BIOS supports a secondary hard drive and if there is a SATA connection. I was hoping to buy the SSD now and have it arrive at the same time as the laptop. but I'm hesitant to do that since I'm unsure whether it will work or not.

Will not send to printer (Toshiba Satellite P875-S7102)

Just bought a new Toshiba Satellite laptop (with Windows 8) to replace my HP craptop that died. This is the first Toshiba I've bought and I am already beginning to regret it
I figured out how to install the driver for my HP printer and am trying to print to it wirelessly - it shows it is the default printer, but it will not print to it. I get a little pop-up message saying there was an error, but it will not tell me what the heck it is.
It did the same when trying to print to PDF using Acrobat 8 Pro - and I just thought it may be an incompatibility problem between programs (although I could do other things in Acrobat).
Now I am wondering if it's just a printer related issue.
How can I fix? I am not that savvy when it comes to this kind of thing. Just very frustrated - may have to just go and get a refund and bag any further experience with Toshiba. Tired of crying over trying to get this darned thing to work!

Try again. This time disconnect the HP printer and then remove the printer from the laptop settings. Reboot. On most HP printers it will have you install the HP driver software BEFORE you attach the printer. During the installation it will ask that you attach the USB cable between the printer and computer. Do it. Allow the two devices to handshake and trade settings. Afterwards you should be able to disconnect the printer from the computer and do the necessary settings for the wireless connection. The HP printer should be able to get an IP address and Subnet Mask from the wireless router and allow your Toshiba or any other computer on the network to connect to the printer and print.
If all this fails, contact the HP website. It has a lot more information and drivers then anything you'll find from Toshiba.

Bios update for my Toshiba satellite c675-s7200 - Helppppppp :/

I am being told to download the bios update for my laptop so I put in the serial # and it gives me an update but I have read alot about once you upate your bios it wont work so I am really nervous about doing this..here are the problems I have been having..
1. My laptop was restored back to the factory settings just like it came out of the box.
2. When I turn on my laptop I have to press f1 to start windows now keep in mind it does not ask me to press any keys I only knew to press f1 because it was stuck on the Toshiba screen showing the f2 and f12 keys so I began pressing them all until i got to windows. None of the function keys work expect f1
3. Once I get into windows everything runs and works fine. I have gone into my toshbia asst to reset the bios to default but it does nothing so I can not apply it. What do I need to do?
I have been told that I need to replace my cmos battery but then I have been told that is not the problem the problem is the bios settings need to be changed to the default WELL ok how do I that if it will not let me?
Helpppppp...

Hi! It could be your CMOS battery causing this. Shut down your PC. When it starts up and you see F2 and F12 at the bottom of your screen, press F2. Find where it says to set to default on the bottom of the screen. My default is F10. Yours
may be different. After you set to default , save and exit!
Dokie!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

Toshiba satellite m305-s4815 motherboard replacement

Two years ago i brought a Toshiba laptop with Mode M305-S4815 in Houston, Tx.But now the motherboard of it was destroyed by a small accident. I've consulted Toshiba's after-sales center in Beijing, China .but they don't have the same motherboard. It makes me very confortable. Do you still have this mode in US market? I'm thinking of import a motherboard from US.Could anyone pls give me some suggestions? Or whom should i go to ask?
I'm looking forward to your feedback.
thanks in advance.
best regardsO(∩_∩)O~
DOCTOR

Thank you for responding but unfortunatly it still didn't work. It turns out that i have to set the hard drive to AHCI in order for me to install Windows XP. The problem in hand is i will be using this program called nLite.
When it asks me to put in the iaahci drivers i can't find it anywhere! i searched the web everything... still no hope.. i know that my laptop came with 2 CD's but when i searched within the cd's i didnt find any iaahci drivers...
Sigh can someone please tell me where i can find the iaahci drivers for Satallite M305-S4815 please? thank you..

Can I put a 2nd hard drive in my Satellite P875-S7200 laptop??

There appears to be a space underneath for another one so I have to ask. Can I put another hard drive in this laptop or not? I'm not going to buy another hard drive for this thing if I can't.
Please see the attached photo.
Thank you.

There are a couple of ways to run DISKPART. The most common method is probably from within the CMD console:
Start Menu, enter cmd in the search field, and then click on the CMD icon in the search result section.
Once the CMD console window launches, enter diskpart
Or you can access DISKPART directly from the "run" dialog:
<win>r    (then in the "run" dialog field,) enter   diskpart
Here's a screencap of the DISKPART Clean command. I inserted one of my Flash sticks (disk 3) and ran the Clean command on it.
The system info is in green color. My input commands are in blue.
Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7601
Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: JEFF-PC
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status         Size     Free     Dyn Gpt

Disk 1    Online          465 GB      0 B
Disk 2    Online          465 GB   100 MB
Disk 3    Online           14 GB      0 B
DISKPART> select disk 3
Disk 3 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status         Size     Free     Dyn Gpt

* Disk 3    Online           14 GB      0 B
DISKPART> clean
DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.
DISKPART>
That's it. I always repeat the "list disk" command after selecting the desired disk to eliminate user error (accidentally wiping the wrong HDD). The * symbol tells the user which disk is in focus, or which disk the system has selected for the user commands to be performed on the disk.
The Clean command usually takes only a few seconds to complete.
After running the Clean command, the HDD or Flash Stick will then appear as "unallocated" in the Disk Management Console window. I always do this before Cloning with my Acronis boot disc since Acronis will automatically select the unallocated HDD as the "Target" HDD. It also eliminates any question when selecting the Source HDD since the Target HDD will appear in Acronis (and any other Cloning/Imaging prep dialog screens) as containing no data.
Another way to be safe in DISKPART and assure that the desired disk is the one that you want to clean, is to launch Disk Management in Windows at the same time that DISKPART is launched, using <win>r diskmgmt.msc
The PC's disks will be numbered the same as in DISKPART. For example, "disk 0" is my OS and "C" HDD, etc.
Wish I could help with your Driver issues. That's an area of PC's where I'm a rookie

Toshiba Satellite P205-S7469 DVD Rom Replacement

Does anyone know how to replace the DVD Burner in a Toshiba Satellite P205-S769? I am assuming that I need to remove the keyboard in order to get to the drive. Is this similar to other Satellite models where I could simply remove the keyboard securing strip?

Is my Toshiba Satellite L35 Motherboard bad?

Here is my story, I have a 4 yr. old Toshiba Satellite L35 laptop that all of a sudden 1 month ago stopped showing anything on the screen. I replaced the AC adapter and then placed a new hard drive-Still the screen does not show anything. The On/Off light comes on and stays green, then the ac/battery light comes on and stays green, but the hard drive light just appears for a few seconds and then turns off and NOTHING on the screen. A computer repair guy says that it is the motherboard. What do you guys think? Can a motherboard just "go bad" with nothing done to it (like the computing dropping on the ground, or a drink spilling on it). He says he can replace the motherboard for $50 labor only (I would buy the motherboard myself). I feel that I can probably replace the motherboard myself.
James

if you think it is overheating try cleanin it out. cleaning notebook vents.
if you want to really get in there and clean it out. A305 disassemble.
but only do the second if your warranty is over.

Toshiba Satellite L555 freezing up! (Tech Head Challenge) Please Help!

It's been happening lately. My Toshiba Satellite(windows 7 home permium 64 bits) has been freezing up with multiple, thin, multi-colored lines with a noise similar to when a sound track on a CD sticks or freezes and no mouse response or any kind of response at all. I have to press and hold the power botton and force it to shut down. I noticed it does this more often when I try to play a video game,virus scan,video call on Skype and less frequently on youtube (youtube might just be a coincidence). Sometimes after the computer restarts and I virus scan or Skype then I have no problems. I think it happens when I virus scan or skype when I have both multiple firefox and google chrome windows open at once but I cannot be sure. I've tested the theory a few times but it's inconclusive however I am confident that virus scans or video game are most likely to trigger the freeze even if they are the only thing I have open on the screen.
Sometimes I get that message in the blue box that says "Windows is shutting down to prevent damage to your computer....." The strange thing is that after I force it to shut down if I try to restart it immidiately then it will boot. All the lights will come on except the orange one in the left hand corner,the screen does not come on and windows does not load. If I leave it for 30 minutes or sometimes less after it crashed then it will restart .The funny thing is that I had this problems about 8 months ago when I tried playing a video game called A.V.A. About 2 minutes into play it would freeze with the same noise I mentioned earlier.I repeatedly tried to play the game and it happened every single time and everytime I force shut down the laptop and try to restart it right after then windows will not load and the orange light does not come on. I removed the game and reinstalled it and I never had that problem again.Since I got the laptop it has randomly restarted like 4 times and I've had it for about 1 year and 2 months but now it is just freezing up (mostly) or I get that message in the blue box. At around April of this year the game stopped working. I keep getting error reports when I try to reinstall it and my windows no longer recongnized the digital signature of the company that made the game.
I'm not sure if it's overheating,I have a hard drive or motherboard problem or if it's a software problem. I've tried:
System Restore
Defrag
Disc Clean up
Non of these have helped. I've also tried using SeaTool for Windows to try to look for errors in my hard drive and it has not found any. I've also done that thing where Windows,with the black screen and white text, check through your files for errors and corrupted stuff but that report says that it hasn't found any errors at all. My computer has no slow down in performance that I can notice. It doesn't take long to start up nor does it take long to shut down. I don't get random error reports or anything like that. It works fine except for the freezing bit.
The fan seems to be working just fine and the latop doesn't get that hot. Sometimes it freezes when it's barely warm to the touch and other times it would be significantly warmer but it would not freeze even if I have multiple firefox and googlechrome windows open. Before all of this when my game was working I use to play for hours with the exhaust at the side significantly heating up the desk and the computer would run perfectly without problems except that brief period I mentioned earlier where the game froze 3 minutes in to actually playing the game,reinstalled it and solved the problem. Yesterday it froze on me while I was on skpye and today it froze on me about 5 minutes after windows log in on youtube without the computer getting hot,just barely warm. I just don't get it!
I've try using a vaccum to clean the vents without opening the computer. I've removed and reinserted my memory just incase they were loose and I've also removed and reinserted the hard drive to be sure that it was in properly and that has not stopped the problem either.
N.B. I did do a virus scan with a trial version of Kaspersky Pure that I installed less than a month ago and it does say that I have a virus called "virus heur trojan.script.iframer" and a medium and high risk events. I've tried to remove or quarantine them but nothing happens and when I scan again with Kaspersky Pure or Kaspersky Virus removal tool they find no viruses BUT the trojan report is still there with the option of removing and quanrantine.
As I've said before I've seen no slow down in performance and it works just fine except for the freezing and the blue box message. The only noticeable problem is that both firefox and googlechrome have been just a little,little bit buggy in that sometimes I would have to close down a window and reopen it again because the pages were not loading but that's only on Facebook and a few other websites and I thnk that's because of my internet connection. As I said, I've gotten no random error reports,not from windows 7 or my browser.
Please help!

It sounds sort of like it could be related to overheating, but on the other hand, you specifically said that it doesn't always feel warm. If you're okay with backing up your files, you might want to perform a full recovery back to factory default conditions. At that point, you'd at least know whether it was due to hardware or software.

Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change

My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
cannot re-enter bios.
Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple 1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
UPDATE
to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
3 download bios from toshiba website.
4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app.
7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win
8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.

Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery

Satellite P875-S7-102 needs driver but which one? PCI device?

My Satellite -P875-S7-102 computer with Windows 8 crashed recently while updating to Windows 8.l It was repaired and my personal files were saved but not much else. The function keys don't work now and I have a message that tells me the driver is unavailble. My computer repair person has said that he was only able to install the basics and that I needed to install the other things from Toshiba from Tosiba.. Because I am not a computer person and have no idea which driver I need to install, I am here asking questions. Atheros sounds familiar for some reason, as does Realtek, but there may be others I need.
I looked at how to identify which driver I needed and I looked at all the drivers but was not sure what to do. If anyone can help me with this, I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance..

I would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
Since you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 60 of the User's Guide.

After all that, you'll need to upgrade to Windows 8.1 again. Follow these instructions to do it properly.
