Upgrade CPU for Satellite A100-683

What CPU can be used to upgrade the Satellite A100-683. Currently the Intel Core Duo T2250 has been installed.
I would like to upgrade my CPU and memory.;
(1) What is the maximum CPU that is supported by the mainboard?
(2) What kind of CPU kan I use. Thinking about a Intel Core Due T7200 or T7600?
(3) What kind of memory can I use to upgrade to 4Gb?
Looking forward to any reply thagt is usefull!

Hi,
I think since your machine is not anymore in warranty, you wont get any problems or a revocation of some kind of warranty when opening your machine and doing some techie-like work on it. :)
1. It should be the Core2Duo T7600
2. Use the T7600
3. 2GB+2GB? ;) T
Seriously: Try to use DDR2 with a FSB frequency of 667Mhz.
Thats all, still some questions?

  • Is this BIOS correct for Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U?

    I want to update the bios of my Satellite A100-SP2022 (PSAA5U-02G00G) with windows XP SP2 Spanish, because Im installing windows Vista (dual boot XP/Vista).
    The question is, if this BIOS file is correct for update in my notebook?

    I have download the file of Toshiba USA website, because my model doesn't exist in the Toshibas supports sites, but exist similar models (example: Satellite A105-S2194 - USA model - ).
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Hi Jon
    According the notebook description you must be from Venezuela. Am I right? ;)
    I really do not know if there is Toshiba some support page for South America but few guys from there have had the same problem like you. I can not say for sure if you can use BIOS update from US support site. I recommend you to call Authorized service partner in your country. They work with this stuff and I am 100% sure they will be able to give you right info.
    The addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true
    Bye and good luck!

  • No software downloads available for Satellite A100-165

    I need to download software for my A100-165(PSAA9E-OOVOOHFR) and it is not listed in the laptops series?

    I really dont know what your problem is but if I search on Toshiba for Satellite A100 PSAA9E I have founded all drivers and tools.
    So try it again, maybe you searched on the wrong website:

  • XD-bit (CPU feature) disabled/unavailable for Satellite A100-PSAA9

    Last week I bought the notebook Toshiba Satellite A100-847 (Satellite A100-SPAA9) that has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, model T7200.
    According to Intel specifications this processor (like all Core and Core 2 processors) has the XD-bit feature, known in Windows as DEP. I had the unpleasant surprise to find out that this feature is
    reported by Windows as unavailable (in hardware). I understood from the electronic manual on the recovery CD (which is an older edition than the printed manual that comes in the package) that I can make this feature
    available (for some older Satellite models) but I couldn't find any option in my BIOS to do this (my BIOS is made by Phoenix, version 2.0).
    I really want to know how can I make this feature available/active as my processor supports it and so does the operating system bought together with the laptop and more than that, this feature is something beneficial - especially designed for security reasons and supported by all modern processors and operating systems.
    Do I have to wait for an updated BIOS to include this option (to activate the XD bit feature) or to have it automaticaly set as active/available (instead of disabled/unavailable)?
    I am expecting a well documented response from somebody who knows what I am talking about.
    Thank you very much.

    First of all, Ive started this topic hoping that I can obtain a technical and to the point response, regarding exactly what I have asked. I do not wish for this thread to become a technical glossary, because any user that has the slightest notion of using Google or Wikipedia can easily find out what XD-bit, DEP and PAE mean (and those who dont already know what these mean cannot help me).
    I am compelled to repeat myself: my problem addresses the technical personnel, who really understand and know what I am talking about; it is not addressed to the average Joe who likes to hear himself talking, but not to the point.
    Secondly, anyone can find out that the Intel T7200 processor has the XD-bit feature just by searching on the
    Intel site: he will only have to type the words T7200 specifications into the search box; but anyway, here is the link youve asked me for:
    http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sspec=sl9sf
    Thirdly, my system has to support the XD-bit feature because:
    a) the operating system acquired together with the notebook is Windows XP SP2 Home Edition (so it is SP2 and yes it is in the PAE mode!)
    b) the mainboard and the Intel 945PM chipset support this feature it is the standard Intel NAPA platform (and, just for the record, the only difference between this notebook and another notebook I own is just the processor, which is Core Duo simple -Yonah-, not Core 2 Duo -Merom- as this Toshiba notebook has; and the other notebook has the XD-bit feature enabled and Windows uses it)
    Ive also tried to install Windows XP SP2 Professional and I used diagnostic and information programs (e.g. Sisoftware Sandra) but with the same result: I am reported that the processor does not have the XD-bit feature or this feature is deactivated.
    Taking into account that Intel has blessed this processor model with the XD-bit feature and Toshiba has used at its turn the omnipotent Intel 945PM chipset which has nothing against the XD-bit feature mentioned above it results that this feature has been deactivated most likely by BIOS.
    Ive started the topic [hoping that this forum is visited by Toshiba technicians in order to find out the problems their clients/users encounter and to act accordingly by offering them their support.
    PS: I am not mad, not at all; I do appreciate the interest shown in my problem, but I do not wish to accept/encourage useless and pointless discussions.
    If you wish, we can have other discussions on hardware topics but not on this thread in which I only hope to obtain the solution to my problem (solution that can come by a possible update of the actual version of the BIOS present on the site).

  • Special RAM brand for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)?

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A100-504 (PSAA9) with only 1 GB RAM. CPUZ says it's a Hyundai HYMP512S64BP8-C4 PC2-4300 module.
    I want to upgrade to 2 GB and was wondering whether I have to buy some special sort of RAM? Do I have to buy also Hyundai RAM or can that be a different brand? What about the specifications? Which RAM modules would be the best in combination with Vista and that Hyundai HYMP512S64BP8-C4 1 GB module?
    Thank you for your help!
    Bob

    One more thing: you can of course buy the memory modules from different manufacturers but be sure you use high quality product. I can recommend you also Kingston memory modules.

  • Max capacity of RAM for Satellite A100 PSAANH-04Y03F?

    Hello,
    I have finally decided to upgrade the ram from my A100 that I bought back in 2007.
    The problem is that I don't how what the maximum capacity is.
    I suspect that it is 2GB, but I'm curious about if it'll take 4GB.
    The reason why I haven't found any information myself is because I have no clue what model my A100 is.
    It says "Satellite A100 SYSTEM UNIT MODEL NO. *PSAANH-04Y03F*" on the bottom of the notebook.
    Googling that gives me 0 search results :/
    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    What chipset has been built in the notebook?
    The max RAM depends on the chipset.
    You can use an tool like *Everest Home Edit* to check the chipset.
    Then you could search for chipset properties.

  • Satellite A100-683: Small Lines running through screen

    Hello,
    I bought my Toshiba A100-683 for a month ago.
    The problem is that I sometimes see small grayish lines running through the LCD screen from the top the bottom.
    This is are the type of lines u also see when u use your (phone) camera to make a movie of a monitor / lcd screen.
    I don see them always and seem to appear randomly.
    I've updated my video card drivers but this didn't solve the problem.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem ?? Or knows an solution for it before i will send it for repair.
    LAPTOP SPECS :
    Date 2006/10/14 12:00:44
    Modelname Satellite A100
    Onderdeelnummer PSAA9E
    BIOS-versie 2.00
    Greetings from Holland,
    Gaston

    Hi
    I would recommend connecting it to the external monitor. If the small lines dont appear on the external connected monitor so I suppose the graphic card is ok and possibly only the FL inverter could has a malfunction.
    Anyway, its no matter whats wrong because the warranty should be valid in your case and all replacements should be done for free.
    greetings

  • Is there any Bluetooth module for Satellite A100-225?

    Hello
    I am wondering if a bluetooth module exists for a Satellite A100-225 (PSAA9E Series). What model?
    Thanks

    No, unfortunately this notebook does not support the internal Bluetooth module and it cannot be upgraded with such module.
    If you want to use the BT technology you will have to switch to external solution.
    Buy simply an USB Bluetooth stick. Such sticks are simply to use. Just plug in the USB port and configure it.

  • Memory upgrade on a Satellite A100-912

    I own a Satellite a100-912 and I want to upgrade its memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only PC2-4200 DDR2 SODIMM modules (533 Mhz). Before bying a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be any compatibility issues if I use to this laptop PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM module (800 Mhz).
    Is it going to work even at lower clock speed (533 Mhz) or is it going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know the FSB is able to handle 667Mhz modules.
    You can use lower modules (533Mhz) without any problems but modules with higher Mhz will not run with full speed due to the limited FSB.
    So I dont recommend buying 800Mhz modules. Firstly they are not supported and secondly its waste of money!

  • HDD upgrade on my Satellite A100-259

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my hard drive but I am unsure if its an IDE or SATA. Ive found software that gives me all laptop information and under the hard disk drive its got interface IDE SATA, so I am non the wiser the hard drive is a TOSHIBA MK6034GSX.
    I have a Satellite A100-259 PSAA2E.
    Many thanks.

    Hello
    According the notebook specification your notebook is delivered with 60GB HDD. Interface: Serial ATA Rev. 1.0a.

  • I don't know BIOS password for Satellite A100-528 PSAA2E

    hi..i have a problem...
    i have a laptop Toshiba SATELLITE A100-528 PSAA2E-01H00WGE....
    the problem is that i downloaded toshiba HW setup and i accidentaly set a password..
    .not a user password....it's propably supervisor password or bios password...
    .the thing is that i don't know what the password is...i boot up my pc and it don't let me get in windows if i don't type the password.....is there any way to remove the password ??
    it does not let me either boot from a cd or usb....i press F12 in order to choose to boot from cd or usb but it's still asks for the unknown password....is there any solution ??
    please answer it's critical !!
    thank you very much...

    >the problem is that i downloaded toshiba HW setup and i accidentaly set a password..
    >.not a user password....it's propably supervisor password or bios password...
    Thats weird because the BIOS or Supervisor password can be reset only by an authorized service provider.
    The BIOS password is a high security option which cannot be reset easily.
    So ONLY ASP can remove a UNKNOWN password.

  • Wrong nvidia drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    I downloaded nvidia drivers 97.45 but this driver recognizes my GeForce Go 7600 card as NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M. Is there something wrong with the drivers?
    At nvco.inf I found that there is only support for the latter card. What is happening?

    I wrote here last week but nobody answer me. I have Satellite A100-PSAA9 and driver doesnt work on Windows Vista. It says "This driver compatible with Wista Vista" so I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate also Turkish language. I was thinking maybe problem is Turkish version but I see it is not.
    I called Toshiba Turkey customer support but they said "We didnt test yet Vista driver, please bring your laptop here. Maybe we will report this Toshiba Europe and they will release new driver soon". I dont want to bring it anywhere, I want some solution.
    NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 doesnt work with Windows Vista Ultimate. Nvidia.com on web sites not release yet any GeForce Go Vista Driver. What does it mean?

  • Need Win XP drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA2)

    Dear all!
    I had an troyan horse program, so I have formated by Portion Magic.
    I have installed 2 new Windows (Recovery cd-rom for XP is corrupted) on "C" and "D" , but there are some problems now:
    the following things are listed with an "?" in the device manager: 1.
    Ethernet-Controller
    Sm Bus Controller
    USB Universal Host Controller
    pci device (PCI Bus 7, device 6, function 3)
    videocontroller (VGA-compatible)
    2. I checked the system by Everest, but it can not recognize that device (marks as [NoDB]).
    3. I can not install driver for that devices from Toshiba site....Windows does not see, does not recognize drivers for Ethernet-Controller . Absolutely.
    I know that procedure, but that driver could be installed by any way!!!
    4. Especially important. I can not connect internet. Connection light is green, connection looks like to be OK, but I can not download any information from internet, I can not open any site!
    Satellite A100 (PSAA2), Windows XP. SP1
    My situation is partly like http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=143532&#143532
    (Technical Spike), but I can not find specific Canada drivers!!(((
    Help me, please!

    Hi!
    Please have a look on the Toshiba Canada website. Its pretty easy to download all drivers:
    http://www.toshiba.ca => Support => Mobile Computing => Drivers and utilities
    Then you can search for your model.
    Im a little bit confused because in question 3 you said that you cant install the Toshiba drivers and at the end you said that you cant find the Canada drivers
    Please download and install all drivers and then problems are solved because without driver you are not able to go in the internet.
    Bye

  • Need wireless drivers for Satellite A100-259

    Hi
    Had to reformat my daughters laptop (A100-259 PSAA2) due to virus issues and am in the process of rebuilding it. Almost there but can't seem to get the wireless bit to work. Nothing appears in the system tray even when it's switched on (little switch on the right has the light on). I assume because i've reinstalled XP that i need to reinstall the wireless drivers but i can't seem to find them on the toshiba web site (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK). It only shows the Atheros management utility.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciate especially as i'm pretty new to this kind of stuff and she has lost the manual that came with the laptop.
    many thanks
    Norrie

    Hi!
    I dont know why no WLAN drivers are available for this A100 model and Windows XP but you can search for an other A100 model (for example Satellite A100 PSAA8).
    Then you will find an Atheros WLAN driver for Windows XP and it should also work.
    Bye
